PORTLAND IS
AWFUL SORE
WILL GET EVEN WITH SEATTLE
FOR HAVING ENTER
TANNED FLEET.

Especial to the Evening tatesman)
PORTLAND. May 29-The Rose
Festival next week will be a great
affair. Portland did not get q whack
at the fleet and felt badly about IT,
The people here did not appear to
care if few ten-mllion dollar battle
ships got stuck in crossing the bar on
coming up the river so long as IL
would make roman holiday for the
city. The very idea that Seattle should
get the fleet and the money accruing
from it, and poor Portland left in the
cold is too much for the ordinary cit
iZen. especially. in these hard times
when no one spends a dollar if he
can help it,
Portland therefore proposes to mako
the Rose Festival worth while to the
many visitors expected in the city.

To LIFT WATER
WITH GASOLINE
HUNDRED HORSEPOWER ENGINE
TO BE INSTALLED NEAR
WALLUIA.

To augment it's facilities for furnish
in the Wallula district the Columbia
Canal company has placed orders for
a big 1O0-horsepower gasoline engine
which will be installed a short dis
tance above Wallula on the Columbia.
The big engine will lift water from
the Columbia to a height of about so
feet where it will be conveyed to the
adjacent lands by big pipe line The
power plant will take the place of a
big reservoir which the company con-
templated constructing at the intake
of its gravity canal at Nine Mile
bridge on the Walla Walla river The
idea of building a reservoir at that
POINT to impound flood waters has
been abandoned owing :, +he difficult
ties that would be encountered in OBJ
tanning the necessary lard and the
necessary water needed for irrigation
during dthe extremely dry season will
be pumped from the Columbia by the
big gasoline engine. The engine has
been purchased through the Fairbanks
Morse company and is now enroute to
Wallula from the eastern factory.
The power plant on the Two Rivers
project has been forced to close down
for a few days owing to a break il
one of the main laterals. The break is
being repaired and the pumping plant
will probably be started up again to-
day.

Especial to Evening Statesman)
PORTLAND. May 29-That Governor
Chamberlain will receive the largest
vote for United States senator is Il
foregone conclusion.
While H. NJ. Cake is a very pleasant
gentleman and of ability. he has no
record aside from the fact that he Is a
republican, He was not known outside
his immediate friends in this city until
he shied his castor into the ring two
years ago. The general run of voters
have become tired of this thing of vot-
ing a straight ticket.
While Cake received the highest
vote at the primaries there are many
reasons for it. Among others is the idea
that Oregon, especially Portland, is
not receiving that attention and as
sistance from the administration sne
is entitled to and votes We're given
ton that Governor Chamberlain would
be able to defeat him at the election,
Cake being easier to defeat than Full
ton. The voters expect it will make
the administration sit up and take
notice when they send a democrat to
the United States senate This is the
idea pure and simple.
This is a "circular" campaign for
every blessed voter receives circulars
by the dozen giving reasons why some
candidate should not be Elected.
No general reforms are promised so
we shall see the same old graft in fu-
ture as in the past
The state and city has been looted
by the republicans at every chance and
that has been all the time, and the peO-
pie are getting tired of going crazy to
elect men whose only motive is to rob-
rob the very people who elect them.
Yet the Indifference is really terrible
to contemplate. There is no enthusiasm
whatever in the campaign. The voters
are in the air and would as soon toss
a penny to decide their votes as not

NEW YORK.

Distribution of staple goods by iobbers
tends to increase as the spring buying sea-
son advances and the large numbers of
buyers excursions draw merchants to the
market but there is a consensus of opin-
ion that buying is in high degree con
servatiye, and that staple goods and what
may be classed as necessities comprise
the heavier part of the business done.
Retail trade is very quiet. except where
price reductions on winter weight goods
tempt buyers, and final distributive de-
mand unQuestionably feels the reduced
purchasing power of the public at large,
due to short time or reduction of earu-
ings in industry.
Wholesale trade is quiet as whole.
and cotton fabrics, notably print cloths
and hannclettes. have been sharply cut /;
stocks of the former are reported to be
piling up despite reduced time worked.
Three-fourths of the normal production
is reported working.
Reports from other industries are irreg-
ular. The improvement in finished steel
noted last weel; has gone further and a
slightly larger capacity is now at work,
but crude output seems to be no larger;
some merchant furnaces are reported shut
ting down because of accumulation of
stocks, and prices of some pig iron are
easier.
