Fulton Cohorts Are Success

whatShowed by Events of
' tie Last Few Days.
Clackamas county has come to the
front with IS good men and tr,ue,
pledged to erv M delegates to the
7 Republican tat convention under the
banner of Fulton and a Taft inetruc
' tlon to the national delegation.
Teaterday the battle fought out In
Oregon City, the stronghold of W. 8.
TTRen. resulted In a clean sweep for
the Fulton program. All of the dela
' gates, according to the report, are
lined up solid, for Fulton and hla policy
of a , Taft delegation.
Lane county haa also swung Into the
v Fulton-Taft column. Yesterday after
' coon the delegates to the state conven
tlon -were- selected In Eugene. There
re II delegate from that county, and
at the meeting yesterday 11 delegates
were selected to the congressional con
vention and a second set of 11 to the
- state convention proper. All of the 23
men thus selected are lined up under
the Fulton banner. Lane county Is the
home 1. H. Bingham, and It will be
Recalled that Senator Bourne agreed
with representatives of the Booth-Kelly
. Lumber company that he. would vote
. with them on the Fordney amendment
o the Fulton land grant resolution pro
vlded he was given assurance that
Bingham could name the delegates from
Ijine county to the state convention,
"' Yesterday a strong effort was made
by the Bourne following In the Lane
county convention to elect one member
of the delegation and their candldata
. was turnel dawn by vote of 18 to 9.
: ' Bourne Seems on the Ban.
,' From these Indications And others
t just aa strong it would appear that
Senator Bourne, John C. Young, Thomas
WcCuslter and the second elective term
, are on the run. The Fulton foll6wlng
contends that it lias 24 counties solid
In line for Fulton and an Instructed
; delegation. Only one county, Lincoln,
with three delegates, Is conceded to be
aolldlx for Bourne.
. The Cake XoUowing seems to be fall
ing in line with Bourne, apparently
having heeded the warnings of John
C Young. The latest story bearing this
cut is one which relates that-James
Xerohem and Max Cohen, secretary of
i the Union Republican club, have agreed
i to gather at least 30 Multnomah county
i delegates In Cohen's office just prior to
t the convention and send them out lined
' up solid for Bourne and his slate. The
S Fulton men laugh loudly at the rumor,
and say that Bourne will not have half
that many delegates when the conven-
tlon is called to order. -
i y -otr-Boiinie-'''-'oaa;--'"--i-''.''---
s When the list of delegates was made
: up each candidate was asked Whether he
! would standi for Bourne and an unin-
t structed delegation. Before they could
i get on' the list they had to say they
i" would stand for Bourne as a delegate.
Many of these men were Fulton men,
who are now getting but 'At the hole
by saying that they will vote to-send

wants to wear tne collar with tne rest
of the boys. , , .
Stirred up by the efforts of toe
Bourne men to control this convention,
the radical members of the Fulton camp
are now coming to the conclusion that
Bourne should not be gven a place on
tne national aeiegauon. According 10

FOEAKEB DETERMINED
- TO FORCE HIS BILL
? (Caitef - rea Leased Win.)
Washington, May 9. Senator For
aker announced today that on Monday
he will move to make his Brownsville
bill - the unfinished business In the
annate.' which means it will be up for
discussion - each day until a vote is
reached, at bis retort to President
Roosevelt'a letters to senators that If
the bill did pass he would veto It and
If passed over, his veto he would ignore
Its provisions.
Foraker is determined to give Roose
velt an oppprtunity to carry out his
threat if he, can get votes enough to
support him.
Through the efforts of Oregon's dele
gatlon at the national capital Portland

at the supply city of the northwest for
the army and navy, and an additional
trad of several hundred thousand dol
lars" annually ; has been assured. This
city formerly furnished 1200,000 worth
of equipment and supplies to the com
missary branch of the department of
the Columbia, and this trade was lost
when San Francisco dealers by unfair
tactics graooea tne Dig government
trade. '
The Portland chamber oft commerce
took ud the matter with the commis
sary aepariment or in army at wasn
inicton and by the aid of the senators
and representatives from this state was
able' to secure favorable recognition for
me nose uuy.
Not only is the former business en
Joyed by local business concerns recov
ered but additional business to the
amount or nearly xt)UO,vvQ nas been a'
sured.
A letter from J. B. Aleshire, quartermaster-general
of the army, haa been
received by the chamber of commerce
advising It of this fair adjustment. The
recent order of the department con
centrating the buying of all supplies at
uau i auusuo was utanii esuy unjust,
as the goods sold to the government

and could not be sold as cheaply as
Portland merchants could hnv iHnnnimi

Seven mile more of sight seeing,
which included winding roads among
strawberry fields soon to vleld. and

supplying all facilities for urban life.
Hood River valley, 14 miles lonf by
seven miles wide, has a total population
of about 1.000.
Reoulrementa and their definite en
forcement in the important particular
of spraying, pruning, boxing and ship
ping the products of Hood River farms
have made a world market for what is
grown In Hood River valley. -This, added
to the "hang together and boost" idea,
has enabled grower there to realise in
many case $1,000 an acre from their
farm.
Portland booster yesterday learned
how to talk Hood River facts, and oame
back heartily pleased with their day
experience.
Secretary Rountree declared that no
Tiosslble future increase of acreage
given to apple growing in Oregon will
ever reduce the price received for the
fruit, especially that from' Hood River,
o long as present precautions are ob
served, for the reason that the world
will take all the apples that' can be

"The man with the Bmll8, that is
Nathaniel (Nat) K. Clarke, -and for
many year he has been main olerk of
tne Portland hotel now l manager
of the new Cornellous hotel, which will
open, tor business at Park and Alder
streets May 17.
Very few traveler who have come to
tne -nortnwest have railed to meet
dark. He is one xt the drawing cards
of the town and once his round, beam
ing face has been seen the brain re
ceives a photographlo Impression that
wears like the smile that won't come
off. And Clarke ha the smile, too.
He Is always smiling, except when he is
laughing, when he la asleep he keeps
hi family awake.
Francis J.' Heney ha a smile that
haa made him famous, but Clarke ev
erybody calls him Clarke has one that
makes friends. Inasmuch as Clarke Is
always smiling and has been for about
4Q years,' one can better imagine than
estimate the number of friends he has.
One man came to the Portland a week
or so ago and said:
t'WelCi bless my aoul, how are you T"
" Clarke wa "next" in a minute an
other faculty he ha that makes him a
good hotel man, and he said In reply:
"Well, well, how are you John Smith?
I haven't seen you In 17 years. Re
member that time we threw snowballs
at old man Winter's hat In Vermont 7"
And there you are. The man' name
may not have been Smith, but Clarke
knew the name, and he wa' right there
with the glad hand and the best room
in the house.., Leave it to Clarkel He
never, forget a face or friend, and the
best Is none too good for the man who
ha been longest absent.
t There are many thins-s to sav ahnnt
Clarke, but the best is that he is going
to hi reward when ne open up one of
the finest hotels in the city, and not
a clerk, but a manager. If he doesn't
make a success of It everybody will
know that rt will not be Clarke's fault

The action is in line With that taken
