WOT" HOOILBJiyi!! 13 1008 5- lj I. ,Vi. 'T 1 ' ' i j'" - A, r JONATHAN BOURNE. Jr. - ' 'p..- . . " '. t' ., ' ' ' Republican Candidate for United States Senator. CHAMPION OF STATEMENT ONE. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., candidate before the Republican primaries for the nomination of United States Senator in Conines, for tlio long term commencing March 4th, 1907, was born in Now Bedford, Man., February 23d, 1855; wait a member of the chits of 1877 at Harvard lTiiivernity j came to Portland May 16th, 1878; was a Republican iiitmibor of the Oregon Legislature in the session of 1885 and the extra tension of 188(1; was one of Oregon's delegates to the Kepublican National Convention of 1888 and Oregon' member of the Kepublican National Committee from 1888 to 1802, and a delegate to the Republican National Con vention of 1892; and was elected as a Mitchell Republican to the Oregon Legisla ture in 1890. Mr. Bourne has been more prominently idnetilied with the development of the mineral resources of Oregon than any other man in the stato, having expen ded in the last twenty years over $1,000,000 of his own money in the acquisition and development of Oregon mines. While Mr. Bourne has had his residence- and main office at Portland since 1878, ho has had another office at New Bedford, Mass., and has carried on the business of his father's estato since 1889, which makes him familiar with many of the large interests and leading men of the East. These qualifications, in con function with his tremendous euergy, origianilty, executive ability and exper ience in business and political affairs pre-eminently qualify him for making an able and influential Senator for the State of Oregon. Mr. Bourne has always favored extending the direct power of the people over their government as fur as possible, lie was one of tho leading spirits in the Initiative and Referendum movement from 1800 until it was approved by the voters at the June election in 1902. In 1904 he was a member of the executive committee of the Direct Primary Nominations League, and holds the same pos ition with the People's Power Leugue at this time. In all these, movements he has been one of tho few to guarantee the necessary expenses of preparing and proposing their measures to the people. de says that the choice of United States Heuator should be by direct vote of the people, and that the Legislature should be compelled to elect the man the people select. To accomplish this renult, he is championing Statement No. 1 of the primary elections law as the only method by which public opinion may be crystallized and made effective upon the legislature. In his petition for nomination he says : "If I am nominated and elected I will, during my term of office, favor: Republican Folitices. Amending National Constitution for People's Election of United States Senators. Publicity Political Campaign Expenses. National Control of Corporations in Interstate Com merce.

It ia Bald thut an anlysis h i been made ot the material from tho dopo. it and that It haa beeu found to Le of excellent quality for tbe purpose intended. V A young man, who waa with party of surveyors employed by the O. K. & N. was taken sick while tbey were working near Tbe Dalles last week and on examination by a physician be was found to have the measles. As no hoHptial is provided there fi r conta gious diseases he was forced to remain in a freight car in tbe railroad yard until quarters were provided for him in a private family. Captain K. W. Spenoer, with char acteristic public spirit bas offered to bead a subscription to be used for building the portage road into the Dalles with a contribution of $500. If we remember aright the amount considered necessary to build tbis much needed road Is $25,000. If tbe rest of tbe wealthy citizens of the county seat could be induced too loosen up In proportion to Captain Spencer's oiler there would bo no question about the building of. tbe portage road. HoxtouA Waltber are about to build a large wsiehoute at Tbe Dalles and tbe Chronicle says In regard to It that it ia characteristic of the Sexton-Wal-tber compin) to "get a move on it self "and Its latest move is to shift the old work shop to tbe east prepara tory to building a fine new warehouse on tbe corner ot Third and Federal. Andrew Velarde will soon have tbe old building out of tho way, when Dash ney, Hill & Sexton, who have tbe con tract, will begin work on a two story stiuoture which will . coat $5000. It will be 75x100 feet In dimension and covered with oorrugated Iron. Mi. Walthei tells us It will resemble the former Mayes & Crowe warehouse which stood on the same ground and was destroyed by fire in 18H9, with the exception of the housekeeping rooms on the second floor. A large elevator will be put in and both floors used as warerooms, as It will require an Immense amount of space In which to store all tbe goods for such a large establishment. Business for tbe new company U In creasing daily, which keeps the entire force bustling. Work on the North Bauk Road in the vicinity of The Dalles Is proceed ing very rapidly aud about three quarters of a mile op the river from there, 200 25-pound kegs of powder were used. At that point where a solid out of 75 feet in length Is being made. Another portion of the work being done by Twohy Bros., where the use of much powder will be re quired, is east of Lyle, where one of tbe longest, if not the longest tuunel on tbe whole line will be located. It will be 300 feet in length and tbe ap proach will require much heavy work. For tbe past two weeks blasting has Iteeu done very near the river, aud tbe impression seems to be that treaties are to be put in along tbe bank diectly opposite the city. Tbis, we are Informed at headquarters, is not tbe case. Tbe roadbed will be filled in solidly. At present Twoby Bro, who have the oonrtact to build fifteen miles, reaching eigh and one half miles be low the city and six and one half miles above, employ about 450 men. As the work progresses the work will Erobably be iuoreaaed So far they nve euoonuteied little difficulty in securing labororers, the greatest trouble being in getting sober meu who will stick to their work aud can be depended ou. Something; About Peanuts. In Virginia they are called peauuts; in North Carolina, ground peas; in South Carollua, Georgia, aud Missis sippi, pinders; lu Alabama, ground nuts, aud in Tennessee, goobers. The preparation of peanuts for the market is an Interesting . operation. They are flist put into an Immense cylinder, from which they enter the brushes, where each nut receives fif teen or sixteen feet of brushing be fore it Itecomes free. After thiuf'leaus ing process, the nuts drop onto an eudless belt, which moves very slow ly. On each side of the belt is a row of girls, whose duty It is to separate the poor nuts from tbe good ones. Those of the nuts which pass go on to tbe next room, where Dior girls await their arrival aud put them in baas, which, when filled are sewed up and properly branded. These are tbe The poorer nuts, which were separ ated by tbe girls at the endhws belt, are all picked over again ; the best are singled out and branded, after beiug put in the saok, a "ships." Tbe ships are not so large nor so fine In appears ace as the No. I, but are just as good for eating purposes. . Tbe third grade of nuts is known as "eagles" aud the oullings that are left from the eagles are bagged and sent to a building where the little meat that Is In them ia extracted by means of a pateut shelter. This "meat" for by this name it is known to the dealers is put up. clean and nice. In 200 pound bags, and shipped for the use of confectioners and manufacturers of peanut candy. There ia also an oil made from some of the nuts, and In this specialty a large trade is done by wholes 'le drug gists. Of the peanut nothing is wast ed, for even tbe shells are made use ful, being put in Immense sacks aud sold to liverymen for horse bedding. And a very comfortable, healthful bed they make.

While engaged In leveling up a lot on Calhoun street east of the school house at Tbe Dalles last week, W. A. Sayer unearthed a human skeleton and later in tbe day found seven more, together with part of the bones of a horse, a gun stock, some wrought iron nails, a large collection of beads, buttons, elk teeth and other relics of the redman. Yesterday four more skeletons were dug up, one of which was that of a ohild. The; were all buried face down, about a foot from tbe surface, and were lying irriegularly about ten feet apart. Most of them had evidently beeu encased in wood and unquestionably were consigned to the earth many years ago. The bones were separated at tbe joints, but close together, so that no difficulty la experieuoed In formiug complete skeletons after removal. Thoy are quite large, ludicating per sons above tbe average in physique, ligb obeek bones, flat or low fore beads and other cian'al and physiog nomloal characteristics, leave no doubt that tbey were Indiana. Perhaps the most valuable as a cur iosity among tbe relics are the but tons, which are made from copper or brass and bear the Latin Inscription ot the Phoenix. They also have tbe number ot some regiment, so it is prolwble that tbey are tbe uniforms of French traders and soldiers. The beads are those worn usually by Indi ans, being made from shells, and the elk teeth are drilled aud so badly dis colored from their long burial that they will probably uot be of much commercial value. Tbe ground where tbis interesting discovery was made U tbe property of A. M. Anderson, who recently pur chased and is Improving it as a matter of speculation. Some of the skeletons were presented to the High School aud Mr. Anderson is havlug tbe elk teeth tested. Notice against tresspass haa been posted to keep out tbe cur ious who oatutally gather at such a scene, many of whom do not hesitate to carry away anything they may ohanoe to come across. Chronicle. Maay Paws Issued. Tbe O. R. & N. company bas made a belated report to the state railway oommitudou of the passes issued by the toad duriug the past fiscal year. Only a part of tbe returns have reaohed the office, the list of clergy man half fare permits aud transporta tion of that klud not beiug included in the form received. Tber are over 100 pagea of forms, with an average of 30 uamea to the page. The annual passes total about 13tX), while tbe trip passes issued to employes and officials of the road, laborers, etc., amount to about three times as many and inoiude probably tea times as many people, as frequently one trip pass is issued for a whole party. His Sterling ltecord. This is a fact that the farmers and struggling owners of Oregon should reflect upon. During the eighteen years that Hou. John H Aitkin has ben at tbe head of two of tbe largest commercial institutions of Oregon aud huudreds of thousands of dollars have passed through his bands, be has never yet foreclosed a mortgage. His bank bad advanced money to needy settlers and the oompany of which he is presi dent bas given tbem liberal credit un til they could improve their little ranches and get solidly on their feet. Many of them have been delinquent in their payments of iuterest and principal: many failed to meet their bills until long after they were due. But to the last ing credit of Mr. Ait kin it can be said that he bas never foreclosed a mortgage nor forced a man into bankruptcy. This is pretty good record when it become a ques tion of voting for such a man for an Important state office. Mr. Aitkin is now a candidate before tbe republican primaries for the important office of treasurer of Oregon. The struggling farmer should carefully consider if it is not a good plan to trust wtth high public office one who bas always roveu so loyal and faithful to his own neighbors.
