STILL HUNTING FOR LOST BOY
ParOled Convict Duping Parents of
Boy Lost at Toll Gate.

A special from Lewiston, Idaho, to
the Oregonian says: Cecil A. Brittan,
the Walla Walla boy, years old, kid
mapped at Tollgate in the summer of
1906, is either secreted in the Grand
Ronde district or the parents are the
victims of a plot to extort money, be-
cause of their anxiety to recover the
missing boy.
The hunt for young Brittan was
directed to the Grand Ronde section
by Sam Breen, a paroled convict from
the Walla Walla penitentiaIy, who is
alleged to have confessed to completely
in kidnapping the child, and who was
placed on parole to assist the parents
in their search.
Breen visited Lewiston last week and
rode into Grand Ronde section. He
returned Saturday night and was met
ty R. l.. Brittan and wife. parents OF
the child. Brecn said be had met the
parties with the boy and that horse
was shot from under him when he at
tempted to carry the child away.
L. NJ. Butler Of Spokane is said to be
associated with Breen 10 the search.
The entire party left for the point in
Eastern Oregon where Breen said the
captors had headed for after the en-
counter in the Grand Ronde section.
Little oredenoe is given to the story
of the shooting and it is generally be-
lieved that the Brittan family has been
viotimized.

the proposed petitions and pledges
from the interior members to the leg
islature.
1t is also the rumor that at least one
member from the interior has said be
would forget his Statement No. l
pledge provided petition signed by
more than one half of the voters in bis
district, asking him to vote for Re-
publican, were presented to him before
the date set for the election of United
States senator.
The Fulton following expects by this
petition scheme to be able to switch
at least seven members of the legisla-
ture. They contend that the people
who voted for Statement No. 1 mem
bers of the legislature did not take in
to account the possibility of Governor
Cham berlain winning the popular in
dorsemeut. They argue that the ma
jority want a Republican and are
willing to abandon their belief in the
principle of the direct election of
United States senator's to secure a Re-
publican.
In the face of this argument and
effort, however, comes the vote which
the pso pie of Oregon gave to the bill,
now law, instructing the members of
the legislature to vote for the oandi-
date for United States senator who re-
oeived the popular vote. In June last
this law was passed by popular vote
of SO, ,668 for and 81, 1872 against the
measure, or by majority of 48, sos
votes. At the same time George E.
Chamterla received 52,421 votes.
Thus it is seen that 17,247 voters of
the state who did not vote for Cham
barlain did vote for the principle set
out in the law. placing themselves on
record as favoring the obedience of the
legislature to the popular will of the
people as expressed at the polls.
Senator Fulton and bis friends, in
the senatorial campaign, are going Oh
the theory that the 69,668 voters OF
the state who cast their ballots in fav.
or of a law to make the popular vote
binding on the legislature. as regards
the United States seuatorship, did moi
mean what they expressed by their
votes last June. The plan is to make
loyalty to party the great plea in tbs
hope that. aided by the enthusiasm OF
the pl esidential campaign, majority
of the voters can be induced to repu-
date their belief in the direct election
OF United States senators, in order tc
defeat Governor Chamberlain and
elect Senator Fulton to the office al
ready accorded to him by the popular
vote of the people.

NO LIQUOR At SPOKANE FAIR
The Barroom Will Be Used for the
Poultry Show Exhibition.

Nothing but temperance drinks will
be sold on the Spokane fair grounds
this year. as the sale Of liquor is
thing of the past at the fair. There
will Ee no bar on the Spokane fair
grounds this fall. This was the uhan
imous opinion of the board of directors
at the last meeting of the Interstate
Fair association.
The abolition of the bar was deemed
necessary, so the liquor selling conces-
sion will be omitted from the list of
privileges to be auctioned to the high
est bidder on the goth of August. The
long bar under the grandstand will be
devoted henceforth to other purposes.
"Thu management of the fair has
long desired to take this step, and has
taken il on their own volition, believ-
ing it to be the wish of the people, !"
states President George T. Crane.
1--WE have always tried to conduct the
fair to please the public. We have
had the matter under discussion since
the fair last fall, and it has been prao-
tically understood that the bar privi-
lege in the future would be suspended
Conditions have changed and I want
to assure the public that we are trying
always to manage the fair to please
the greater number" )"
The former baIroom under the big
grandstand will, in all probability,
be turned into a poultry show this
year. This poultry exhibit this fall
| will be one of the most extensive in
the history of the fair.

FULTON'S MACHINE
Combination Effort to Down Cham.
berlain and Defeat Will of
the People.

The old game is on again, says the
Portland Journal. 1t is anything to
beat George E. amberlain before the
legislature for election to the United
States senate. 1t is back to the old
system of barter and sale, 40-day con-
tests and debauchery, and this time
the people are to be asked to aid in the
revision. That is the plan that is now
being mapped out Ey the Fulton fac
tion, the old remnants of the Mitchell
machine, for the subversion of the
popular will and the reopening of the
senatorial contest at Salem next Jan
uaIy.
1t is up in eastern Oregon, and
through the sparsely settled districts,
that the Fulton men expect 10 win
their battle, defeat the people and
elect Fulton to the senate if possible.
And this is about the way they plan to
do it:
Fulton men in eastern and central
districts of the state are to circulate
petitions for signatures among the
voters of the districts directed TO the
representatives and senators from those
districts asking them to disregard their
Statement No. pledge and vote for a
Republican for senator. Fulton, Of
course, is to be the Republican.
AT the same time pressure is to be
brought to bear on these Statement
No. 1 members of the legislature to
influence them to agree to observe the
request of these petitions, provided a
majority of the voters of the district
affix their names.
In the legislature there are 81 State
ment No. members. thus making it
necessary to win over by some means,
seven votes before the scheme of the
Fulton faction can win. Even then,
however, it would only be possible tor
Fulton to win provided be held the
whole number of anti Statement No.
mean. and the seven subsidized votes,
in line. The result, provided the seven
men could he found to violate their
pledges, would in all probability be
deadlock and no election.
According TO the story now in Cir
culation, Senator Fulton and his polit-
ioal advisers, have promised to fall in
line behind the candidacy of Senator
Jay Bowerman of Sherman, Gillian
and Wheeler counties for president of
the senate provided Senator Bower

Seventeen Year Old Harry Ross OF
Iowa Falls, Thrown Under Train.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Aug. 17.-If Harry Ross,
a I7-year-old lad of this city, had not
changed his mind, he would probably
not have met with an accident that re-
suited In the amputation Of his leg
above the knee. In company with some
chums, he met the Chicago ON aha
limited. A sudden impulse seemed to
seize the trio to take a trip to Ackley
and come back on the opposite train,
which reaches here at 1920 in the
morning. They accordingly "hit the
blind baggage" and were safely en-
sconced in "tramp's retreat" when they
decided not to take the trip, but by
this time, the train was well under
way, and had almost reached the yard
limits. The other two lads alighted
safely, but young Ross foot caught
and he was thrown under the train, re-
sulting in the member being so badly
mashed that amputation above the
ankle was necessary.
