TAXPAYERS KIND
TO MMMBERUIN
His Salary As Office' Holder
Exceeds $100,000 Asked
"How Was It Spent?"
Since R. A. Booth, Republican can
didate for United State Senator, an
swered the question, "Where did 70a
get It?" Republican papers have raised
the question for George EL Chamber
lain, the Democratic nominee to an
swer, "How did you spend H?" Some
Industrious digger has compiled the
list of public offices Chamberlain has
held since coming to Oregon from
MlBBibulppI and calculates that Cham
berlain has drawn down more than
$100,000 In money contributed by tax
payers. It Is how Chamberlain spent
this money that Republicans are
curious.
One newspaper editor recounts that
Chamberlain has been Attorney-General,
Dltitrlct Attorney, Governor and
United States Senator, holding some
of these offices more than one term,
and that Chamberlain since entering
public life has scarcely ever been off
the payroll, as he entered upon a new
job before the old one was worn out.
In his explanation of "where he got
It," Booth told the story of his life.
Democrats say that Booth Is an aris
tocrat and does not belong to the plain
people. Booth's own narrative re
counts how he was one of a family
of 12 children; that he lived In a log
cabin, worked on a farm and took
his pay In chickens; punched cattle,
herded sheep and otherwise helped
support the family until he was 21
years old and paid for his first "store
clothes" by gathering wool from
biiHhes and taking the hides from
Hheep which died on the range. He
struggled hard for an education and
acquired It. He was a day laborer,
and day laborers are supposed to be
plain people. By Industry he met
with success and associated with oth
ers he built up a sawmill industry
which developed the timber resources
of Interior Oregon.
. 1 Ay. iA s
i w; y
R. A. BOOTH
Booth's statement Included the dec
laration that at times the sawmill he
, nmnuKcd employed 1300 men and the
payroll exceeded $80,000 a month. The
concern brought Into Oregon more
than $10,0110,000 of outside money and
farmers, merchants, lnborers and en
tire communities received the major
purl of this sum, directly or Indi
rectly. The Republicans point out
that nooth's rise from a farm baud
and day lnhorer Is to his credit and
that hundreds of other Oregon boys
are developing the same way. They
also point out that the Industry which
Booth's efforts built, up brought Into
the state more money than the Oov
ernmont ha appropriated for river
and harbor improvements In Oregon
since the state was udmttted to the
Union.
During the period that Booth wbs
turning timber into a stream of gold
which was flowing through Interior
Oregon, spreading prosperity to work
ers and merchants, the Republicans
, declare that Chamberlain was draw-
' Ing a salary from tax funds as an
office-holder. Having been born In
Oregon and lived here all his life,
'; Booth's supporters contend that he
knows Its people nnd the needs of
the state ns well as any man can and,
hnving made good, whether as a far
mer, cowboy, sheepherder, bookkeep
er or sawmill man, he can make good
in the Sena to.
The Impression that Booth is a mil
lionaire has been gained because of
the great commercial enterprise which
he caused to grow from almost noth
ing and because of the large contri
butions he has given to educational
. hud other betterment works. Booth
confesses that he never was a mil
lionaire and that his holdings In the
business he managed was very small;
In fact, it is nbout 3 per cent, or
$65.000.,
Insistently, some of the Republican
papers declare that It, Is as important
in judging 'he fitness of a man for
office to know how he spends hiB
money ns It is to know where he gets
it. They point to the large donations
made by Booth to show where he has
been spending his money for the ben
eflt of the commonwealth, aud they
koep asking Chamberlaiu, "Where did
you spend 117"

CHAMBERLAIN NOT
PRIMARY FRIEND
C. E. S. Wood Reviews Sena
tor's Record Recalls Re
fusal to Help Bryan.
With a long memory, Coloael C. L.
8. Wood has been telling the voters
In Portland tb history of George E.
Chamberlain regarding popular laws
and Issues. Colonel Wood bas been
unsparing of Chamberlain's political
record and night after night be bas
been declaring Chamberlain a double
dealer, who wants to agre with peo
ple on both sides of every question
and who holds no opinion other than
that of perpetuating Chamberlain In
office.
In 1903, Wood and T. T. Geer were
candidates for the popular vote for
United States Senator. In that cam
paign Wood says he wanted to make
an active fight, but that Chamberlain,
fearing Wood might Jeopardise Cham
berlain's chances for election as Gov
ernor, Insisted that . Wood remain
quiet. As Ueer received the popular
vote, Wood wrote the Democratic
members of the Legislature asking
them to support Geer for Senator.
When these Democrats asked Cham
berlain for advice he told them to
leave the Republicans fight it out
without Democratic help. Thla atti
tude on the part of Chamberlain, as
serts Colonel Wood, was In direct
conflict with the spirit and principle
of the primary.
Again, says Colonel Wood, Cham
berlain himself wrote to A, D. Still
man, of Umatilla, recommending that
the Democrats bold an assembly to
make nominations. Later when the
Republicans held an assembly h"y
were assailed by the Chamberlain
newspapers and charged with trying
to undermine the direct primary and
return to machine methods.
In his campaigns for Governor,
Chamberlain, says Wood, argued that
the Legislature and Governor should
be of opposite -political parties. Cham
berlain now argues that Congress
should be of the same political com
plexion as the President.
When nominated for Senator as a
Democrat In 1908, Chamberlain posed
as a non-partisan, declares Colonel
Wood, knowing that only with Repub
lican votes he could be elected. At
that time Roosevelt was Immensely
popular In Oregon and Chamberlain
announced that he was a Roosevelt
Democrat, In December, 1908, Roose
velt met Chamberlain In the Kast and
greeted him as Senator to-be. When
Roosevelt bolted the Republican ticket
and much of his popularity waned,
Chamberlain attacked Roosevelt, al
though the latter, when President, had
gone as far as he could to bring about
Chamberlain's election by a Republic
an Legislature,
In the campaign of 1908, continues
Colonel Wood, Chamberlain refused to
attend the Bryan rally in Portland
and again absented himself from
Portland when Judge Alton B. Parker
came to speak for Bryan. Chamber
lain was afraid that his plea of non
partisanship would not hold good if he
was present at these Democratic ral
lies for Bryan.
Colonel Wood has stigmatized
Chamberlain as selfish, as a man
whose sole desire Is to look after him
self. He calls attention to the Cham
berlain cards displayed In this cam
paign whereon there Is no hint of any
party designation.
Somewhat similar talks are being
made by T. T, Geer, ex-Governor, who
is also reviewing the political changes
which Chamberlain has assumed In
his office seeking career. Colonel
Wood Is Interested In defeating Cham
berlain because Wood does not con
sider Chamberlain a Democrat. Geer
says Chamberlain Is not a Republican,
but Is "a man of pretense."
Old Soldiers Admire Booth.
Grant Dimlck, manager of R. A.
Booth, Republican nominee for United
States Senator, has received the fol
lowing communication:
Newberg, Sept, 24, 1914.
I am one of many members of Shi
loh PoBt No. 77, G. A. R who received
a letter commending Hon. George
Chamberlain as a friend of old sol
diers. Have heard a number of the
boys express themselves In regard to
the letter as a huge Joke. It will be
some time before old soldiers look to
Mississippi Democrats as special
friends.
To me the letter Is a source of both
pleasure and Indignation; pleasure
that It Is an assurance they feel the
need of every vote they can possibly
get; Indignation that I Bhould be re
garded as so devoid of sense as to be
caught by such trash.
There are about. GO members of Shi
loh Post and I know of but one Cham
berlain man among them. There may
be two or three others, but 1 do not
know them.
As regards myself there can be no
better man for Senator than Mr.
Booth. I have known him for over
SO years with Increasing respect and
admiration for him.

Pnst Post Commander of Shlloh
Post No. 77, Department of Oregon,
G. A, R.
Students Grateful to Booth.
Student loan funds, established to
assist needy students through college,
have long had the attention of R. A.
Booth, Republican candidate for Sen
ator. Having had a hard struggle to
earn his own education, Booth has en
deavored to make the path a little
more smooth for young men and wo
fren who sre In the fwme position.
OREGON DEPRIVED
QFJTSKIUJONS
Loss of Reclamation Fund
Share Greater Than River
Appropriations.
Ortgon's share of the reclamation
fund baa been lost by Senator Cham
berlain, or at least be permitted other
Senators to "Blip on over" on him.
Oregon, In round number, has con
tributed $10,000,000 to the fund, more
than any other state, and Its allotment
waa $4,000,000, none of which ha seen
paid over.
What Oregon has been deprived of
through the Inaction of It Seas tors
amount to far more than the total
of the appropriation received for
river and harbor improvements, and
Senator Chamberlain's friend assert
that be 1 entitled to all the credit
for all tbe appropriation. They do
not, however, discus the los of the
reclamation fund, which, through the
repeal of 8ection 9 deprived Oregon
of millions of dollar.
To personal and Intimate friends
Senator Cbamberlaln afterward said
that he never understod how the trick
was turned by the Senator who engl
neered the deal. He wa either at
hi desk, otherwise engaged, or not
In the Senate chamber.
The fact remain that Oregon ha
contributed more to the reclamation
fund than any other state and 1 not
receiving a square deal. It I the
state that haa contributed more and
leceived less. Had Chamberlain been
"at his post of duty" and Oregon per
mitted the use of tbe $10,000,000 it
contributed, this sura would have
given tbe itate reclamation project
second to none in the country.
Stress Is laid on the appropriation
for rivers and harbors, but the los
of the reclamation money Is greater
than the other government appropria
tions. In his campaign in 1908, when
a candidate for Senator as a non-partisan,
Chamberlain spoke at Vale and
elsewhere that If elected be would
give hi undivided attention to the
mission of securing for Oregon It
rightful share of the reclamation
fund.
GEORGE SELFISH, IS CHARGE
Old-Tim Democrat Ar Lukewarm
Toward Chamberlain This Year.
It I an open secret In Democratic
circles that In this campaign the party
Is lukewarm toward George E. Cham
berlain's candidacy, whereas for th
first time In yean the Republican
party is united on a candidate for
United States Senator. Old time
Democrats, who have for year
worked enthusiastically for Chamber
lain each time he ha been a candi
date now regard him with apathy.
The Democrat who hav 'been de
voting time and money for years to
the cause are letting It be known that
they regard Chamberlain as selfish.
They recall how he failed to recipro
cate. When he was a candidate, all
other nominees on the Democratic
ticket had to be ignored for fear
Chamberlain's chances might be In
jured. So far a the public was aware
Chamberlain was the only man run
ning on the Democratic ticket.
Finally when Chamberlain wa In
position to reward the old friends by
giving them Federal appointments,
which he was In position to do as the
senior Senator, he turned a deaf ear
to their applications and permitted
his Junior colleague, Senator Harry
Lune, to fill the Federal pie counter
with Lane's personal friends, who
were not the Democrats who had de
voted years to electing Chamberlain
to office. In this manner Chamber
lain lost supporters In every county
In the state, and these supporters wore
mainly the men who have been re
sponsible for his past victories.
Thus Chamberlain Is entering the
hardest campaign of his career with
dissatisfaction In the Democratic
ranks, brought on, declare the old
timers, by his own selfishness, and
confronted by a united Republican
party behind Booth, Republican can
date for United States Senator. And
as If these things were not sufficiently
serious, there Is a feeling of dissatis
faction with business conditions, the
depression of the times, little work
and low wages, and a feeling that the
way to bring prosperity back Is to vote
the Republican ticket straight, start
ing with Booth and ending with the
last name.
Mulkey and Bourne For Booth.
Colonel RooBevelf manager In Ore
gon In the last Presidential campaign,
Frederick W. Mulkey, has announced
his support of R. A. Booth, Republican
candidate for United States Senator.
Mulkey decided the Progressive party
was dead In Oregon, and, anyway, the
candidate on the Progressive ticket
for Senator ia an ex-Democrat, an ex
Republican and bitterly opposed
Roosevelt In the Presidential cam
paign when the Colonel was the head
of the Progressive party. Before turn
ing Progressive, Mulkey was one of
the leading Republicans of Oregon.
Equally interesting is the fact that
Jonathan Bourne, another ardent ad
mirer of Roosevelt, and who has been
at outs with Oregon Republican lead
ers for years. Is backing the entire
ticket, has contributed $500 to the Re
publican state campaign fund and Is
personally supporting Booth. Cham
berlain's friends had confidently ex
pected Bourne to help their candidate,
but Bourue has written a letter lay
ing the blame for dull times at the
ROGERS A BOOSTER ,
FOR SCENIC ASSETS
- (Tbe following article, accompanied
by photographs of scenic point on
Mount Hood and a picture of Homer A.
Roger, was recently written by Claud
L. Simpson for the Portland Journal).
A young pioneer of Mount Hood re
cently came down from bi mountain
homo to recall to the people of Port
land th real scenic grandeur of tbe
lordly peak.
Poet have long sung of the majesty
of this white robed sentinel of tbe
west; artists hsv sketched it frown
ing crag sr.d yawning canyon. But
pen and brush have only conveyed a
fleeting picture of the matchless pano
rama of snow and ice, verdant woods
and tinging streams of that favored
spot, lay this ardent son of nature.
He wants the whol world to know
and feel at he doesthat here, within
easy reach of rsil and motor is one of
the most sublime and inepiringretreat
on esrth.
He would impress upon the minds of
tourist thst the Old World holds no
beau tie thst cannot be duplicated at
the very door of "Portland. N
21 He would have? the people ofj'all
clime come and view with him the
endless variety of natural attraction
that please the eye and stimulate the
imagination.
He would extend welcome hand to
tired city folk to come and rest be
neath stately firs.
He would hasten the day when a
great public highway will have been
built from Portland to the base of the
mountain a thoroughfare that would
rival tbe Appian Way. He would see
the fame of the Monarch of the Cas
cade carried to every part of the
world.
Homer A. Rogers, boniface and
guide, is the man.
Mine host, Mr. Rogers, has already
gained an enviable reputation. Hun
dreds of tourists hav found welcome
under the hospitable roof of hi sylvan
inn. He is proprietor of the Mount
Hood Lodge, and his abode, winter and
summer, is among the fir clad hills at
tbe base of the towering peak. The
lodge is 2800 feet above the level of
the sea.
The outlook from this unique lodge is
unsurpassed. Rising above are the
snowy elopes of Mount Hood, and in
the distance loomsjthe mystic beauty
of Mount Adams, Mount Rainier and
Mount St. Helens.- Here this doughty
trail blazer has made his home. The
selection ofthis favored place was
made after an extended travel to most
of the scenic sections of the earth.
Here, surrounded by his wife and three
yeai old daughter, Sally Ann, and the
guests who happen to be under his
care, Mr. Rogers is happy and content
to remain.
"1 have covered a great part of the
globe and scaled mountain peaks as
traveler and guide; I have spent five
years in the Alps and have seen' the
wonderful gorge of the Yangtse, but
nowhere have I found the realization
of the ideal as I have right here beside
this silent mountain," said Mr. Rogers.
"I left Ysle imbued with a burning
desire to see nature's splendors. 1 have
found them in Oregon, and will roam
no more. Where can you duplicate the
gorge of the Columbia? Where cast
eyes on another peak like Mount Hood?
Here, in the midst of phalanxed firs 1
can sit and look out of my window at
winter time on fantastic Bhnpes of
snow laden trees; I can cutch the first
warm ray of the morning sun, and I
can behold the swinging orb quench its
rays in the heaving ocean. Crags and
canyons lure me with their varying
tints and the glacial formations and
deep crevases each seems to whisper
strange tales of mysteries of centuries
agone.
"What sleep more refreshing than
beneath the evergreen bough of fir,
spruce and hemlock? What perfume
more delightful than that cast to the
winds by every summer breeze that
blows? When I tire of books, and
thoughts of the best authors no longer
interest me 1 am free to sally forth to
commune with nature and study the
lessons of rock and cave and stream.
"Then, when I would.put aside my
musings and reek some real strenuous
exercise 1 go skiing. What an exhilar
ating sport, a sport that has edified
hundreds in these retreats since the
people really began to appreciate what
was in store for them here. And don't
forget the log tire. Here, before ithe
great open fireplace, I spend many a
cozy evening safe from winter's
storms."
The forest ranger's trails which wind
about the heavily wooded .sections are
declared to be superb, in themselves.
Ihese paths are slashed eight feet
wide. They swing and dip and leap
over hill and valley, passing canyons,
denae undergrowth and inspiring wa
terfalls. These trails are traveled ex
tensively by tourists, and Mr. Rogers
declares that herseback riding over
these paths ia one of the pleasures of
an outing at Mount Hood. The Long
Prairie and Brooks Meadows trips by
horseback cover a distance of 28 miles
and the view along the entire route is
constantly unfolding new attractions.
"Portland must awake from her
slumber and capitalizo these unparal
leled scenic wotWers.'V. declares Mr.
Rogers. "A commendable start has
already been begun. The new Colum
bia highway is destined to be one of
the most justly famous driveways in
the entire world. The proposed high
way from Portland to Mount Hood
would redound to the everlasting credit
of Oregon."
JOHN CUNNING TELLS
OF THE SALEM TRIP
October 13, 1914.
Editor Glacier: On Monday, Sept.
29, Irwin Bowerman and 1 were sup
posed to go on the 9.zU train, but the

the Hood River vinegar factory. We
left Hood River at 5.20. We got in
Portland about 8 o'clock. Irwin and 1
left Portland a little after 8 o'clock
and got in Salem about 11 o'clock that
right. The militia men took us to our
tent. In the morning they took us over
to the stock barns and there showed us

certain v bad some tine bogs mere.
Then they took us over to the cattle
barns and told us how to tell points
about cattle, sheep and goats, ibey
took all of us over to the state game
