Ift it mere accident, or is there method in it, that every time
H7. M.Xake is a candidate, the good reputation of his opponent
must be traduced ? --Two years ago, Mr. Bourne was the opponent
of Mr. Cake and others for the senatorial nomination. 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. Knowing
full well that every fiber in Governor Chamberlain's being is the
essence of honesty, and that both in public and in orivate life

TO HIS RECORD
Rousing cheers for Tom Word, candi

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. Since

ESKIMO FIGHTS
with eie BEAR
(Special Dispatch to Tke J oar u LI
Dawson, May 7, via SeatUe, May !.
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.

responded with an application to
