Portland, Or., April 26. There Is reaction here since the storm over the primary election has subsided. ' The friends of Senator Bourne all express sincere regrets at his defeat, and it Is the general opin ion that had he oome home for 60 days and visited the various parts of the state where he has secured large appropriations, he would have been renominated hands down. There Is also the generally expressed opinion that Senator Bourne would have been re-elected had he been nominated. Jay Bowerman's friends undoubt edly exerted a big Influence to ac complish the defeat of Senator Bourne. While Bowerman is ab sorbed In a great big growing law practice, and taking no part In poli tics, his offices In the Yeon. building are a kind of eustern Oregon politi cal storm center. With the telephone a man with a wide acquaintance, who is here at Portland, can hit all parts of the state and set a great many people at work evenings after busi ness of the day Is dlBpatched. There Is no doubt but the staying away from Oregon and not being a more direct participant In Oregon affairs, such as paying taxes here and having a large personal acquain tance here, hurt Senator Bourne, Ben Selling has , erected several blocks of sky scrapers here and his money has gone Into every line of business and Industry in the state. There Is some talk of defeating Sell ing with a Democrat but it is more a mental habit than founded upon actual conditions. No one Is willing to put up any money that Ben Sell ing will not be elected the next United States senator for Oregon. - The same thing Is true of Con gressman Lafferty. He won the nom ination fairly over Judge Gantenbein who Is one of the strongest and most popular judges in the city. Gnnten bein had a large following among the liberal elements and had the hearty, support of the Oregonlan, being a son-in-law of one of the proprietors. Lafferty's efficiency as a rapid-fire worker for Oregon, has never been questioned and it is results and effi ciency thr.t counts among disinterest ed voters. Nick Sinnott, of The Dalles, has won out for congressman In the East ern Oregon district He was one of the ablest lawyers and a delightful senate orator in the last two ses- UUfV 1C0I Looking Backward Two Years Reveals Advance of From 60 to In Salem Real Estate - You have now confirmed this statement and now take a peep Into the future. You who are overlooking the splendid opportunity now offered In TIIE OAKS ADDITION will REGRET that you did not purchase proper ty there when it was offered upon such easy terms. This la now the cheapest priced property In Salem. . Many of the best people In Salem will toon begin the erection of beautiful homes In THE OAKS ADDI. TI0.V. The obnoxious and dangerous fly-Infested barna and Inferior dwellings are prohibited through ad equate building restrictions., which combined with the peace of mind enjoyed- .by having every modern Improvement now Installed gives to you the environment which will make you feel always satisfied with, your selection of TIIE OAKS ADDITION for your home. The Southern Paclflo and the Hill people are actively competing for territory In Salem and vicinity. Salem will grow by leaps and bounds within the next few months, when actual construction of proposed electric lines Into the country has commenced. In the meantime the development Salem will enjoy will spread over THE OAKS ADDITION and a decided advance will take place In price of all lots. Within one year our prophesy Is that lots In THE OAKS ADDITION will be selling for double the price you can purchase them for today we can sell you a lot now. By acting promptly you can hi.ve the benefit of the splendid contracts that we now have with the own ers of THE OAKS ADDITION. In a short time It will be Impossible for us to sell you a lot for so low a price, and upon such easy terms. Look for announcement of street railway merger, which will give THE OAKS ADDITION unexcelled car service. Bear In mind, however, that a walk of ten minutes only from the court house brings you to THE OAKS ADDITION. Get a plat of owners on ground. Phone 617, or J. H. Scott, sales agent, over Chicago Store. Thone 1552. slons of the legislature.' He carried all but two counties of his district and made a clean campaign so that his opponents tender him their hearty support. Sinnott will make one of the most substantial and dignified congressman Oregon has ever had. He received a classical education at Notre Dame University and read law with Judge Bennett at The Dalles, which means he Is a good lawyer. After a few terms In congress Sin nott Is a man who can go to the senate. I met Mr. Henry Wemme at din ner at the Commercial club the oth er evening. He has made a half mil lion in Oregon and has not a chick or a child In this country to leave It to. He Is the godfather of all the good roads In Multnomah county and the orglnntor and builder of the quadrangle from Portland to Sandy, Sandy to Mt. Hood, Mt. Hood to Hood River, and Hood River to Portland. He says he will, give a quarter of a million to finish this road If the next legislature will put up a like amount. The opening of the Merchants Na tional bank In its new quarters was the occasion of an enormous stream of visitors all day long. It was an ovation and an occasion for rejoicing In banking circles and the Merchants Is ranked among the strong and pop ular Institutions of the city. The new bank fixtures were made by the Lutke Manufacturing Co., in African mahog any, the marble work by the Mission Marble Works and the steel by the Columbia Wire and Iron Works, making the entire beautiful interior a "Made-ln-Oregon" equipment. The Lutke Manufacturing Co. has equipped several of the largest banks In this city, and two banks at Salem. They are equipping the new Holtz and Lip man stores. It is a peculiar coincidence that the man who stands In a large meas ure for the editorial policies of the big papers here are personally of a different opinion from their editorial policies. The Oregonlan that Is the "bete nolr" of socialism, has for its principal editorial writer, Dr. Chap man, a Socialist. The Telegram, that is opposed to prohibition and woman suffrage, Is edited by Mr. Carroll, who is personally for prohibition and suffrage. The Portland Journal, that la not In favor of the single tax, Is owned and controlled by Sam Jack' son, who Is a most ardent disciple of Henry George. Leone Case Baer, the dramatic critic and Sunday Oregonlan para grapher and Jingle writer, is said to be writing a book. This young wo man wields high-class stillctto Eng Hsh, that alternately gives you tin gles, makos you smile, or sends a rhapsodic chill down your spinal col umn. The book will surpass Mary Maclane because it will possess both originality and literary merit. It may have to be printed on asbestos to avoid setting all kinds of fires from combustion, and bound in some non-conductor material to prevent electric shocks vhen carelessly han dled. Following letter has been received by the genial Phil Bates, secretary of the Press association and editor of the Pacific Northwest, published at Portland: "Dear Sirs: Can you tell me If a woman with 10 children can get a pension and where would tbey have to write to and how much a that all women with 10 children was entitled to a pension. I enclose stamped envelope. Please answer by mall. Mrs. R, E. Hanna, Wamlc, Or." If there is no such law In this state, the Commercial clubs should take It up. What need to bring in foreign immigration when they can be "Made in Oregon"? The Davis-Scott Belting company cuts up 500 belting butts, which rep resents 500 tanned hides each month and will reach the 1000 mark before the year Is up. They buy the pick of the tanneries of the United States and leather they use costs about 70 cents, a pound. The scraps and trim mings from this valuable stock as ' they only use the centers are shipped back to Massachusetts, where the shoe factories use every particle of this waste product that ought to ' be worked up here. The, Davis-Scott Belting company makes water-proof belting, and have all the latest pro cesses for making perfected belts. Their double-thick leather belts are put under pressure of ;.,000 pounds to the square Inch, when they are glued and then put through a bath of : oil at a certain temperature and then finished. Their trade extends vover the entire northwest. W. F. Scott, president, 1b one of the live board of directors of the Manufacturer's Asso ciation. In the campaign just closed, Ben Olcott was the victim of one of his own economic rulings at Portland one day. He tried to get the secretary of state's office on long distance tele phone. But Salem would not receive It. Bfen established a rule to save money for the taxpayers that the sec retary of stato's office takes no tele phone calls "collect." Long distance operator notified the steward of the Commercial club that the state offi cial could not get his own office un less he paid at the other end Just the same as an other taxpayer. Ben tried to reason with the girl at the other end, but he has never had any luck In convincing any of the per verse sex. So he had to pay. There Is already talk of who shall be president of the senate. This hon or Is accorded to a holdover and may He between Dan J. Malnrky, of Port land, and John A. Carson, of Salem. The people are Interested In a hay seed organization that will pass about one-quarter as many bills and cut taxes down about one-half. I can see no sense In 30 men, just be cause Dame Fortune has whirled them Into that brief dignity for 40 days, turning the spigot of the-state treasury wide open and even handing out the money by handfuls thrpuRh an enlarged bungholo to their friend's and relatives. It may be that Dan Kelllher will take a hand in the game himself. Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton, announces that In 1914 he will make another effort to get the nomination for United States senator on a La Follette platform. ' He captured 7994 votes this time and there are tips and downs In politics that might make hlra a very available man two years hence. It was LaFollette's history that he ran for the office of governor about five times and this Is about the third effort Lowell has made for the senatorsblp. Indications are that the Oregonlan would fight htm and every little helps. F.x-Senator Jacob Voorhees Is the COM o 1IW Fill ASisalxisly Pssro Used and praised by the most competent and careful pas try cooks the world over The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar made from grapes best known man in Woodburn. He was in the state senate In 18S2 and 1884 and special session of 1885, as be recalls the dates. There were two deadlocks. The "eighteen" bolted Mitchell and finally elected Dolph. Next session there was no election. A special session was called, ostensi bly to elect Governor Moody to the U. S. senate, but Mitchell stepped in with a bunch of Democratic votes. At one of these sessions McConnell, af terwards governor of Idaho, was made president of the senate, but the power of appointing committees was taken out of his hands. Voorhees ought to have a monument at Salem. In fact, he erected one for himself by Introducing the resolution to move the government Indian school from Forest Grove to Cbemawa. In the stormy days above referred to, A. N. Gilbert, of Salem, took a hand In politics. Capt. Magrun, of the Breakwater, was Into this port from Coos Bay this week. He was about the only Roose velt booster In Coos Bay until the voie was laaen aim men mill section gave Teddy a rousing majority. The captain has' not aged a particle since (Continued on page eight.
