sary amount of money has not yet
been raised to insure a successful
season in Walla Walla, says the Un

gone ahead and scheduled several
games with the best teams in the
northwest
Fred Weed, the popular right-fielder
of the Portland baseball team, will
play again this year in a Portland
suit Manager Vigneux has boon
negotiating with Weed for some time,
and has received from him a signed
contract for the season. .Last year
Weed was one of the star out fielders
of the northwest league. He is a fast
runner, a clever fielder and a hard
bitter. He led the right fielders of
the league last summer, with an av

No Candidate Agreed Upon.
"Pointed questions put to tho lend

that no candidnte had been agreed
upon and that none had yet been put
forward at Snlom.
"What men who have been men
tioned in connection with tho gover

antis?" was asked.
"Senator llooth could probably got!

"How about Lowell?'-'
"We understand here that Lowell

therefore, be out of the light"'
"Is Fulton a possibility?"
"Fulton says he wont have It. Just
lot Fulton say tho word once, and
see what will happen. Thoro would
be such n stampede for Fulton for

and then the anti shook his head and
passed on to buttonhole a worker
from one of the county precincts.
The antis here are apparently dis
posed to watch the progress of the
fight, and to study tho qualifications
and strength of all available man,
before attempting to center upon any

exception of n few Simon leaders, the
republicans are satisfied that iuit
ehell can do nioro for Oreson and for
the Pacific coast than any othor man
who could have boon elected at that
time. It is said that a very ducidod
majority of the republicans of Lane
county favor tho election of a succes
sor to Simon, who can and will work
in harmony with Mitchell. The iat-
I tor senator lias Ave years yet to serve
in his present term, with a ood pros-
pect for another torm when that Is
I closed. The interests of the state ro
I quire, so it Is argued, that Senator;
' Mitchell's colleague in the sonato
should be a man who will pull with
j Mitchell and not against him.
I Initiative and Referendum,
i Mr. U'llen exprosses the belief
! that both the ropubllcan and demo
cratic state conventions will endorse
the initiative and referendum. Tho
republican state convention will be
held first. If the republicans should
Ikuoio the amendment, then the dem
ocrats should indorse it. the latter
party would have n decided advan
tage Bt the polls. "My experionco
with tho republicans," says Mr.
U'Hen. "is that they do not overlook
anything that will ho of material ad
vuntaBO to them in the campaign, and
I do not bellow that thoy will let the
democrats so into the campaign as
the sole advocates of the amendment
Tho amendment as proposed In this
state has been divested of all the ob
jectionable features, and Is certain
to meet wtlh popular approval. It
does not require that all acts of the
legislature shall bo submitted to tho
people, but leaves it in the power of
the people to subject any act to tho
test of popular vote, so that any
thing that is obnoxious may ho re
jected. The initiative and referen
dum amendment proposed in Oregon
Is the best that has yet been framed.
It can not he called cumbersome or
expensive, and yet It furnishes a com
plete safeguard against Improper
legislation."

tion that will be taken by the republi
can convention bo correct, and It
should seem probable that tho repub-

between Mr. Furnish and Judge Ste

Is waxing exceedingly warm in east
ern Oregon, and he gives It as his
private opinion that either of those
coiitostatits would rather heat his an
tagonist than bo governor of Oregon.
Walter Pierce's Opinion.
"Furnish will carry Umatilla coun
ty two to ou.0 In the primaries," said
Walter M. Pierce, tho Umatilla coun
ty wheat king and democratic poli
tician, who arrived In Portland Satur
day. Mr. Piorco Is a democratic par
tisan above all else and tho wish may
have been father to tho thought Mr.
Pierce has been mentioned as good
political timber himself In connoc
tlon with tho di-moerat nomination
for congresuian from this district,
bin ho denies the soft Impeachment
"Tho Ktatnrnnnt has been printed
that tho delegates to tho democratic
city and county convention would he
selected by precincts. Tills Is Just
what will not be done. At the last
meeting of tho city and county com
mlttoo decided to select thorn by
wards instead of precincts for obvious
reasons. Thn apportionment has not
yet been mudo.
While no official announcement
has yet boon made to that effect, the
democratic state ronvontlon will no
douht ho held In Hibernian hall.
The secretaries of tho city and coun
ty committees are arranging to open
up headquarters within a few weeks.
No apartments for tho purpose
have yot been secured.
"Tho democratic nomination for
congress will he made by tho state
convention, delegates! from the two
districts separating and forming two
congressional conventions. This has
always been the democratic usage in
Oregon."
