The country in likely to hear much
In the next few years of Famuel Sea
bury. He Is the man selected by the
Democratic leaders of New York to
make the race for governor against
Charles H. Whitman, the Republican
Incumbent.
New York in all Important In the
presidential campaign this year, and
Seabury, having strong progressive
and Independent support, will add
strength to the national ticket. Stu
dents of New York affairs say that
Whitman, on the other hand, adds a
burden for Hughes to carry.
Presidential Possibility.
Democrats here familiar with the
Situation are confident that beabury
will be elected governor of New York.
They also predict victory for Wilson
In that state, but Beabury they re
ft' a rd as almost a sure winner. If
these expectations are fulfilled and
Beabury is elected by a sweeping vote,
he will become one of the most in
teresting figures of the day. He will
tit once begin to look like a presi
dential possibility for 1920.
Seabury Is 43 years old, and from
the beginning of his professional ca
reer as a lawyer, took a keen Interest
In political economy, sociology and la
bor problems. He battled the extend
ing use of the injunction. He became
a champion of municipal ownership
and his study of monopolies led him
to espouse the doctrines of Henry
, George.
Elected City Judge.
In politics he became a Democrat,
but not of the Tammany kind. At 26
years of age he was nominated for a
city Judgeship on a fusion ticket of
Independent Democrats and Republi
cans, and was defeated. Two years
later he ran again and was elected,
this time as an independent Democrat
Low. He ran 6000 votes ahead of Low.
Low. Heran 600U votes ahead of Low.
In 1907 he was elected a member of
the supreme court of the state, and two
years ago resigned this office to be
come a candidate for associate Judge of
the state court of appeals. He made a
urprlstng run, receiving 23.",0o0 more
Votes thun Martin II. Glynn, who was
defeated by Whitman.
Presided at Becker Trial.
One of the historic (rials over which
Judge Seabury presided was that of
Charles Be kcr, the police lieutenant
convicted of murder in the New York
gang trials. Governor Whitman was
the prosecuting attorney In that case,
and will now face in the campaign the
Iran he faced as Judge.
When Seabury was a Judge of the
supreme court, which In New York is
Interior to the court of appeals, he
made a ruling In the case of Mrs.
Pelxottl. a school teacher, who was
discharged for ahsenee from duty be
cause of motherhood. The court of
appeals by a divided vote reversed
him, but he has sim e had the satis
faction of seeing Ills position vindi
cated by a direct statute.
Liability of Directors.
In another case he ruled that di
rectors of foreign corporations were
liable for damages in an action by
stockholders, applying the flame rule
at to domestic orponft ions. This
Judgment was reversed l,y a divided
court of appeals, but since Seabury be
came a member oe the latter court a
case presenting the same issues was
New Southern Pacific Passenger and Freight Depot at Bar View, Or.
Bar View, Or.. Aug. 21. Bar View
celebrated in first class Btyle the open
ing and formal dedication of the new
Southern Pacific railroad station ai
this popular summer resort.
Ten bushels of clams were baked
and Berved to the populace as one
feature of the celebration, and the
next day 200 pounds of salmon was
consumed.
A lifeline for the benefit of tht
ocean bathers was also placed as a
marker of the occasion, and the crew
of the coast guard station put on a
thrilling boat drill.
Obstacle and sack race and other
minor sports and contests rounded out
the program.
Bar View has already expressed Us
appreciation of the. new station, which
is probably the most-up-to-date be
tween Hillsboro and Tillamook city.
decided unanimously as Seabury de
cided it In the lower court.
These cases illustrate vtho claim
made by his friends that Seabury has
brought to the bench a liberal Inter
pretation, a little In advance of his
Judicial brethren. No one disputes
his ability and hla high sense of
justice.
Tammany was not pleased with the
idea of Seabury for governor. But
his strength with Independent voters
was manifested In many ways, and
numerous progressive organizations
pledged their support. The adminis
tration leaders at Washington wanted
him because of his progressive views
and the assured strength he would
bring to the ticket So Tammany
yielded, and those who watch for ris
ing stars will do well to keep an eye
on the young New Yorker, who la
Judge, scholar and fighter in one.
SHIPPING BILL DOES
NOT PLEASE BLAGEN,
H0QUIAM LUMBERMAN
Washington, Aug. 21. Senator Jones
Of Washington, In the course of a
speech opposing the shipping bill, In
serted as part of his remarKs a tet
ter from N. J. Blagen, president and
manager of the Gray's Harbor Lum
ber company at Hoquiam, Wash., in
which Blagen at great length assails
the bill, and also stabs interestingly
at the regulation of the railroads.
The same Mr, Blagen recently wrote
letters to members of the senate from
the northwest protesting against the
child labor bill because It Interfered
with the "God-given right of the child
to labor." On the subject of the
railroads he remarks:
"My company Is one of the largest
shippers on the Pacific coast, ship
ping between four and five thousand
carloads of lumber annually, and I
will say -without any fear of success
ful contradiction that if the railroads
had been left absolutely free to make
rates as they saw fit we would have
a lower rate on lumber to the east
than we have today.
"After the construction of the
Great Northern railroad, J. J. Hill
issued a rate of 40 cents per hundred
pounds on lumber from here to Min
nesota transfer, and stated if the time
ever came when he could get all he
wanted to carry at that rate the con
struction of the Great Northern would
be an assured success. The time -came
when they could get more than they
could carry, and, with it came the In
terstate Commerce commission to reg
ulate tariff. Mr. Hill, together with
others, applied for an Increase of 20
per cent and they allowed him 10 per
cent, whereaa If there had been no reg
ulation we feel positive that a reduc
tion of at least 10 per cent would
have been made in rates."
Blagon declares that the regulation
of railroad rates has been a "colossal
.failure," and he predicts that the sair.e.
will happen If regulation of water
carriers is attempted.
FARM BANK LOCATION
GUIDED BY RELATION
OF CITY TO FARMERS
DEMAND MAY INCREASE
Movement of Orftln liiy Produce DLf-
to Hasten loading- Operations.
Washington. Aug. 21. Hints for
the Portland Chamber of Com
merce and others interested in. the
location of a farm loan bank board in
its tour of investigation, are contained
in a statement issued In connection
with announcement of the first part
of the itinerary .for the trip. The
statement says:
Will Hear Arguments.
"Witnesses appearing at the hear
ings will be able to advise tne board
as to the needs of the farmers for
credit for the development of agricul
ture in the respective sections of the
country; the extent that the farmers
expect to find it necessary to use the
facilities of the system; the present
difficulties in obtaining credit on farm
mortgages; and the cost of loans in
cluding Interest and commissions. It
will also be helpful to the board if
the witnesses in the respective locali
ties will be prepared to Indicate the
boundaries of the district which each
suggested land bank can pr&perly and
adequately serve.
Farmers Are Invited.
"The hearings will ba public, and
farmers and farmers' organizations
are invited to appear before the board
and submit all the Information which
they think will assist the board In
solving the important problem of de
termining the boundaries of the dis
trict and locating the federal land
banks. Hundreds of letters and In
quiries received by Secretary McAdoo
from farmers In all sections of the
country, in regard to the new law, in
dicate intense and widespread interest
la Its successful operation, and offer
cooperation with the board In inaugu
rating the new system.
Conditions to Quids Board.
"Many cities have applied for the
location of the banks. Of course, no
conclusions In this connection have
been reached, and much depends upon
the results of the hearings. In select
ing the cities for the headquarters of
the districts the board will be guided.
in some measure, by each city's rela
tion to the surrounding farming ter
ritory in need of farm loans and
generally speaking, the headquarters
of the district must be easily acces
sible by railroad, mail and telegraph
to all points of the district."
Lawyers Seek Commission.
Washington, Aug. 21. Representa

Sherman county, Oregon, settlers who
were granted relief under the recently
Salem, Or., Aug. 21. A letter from
the Washington public service commis
sion to the Oregon commission, dated
August 18, does not coincide with pub
lished statements that a serious car
shortage is being felt In that state.
The Oregon commission is Informed
that the C. M. & St. P. railroad, the
G. N. railway and the N. P. railway all
have enough equipment on hand for
present needs, and will have unless
there should be an unusual demand
for the movement of grain. The O-W.
R. & N. reports no present shortage.
but according to the Washington com
mission seems to be .In poorer shape
as regards cars than the other three
lines.
All of the roads urge the commission
to have shippers use every effort to
hasten the loading and unloading of
cars.
Drug Prices Increase.
Salem, Or., Aug. 21. How drugs

Hoff. He gives the years 1914 and

a
enacted Sinnott bin, are seeking to ob
tain power of attorney from the claim
ants whereby warrants in payment of
the sums appropriated will pass
through their hands.
The purpose, of course, is to enable
the lawyers to collect 20 per cent of
the amount of the claims in accordance
with contracts made at some time in
the past, instead of the five per cent to
which they are limited by the Slnnott
bill.
Mr. Sinnott declares there is no ne
cessity for any claimant to sign such
power of attorney or any form of as
signment. He suggests that if any
future action should become necessary
on the part of the settlers they should
communicate with him or some other
member of the Oregon delegation, who
will look after it for them.
"Food Is Its Own
Best Digestant"
"All too frequently, we prescribe medicines for patients who
suffer from indigestion, when, as a matter of fact, what they
actually need is a simple course of dietetic training, and the broper
food-stuffs to train on.
"This is the famous 'reason' for the popularity of Grape-Nuts as
an article of diet, viz., that it furnishes this very course of training
for the digestion. It not only furnishes the natural diastase for the
process of digestion, but it favors a return to normal digestive func
tion because the firm, crisp kernels compel thorough mastication.
"One ought not to leave out of consideration the psychic element
the delicious treat to the palate afforded by a dish of Grape-Nuts
and cream."

There's a Reason"
Xo Declaration on Baggage.
Washington, Aug. 21. The so-called
Cummins amendment to the interstate
corr.merce law, passed in 1915, has
been changed by an act Just approved
by President Wilson, whereby travelers
will not be required to declare the
value of poods shipped.
The Cummins amendment denied the
railroads the" power of limiting their
liability for loss. It was Intended to
apply principally to livestock, and
was not Intended to apply to bag
gage, but the language was so broad
that much annoyance has been caused
and many trains missed by requiring
passengers to sign up slips specifi
cally declaring the value of their baggage.

about to quit and asserts that no

for someone to come forward and
volunteer to act as postmaster.
Ralph A. Bain, postmaster at Har

has since been acting for him, but
reports that she cannot arrange to
look after It after ' August 20, and
