loflHlature, the leader of the Hodaon.
, , Bailey-Beach-Ked machine have begun
. to pronely t In the camp Of tholr op
ponent. Traterday Mr. Hodaon Bought
out E. B. Col well at hla tor and
ought to perauada him to withdraw
. from tha race for atata aenator and to
' turn his strength to tha Hodaon ma-
. chine. A similar snort waa made vujth
lr. Emmett Drake, tha running mate
of Mr. CoiwelL
Like tha Qreeka of old tha machine
loader cam bearing gifts to their In
tended victims. Mr. Hodaon represent
ed to Mr. Col well and Dr. Drake that
hould titty vanish from the political
' horizon aa candldatea for tha prevent
rUh reward should be fhelra two
, years from now. At that future rime.
- Mr. ilodton ealL the machine would
' aet Ita coga In motion and by thu
- power of Ha pull would put both Mr.
. Colwell and Dr. Drake In tha senate.
But the two candldatea turned the
.- drumleas ear and the marble face In
the direction of the tempters and said
. them nay. Both are In the race to
ty. Mr. Colwell gives Ms version of
- the attempt in plain and atralghtfor
' ward language.
Offered Support of Machine.
"Mr. Hodaon asked me to itet out of
the race for the state aenatorshlp,
' offering to put the machine behind me
. .two year from now and to elect me,"
he said. "J refused. 1 am no quitter,
' and especially wlU I not He down to
this machine.
"I told them that Dr. Drake and
, tnyaelf were In the race to stay and
that we intended to make the race on
the Republican voters' choice. I told
, them that we were in the race to stay
until all the votea were counted.
"J asked them why they changed
their piatform and they replied that
It was because of U'Ren'a withdrawal,
but 1 know better than that. Their
change was due to the fact that the
people hammered them on the head so
nara that they had to change. It was
" freely said on the street by the friends
ef the machine candidates about the
time they filed their flrat platform
that they hoped to make a good many
. , voters believe that their declaration
. waa ' equivocal to an acceptance of
Statement No. 1. but they found out
It would not work and were forced to
take another tack.
, Machlaa Uea to Stand Together.
' '"Hodson' told me," Mr. Colwell con
tinued, "that the machine candidates
for the senate intended to Stand to-
f ether and fight together, and that
hey would go after the scalps of any
other candidates who ran against them.
He tried to bluff Dr. Drake and myself
- out or ine race, but we told him that
we had gone into the fight to stay and
. could not be called off."
Dr. Drake also discussed the ltua
- tion. He mm that since he and Mr.
colwell had entered the fight flat on
, the party platform he did not. see how
in reason the Hodaon combination could
bk tnem to step, aside.
."We waited," eaid Dr. Drake, "until
the party had formulated ita platform
before we announced our candidacy in
order that we (could conform our plat
forme with that of the county conven
tion and cause no embarrassment
Then the Hodson people came along and
disregarded the. platform they had
helped to make, coming out on a plat
form of their own. Now they have
been forced to climb back on the nartv
platform and I do not see why we,
who have always been there, should
set out of tha way to make room for
inhem. We are In the race to eta v."
iThat the Hodson-Bailey-Heach-Reed
leader are afraid the popular cyclone
wiii get them was demonstrated yes
terday afternoon when C. W. Hodaon
I made a wild break for cover and filed
I an amended declaration with the county
f clerk.
tour day after he - announced Ms
for the "people's choice for United
Btatea aenator provided ho is a Re

Portland In the ole of the Taclflc
coast's packing center la amusing the
Interest of livestock breeders through
out the states of fregon. Washington
and Idaho. The demands that will !
made by these great packing hmm's will
tax yve ability of the livestock men to
furylsh the animals on tho hoof to
keep these plants running. Kven mm

other words. ' 5 per o ut of the hogs
killed in Oreaon are shipped In from
the states to the eastward. This condl
tlon of affiilm must change if the Pa
cific northwest Is to support great pack
ing plants. It Is up to the farmer of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
Oood Stock ray.
C C. Colt, purchasing agent of Swift
ft i'o.. discussing the situation that will
confront the icreut plant that Is being
built In Portland by ills company, auld:
"ln 1 9 1 1 taere was held at the union
Blockyunio, Chicago, the first great in
ternational livestock show, under tne
auspice of the International Livestock
association and It Is a mutter of his-
! tory mat during that show a single
steer, me grand prise animal which had
taken all the premiums, sold at auction
for 91.60 a pound. II was a Black
Polled Angus, and his name was Ad
vance. It paid to raise him, a lie net
ted his owner something over 12,100.
They used to sell steers on the range
for 18 to 110 a head.
"The International ahow Is now a
permanent organization, and Is meeting
with greater success and favor each
year. Entries of all classes of live
stock last year were 4,496 single en
tries, not including 134 cars of cattle,
29 cars of sheep and 9 cars of hogs, and
the total value of the prizes given away
was approximately $76,000.
"Portland haa made Its beginning
and is to be congratulated on the for
mation of a Country club and Livestock
association, which ha for Its prime
object the advancement of the live
stock industry. The local community
and the state should heed the lessons
already taught to our neighbor beyond
the Rockies and get Into line and ad
vance, push, degelop the source of their
greatest wealth. The coming to Port
Land of the modern packing house and
stockyards is sure to pave the way lo
still greater possibilities.
Ship Direct to Market. , .
"The small farmer living closo to the
city will learn, as others have learned,
that it is money in his pocket to bring
his livestock to market rather than to
dress his cattle, hogs, veal and sheep at
home, pay expressagc, and perhaps then
not find a ready sale and lose .money
because the carcasses 'wont keep.' and
some are worthless, besides, being a
menace to the health of a city. They
can bring their hogn, sheep and calves
alive to market. If they haven't a car
load and live close enough, they can
bring them alive in a wagon.
"If not close enough, buy from the
neighbor, or mnk up a Joint car and
ship them in. They will be sure of
prompt sale and cash remittance If the
stock Is good; if not.Jt ha some value,
and thry will learn, as other have.
that It navs tn rrow better ones.
Mr. lolt said the Psclflo coast, and
particularly Oregon and the north weat,
have a distinct advantage over the reit
of the entire North American country.
This Is the newest section, and for that
reason tho advantagea of 'the experi
ences of all the rest of the country
which lias developed during the last
tnree centuriea'. isy ngni or iiimiii
and natural advantages, there is no pari
of the United kUute which can com
nam with It.
"What, then," he said, "muit be the
resuiiT wan past experience 10 duuo
from and a wonderful domain to work
with, civilisation must surely be at it
oesi in mi nexi generation, in mia uuu
of destiny. There are enormous indus
tries and line of work which have
bright futures, but none have a brighter
prospect than th great livestock indus
try. "We have the example of the middle
wsatern plalna. which only a generation
ago were ranged from the border north
to Canada by greut herds of long
horned, 'cat-hammed' creatures which
they called cattle.
"Civilisation demanded something bet
ter, eternallv called for a higher stand
ard and development. The ranchman
learned that if he was to get as much
money for his product as Tils neighbor
who was a progreaalve man, he must
put as good or better product on the
market. The experiment paid. He
realized more for his cattle because
they were better than uio ordinary, ana
civilization wanted the best .
"The packer was willing to pay more
for better quality because thoy proved
the cheupeitt to him In tho end and the
easiet to sell, and besides these two
great advantages, the good quality
pleased his trade, for the trade wanted
something better, and so you see he
not only made a frlrnd of the rancher,
to whom he paid a better price, but he
made a friend of his consumer, who
was well satisfied and willing to pay
for. quality; and likewise made money
for himself.
"The same Is true of the humble hoe;.
They used to ray down in Missouri
when I was a boy that It didn't pay
to keep 'hawga' that couldn't beat a
'nigger running. In those days the
hogs ranged the woods and depended for
their existence" on nuts and roots. Per
haps once every year tho owners would
have a 'drive' and of all the looking
animals which were the result of this
drive, you would probably guess 'hogs'
the last. Long legged, long snouted,
high hacked, coarse bristles, and about
as wide as the back of one' hand. . This
Is not an exaggeration. '
"Well, it Is the same old story. To
day Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Ne
braska, Iowa and Illinois, and even
Texas, produce more and better hogs
than any other section of the world,
and the razOrbCck,' or 'Indians,' as wn
uijcd to call them, are tilings of the
past. WhyT Because it paid to make
them better. Sheep have almost a like
history."

XA&OX.S BAtrXB.
Bauer recently expressed himself In
no uncertain manner with regard lo
piano players. His letter follows:
"in a recent letter I told you my
opinion of the Pianola, and while I
consider It euperlor in every way to
all other pianoforte-players, I am con
vinced that no Instrument, not even the
Pianola, can be considered complete un
less equipped with the Mptrostyle. This
device is not only Interesting and won
derful. . but positively Indispensable to
those who are sufficiently musical to ,
wish to become acquainted with the :
better class of music, and to perform i
It with taste and munlclanly expression. 1
One is amazed to find how closely it la !
possible for an absolute novice to ap-
? roach the interpretation of a great ar
Ist by means of this Invention."
The above Is only one of the many
flattering Indorsements which have
been showered on the genuine Pianola
-ell of which point to the great im
portance of the Metrostyle device, an at
tachment exclusive with the Pianola.
There Is but one genuine Pianola and

People who live near the end of the
various car lines have at least one
amusement to fall back on any time
of he day er evening It is in watch
lng the other people skip and elide and
run and fall In an endeavqr to catch
tho car juat pulling out.
At every terminal of the street car
system cars leave for the down-town
district every 10 or 15 or 50 minutes
And there Is always some person who
Is Just a second late, and he begins
to run and wave his hands and yell
or whistle from a distance from one
to two or tnree blocks.
It would be the same way If there
was a car every minute. It Isn't the
people's fault, nor Is It the street car
company's. It isn't the fault of any
one. There is no fault about It. It
Just happens that there Is always some
one who wants a car Juat as it Is be
ginning to leave for the other end of
the line.
"I live up near the end of Mont
gomery street," a man said In speaking
about the fun at the street car termi
nals, "and there is a hill near on which
many people live.' It is Sixteenth street
and it Is so steep that It Is impossible
for wagon to mount it.
"Wnenever I have nothing to do I

St. Petersburg, March 14. It Is of
ficially announced that four fifth of
the Jewish resident of Vladivostok
have been expelled from the city, and
that all those remaining must leave be
fore the first of April.
This wholesale expulsion Is In viola
tion of Russia's own regulations which
give the governors of the port the
fiower to discriminate and allow Jew
o remain In ports on a special per
mit from the minister of the interior.
By the middle of April all me Jews
will be expelled from Cronstadt and Se

oonsldered against Klcff Jews, attrib

come from all sdes that Japan is suf

cealing the fact that the financial sit
uation continues very depressing. Un
less improvement comes soon 'there are
evidences that conditions soon will be

The business depression is more
acute In some other cities than It Is In
Toklo, but this, of course, reflects di
rectly on affairs ere. Business men
are becoming cautious and financiers
are beginning to hoard their money and
call In loans not protected by gilt-edged
securities. In Osaka and Kobe several
failures of banks and business houses
are reported. So far none of th col
lapses have been important enough to
have any marked effect upon the gov
ernment, but everything adds to the
feeling of uneasiness.
The scarcity of money has, of course.
a depressing effect, but conditions are
better in the cities than in the smaller
towns.
There are rumors that some firms,
considered weak ever since war tiroes
started, may not be able to weather the
storm. Worst of rill, the outlook la far
