Champ Clark, discussing the Pan ama canal tolls at a luncheon In Wash ington, said: r "My opponent's argument on this point seems to me as absurd as the argument of Washington White. "As Wash sat on his stoop one morning 'round election time, the Re publican candidate for mayor stopped, sounded him a little, and finally gave his $1 to vote the Republican ticket "A little while afterward the Dem ocratic candidate came along and gave Wash $2 to vote the Democratic ticket. "Then, just before Mlnner time, the .progressive canaidate turned up and i gave Wash $3 to support the Progres- slve cause. " "Well, which one of 'em is you going to vote fur?" asked Mrs. Wash, as she smiled upon the heap of silver which her husband had earned that morning on the front stoop. " 'I think I'll vote for the fust fel ler,' said Wash, 'the one what gimme the dollar.' " 'Why,' cried his wife astonished, 'why vote for him? " 'Because, Wash answered, "because he is the least corrupt' " There Is More Nutriment to a pound of good meat than 3 pounds of cheap meats, beside the pleas ure in the eating!

The sawmill section of the plant was destroyed, together with 12 railroad cars, some of which were loaded with lumber. About two thirds of the floor of the dock remains intact. Two big engines hitched to dynamos, and a huge twin engine were destroyed. Losses are variously estimated at from $200,000 to $400,000. The planer shed. 200 by 300 feet, remains intact, as also do some dry kilns. Some sawed lum- oer on the west end of the yard was not destroyed. The greater portion of monorail sys tem of conveying lumber was damaged. There Is still a big stock of rough and planed lumber In the yards. Philip Buehner of Portland, one of the owners, motored to the scene of the fire last night from Portland. It Is asserted that the mill will be re built, and tha. married men will be given work first. The engine house is a wreck. The oil . house remains standing, but all stored oil was consumed by the flames. At midnight the McMlnnvllle fire department responded to a call for help by boarding a freight train and bring ing 500 feet of hose the seven miles to Carlton. The ruins are still burning.

QUESTION IS ANSWERED Chairman Says Quarral Za Sufficient Bespons to Inquiry Which Is Belnf Mad. The joint Investigating board of (he Taxpayers' and Nonpartisan leagues suspended its inquiry Into ttie failure to operate thet county efficiency code, this morning, long enough to hear Commissioner Rufus C. Holman say to County Commissioner W. L. Lightner: "I have submitted to the grossest Insults from you." And then to Commissioner Lightner" s reply: "No one believes anything you say." From which expressions, together with other words passed in a brief altercation, Dr. A. J. Giesy, chairman of the investigating committee drew the conclusion: "This wrangle has Its value. It answers as well as anything could our own question: Can the county business be administered in the best interests of the taxpayers when the commission ers work at cross purposes?" Lightner Qives Views. Dr. A. J. Giesy put a direct question to Commissioner Lightner: "Do you' consider harmony between county officials essential to efflc lency?" "Oh, this harmony business is a mis taken business," answered the commis sioner promptly. He went on to say that he believed a commissioner should vote one way HQLMAN LIGHTNER TT takes strong the active boy clothes that Bring your boys in tomorrow and see how nicely we can fit them out.

"Commissioner Hart is an uncertain , quantity, which Mr. Holman knows better now than he did." This was in answer to the question as to whether ne had an agreement with commis sioner Hart to work against Holman. Bad Feeling Indicated. Hart had a sick spell, narrated Lightner. Before his sickness he was cooperating with Holman. After his sickness he was turned against Hol man. "I can't explain why," said Lightner. I never went near him nor visited him nor had anything to do with him in any way in the world." As evidence of lack of cooperation. Lightner and Holman secured the ap pointment of a purchasing agent and several women office employes with out consulting him. Then, tit for tat. Lightner admitted that M. J. Murnane was deposed as superintendent of bridges and ferries and Madison Welch reinstated in this office, without consulting Holman. The questioning at this morning's hearing of the investigating committee was conducted by George Mason and Charles D. Mahaffie, members of the committee, with a number of questions by Dr. Giesy. Paul Stark Seeley, Ama- dee Smith and other committee mem bers. Nearly all the words passed be tween the two county commissioners was indication of bad feeling oetween them.

He wrote a letter of sym pathy to Senator Mitchell during his trial, expressing the hope that he would be acquitted. About the first of August, 101, in the midst of the land fraud trials, Thomas B. Neuhausen, chief special agent, notified Lafferty that his serv ices would not be needed longer In con nection with the trials, and that he could go to Lincoln county to investi gate homestead entries. As homestead Investigator Lafferty stood flat footed for the settler, and against the contentions of the general -land office. He refused to make an adverse report against the entry of any settler who had not sold his claim to a speculator. Started Suits Against Bailroad. In 1908 Lafferty resigned as special agent and opened a law office In the Ienton building. In 1907 he started the first suits ever brought to enforce the Oregon railroad land grant, A year later the government filed a similar suit, practically adopting the allega tions of Lafferty's complaint. When Lafferty was elected to eon- f:ress in 1910 the land grant case was agging. By many it was considered dead. It has since taken on new life, due to Lafferty's continual agitation of it, and the rase Is now In the su preme court, where a flnsl decision will be rendered inside of the next eight months. Antuor of Deg-lslstlon, Tn congress Lafferty has stood for the poor people on all questions. He ' Introduced the first eight-hour bill for -women, and the first street railway ownersnip dim, ever orfered in congress. The former is now the law and the lat ter has In a later bill been favorably reported to the house and will soon be the law. Big business says Lafferty never gets anywhere But the things he starts come to pass. From the day he was 21 till he came to Oregon in 1905, Lafferty practiced law at Montgomery City, Mo. He was raised on a farm and graduated at 29 from the law department of the State university. In Missouri, Lafferty served as prosecuting attorney, secur ing the first convictions against option gambling in agricultural products ever hsd in that state. McArthn Belped Burns. Now a word as to McArthur. Jn 190 he aided Detective W. J. Burns In fill ing the Jury box with anti-Mitchell men. Laff-rty took no part In the jury box filling and knew nothtnjr about It. McArthur assisted In it be cause powerful Influences were brought to bear on him to do so. He was a re- gorter on the Oregonian when hired by iurns for the job. The letter of the attorney general to President Taft, dated May 10. 1912, says: "Mr. McArthur, It is to be remembered was one of Burns' agents and furnished many of the reports now on file in the department. He claims, however, that he did so with great reluctance and under duress and after much persua sion. He does not state the nature of the duress, but. I am Informed, is willing to do so If you insist, very respectfully. ' GEO. W. WICKERHIIAM. "Attorney General." If Mr. McArthur should be elected to congress and should refuse to serve the interests be would have even more powerful Influences brought to bear on him. Lafferty has been offered bribe of cash, and bribes of favorable news paper publicity. Since both of these failed, he has been threatened with sc-andals and near scandals. It is an old political trick to "pull a scandal" on the man who cannot be bought. KcArthnr an "Assembly" ---aaaaaaaaama. - ,., IJia, - 4 " a . 1 M " -" ' " " i v o In 1910 Mr. McArthur was one of the prime movers In the "Assembly" In Portland, and was its nominee for state senator. He was defeated by George W. Joseph, the direct primary nominee. Between 1910 and 1912 McArthur waa out of office, and whom did he serve in private life? He served as presi dent oi tne mooo mver was st miectrio company, a subsidiary of the Pacific power &. Lignt company, organized lor the purpose of freezing out an inde pendent competitor at that place. That McArtnur servea as presiaent er mis company In 1912 is shown by the re port of the corporation on file at Sa lem. McArthurs brother, Lewis A. McArthur, is assistant general man ager of the Pacific Power A- Light company. Special Interests support BteArthnr. In this campaign every special Inter, est is supporting McArthur. His elec tion would mean that service to the corporations brings better rewards than service to tne people. . That Lafferty will be reelected No vember 3 by an overwhelming majority is practically a foregone conclusion. He ; is devoting all his energies to the cam paign for the first time, and he will win. He is not the kind who loses, at least without a fight. His defeat would mean that a lifetime of honest service to the public will meet with no sympathetic response from the voters, and the setting of such a precedent Is unthinkable.
