In some quarters that there were but
few adherents to the statement No.

Canvasses made by men interested
in the question have shown, however,
that outside OF the machine element
In Portland there Is strong and
growing sentiment in favor of a state
ment No. 1 ticket for the legislature
To meet this demand number Of
prominent men have decided to enter
the race. 1t Is understood that there
will be five candidates for the senate
and 10 for the house, or In other
words that there will be a candidate
for every vacancy on the legislative
list.
Once this movement is launched it.
is understood that the campaign will
be taken up in earnest and carried
primaries on April II The statement
No. l men will make a straight, clean
fight, on the ground that the preser-
walton OF the integrity of the primary
law and the principle Of direct cleo
ton OF United States senators de-
mands the observance of the state

candidates for the legislature. 1t ia

with hearty support throughout the

IRvINGToN TRACK NO MORE.
Famous Racing Course at Portland
Is Being Plowed Up.

Within two months there will be
nothing left Of the once-famous Ir-
vington race track but memory,
says the Oregon Sunday Journal.
Little remains OF the big grandstand,
and the course that Barney oldfield
pronounced the fastest in America
has gone to ruin.
The few tumbledown shacks that
are called stables can last only until
the new system of stalls have been
constructed at the Country club
track. Preparations are even now
being made TO turn teams and plows
onto the track, in anticipation of
marketing the lots in the ground.
Around the whole place there is an
air of desolation, and the sooner the
grotesque outbuildings are removed
the better it will suit the neighbors.
Owing to its short distance from
the center of the city, the rack was
always a popular one, and seldom
lacked of crowds. Fifteen minutes
after the cars started from the heart
OF the town the passenger was land
ed within a few steps Of the gate
The site was an attractive one and
the Improvements were of the high
est class. However, those who feel
sorry to see the old course go will
find comfort in the splendid new track
of the Portland Country club, adjoin-
ing Rose City Park.
A gang of surveyors is at work on
the broad acres encompassed by the
course, being engaged in dividing the
tract into lots. A huge real estate
sign announces 10 the chance visitor
that choice residence sites are now
on the market.
Some 80 or 40 horses have winter
ed at the track and have been worked
out on fair days. Owing to the
roughness of the course, little attempt
has been made to put the thorough
breds through in fast time.

ALL FOR STATEMENT NO. 1.
Multnomah CouIIy TO Have Full
Ticket for Peoples Choice.


Pressed by the persuaslons OF
prominent citizens Of Multnomah
county a number OF well known bust
ness men and residents of Portland
and Mutnomah county will make
their appearance as candidates for
the legislature during the early days
of the week taking their stand upon
statement No. l platform, says the
Oregon Sunday Journal.
This is the latest story of a politi-
cal tendency to float into the circle
of political gossip. Who the men will
be is not yet publicly known, but II
is stated by those who know of the
movement that the names will be such
as will command the respect and sup
port of great mass of the voters,
once they come out as candidates.
Since the opening Of the campaign
and the appearance of the candidates
so far In the field in search of legis-
latlve honors much dissatisfaction has
been expressed by large class of
voters in favor of maintaining the in>
tegrlty OF the primary law, and up
holding the principles of the direct
election Of United States senators as
provided for by statement No. /. This
class of citizens has continually
sought to induce leading men to come
out as candidates on statement No
! platform, and movement with
that object in view has been progress
ing for some little time

FARMERS WIN IN
WAREHOUSE FIGHT
WAREHOUSE COMPANIES
HAVE AGREED TO SELL
Farmers Union at WalIn Walla Sue
ceeds in Reaching Terms With Pa
ciric Coast Elevator and Puget
Sound Warehouse Companies-
Companies VIII Sell Warehouses TO
the Farmers

The recent trouble between the
farmers and the warehouse companies
over the control OF warehouses ada
cent to Walla Walla, eliminated In a
partially definite arrangement yes
terday afternoon at a meeting OF the
Farmers Educatlve and Cooperative
union when representatives of the
Puget Sound Warehouse company
and the Pacific Coast Elevator COM
pany stated what their companies
we're willing to do respecting the sale
Of their houses In the territory ada
cent to Walla Walla, says the Walla
Waila Union.
The Pacific Coast Elevator COM
pany agreed to sell their houses In
this vicinity provided the farmers
would buy the entire system in this
district at the prices set by the COM
pany.
Although neither side was willing
to give out the exact figures set by the
company. It is generally known that
the price was too high to suit the far
mers.
In speaking OF the probable out
come OF the situation yesterday af-
ternoon prominent farmer and a
member of the union, said the far
mers would In all probability erect
their own warehouses and operate
them in opposition to the company.
The warehouses included in the of
fer of the Pacific Coast Elevator
company are stationed at Spofford,
State Line, Touchet, Louden, Whit
man Station, Valley Grove, Ennis,
Hadley and Walla Walla.
Puget Sound May Sell
No final action was taken by the
Puget Sound representative, he hold
Ing his decision until next Saturday.
At that time definite plans OF pro-
cedure can be made. II is understood
that the houses owned by this COM
pany in the western part of the coun-
try in Eureka Flat will be purchased
by the farmers.
The Puget Sound company has
SPont several tnousands or dollars |
building permanent houses in this
district and with the farmers cooper
ating houses in the same locality the
profits would be materially diminish
ed.
Wherever the warehouses can be
purchased at satisfactory figures they
VIII be bought but in other instances
the farmers will build new ones. The |
railway companies have promised TO
give rights-of-way for these houses
wherever they are desired.
To secure control Of warehouses
and to build new ones. stockholding
organizations will probably be form
ed among the farmers similar to the |
organization at Waitsburg.

DamrOsch May Not Come.

Forced t oabandon personally the
plan Of bringing to Walla walla as a

band, one of the best known musical
organizations in the country. Presi-
dent stephen B. L. Penrose of Whit
man college, has turned over to the
symphony club the responsibility O,
securing the attraction, says the
Walla Walla Union. This was done
after the club had signified its will
ingness to attempt the booking. Eff
forts will now be made TO secure
enough promises of attendance from
Walla Walla people to assure the
meeting of expenses incurred by the
