JUDGE RYAN
FOR TREASURER
'KEEP THE BANKERS OUT."
Friends of Judge Ryan Are Confident
f His Nomination Has Many
Friends in This County.
The contest for the republican
nomination of state treasurer has
plainly narrowed down to Thos
F. Ryan, county judge ot Clack a
mas county; Ralph Hoyt, a Port
land banker and K. V. Carter, t
Southern Oregon banker. Look
ing at the question asait now stands,
an Issue of great concern confronts
the people ot the state, inasmuch as
it is apparent that the banking in
terests of Oregon are making
desperate effort to secure control of
the public funds. What is the
meaning of this? Have the banks
advance information of a coming
money stringency? If this is the
situation then it is possible to un
derstana wny the bankers '"inner
circle" is bending every sinew to
'and one of their number in the
state treasurer's office.
The money under the care of the
state treasurer, including the public
school fund, is an immense sum
fir. can be used, in time of a money
panic, to bolster up banks tottering
on the verge of bankruptcy, the
bankers may now well expend a
handsome fortune to get control of
the state money. This is good
enough for the banks but how
about imperiling the bard earned
contribution of every taxpayer to
the running expenses of the state
as well as the public school fund?
There is another side to it. The
secretary of state is very likely to
be a balem Hanker. Should we
have a banker for secretary ot state
and a banker lor state treasurer,
these two would absolutely control
the loaning of the state school fund.
his fund is loaned on mortgage,
at the rate of 6 per cent and secured
by hundreds of farms in every coun
ty of the state. Should the fund,
instead of being loaned out as it
comes in, be kept in the state treas
ury, interest on money would ad
vance two or three per cent. Then
would come the bankers harvest
and the borrowers' trouble. As
men who lived through the panic
of ten years ago know well, a high
rate of interest with brokerage ad
ded means the auction block for
many and many a farm. Now is
the time to be wide awake keep
the school fund away from bank
manipulation. It is the balance
wheel that regulates the interest rate
in this state. We do business on
the credit system and dear money
for the borrower and hard times for
all of us, except bankers and brok
ers intrenched behind a large re
serve fund, walk hand in hand.
Would the bankers and brokers
like to keep the 6 per cent school
money loaned out or would they
prefer to have it hoarded up and
deposfted with favorite banking in
stitutions. Answer for yourself.
The united effort of the bankers
seems to be to defeat Judge Ryan
and to land some of their number
in the state treasurer's office. Hoyt,
of Portland, is a banker; Carter, of
Ashland, is a banker; Atkin, ot
Huntington, is a banker. But
the great mass of the voters of the
state of Oregon are not bankers and
every vote cast in the April pri
mary is going to count in this
struggle. The vote for nomination
of state treasurer should be cast
with a full realization of the situa
tion. Oregon City Courier.

All of the mines in the lower and

idle, while in the Lackawanna and
Wyoming fields a few hundred
men have returned to work. There
seems to be little hope in the coal
fields that the negotiations in New
York will result in an immediate
termination of the suspension of
mining. Should the operators pre
sent a counter-proposition, it is re
garded as certain that President
Mitchell will ask for another ad
journment in order to enable him to
discuss its terms with the miners'
committee and to frame an answer
to the operators. The develop
ments in New York have created a
more hopeful feeling among the
idle miners.

Newspaper Extracts,
Mr. Ilawley is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Con

campaign and his friends believe
he will be nominated. His plat
form has been widely circulated
and covers the questions at issue in
the congressional campaign. One
question to which he is paying spe
cial attention in his public speeches
and elsewhere is the question of
railway rate regulation. He is
ably supporting the princjples ad
vocated by Pres. Roosevelt for the
regulation ot railroad rates. Mr.
Iawley received close attention
and was frequently applauded
throughout his address, and you
can hear on all sides that ''Ilawley
is the coming man to represent this

THE NEW PUMP AND ENGINE
For the Oregon Condensed Milk
Installed by L. W. House,
of this City.
Co.
The Oregon Condensed Milk
Company has just received from
the manufacturers a 15 -horse-power
Morse Fairbanks pump and engine.
It will be installed at once, close to
Dairy Creek and 5.700 feet of five
inch pipe will be used to convey
the water. The engine has a six
inch suction which will give a ca
pacity ot 10,000 gallons per hour,
The plant installed will cost ap
proximately $5,000 and will great
ly increase the capacity of the Con
denser. While they can get suffi
cient water in the winter to run
the concern, it is ' hard to get the
supply in the summer time, and in
stead of running low they will be
able to run lull capacity, wntcn 1.1
about a case of milk a minute.
An increase in the demand of the
produce is part reason for installing
the plant, and the Condenser will
also have excellent fire protection.
The plant is being installed by L.
W. House and will be in fnll opera
tion in a short time.
Two years ago the Condenser
had two new wells dug which they
thought would be sufficient for
their requirements, but last summer
water had to be used over several
times in the process of condensing
and cooling. This new plant will
uliminate any uimculties in secur
ing water.
Judge Huston, candidate for con
gress from this district touched a
live issue in bis speech Thursday
night when he took up railroad
rate regulation. The control ot
transportation by the government
is the most momentous question be
fore the people today, says Mr.
Huston and he supports Roosevelt's
policy in full. A vote for Huston
will be a vote cast in favor of up
holding the president in a fight for
a railway rate regulation bill.

For Equal Property Rights.
The neit session of the Or. gon State
Grange will doubtless reaffirm Its posi
tion in regard to securing an act of the
legislature to reduce the husband's
right of courtesy one-half, making it
just equal to the dower right. Under
our present law the husband has a life
estate in all his wife's property, while
she has a life estate Id one-half of his
property. This law should be made the
same for both. We hope the Pomona
granges will see fit to reaffirm their posi
tions upon this matter, and ask the
State Grange to continue its labors in
its behalf. It came before tbe last legis

Never Happened Before.
Although spring has come, old winter
has left his finger marks on every bill-
side. The frost three weeks ago nipped
all tho new growth of the evergreen
trees that were exposed to the cold east
ind, and today they have a brown,
seared appearance as if they had been
scorched by a withering fire.
This Is something that has never hap
pened near Portland before, according
to the oldest settlers. There have been
many colder winters and the frost has
lasted for longer periods, but the ever
greens have never been injured.
The frost came at a time when it
would do the most damage to the ever
greens. The warm weather the nrst 01
March brought the sap to the branches
and the leaves and on many of the trees
tho young shoots were about to come
forth. When the cold east wind came,
tho thlc sap froze, causing the tissues in
the cells, which were exceedingly ten
der, to be destroyed.
The result has been that the trees on
the north side of every clump of fin,
cedars or evergreens have become brown,
and on some of them tho small limbs
are frozen and will die nearly a foot hack 1
from tbe tips. In all probability many
trees will be killed.
Not only have tbe native trees suffer
ed, but many ornamental evergreeens
in yards and gardens have also been
damaged to such an extent that they
will die. Portland Journal.

Dr. Withycombe is not the can

Judge Ryan's record as a public
officer proves him a man of business
ability, well fitted to perform every
duty required of the State Treasur
er. Being neither officer, stockholder,.
agent nor employee of any banking
institution, he is under no obli
gation to any corporation and
stands squarely on the following
platform:
"That the funds of the State be
long to the people, and should not
be USED FOR THE BENEFIT OP ANY
BANK OR MONHY LOANING INSTITU
TION; that MONttvs ot the State de
POSITED IN BANKING INSTITUTIONS
should draw interest, which
should be paid into the state
treasury. That the State Treas
urer should be prohibited from
SPECULATING OR USING THE STATE
FUNDS FOR HIS PERSONAL BENEFIT,
receiving for his services only the
salary allowed by law; that it be
made unlawful for the State Treas
urer to have any interest, either di
rectly or indirectly, in any bank
in which any of the moneys of the
State are deposited or loaned."
This platform is a good one, and
as the other prominent candidates
for this office are all bankers or

if Judge Ryan will surely be the
