PORTLAND BOSSES FOnED.
ITS no use.

The political bosses of Portland
who called a county convention. OF
republicans for the purpose Of killing
statement N. and the popular
election Of United States senators
have been gloriously foiled in their
attempt. Their own convention
turned against them and refused to
declare against the statement. It
was by bare margin that the bosses
prevented their own convention from
declaring emphatically for the very
thing which they had assembled to
kill.
And Portland is not all Of Oregon.
If the bosses cannot control the in
dependent voters of Portland, what
can they do with the more independ-
ent voters of the remainder of the
state?
The sentiment in favor of the pop
ular election OF United States sem
ators is stronger today than It has
ever been, Notwithstanding the con-
tlnued hammering Of the bosses, and
the day will come when the staunch
republicans who are holding out for
this principle against their bosses
will be proud of their actions Oregon
will be grateful to them for rescu-
ing the state from the skulduggery
Of machine politics.

SCARCITY OF STOCK FOODS.
Change in Flour Making Industry
Causes Wheat Food Shortage.

According to advices from .Spo-
kane dairymen and farmers all over
the state are said to be complaining
on account of the shortage OF stock
foods manufactured from wheat, says
the Walla Walla Statesman. the
shortage Of stock food is said to be
due to the complete change in the
four mill industry that has been tax
en- throughout the state in the past
year 1t is said that feed which
could have been purchased last
season for SIS per ton now costs on
an average S25 and even at that price
sufficient quantities are not available.
In an endeavor to meet the demand
It is reported that the different mills
have begun the manufacture OF dif-
ferent substitutes for shorts and bran
which have been fed to stock in this
state for many years past. Chopped
alfalfa, 1t is said, Is now being mixed
in feeds to make the bran and short'
go further.

HAIR WAS ON FIRE.
Leavenworih, Wash, Man Barely Es-

LeayenWorih, Wash, Man Barely Es-
capes From Flames With Life.
With the hair Of his head on fire
and one hand burned, Joseph Peltier
rushed from his burning residence
just in time to escape being burned
to death yesterday morning. says
Leavenworth, Wash, item. When he
leaped from his bed in his night robes
the bed was on fire and the house
ablaze. The fire had gained headway
while he was sleeping. and only the
pain OF the burns awakened him.
The residence is apart from other
Leavenworth homes and no water was
near at hand. so the saving of either
his house or household furnishings
was impossible. When he dashed
from the door, beating out the fire. on
his hair, the roof was ablaze.
Mr.. Peltlers wife and family are
visiting friends at Cashmere. fact
which he considers providential, as it
probably would have been impossible
for all to escape with their lives had
they been at home.

With excellent summer resort fa-
cilities. excellent hunting and fish
ing and superb climate, Umatilla
county should begin to shine as a
summer resort district. Coast peo-
pie should get in the habit of COM

few weeks enjoyment during the
summer. They do not know what

NO MORE WEDDING RICE.

No more rice or other missiles for
the gay bridegroom and blushing bride
who go on their honeymoon over the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad-ii
the officials Of that corporation have
their way, says a Chicago dispatch.
The first step towards stopping this
time-honored practice was taken
when the officials OF the road issued
an order prohibiting the throwing OF
rice, old shoes, tin cans or anything
else at bridal parties while they are
boarding trains.
One Of the roads off clals said that
1t often happens that passengers not
interested In the demonstration have
complained Of getting ears full Of rice
or OF being hit by a good sized shoe
intended for the bridegroom.

SIGNS OF SPRING.

A bird note blown from a bending
bough
Which the Master will soon with life
endow;
A squeak, and a scurry of little feet
In the dry. dead grass where the
fleld-mice meet.
A sheath of green where the alders
grow,
With feet swathed close in bands Of
snow
A flicker of color, flutter of wings.
And a bluebird fast to a post-side
clings.
In the air fresh, sweet, woodland
smell
A spicy tang from vine-hung dell
And the secret places Of the earth
Prepare for the springs victorious
birth!

EIGHTEEN YEARS IN SLAVERY
KIDNAPPED SOUTH SEA ISLAND
Frs REGAIN LIBERTY.
Blackburn Stole and Sold Them to
Guatemala Planters and England
Set Them Free.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 11.-Nineteen
survivors of several hundred South Sea
Islanders, kidnapped eighteen years ago
from their native strand and sold into
slavery among the coffee plantations OF
Guatemala. arrived here yesterday ON
the steamer City of Para.
They are free and homeward bound, and
in addition are travelling tourists, with
the British government paying expenses.
The natives were kidnapped by Capt.
Blackburn, who visited the islands in his
steamer, the Monserrat. and enticing them
to be contract laborers bound to THEN
Guatemalan employers for three years.
Ignorant of the language and in a land
where the law Is sometimes the dictators
will, it was easy to keep them on the
plantations, where they shaved until their
plight was made known to the British
government. This, however. was not UNI
til eighteen years had passed and most
of the natives had died.
Those returning lave little to show for
their years of toll.
Capt. Blackburn was lost at sea In De
cember. 1894. when the Monserrat went
down with all hands. E.
The islanders have been taken in charge
by the British consul here, who has ar
ranged transportation for them on the
steamer City of Pueba, which sails today
for Vancouver.
There are several babies in the party.

from their long sea voyage.

much whalebone is being used in the

There are many fine swimmers among

There were screams for help from many

There was nothing to climb on, and not
enough skirts to gather about the limbs of
the swimmers anyway. If there had been
