AFTER mr.. CAKE
HIS SENATORIAL POSSIBILITIES
RUNS AMUCK MR.. M'CANN.
Now Mr. McCann Would Gust Mr..
Cake and Tom Richardson From
Development League.

Mr.. II. M. Cake, of Portland, iden-
titled with the Oregon Development
League, aspires to represent Oregon
in the United States senate. This as
piration has landed solar plexis
elsewhere, with the result that one
Richard McCann, also of Portland,
lassoes the idea that it is not doing
the Oregon Development League any
good to have Cake and Tom Richard
son longer on its membership roll, if
for no other purpose than politically.
McCann sends lot of literature on
the subject to the Press for publica-
tion which sizes up the situation from
his point of view, at least. Under a
nicely worded scarehead, under Port
land date line, with Especial CORES
pondence" in parenthesis, he is catch
ing many of the country papers with
this
Considerable indignation has been
aroused in commercial circles here by
the attempt to use the Oregon De-
velopment League as a political ma
chine. According to the secretary
and treasurer of the league enormous
sums every year have been used in the
work of exploiting the resources of the
state. Just the exact amount OF this
large sum OF money is not known but
in an interview in the Oregonian ON
February Z, Mr.. Tom Richardson, the
secretary and treasurer, states that
$500 year is mere bagatelle
compared to the amount annually ex-
pended.
''The Oregon Development League
has upward of 100 branches through
out the state of Oregon, and its mem
bers feel that Mr.. H. M. Cake and Mr..
Richardson should have first severed
their connection with the league be-
fore Mr.. Cake announced his candi-
dacy for United States senator There
are in the league many democrats,
prohibitionists, and others of indie
pendent political principles. They
resent the appropriation of their
efforts and money for the furtherance
of the campaign OF any individual. 1t
Il
is likely that all the branch organic
ations throughout the state will
promptly condemn the attitude of Mr..
H. M. Cake and adopt resolutions de-
claring that his candidacy puts the
Oregon Development League in false
light and demanding that he resign.
'There is in Portland considerable
dissatisfaction at the course of the
lawyer and the Indications are that he
has launched a boomerang that
in its rebound will brush him abso.
lutely from the political field"
Admitting there may be shortage
on knowledge in the rural districts as
to how things are lined up down be-
low," nevertheless, we'll take long
shot at Mr.. McCann by saying that
personally, Cake and Richardson are
very well liked up this way and rank
high as developers, and If the former
can develop his way into the United
States senate over Mr.. McCann's veto
be will prove to be an improvement
over certain frauds OF developers
who have been there before.

PLEASED WITH ATHENA.

Meeting Here the Best In History of tn Q
Sunday school Association.
at the close of the convention held
in this city Thursday and Friday by
the Umatilla Sunday School associa-
tion, Mrs. Stephen A. Lowell of PEN
dleton, was unanimously reelected
president of the association, Mrs. A..
]. Owen of the same city was elected
secretary, and Miss Eva Belts of Pilot
Rock, treasurer.
Forty-five schools of the county
we're represented aud total of 81 del
egates outside of Athena registered
during the session, and 20 registered
from this place. Visiting delegates
were enthusiasticall appreciative of
the hospitality shown them by the
people of Athena. Relative to the
good feeling toward Athena, as evi-
denced by the visiting members of the
association, the East Oregonian says:
The returning delegates from the
Sunday School convention, which has
Just closed at Athena, bring back one
unanimous, spontaneous chorus of
praise for the unstinted, the unbound
ed hospitality of that lovely town.
The splendid fraternity which ac-
tuated the people of that place during
this convention, and indeed, at all
other times is one of the treasures of
Umatilla county, one Of the jewels of
the west.
Instead of going among strangers,
the delegates say the visit to Athena
was more like visit to an old home.
There was no cold formality, no per-
functory greetings, but warm, genu-
inc, spontaneous welcome written
everywhere and spoken everywhere.
Such meeting as this, at Athena
and elsewhere in the county,
are the bonds which keep us in touch
the hailing signs by which we know
and recognize the human element in
the world which is devoting too many
of its waking and sleeping hours to
| commercialism.

in AN OPEN FIELD
STEPHEN. A. LOWELL WOULD
BE SENATORIAL CANDIDATE
Would Obey Wish of People in Sc
lecting Senator and Favors
Pledging of Candidates

While in Portland last week
Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton, said
to the Portland Journal:
81 am not yet candidate for
United States senator, but may be-
come one am here to look over the
field and / shall not decide definitely
whether to enter the race until after I
return to Pendleton and consult with
my friends.
II am not going into the fight un
less can feel that l can get my share
of the vote in Multnomah county.
This is where the heaviest vote is cast
and where the vote is most readily
gotten out. believe can carry the
state outside of this county, aud if !
could split even here with the candi-
dates already in the field or with any
new candidates that may appear
think | would get the nomination.
Judge Lowell recognizes the senti-
ment in tavor of giving the senator
ship to Multnomah county, but does
not look upon it as necessarily bar to
his ow candidacy.
"There is undoubtedly a strong
undercurrent here in favor of having
a Multnomah man for senator" be
said, and it Multnomah can get to-
gether and agree on either of the can
dldates now in the field or ON any one
else, would probably keep out. But
if the field is open. regardless OF the
locality from which the candidates
come, shall be disposed to become :
candidate. l am much tlattered by
the assurance of support / have re
ceived from republicans of this coun
ty." .8
Judge Lowell expects to return t
Pendleton this evening and will prob
ably decide the question of becoming
senatorial candidate early next week
In discussing the direct primary law
be expressed the belief that the mex
legislature will "obey the command
of the people within party lines" ii
the election of senators. Judge Low
1 ell believes that no legislator shoul(
be expected to vote for senatorial eau
didate of opposite political faith, but
with this qualification he should hav,
every legislative candidate pledg,
himself to observe the peoples choice
"Whoever receives the republican
votes at the polls next June should re-
4 eeive the republican votes in the legis
lature in January, and whoever re
ceives the democratic votes in Jun
should have the democratic votes il
January" he remarked. "That,
think, is the real spirit of the direc
primary law"
Judge Lowell is well know
throughout the state. He was ap
pointed to the circuit bench in 1879
by Governor Lord, and year late
he was elected to the same position
for the regular six years term. Fl
has not since then been a candidat
for election to judicial office.

Phanomenal Rirths.

The Cotton, Idaho, Chronicle tells
of the following phenomenal case
"Last week we reported the birth of
a son to MIR. and Mrs. VIM. Rush in
this city, and this week we have to
amend it and report the birth of
twins, the boy being born ON Monday,
January 30, and the girl on Tuesday
night, Feb. 1st. Both children are
doing nicely and while the mother has
been dangerously i'll we are glad to
announce her as now out Of danger.
This is the most curious case we
have ever heard of and one but sell
dom met with in medical circles.
These children were born four days
apart and the birthday Of one falls in
January and the other in February
and yet in way, they may we called
twins"

Brunton Postmaster Again.

Announcement Of the appointment

of the Office has given good satisfac-
tion, the efficiency Of the service hav-
ing been improved, while the volume
of business has greatly increased. Mr..
Brunton has been almost lifelong

Thugs Broke Jail.

Two men arrested Sunday by Deputy
Sheriff. Brynes at Wallula have es-
capped. On their persons were found
high explosives and burglars tools.
It is thought they robbed the Waits
burg postoffice. They escaped from
the Jail while awaiting the departure
of the midnight train to Walla Walla.
The Jail is very insecure affair of
logs. From appearances they received
assistance from someone on the out
side, as heavy piece of iron was
found near the building. The prison
ers were still at large at last reports.
Nearby towns have been notified aud
a thorough search is under way. 1t
is thought they went in the direction
of PasCO.

Cole and Proebstel.

DIR. w. q. Cole of Pendleton, has
announced his candidacy for the re-
publican nomination for joint senator

he will be the party's candidate. Ex-
Senator @. w. Proebstel of Weston,
Saturday afternoon filed bis petition
for the nomination as state senator
from Umatilla couny, to be voted for
at the coming primary nominations.

HALF A MILLION TREES.
Fruit Growers Will be Exceedingly Ac-
tive In Yakima valley.

Fruit Growers Will be Exceedingly Ac-
tive In Yakima valley.
81 estimate that 500, 900 fruit trees
will be planted in Yakima county
this year." said J. M. Brown, fruit in
spector of Yakima county. Last
year there were approximately 300,-
900 trees set out and the year previous
225,000. Each year has witnessed u
gain over the preceding one for q
mum ber of years until now the trees
to be planted have reached the half
million mark. Nearly all varieties of
fruit are represented, but the apple
trees far outnumber the others.
Pears and peaches are next iu order,
with plums and cherries following.
Better profits are obtained from the
apples which accounts for the trees of
this fruit being in the majority. More
cherry trees will be planted this year
than formerly. Last year one fruit
man netted 500 from three cherry
trees, while his profit from the three
trees the previous year was $40.
eff nothing unforeseen occurs be-
tween now and picking time l believe
that the fruit crop this year will be
three times grefter than last year.
Whether as high prices are obtained
this year as last depends upon the croI
in other sections of the country. Last
year the crop was short in nearly
every fruit growing section of the
country and North Yakima did moi
have the crop of former years. This
year l anticipate bumper crop and
good prices.

Don't polish the nails too highly.
They should have only natural gloss
Don't cut the nails In points, but care

BY resting for half an hour in dark
room and placing over the eyes bit
of old linen which has been saturated
with rose water the eyes will be rested

Thin arms should be washed twice

well, dried thoroughly and then rubbed
vigorously. This treatment will bring

stains will disappear and the skin

The Wife who Is Her Husbands

Marriage isn't set of rules. 1t is

Of the two people who enter into 1t.
There are homes that seem Of deadly
dullness, fit to drive any man abroad.
There are women whose daily conver-
sation consists Of nothing but COM
plant about servants and housekeeping
and nerves and the press of engage
ments and disappointing dressmakers,
complaints Of lack of money or COM
plants of the strain Of shopping with
It. There are women who are too abb
sorbed In their children to consider the
chlldren's fathers, women who have no
knowledge Of their husbands business
lives beyond the fact that those hus-
bands forget the commissions given
them In the morning and are too tired
In the evening to want to go out any
where, scathing fact which somehow
initiates against man. And there are
women, larger class perhaps than all
OF these, good, unselfsh, loving, who

The wife who Is her husbands com

greatest factors In keeping him always
hers, that of being friends with him,
in being truly interested in all he does
and plans and wishes for and having
the comrade sense of humor that can
always laugh at his Jokes and make
merry by the way instead of taking
account of everything with terrible
seriousness. II you can smile openly
with him at his fancy for another and
even tease him little about IT, the
fancy Isn't likely ever to amount to
very much. What is forbidden Is, we
know, always more tempting. Many
