The muoiiiM imient in the oiiliiiiins of the above inetitioneil paper tolls how it wad brought about and Rives his views in regard to his canpidacy. It says: Lnt est of the Republican iispltitnta fur tliti United States St-iiatorHhip in Oregon to niiiioiimin his candidacy Is E. L, Smith, of Hood Kiver, who con sented early in tho week to run for that olllco instead of for tho (iovorn orsliip, for which he hits been boomed sevoial months. Mr. Smith's announcement was made a surprise in political circles, for it was supposed he would run for the tioveriioi'ship, if lor any ottlce at all. The Senators-hip huti been his choice all the time, but inauy of his friends insisted on his running for (lovernor, and for a tinio lie yielded to theii wishes to the extent of saying he would do to il siibs't initial assurance should ru. i.e. to l.iai ll'oni the state that he was wanted for a candidate.

Consequently Mr, j Smith is pui'nuini tho nisi) he ex-1 pressed before a group of his friends '; 111 the roi'UUiH i Intel, w l.on lie said lie preferrod to run tor Senator thau for j Governor. Before returi leg to Hood liiver Sat urdHV, Mr. Sir. ith said : "A n mber of the representative men of tha stale, finding that 1 would not become a andidate lor the guber natorial noniin uion, have united iu reipiehling me lo hecotuo a candidate for the nominal ion for United Slates Senator. They profess confidence, in my ability to 1 under the s Hie valuable, service at Washington. "1 have yielded to their wishes so far as to consent to their filing peti tions placing 11. y name on tho nnni. Hutting ballot. 1 have said to them that 1 believe it to bo tiie spirit of the direct primary law Unit nomina tions should come diiett from the people, without undue intluonce. 1 also said that prior to tho primary election I would not initku a canvass uor personally solicit support. My ti ienilH kiitiw ll-i.t 1 have not sought tu n;a'u: luyn 11 a candidate, und that 1 was sloiv lu consent to it. Further con .i'lcriilii.n of my cundl dacy rests with the voters of Oregon. ' Mr. Smith hits been a stanch licpuh lictin since he rust his maiden vole in IHtkJ f,r Abraham Lincoln, lie is one ot the 40 sui viting members of the California legislature t.f lWio 01). On the recommondiition of William II. Hewell ho was appointed Secretary of Washington territory in InCti and sub siuently took part in the dclibciationa of the council of the territory. In IhTU Mr. Smith established his residence at Hood K'vi-i, where he atifl lives. His capacity for business crittini ition soon made itself itintii-tci-t in Ktisti't 11 Oregon und this, to gether e ith Lia) devotion to the inter eats of the coiiin.unity of which lie a as a member, led the Kcpiihlicans ot wasco County, in IHnH, to nominate him by unanimous vote as represents- tivo .111 the State Legislature, lie wai e et tcd and became speaker of the j house in the sei-atou ot lwll.

L. SMITH OF THIS CITY admirer, by announcing; himself an a candidate for U. S. Senator. The first of been a resident of Hood River for thirty years and has been an closely the progress and prosperity of the state as any ninn in it. three yeBrs. A number of meetings were held, principally at Portland, Astoria and Vancouver uid at one of these, United States Senators Oolph aud Mitchell, and Representative Her mann were prosent and individually acknowledged their iudebtedmss to Mr. Smith for his aid iu that enter prise. In national irrigation Mr. Smith has taken a prominent part. He at tended the National Irriagtiou Con gress at Ogdeu, Utah, and at Kl 1'bso, Tex., and was chosen, along with Gov ernor Pardee, of California, Uovjruor Morrison, of Nevada, and Senator Newiands, of Nevada, to make one of the ieplieg to the formal addross of welcome. He whs elected one of the vice presidents-at large and with otbei members of the Oregon delegation se cured tho meeting of the national Ir rigation Congress recently held at Portland. He is a personal friend of l' 11. Newell, chiof of the Uuited States Roclamniation Service, and of Gilford Piuchot, chiof of the Forest Servico. During tho past year Mr. Smith has been commissioner at large and chair man of the Oregon State Hoard of Hot I ictiltttro. He is also president of the Northwest Fruitgrowers' Associa tion. The cause of horticulture iu Oregon has hen advanod by no one more than by Mr. Smith and he has derived no pnouniary benefit himself Irom bis ell'orts iu this direction. This is true also of his splendid ser vice as president of the Oregon State Development League. Mr. Smith was one of the McKiuley Presidential Electors in 18'. Hi, and in the campaign made a speaking tour through the counties of Josephine, Douglas, UniHtilla, Union, Sherman and Wacso, del raying expenses of the trips .largely out of his own pocket. Underctandlng that the spirit of the primal y law contemplates that the people should make the nomination themselves, Mr. Smith has entered into no combination aud has solicited 110 man's support iu advance of the primary election.

From an address by Samuel Sp-ncer bclore the City Board of Trade of . New ark, N. J. "It has la-en claimed from ntauy sources, some high in authority, that the necessfty for expediting decisions in case of complaints to the Interstate Commerce Commission, constitutes one 1 f the chief reasons for additional leg islation granting to the Commission the power to revise and name rates and innke them effective, prior to review by court. This view is founded apparently upon lack of information as to where de lays have ocrured or a misapprehension aa to their causes. lie chief delays complained of have been undoubtedly with the Commission and not with the courts The Coiimiis. sion tin a presented to it in eighteen years about 4,000 complaints, many re iiirirg prolonged investigations and hearings, and in addition to the time consumed thereby much additional time must have been requ red to dis pose of the 3,200 complaints In whicn there were no lornial hearings and no record, lu tbe same period United States courts, with twenty-niuie Circuit Judges and seventy-eight District Judges, have been required to review but fourty-tjve cases. "Tne Commission has rendered two hundred and nineiy-Beven formal de cisions. The Unhed States courts have llnally decided thirty-four. T e Commission ban pending before it In the neigh boorhood of seventy cases, and the courts had pending at the date of the Commission's Inst report, five cases for the enforcement of the Commission's orders. It has never been claimed that the Interstate Commerce Commission has not been fully employed. It can't be claimed from this record that the court dockets have been clogged by cases arising under the Interstate Com merce Act. "It is not difficult from this to draw fairly accurate conclusions as to where delays are likely to have occiirrrd, or is to what would be the result in point of delay if power should be granted to the Coin mission to prescribe and make effective future rates even upon com plaint and bearing only." Xew Machinery for the ol I Bun. S. H. Cox returned from Portland last week, where he repoits that tbe Gold Kun Mining Co. have purchased X) worth of machinery for their mine near Cape Horn, and are busy installing it The machinery consists of air copmresHor, drills, etc. Tbe water power at tbe mine a sufficient for all the power that they will want for some time, and considerable ma chinery can be added without look ing elsewhere for power. This is a big item, and will belp to swell the dividends. The day before tbe stock was in creased to '25 cents per share, Mr. Cox sold over 11100 worth, which gave tbe company sufficient money to pay for the new improvements. "1
