al has this to say. about A. E.
Reames, of Jackson:
Mr. A. E. Reames Of Jackson
vile stands before the people of the
first congressional district as cam.
.didate.. Perhaps it is not about a
throne that beats the fercest light.
In our American life, we have es-
Etablished the principle that, when
men aspire to public honors, they
must bring clean characters, in the
first place; and high abilities in the
second.
In this present issue, these con-
|siderations weigh in favor of the
Jacksonville man. T. is to his credit
that, in the. brilliant glare of a
candidates conspicuity, he meas
ures up to every requirement, so
fully and adequately as to enlist
the most loyal and enthusiastic sup
port from one end of the district to
the other.
The Journals advices are that
the Jacksonville man is such as
may we'll cause Oregonians to swell
somewhat with pride, fo- he is a
native product, born and bred
among the bills of Southern Ore
gon, and imbued with the spirit of
one VINO owns this state as his
patria.
His knowledge of men and affairs
has been gained during the success
full prosecution of his life's work as
i lawyer, and in no small partici-
tpation in public concerns. He
comes before the electorate with a
career that is like an open book.
His followers are going into the
smallest details asto his life and
work and they are finding new ma
EteIial every day for renewed loyalty
and admiration.
It is gratifying to present him as
the ideal type of the young Ameri-
can, vigorous, manly, mentally en-
Edowed aad cultivated, with that fine
tenthuaiasm that attracts the voter
Ito his standard.
The Journal believes that his can
didacy will meet with high favor
throughout this district. His nomi-
nation was secured at no expense Of
petty manipulation and left no
lsores to his fellow aspirants.. They
fendolse his selection. They will
lend their assistance in the conduct
of vigorous campaign, and, as the
days passed, it will be found that
the gallant young native son of Or
Logon has appesled successfully to
the intelligepcs and regard of the
first district voters.
Portland, April 18.-The effect of
the 1905 fair is already beginning
to manifest itself in advanced de-
mand for houses, and increased Of
fers Of rentals. The Oregonian
|says:
| Parties have been around this
week on the East Side working
some sort of scheme to get control
of all the renting houses until after
the close of the Lewis and Clark
i Exposition. Charles Bartel said
yesterday that he was offered $40 a
month above what he is now re
ceiving for his houses, if he would
give lease on the houses until af-
ter the Fair. He declined the offer.
The same parties also went to
Mrs. Hanley Fl. Holmes and sew
cal others on the East Side with
about the same kind of an offer.
! Mr.. Bartel saws that it looks to
him as if scheme is being worked
| so that control can be secured of all
lodging and renting houses before
the Fair opens, and then those Sc
curing the leases would be able to
put any sort of a price on the apart
ments thus secured. He made in
quiries around among his neigh
/ bors and found that many owners
| of renting houses had been ap-
preached on the subject this week.
| In every case very favorable offer
is made in the way of large ad-
vance over the rent now being re-
ceived.
