MANY AFTER
FULTON'S 10GA
0regon's Senatorial Fight
Is Warming Up

PORTLAND, June S.-With the
rolling away of the smoke of the mu-
nicipal election, politicians are already
discussing the next event, the choos-
ing of United States senator to sue
ceed Charles w. Fulton.
Unless there is a great change In
be one Of the warInest held in Ore
gon in several years, because of the
number of possible candidates. In the
old days there We're never but two ac-
tive candidates. Under the direct pri-
mary arrangement, with statement No.
l, there will be four and possibly five
seekers of the toga.
Among those mentioned are Senator
Fulton, who wishes to succeed him
self; Frederick Mulkey, who had six
weeks in the senate, and wants to go
back; and H. M. Cake, who was de-
feated by Jonathan Bourne, Jr., last
year. These are the republican aspir-
ants. Then, for the democrats, there
is George S. Chamberlain. Still an
other name mentioned is that of w. s.
U'Ren, father of the initiative and
referendum and other experimental
election laws.
Chief interest centers in the repub-
lican camp, for Chamberlain, if he will
run, will have no opposition from his
party. Senator Fulton has been busy
laying his wires since his return from
WASHINGTON several months ago E,,J-
ton has been visiting various parts Of
the state, getting in touch with the
people, and attending to the prelimn-
aries. Cake was defeated at the pri-
maries last year by such a small
margin that he is said to be anxious
to make ana ather effort. Mulkey has
been losing no time since his few
weeks in Washington.

DAMAGE SUIT AGAINST
CITY OF RiTZVILLE.

RITZVILLE, June S.-Robert Bills
mas commenced suit against the city
of Ritzville in which he prays for $4,000
damages. The complaint, which was
served on Mayor Holcomb last night,
alleges that the city maintains dump
ing ground adjoining his farm and res
idcnce property and that 1t permits
the hauling of dead animals there,
many of which remain unburied for
days at a time. He alleges that the
practice is detrimental to the health
of himself and family and that he has
been damaged to the extent of at least
$4,000.

EXPORT BUSINESS QUIET.
No Vessels Loading Out Of Coast Ports
at Present.


TACOMA, June S.-For the first time
in several years there are no grain
vessels loading at Tacoma, Seattle.
Portland or San Francisco. The de-
parture of the French bark Eugene
Fautrel from this port with wheat for
the United Kingdom cleaned up the
Puget Sound grain fleet. The Portland
fleet was cleaned up some time ago,
and the departure of the French bark
Rene last week from San Francisco
cleared that port of grain ships. At
these three ports there are now no
vessels under engagement to load grain
either old or new crop.
1t is owing to the uncertainty Of
crops and the probable supply of yes
sells for the new season that this con-
dition exists. Little business has been
done for new crop handling. and it is
more than probable that the larger
part of the foreign trade will be done
on a spot basis.

United Metal Trades Assn,
Organizes al Portland

PORTLAND, June S.-With Portland
as permanent headquarters, the metal
manufa cturers of the leading Pacific
coast cities have formed the United
Metal Trades association of the Pacific
coast. About 20 delegates from many
cities have been holding meetings in
the Portland hotel this week and on
Tuesday perfected organization. w. H.
Corbett of Portland was unanimous
ly elected president, and c. NJ. Gum
was elected secretary.
The association was organized for
protection against union employees, and
its annual meeting will be held in
Portland every April, the exact date
to be announced later states the Ore
gonian. Another meeting will be held
by the delegates and officers in Spokane
within three weeks in order to perfect
the working of the organization, and to
appoint various committees.
Form a Defensive Body.
'The object of the organization -
said President Corbett, 'is the forma-
ton of a general defensive policy
against any unnecessary demands of
the unions, and is the direct outcome of
existing troubles from the attempt of
the molders and other metal workers
to obtain an S-hour day. The policy
is one of cooperation from a defen-
sive point of view entirely. and not
for the regulation of prices among the
manufa acturers. 1t is merely to bring
them closer together. and also to meet
eastern competition"
Takes In Many Societies.
This is the first general organiza.
ton of the metal manufa cturers on the
Pacific coast Heretofore each city or
section has had it's own gathering, but
they have not affiliated with other
cities. Formerly there was the Pa
cific Coast Metal Trades Association of
Oregon, the Pacific Metal Trades AS
sociation of Washington, the California
Metal Trades Association, the Found
rymen' and Employers association of
Los Angeles and various others.
It is asserted that the new organi-
zation takes in all of these as one body,
since the trouble with union employees
has caused the different cities to get
together for protection agaip4t de-
mands which the manufacturers refuse
to grant.

Farmers Urged to Organize.

Secretary of State John S. Whalen
made a brief address on grange day
of the New York state fair. He ear
nestly urged an organization of tue
grange in every farming community
and believes that the state grange
should bear the same relation to the
farmer that the labor union does to
men who work in shop, factory or
mine. Farmers must cooperate for
mutual benefit, and he believes that
the farmer should be allowed to set a
fair price on products as much as the
city man does on his labor. He also
believes that the state should provide
rural school educational system for
the young people who are interested in
agriculture.

QUEER CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
Some of the Things Found by the
British Dead Letter Office.

During the ten days preceding Christ
mas about 100000 parcels are handled
every twenty-four hours by British
postoffice officials, or approximately
100000 for the entire ten days during
which the rush lasts.
The contents Of many of the parcels
are, to say the least somewhat curl
Gus, says the Pictorial Magazine. A
hamper of live leeches, for instance,
seems a strange sort of Christmas
gift. SO does an artificial leg Yet
both of these were among the parcels
treated" last Christmas. Another long
coffin shaped box excited suspicion on
account of the odor emanating there
from. On opening it, however, nothing
more dreadful was found than a young
alligator in dormant condition. An
other evil smelling hamper was found
to contain no fewer than 300 dead
mice, while yet third inclosed de-
funct puppy consigned for postmortem
purposes to an eminent surgeon.
Christmas presents of live animals
are constantly being sent through the
Pooe tht idSt tHdt thC
practice is strictly prohibited. Pigeons,
rabbits, white mice, rats, ferrets, silk
worms, lizards, snakes, guinea pigs
and even on one occasion a pet lamb
have all been dealt with at some pc
Rod or other.
No longer ago than last Christmas
eve box was intercepted containing
$50 live frogs, and a short time before
twelve healthy young adders were dis
covered in an innocent looking hamper
which was supposed to contain poultry
