Shepherd, primary candi date for congress, addressed the voters of Alblna last night at Ma Ira' hall. Mr. Shepherd paid his respects to the re cent merger of the Mount Hood com pany and the Portland Hallway. Light & Power company, declaring that this was merely the beginning of the amal gamation of all of the transportation light and power facilities in the state. He warned the voters that It was more 4han ever essential that the United States government should maintain a 10 foot channel in the Columbia river and 40 feet of water on the bar. Candidate Shepherd, in speaking, of the candidacy of Judge Gantenbein, declared that Gantenbein is the candi date of the Oregonlan and of the old po litical machine that ran the political af fairs of Oregon with such a high hand prior to the adoption of the primary law and the Oregon system. ' "Judge Gantenbein was-- elected cir cuit Judge," said Mr. Shepherd, ."and when he took the oath of office he sub scribed to the following: 'I will not ac cept any other office except Judicial of fices during the term for which I have been elected. He is a candidate for. congress, the candidate of the Oregon lan and of the old political machine of this county. He was brought out by the Oregonlan and is being actively sup ported by that paper. A few days ago met Mr. Piper, editor of the Oregonlan. and he told me that I had 'annoyed him very much by coming into this race,' but I hold that it la not the province of any newspaper or any combination of politicians to prevent a candidate from running for of flea If my platform meets the approval of the voters I have as good a right to run as any man. In the last analysis it Is a question for the voters anyway. . "Before Judge Gantenbein filed his declaration as a candidate for congress he announced that he would resign from the Judgeship, When once he came into the race, he said he would hot resign, as he had been requested not to do so for fear the governor would appoint a Democrat in hla place. Does he fear to let go of one office before he gets an other, or is he really afraid of a Demo cratic JudgeT What right has Candi date Gantenbein, with cases under ad visement to hold over- the bar of this county the prospect of his defeat and with - the opportunity to punish liti gants and members of the bar who might think some other candidate more suitable for congress than he is? Judge Gantenbein should resign from the bench,' he should keep faith with him self and with the people." '.i ; Mr. Shepherd wa Introduced last night by councilman R. E.

A lasting and artlstlo gift designed permanently to beautify the campus of the University of Oregon is to be given to the university in the form of a beautiful sun dial, by Mr. and Mra F. P, Mays of Portland, in ; memory Of their only son. Wilson, a member of the class of 1909, who died about three years ago before his -graduation) The sun dial, which was made by Francis Baker & Son, Ltd., of London, arrived from England abtfat two weeks ago and is now at the home of Mr. Mays in this city. It Is to be mounted on a block of solid California rranite. to weigh four tons, and will be set up in Portland before it is sent to Eu gene. More than a year , ago the dial was formally accepted by the board of regents, and there now remains onlv the formal presentation. V This has been left to President Camn. bell of the university, and while he has not yet made an announcement it la considered probable that the formal un veiling will be one of the features of commencement week. The dial will oc cupy a prominent place on the college campus, probably at the intersection of two of the most used walks. hr Inany students pass each day. It was the desire of Mr. and Mrs. Mays to give the university a memorial that would have not only beauty, but educa tional and scientific value. , For more than two -year they have had the gift in mind. After considering a memorial arch, a pipe organ and a campagnile, they finally - decided on a simple sun dial that would endure through many generations and confer lasting benefit to the college; as most fitting. . Mr.- Mays has been a student of sun dials for years, and he and Mrs. Mays personally worked out the design for the beautiful gift Three times in a year they sent suggested designs back to tbe makers before they were satis fied. ;.. . The dial face is engraved on gun metaL a material virtually indestruct ible. On the face Is engraved tbe exact latitude and longitude of the university, latitude 41 degrees, I minutes, 4.CS8 seconds; longitude 123 degrees, 4 min utes, 48.693 seconds,: and there are two mottoes in Latin, "How slowly ap proaches, how swiftly passes tbe hour," and "If you would, seise It be patient but be thou vigilant" So carefully was the dial worked out, that the difference between Greenwich and Eugene time is given exactly. It Is 8 houra, 12 minutes and 19.1063 seconds. Between two scrolls below the stylus appear the words, "In Memory of Wil son Pierce Mays, 1884-1910." There la also a table showing tbe difference for each day between solar and watch time. Slayer of Constable Dies. . (United Pre Letted Wire.) Vancouver, B.
