TURNER,
MEHAMA

J. NJ. Watson and Frank Robertson
Of Turner were in the city today, and
expressed themselves as very much in
favor Of an electric railroad from Ss.
lem TO Turner, and on up the Santiam
valley. They say it is the only prac-
teal outlet the people of all those
towns have TO come to the Capital
city TO trade. All the Linn county
people who live up that way would
naturally gravitate TO Salem, and the
line would run through paying ter
rito1y all the way. Population is null
Iplying very fast and the crops of
fruit, dairy products, fuel and all
kinds Of produce that could be hauled
are immense. The proposition is a
good one and will be taken up at the
next session Of the Willamette Valley
League. A committee
has been appointed 10 investigate the
territory and see what it has TO offer.

CANDIDATE FOR SPEAKER.
Many Names suggestSi-Mnltnomah
Probably Gets Presidency Of
Senate.

Considerable interest is being shown
in different parts of the STATE over tho
election Of speaker of the house and
president Of the senate Of the next
Legislature. For speaker there are
three avowed candidates: Frank Dsvey,
Of Marion county; Jas. U. Campbell, Of
Claekamas county, and W. l. yawter,
Of jackson county. II is believed that
Mr.. Davey will have the united sup
port Of Marion county, ami that Mr..
Campbell, being a joint representative
for Clacksmas and Mul'nomah eoun-
ties. viii have. the united support Of
the delegations Of these two counties.
Portland viii have a candidate, and
probably two. for president Of the sen.
ate, and viii be content With that Office
and honor, and will be willing 10 con-
eede the speakership to Caelsmas or
possibly Marion, in the event Mr..
Davey comes into the Legislature with
considerable strength from the valley
counties.
Mr.. Campbell has for number OF
years been one Of the heusenants Of
George C. Brownell, who was defeated
in the recent election and it Is safe
10 assume that he can have whatever
influence Mr.. Brownell may be able to
command. And his most bitter enemy
will admit that the Buownell influence
in Oregon Politics is not yet dead.
Dan J. Malarkg, hOldover senator
from MultDonah county, is probably
the most proniaent candidate for pres
ident Of the senate. C. W. Hobson.
also hOld-over from the same county.
Is also a candidate. So Is n. wheAldou,
Of Wssoo county.
