THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING. . AUGUST 3. 1808.
$20,000 FUND CAUSE OF
LOCAL G. 0. P. DISRUPTION
Twenty thousand dollars of food
money from the Republican National
committee!
That l the cause of the whole trou
ble, or In other words the whole bunch
want a chance. It has hern four years
since any one of the O. O.. P. in Ors-
fon got a glimpse of so much food po
Itlcal fold and the prospect of It has
given the heads and fronts of the lead
ership palpitation of the heart, so the
political gossips nay.
The golden glimpse, seen In anticipa
tion, has caused William M. Cake, chair
man of the Republican Htate Central
committee, to want to hang onto his
Job. The knowledge that the coin Is
cached away waiting for the time when
things grow warm In the presidential
campnlgn has caused the Fulton camp
to scent the air and, like wolves In the
wind, ralHo their muszlea on high In one
long howl of remonstrance aV the
chance of Cake's getting his retention
hooks on the nack. And up in the tall
tower the veteran editor, grown pes
simistic because four long years have
pHHMeil since last he lias heard the mel
low clink of campaign coin, fumes and
frets at the decadence of the good old
party.
That Is the reason there is strife, and
bickering, petty jealousies and conten
tion of spirit among the stalwarts who
want to take leadlna- nlncea In the rul
ing of the state.
nack In Chicago is a calculating gen
tleman by the name of Hitchcock. He
Is the chairman of the National Repub
lican Campaign committee and has had
entrusted to his care the somewhat
strenuous task of seating William Taft
In the presidential chair. Mr. Hitch
cock has figured that it will take Just
120.000 to niake'Hure that Oregon will
deliver over to the Republicans the
expected 40,000 extra votes. That is
Just four bits a vote, pretty cheap, but
comprehend ve In the aggregate.
According to popular belief the Jin
gling yellow boys have been tied up In
a nice buckskin bag, labeled "For Ore
gon" and put away for future refer
ence. And that little sack Is what has
loomed large along Oregon's eastern
horizon and cast its shadow over the
peace and harmony of the Republican
Slate Central committee.
Every one of the leaders think he Is
specially cutiout by nature, disposition
and previous condition of servitude to
spend that money. Each one knows
that he could spend it, because he has
spent money ever since his boyhood and
knows the sensation. Therefore each,
like the baby after the patent food,
cries for it and won't be happy till he
ets it . ,
Senator Fulton, National Committee
man Williams who is, politically, a
shadow of the senator, and the other
friends and advisors, want to put the
state through its paces and build up
a big Taft majority. To. do so would
bring- them prestige In the higher coun
cils, and political honor. Incidentally It
would give them the control of the
party machinery and parenthetically
would give them the control of the sack.
Oaks Has Eyes On the Poke.
State Chairman Cake also would like
to see the Inside of the buckskin bag.
His position as state chairman makes
him, ex-offlclo, the custodian of the
treasure. He wants to run the Taft,
campaign and disburse the Republican'
sack. Hut here a great nowi goes up
from the other side.
It is argued that there are debts un
der the Cake regime left over from the
late lamented municipal campaign when
T. C. Devlin was not elected mayor.
Then there are debts waiting from the
recent primary campaign and the June
caniDalgn. In the first of which H. M.
Cake was nominated for the United
States senate and In the second was de
feated by Governor Chamberlain.
Loud cries come from the Fultonttes
that should Chairman Cake get the com
bination he would pay these back debts,
and the Taft campaign would go lean
and hungry to the ballot box.
And there Is another protestant, loud
and disgruntled. Over, on the corner
of Sixth and Alder Is a gentleman of
trenchant pen who considers that It is
worth something like half the sack to
pour the salve of honeyed words on
the festered wounds of Oregon politics.
From the present viewpoint the out
look Is gloomy but the mellow radiance
of 1,000 new and shining double eagles
would light up the future and make the
past seem glad.
Anyway that Is the way they say It
is. Money Is the seed of strife and
there Is a 120.000 seed disturbing the
peace of the Republican leaders.

M'DOEL PARTY DELIGHTED
WITH TRIP THROUGH OREGON
"I have never seen a party of men
more completely surprised and con
vinced than wore the McDoel party
after their tour of Oregon. These men,
nftor a complete Investigation of the
western part of the state, say Oregon
Is one of the greatest states in the
union, and that It Is the most delightful
place to live." said William McMurray,
pcncral passenger agent of the Hnrrl
man lines, who lias Just returned from
a trip to Ashland with the visitors.
The private ear of Tresldent McDoel
of the Monon route, has been threading
tlie western Oregon lines of the South
ern Pacific for a week, and concluded
the tour at Ashland Sunday. The party
went tnrough the Rogue River valley
In an automobDe driven by Mrs John
O. Olwell of Medford, who with her
husband accompanied them as far as
Ashland, there overtaking the. Southern
Pacifio train, to which the MeDoel car
was attached. The visitors were en
thusiastic over ,the resources of the
valley. They visited the great pear
ranches of F. H. Hopkins and Hunt
Lewis, and other farms that have made
Rogue River valley- fruits famous the
world over.
Mr. McDoel will go over the new
Southern Pacific line from Weed to the
Klamath lake region. McDoel station
on this line is named in hi honor.
30 HAPPY YOUNGSTERS EAGER FOR
60-MILE HIKE TO NETARTS BAY
Dowij across thejbllls .and through the
woods that Btretch from Forest Grove
to Tillamook an unusual sight may be
seen today. Thirty boys, conveying a
wapon load of camp equipment and pro
visions, are hiking along. It Is "Go
west, young man," with them, with vis
Inns of a sandy beach, campflres. fish,
swimming and other like pleasures In
view.
The 30 boys, more or less, In this
party of hikers are from the boys' de
partment of the Y. M. C. A. of Port
land. They left on their annual vaca
tion at 7 o'clock this morning, the rail
road taking them as far as Forest
Grove. From that point the program Is
one long trudge to Netarts bay. At the
rate of 15 miles per day the boys will
be four days reaching their destination.
The party Is In charge of J. C. Clark,
director of the religious work i of the
Y. M. C. A. About two weeks will bo
spent at the beach by the happy young
sters. As they lined up for the start
this morning no one could doubt their
capacity for enjoying the sport of the
trip.
The Oregon hen 'has again stepped
Into the limelight. This time she comes
Into the ring with a stiff fight upper-
cut for the beef trust and her myriad
progeny are now crowing forth the slo
gans of victory all along Front street.
Not satisfied with the great record she
has made In past years with the mil
lions on millions of oval bombsnetis
with which she has kept up a continu
ous annual bombardment on the thou
sands of strnnirholds of the ment barons
the good old bird has heeded the Roose
velt cry against race suicide and has
after days and days of patient sitting
been able to send Into the field a horde
of young warriors who are now waiting
In their barred cages on Front street
ready to be launched rorin inio ins
1 r V
So It's back to the conifers with the
pork chops and the lamb chops and tha
roaats and steaks and all the other cuts
of the carnivorous trade. For spring
chicken Is now only 12 cents a pound.
All hall to the hen! .
All day Saturday the farmers poured
Into town wltli the spurred and fenth
ered trust busters and the dealers at
the local markets found themselves
overloaded long before the lenlth anj
In the rush to unload the price tumbled
from 15 cents In the morning to as low
as 12 cents In the afternoon. And best
of all the dealers still have chickens!
Chickens and then some on hand and
after that some more. The price will
prohablv remain stationary until the end
of tUe week, but In the meantime there
Is no reason why every man. woman
and child in the Rose City may not
breakfast, lunch and dine on yellow
legged "springs" every day If they
want to.
FeacUss Advance 10 Cents.
Aside from the chicken market th-3
most notable feature of day along the
"street" wns the advance in peacnes.
The Oregon peaches were plentiful two
weeks ago and the price dropped a little,
but with the increasing demand and the
waning season came a scarcity in tha
supply and the price is likely to soar
still further. The thrifty housewife
who has been a little late in securing
her fruit for canning should lose no
time in doing so. Two carloads of the
fruit are expected today or tomorrow
from California.
Oregon Tggn May Be Cheaper.
Along with the decline In the price
of spring chicken comes talk on the part
of the dealers of reducing the price on
Oregon eggs to compete with the east
ern product which can be obtained far
20 to 21 cents. The local eggs sell for
24 cents a dozen.
Other Produoe on the Street.
Cucumbers are coming in from Oregon
gardens and the market Is becoming
more reasonable for this delectable salad
perquisite. Pineapples from Hawaii are
scarce at from J3 to 13.60 per dozen.
Kgg plant Is more plentiful and the
price now ranges from 6c to 8c apiece.
Grapes are still slow In coming, only
the seedless variety from California
having as yet made Its appearance.

A woman who wanted her money
played detective this morning and as a
conseauence the second false murder
alarm within two weeks was turned In
to police headquarters.
There's a murder at 132 Fifth

Grants Pass., Or., Aug. 3. The ex

Pickett Creek district. 14 miles below
Orants Pass,, are to be fully developed
and shaped for mining and smelting
operations by the United Copper-Gold
Mines company. The Pickett Creek cop
pet mlnej nave been under development
ror several years ana nave an immense
body of high-grade ore exposed. Assays
made on the ore give returns of from
$30 to $100 In gold, besides copper
values of from 6 to 8 per cent. The
new company will Immediately begin
driving the tunnels deeper and opening
up the ore bodv for smelting and ship

The hydraulic placer mines on Para

Dlacer mines were developed

the results were highly satisfactory.
Los Angeles capital is behind the sev

represented.
From all Indications the old Green
back mine of Grave Creek district will
resume operations again In the near
future. W. H. Brevoort, the New York
capitalist who owns the Greenback, was
here recently and laid plans for the
future operations. A few men are em
ployed, and work has begun in a small
wav. The main ledge is opened to a
dep'th of 1,500 feet. Most of the ore
between the 900 and 1,500-foot levels is

is remarkable In that It sustains its

Seasons Extreme This Tear.
Canyon City, Or., Aug. 1. This year
has been one season of extremes follow
ing another, and In many localities In
this county complaint is already heard
among the farmers that the crops are
going to be very short. The most of the
month of July was very warm and In
localities where water for the irriga
tion of crops was not to be had, not
only the crops but vegetation of all
kinds have suffered.
Early this week frosts occurred in
many parts of the county. In some of
the higher valleys Ice to the thickness
of a heavy window glass was frozen,
and it Is believed has resulted In se
rious damage to grain. At any rate
many an acre will be cut for hay that
otherwise would have been threshed,
had it not been for the severe frost.

Springfield, Or., Aug. 3 Crops In
Lane county promise to excel those of
last year In everything but price. Hop
growers who have taken care of their
yards claim to have an abundant prod
uct. Some, however, have been so pes
simistic as to claim that they do not
expect to receive more than six cents
for their output.
Grain growers are happy and believe
anl , umi pi ilth win ue nign. i ne custom,
however.or turning the grain into hogs
Is growing, and less and less Is being
exported. The Washbtirne mill hero
has imported grain for a number of
years from the lower valley points, as
well as buying from local farmers.
Values in loose, good oat hay are
ranging around $0 and $10, but as low
as $7 has been received for poorer qual
ities of cheat and vetch.
Springfield wants a fruit cannery,
and If a good proposition were put to
the citizens it would meet with Instant
financial cooperation. The cannery at
Eugene failed to handle anywhere near
the full crop of this section, ahd thu
sands of pounds went to waste. The
prune crop will be heavy this year. As
many of the growers have their own
dryers. Mttle of it will be wasted. Prices
are expected to be good. Several con
tracts have been made. :

Athena, Or., Aug. 3. As the harvest
season approaches the belief Is strength
ened that the crop this year Is far below
par In yield. 80 to 2ft bushels per
acre, with one or two 40-bushel yields,
is the record of the Athena wheat
fields; and the smut is to be reckoned
with also.
The market Is strong and prices are
good, and will go a long way toward
making up the deficiency In yield. Only,
a few sales are reported In Athena to
day, but the wheat sold brought 75 and
78 cents per bushel.
The bariey crop this season Is proving
far better than the wheat, most of It
having fully ripened before the hot
winds set, many 65-bushel yields being
reported.
Heppner, Or., Aug. 3. Morrow coun
ty's wheat crop for this season Is esti
mated at 900,000 bushels. The market
Is starting off in good shape, and nl-
XX 1 ready buyers are In the field making
tra I o.iers of from 70 to Ttj cents
This is the first year that Morrow
county farmers have given 40-fold
wheat a thorough trial. While the sea
son has been very dry and this Is an
off year, the results with a good-sized
acreage of 40-fold are met with much
favor, and this variety will no doubt
take the lead In the future.
