Clyde B. Altchlson. candidate for re-
nomlnation as railroad commissioner, la
sued today the following reply to at
tacka that have been made upon him:
"For the past three years I nave been
more or less engaged In aervlce of fhe
state of Oregon. For 13 months I was
secretary of the commission to revise
the tax laws of the sUte. For about 14
months I have been active In the dis
charge of mv duties as railroad commis
sioner. The manner in which I havo
Iirformed these duties Is known to alL
It Is very significant that my official
acts have not been assailed by any of
m-w rivals, and that my honesty, com
petency and diligence In the discharge
of mv duties are thereby at least by
necessary inference commended even by
my opponents.
'Because they could not attack my

before its failure la common Knowledge.
They do not charge that I did or omitted
to do anything I should have done while

merely that I was 'connected' with the

"Counted with this Is the claim that
I was a 'secret' loonyisi (wnnevrr umi
may mean) of the company, and that
my appointment waa the result of s
political deal of some sort between Mr.
Bteel, the state treasurer, and the com
pany. This la not true. That my ap
pointment waa hot due to the influence
of any officer of the Title company has
been sufficiently established by the un
contradicted statement of Henry Hahn.

and to the proper senate committee.

not be censured for objecting to such a

owing to the fact It waa apparently
wholly misunderstood or not considered.
It did not receive a single vote of a
member of the senate. The effect of
the bill would have been to have placed

Injury to the entire state. In other
words. It would require 10 years after

DUMF ROCK AND
BRIDGE IS SAFE

steps to have rock dumped about some
of the piers of the Morrison street
bridge, a diver having discovered that
tne gravet oi me river Dottom has Been
washed away in places from the bridge
supports, commissioner ugntner says
the matter is of little consequence, as
similar wearing away or tne river bed
bas taken place many times before. All
that Is necessary is to dump In rock to
prevent any runner washing away and
keep the bridge In good condition. There
Is no danger to the structure. An In
spection by divers will be made in a

Both Jeffrey and Derby
Want the Congressional
Nomination.
In all of the state there is one splr
ited contest between Democrats for
nomination for office, that being the
fight now being made between John A.
Jerrrev or roriiana ana Anarew jaca
on Derby of Hood River for the noml
nation for congress from the Second
dlatriot.
Friends of Mr. Jeffrey believe that he
will be aoie to iana tne nomination, ana
that he will make a strong run against
the Republican nominee during the June
campaign. They bane their belief on
th.. txirt that Mr. Jeffrey has for veara
been one of the leaaing Democratic pol
iticians of the state, and Is consequent
ly well known in all sections of It. His
residence In Portland, where he is well
known, Is also considered to be in his
favor, while he Is also expected to draw
a number of votes from his opponent
by reason of the letter's having taken a
stand against Statement No. 1.
Mr. Jeffrey, if nominated, will make
an active canvass of the Second dist-ict
against tho Republican nominee expect
ing to receive strong support through
out the district.
