Peary Is Anxious to Start for North
Pole by July I.
New York, June 9.—Confident of
his ability to carry the stars and
stripes to the north pole, Com m ander
R obert E. Peary, who has planted the
A m erican flag nearer the coveted
northern goal than any other living
man, is in New York m aking active
preparations for another A rctic dash
in the hope of solving the m ystery of
the north, which for centuries has
been the aim of daring explorers.
The stanch steam er Roosevelt, which
the Peary A rctic Club built for Com ­
m ander Peary, and which carried him
and his little party on his last n o rth ­
ward journey, has been overhauled
and put in better condition than ever
for her expected battles w ith the ice
barriers of the frozen north. The
ship is tugging at her haw sers in the
harbor of New York, ready to start
when her com m ander gives the word.
P eary’s present plans contem plate
his departure from New Y ork about
July 1, but lack of sufficient funds to
finance the expedition m ay prevent
the start. In fact, unless $25,000 is
forthcom ing by July the project will
have to be abandoned. A n auxiliary
ship or collier will accom pany the
Roosevelt as far north as E tah, where
P eary’s coal depot in the last expe­
dition was located. E tah was the
w inter quarters of Dr. H ayes’ last ex­
pedition and is located about 70 de­
grees north latitude. A sm all party
of sportsm en and scientists may go
north as far as E tah on the auxiliary
ship, returning with her about Sep­
tem ber 1.
C om m ander Peary has devoted
nearly 20 years to efforts to solve
the great problem s of the north and
already has put into the w ork all of
his personal means, am ounting to
$80,000. __ _______________

Butte, M ont., June 9.—T he N orth­
ern Pacific east from B utte is again
tied up by a new washout of 600 feet
of track near Jefferson Island, a small
station in the Jefferson River Valley,
about 60 miles from Butte. Tw o steel
trestles on the G reat N orthern are
reported as having gone out, near
Basin, 35 miles north of Butte, add­
ing to the dem oralization of that road>
G reat N orthern Railway officials
will not venture an opinion as to
when norm al conditions will be re­
stored, one official stating that in his
belief a m on th’s time would be nec­
essary to put the M ontana line of the
N orthern Pacific in proper condition.
The G reat N orthern telegraphic serv­
ice is com pletely dem oralized, and the
officials fear they have yet to learn of
tin; real m agnitude of the destruction
w rought by the flood w aters.
T he barom eter is higher than for
several weeks. This would indicate
w arm er w eather and w ith that the
rapid m elting of the snow s in the
m ountains. As there now is lying
from three to four feet of snow in
the m ountains it is feared the rush of
w aters will add to the dam age already
done.

Corrupt Practices Att Restricts Can­ Plan Bonds to Raise Money to Im­

,
didates' Acts.
Salem— The adoption of the corrupt
practices act by the people at the elec­
tion dune 1 will make the next political
campaign a vastly different one from
those which have been seen iu Oregon
in the last few years.
For one thing, the advertising plan
of .m aking a campaign, which Senator
Bourne made popular in Oregon, will be
less extensively used in the future.
Two features of the corrupt practices
act will tend to accomplish this cud—-
one a lim itation on expenditures, and
the other a requirement that paid ad­
vertising be so marked. Undoubtedly
the measure will have a salutory effect
in purifying elections, though some of
its provisions seem unnecessarily se­
vere.
Publicity in the m atter of Campaign
expenditures is one of the most import
ant requirements of tho law, and here
after it will bo necessary for candidates
and party managers to keep an account
of all expenses and file it within 15
days after the primary or general elec
tion, showing contributions to cam
paign funds and the purposes for which
all money was spent. Candidates are
perm itted to use one page of a pamphlet
to be issued by the state for the pur
pose of giving the voters information
concerning them, each candidate to pay
for the space occupied, and in excess of
th at each candidate may spend in a
primary campaign 15 per cent of one
y e ar's salary, and in a general cam
pign 10 per cent of one y e a r’s salary
though any candidate may spend a»
much as $100 if the percentage should
be less than that. A candidate for
governor will hereafter be limited to
an expenditure of $750 in a primary
campaign and $500 in a general cam­
paign.

Posse Chases Horsethieves.
Fugene.—The citizens of the Sius-
law valley, cm the coast of Lane coun­
ty, are becoming tired waiting for
tlie governm ent to im prove the bar at
the m outh of the Siuslaw river so ves­
sels can pass out or in w ithout delay,
and a plan is being discussed to raise
funds for the undertaking in another
way. It is proposed to bond that
part of the county lying w est of the
Coast range of m ountains for 30 or
40 years, and use the m oney thus
raised in building jetties at the mouth
of the river. It is thought by the
prom oters of the schem e that $100,000
could lie raised easily in this way. and
that with this sum considerable start
could be made tow ard constructing
the jetty. It is hoped by the time
this sum is expended the national gov­
ernm ent would be ready to take up
the w ork and push it to completion.
To m eet the interest on the bonds
each year, it is proposed to collect a
toll of perhaps 25 cents per thousand
feet on the lum ber and a proportion
ate sum on other articles exported
from the tow ns at the m outh of the
river. L ater a sinking fund could be
raised in the same way to pay off the
bonds when they become due. In
this way the expense of building the
jetty would be borne by the indus­
tries directly benefited by the work.
