GREAT GUNSI
Five year ago Banker Furnish was a
Democrat There are scores of Repub
licans In Umatilla County who for ID
years were kept busy trying to prevent
the Democrats, beaded 'by Furnish, from
getting and keeping control of that
county. Furnish was always the leading
man, the "organiser" whose efforts they
were compelled to overcome. Now, these
same Republicans are forced to step to
the rear and see this same man placed
at the head of their party. Why?
Because he has money. - If he were
poor man there is not paper in Ore
gon, not even the Oregonian, that will
say he would have been thought of for
this great office. If he bad been a farmer
living 10 miles from . Pendleton, worth
13000. but with the same ability (T he
has, who would have picked up Furnish
to place him at the head of a great party
in a great state? Tike worst part of this
statement Is that It Is true.
If he .had been a poor farmer living 10
miles from Pendleton, Instead of a rich
banker, how many of the '.'affiliated
gang" whloh for "SO years has always
been unscrupulous and always corrupt,"
wouio navs naa any use ior him a a
"leading Republican,"
Tb Oregonian may not deign to answer
this query, but it Is one the farmers and
business men of the Republican party
are asking. The farmer who, by univer
sal consent, save that of the "exoluslve
ring," has made a tnost excellent Gover
nor, and who has tiooe more for the
party in past year than Furlnlsh could
do In a life time, i was notified by the
"afflcllaed gang of Federal officeholders"
that his service are ne longer wanted.
Instead of the stalwart blows he ha
always given in every campaign for his
party and country, we see the spectacle
of Banker Furnish' . puling efforts to
"stump the state," under, the kinder
garten tutelage of Fulton. ,
It will be a cold day When Mr. Furnish
Is Invited to the great State of Ohio
to take the stump with the leading men
of the Nation.. But then, what wa want
is an "organiser," although something is
liable to drop when the farmer of the
state express their opinion of this kind
of business, They are not to be fooled
by the cry that the Philippines will be
lost unless Bill Furnish Is made Gover
nor ot Oregon. -

' NEW ; YORIC May M.-"Delightful,
whick,ls used nowadays to describe al
most everything. Is Inadequate to ex
press" Ike loveliness of summer fashions,'
Indeed, no one word Is sufficiently force
ful to emphasise the grace, beauty and
luxury of the neweat Of the season's
gowna . ,
A far as the materials are concerned,
there is no limit mark, for everything
that Is soft and flexible is fashionable,
and manufacturers are careful to" place
nothing on the market which does not
mast these requirement. For mid-season
' wear, lintna lawns, crashes, mulls,
piques and batistes, followed by 'sheerer
and more expensive fabrics for formal
functions, are some of the materials
which will be made up most effectively.
Among the most cherished types are
white dressea developed in cloth and
silk, erepe de chine. Tney are made up
on clinging lines, with little or no full
ness about the hips, the flare obtaining
below the knees, where It la decided and
sweeping. " -
The popularity of whlto dresses Is em
phasised this year because their favor is
considered In the light of triumph for
the modistes who have been trying for
the past few years to revive the fash
Ion. After all, there Is nothing daintier
or more effective, even for the corpulent
sisterhood, for white gown may be de
veloped upon lines suited to all figures,
concealing any physical Imperfection
that on may have.
Then there is the question of renova
tion to be considered. Never Is It more
easily accomplished than in white
dresses. A little bensine applied with a
sponge will remove finger marks and the
lighter stains, and one finds this so much
better than the tinted gown, no matter
how pals the color, after it has been re
turned by the cleaner.
For summer evenings, the thin gown,
which suggest moonlight and fragrant
conservatories, even fairyland Itself, Is
indispensable and no more effectively can
it be carried out than in organdie. TJj
new organdies are so crisp and fresh
that one can not help admiring them.
Sometimes there are traceries of trailing
vines bearing delicately colored Sowers,
but even in these there 1 more, of the
spotless white background visible than
the pattern which decoratates It."
. Something not so expensive, yet - ex
ceedingly, cblc . is aa. organdie frock over
a foundation, of 'organdie; or, : if one
wishes to .economise more yet, coarse
lawn. , The ornamentation is gained
through the use of vaiencienes lace in
sertion, which Is set on id parallel bands
on the waist, sleeves and skirt. .The
skirt is gored very light at the top and
full at the bottom, and there Is a high
girdle of white panne ribbon.
Separate blouses of white organdie for
handsome skirts of taffeta and open
worked fabrics are dainty in the extreme.
These are made upon fitted linings of
either silk or organdie. A new and pop
ular method Of construction Is to lay the
organdie In box plaits, which are appll
aued upon the bodice slantwise until they
widen across the bust and shoulders Into
the prevailing Gibson effect. The plaits
are in turn trimmed with irregular
lengthed strips of insertion and tiny
pearl buttons, or oftentimes they are
stitched on either edge with piping of
whit peau de sole, a treatment which is
both novel and dressy.
As the season advances, one Is Im
pressed With the number of Innovations
introduced in sleeves for diaphaneous
gowna., Of course, there are all classes
and conditions of the elbow sleeve, and
Dame Fashion has now turned her at
tention to cuffs, of which there are also
many varieties, in many of the latest
designs the plain bands which' have hith
erto held in place the generous-sized un
dercuts are fancifully scalloped, and fre
quently they give place to the pointed
cuff, sometimes extending over the hand,
sometimes turning back.
Next to all-white bodices come the
dainty creations in ecru bastlse and silk
linen. These were never more beautiful
than this year, trimmed as tney are in
white Insertions alternated with tucks,
varying In width from half an inch to
three inches, in the latter case tour to
six tucks being what the front of a bod
Ice requires. The Insertion may be put
on horiaontally, diagonally or vertically,
but in either design the effect Is pleasing
and modish. More elaborate designs have
the Insertions running across each other
forming lardlamons or outlining squares
which are treated with applied tucks.
One of the most delightful ways of
making g summer gown is to lay it all
over In pin tucks. The ultra-fashionable
distance apart Is two inches. A skirt
which is treated In this way Js of silk
crepe de chine and has abouC the bot
tom an applique, of grayish white Ir
ish lace. There Is a bolero Jacket ef
fect of the same lace, and lace puffs , at
the elbow of the sleeve. A soft girdle
of panne velvet encircles, the waist and
at 4he left side It 1 pulled through the
lace pf th Jacket and tied In a bis;,' loose
bow.
Summer hats have a French air and
appearance that savor of the "genuine
article," as ths substltue dealers say. If
there is. less of brim and more of crown
the two are so skillfully .blended that
one. scarcely knows 'the difference, for
the former is wide, gracefully curving in
to the latter, fashioned from lace over
tulle, while a . drapery of the same airy
fabric is drawn around the brim and tied
at the back in a many looped bow. The
bow is fastened by a glittering buckle.
For the further trimming of both crown
and brim- there are narrow bordering
of satiny black straw so frayed out and
slightly curled as to suggest an ostrich
feather edging, while a long ostrich
feather curves its soft length at the left
slda Under the up-aweep of ; the brim
come a smart bow of white tulle, whose
nearness to the face proves extremely
becoming!

AS TO PARROTS.
There seems no limit to the capacity
for acquiring the human language pos
sessed by this intelligent bird. - It often
picks up not only words, but long sen
tences which have been pronounced In Its
presence on a single occasion only; while,
as for domestic sounds of all kinds, from
the whimpering of an Infant to thai crow
ing of cocks, and even the song of a
canary bird, all these are readily acquir
ed. The ' male le. however, given to
screaming when angry or agitated. It
sometimes associates words with things
One owned by Mr, Greene would yell
"Potato!" If it saw luncheon laid, so
loudly that it could never be admitted to
that meal, for it always dropped the po
tato and shouted for more.
There Is an idea that the brilliantly
colored parrot do not talk. There Is no
reason why they should not, and many
possess the imitative Instinct, One of the
most richly colored ot all Is the purpl
capped lory, from the Moluccas. Its
whole body is crimson and rose. It
is a thickset bird, like, a bullfinch, and
can be highly educated. ' It is tame and
gentle, and an excellent "linguist" and
mimic, never shrieks, and Is very 'amia
ble. It Is also a ventriloquist. It Is worth
more than some of the lories, which
are very fond of flowersv have been
poisoned by being given laburnum blos
som. There Is a belief that parrots should
not be allowed water to drink1, but only
sopped food. We believe this Is a mistake
which causes them great misery. They
are not great water drinkers, and some
species can go without It for a consider
able time. But In their native State most
of those which have been observed come
regularly to the water holes to drink.

THE BAKER.
In Mlxsoura, as put on at the Baker
last night by the Ralph Stuart company,"
scored a distinct hit A good-sited houss
witnessed this, the Initial evening pre
sentation, and enjoyed many a hearty,
laugh as the ldlosyncracles of the South
ern character were revealed In the well
conceived action of the play. The hon
est bluntness, the tender, though un
couth chivalry of Jim Redburn, the Demt
ocratla Sheriff of Pike County, "Mlxsou
ra." awakened many a thrill of admira
tion,,, while the gawky action of Lii-
btn : and her rustic adorer, Dave, fur
nish food of endless merriment. .. ,
While the work of tu whole company
1 excellent, the results achieved by Miss
Catherine Countisa a 'Lisbeth are prob
ably the feature of the play. Though
her lines are limited, the manner in
which the part Is handled could hardly
be Improved upon, a was attested by the
generous appreciation of , the audience,
which time and time again applauded
her efforts most heartily.
Of Ralph Stuart's work there is but
little to say. tie is a thoroughly pol
ished actor, who lives his part, and it

Jefferson as an Inventor.
Not many people know that Thomas
Jefferson' was a great inventor, His in
ventions were all of article of everyrday
use. He devised a three-legged folding
campstool that Is the basis of all camp
stools of that kind today; The stool he
had made for his own us wa hi con
stant companion oBHSacaslons of outings.
The revolving chair was his invention.
He designed a light wagon. A copying
press was devised by him and came into
general use. He also Invented an in
strument for 'measuring the distance he
walked. A plow and hemp oultlvator
showed that his thoughts were often on
agricultural matters. His plow received
a gold medal In France In 1790. Jeffer
son never benefited, financially by hi in
ventions, but believed the should be for
the use of every one without cost. .
