CAKE SPEAKS HERE
Republican Senatorial Candidate Dis
cussed Statement No. l at Opera
House, Tuesday Afternoon.

Hon. Fl. NJ. Cake of Portland, re-
publican candidate for United States
Senator, and who is the republican
party's champion Of the primary law
and Statement No. /, opened the
campaign in Athena with speech at
the opera house Tuesday afternoon.
To an audience composed about
evenly of republicans and democrats,
Mr.. Cake upheld the policies of the
present administration, and lauded the
work that is being done in connection
with the forest reserves, the reclama-
tion of arid lands, the construction OF
the Panama canal and the opening Of
rivers to navigation.
Concerning the principle of State.
ment No. /, the speaker arrayed the
politician and the machine one side OF
the question and the people on the
other. With nominal majority of
10000, he asked why republicans
should fear the peoples choice of can
didate for United States Senator. when
they we're called on to be satisfied with
the choice of direct vote of the masses
of Congressman, governor, and other
officials OF state and county.
"Why draw the line at Statement
No. 1" asked the speaker, when the
principle for which it stands, gives
into the hands of the people the sim
pie right of expressing their choice Of
man for an office that is the highest
within their power of gift. Until such
time as the constitution is amended to
give the people the right to choose
Senators by direct vote, Statement No.
will be used to conform with the
constitution relative to Legislative
election of senators, but at the same
time it grants the universal suffrage
and privilege to the people of express
ing their choice by ballot"
Mr.. Cake spoke for an hour and Ii
minutes. After the meeting, he was
introduced to Athena people by G. A.
Barrett.
He was taken to Weston by Mayor
Plamondon, and from that place took
the evening train for Milton. HI
spoke Tuesday night to large audi
enoe at Freewater.

Stung By a Scorpion.

TNMiss Matte Birch, who is at the
home of her sister Mrs. Walker. was
stung on the arm by a scorpion We'd
nesday afternoon. The young lady was
engaged in selecting apples at the
Walker home, when she was stuDg by
the insect. Application of ammonia
was at once made on the wound, with
the result that the poison was soon
drawn out. Scorpions are rarely, if
ever found in this section of Oregon.
and it is probable that this particular
one had been secreted in the effects of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker, who not quite
year ago came from Nevada, the
home of these poisonous insects.

John Bergevin Files Charges In Court
Against DIR. ]. R. Sponogle,
and Withdraws Them.

Alleging that DR.. J. r. Sponogle,
dentist of this city, had ruined his
daughter Annie, John Bergevin, res
ervation farmer, fled $40, 900
damage suit against Sponogle in the
circuit court. Peterson 81 Wilson are
Bergevin's attorneys, and these law
yers filed the papers in the case last
Saturday.
According to the statements of Ber-
gevin, as shown in the complaint and
published in Saturdays East Oregon
ian. Annie Bergevin, his daughter,
aged 30 years, had lived with the fam
lily at Athena throughout her lifetime,
leading ohaste life until about No
vember last. AT that time the plain
tiff alleges that DR.. Sponogle began to
show his attentions to the daughter
with the intention of wilfully, wrong
fully and unlawfully injuring, dis
graoing aud wounding the plaintiff
aud the other members of the Bergevin
family.
It is charged that to dishonor the
paintiff and his family the defendant
did "wiokedly, wrongfully and mali
ciously entice and persuade the said
Annie Bergevin to leave her home
and to have sexual intercourse with
him, the said defendant, and that he
did then and there before having sex
ual intercourse with her, promise to
marry her and that by means of hypo-
orisy and artiflce accomplish his
wicked purpose and in $50 doing did
then and there seduce her under said
promise Of marriage"
1t is further charged by the father
that the defendant persuaded the girl
to take up her abode with him in the
st. Nichols hotel at Athena. That
he unlawfully associated with her
there, corrupting, debauching and
criminally knowing her to the plain
tiff IS great damage and to the disrepute
of his family and against his protest.
Because of the conduct of the deten-
dant Bergevin further charges that he
and his family are now looked upon
with disrepute and they are held in
disgrace and disrespect by the public
generally to his great damage. He
therefore prays for damages to the
extent Of $4,000.
DIR. Sponogle says there is nothing
in the charges, and that they wer'
brought against him by Bergevil
while drunk, and at the instigation o
certain persons who desire to injur
him personally and Professionally. H
and Bergevin went down to PendletoI
yesterday, and the case was with
drawn. Bergevin came home las
evening and Sponogle remained il
Pendleton.
John Froome, proprietor Of the st
Nichols Hotel is indignant that men
tion is made of his hotel in the com
plant in connection with the charges
He states that so far as he knows, the
Bergevin girl conducted herself in
lady like manner while staying at hi
house. He says she paid her own bills
and that her department was beyont
reproach. This. in substance Is .th'
other side of the case. The girl is nov
at the home of her father, and it j
said she takes no part in the prosecu
tion of Sponogle.

On their arrival last night from Calu' met, Mich, Messrs. Anton Trojanovich and S. w. Clawson were greeted by a number of their friends, and later al the Dominion hotel were overwhelmed with congratulations on the great sue. cess of the Arizona Michigan Notation
 MT. Trojanovich, in an interview with representative of the Silver Belt, stated that perfect avalanch of sub scriptions poured in by mail and by telegraph from all quarters, SO that in "a day and half the l50,000 shares of fered were four times oversubscribed. and very much to his regret he was compelled to accept an allotment of 10,- 900 shares to Globe and it was only by insistence that Globe was given that many. All the big banking and broker age houses of Boston and New York, and other influential interests were al- lotted only one-fifth of the number of shares subscribed for.
 The new company is fortunate in hay. ing as president Capt. James Chynow- eth, of Calumet, who for quarter of a century has been one of the foremost mine superintendents in the Lake dis trict, and he has large following in the Michigan copper country.
 s. W. Clawson. general manager of the Arizona Michigan company, has a wide acquaintance in the southwest, having for number of years filed the position of mine superintendent for the Copper Queen company of Bisbee, DO. sition requiring ability of q high order. Since resigning from the employ of the Copper Queen company, Mir. Clawson has resided in Los Angeles, and is senior member of the firm of Clawson & Gil. lingham, mining engineers. Mir. Claw. son will now divide his time between Los Angeles and Globe.
 The Arizona Michigan property com prises thirty-fve claims, number of them being located on the old Domin- ion fault, as defined by Dr. Ransome of the geological survey in his able report on the Globe district.
 Mir. Clawson stated last night that the plans for the development of the property have not yet been fosmulated, and it will probably be after New Year before the work is entered upon sys- tematically. For the next three weeks work will be confined to finishing the annual assessment work on number of the claims in the group.
 The Arizona Michigan Copper com pany stars under the most favorable auspices, and it is to be hoped that it will achieve lasting success.
