Contractor and Builder FIGHT IN THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION. The Valley la the Pivot--Strength f the Cantfidatea-.Hvaten In the Lea). A Salem special to the Portland Oregonian of March 4, says: For several days Southern Ore goo has occupied the attention of Congressional candidates in the First District of Oregon. Most of the time that has been spent away from home, and that easily includes a majority of the time, has been spent in the counties in the extreme southern part of the district. These seem to be the counties in which opinion has not yet been crystal ized, where lines are not tightly drawn, and it is possible to gather in a few votes. Both Tooze and Huston have been to Coos Bay, and are now "do ing routnern Oregon in their own interests. The same statement ap plies to Hawley, if the Coos Bay trip is excluded. That is one of the sections of thedistrict that Haw ley has not visited. fhe counties in which the several candidates seem to be spending most of their time, and in which no one candidate seems to have things his own way, are well worthy ot the attention being be stowed upon them. Lane county at the head of the Willamette Val ley, but usually classed as one of the Southern Oregon counties, is the largest county in the First Con gressional district, figuring upon a basis of the number of republican votes in the several counties. By taking an average of the votes cast for supreme judge and congressman, in the several coun ties in the First district during the past three elections, taking an av erage of the votes cast for each offi cer, and then an average of the votes cast for two officers, a toler ably accurate estimate of the repub lican vote of each county may be secured. While the estimate is un doubtedly high, and especially so for the primary election, neverthe less it furnishes a basis upon which to figure the relative importance ot the republican vote of each county, and the ratio of votes cast in each county at the primary election will undoubtedly hold good. Upon such a basis the republican vote of several counties in the First Congressional district has been es timated as follows: Benton, 938; Clackamas, 3,215; Coos, t,2&f; Curry, 330; Douglas, 2,093; Jack son, 1.724; Josephine, 924; Kla math. 543, Lake, 484; Lane, 2,741; Lincoln, 552; Linn, 1,921; Marion, 3,261; Polk, 1,290; Tillamook, 642; Washington, 1,852; Yamhill, 1586. It will readily be seen from this that the counties in the extreme southern portion of the district have enough importance in the contest to make them worth striving for. The total republican vote in the district according to the estimates given above, is 24,382. In the counties of Lane, Jackson, Douglas and Josephine alone, there are cast 7,482 republican votes, more than one-third ot the entire party vote ol the congressional district. The man who can get the bulk ot the vote in these counties, added to anything like a respectable fol lowing in the Willamette Valley, stands a bright chance of winning the primary fight. This it is that leads the several congressional can didates to assume their most becom ing manner, and with softly modu lated voice and a much-practiced handshake approach the citizen of the South. Could any one candi date sweep the counties mentioned and secure the strong following of Binger Hermann, he would land the plum. Divide the vote of those counties equally between the three candi dates, and that is what reports in dicate, and the strength of the can didate in the Willamette Valley counties assumes importance. In Marion, the largest republican vot ing county in the district, Tooze and Hawley will divide strength. Estimates of friends of both Marion county candidates concede that Huston will secure some following in Marion. Lion county is uncer tain, all of the candidates having friends. Clackamas is in the same position, with Tooze and Huston credited with the bulk of the vote. Estimates from Washington, Yam hill and Polk counties, the "West Side," indicate that Huston wi secure a handsome majority in each This is to be expected, as Huston is the only caudidate hailiug from that section. Estimates from Ben ton give Hawley a neat majority, while Lincoln seems to be divided between Hawley and Huston. Klamath and Lake counties have been visited by all the candidates and estimates received from there would indicate that each visitor wil secure a number 01 votes, jjui a . f- a. these counties are sparsely popu lated, and the republican vote is not large. Tillamook county, an- other one that is hard to reach tor campaieuinsr purposes, will lavor each of the candidates with some votes. Tooze probably receiving the most. Coos and Curry counties, which have been visited by both Tooze and Huston, and which are on the visiting list of Hawley tor the near future, have a total of 1616 republi can votes. The latest estimates from there indicate that Huston will have easy sledding in Curry county, while he and Tooze will have a sharp contest in Coos. Whether this condition will be changed after Hawley's visit re mains to be seen. From most of the valley counties in the district estimates have been received from three well-informed men. An average of these esti mates, which are based on the total republican vote given above, places the candidates excitingly near each other in regard to strength with Iuston and Hawley running neck and neck tor first place. With the vote in the valley coun ties pretty well crystallized, as it seems to be, the result of the cam paigns in Southern Oregon may possibly decide the controversy. livery candidate has visited every county in the valley, and every candidate has friends working in his behalf in valley counties. The ote here is pretty well lined up, and Lane. Jackson. Douglas and osephine counties bid fair to be come the battle-ground of the pri mary campaign. The campaign is the most strenuous Oregon has ever seen prior to the primaries, or convention. With the campaign gradually centering in Southern Oregon, the geographical location of the several candidates is beine discussed. Much is made of a few miles' dif ference there is between the loca- on of each candidate, as regards the central and southern portion of the district. As a matter of fact, there is but little to say tor any of them in that regard. Hawley, the nearest to the center ot the district, is but a few miles south, a short ride on the railroad, frorri the other candidates. Mr. Tooze and Mr. Huston are something near the same distance from Portland, and Hawley is the distance between Woodburn and Salem, in the same county, further removed than Mr. ooze. In connection with these argu ments, it is urged that the one who is the nearest to the Second Con gressional District has the least in terest in the First Congressional District. And again the fallacious ness of the argument is apparent, for an examination ot the taxroll of Marion and Washington counties iu wmcn an 01 tne candidates re side, reveals the fact that the inter terests ot the candidates in the First District vary inversely to their dis- ance trom the Second District. Huston paving more taxes in the First District than both the other candidates and Tooze paying sever al times the amount of taxes paid by Hawley. So in the campaign in Southern Oregon the candidates have little to offer in the way of geographical lo cation. They are all removed from the southern part of the district, and must be elected according to their respective menu and qualifi cations to do effective work at Washington. The work of the candidates in Southern Oregon will be watched with interest by friends !. as f n me vauey lor the result there will largely determine the result in April 20. LIVELY ELECTION AT BEAVERTON LARGEST VOTE EVER POLLED. Charter Amendment for Supplying the Town With Water Defeat- eel by a Vote of 29 te 29. The city election at Beaver ton last Tuesday was the most exciting in the history of that town. In the main the "city ticket" was victor ious over the "people's pi ogress ive ticket." Following is the vote Mayor Dr.JF. M. Robinson, 25 Earl E. Fisher, 43. for wouncuman, tor two years, George Hughson, 39; August Ros si. Tt: 1. A. Auuerson, 33; w. u, Hocken, 26. Recorder J. A. Chilton, 49. Treasurer -F. W. Cady, 47. Marshal vv. r. uessinger, 37 John Chatterton, 28. The ordinance providing for an amendment to the charter empow ering the city to issue bonds for the purpose of supplying the city with water was defeated by a vote of 29 for and 25 against, and as it requires a two-thirds vote to carry, the amendment was lost. "So the people of this town will have to drink Beaver ton cocktail again, remarked a citizen after hearing the returns. Illustrates Points About Rates. The Trenton, N. J., American gives the following as an illustra tion: "An ignorant contractor in Albany not long ago failed to shore up one pillar that was a part of the support of the building. This pil lar gave way, and the whole build- ing came down. If the interstate commerce commission should change the first class rate between New York and Chicago it would affect fully 10,000 . other rates, be cause the New York-Chicago rate is a base rate for practically all the territory east of Chicago, and for more than half of the territory west thereof. Intermediate places take a percentage of the Chicago rate, so that a single change, say from 75 cents per hundred to 70 cents per hundred, would necessitate in numerable other changes. 'When the arguments on rate egislation are divorced from poli tics, and the situation looked at calmly and honestly from a strictly business stand point, it is quite dif ficult to reconcile the statements of some of the members of congress who are in lavor of rate regulation with their acts. A representative is quoted as stating that it is not the desire or intention of the ad ministration to have a rate bill which will enable the interstate commerce commission to make all rates, but that they will only change a rate that is challenged.. 'Perhaps this is their intention, but what they did in the Esch- bwnsend bill was to give to the interstate commerce commission not only full and absolute control of every rate, but of every method now in force on the railroads that had reference to the transportation freight and passengers. It is difficult to see how a law could be drawn that would give authority only over certain rates." Attorney F. J. Heney says that he does not know when the Oregon and traud prosecutions would be renewed. The court calendar was crowded, he said, and the cases could not be taken up at present. I expect to go to Oregon shortly to look into the matter. I think it will be the middle of April before we get at the cases but 1 cannot give the date positively. Good things come high, re marked the short gentleman after kissing the tall young lady. Pris on Mirror.

Ex. The Development of Oregon. Oregon Mutual. The prospect of the rapid develop- ment of Oregon's resources was never so bright as at present. The Lewis and Clark fair advertised to the nation what had hitherto been an unknown land to a large portion 01 American citizens. The nation al resources of the state, its exten ivc lorcsts, us ncn mines, its vast agricultural possibilities, its wealth giving fisheries, are understood now as never before; and these in connection with the fact that the state is comparatively undeveloped, makes it the ideal field for the home-seeker. Capital is seeking investment here as never before. The Harri man, the Hill and the Sante Fe systems, all have projected lines of railway in the state, nor are they mere "paper" roads. Many of the proposed lines will be completed within two years. Practically every portion of the state will be served oy one or another of these roads. Electric roads are also being multi plied. These will soon torm a net work all over the more thickly set tled portions of the state. Manu facturing industries, on a small scale as compared with eastern states, are springing up here and there; small, but forming the nu cleus around which will soon grow up important and extensive plants. But the most marked improvement and the one that means most to the . . . iL , . state, is the awakening among the' r ' , . 6 . . 1 larmers to the importance of modern .... . . ' c'", methods in agriculture. From all parts of the state come news of the organization of horticultural and agricultural associations. In these are discussed numerous subjects vi tally affecting the welfare of the members. Old orchards that have ong ceased to produce revenue, must be made to do so again. New orchards must be planted with the best varieties of. fruit. Exhausted soils must be 'fertilized. Grain, once the chief product of the state, must be supplanted by forage crops. Scrub stock must give place to thoroughbreds. These and hun dreds ot other matters are being discussed and these discussions are leading to piactical results. Conditions on the Oregon farm today are radically different from what they were fifty years ago; but the changes during the last half century are scarcely greater than those that will take place within the next ten years. It is unneces sary to ask the people to "Watch Oregon grow" as the whole nation will watch and wonder within the next few years. Ivooklng for Carpet? Then ee V. O.

W a - lACt SHOE WANT TO GET BACK IN THE FOLD riNO THEMSELVES SHUT OUT Of the Primaries, Seme Are Aahing County Clerk te Be Permittee' te Re-Register. The following Albany special to the Oregonian refers to conditions at the county seat here, and. prob ably every county in the state. A few voters who have registered as "union," "prohibition," "socialist," "no party" or "independent," have found out that they cannot vote at the primary election, and are ask ing county clerks to permit them to re-register. The special from Albany says: Can a voter change his registra tion after the same has been enter ed on the ' registration records in the county clerk's office? This question is one that is agitating a number of people in Linn county. Many of them did not realize just the meauing of the direct primary law, and registered as belonging to one of the political parties that have not sufficient votes in the county to ! entitle them to a place on the bal lot in the primary election. Now, ft 1ii!wif-rff f.is. .Via. . V. ... w. (r,..uA .1 tL .1 1 tJ e the primary election, some of them u i- j have applied for permission to t. .1. V t change the name of the political 1 party to which they have register ed themselves as giving allegiance. This has given rise to some com ment on the part of members of the two political parties affected by such change. If a man is a mem ber of the socialist or prohibition parties, he could not hope to secure a seat in a democratic or republican convention and assist in making up the ticket and take part in the de liberations of the party. Yet, un der the direct primary law, adopted for the express purpose of letting the rank and file of each party run the party, and keeping one party free from the machinations of the other, members of the socialist and prohibition parties, men who origi nally registered as such, have ap plied to the county clerk for per mission to change the name of the party to which they belong to eith er republican or democrat. Such changes have been permit ted, and now the opinion has been expressed that by a few such changes as this the nomination of a party could be controlled, and weak men put up that would be easily beaten. As a result the mat ter is being much discussed, and the legality of such changes ques tioned. If such changes are legal, the di rect primary law opens a loophole through which the politics of any after month's ot to "Look id comfort, Shoes Shoes No better made.

An eminent Japanese bacteriolo gist has shown that the acid ot lem mons, apples and other fruits cit ric acid, malic acid are capable of destroying all kinds of disease germs. Cholera germs are killed in fifteen minutes by lemon juice or apple juice, and typhoid fever germs are killed in half an hour by these acids, even when considerably diluted. If you squeeze a lemou into a glass of water containing cholera germs, and let it stand fif teen or twenty minutes, you may drink the water with impunity, as the germs will be dead; these juices will kill other disease germs. In stead ot telling a man to have his stomach washed out. we can now tell him to drink orange juice, which will cleanse the stomach as thor oughly as a stomach tube, provid ed it be not a case of gastric catarrh. If we have to deal with gastric ca tarrh, in which there is a large amount of tenacious mucus adher ing to the walls of the stomach, a stomach tube to disjodge it is re quired, but in ordinary cases of biliousness, foul tongue, bad breath, sick headache and nervous head ache, a fruit diet is a wonderful purifier. Holy Roller Crace Over. Salem, Or., March 6. Holy Rol- lerism has apparently become en tirely extinct in Oregon. Joshua Creffield, the founder and leader of the movement, has been discharged from the penitentiary, and has quietly left for parts unknown. The five women and one man who were driven insane as a result of the teachings of Creffiield, have been discharged from the asylum and have returned to their usual mode of life. For several months after their commitment to the asylum they persisted in cherishing their delusions and continuing their strange habits. The asylum auth orities separated them, treated thetn kindly but firmly, and finally suc ceeded in effecting a complete cure. One after another was discharged, and when they mingled again with the world they showed no disposi tion to renew their fanatical denoru- strations. Creffield was sentenced to serve two years in prison, but by workiug on the public roads he succeeded in cutting his time down nearly one half. He was a good workman and a model prisoner. He contin ued his peculiar enthusiasm, but made no display of it. Once, while working at the rock quarry near Kosedale, be, with a number of other prisoners, attended church services at kosedale. When the meeting was thrown open for dis cussion or testimony bv the congre gation, he made an address which captured his auditors. Prison officials have beard noth ing of him since he was discharged two months ago. Our Grocery and Shoe Store jsr.ua- "i E ft-
