Hon. F. N. Currier.

Sachem Daley and his braves came
forth from their tepees today and
skirmished the democratic reservation
over in the hope of rounding up couple
of courageous gentlemen who would file
for the nomination for representative.
1t will be recalled that at the county
convention three candidates for the
states law-making body were named.
These were H. o. Thompson of CerescO,
James McLauhlin of Mapleton and
Henry Schultz of Limetown. Mr. Thomp-
son has filed but the other two have
passed up the honors rendered them so
freely by the delegates. 1t was with
the understanding that a full legislative
ticket should be put in the field that
S. d. Works consented to accept the
nomination for state senator. The dem
ocrats must make good, and that is the
reason why the braves. were out today
trying to induce couple of unsuspect-
ing victims to file for the legislature.
Toward noon the scouts reported that
they hoped to land their prey.

Among those who were importuned to
become candidate for Minnesota's low
er house was Hon. I. M. Currier, who
has served in the capacity of a legislator
and knows the tricks of the trade from
A to Z. Mr.. Currier listened patiently
to the arguments produced by his callers
and when they had concluded with their
oratory he politely but firmly announced
that their candidate he could not be. 1t
is agreed on all sides that Mr.. Currier
would make an acceptable representa-
tive notwithstanding the fact that he is
at the present time something of a ''po-
litical orphan" Mr.. Currier has made a
careful study of the railroad rate prop
osition and his knowledge of what is
needed along that line would be helpful
to lawmakers.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE WILL BOOM OREGON


Inc foliowing striking editorial from
the Womans journal OF BOSTON, on
the SITUATION IN oregon ana the nope
OF great industrial activity Following
the adoption OF the equal suffrage
amendment Is an Illustration OF the
attention now directed toward this
staet. The journal says:
One OF the most striking effects of
equal suffrage for women in the states
growth of population and material
prosperity which has resulted. In
Idaho women vote, and within a week
we have been told that several new
lines of railroad are about to be con-
structed.
Wyoming granted equal suffrage to
women with less than 5000 inhabi-
tants; today it has over 10000. wy
oming, Colorado and Idaho combined
had only 24T,726 inhabitants in 1880;
today, with woman suffrage, they
number more than a million.
Many people in the east and middle
west are annually driven by the ad-
vancing wave of immigration to make
their homes farther west. In their
choice Of residence they are attracted
by the fact that equal suffrage has
been adopted. That speaks well for
the liberality and chivalry of the men,
and for the intelligence and public
spirit of the women.
A decadent community has no use
for a movement to enlarge liberty and
promote free institutions When peo-
pie read that eight per cent OF the
voters at the last state election have
demanded and secured by the initia =
tive and referendum the submission OF
suffrage constitutional amendment
next June, they are saying: "Why is

change OF her staples for sugar tea.
coffee tobacco, hemp. rice and
spices?
The possibilities Of Portland are not
yet fully appreciated. San Francisco
on the south, Seattle and Tacoma on
the north have been more extensively
advertised. and have achieved a wider
notoriety. Yet the intermediate local
ity in the Columbia river valleys may
prove in the long run more available.
New York, on the Hudson river. was
once smaller city than Boston or
Philadelphia, yet 1t has surpassed
them both.
The soil and climate of oregon give
Portland great advantages. Free from
drought and dust, blessed with an
equable temperature at all seasons, 1t
Is capable OF supporting a great farm
ing population, and Portland, as Its
business and social center. may yet
become the metropolis OF the, Pacific
coast.
Oregon Is exceptionally fortunate In
the quality of its people. They have
not been suddenly drawn to It by the
greed OF precious metals or the excite-
ment of speculation. Its early set
tiers. like the Scots and the Duni-
ways, were adventurous pioneers who
preceded the introduction Of railroads.
These men and women crossed the
desolate plains and mountain ranges
in wagons with OK teams, rifle In
hand, guarding their families and live
stock against hostile Indians. Their
worth has been shown by the ability
Of their public men and aspiring wo-
men. and by the superior merit Of
their newspapers.
These advantages Of Oregon are be-
ing talked over today in hundreds OF
families east of the Missouri river.
These people are about to decide
whether their future homes shall be
in Kansas, or Nebraska, or Minnesota.
or the Dakotas, or whether they shall
cross the Rockies. And II the latter
whether California or Oregon, or
Washington or British Columbia shall
be their destination. II the oregon
amendment succeeds next June, the
popular choice will be Oregon.

TRUTH ABOUT THE TRAPPER.
IL Not a Picturesque Figure, But a
Ruthless Destroyer OF Game.

w. H. Wright, a grizzly bear hunter
tells about "The Trapper's Real Char
acter" in the Worlds Work. He de-
clares that the trapper of today lacks
every characteristic which romance
has interviewer with his name. He
says:
people who have not seen can
form no idea of the suffering trappers
cause, nor of the ruthless destruction
of game. Nothing escapes them; even
the squirrels are sacrificed to bait
traps for marten and fisher, and not
only the squirrels, but all kinds of
birds, whether game or song birds.
''In trapping mink, otter, beaver
and a few other of the fur-bearing
animals, the trap is nearly always set
near the water where the animal,
when caught, can drown itself, thus
ending its suffering. But with bear,
marten and fisher it is different. The
bear must drag heavy clog about
until 1t catch in some root or bush.
There he must wait until the trapper
comes to kill him, and this in some
cases Is not for days. The bones of
the leg are almost invariably broken
by the trap, and the leg swells to in
credible size"
Mr.. Wright gives many examples of
| the trapper's brutality. He writes:
One trapper in one day shot 10 large
blue grouse, merely TO try new Colts
| rifle. The birds were nesting; he had
no use for them, and not one did he
bring to camp. Three years ago, In
| British Columbia, an old trapper
camped near our bear-hunting party
He shot everything he could find
even little ducks and marmots. A
goat he killed fell over a cliff and, as
1t was harder to recover 1t than tc
shoot another he shot another. He
was trapping beaver out of season
and boasted of having caught one
that was about to become mother.
| 81 have seen the spot where bear
fast in a trap, had been caught fol
more than week In thicket through
which 1t was impossible to make 1t:
way. | once knew an old French
trapper who shot 73 moose and ell
in one winter for bear bait for thu
spring catch. / asked why he killed
so many. He said that he wanted ;
big stink in the spring so as to brinI
the bears around.
"All of the animals he had slaugh
tered for a spring stink were sho
with a revolver, for they were snow
bound and could not escape. He toll
me that he dropped five big elk II
one pile. This frightful destruction b.
trappers has exterminated the game

Through the failure of nominees
for constable and justices OF the peace
to file their acceptances with the
county clerk but three districts in the
county will have those candidates up
on the ballot at the coming election"
said County Clerk Frank Sailing this
morning.
Ever since the close of the recent
primaries the county clerk has been
in trouble through the failure of nom
inees to conform to the law In regard
to filing acceptances. But after much
delay all were found to have taken
the necessary action excepting the
precinct nominees. When the ballot
was turned over to the printer yester-
day 1t was found that Pendleton,
South Milton and North Milton were
the only districts In which the hom-
inees for constable and justice of the
peace had conformed to the law py
filing acceptances, However, in Alta
district, Pilot ROCK the nominee for
So'b'dpie Hdu uoiie so, anu his iidiiie
will appear but not that of the can
didate for justice of the peace.
Under the law all nominees are re-
quired to file their acceptances be-
fore their names may go upon the
ballot. AS this was not done in Yves.
ton, Athena, Echo, Helix, Encamp'
ment and Adams. the precinct ticke
will be left blank for those places.
According to Clerk Sailing sufficien
room will be left on the ballot Sc
that the names of candidates may b,
written in by the voters. He will no
tify all of the delinquent nominees o
the action he has taken, and instruc
them that they will have to look on
for themselves on election day.
