A feature of the "campaign was that' scurrilous literature, reflecting on Mr. Bourne, and made up of innuendo and representations of the' vilest sort, was sent broadcast over the state. Nobody ever knew the origin of the letters, for the stuff was unsigned. If was one of the most "disgraceful incidents ever known in a campaign in Oregon. ' " ' . A few weeks ago Senator Fulton was the candidate against Mr. Cake for the senatorial Tiomination. i ; Fulton came from Wash ington to make his campaign and almost simultaneously-every newspaper in Oregbnreceived advance sheets of an article from Collier's Weekly;, assailing Fulton in the bitterest terms. The article was acconipaiiied by a request' that it' be republished but it was so abusive , and so manifestly unfair that with a single exception the newspapers of the state refused to reprint it. Who caused this article to be scattered broadcast over the state? Nobody knows, but manifestly Mr.' Cakd was the only person who could gain by its publication. Mr. Cake is Jn another campaign and the war on the fair reputation of his opponent, Governor Chamberlain, is being, waged. While; Mr. Cake is declaring . from the stump how clean is his campaign, the old attempt at reputation-blackening goes on apace, through agencies for which the Cakes are responsible.

District Attorney Man ning and other candidates on the Demo cratic ticket were features of a rally held last night In the Bast Side Young Men's Institute hall, Williams avenue and Morris street, under the auspices of the Catholic Young Men's Carnival and street fair. Ex-Sheriff Word's re ception bv an audience that packed the hall to the doors" was In the nature of an ovation. Reference by him to the record he made while sheriff when he, stamped out public gambling was greet ed with enthusiastic applause. Mr. Word pointed out -from statistical data taken from the county records that the sheriffs office during his Incum bency had been conducted with a small er force of men aad at less expense to the taxpayers than during the adminis tration of-his immediate predecessors or his successor , In . that office. He called attention to the prolonged strug- f le ending In the passage of an act by he last legislature, In which Sheriff 8tevens figured. In .trying to set the profits of feeding the county prisoners. The speaker declared that if he were reelected he would let the rnunt? feed the prisoners, .thereby saving that profit to the taxpayers, and all he would ask would (be tha custodv of the Inmates of the county Jail, because the sheriff Is by-law made responsible for them.

The story of a terrific fight between an Eskimo and a polar bear is brought from ths Arctic slops by Jujlro Wsda, the Japanese muaher. ' " . In the middle of December a native named Nlgakuse was in his snow house, when on looking out through ths peculiar little place of exit he saw a polar bear. The man seised his rifle snd went out to give battle to the great white brute. Thinking it was best to let the bear get within close range and then to plug him with the leaden pellet and thus make no miss shot, the Es kimo let the bear advance to within a few paces. Nlgakuse raised the rifle, took steady aim down the glistening barrel and creeked the finger. The next moment, when the native expected to look beneath the lifting wraith of smoke and to see the prostrate form of a blood-stained giant, he was horrified to realise that the rifle had failed In Its service and that with the clogged barrel he was at the mercy of the pn-rushing monster. With angry snarl and rampant arms ths beast' fell on the now fleeing man and hugged him ferociously The wily Eskir did not submit supinely to being mutilated, but writhed and ducked. aiea. The bear held the man In such a way aa to clasp the vice-like Jaw on the unhappy Nlgakuse. The man lerkarf tha arm away, but In ths foaming mouth of tne beast remained a slice of the srm . The native then sidestepped, dods'ed and stepped away from the bear. An other native; attracted by tha noise, f battle, emerged from the onowhousi and with ready rifle and steady aim sent home the death messenger. Nisa kuse was repaired, with the crude pro cess of surgery available and lived to sink his teeth Into the forearm of the bear and to devour his heart, his brains and tenderloin and- to sleep in peace on the hide of tho brute which had dared to walk and to fight like man.
