NO HOPE BUT IN A BETTER ELE-
MENT

The return of Brownell and Porter
seems inevitable from Claokamfs county.
The press OF both parties down there ia
muEzlsd and the opposition seems in
capable of ;getting their record before
the people.
The better elements OF the Republi'
can party stand paralyEed in that county
in the presence Of irothy demagogs who
are ready TO advocate amy measure or
pass any bill that is water on their mill.
The opposition in that county hes
long since ceases to be any opposition
when il fell under the malign inau-
snce OF U'Ren who has been hand in
glove with the corporation and Doodle
Republicans.
The opposition had votes enough 10
the last legislature TO have put up an
effective fight against nearly every bad
measure. Bat beyond get ~ theil
solid vote for himself for senator their
leader, Windy Bill Smith Of Baker county
seemed TO have no interest in tho stat,
affairs.
The Democrats aud Populists scatter
cd like sheep without shepherd among
the wolves OF the Repu blican senatoria
factions. The State today has no hop,
OF reforms but from the decent Repub-
licans.
II halfway decent Republicans and
the few decent ones left In that party
will assert themselves aud sweep Brown
ellism and all reckless sans-coulolte pol
iticians by the board there 10 some hop,
OF lower taxes,
BroWnell with decent influences
around MIN will do no harm. La the
senate when Simon, Selling, Bates
HaEeltlne aud that stripe OF business
men predominated, both Brownell an,
Fulton made good rycords.
But the decent Republicans Of ClAcka-
mas are like their new WApapers, muAEled
aud bound hand aud foot In the thall-
dom OF yeneered mobism-the ignorant
and meFoenary seem 10 be in the major
ity and OlAokamas will pay yet higher
taxes.
With about half the valuation OF Ma

Denies BOWing
to a Bovine

Geo Weeks, widely known as dairy
man, apparently lie led to perform ex-
trayagant acts through his enthusiasm
Tor his line Of business. On last Sunday
he accompanied J. 7. Jones, travelling
passenger agent Of the S. p. Co., to the
farm of the latter near Salem. Mr.. Jones
had purchased some choice dairy cows
from Mr.. Weeks, and they had gone out
TO see them. While crossings a log over
Mill Creek Mir. Jones was following his
guest and was greatly surprised to see
him, when in the middle OF the log, sud
denly bow with hat in hand, aud in his
confusion step into the stresm Of cold
water several feet in depth. In the feli
opposite was one OF the cows which for
merly belonged to Mr.. Weeks, and il
would appear to most observers that il
was in admiration Of this COW that Mr.
Weeks was bowing. In explaining the
accident, however, Mr.. Weeks denied
being polite 10 that extreme, aud blames
the wind for the accidental lifting Of his
head gear, which unbalanced him and

BATTLE
FOR THE
CANNERY
Is Again on Before Judge
Boise.
How the HOlcOmb Tried tC
Freeze out the Aliens.

The suit to obtain control Of the Allen
Packing establishment Of this city, en-
titled a suit for accounting, in which w
X. and o. V. Allen are suing the Allen
Packing Company, was set for hearing
today before Judge Boise.
The PLAINTIFF own one half interest In
the establishment the remainder being
in the hands of G.. w. andS. +. Hol-
comb and f. T.. UoOley. The lat er
three are also stockholders in the Oregon
Packing Company Of Portland and ap.
parently their object was to suspend the
business Of the Salem industry in order
TO build up the Portland concern.
Among the allegations against the de
| PENDANTS il is related that credit
of 500 per month for several
months was placed upon the books OF
the Allen Company TO the Oregon Com
pany, for the services Of g. w. Hoicomb
as manager. During all this time, said
| Holcomb was receiving a salary from
! the Oregon Company and the plants OF
! the Allen Company were not in opera
| ton. Besides q manager had been Sc
cured at $75 per month and the other
sum was declared exorbitant. Holcomb
also pretended to loan various sums to
the Allen Company unknown to the
plaintiffs, and placed upon the books to
the credit OF the Ore gou Company, sums
aQgrepating $780, 900. That Holcomb and
Dooley caused the Allen Company tO
use such sums TO purchase fruit and 10
act az the purchasing agent OF the Ore
gon Company In various towns through
the valley, and allowed them
no nav for their services. On
the sums advanced 10 buy
these fruits, the Aliens were charged s
per cent per annum.
In September, 1901, a promissOry note
for $45, 900, was executed to the Or
egon Co. by the Aliens, giving, all the
property OF the Allen Co in Marion
county as security. All the considera-
tion, received for this note amounted
TO $4,000.
Seven carloads Of merchandise valued
at Sl5, 900 was shipped from the Allen
Co., to the Oregon Co, iol
which no credit was given.
The Allen plants we're not allowed to
run and all fruits purchased by them
we're shipped 10 Portland at a loss o
$4,000 to the plaintiffs.
The defendant often had chances L
|, sell the goods Of the Allen company bn
instead sold that of the other company
and have also changed the labels OF th'
companies for the benefit for the Port
land company thereby damaging the
Allen company in the sum OF $4,000
All the abave acts being done TO injure
the Allen company and benefit th
Oregon Co,
All the material allegations giveI
above were denied by the defendants b.
their attorneys, Carey & Mays, aud tn
trial is apt to consume copsiderabl
time.
The Allen Canning Company has beef
: Of great service TO the fruit grower
around Salem, aud great interest |
shown in the case as It's closing wonl
mean that the large quantities OF fruit
raised here would either have tob
shipped or lost.

THE LIEU LAND CONTROVERSY.

TnE JoURNAJ has printed nothing
about the Bushey-Geer lieu land coniro'
versy because there was nothing new
about the whole matter.
This paper charged years ago that
state funda we're being loaned to banks
for private gain. II took a court decls-
ion TO finally settle that.
This paper has charged that federal
and state administrations were helping
along, or at least not stopping, forest
land and school land steals. II has new
or secured any attention to the matter.
In time the matter may be stopped
but IL will be when there is no money to
be made by stealing land, when there
is nothing Ia II for those who steal and
grab lands aud nothing in It for the pol
itcians.
