ers to remember that he was a pre-
JUDGED witness, but asserted that
there was no doubt In his mind that
/ molly one, ballot would be cast. He
said that, in his opinion, the figures
of the Taft. bureau should be taken
seriously, because "our figures from
the beginning of the fight for the Re-
publican nomination, have always
been nearer right than those OF the
other fellows js

nent today for the first time, the

not be able to show more than $50
votes on the first ballot. Il

ISOLATED Press, William j. Bryan
replies to an article. appearing a
week ago in a New York newspaper
charging that Mr.. Bryan was the
beneficiary of a campaign contribu-
ton made by Thomas f. Ryan. Mr..
Bryan said:

ing, first, that my brothar-in-law,

ocratic state committee, had a con-
ference with Mr.. Sheehan in 1904,
in regard to campaign funds.
Second, that Mr.. Sheehan as Mr..

Ryan $4,000 for the Nebraska
campaign.
Third. that Mr.Ryan made the
Contribution to secure my open and
unqualified support of Judge Park

Fourth, that to disguise the
source Of the contribution Mr.. Ryan
gave a check to Mr.. Sheehan and
that Mr.. Sheehan gave his checks to

Chairman Allen and Mr.. Dahl
man, the Nebraska member of the
national Democratic committee,
have already denied the charges
and stated that the only money re-
ceived came from the national COM
mittee, but desire to add the fol-
lowing statement:

care about the future town sites along
the new road. The company proposes
to control as much as possible, not
only the location of the sites for the
towns, but also the laying out and
building OF the future cities.
On the Prairie section nearly a
hundred Of these sites have been To-
Gated, and all but a few on the north

court and by this evening or tomorrow
morning the problem will be up to
Judge Bean.

Phelps in behalf of the state filed his
answer denying all the principal al
legations of the amended complaint
in the Nolte case. Thereupon the case
became at issue and about 1890 this
forenoon County Clerk Frank Sailing
was called as the first witness for the
liquor men.
The principal point which the plain
tiffs wished to show by the clerk evil

LEVEE BIDS ARE
NIP AND TUCK
CLOSE FIGURING TO
ASCERTAIN THE WINNER
Committee Of Council Having Hard
Time to Decide Who Is Low Bidder
on Extension Work-Newport Land
& Construction Company and W. @.
Belts Present Nearly Same Figures.

Bids for the repair and extension
Of the levee were opened by the
council last evening and they are
now in the hands Of the levee COM
mittee, consisting Of Messrs. Ell,
knight and Mumm.
Owing to the fact that the bids sub
mitted have not been fully compared
1t is not known who offered the low
est bid. The contract will evidently
go TO either the Newport Land & Con-
struction company or to W. C. Belts.
The former concern has the lower bid
on the rip rap work, but Belts bid
lower on the embankment work.
The work to be done this summer
consists of an extension of the levee
to the Matlock island, the repair of
the levee at various places and the
extension of the wing wall at the
upper end Of the levee.
Prospective contractors bid upon
the work of excavating for a concrete
foot wall, masonry, constructing en-
bankment and riprapping. The New
port company made a bid of 40 cents
per yard upon the embankment work
and 80 cents per square yard upon
the riprapping. /
in his bid Mr., Belts offered to do
the embankment work for SO cents
per yard and the riprapping for 9S
cents.
Aside from the above two propos-
ais A. A Hardin also bid unon the
work, offering to construct the en-
bankment for 81 1-2 cents per cubic
yard and the riprapping for 1.O7
cents.
The work of repairing the levee
under the Main street bridge is to be
let as a separate contract and last
night bids were received from Moussu
& Co. and James Brink. The former
offered to rebuild the wall. setting the

Pacific Harbor Advantages.
Prince Rupert, the Pacific terminal
OF the Grand Trunk Pacific. is an
island. The town Is to be built on the
slope of mountain. whose grade be-
gins a few hundred yards back from
the shore line. 1t is alleged that for
on the Pacific coast. 1t is sheltered;
its approaches are easy and free from
all impediments of navigation. The
harbor Is to 1 II miles wide and ex-
tends inland distance OF 10 miles.
Prince Rupert is the most exclusive
place on the coast. People who have
no business there are not allowed to
land. The future city is not yet
ready to receive any one unless he is
directly connected with the railway
company. The government and the
Grand Trunk Pacific own all the
water front. and no arrangements are
completed for placing any property
on the market. II is however, an
nounced semi-officially, that the sale
will take place in September next.
The promoters OF Prince Rupert
expect the town to become a great
factor in the Pacific commerce. They
predict that In quarter OF n century
1t will be one of the leading seaports
on the Pacific Ocean. Prince Rupert
will be a day and half nearer the
Orient than Vancouver, and tho

Grand Trunk railway system has an
nounced that the moment the trans.
continental line is completed It is
ready to inaugurate a Prince Rupert

That so tons of thornless cactus
forage can be grown upon each acre
of arid land in Umatilla county is the
statement of G. H. Fuller of Spokane,
Iwho is in the city today promoting
the Burbank thornless cactus plant.
Mr.. Fuller represents the Thorn
less Cactus Farming company of Los
Angeles, which firm has the exclu-
sive privilege of selling and handling
the famous discovery of Luther Bur-
bank and is in the city trying to in
terest owners of arid lands in grow
ing this forage plant.
The young plants suitable for seed
are sold at 81 each and one acre will
support about 5000 of these seed
plants. Each plant will yield about
50 other plants annually, making an
average income Of about 500 per
plant. The thornless cactus will
grow absolutely without water and
the seed plants are placed in the dry
ground where they Immediately take
root and begin to produce.
1t is said that the thornless cactus
contains 75 per cent. of the nutriment
of alfalfa and is not only used for
stock, but is served as food for the
human specie as well. 1t is made in
to salads and has excellent value as a
food stuff.
The fruit of the thornless cactus is
said to be IA per cent sugar and is
taking the place OF sugar beets in
many places. 1t is eaten by stock
at all times of the year, without prep
aratlon and contains such a large per-
centage of water that stock feeding
upon it do not require water, but Sc
cure sufficient moisture from the re-
plant to satisfy their thirst
As the cactus in its native state
grows in enormous quantities in all
the sandy portions of Umatilla coun-
ty 1t is believed that the same soil
would produce the thornless variety
in abundance and the industry is
looked upon with favor by many land
owners of the western portion of the
county,
The plants are very prolific and may
be set at the age of six or seven weeks |
and will at once begin to produce 9TH |
er plants. The Monterey variety or
that producing the round leaf, is said |
to be the best variety for all purposes
and is recommended instead of the
long leaf. variety.
The leaves grow to be about the |!
size of an ordinary dinner plate, from
to aone-half an inch in
thickness and retain their shape and
uices for months after being pulled
from the stem, All kinds of stock
eat them readily and 1t is believed that
I will come to be the principal stock
'ood in the arid regions.
The sol! needs no preparation, ex-
,ept clearing, before planting the
,actus plants. A small slit may be
made in the sandy soil with a spade
Ind the little plant inserted and with
n an incredibly short time it will be
lin to shoot out new branches and
Within a few months will be a full
ledged cactus tree.
The favorite plan by which land
wners may secure a good start Of
he plants is to buy a few hundred,
r whatever they may be able to pur-
hase and then grow their own seed
lants from these. AS one small
liant will yield from 40 to so plants
ach, annually. a great profit may be
made in growing seed with which to
tart a cactus field.

Chief Vaughan are adopted by the
council an automatic bell striker will
be placed in the new fire station when
it is completed and it will thenceforth
be unnecessary for a person to ring
the fire bell to give an alarm.
A fire alarm box would be located
in the fire station and by merely go

the bell striker would be tripped and
Immediately an alarm would sound

automatic striker would be capable
Of 80 blows which would mean a suf-
