Walks From Portland to Take
Cliurgo of Paper.
Among the passengers who arrived
last night on the steamship Senator,
80 hours odt from San Francisco,
was John A. Seabury, late of the San
Fruncisco Call, who hus Just bought
a small weekly newspaper In Crook
county, the Laldlaw Chronicle, says
the Oregonlan.
Laldlaw Is a new stockralsing town
on the eastern slope of the mountains,
36 miles southwest of Prlnevllle, the
county seat, and 266 from Portland
by the nearest route. It is also 90
miles from the nearest railroad sta
tion, Shanlko.
An ardent pedestrian of the west
ern type, Seabury has hit upon a
unique plan to draw attention and
new subscribers to his little journal,
until now published by W. P. Myers,
a lawyer of the lava-bed district.
Weather permitting Seabury will leave"
Portland this morning in an attempt
to travel the 226 miles to Laldlaw

Employes 0r a Walla Walla Factory
Think They Arc Laid Off.
When employes of the Gilbert Hunt
company reuched the shops In West
Main street this morning, they found
pouted on the doom the following no
tice: "Owing to the stringency in the
money market all operations in this
plant are suspended until further no
tice," says the Walla Walla States
man. Consternation reigned among the
employes over the notice and the men
stood around in excited groups dis
cussing the shut down. Several took
the situation philosophically and re
turned to their homes, while others
waited around to interview the office
force. Men in the office were equal

the voters' throats a candidate that
can be handled, with the result that
a small chunk will be split off the
republican party and this much
strength added to the democratic
column.
But there is enough margin between
the majority and the minority parties
In Oregon to lop off the crooked,
rotten branches from the party trunk
nnd still give the statement " No. 1
candidate the best of It.
.A Statement No. 1 candidate Is go
ing to be chosen, that's certain, and
the republican voters In Oregon are
going to prove that they have as high
re Kir d for their party affiliation and
as deep a love for the right to let the
people choose their candidates as have
the democrats.
That also Is certain, and to the man
who can get away from the Idea that
being a good fellow means being a
good public servant and w ho can see
a higher principle In this fight for
statement No. 1 than mere sweetened
sound there can be but little doubt
that not only will the machine In the
republican party be smashed to very
small atoms, but the republican party,
the real, loyal, broad-minded, honest
tepubllcan voters en masse, will see
to It that a statement No. 1 legisla
ture chooses a statement No. 1 sena
tor from the party constituency.

PRAISE FOR 11. If, CAKE.
Republican Candidate for Senator Is
Extremely Popular.
The People's Press of Portland says
or H. m. Cake, republican candidate
for the I'nlted States senate:
The senatorial fight has simmered
down to cinch. When IT'Ren with

the state to stand by statement No.

Mr. Cake in his first public speech,
outlined a platform In entire accord
with the underlying theory of state
ment No. 1 and of the direct primary
and people's legislative system, Mr.
Cake added additional certainty to
the result of the coming election.
There Is only one faction In Oregon
that will prevent the election of a
statement No. 1 candidate to the
United States senate, thnt faction Is
the machine element In the republi

THE DRUG STORE THAT SERVES VOU BEST.
TO FIGHT WEED PESTS.
Yakima Farmers Organize Against
Pests.
With the advent of spring comes the
ever ore sent noxious weed. Farmers
of North Yakima have long been
troubled with all sorts of weeds, such
is water grass. China lettuce and,
above all, the Russian thistle, says
the Yakima Herald. The latter has
made its appearance during the last
few vears It has, however, gaineu
a stronger hold on crops than an
of the other weeds, It Is stated.
Ranchers have made some Individual
efforts to eliminate the pest, but thus
far have been unsuccessful.
it Is known that the Russian thistle
is not only one of the worst weeds to
contend with once it gets started, but
Is also known to be disastrous to
crops, and In some states the thistle
has totally destroyed valuable grow
ing grain and hay.
Th thistle Is not only found In the
rural districts, but also along the
city streets it begins to grow early
in the spring and keeps on until fall
when the roots become rooted and the
pest Is blown for miles over valuable
land, scattering Its seed as It goes.
This gives' It the name of "tumble
weed."
Farmers Fight Pest in n Rody.
Farmers In the Ritzvllle and Walla
Walla countries have during the past
years formed an organization each
spring and fall to fight the pest,
which threatens to totally put to
flight their means of livelihood.
Ranchers living around Ritzvllle have
already started their spring crusade
against the weed. Despite their ef
forts collectively the weed Is fast'
gaining ground and is causing no
small amount of anxiety.
The country around North Yakima
Is rapidly assuming the same annear-
anee as the Ritzvllle and Walla Wal
la countries. Unless something is
done, and that soon, the country
threatens to be overrun.
