TAMMANY ONLY SNEERS
But McCarrenites Say If Upstaters
VII Stick THEY'LL Hin

Leutenants Of the leader of Tammany Hall pro-
fessed the utmost contempt last night for the ere
VOTERS and laughed at the idea that they could
make serious trouble endanger Murphys and
Corners control of the Democratic party in the
state. McCarrep and upstate Democrats. on
the other hand. say that the Murphy Corners men
grave danger in the revolt and Will take ad-
vantage first available opportunity TO pacify
upstate beIllgerents and, this done. they Will
then turn their whole attention TO annihiatng the
Brooklyn Senator.
Senator McCarren returned from Utica yesterday.
When asked what would be the next step that the
committee of sixty-one would take ne replied:
II really could not tell you. am not its chair
man, but only humble member.
When will it meet?
Il can't answer that question either. but II won't
be long before there will be meeting"
One of Murphy's closest advisers said last night:
The result of that meeting at Utica shows how
weak the McCarren men are. They can't even snow
strength enough to call another convention don't
believe the revolt will last the primaries If they
las that long it will only get the worst lick
ing they have ever had Why, the Demo
cratic party. Talk about getting back to the pTn-
ciples Of Democracy-that's all damn rot! Half of
them don't know what a Democrat is.
That McCarren is bent upon waging an aggressive
campaign against his opponents and Murphy in
Kings County was clearly indicated by the removal
of James E. Bannin Saturday from his $500 a
year job probate clerk and the appointment or
J. Victor Cain to succeed him. The latter Is a
McCarTen man. the former an anti McCdrTen man
Bannin removed by Surrogate Ketcham. a
McCarren The Senator will use every weapon
his command with which to fight.
What the McCarren seem to fear most Is
that Murphy and Corners may formulate some
scheme whereby they pacify the indignant up
state Democrats and get back their support. If
this is done they admit that McCarren's chance Of
defeating the combination would be greatly min
imzed-
Il know this" said Of McCarrens political
advisers last night. that Murphy and Corners
would be only too glad to get the upstate revolters
in line again. for I believe they will admit to
themselves that unless they do will beat them
They wilrtry TO make terms with them. even If it
weakens their hold on the party for the time being
Their watchword is anything TO beat US.
Their plan is simple. 1t Is to get the upstaters
back in line and then turn their whole attention
to crushing McCarren. II they succeed In
rying il out. they then turn the upstate
revolters and handle them any way they feel like
and let those upstate remember that this is
just what they will do, too and be warned in
time. However, I think every decent Democrat is
Disguised with the strong methods of
Murphy and Corners that he will not be fooled a
second time into putting himself in their power
for this I think any efforts they may
make at pacifying the upstaters will meet with
failure"

VIOLATING FISH LAW.
Meacham Lumber Company Ha
Dumped Shayings In Creek.

Dumped Shavlngs In Creek.
That the laws for the protection OF
enforced in eastern Oregon, at least
rigidly enforced in eastern, at least,
is shown by the action OF Deputy
Warden o. F. Turner of this city,
who has made complaint against the
Meacham Lumber company for
dumping planer shavings in Meacham
creek, thereby violating the state Law
and injuring the fishing possibilities
Of the stream.
For some time past the sawmill
company has been dumping shavings
in the stream and the matter has just
been called TO the attention of dep
uty warden, who made thorough in
vestigation and found that the COM
pany is openly violating the law.
As Meacham creek has been stock
ed with young trout during the past
few years, especial attention to the
protection and propagation Of the
fish will be given and as the shavines
in the stream mean the death of
many Of them, drastic measures to
prevent the pollution of the stream
In this way, win be taken.

of the Meacham Lumber company, is
