has proved a blessing in disguise.
When he was beaten in 1895 for state
at first cast down. but later he "a
greed tina the defeat was the lucki-
est thing that could have happened
he would have been showed. but
when the next year Congressman
Northway died he was the very man
wanted for the vacancy, Il so
came to Washington to represent
the famous old Garfield district.
by the appointment of Osbourne
as consul-general at London, Dick
became secretary of the republican
national committee, and it is no Sc
cret that he wanted to retain that
office in the 1900 campaign. In fact
when it was taken from him, and
given to Perry Heath. General Dick
was at first exceedingly grieved.
This, too, turned out for the best.
for acting on the advice and re-
quest of President Mckinley. he
took charge of the state campaign.
and wha he did in furtherance
of the great vote the state rolled up
for her favorite. son added naturally
to Dicks prestige. Again in 1903
he cherished the hope of becoming
governor, but once more had to step
aside, seeing that long before the
honor had been promised to Her
rick. AS all his other failures had
apparently proven the way to ulti-
mate victories. he bowed to the in
evitable, and today we see him at
forty-four years of age in possession
of seven years senatorial tenure,
with honor and power much superior
to that of governor. His friends bel
ieve that his luck will never desert
him.

1t wss learned that no other filings
would be made by the state. There
is much dissatisfaction expressed by
those who were in line relative to the
action of the state IN making lane
selections at this time. Many OF th'
filings of the state will likely conflic

Military Encampment.

The members of the military com
pany of ths city will not be without
social and entertainment advantages
at the big encampment near Tacoma
next month. The Young Mems
Christian Association of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho have united
in providing large tents in which an
abundance of good reading matter
will be provided, including the local
papers from the towns from which
the companies go. Free writing ma
terials will also be provided, 80 that
the boys will not need to take any
stationery with them. Band con-
certs and entertainments of various
sorts will probably be arranged,
games will be provided, ice water
will be on tap, and other privileges
will be afforded. Every one of the
four thousand men at the camps will
be welcomed at the Y. M. @. A.
tents, and one OF the best features of
the whole thing is that it costs the
boys not cent. To be sure, it will
cost the association good round
sum, but money will be provided by
business men who know the good
work the associations are doing.
During the militia encampments il
Washington the past two years, the
associations have provided outfits
similar to those being arranged fol
this year, only on a much smalleI
scale, and they we're used to th'
limit. Last year the 700 troops q
the Washington encampment wrot'
over 200 letters day in the Associa
ton tent The encampmenis il
many states have similar outfits, AM
tue army officers welcome them an
give special locations, realizing th
great benefit, to the men.

A Little Fire.

Thursday afternoon the fire 2e-

other department In town-turned
out in response to an alarm which
was turned in. The blaze was found
to be in the Peters barn, now occu-
pied by L. G. Wisdom, in East Wei
ser, but was extinguished before the
fire laddes arrived. The fire is said
to be the result of some boys who
had secreted themselves there to
smoke the deadly cigarette. Very
fortunately it was discovered and ex-
tinguished in the nick OF time, as
the wind was blowing fiercely and
nearby dwellings, and other buildings
would have been destroyed.

DER MOUNTAIN ROAD.

These gentlemen will caA upon the
business men of the city and it is
hoped that all will respond literally,
as upon the construction of this road
depends the question of whether
Weiser shall continue the gateway to
Thunder Mountain and receive the
benefits to be derived from the large
passenger and freight traffic that will
pass through our city, or allow it to
90 by some other route and some other
place get the benefits. II carried
through it will be the means of es
tablishing large jobbing houses in
our city that will secure the trade of
that section, and mining men will
make their homes here and operate
their mines from here, and in divers
ways We will be benefited. In ad-
diuon to this it is the only practl-
cable route to that section, and the
only one that can be used at all sea-
sons Of the year, and besides is u
miles nearer railroad communication
than any other route.
1t is desired that work begin as
soon as possible, that it may be com
pleted before winter, in order tha
the large amount of machinery ano
supplies awaiting transportation t.
the camp may be taken in over th'
road before snow falls.
1t IS estimated the cost of build
ing the road from Warren to Soutl
Fork will be about $4,000; of thi
amount Weiser is expected to con
| tribute about $500, the remainde
to be contributed by Warren, Coun
Gil and Meadows. Mr.. Eldredge

There is Colorado party at Re-

while we do not know their names,
we feel that il general appearances
and equipment counts for anything,
Warren will acquire some very prac-
