Horo aro two news Items, tho first Crom Washington, as follows: "Following practical requisition ing of wool looms by tho quarter master general last week, fixed prices on wool oods aro looked on as neces sary If civilians aro to bo protected from speculators In tho wool left after army noeds arc mot." And tho second from Portland, be ing an extract from a telegram from Robert N. Stonficld, candidate for Republican nomination for United States senator, as follows: "I havo In storage at Columbia Basin Wool Warehouse Company, North Portland, Oregon, approxi mately 1,000,000 pounds (of wool) which is being hold for my account. I had stored with this company dur ing past season approximately 6, 000,000 pounds." That sounds like speculation and just why tho candidato should boast of It is moro than wo can under stand. Unless, of course, he wished to establish his standing as a busi ness man, n'cnv said to bo so neces sary In Congress. But that was shown thoroughly when ho offered all this wool to tho government "at today's market prices." Business as usual, we should say. Fifteen Years Ago This Week Arlo C.

Tho peoplo in this vicinity who havo been patronizing tho Deschutes postofflco ought to comblno and make a large-sized registered kick which will bo felt In Washington and try to induco the postal authorities to institute a money order offlco here.

Tho "smallpox'' cases at Staats havo becomo convalescent. Thero seems to bo some doubt as to what tho complaint Is. It appears to be a sort of German measles and has grip like symptons. However, as It lasts but a day or two it cannot inflict any damage, and so it cannot bo regarded as dangerous or even serious. Mat Kielne, Steidl & Reed's mill construction foreman, left on Sun day on a six weeks' visit to his old home In Minnesota. It is perhaps of interest to tho reader to announce that it is rumored hero perssltently that ho will not return to Bend alono. LOAN COMMITTEE RETURNS FROM TRIP (From Monday's Dally.)

Ho etntos that tho sun Is shining on his can didacy and ho waxes fervid over the outlook. Walter has a platform that fairly bristles with patriotism and it is on ay to oplno what tho trend of his campaign will bo. Ho expects to swallow Starkweather In ono pri mary gulp, and ho will then bo fortl nod to meet any of the lads that tho Republicans trot out Into tho arena to tnco him. Ho says ho can tnko any of them to tho mat, Marquis of Quoensbury rulos, hard gloves or bare fists ho enrcs not which. At tho candidates' gabfest horo tho other day, Moscr stated that Simpson was oating up Olcott, fairly biting chunks out of Wlthycombe's support. but regardless of this ho considered Simpson fourth in tho raco. "My strength in Multnomah coun ty," ho stated, "Is a fixed strength." And ho went on to explain that, like Antcas of old, who doubled up his strength ovory tlnio somo bruiser pushed him in tho nono and toppled him to old 'Mother Earth, that with each election his Multnomah county strength grow by leaps and bounds, and that his old strength not only remained, but ho adds to It. This, ho says, will bo tho result at tho Ma)' primary. Gun Is All Optimism. For optimism Gus has tho Berlin war offlco reports beat a mllo. Olcott states that tho situation throughout tho stato looks 100 per cent, better than It has at any time during any campaign ho has gono through, and ho has bocn through a number.

West's entrance Into the senatorial raco has caused n lot of speculation. At first it was believed he would hurt McXary's chances, but with his ex planation that his entrance Is a pa triotic move, many feel that pos sibly It will bolster up tho McNary cause On the other hand, It is doubtful If It will hurt Stauflold to any great oxtont, but If Stanfleld ami West aro nominated, West Is liable' we4 ; l& I 5 K Ml ffrf&k mMWmxBtm u BlPVPiiP VtTjj 8 t ill W HI Hi Hi in v ' '" HI HI r&V OHM XiWuyt&mMmNmvnniKK Producing More Time For You READY-MADE clothes have provid ed hundreds of hours of extra time for the men of this country.

Ho tins u wonderful following nnil ho Is n tre mendous factor to bo reckoned with, Thin Republican loaders themselves admit mid much nf tho conversation about the cnpltol corridors has been along tlio lino of what effect West's candidacy will htwo on tho sena torial situation. West's statement thnt It Is no t Into for men of wealth to enter political campaigns to secure ofllce, moFely because they crave tho Job, Is taken to menu that ho would like to sen McNary nominated. It ho really moans this, and stands pat on It, dopostors hero see this ns a bid tor West's Republican friends to stand with McNary and put htm over and nlso an Intimation that West might not mako n hnrd light against Mc Nary If both of thorn woro nominated. Stauflold's friends declaro that West's ontrnnco Into tho raco assures Stanfleld's nomination, hut snmo of thotu uro not so enthusiastic about pitting Stnullold against West In tho genera! election. Don't Know Moulting Behind Move. Whatever tho real meaning behind West's move is, no ono apparently has lilt it horo, at this writing. And It has not bocn because thoy have not speculated about it, as spoculnt lug about West Is now tho groat llttlo gnnio at tho capltol, Tlio re are enough angles in It to give tho shrewdest llttlo hyena who over prowled about political graveyards a series of headaches. In fact, them Isn't much satisfaction In guessing about what West Is going to do. Whenever you havo It all guessed ho promptly does something else so, what's tho U8o? From this point of view tho best guess Is to wait and sue If you would avoid an actio in tho cephalic regions. Miller Huh iiii Opximit. At tho last moment, Frank J. Miller, chairman of tho public serv ice commission, was given a painful surprise, when Fred A. Williams of Grants Pass Jumped Into tho raco ns Miller's opponent on tho platform that "a C-cent faro is too much for a C-cont rido." Not knowing Mr. Williams, thoro Is no Immodlato wny of doping out his program, but from long dlstanco It might bo said ho figures Portland Is redhot on tho 6-ccut faro proposition and ho can run strong there, and being from Southern Oregon ho hopes to scoop up a pailful of votes thoro. Ho will then try to convince the balance of tho peoplo of Western Oregon and tho voters of Eastern Oregon that ho should bo given nt least nn oven break in those communities, It sounds well on paper.

Bruco acted ns tho Moham med In tho groat hlgora from tho Re publican party and ho still reckons his time from tho dato of tho organi zation of tho Bull Moose party. Ho has bcon a wandering lamb nnd is now returning to tho fold and would llko to bo cuddled in tlio arms of tho Grand Old Pnrty again as its na tional committeeman, Tho political sins of Bruco aro so fresh In tho minds of many that tho good old rock rlbbod Republicans may glance uskanco at his candidacy, Bui ho has succeodod In making money out of tho nowspapor business, which In dicates ho Is n man of extraordinary financial ublllty.

Judgo Kelly used to havo Yamhill, Polk and Tillamook coun ties tied up to his present Judicial district of Linn and Marlon, so that tho apparent udvantago which Judgo Coko has In hlu presont grist of counties dwindles away somowhat, Tho counties whoro Judgo Kelly ,1s aco high aro also much moro thickly populated than thoso covered by Judgo Coko, Tho raco is generally considered as lying botwoon tho two presont circuit Judges with Cha'rloy Johns a sad third, but as somo sago kJ Gardens are one thing that will sure help win the war.

However, Charley Is pin ning his faith on Multnomah county. There are 37 counties In tho state. Tho Double O on tho roulette wheel stands ono chnnco In 37 of being hit "straight up."
