WELL EQUIPPED FACTORY
F. J. Chapman Adds Carpet Sewinj
Machine and Other Needed
Conveniences.
It is rumored that W. 8. U'Een will
be a candidate for United States
Senator when a successor to Charles
W.Fulton is to lie chosen. Ifhoisacan
didate, he will doubtless go before the
people on his record as an initiator of
legislation vesting greater powers of
popular government with the voters.
Should Mr. U'Ken enter the race, he
would prove a formidable candidate.
The people of Oregon have already
seen enough or hls.work to make them
know that he usually gets what he
wants. The fact is, Mr. U'Ren is the
biggest man in Oregon today. He
secured the adoption of tho initiative
and referendum ; he wrought an entire
change in the manner of holding
elections in Oregon ; he secured the
adoption of no less than a dozen im
portant state laws and constitutional
amendments in the last election, and
he made Jonathan Bourne the people's
candidate for United States Senator.
With the popularity and influence
gained in brinerincr about those re
sults, it is doubtful if any man in
Oregon is strongor than W. S U'Ren.
Senator Fulton has done nothing to
strengthen himself with the people
during his term of office, and it is
certain that he will have strong oppo
sition if he asks for the nomination a
second time. Mr. Fulton, it is true,
announced hi8 indorsement of many
of U'lten's Populislic measures, after
they had become laws, but this late
hour approval will avail him little in
the event that the next Senatorial elec
tion narrows down to a contest between
himself and Mr. U'llen. Tho Oregon
City statesman has not been working
up his game all these years for
nothing. He can give Fulton cards
and spades and still beat him at it.
An Eschweiler carpet sewing ma
chine is the latest addition to F. J,
Chapman's well-eriuinned furniture
factory and store in this city. This
interesting little piece or mechanism
does it work quickly and well, the
sewing being far superior to the old-
style hand work. It is the only
machine of its kind on the West Side.
and cost its owner $125. It is a ereat
time saver, and its purchase was
made necessary by a rapidly in
creasing carpet trade.
Mr. Chapman is steadily adding to
his stock to meet the demands of a
growing trade and now occupies two
floors of the Campbell block, in addi
tion to two large warehouses back of
the store. AVith the increase of his
business he has steadily added to his
facilities for manufacturing furniture,
and his output now includes nearly
all classes of house furniture. He
also does a large amount of up
holstering, his work in this iineleiug
of the very best quality. His next
addition will probably bo a machine
for the manufacture of bed springs,
of which lie sells several hundred
each year.
The axe-handle factory run in con
nection with his business is operated
to its full capacity, and more orders
are received for these useful articles
than he can fill. The handles are of
a superior quality of oak, and cannot
ue surpassed for shape and finish.

About This Country.
President Roosevelt wires congratu
lations to Prosocutor Heney upon his
success in securing the conviction of
bo many land fraud operators in Ore
gon. The President might have
added a word of commendation for
the law-abiding peoplo of Oregon who
nave made these convictions possible.
Just a little word of confidence in
Oregon and her people would have
been gratifying, especially to those
Oregon politicians who have called so
loudly upon the voters to "Stand by
Roosevelt" every time there has been
a constable to elect. The voters have
"stood" all right, but the President
doesn t seem to appreciate it. Is it
possible that Strenuous Teddy looks
upon all Oregon people as scalawags?
rerisn the thought!
If possible, the Tassenger Depart
ment of the Oregon Railroad & Xavi
gation Company and Southern Pacifit
(Lines in Oregon) lias surpassed itself
in tne I'JOG issue of its new publication,
"Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
their resources."
The purpose of the publication is to
attract homeseekers and investors to
the Pacific Northwest and this publi
cation is undoubtedly the best mes
senger that could be sent by residents
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho to
their friends in the East and Middle
West.
