1880
There followed a campaign uapre-
cedepted in the annals Of politics in tho
United States. The megsphone, the
brass band, the moving picture, the
photograph, the comic supplement-
all these played their part in the effusion
Of Hearstism and claptrap that deluged
the state.
But all in AIN. This pygmy Napo-
leon or a hundred waterloos went to
bed on the night VI election day with
the eorest head he had ever nursed i'll

animated feather duster," as he had
termed Hughes, was victor over hun.
And oil the rest Of the democratic ticket

the knife to the hilt into the carcass OF
OF William r. Hearst, just IS he had go
often driven 1t into the bodies OF other
democratic nominees for governor. The
mills OF the gods grind sloNly, but they
get there some tine.
II was thought that this humiliatinH
beating would give Hearst the TIP that
he wasn't wanted to reform the country
and cave the nation. Bat those who
ton1ly cherished such a dr. attn soon had
that fond illusion rudely dispelled. Tho

HARTMAN is AFTER
1000 FREIGHT CARS.

Hartman is in the market for 1000
cars, mostly freight cars. Some Of
the new equipment will be cars for
construction purposes on new branch
lines, says a san Francisco item.
There will also be 100 cabooses. The
new equipment will be divided
among the Southern Pacific, Union
Pacific, Oregon Short Line and the
c. r. & N, Harriman's four big lines
in the west.
This decision was reached at a con-
ference at klamath Lake last Thurs
day, where Hartman is spending his
vacation, and where he is holding
conferences with most of the leading
officials of the so-called Hartman
system.
When it is remembered that an or

MAY TURN SALMON RIVER
INTO MILL CREEK

Deputy State Game and Fish War
den C. L. Whitney, William Russell,
George Strum and Fred Harmon re,
turned yesterday from a hunting and
fishing trip in the Blue mountains
near the headwaters of Salmon river
beyond the crest Of the mountains
says the walla walla Union.
They brought back reports of nu-
merous bear and deer signs but fail
&c to land any of the big game. They
did, however, have excellent luck fish,
ing and strung many fine speckled
beauty which would measure 20
inches or better They claim old set
tiers in the mountains say there never
were more bear than there are at the
present time and the country near
there Is a veritable hunters para
disc.
While on this trip Mr., Whitney took
special pains to investigate the feast
bility of turning the waters of Salmon
river into the channel of Mill creek.
A conservative estimate of the flow
of water in this stream is placed at
five times that which flows through
Mill creek when the latter is a full
tide.
Mr.. Whitney thinfs that by cutting
a four-foot tunnel through the crest
of the mountains this could easily be
done and water could be supplied
both for domestic uses in this city
and the irrigated farms in the valley
sufficient for all purposes
The Salmon river is fed from cold
springs and the water is as pure as it
can possibly be for the walls of the
overhanging canyons are so steep that
cattle and horses cannot descend to
its brink.
There could be no possible objec-
ton from any source from turning |
the waters this way because and |
flows through a country abso>
lutely uninhabited and its waters are
not used for any purpose.

and from the industries and merch-
ants dependent upon the farmers.
A few days ago he was in receipt Of
advices to the effect that this years
crop would amount to fully 100000
bushels, as against 2,592,OO for 1907,
and tnat the wheat crop would
amount to 672,OOO,OOO bushels, as
compared with $4,000, 900 bushels
last year.
Friends who have recently talked
with Hartman, at his summer re-
treat, say he expresses the opinion
that the first half of 1908 demon
strated that the country is in very
different condition from that follow
ing any previous financial panic. Dur.
Ing its years of prosperity 1t has ac-
cumulated actual wealth. The enor-
nous investments of the last 10 years
have been more promptly productive
than those Of any previous period Of
expansion.
Indeed, he is said to say that 1t Is
not too much to state that there has
never been a like period in the his
tory of this or any other country in
which its energies and capital have
been so effectively directed and COM
pletely employed as during the last
10 years in the United States.
According to he views he is said to
express the reports coming from all
sections show there are two factors
ii the situation distinctly more inn
portant than all others, and one of
them makes powerfully for improve
ment, while the other is a drag upon
recovery. The first is the condition
o: the farming class, and the other
the condition of the railways. The
reports from the agricultural districts
and from the industries and mer-
chants dependent upon farmers show
business with them to have been but
slightly disturbed, while every indus
try which looks to the railroads for
patronage has suffered severely.
