every nook and corner of Wash

time he was recorder, as a teach

jeweler, and it is safe to say that
he has the resjH'ct and admira

come in contact, for he is genial
to meet, honorable in all the
transactions of life, believes in
being honest and upright, and if
elected county clerk, will take
into that ollice the ability to con

relating to commerce between
the states. During the present
congress a bill on this subject
was passed and signed by Presi
dent Roosevelt and the legisla
tion is entirely satisfactory to
railway employes throughout the
country. In proof of this state
ment reference is made to Presi-'
dent Roosevelt's last message.
Again Governor Chamberlain
accuses Mr. Cake of bad faith
and of vile and nefa-ious treat
ment of Senator F"" in. tne
primary campmgTr ii not deny
ing the charges m;il against the
senator and defending his good
name therefrom. The evident
purpose of Governor Chamber
lain is to create in the minds of
the friends of Senator Fulton, a
feeling of resentment and revolt
against Mr. Cake s candidacy so
that the governor would inherit
their votes.
Those who have heard Mr.
Cake's addresses will remember
that Mr. Cake siokeof Mr. Ful
ton in the highest terms and on
one occasion, in nis speecn in
Union, branded the charges made
against Senator r ulton as abso
lutely false.
Governor Chamberlain further
said that if he was a friend of
Senator Fulton's he would have
made that denial. Little com
fort will be obtained by the gov
ernor when the true tacts re
garding that controversy between
Mr. Heney and Air. Fulton are
known. Mr. Heney in his speech
in Portland on January 28th last,
quotes the statement of Govern
or Chamberlain uing these
words: "Governor Chamberlain,
I have talked with aliout this
matter. He has male no affida
vit, but I supjKise his word will
go without swearir? to it and
here is what he to.d me. " .
. . . Then Mr. Heney quot
ed at length from the statement
of the governor in w hich J. S.
Smith was by him fully
vjt of I.ishop II. L. Uarclay who
a.M, outw m on the game
nun tinM'rnnr -na-'r)erlain at
Salem, gave out an interview to
avei, Known democratic paper
for the purpose of confirming the
statement of Heney and discred
iting Senator Fulton when the
senator, branded the statement
a malacious lie. It r.o becomes
apparent to the public that the
governor, although r.o contend
ing that Cake shiny have de-
ieniieu senator r uian, was one
of the parties engird in the
dastardly attempt 1 to blacken
Senator Fulton's fcui name for
the purpose of bolrin up ns
own political ambition. It now
appears most certain that Heney
and Chamberlain were conspir
ing together lor tne purpose of
aiding in democratic success for
the senatorial campaign.
The governor must think that
the voters of Oregon do not read
the newspapers or he would not
have assailed Mr. Lake for fail
ing to defend an accusation
against Senator ru.ton, which
was being made by Heney in'
pursuance of a cor..ijracy Q
which Governor Charr,U.rajn was
an important rnemlr. Smith1
was appointed by Governor Cham-1
berlain to the position of assis
tant warden of the state peniten
tiary, and Bishop Barclay, who
was also a member of that con
spiracy, presided over and intro
duced Governor Chamberlain at
at the governor's meeting at St.
Johns where he opened his cam
paign for United States senator.
In view of the foregoing facts,
the governor's sincerity and hon
esty of purjwse may be severely
questioned. -La Grande Obser

A gigantic production of Pain's
Oi . t:niiW ill lillil
"Carnival at Naples" has been
contracted for as a special night
entertainment for the thousands
of visitors that will be entertain
ed in Portland during the Rose
Festival week.
This enormous production is
being brought direct from Man
hattan Beach, New York, and is
without doubt the largest thea
trical or spectacular attraction
ever brought across the conti
nent to fill one contract, but the
new Portland spirit has taken
such a strong hold ujKin her peo
ple that they are troine to out-do
all previous attempts along the
line of entertaining.
This production shows a most
elaborate fireworks, spectacular

attraction could be secured that
would lend itself so much to the
success of the Rose Festival as
Pain's "Vesuvius," as the per
formances open with a carnival
in progress on the streets of Naples.
After the regular performance
a fireworks ' display costing one
thousand five hundred dollars
will be given, among which will
be some of the most elaborate
set pieces ever constructed.

The Closing Chapter in What Might
Have Been a Well Spent Lile
1 iquor Ihe M.im Cause.
for
and
rton
William Dayton Pradford,
four years deputy shorn!",
four years sheriff of Washin
county, was at his own request
and after examination by Ir.
Tamiesie and the l'.oanl. commit
ted to the asylum 'ior the insane
at Salem, and the cause of it all,
according to his own statement,
is excessive drinking and worry
ing over the act of hanging a
man while s her ill".
Mr. Pradford was up for ex
amination last Monday. Ho gave
his age as (11 years; was born in
New Haven, Conn.; had received
a common school education, and
prevous to his official career was
a sawmill man. He has been
sick and considered a little
"queer" since HKM. when he had
a fit on the street and was con
fined to a room for several weeks,
at the expense of the county,
when it was decided best to seiid
him to the ioor farm, where he
has been a familiar figure since.
"Prad" was known to almost
everybody in the county; had
many friends and few enemies,
the only one of any consopucnee'
being himself. He performed
his work as deputy and sherilf in
a satisfactory manner, but he
went the road that lead.i to sor
row, and the doctor's cittiticate
as to the cause of insanity tells
the whole story. It is as follows:
"Drank pretty hard while sher
iff; wife sick for eight years and
worry after acting as hangman
at the execution of Wachlin in
181)8; worried for six months;
drank to excess; had nervous col
1 1 I 1 !
iap.se and wns in bed ior tuo or
three months and unconscious for
several weeks."
There are many people in this
county who will feel sorry for W.
D. Pradford and the closing act
in his life's history. It all could
have been so different.
To the Voters.
E. I McCormick. Independent
Republican candidate- for county

Bank Tells Ihe siory.
The following letter from the
president of the First National
Bank of McMinnville to the Paci
fic OutlK)k. is of interest as bear
ing upon the saKxm question:
Aly Uoar Sir:-Referring to
your inquiry ot April lltli as to
the effect of local option on the
business interests of this place I
may say that my reply is not
that of a church member nor of
a prohibitionist. I am neither.
In this letter my view is from a
financial standpoint -not moral
or ethical.
Two years ago, when the ques
tion was before our country of
retaining the saloons or of clos
ing them I used my influence and
cast my ballot in favor of the na
tions, believing sincerely that by
so doing the lest interests of the
community in a business way
would be conserved. 1 greatly
regretted the the result of that
election day by which the saloons
were closed. I expected a iH'i iod
of depression and possibly of disaster.
Put ifow, after almost two
years without saltxms my I ears
have not been realized -not in
the slightest degree. The only
interests to sulfer have been the
saloons themselves. All other in
terests have prospered. All the
buildings formerly occupied, by
saloons have now other lines of
business. Every business build
ing vacant two years ago is now
occupied. There is not a vacant
store building on our main busi
ness street. More business is be
ing done than formerly. Credit
is less frequently asked, and
where credit is given there is less
ditiiculty in making collections.
Deposits in our bank have in
creased greatly. The panic last
fall was not seriously felt here.
It is needless to add that mere
ly us a business pi oj nisi lion ii I'm
no better reason, I shall from
now on work and vote just as
heartily to keep out saloons as I
formerly worked to retain them.
Yours very truly.

School closed last Friday at

and though the May pole had to
be placed in the school house out
of the rain, a merry time was
had by teacher, scholars and vis
itors, quite a number of parents
being present. A line dinner
was served, with plenty of ice
cream, un tne wan were speci
mens of the pupils' work and the
blackboards were decorated with

most successful one and it is the
unanimous wish of parents and
pupils that the teacher, lx-e
