1 (Boeelal to The JearaaLI
Pendleton, Or., Feb, Aspirants for
legislative offices promts to be plenti
ful in Umatilla county before the Aprl'
primaries. The fight waged to land th
nominations will probably be warm. Al
ready three men have taken th field
for the Republican nomination, and are
circulating petitions, and a number of
others are known to be harboring am
bitions to make th trip to Salem. S. D.
reterson, a well known attorney of
Milton and on of the present incum
bents, was the first to declare himself.
Peterson was one of the recognised pro
gressives at the last session and, in
view of his record, his friends are pre
dicting his reelection.
Joseph T. Hlnkle. another lawyer.
formerly of this city but now practicing
in Hermlston, was the second man In
th arena, Hlnkle sought a nomination
two years ago, at which time he became
known as th "alfalfa" candidate, but
be went down to defeat.
Roland Oliver, a young man of this
city, formerly an attorney but now con
nected with the Farmers' union grain
agency, has entered th lists. He Is
relying upon th farmers for support
He declares himself a progressive.
I Ia Mann, one of Umatilla county's
big wheat ranchers, representative from
this county for two terms, is expected
to make th race to retain his off lea
Mann's record has shown him to more
of a reactionary Republican than a pro
gressive, but he has many friends in
th county, and would be a formidable
opponent

(T7nited Pren teased Wire.)
Washington, Feb. 9. Thirty railroad
companies, scattered over th United
States, face actions today by th in
terstate commerce commission for vio
lations of the 19 hour law, which limits

(Bpoeial t Ths leamat)
Klamath Falls, Or. Fob. 9. Th vot
ers of th olty of Klamath Falls are to
have a wide rang In the seleotlon of a
new charter. The advocate of th com
mission form of government have pre
pared a charter and hav filed a peti
tion with th eounoil that th same be
submitted to a vote at th coming
spring election. Mayor F. T. Sanderson
and the city attorney hav prepared an
other charter that is to be submitted to
th voters at th same time. Then
there are those who believe that the old
charter is good enough. They hold that
all that is th matter with the present
status of affairs Is that th mayor and
the council have ignored the charter
and have been conducting the affairs of
the city without adhering to the laws.
The commission form of government
Is getting a strong hold on Klamath
voters. Th charter prepared by Mayor
Sanderson has not yet been made public,
but some of the features have become
known. Th only material change pro
posed Is to reduce th number of coun
cilman from 19 to B.
Mayor Sanderson is not yet an avowed
candidate to succeed himself. His
friends say that he is the logical man
for mayor, and that it would be poor
policy to change officials at this time.
Others are as strongly in favor of a
change. It is evident that should San
derson become a candidate to succeed
himself, there will b a hard fight at
th polls.

Spring Coming at Bend.
(Speptil to The Journal.)
Bend, Or., Feb. 9. Spring weather ha
prevailed here for two weeks, and the
farmers ar taking advantage of the
early thaw by plowing. In the Powell
Butte country some have begun plant
ing potatoes. There was a rainfall of
nearly four tnohes recorded here In Jan
uary, and th outlook Is for excellent
crops under dry farming methods. Th
mildness of the winter is shown by th
fact that pansles planted in aa open
garden are now blooming.
