United States Senators James A .O'Gornmn, of New York, l8lilor Raynor, of Maryland, and James B. Reed, of .Missouri, were men tioned here today as three posisblll tles for President-elect Wilson's cabi net. The only thing that stands In the way of their selection, It is said, Is the fear that other than progres sive Democrats would be elected to fill their seats In the senate. rresident-elect Wilson wants Sena tor O'Gormau In his cabinet, but fears that If O'Cornian resigns from ths senate to accept a portfolio, Tam many would elect William F. Shee han, or some other corporation law yer, to fill the vacancy. Tammany dominates the New York legislature, and Its members will be in a position to name O'Gorman's successor. William F. McCoombs, chairman of the Democratic national committee, has Indicated that he will not accept the postmaster-generalship, fearing he would be charged with using that po sition to build up the Democratic po litical machine. A Life (if AtlU'iitiire. The life of Carl I.uiuholu, whose new book, "New Trails in Mexico," fliarlcs Hcrlbm-r's Hons have Just pub lit lied, has been as full of adventures ns the life of one of Hiih-r Haggard's heroes. And Dr. Lunilioltz's ndveii-trp-s have been of a somewhat similar Wild to those of, for Instance, Allen Ouartermnliie. Ills earliest, book, ''Among Cannibals." gives an account of four years travel In Australia, and of camp life among "The Aborigines of (Queensland." In 'Tnkimwn Mex hc" he tells of live years of explora tion among tribes (if the western Sier ra Mailre. Dr. I.uinholtz was started on his va rcer of adventure by the I'niversity of Christiana In Norway, lie was sent to Ai'Ktrulla. and In the course (,f explor ing the continent, he lived for a year among tlio cannibal tribes In the northwestern part of Queensland, camping and hunting with them, and living as they did on such food ns makes nnd lizards. In tills way he learned the manners of these, the most savage people In the world; they are still In the Stone Age, and are rap idly dying out. The only means by which Dr. I.umholtz could keep friend ly with them was through the large supply of tobacco he carried with him, and which they much valued. Every night he fired off a pistol In order to keep up their belief In his power. Twice one of them tried to kill him, but he would not punish the man be cause he was a krfent hunter, and Dr. I.umholtz was at that time anxious to get a specimen of a marsupial tiger. "Among Cannibals" was published In 1899, and has been popular ever since. After It came out Dr. Uimholtz lec tured at Harvard university, anl else where In. this country. But a life of r dventure and change had become too much for him; he could not do with out more bf It So he selected about the only part of the world where tribes still live In primal simplicity Mexico, llesldes, the domantic stories of the Aztecs and the Mayas, and the terrible reign of Montezuma attracted him. The descendants of these races lived In the mountain fastnesses of Mexico, as their ancestors had lived before ' clout Cortez" came. Dr- Lumholtz went to study these people for the Am eiican Museum of Natural History and the American Geographical Society. He traveled slowly along that moun tain region called the Sierra Madre, which runs along the western coast of Mexico Into Central America. Ho was there five years, living with the na tives, eating their food, and becoming ns much a part of their communities ns lie could. In that way he worked himself Into their methods of thought and of feeling, Probably no man In the world understands them so well. He was in many dangers from their natural hosllllles to a white man. but lie retained a certain racial authority, v hlch always carried him through. The result w as the publication of "I'n known Mexico." Like "Among Canni bals," It was illustrated with tho au thor's own photographs and maps. Dr. I.umholtz's next trip was that which bis new book, "New Trails In Mexico," represents, lie started from Tucson. Arizona, in 19i".i. and spent a year ex ploring the little known region along the upper part of the Gulf of Mexico east of the Colorado river, or more specifically, into northwestern Soiioia, Mexico, nnd southwestern Arizona. Ills book Is full of ethnological and geo graphical Information of great scien tific and practical value. It Is also ex ceedingly Interesting to unscientific people because of the writer's high descriptive and narrative powers. Football Today. At Cambridge-Harvard 9, Vander tllt 3. At West Point Army 0.

William Wallaci Graham, well known In Salem ns Instructor of the most Rifted and successful of local violinists, will appear In concert at the Grand opera house on Tuesday evening, November 19, assisted by MIsb Thelma Waters, onntralto soloist of New York City and Boston. Mr. Graham has recently returned from his second visit to Kurope, where he spunt seven years in the acquisition of his splendid equipment rs concert artist of the violin The first five years of his Btudy abroad was pursued under the tutelage of Joachim, the wold-famous Instructor, and performer, whose methods of In struction In violin magic are recog nized the world over as supreme. '1 tie last two years of recent study Mr. Graham has spent with Marteau, the successr of Joachim, In Heiiin. His performance promises to eclipse any thing Salem audiences have heard heretofore. The Sunday Oregonlan says of Mr. Graham, In a recent per formance; "It Is a new Mr. Graham, violin ar tist, who has come back to Portland. There Is a new case, and a mastery in his playing, a finish that Is excel lent, and lie plays entirely from mem ory." At his concert he will use his fa mous Guarinarius violin, which has been so highly commended by the mu sical Instrument critics of New York and Merlin. Miss Thelma Waters enjoys such a reputation as entitles her to com ment from the Musical Courier and other journals, which at once place her In thy front, rank of American so loists. The Orogonlnn says; "Miss Waters has a true, mellow, sympathetic con tralto voice of depth and richness, and It has been finely trained. She Is a welcome acquisition as a contral to soloist, nnd is sure to win recog nition, and meet with as great suc cess on the coast as she enjoyed in the large cities In tho East" Harlem News, New York: "Miss Water's rendition of 'Schwer lelght auf dem Herzen,' from 'Nadeschda,' was received with great applause. She was encored again and again." ! no95 U ! ! ! j (ST)) -fAt, i I SHOES cJJ 3 SHOES,' 2C3 North Commercial Street I Big Parade a Feature of the Show One of the entertaining features connected with the Pacific Northwest Land Products show at Portland, No vember 18 to 23, will be the turning out of 1200 clerks from the offices of the railroads of the Harrlman system. Wednesday afternoon, November 20, the railroaders will march from the Wells Fargo building In a body, and as the matter has been entirely placed in the hands of a committee of clerks it Is assured that the parade through the chief avenues of the Rose City will be worth going miles to Bee. The parade will be headed by a band and Just behind the music will follow 50 wheelbarrow floats loaded with emblems of the farm and or chard. The hundreds of llarrlnuin people who will march to the Land Products show will carry vegetables and fruits grown through their own efforts, and on arriving at the show these will be donated with appropriate ceremonies to Professor C. L. Smith, the well kmiwn agriculturist of the O.-W. U. & N. who has been expounding the doc trine of fldetitlllc farming for these n.iiiiy years nnd who will be in charge of the exhibit made by the llarrlnuin railroads. The olllce forces of tho va rious railroads have listened to the earnest pleadings of Mr. Smith and those of them who have not actually engaged In agriculture- at his sugges tion have contributed to the cause bo represents by establishing a weekly ollice publication, known as the "Tater Tooter." Tho paper Is devoted solely to subjects connected with "getting back to the soil." After arriving at tho I.and Products show a quartette of railroad men will entertain with original parodies of late topical songs. The railroad offices which will close for tho afternoon of November 20 are the Southern Pacific Company, the 0. W. R & N, and the Portland, Eugene & Eastern, the latter being the new company which Is electrifying the steam roads of the Willamette valley. These roads are furnishing their em ployes tickets for the show, and in ad dition they have contributed $1000 In cash ahd two large silver cups to be given as awards. One of the cups was donated by J. D. Farrell, presi dent, and the other by tho manage ment of the O.-W. R. & N. The Harrlman people are lending their strongest encouragement to the Land Products show and will co-operate In every way to make It a suc cessful and typical representation of what can be done with the richest soil In America.
