GEER A CANDIDATE.

Governor Geer has finally decided
which office-senator or governor-to
try for, and has announced himself as
a candidate for the latter He evil
IDENTIFY thought that even if he re-
ceived q plurality of votes at the polls
he could not depend on the legisla-
ture to elect him, especially as the
Multromah county members would in
any case insist on man from this
county. The nomination of a senator
at the primaries does net make it le-
gally incumbent on the majority par
tvs members of the legislature to
elect him, as the constitution gives
them full power to elect whomsoever
they please, regardless of any such
implied instructions from the people.
If any man should receive the nami-
nation by large majority of the party
vote, probably no legislator of that
party would have the temerity to vote
against him, but in the case of man
having only a plurality, and that rep
resenting perhaps only third or less
Of the popular vote Of the party, the
nomination might not be considered
binding by many members.
So far senatorial candidates are
scarce. although several Portland men,
and at least one or tHo from Eastern
Oregon, are known to be considering
the question OF trying for the nomina-
ton,
After due consideration of these AMI
ether facts, Mr.. Geer, who thinks him
self entitled to, and exceptionally well
qualified for, either office, concluded
to try for governor, which makes four
avowed candidates in the field-Johns
of Baker. Withycombe of Washington,
and Sehlbrede of Coos, being the other
three.
One thing that is worrying several
candidates for other offices, and the
party workers generally, is SO many
Marion county candidates-six or sew
en-one of them up till recently, G. B,
Moores, having wisely withdrawn.
Certainly voters from other parts Of
the state will not vote for so many
men from that county and the candi-
dacy Of ono or Two of them would be
greatly strengthened by the withdraw
al of the others. It is rumored that
the advent of Ex-Governor Geer into
the list OF candidates is much dis
pleasing to some other Marion county
dSpll d!lt'', "EO WeIe LhVl6 hIoI anu
think he is a "buttinsky" But of
course he had as good right as any
body to come out" and seek the poo
pies support.
Mr.. Geer's administration when gov
ernor before will be attacked severe
ly on several grounds, particularly
with respect to state land affairs, but
he seems to be confident that he can
retain the confidence of the rank and
file of the party. The more Republi-
can candidates the merrier, especially
for Governor Chamberlain.

Empire Tied Up by General Strike
and Food is Scarce.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 23.-With the
strike in force throughout the entire
empire, conditions are again becoming
more and more alarming. While it is
certain that the strike leaders are ab-
solutely opposed TO violence, it begins
to look "a though they would be unable
to control the forces. Famine is the
one thing to he ieared, inasmuch as Il 9
supplies of TODD within the city have
been heavily drawn upon during the
last 80 days, and now that all he out
put of the foodstuffs is at al end,
prices are beginning to az vance and the
common people must certainly suffer.

1t exists. the site has been
selected and the buildings are

BY next fall, when the lraternal
Sanitarium will be opened and
formally dedicated, provisions
will have been perfected for the
reception of 5000 patients, this
number to bc increased indefinite
~ and as rapidly as funds are

all the requirements of the

AWFUL DESTRUCTION.
Thriving Town of Snyder, Indian
Territory, Is Wiped Off the
Face of the Earth,
THE DEATH LIST IS INCREASING.
1t Now Numbers More Than a Hun
dred and Property Damage Ex-
ceeds Half Million.

Snyder, a thriving town of
1000 persons, situated in the
heart of the rich kiowa farming
country in Oklahoma, which was
thrown open to white settlement
i'll 1901, was practically wiped
out of existence 10y a tornado that
struck the place Wednesday
night. Up to l0o'clock Thursday
no estimate of the casualties was
obtainable, owing to the confusion
in the stricken town. Conservative
estimate places the dead at 100
and the seriously injured at $50. it
is believed that a large number of
the injured will die. In "A number
of cases entire families were killed
and in almost every family in the
town some member was injured.
Every house in town, with the
exception of six, is said to have
been either badly wrecked or
demolished. Many of them were
blown away. The havoc wrought
is most complete. The business
portion is reported destroyed.
A dispatch from the stricken
town yesterday says:
1T is estimated that the total
loss of life will be somewhat in
excess of one hundred persons.
Those who have investigated the
matter place the property loss at
not less than half a million dol
lars. These estimates are consid-
cred conservative.
Reports brought in today
from the country which has been
shut off since Wednesday night
by the lack of telegraph facilities
indicate that twenty-five persons
were killed outside of Snyder,
making a possible total of 100.
Notification of the loss of life in
the country will naturally be very
slow.
. "Pitiable scenes of want and
suffering were seen today on all
sides. Much confusion still exists
and last night many who had
lost their all, went hungry and
practically unprotected from the
4 cold. Many bodies remain
unidentified while among the
injured there were dozens who
were suffering from ugly wounds
and broken limbs and who were
without proper attention. The
search of the wreckage for more
victims still continues. The most
serious phase of the situation to-
day was the necessity of the inn
mediate housing of the homeless
and the providing of medical care
for the injured. This is being
done as rapidly as possible. To
day dozens of funerals will occur

victims of "Wednesday night
