date is gleaned from those to whom
the rumor is due.
Other candidates announced for the
Republican nomination are W. S.
U’Ren, of Oregon City, A. M. Craw­
ford, o f Salem, Grant Dimmick, o f
Oregon City, William Carter, o f Port­
land, and Gus Moser, o f Portland.
Others have been spoken of as possi­
ble candidate, but as yet have not an­
nounced themselves. •
It is generally admitted that none
o f the candidates now announced will
have a very general support from the
party and it looks like the primary
will be a big personal contest.
Hollis Best Candidate Proposed
Should Judge Hollis be urged to
enter the race it is admitted by many
that he would be the best man for
the job, and he has many facts in his
favor that indicate he would be a
strong cajjv^ate.
Mr
' " jy s been a resident of
i '■ J x f' 12 years, has twice
\ n . -«I
lower house o f the
state legislature, and is now joint
senator from the four Northern W il­
lamette Valley counties. His record
Salem has been one o f progressive
legislation and economical adminis­
tration. He is a Christian man, and
undoubtedly would uphold the moral
statutes o f the state. He is a man
o f mature mental development, and
judicial in his actions. He is at once
and a man in whom any and all could
place their utmost dependence.
I f is understood that a good deal o f
persuasion has already been applied
to the Judge, some from very prom­
inent sources, but as yet he has made
no statement in regard to the matter.
However, it seems that if his many
friends can convince him that for the
good of his party and the people of
the state he enter the race, that he
would become a candidate.
People of this city and vicinity will
: have the splendid opportunity of

Prof. Chapman has
been directing the practice o f this
great chorus for three months and
it is now in readiness to be given.
There should not be a vacant seat in
the auditorium of Marsh Hall when
the chorus begins to sing. In order
that those coming from Hillsboro,
Beaverton, and other outside points
may hear the entire program the
hour is set for eight o ’clock sharp.
The Oregon Electric train will be
held until 16 o’clock, to accommodate
visitors from other towns.
A quartet o f accomplished artists
will assist the chorus and a musical
treat o f the very highest order is in
store for all who go. This is the
last number of the Lyceum Lecture
Course, and there is every prospect
that it will be the best. General ad­
mission, 35 cents. Reserved seats, 50
cents.
Dr. Charles Hines, postmaster of
Forest Grove, feels almost as glee­
ful this afternoon as he did when he
was first elected to the Oregon State
Legislature. And the cause o f that
good feeling is the close proximity o f
the postoffice to
the P. E. &. E.
new electric depot.
The Southern Pacific people carry
the mail Tor Uncle Sam and the Doc­
tor must deliver said mail to the
office where the distance exceeds SO
rods, the distance measured being the
nearest door o f ’ lie baggage room
and postoffiee.
The local office has been carrying
the mail since the establishment o f
the depot up town, but Postmaster
Hines has thought all the time that
the distance fell within the80 rod
limit.
So this afternoon he and Albert
Kirkwood took the steel tape ard
measured the distance. The distance
from door to door was 1292.5 feet,
which deducted from the 80 rods, or
1320 feet leaves 27.5 feet in favor
of the Doctor and Uncle Sam. So the
railroad will deliver the mail.
