OREGON, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1906. NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Many lives were lost by the collapse of a hotel in Germany. Speaker Cannon admits the present tariff laws should be revised. The kaiser abandoned his trip to the Mediterranean for fear of assassination. The New York chamber of commerce urges congress to pass the Philippine tariff bill. Prince von Buelow, chancellor of Germany, fell in a faint while addressing the reichstag. The senate plans to do away with the office of superintendent of Indian affairs in Alaska and turn the work over to the governor. The Illinois primary law has been declared invalid by the state Supreme court and a special session of the legislature called to enact a new one. The Republic Oil company, a dummy of the Standard, has withdrawn from Nebraska, Iowa and Indiana. Its business will be continued by the Standard. Those in control at Zion City claim that Dowie intended to start a harem with seven wives whom he had selected. The prophet denies all charges and has started home from Mexico City. A new medical corps is to be organized for the army. Japan will soon open Manchuria o the trade of the wolf. China has sent a demand to Russia that she evacuate Manchuria at once.

Colonel Gilberto Escobo, governor of Jonotega, a province in Nicaragua, has been assassinated. Chicago has voted for municipal ownership and against municipal operation of traction lines. The French chamber of deputies severely scores the management of the mine in which the recent disaster occurred. It was declared the horror was due entirely to negligence. The house river and harbor committee has deferred action on the Fulton bill appropriating $400,000 for the mouth of the Columbia. The committee will meet again in a few days. Troops will protect the Russian Jews durin Eastertide. The New York legislature is rushing bills's for the control of insurance.

One line was made to read: "Let the people pav our debts, but not as we pay our creditors." Tillman will have a hard fight to be re-elected senator. Bristol's confirmation as district attorney for Oregon is assured. American money has saved thousands of lives in the Japanese famine districts. Miners Willing to Let Conciliation Board Settle Trouble. New York, April 6.—Having failed to come to an agreement themselves, the hard coal miners of Pennsylvania, through their representatives, today proposed to the operators that all matters in dispute be referred to a board of arbitration for settlement, the tribunal to be composed of the board of conciliation which was created by the award of the Anthracite Strike commission in 1903, with Judge Gray, of Delaware, or any person he may appoint, as chairman and umpire. If the operators accept the proposition and a convention of mineworkers approves the plan, the 160,000 men now idle in the anthracite fields will return to work at once. While it had been reported for several days that the miners might ask that the differences be arbitrated, the proposition came to them as a great surprise, as they did not believe the union leaders were ready to leave the controversy to a third party at this time. That the operators will accept the miners' proposal as submitted is not generally believed; in fact, it is intimated they may flatly refuse the offer, on the ground that existing conditions are the result of arbitration. The employers have decided to consider the miners' latest move and promise to give President Mitchell and his men an answer on Monday, when another meeting of the two sub-committees will be held in this city. The anthracite board of conciliation consists of six members — three representing the operators and three the miners. This board held frequent sessions during the last three years, settling local disputes in the anthracite region. The award of the strike commission provided that, when it could not agree, a Federal judge in the This judicial district should appoint umpire, who should make a decision. Judge George Gray, president of the strike commission, made the appointments. During the first two years selected Carrell D. Wright, ex United States commissioner of labor, as the umpire, but during the last ye Charles P. Neill, the present law commissioner, acted as the arbiter. Chinese Excited by Picture of Magistrate Killed by Priest. Pekit., April 6.—The Nanchanch of February last, during which the nese magistrate met death as the result of a dispute with French Catholic missionaries which caused a riot after killing of a number of French and Irish missionaries, continues to inflame the Chinese. The native papers in the north of China this week print pictures of the magistrate's corpse, showing his wounds, with sensational articles written in a style which appeals to the lower classes, exhorting the people not to forget the outrages and to prepare to defend themselves against foreign brutalities. The belief that a French priest murdered the magistrate is universal and probably no other incident ever excited such widespread resentment against the missionaries. In many places the Catholic converts and the other Chinese are living on the basis of armed neutrality, and but for the presence of the troops stationed near the missions by the government's orders, the slightest friction would result in massacre. Philadelphia, April 6. — The situation in the coal fields remains unchanged. Occasional disturbances are reported from various sections, but they are regarded as inconsequential. As a result of the attacks made on the breakers of the Fernwood colliery, the Erie, company, which owns the land occupied by the mineworkers, has ordered them to vacate the property. The miners are said to have shot out nearly every window in the breaker. A detail of state police today arrested seven Italian laborers at Mocanqua near Wilkesbarre, who yesterday prevented non-union men from operating the West End washery. They were sent to jail. Wants All Railroads Appraised. Washington, April 6. —By unanimous vote today the National association of Railway commissioners adopted the resolution of B. H. Meyer, of Wisconsin, offered yesterday, declaring it to be the sense of the association that the congress of the United States should authorize and direct the Interstate Commerce commission, or some other department of the Federal government, to ascertain the inventory value of all railways in the United States, and to fix a valuation on the railway property of each state separately. Washington, April 6 — The creation of an artificial island in the middle of the entrance to Ch seapeake bay is proposed by the joint board on coast defense, as an absolute essential to the defense of the National capital and cities of Baltimore, Norfolk, Newport News and even Richmond. The government will dump stone on the middle ground as foundation for a fort. OFFER TO ARBITRATE. Disturbance in Goal Field. Wants All Railroads Appraised Will Build Island for Fort.

Nicholas, Democratic candidates for Circuit judges in departments 3 and 4 of Multinamah county, will not appear on the official ballots. Secretary Dunbar was obliged to reject their petitions for the reason that they were verified by J- T Milner, who had not himself signed the petitions. Insure Water for Land. Salem—The State Land board is preparing to enforce a rule with regard to the sale of lands reclaimed under the Carey act, which will insure the settler ample supply of water for all land purchased. Until recently contracts have been entered into for the sale of land before the irrigation canals were completed or exact supply of water available known. In order that there may be no question in future, the board will insist on knowing how much water is available for each segregation and the number of acres to be sold will in no instance be more than the visible supply of water will irrigate. Furnish Ditch is Completed. Pendleon—W. J. Furnish announces that the Furnish ditch, which is to reclaim 20,000 acres of land in the western end of this county, is finished. Of this amount of land, 10,000 acres are now ready for water, and there are at least 10,000 more which can be brought under the ditch. This land is adjoining the big Umatilla reclamation project which the government now has in hand. The Furnish ditch is 30 miles in length, while the government canal will be 22 miles long and will also supply water for 20,000 acres. Storing Wool in Heppner Warehouses Storing Wool in Heppler Warehouses Heppner — Wool is beginning to arrive at the warehouses here, where it will be stored until the sales days in the latter part of May and the first of June. A large crop will be produced in this county this year, and very little is being contracted, stockmen preferring to hold until the sales days, when it will be sold to the highest bidder. Cut Timber Illegally. Prineville-John Dee a.d. A. R Eastwood were arraigned before United States Commissioner M. R Biggs last week on a charge of cutting timber on government land. They were held in the sum of $50 to appear before the United States grand jury TEMS OF INTEREST SPEAKERS FOR CHAUTAUQUA. Willamette Valley Directors Making Up Program for Year. Oregon City—The board of directors of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua association is preparing the program for the 1903 assembly to be held at Gladstone next July. Dr. Charles Edward Locke, who was in Portland 10 years ago, but is now pastor of one of the largest Methodist churches in the United States, at Brooklyn, N. Y., will be one of the speakers. Captain Jack Crawford, the famous poet-scout, has been engaged for the coming assembly, as has also Rabbi Leon Harrison, of St. Louis, who will be heard in two lectures, on "Shylock" and "The Glory and Shame of America." Professor Mark B. Beal, of the Occidental college of oratory, of Los Angeles, will be the elocutionist this year, Dr. W. C. Sherman, of Sacramento, who last year had charge of the class in Bible study, has been retained for another year. Other classes will be conducted as usual in music, domestic science, United States history, elocution, English literature, physical culture, junior Bible study and a W. C. at Scappoose. Scappoose- The Brace tumber company is building a sawmill on a tract bought of Rev. Mr. Brown. The mill will cut 30 000 feet a day. This makes five mills within a radius of eight miles of Scappoose. The new mill will be in operation in about three weeks. PORTLAND MARKETS Wheat—Club, 66@67c; bluestem, 66 @68c; red, 64@65c; valley, 68c Oats—No. 1 white feed, $27.50; gray, $27 per ton.

Topics of the Times In preparation, "Vindications I Have Had," by Pat Crowe. Father Gapon turns out to have been a police spy. Well, he looked it. A murderer has been sentenced to serve twenty-eight years in the penitentiary. But will he? Wisconsin has discovered that abolishing capital punishment does not reduce the number of capital crimes. Now someone is inquiring, "Has the New Woman Killed Love?" No, decidedly no. It was the old woman. The proposal to put the jail prisoners to work on the public roads would convert them all into practical highwaymen. It seems true that the Rockefeller family is doing its best to put temptation out of the reach of the average mortal. Senator Clark is afraid to fix in his mind what his copper mines are worth, for fear the tax assessors may be mind-readers. It is given out that King Edward is lamed for life. Surgical science is not yet equal to the job of giving even a king a new tendon Achilles. At the time Anna Gould married Boni Castellane there was a general impression that the girl was paying a high price for a remnant of royalty. It appears that the senior class at Annapolis has volunteers. some day choke At a time when the national government (as well as many States) is moving against adulteration of food, we have the entertaining spectacle of a professor of chemistry giving object lessons on the subject. A New Jersey chemist stands ready to supply you all sorts of food and drink, principally made up in his laboratory, without calling at all upon the animal or vegetable kingdoms. He will make you all sorts of salads and dressings, which taste well, and will take decayed meats and vegetables and after treatment apparently serve you a palatable and wholesome dish. French engineers are proud of the new railway bridge constructed by Frenchmen across the Songma in Indo-China. The Songma is a very deep stream, the waters of which are disturbed by violent winds. The depth at the point where the new bridge spans the river is sixty feet, so that it was not possible to erect a pier in the river, and the work had to be constructed entirely in the air. The form of bridge chosen was a steel arch carrying the roadway by suspensory cables. The members of the arch were swung into place by means of trolleys running on temporary cables stretched overhead. The arch consists of two halves conjoined at the center by a "rotule" or cap-piece, which automatically adjusts the effects of deformations. The length of the bridge is a little more than four hundred and thirty-one feet. The railway connects Hue, the capital of Anam, with Hanoi, the capital of Tonkin. The death of King Christian of Denmark and the succession of his son as Frederik VIII attracted attention to the secure position of the little kingdom in the family of European nations. in 1852 representatives of England, France, Austria, Russia, Prussia and Sweden signed a treaty, declaring that the maintenance of the integrity of the Danish monarchy was necessary for the peace of Europe. To secure that integrity they selected Prince Christian as heir to the childless king. The rights claimed by Prussia in the Danish provinces of Schleswig and Holstein were not surrendered by this treaty. Prussia claimed those provinces in 1864 in a war, one of the results of which was the annexation of them to Germany and their final separation from Danish --- influence. German ambition does not seek the annexation of Denmark itself. Even on the pan-German maps the boundaries of the new Germany stop at the southern frontier of Denmark. Denmark guards the mouth of the Baltic. It is to the interest of all the powers that a neutral nation shall hold this strategic position. If this were not so, it is likely that the pan-German map would include Denmark in the dream empire of the future. Should the interest of the powers disappear, Denmark itself might suffer the fate of Schleswig and Holsteln, which were selzed by Prussia at a time when neither England nor France cared enough about the integrity of the Danish kingdom to go to the assistance of the Danes. So long as Danish occupancy of the end of the old Jutland peninsula conserves the peace of Europe, the throne of the Danish kings will be safe. A thorough consideration of the whole question regarding the type of canal to be constructed on the Isthmus of Panama has led President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft to decide in favor of the lock canal and against the sea-level waterway. The last word will be uttered by Congress, for Mr. Roosevelt says in his message accompanying the reports of the experts, the commissioners and Chief Engineer Stevens that its direction "will, of course, be followed," whatever it may be. But there is little doubt that Congress will indorse the practical conclusions of the executive. It cannot be said that the decision was hastily made. Special care has been taken to insure the best presentation in favor of the sea-level project. The arguments of the majority of the consulting engineers have been earnestly and deeply considered. Secretary Taft admits that he entered upon the study with a pronounced leaning toward a sea-level canal. President Roosevelt also originally indicated a be for that type of waterway. compelled them to render have finally given may up as follows: The rock canals now in so narrow as that and exclusive. The means to be clear- ck canal. UERLO INDIANS. The picture shows some of the curious dwellings of the Pueblo Indians at Taos, N. M. They are believed to be the oldest human habitations in America, and the Taos valley is probably the most primitive spot in the country. Over 500 families live in these Taos pueblos, which are constructed of adobe and straw, tier upon tier of rooms, the first floor reached by a ladder. In the town of Taos, which is three miles from the Pueblos, Kit Carson's house is still standing. He is buried in the Taos cemetery. Faith with Works. "Do you believe in athletics?" a contributor to Punch asked a well-known London business man who was found practicing with the dumb-bells at the back of his warehouse the other day. "Certainly I do," he promptly replied. "Think it is good for your health?" "I know it is. Why, a couple of years ago I took twenty-four lessons in boxing and worked up a big muscle. I was going home one night, when a man jumped out at me from the alley. In a minute he was nowhere." "Hit him hard, eh?" "No; I didn't hit him at all." "Trip him up and fall on him?" "No." "Well, what did you do?" "Outran him! But for my athletic exercises I couldn't have done it." Double Crossed. Freddle—They have the no-break-fast fad around our house. Bobble—How do you stand it? Freddle—Pretty well, except when I am bad and get sent to bed without any supper—Puck. A definition of friendship not found in the dictionary: When a woman is asked to stand in the receiving line at a party; when she goes to the milliner and chooses the mourning hats to be tried on before the funeral. --- THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON REGULATOR LINE PORTLAND AND THE DALLES ROUTE All Way Landings.

A plaintive voice came through the silence, "I laughed, mister." Then everybody did. A well-known Scotch author and a young friend of his had spent the whole day on the links, and had had some close and exciting matches. As they left for home, the elder man remarked: "Do you think you could play again to-morrow, laddle?" "Well," answered the youth. "I was to be married to-morrow, but I can put it off." Propletors of big concerns get accustomed to silent commendation and outspoken complaints. They are a great deal like a certain restaurant manager. To this manager a patron said one afternoon: "Where did you get that beef that you served me for lunch?" And the manager, confident that a complaint was forthcoming, said, hotly: "Well, sir, what was the matter with the beef?" "Nothing," said the patron; "that was why I asked." A certain Irishwoman, on her deathbed, called her husband to her side. "Patrick," she said, "I've a last raquist to make of ye." "I couldn't rayfuseye anything Mary, darlint," responded the sorrowing husband. "Patrick," said Mary, solemnly, "I want ye shud leave mother ride in the carriage beside ye to me funeril." "Tis too much ye're askin' of me, Mary!" cried Pat, springing to his feet in desperation. Mary, however, was determined on this point, and Pat finally yielded to her "last rayquist." "I'll have her ride be me side," he promised, weeping bitterly, "but mark ye, Mary, darlint, 'twill sholl the day fur me entoriously, that it will!" When Representative Smith of Iowa was a fledgling attorney he was anxious to make a reputation for himself. A prisoner was brought before the bar in the criminal court in Iowa, but he was not represented by a lawyer. "Where is your lawyer?" inquired the judge who presided. "I have none," responded the prisoner. "Why haven't you?" "Haven't any money with which to pay a lawyer." "Do you want a lawyer?" asked the judge. "Yes, your honor." "There is Walter I. Smith, John Brown, George Green," said the judge, pointing to a lot of young attorneys who were about the court waiting for something to turn up. "And Mr. Alexander is out in the corridor." The prisoner eyed the budding attorneys in the court-room) and after a critical survey stroked his chin and said: "W-a-1-l, I guess I will take Mr. Alexander." Frank N. Doubleday, the New York publisher, was in England last winter, and had several talks with Rudyard Kipling. One of the stories Kipling told him was this: "I was in Cape Town, South Africa, talking with Dr. Jameson, when the papers came with the story of the revolution in Panama, the secession of the canal zone, and the formation of the Republic of Panama. This particular story said that the whole scheme had been engineered by President Roosevelt, which is untrue, of course, but that is the way the story went. Jameson read it aloud to me, and when he had finished, said: 'Gad, Kipling, that makes my little expedition look foolish!'" Doubleday thought the story was very good. Next time he came to Washington he told it to the President, expecting to get a laugh. "I fall to see the joke," said the President tartly, and when Doubleday thought it over he failed to see it, too. Towns Made While You Walt. In the clearings the log house is a rarity, because the portable sawmill goes along with the timberman and slits the log into framing and boards for the dwelling—while you wait. And the people are even in touch with the world. If they have no time to plant telephone poles, they nail the insulator to trees and run the wire through the woods. In the old days of the "Plains West" the town was born when the saloon, the smithshop and the corner store threw open its doors. In this Northwest the community springs into existence with everything ready for the daily life of its inhabitants. Not only are the stores prepared for trade, but the school house is awaiting the children, the church invites to Sunday worship, and it is strange if the town newspaper does not come off the press to its readers within a month or so after the birth of the future city.—Outing Magazine. A Short Way. Henry VIII. was chuckling quite a bit to himself. On his suite inquiring respectfully what was the joke he replied: "If any of you are married men and would like to know how a wife feels when her husband gets ahead of her, just do as I did—ax her." And again he laughed so heartily that the building inspector was on the point of theatening to condemn the royal palace if the walls shook that way again.—Baltimore American. Dangerous Pursuit. "They say Miss Passey is a great sportswoman." "That's right. She goes in for big game, too." "So?" "Yes. She's a man hunter."—Detroit Free Press.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA Secretary of War Taft made an interesting speech on the Negro at Tuskegee, Wednesday, from which we reprint some of the more salient points: It now is the habit of many contemplating the condition of the two races in the Southern States to shake their heads and say that the Negro problem is far from solved, and that the future in this respect is dark. Plans have been suggested of a migration of the Negro race to some other country where they would live by themselves and grow up by themselves and have a sovereignty by themselves and create a nation by themselves. Such a suggestion is most chimerical. The Negro has no desire to go and the men of the South would seriously object to his going. It makes no difference how the Negro came here; it makes no difference how impossible and objectionable the amalgamation of the two races may be; it makes no difference how impossible it may be for them to come together socially, the Negroes are here in this country as a part of our people and are bound to continue to be a part of our people. They are entitled to the unceasing effort of our whole people in their struggle for better things, both because it is our duty and our interest. Help of Southern Whites. Mr. Taft said the Negro had made great progress since the Civil war, and continued: The white men who can do the most good for the Negro, who can aid him in his toilsome march to better material and intellectual conditions, are the Southern white men who are his neighbors. It is one of the encouraging signs of the times that there is growing up in the South a body of leading white men who feel that, the future of the Negro race affects the future of the South and that both self-interest and humanity require them to lend all the aid they can to this people in the throes of a burdensome effort. * * * In the first place, if he continues to increase in intelligence by the acceptance of the educational opportunities which are being offered him under the influence of Mr. Washington in great institutions like this, and if, industrially, he becomes a power and this gradually increases the number of his race who are eligible to vote in accordance with the law, he introduces into the electoral a body of individuals well qualified to act with common sense and judgment, and who, by their very position in the community, give weight to the vote they cast. SHEPHERD FOR CONGRESS The friends of Attorney Geo. S. Shepherd, the popular candidate for the Republican nomination for congress from the Second district of this state, are enthusiastic over the progress being made by the man in whom they center all of their confidence, and for whom they are making a clean, vigorous and intelligent canvass. When reference is made to Mr. Shepherd's friends it is meant to include a very large proportion of the citizenship of this district; for Mr. Shepherd has been a resident of Oregon for thirty years and has been prominent as one of the most energetic, popular and successful lawyers in this city for eleven years. In 1903 Mr. Shepherd shipped before the mast on a sailing vessel for the purpose of studying navigation, a subject in which he has long been much interested. In the capacity of common sailor on an unusual cruise for a man of his prominence and enjoying as he was at that time a good practice, he rounded Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope and has crossed the Columbia river far many times. He has thus become more familiar with the needs of Oregon and the Columbia river than any one else could possibly be without this experience. He has for a long time been studying the most effective methods of acquiring definite knowledge of the conditions of this phenomenal state and the best means of presenting them in appeals for the application of the required remedies through the national congress. The circumstance of Mr. Shepherd's shipping as a sailor to add to his already extensive store of knowledge of the needs of this state illustrates the fact that he is at all times a most practical man. He is so in everything he undertakes. He would be a most practical congressman. Those who know him and his business methods, and who know his record as councilman, can have no possible doubt of that fact. It is becoming more and more apparent to those interested that it is the practical man we need in the national congress—men who have knowledge, experience and the wisdom thus acquired; men who have the courage of their convictions, and men who have practical business methods for the proper prosecution of any work they may undertake; men of honor and men of high ambition. Such a man is Geo. S. Shepherd—and we need him in congress. MR. COLWELL'S POSITION In the course of an open letter, published Thursday in the Oregonian, Mr. Elmer B. Colwell, a candidate for state senator says: "I think it is time the public and the laboring men woke up. The Journal has attacked my record in the last legislature, but if voting for the passage of every labor measure that was presented is an unfavorable record, I am satisfied to quit. If I am re-elected I will not change. Does anybody know how the new candidates will stand on labor questions? Should not the wage-earner stand by those who have stood by him? I was the first candidate to call attention to the double deal which Mr. Ladd and the corporations have fixed up for the people, and if the public awakens to this fact, all my purpose is served. Has any candidate, for instance, except myself, promised to vote for a law which will prevent Portland street-car companies from exacting a deposit of $25 in cash from every employee when he enters their service, and placing the total of $25,000 or more thus obtained to the company's credit in the bank and paying their employees no interest whatever on this money extorted from the laboring men? Did any candidate declare for 85-cent gas and control of public utility franchises before I did? The question of whether I go to the legislature or not is a minor one. The question of whether a man signs statement 1 or signs statement 2 is a minor one, but the question of whether the corporations shall dominate the next legislature is not a minor one, although the Journal, masquerading as usual as the friend of the people is making violent endeavors to beof the issue. I shall be satisfied if I succeed in demonstrating the cunning of the corporations and the hypocrisy of the Journal." The New Age does not feel inclined to join in attacks on the Journal, though that paper is doubtless obnoxious to some citizens, but it likes the open, frank, manly way in which Mr. Colwell announces his candidacy and defines his position. THE PRIMARY LAW. A good deal of complaint is made of the primary law, because voters have to declare their politics under oath, and because only two political parties are recognized in the primaries. There are a good many voters these days who cannot consciously declare that they are either Republicans, Democrats, Socialists or Prohibitionists. That is, they intend to split their votes and pick and choose the men to be voted for among the candidates of two or more parties. Besides, many voters do not think the law should require them to disclose their politics, and we think that in these respects quite a strong public sentiment will arise in favor of THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON As to the much-talked-of "Statement No. 1," we doubt whether it will work as some of its strenuous supporters expect or demand. The main trouble is, as we have repeatedly pointed out, that with five or six Republican candidates in the primaries, the vote being perhaps quite equally divided between them, there is really no popular choice, and the legislators should be permitted to exercise their judgment and their constitutional prerogative, and we think that a good many of them will do so. Of course, if one man should have a majority over all others, he ought to be chosen by the legislature, and no doubt will be, but it ought not to be incumbent on them to elect a man who has perhaps only a third or quarter of the Republican vote of the state, though he may have a small plurality. FRED W. MULKEY P. Candidate for Republican Nomination FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR For the Short Term. A prominent citizen and business man of Portland has this to say of Mr. Mulkey: Fred. W. Mulkey was born in Portland, Oregon, and is a resident of his native city. He is a young man with every accomplishment which should qualify him for this high office. He is a graduate of the State University of Oregon, the New York Law School of New York City, and is a lawyer of high standing, a man who has traveled extensively in our own country as well as abroad. He has studied our institutions and compared them with foreign countries. He is a logical thinker, a forceful speaker and an adept parliamentarian. He has many friends, both rich and poor, for he is a courteous gentleman at all times. He is a republican always. He has supported all the nominees of the republican ticket at all times. He is as loyal to his party as to his friends. He has confidence in the people and is willing to abide by their decision at the primary election. Oregon needs such men as Fred. W. Mulkey. 'The republican party needs such men, and the voters should see that such men are nominated and elected. M'CORMICK BEATEN. The New Age confesses that it was somewhat surprised and disappointed at the defeat of Mr. R. L. McCormick for mayor of Tacoma. That very nice and growing city needed just such a man for its chief executive, and if he had been elected he would have done much to advance its interests. He was defeated partly because he was supposed to be very friendly to the Hill railroads, and Tacoma is exceedingly desirous of getting the Harriman line into that city. We have no doubt that Mr. McCormick would have worked earnestly and faithfully for the competing railroad, but his opponents aroused a feeling of distrust on that account that could not be allayed, and that cost him many votes. Another cause of his defeat was the corruption fund used at the campaign by the Wright forces. The vicious element was completely gained for Wright, although McCormick is not a radical reformer, and it is not to Wright's or Tacoma's credit that his election was due to the vicious classes and to the use of boodle, said to have been supplied by the Harriman interests. We think Tacoma has made a serious mistake in turning down so energetic and enterprising a citizen as Mr. McCormick, and that the better people of that city will regret SECRETARY OF STATE The secretary of state of Oregon is an exceedingly important office, scarcely less so than that of governor—possibly even more so. Only on his warrants are the state's funds disbursed, and he must be familiar with and watchful of all appropriations and other laws. He is the custodian of all the public records and of the state house. He is a member of the state land board and other important boards. He has control in an important sense of the school funds, and has educational responsibility. He must interest himself particularly in the fees paid by corporations, and is expected to make suggestions and give advice as to tax laws. So it will be seen that his duties and responsibilities are numerous and onerous. Of four men now running for this office, Mr. Frank T. Wrightman, who has been assistant secretary of state for eight years or more, is the best qualified and equipped. He ought by all means to be nominated at the primaries, and we believe will be. The people will make no mistake in nominating and electing him. VOTE FOR Candidate for Republican nomination for the office of constable, West Side. CANDIDATES IN ROUGH RHYME. Who'll be the sheriff for the next two years is what many would like to know; It will scarcely be Word, for he won't have the chance he had two years ago; There are Storey, and Kelly, who'll get some votes, and, as of course you've heard, The regular biennial candidate, who surely is a Bird; Mr. Stevens, from the Ladds' rich bank, resigned to make the race, And supposes he will set the rest quite a clipping, dizzy pace; So take your choice and vote for the one who you honestly think will serve The people best, and from duty's path will never shrink or swerve. As to judge, now, it is generally thought that some changes might well be made; That George and Sears have served long enough, and are growing a little decayed; While Morrow and Gantenbein are all right, and the circuit bench would adorn; And that no better candidates have been politically bred and born; While as to Judge Webster, Lionel R., in spite of his notable name, It is thought that he for absences oft should be held somewhat to blame; And that of all the men to take his place and fill the place just right; Rush Giltner's the boy who can be counted on to be both white and right. For justices, constables, and so on, there's perhaps but little choice; Though Justice Reld seems well to deserve an approving public voice; And among the funny things we've heard, is a hint from the P. C. gulf That there's really a candidate down there in the form of A. Walter Wolf. If you want to elect him you'd better put in for constable Paddy Maher; And then take a gaze far abroad and decide no longer to stay here. For state senator four fair men appear, but of the lot we think That Olwell's the man to vote for, because the truth he doesn't blink Then as to representatives, there's no telling who'll be best. It's like a vote in the dark for the most, and the divil take the hindmostest. (To be continued—perhaps.) Fields and Brandes will go in again. Get ready to vote. Candidates getting lively. Tax the franchise grabbers. Reid has made a good justice. Colored Democrats are scarce. Mr. Steel deserves your votes. Looks like Glitner will get there. Toqze or Huston? Nobody knows yet. Commissioner Barnes will win easily. Nobody wants to be county surveyor. Judge Watson will make an ideal senator. Only two days more in which to register. State Printer Whitney well deserves another term. No more candidates. Well, there are enough. Judge Watson deserves to win out for senator. Dr. Withycombe will make a first-class governor. Be careful in picking candidates for the legislature. The Oregonian is doing a splendid work for Portland. Mr. George A. Steel well deserves the people's support. Shepherd is the best man for representative in congress. Vote for that excellent friend of the people, Dr. Withycombe. Attorney-General Crawford has made an excellent official. The country will roll up a very large vote for Withycombe. The primary law is an expensive thing. Is it worth its cost? It will be quite a job to pick the best men for the legislature. Mr. R. R. Giltner's supporters are rapidly increasing in number. George A. Steel for state treasurer is gaining in favor every day. Mr. R. G. Morrow and Col. Gantenbein will make first-class judges. Mr. Wrightman is the best man of the bunch running for secretary of state. It is at least doubtful if the people want Judge Webster to serve another term. W. A. Storey is trying to run for sheriff again, but stands no show of winning. No opposition to State Superintendent of Schools Ackerman. He suits the people. Do your duty as a citizen and register, if you haven't. Only Monday and Tuesday in which to do so. Sheriff Word will probably be nominated by the Democrats, but that he will be elected is by no means certain. A good many men who worked for Governor Chamberlain four years ago won't do so this spring, though he has made a rather good record. Attorney Wrightman's chances for nomination for secretary of state are improving during every day of the contest. He is certainly the right man for the place. Vote for R. G. Morrow for the nomination for the judgeship in Department No. 2. His candidacy has received the endorsement of the bar and the judiciary alike. Hon. R. G. Morrow, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for the circuit judgeship in Department No. 2, is beyond doubt the most popular candidate for that office. His ability as a lawyer and his fitness to serve as a jurist notably qualify him for the place his many friends have induced him to seek. No one doubts the purpose of his honorable ambition. --- A man's official business ought to be more important than his private business, after he accepts an official place of great responsibility like that of the county judgeship. It seems to be different with Judge Webster. His mines are more important than his responsibility for the exchequer of the people. His legal work also seems to take precedence over his official business. The people have had enough of that. * * * Hon Frank T. Wrightman, who is the Republican candidate for the nomination for the state secretaryship, has received so many assurances of success that there should be no doubt about the result. He is popular, able and is fitted in every way to be the successor of Hon. F. I. Dunbar. Mr. Wrightman is already familiar with the duties of the office which he seeks and would in every way make an ideal secretary of state. *** Colonel C. U. Gantenbein is one of the most popular candidates in the local field for public office. His candidacy for a circuit judgeship is meeting with hearty endorsement by all classes. He is an able lawyer and is fitted by professional work to make an excellent judge. He represents the progressive element in American citizenship. That he will hake a just and impartial judge there can be no doubt. He will serve the people fearlessly and without expectation of favor, except that which should be accorded him as a just judge. Hon. R. R. Giltner, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for the county judgeship, is receiving strong endorsement in every district so far canvassed. The voters know Mr. Giltner well. They know him to be honest, steadfast, energetic and progressive. They know him to be a good lawyer and a good judge of law. They know that he is conscientious and impartial. They know, also, that he knows what the needs of the people of the county are. They have no doubt, either, that he will devote all of his time to his official work. The duties of the judge of Multnomah county are now sufficiently important and urgent to demand that. Everybody knows that Rush Giltner will fill the bill. That's enough. * * * Mr. Dave B. Mackie's candidacy for the nomination for representative in the state legislature from this county is receiving encouragement on every hand because of his personal popularity and his unquestioned fitness for the office. He is one of the progressive young business men of the city and is fitted by education, study and business training to be the representative of the people of Multnomah county in the state legislature. He has for years been an indefatigable worker for the party and for everything that the party represents in the advancement of the interests of the state. *** Hon. J. R. Whitney, as state printer, has made a most conservative and faithful official and has fully earned the honor of re-election. His conduct of the business of that responsible office has been most economical throughout. He has introduced many substantial reforms in the work of the office, thus saving much money heretofore needlessly expended in public printing. He has fully earned the nomination for a second term—and he will no doubt receive it. If the people know on which side their bread is buttered in the state printer's office they will re-nominate and re-elect Hon. J. R. Whitney. Portland New Age Office, 48% Second St., cor.

There is little doubt in the minds of those who have been watching closely the congressional campaign in the First district than Hon. Walter L. Tooze will represent Oregon in the next session of the national legislature; but his friends should not, by any means, cease their effort in his behalf, notwithstanding the fact that he is the chief figure in a most remarkable contest. The platform on which Mr. Tooze is making his campaign is popular with the people. He stands for something substantial in congressional work. His declaration of principles for which he will contend has the true ring of Americanism in it, from beginning to end. It appeals to all good citizens, no matter to what party they belong, as partisans. He stands for everything that is good and progressive in the Republican party. He is unalterably in sympathy with the Chinese exclusion act and with everything that will safeguard the American laborer in his enjoyment of his constitutional rights. His sympathies are with the Americanized laborer, first, last and all the time. Mr. Tooze is with President Roosevelt on the railroad rate question—and with Senator Fulton, as well, in that important matter. In addition to that, he favors the immediate enactment of laws that will protect the lives of railroad employees and reasonably limit the hours of their day's labor. He is thoroughly informed on the subject of needed improvement of our harbors and rivers, and particularly those which have been neglected during late years. No one could render better service than he on the matters that pertain to progress on these lines. Mr. Tooze favors the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. He is in hearty sympathy with the direct primary law, and therefore favors "Statement No. 1," in which legislative candidates are pledged to vote for the man whom the people name for United States senator. Mr. Tooze, who is a prominent business man of Wooldburn and a large employer of labor, has never before sought a state office, although he has for years been a prominent factor in the politics of the state. He is one of the best and most successful campaigners in the state and has in that capacity rendered eminent service to his party and, through it, to the country at large. He is an able man, a ready debater, a forceful speaker and indefatigable worker for that which is good, uplifting, enlightening and progressive. He is a young man of energy, courage and honorable ambition. That Hon. Walter L. Tooze will make and exemplary and ideal congressman there is no doubt. No man is better informed on the needs of the state than he, nor does any one know better than he the proper means of supplying them by national legislation. He has made a study of these matters, anticipating the occasion and the opportunity to use this knowledge officially. There is no other candidate in the field for that important nomination whose platform is as broad, comprehensive and liberal as that of Hon. Walter L. Tooze; and a vote for his nomination is a vote for the man whom the people can trust. He has always been loyal and patriotic. He is too ambitious and conscientious to mix up with questionable deals, even for campaign purposes. He is the kind of man whom we need in the national congress, and the people of Oregon can serve their interests no better than by nominating him. Miss., is in the city on a visit.

Queen Esther Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, No. 3, will give a social and literary entertainment at Graham's hall, 5728 State street, Thursday evening, April 19. There is a movement on foot in the state that the women who belong to the Tabernacles of Knights of Tabor will sever their connection with the men's department and hereafter conduct a Grand Tabernacle for the state of Illinois independently by themselves. It appears that the men have brought much confusion in the Order of the Tabernacle, and they are now following the example of other secret societies, and that is the women are conducting and managing their department for themselves. At a meeting of Mecca Court of Daughters of Sphinx of Chicago held last Monday, Mrs. J. H. Johnson offered the following resolutions which were adopted: Whereas, We believe that it is proper when men and women of our race exert themselves in spending their time and money to promote the welfare and the best interests of the colored race of this country, and Whereas, We recognize in Mr. W. E. Holmes, of Macon, Ga., a man who has for years in the past, and is now a champion and strong advocate of the welfare and promotion of the Negro race in America, and that he has by his untiring energy, zeal and determination, and ability, been the means of founding, promoting and sustaining, by his wise and excellent judgment, the Central Baptist college at Macon, Ga., that now gives to the Negro race of America an educational institution that stands second to none in this country. Resolved, That this Mecca Court of Daughters of Sphinx, of Chicago, does hereby pledge itself, as members, individually and collectively, in the future to do all in their power to aid and assist the Central Baptist college at Macon, Ga. Resolved further. That we call upon all members of all secret and benevolent organizations in this country, and the Negro race in general, who love race pride and honor, to aid and assist Mr. W. E. Holmes, of Macon, Ga., in his splendid and landable work. GREAT TRADE WITH MEXICO. Relations With Republic on the South Ane Very Close. Washington, April 8.—A bulletin issued by the department of Commerce and Labor shows that the trade of the United States with Mexico in the fiscal year 1905 aggregated in value $92,000,-000, as compared with $31,000,000 in 1895, and $18,000,000 in 1885. Of Mexico's total imports of merchandise, 53 per cent is drawn from the United States, and of her to'l exports 71 per cent is sent to the United States. No other country except Canada draws so large a percentage of its imports from the United States as does Mexico, and no other country except Cuba sends so large a percentage of its exports to the United States as does Mexico. Estimates made by American consular repentatives and others by persons in the United States familiar with the subject, the bulletin says, indicates that fully $1,000,000,000 of capital from this country is now invested in Mexico, Canada and Cuba, of which about one-half is in Mexico. THREE TRAINS IN A WRECK. Passenger Train Comes Last on Top of High Embankment. Delta, O., April 3.—Piled in a wreck on top of an embankment 30 feet high, 100 persons escaped from injury in a miraculous manner in a collision on the Lake Shore railroad near here tonight. Two freights, east bound, were tied up in a rear end collision, with the caboose of the train in front, which had stopped to take water, thrown squarely across the track of train No. 3, a west bound passenger. The mix-up between the freights had scarcely occurred when the passenger bowled along, striking the overturned caboose. The brakes were set, but, going at almost a mile a minute, the headway was so great that, with a crash, the passenger locomotive jumped the track, plunging along the ties, driving the caboose ahead. Two Pullmans were telescoped, but, after the train had stopped, the passengers dashed wildly out of the various coaches and slid 30 feet to the bottom of the embankment to a place of safety. The wreck took fire and caused a damage of $100,000. Coal for Missouri Institutions. Jefferson City, Mo., April 3. — Governor Folk, through Warden Matt Hall, of the state penitentiary here, has leased a mine near Waverly, from which coal will be mined during the present strike in sufficient quantities to supply the 15 state institutions with fuel. The miners at Waverly are paid 10 per cent more than the regular scale and do not want to strike. If they should be forced to go out Warden Hall said there would be no difficulty in operating the mine if the state is forced to resort to that extremity.

In pursuance of a judgment rendered in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, for Multnomah county, on the 13th day of February, 1906, in an action wherein The Ames Merchantile Agency, a corporation, was plaintiff, and Thos. S. Kearns was defendant, in favor of the said plaintiff, and against the said defendant for the sum of $86.10, with interest thereon at the rate of 10 per cent per annum from the 13th day of February, 1906, and a further sum of $25 as attorney's fees, and the costs and burdensure of said action taxed at $15.05, and by virtue of an execution issued out of the above entitled court on said judgment on the 26th day of March, 1906.

Man of Great Ambition and Wealth Could Make Potentates Cringe. What about these sons of the rich, these princes of our money aristocracy? How much chance is there that one of them will develop the genius of the founder of his line, and instead of squandering millions will accumulate tens of millions; instead of living in useless luxury on his income will prove himself a force in the industrial and financial world, a man able to fight and conquer like his father or grandfather? Extraordinary happenings are always unexpected, yet once in a century or so, like the advent of a mighty conquerer or reformer, they do come to pass. And if there should arise in this land a man of thirty or forty who, starting with two or three billions (owned or controlled by him) should be great enough to brush aside the trammels of indolence and temptation, great enough to see that never in modern times has there been offered to a man, not even to Napoleon, so stupendous a chance as this to wield absolute power, great enough finally to use his two or three billions to its full potentiality, then—well, there would surely be interesting history made in that man's lifetime! We have had our iron kings, railroad kings, copper kings, sugar kings and others, but there is one kind of king we have not had yet. A real king? Yes, for how long, pray, this republic stand against the aggressions of such a man, a great-minded despot without conscience or bounds to his ambition, one in comparison to whom our Rockefeller and Carnegie would seem like blundering beginners? Already our millionaire magnates have begun to buy our courts and legislatures, to corrupt our cities, to debauch the public conscience; he would finish the work and do it thoroughly, he would make the laws, own the newspapers, subsidize churches and colleges, mold public opinion, direct the machinery of justice, control the industries, the banks, the insurance companies, the conditions of labor, regulate supply and demand, fix prices, absorb profits, centralize everything, be everything. Why not? Even as things are, has the world any king more powerful than J. P Morgan or John D. Rockefeller? Re remember how Europe cringed to Mr Morgan at his last visit, with emperors seeking his favor and princes waiting at his door. A real king? Why we practically have two of them already—Cleveland Moffett in Success Magazine. Ribbons and passmenteries to the value of $16,000,000 were produced in 1904 at St. Etienne, France.

An Irishman was walking along a road beside a golf links when he was suddenly struck between the shoulders by a golf ball. The force of the blow, says a writer In the New York World, almost knocked him down. When he recovered he observed a golfer running toward him. "Are you hurt?" asked the player. "Why didn't you get out of the way?" "An' why should I get out of the way?" asked Pat. "I didn't know there were any assassins round here." "But I called 'fore,'" said the player, "and when I say 'fore,' that is a sign for you to get out of the way." "Oh, it is, is it?" said Pat. "Well, thin, when I say 'folive,' it is a sign that you are going to get hit on the nose. 'Folive.'" Literal. "I never saw a man's opinion of himself so thoroughly justified as was young Softy's at our place the other day." "What happened?" "Well, he thought he was the biggest gun in the establishment." "Yes?" "And so he was always booming himself." "Well?" "Well, the boss just fired him."—Baltimore American. To Break In New Shoes. Always shake in Allen's Foot-Ease, a powder.

"You infernal scoundrel," he said, "after you have satisfied yourself that there's nothing worth stealing down there will you please push in the upper damper rod of the furnace? I forgot to do it." Then he curled back into bed again. On swept the little red automobile that was built for two. "You—you seem so quiet," whispered the beautiful girl, anxiously. "Is there anything about this machine that is broken?" "Yes," hissed the tall man at her side, bitterly. "My heart." Feeling remorseful at having jilted him so cruelly the beautiful girl leaned over and added: "Cheer up, George! If your heart is really broken we can stop at a repair shop." "Nonsense! What kind of a repair shop could mend a broken heart?" "Why, the parsonage, George." Twenty minutes later the "repair shop" was reached. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Chat. H. Flitchur. In Use For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON Like many another New England housewife, Mrs. Greene was familiar enough with the old-fashioned "One-Two-Three-Four Cake," the arithmetically progressive recipe for which calls for one cup of butter, two of sugar, three of flour, and four eggs. Her daughter Grace, who married several years ago and went to San Francisco to live, has recently come back with her children for a visit. When the tiniest of her grandsons one day begged for "One-Two-Three-Five" Cake for supper, Mrs. Greene laughed the delighted laugh of the grandmother. "Bless the boy!" she cried. "Just hear him trying to count!" Oh, Billy can count, mother," said Grace. "But that's what we call that cake now, ever since my Chinese cook began to make it. "The children are very fond of this particular cake, so after Lee's arrival I undertook to teach him to make it. I had learned by that time that it is useless to tell him how to do anything; but I had only to make a dish before him, and then he could make it exactly as well as I. "So I measured out the butter, sugar and flour, and began to break the eggs. I broke three, one by one, and turned them into the bowl for beating; but as the fourth seemed the least bit 'doubtful,' I stepped to the door and threw it into the pail, and coming back to the table, I broke another egg, which proved to be good. "Shortly afterward I happened to be in the kitchen when Lee was making this cake. He broke three eggs into the bowl, as I had done, and then stepped to the door and threw out the next egg—which was perfectly good. "When I protested, he said, 'I make cake samee Misssee.' And when I looked into his expressionless eyes, somehow I knew there was no use in combating the centuries of the Chinese Empire. I gave up, and just changed the name of the cake. It was easier than to make Lee over." HOW THE CHEF IS TRAINED. It Takes Him Ten Years to Acquire Art of Cooking. The chef, whose salary is $8,000 a year, tipped the cabman handsomely and entered his club, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. "How one becomes a chef?" he said. "You want to know how one learns to be a chef, eh? Well, the answer is, by hard work—nine or ten years of hard work." "The chef," he said, "begins as a boy, as apprentice to a master. For several years he works under the vegetable cook. He learns how to make mashed potatoes that look like white roses, how to cook and arrange all the vegetables, from the truffle down, in a hundred fine and beautiful ways. He gets no salary. He only gets his board. "Now for a year he studies raw meats. He learns how to select them and how to cut them up. He can tell at a glance, for instance, the genuine salt-meadow mutton from the false. Along with this raw meat course also goes a study of fish and of game and of poultry—how to stuff, dress, lard, truss and so on. "Next for a year, at a small salary, he stands before the range, learning how to broil, fry, roast and bake. "He now reaches the foundation of his art and is admitted into the presence of the chef himself—only assistants have taught him so far. The chef teaches him how to make soups, pastries, icees and the more complicated puddings and souffles. Three or four years is none too long a time to study here. "Ten years of hard work should turn a quick apprentice into a good chef. Such a chef without difficulty earns from $25 a week up to $150. If he gave half as much time to the bar, the church, or medicine, he would earn thrice as much." TALKS ON ADVERTISING A new idea has been advanced by a newspaper man in the adjoining state regarding the mail order business. The newspaper man saw a farmer friend of his receiving a set of harness from the freight office, the assignment coming from a Chicago mall order house, and remonstrating with him, attempting to prove that he was making a mistake as many of the local dealers would furnish him with the same or better goods just as cheap, and keep the profits at home. "But this is the first time I have heard there was a harness shop in this town. I have taken your paper for five years and have never seen a line of advertising in it about such an institution in all the time I have been a subscriber. But you see the Chicago house has kept me posted all the time." And there is more truth in the statement than the average merchant dreams of, who fails to let the public know he is in business. It is possible for a woman to be such a particular housekeeper that she doesn't enjoy going out of town on a visit through thinking that some one at home is hanging the dishpan in the wrong place. TENNIS THEWINNINGSTROKE If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without gripping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle. It Happened in Vineland. "Shay, off'sher," the man with the liquid burden remarked to the policeman, "sheal all 'em houses runnin' by?"
