Good Deal of Free Advertising.

Judge PEBBLES is still getting a good
deal of free advertising which is fol-
lowing in the wake of his famous Hay
wood Skinner fiasco. We don't know
the Judge personally but we have
had some doubts about his standing
since the radicals put him on their
State ticket to fill it out two years ago.

A special from La Grande to Oregon
ian says:
Articles Of incorporation have been
filed for the Oregon & Idaho Short Line
Railroad Company, with X W. Baxter,
+. S. Stanley and aud IL. I. Hendryx
incorporatnrs.
The objects of this company are to
construct and operate n railroad from a
point on the Columbia River accessible
TO river steamboats,, through the lower
John Day coal district, via Condon, Eos
sill aud the great wheat belt bordering
the Blue sMountain range, aud ultimate.
~ connecting with the Oregon Short
Line ut or near Nampa. Idaho.
This project offers needed transporta-
tion for the coal interests which are be-
coming famous on the Lower John Day.
1t Is also very feasible aud short route
for the o R.& N. to reach the Columbia
River after leaving the Snake, without
crossing any drainage system,as the line
would follow the basin II the John Day
to low gap opening into the Burnt River
basin, Thus practically circumvpnting the
Blue Mountains and missing the three
high divides now passed over by the o.
II. Il N. at Meacham, Telocaset aud
Pleasant Valley.
The company is acting for Eastern
capitalists, The enterprise has taken
such favorable form that the work Is to
be pressed on the coal deposits.

that the wool growers have secured
better prices by pooling their prodnct
aud that the same will be trne nt the
wheat growers when properly organized.
Their plan OF procedure is as follows:
With the association formed the mem
hers would pool all their wheat or any
part Of their holdings. The association
would then ngte npon u certain day uI-
on which this wheRt would be offered

Umatilla wheat market is controlled by
the export price and it is believed that IL
a large pool was offered for sale at speci-

DID FLETCHER HELP
HEARST'S CAMP PAICN
-sssa-a-r~-p--s7-.aF
Story Goes That Willy Loren
Stood In the Breach For
the Editor

Did Loren Fletcher put in couple
Of thousand dollars to help the Hearst
cause in Minneapolis?
The anti-Hearst Democrats of Hen
nepin county do not hesitate to charge
the Republican ex-congressman with
making a contribution of about two
thousand to the Hearst campaign fund,
and they swear vengeance on Fletcher.
Whether true or not. the motive in
fuencing Fletcher is not hard to find
Congressman John Lind was the head
and front of the anti Hearst movement
in Hennepin; he was supposed to be a
candidate for re-election; he had
aroused some opposition among the
Hearst supporters; Fletcher is a can
didate for the berth which Lind moved
him out of two years ago: he has ap-
parently successfully overcome the
strong opposition in his own party to
his denomination; the only thing that
stands in his way is Lind. Nothing
could be more natural, the knowing
ones say, than a contribution to a
cause which might do" Lind and
make the election of Fletcher possible
in the fall. The anti-Hearst leaders
in Minneapolis say that Fletcher seen
his duty and he done it" They have
no proof; none is possible.
There is more to the story. 1t runs
that Hearst had given up hope of car
rying Minnesota. He had concluded
that the game was not worth the can
die, and he had refused to make fur
ther contributions to the Minneapolis
gentlemen who were in charge Of his
campaign. They were at sea. Then
came Your Uncle Loren's" donation
of $4,000 and the leaders took heart.
They began to make such showing
that day or two before the conven-
ton of last Saturday Mr.. Hearst un-
loosened and the result was that the
campaign in Hennepin ended quite
successfully.
How much is truth and how much is
fiction in the story of Fletcher's con-
nection with the Hearst campaign may
never be known. At all events, results
were doubtless satisfactory to Fletcher.
A close friend of John Lind declares,
supposedly on authority, that Mr..
Lind will refuse to become candidate
for congress in the fall.
