PARTY TRADITIONS
MAY NOT HOLD GOOD THIS
YEAR IN OREGON.
Eastern Oregon May Put Candidate
In Field to Oppose Port
land Aspirants.

Portland, March 5.-Gossip in po.
litical circl. still centers on the cues.
tion whether another republican can.
didate for United States senator is to
appear to contest with Jonathan
Bourne and H. M. Cake for the party
endorsement in the coming primaries.
In the opinion of some of the wise
ones, the time is extremely auspicious
for new competitor, whether he be
from Portland or from some other
part of the state.
1t has been one of the cherished
traditions of the party leaders that
Portland must name one of the two
senator's, and that in consideration of
the recognition of this cloim eastern
Oregon should be permitted to name
the congressman from the second dis
trict. In the present campaign
eastern Oregon has put forward three
republican candidates for congress
man, in the evident expectation that
the old tradition would be observed
and that no Portland candidate would
be in the field.
But within the last few days George
S. Shepherd of Portland has SHE'D his
castor into the ring and has stepped
forth am avowed candidate for the
congressional nomination. Shepherd 8
advent cannot but be disturbing to
the candidates already in the field,
and it may have an influence on the
senatorial fight as well. Shepherd is
member of the present city council,
an attorney. and has a considerable
circle of acquaintance. If he should
develop strength enough to become
formidable competitor for the congress
sional nomination it is quite on the
cards that the republican leaders
in the eastern part of the district may
feel moved to reprisal by putting for
ward some candidate for senator.
When Judge Stephen A. Lowell
came from Pendleton a week ago to
look over political conditions in Port
land it was with the avowed intention
of becoming candidate provided the
prospects proved encouraging. At
that time be found the local senti-
ment srong in favor of the proposition
that Portland must have the senator,
and, as republicans in other parts of
the state were then inclined to con
cede this claim, Judge Lowell came to
the conclusion that he would not run.
There is always more or less polite
al jealousy of Portland in other parts
of the state. aud if this city should
appear to be trying to get both the
senator and the congressman enough
opposition might be engendered to
give an outside senatorial candidate
some prospect of winning. Judge
Lowell might possibly reconsider his
decision, or if not some new man
might enter the running. The rumor
is still current that another Portland
man may enter the field, but no one
is able to say who it will be-

Will Not Assess Mortgages

Mortgages will not be listed for
taxation in Spokane county this year,
as had been announced recently.
The deputy assessors who started out
on the tour OF the city were instructed
to that effect. It is claimed that one
of the reasons given is that there are
doubts as to the legality of such an
assessment on the grounds of creating
double taxation. 1t is also argued that
the enforcement of the law would
work hardship on those who it is
intended to help, as the borrower
would be compelled to pay the tax in
addition to the regular interest. All
property, real and personal, is to be
assessed at 60 per cent of it's actual
value.

A DOPE FIEND STOLE
TO APPEASE APPETITE

Bob Lock hardt, dope fiend, was
arrested in Athena Friday afternoon,
spent the night in the city bastile and
Saturday morning was bound over by
Justice Chamberlain in the sum of
$3.50 on the charge of petit larceny.
Lockhardt and woman, whom he
claims to be his wife drove up flom
Pendleton Tuesday. The man shortly
after his arrival here evidently washed
his hands in glue pot, for every
thing he touched adhered to his
fingers. Friday he dropped into the
telephone Office and lifted" an orna-
mented ash tray. His reflection on
the bright trimmings of the transmit
ter in front of the telephone girl gave
his act away, and she informed Man
ager Stone, who swore out warrant
for the fellows arrest.
Officers found him and the woman
coiled up in a bunk at China joint
near Clemons' chop mill. A search of
the joint brought forth the stolen tray
and also pair of chaps that had been
taken from the Commercial livery
stable. A wig, woolen cloth and
an automatic revolver were also
found, which would indicate that in
event holdup prospect was in sight
the trick could be successfully turned.
The womanswas badly frayed speci-
men of humanity and gave every in
dication of being in the last stages of
the drug habit.
A search of the baggage of the pair
resulted in the discovery of enough
opium to put the whole city of Hong
Kong into siesta for forty days and
nights.
Lockhardt comes of good family.
His father owned the first hardware
store in Athena. E. r. Cox purchased
his store away back in the sos and
the family removed to California.

WALLA WALLA READY
WITH A BALL TEAM

Talk of "Yellow Kid" ball team
in Athena this year sounds good to
Walla Walla, according to the Even
ing Bulletin, which says:
It has been officially announced that
the Walla Walla baseball club will
have its opening game on Sunday,
April /, with Athena. Communica-
tion has been received from the man.
ager of that club saying that it will
put ball team on for the coming
season under the name of the Famous
Yellow Kids" which were in the
field three years ago.
This is looked upon by local sports
as being great drawing card as
Athena has always put the fastest
bunch of ball tossers out that has ever
been in the Inland Empire.
Manager Dan Lankard will COM
mence practicing on March l8, and
expects to have one of the fastest
amateur teams that Walla Walla has
had an opportunity of seeing. The
team will be composed as follows:
Tempany, Blackburn. Rydle, Tachi,
Marion, McCool, Croker, Dunovan,
Fisher, Buchet,' Magson.
1t is evident that Walla Walla is in
the baseball going for sure this year
and takes it for granted that Athena
will be there with the goods, also.
Base ball in Athena this season is yet
an unsettled question. There are
several good players here. but the
matter of grounds and funds to start
the team is being talked over and def
mite action will perhaps be taken this
week.

sheepmen win Fight.

The Walla Walla Bulletin sa US II.
@. Bryson received information this
afternoon from the government animal
industry department at Washington,
D. O., that the contention between
the sheepmen of Washington and the
Wool Growers Association of Una
tilla county, Oregon, had been de-
cided in favor of the sheepmen OF
this state, The Wool Growers Asso-
citation contended that sheep could not
be driven across government reserves
and the decision of the department is
adverse to this contention, but applies
to sheep for grazing purposes only and
not those that are being taken to
market or for other purposes.

WOOL SALES DATES SET.
The Entire Wool Product viii Go Into
Open Competition.

The EntiIe Wool Product viii Go Into
Open Competition.
The wool sales dates for Eastern
Oregon have been decided upon as
follows:
Pendleton. May %, 90, June s;
Heppner, May 25, June s, June 2s
Condor, May 30, June 81; Shaniko,
May 81. June /, June 10 and 20 and
July 10; Wallula, June 12, June 80; /;
Baker City, June IA, July IL.
On these dates practically all of the
wool of Eastern Oregon will be sold,
as all of the dealers have decided not
to make any advance sales to the
buyers This means that all wool of
Oregon must this year be bought iu
open competition at the different sales
days. The Umatilla County Wool
growers Association has decided to
test the validity of the migratory
stock law of Oregon at the earliest
possible opportunity. Judge Ellis de-
clared the law unconstitutional some
time ago. The case will be again
tried and the law if defective will be
remedied. This is law which
places a tax on all sheep brought into
the state for grazing purposes from
the outside.
Affidavits will also be forwarded to
the Interior department showing that
Oregon sheepmen were unjustly treat
ed in the redivision of the Wenaha
reserve. An effort will be made to
enlist the aid of the Portland and Pen
dleton Commercial clubs in Umatilla
county's fight.
