, The vote in Multnomah coun
ty on Monday was on the unex
pected order, and was almost un
precedented on the si ate and
congressional tickets, while the
county ticket, as well asthe leg
islative were won by exceedingly
large majorities. .
The principal fight and the one
that commanded the most atten
tion in the city was the contest for
sheriff, for which there was one
Democratic and three Republi
can candidates. Most people had
become so disgusted with the tac
tics of Storey, the bolter and Bird,
the perpetual candidates that they
united on Tom Word, ' a Demo
crat, but in all other resptcts a
mighty good fellow. Tom was
dol ol the commercial travlers
we have traveled some rough and
rugged roads with him ourselves
and won by a good majority. . In
addition to this, two others of the
Republican, candidates were de
feated, the balance winning from
5000 to 10,000 majority. The
Hue inwardness ot the fight that
won for Wood and Dist. Atty.
Manning mtist be written later.
The Oregonian sums it up as fol
lows: "The church people, the min
isterial association and the- strict
Sabbath keepers voted for Wood
and Manning, because they
thought they would shut up the
gambling houses and saloons,
while the gambling element,
liquor dealers, dive , keepers and
toughs voted for them because
they knew they would not. These
reformers are "easy" marks. .
Miners Blown to Death.
Cripple Creek, Colo., June 6.
A concealed assasin, by mere
ly pulling a wire, exploded an in
'fernal machine, thereby instantly
killing 12 miuers and severely
wounding 1 1 others, one of whom
has since died, at Independence
today. All the killed and in
jured, with the exception of two
men fiotn the Dead wood mine,
were nonunion miners employed
on the night shift of the Findley
mine.
The men had quit work at 2
a. m., and were waiting to board
the suburban train ou the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek Railroad
aud return to their homes in
Cripple Creek and Victor. Just
after the engineer of the ap
proaching train blew his whistle
as a signal to miners, according
to custom, a terrific explosion
occurred underneath the platform
on and near which 26 men were
gathered. The platform was
blown to splinters, the depot was
wrecked, and a hole 20 feet in
circumfrer.ee, and about as many
feet in depth, was torn in the
ground.
Fragments of bodies were hurl
ed through space for several hun
dred feet, and later were picked
up still quivering. Some ot the
bodies dropped into the Dit made
by the explosion, but heads,
hands, ears, legs, arms and trunks
were strewn about ou all sides.
Pieces of flesh were found on
buildings 500 feet away, and
blood stained everything for a
radius of 50 feet.
The infernal machine with
which the diabolical work was
done consisted of a quantity of
dynamite estimated at 150 to 300
pounds; a loaded revolver and a
long
trigger.
steel wire attached to the
The revolver was fast
ened so that the pulling of the
trigger would not draw it away.
The wire ran from under the de
pot to the cribbing of the Del
lnonico property, about 400 feet
away, where its end was fastened
to the rung of a chair. The dy
namite was placed close to the
muzzle of the revolver which was
discharged by pulling the wire
when the engineer blew the whis
tle. The ball from the revolver
exploded the dynamite. Oregonian.

Preparations are going forward
for the next State Fair to be held
iri Salem September 12 to 19th.
One of the striking features of
the exposition this year will be
racing. Not in the history of the
association have such large purses
been offered for the saddle and
harness events as will be given
away this season. Between $12,
000 and $15,000 will be given
away for the racing events alone.
A purse of $2,000 has been offer
ed for the 2:15 pace, while the
same amount has been offered for
the 2:17 trot. In the first event
there have been 31 entries, and
in the latter 18.
As usual, the appropriation of
$10,000 from the state will be dis
tributed in prizes for the agricul
tural department. The feature
of this department will be the
competition for the best displhy
from the various counties. For
this prize $1, 300 has been offered.
- State Ticket.
The -Republicans won in the
state and congressional contest by
an average - majority of about
20,000. Hermann, n this dis
trict going back to congress by
over 7,000, while Williams on
the first received over 12,000 ma
jority. Frank A. Moore for
supreme court justice, wins out
by a majority of over 6000, while
Food and Dairy Commissioner
J. W. Bailey will get as many
votes, if not a few more.
Up to the present writing the
question of local . option is unde
cided, with the chances in its
favor. The votes in the country
are generally in favor of the
measure, while the cities vote
against it.
AH the Way by Land.
A company has been formed,
all the details of the plan have
been worked out for the building
ot a tunnel under the Bnglish
Channel from Eagland to France,
and in a very short time actual
work on this unique tunnel will be
strated,to be finished, it is hoped,
in two years. A French company
will furnish the capital, and per
form the labor.
One of the most cowardly des-
spicable boycotts that has ever
been our lot to hear of is that
placed on the handiwork ot the
blind broom-makers of Oakland,
California by the Labor Unions
of that state. This cruel, heart
less act should bring the blush of
shame to the cheek of every
union man. When organized la
bor finds it necessary to hurl its
immense strength and influence
against the product of a few blind
artisans, whose only hope is to
keep themselves out of the alms
house, then, indeed, have affairs
come to a prettv pass in this
great country. We re-echo the
blind people's appeal that hu
manity should take cognizance of
of their helplessness, and patron
ize their wares.
At the election in June, 1903,
Congressman Hermann was elect
ed by a plurality of 2271. In
1904, after a malevolent and un
justifiable campaign of vitupera
tion and abuse by the combined
Democratic press, his plurality
reached 8,000. Truly the Demo
cratic newspaper is a power in
the land.
The principal contest in ' the
national Democratic camp now is
as to who shall be the corpse.
Hearst poses as the "livliest"
while Parker claims the cake on
the plea of being the "dearest."
Williain Jennings Bryau is already
practicing on the funeral sermon.
