FULTON PROBABLY WINS
 IN 0RE CON PRIMARIES
Every Office or the Republican Ticket Was Hotly Contested.

Portland. April 17.-Republican and democratic primaries were held throughout Oregon today for the nOm- nation of congressional, legislative and county tickets. and for the nomination of a candidate for United States sena- tor. There was no contest on the democratic ticket and Governor Geo. E. Chamberlain. consequently, has been named as that party's candidate for senator.
 There has been fight from top to bottom on the republican ticket. This is because the republican party is the majority party in this state and geneg- ally speaking nomination is equivalent to election.
 The main fight was for the senator ial nomination. Though too early to make forecast there seems to be a feeling that Charles w. Fulton. the present incumbent, has been selected over Henry NJ. Cake.
 The fight between statement No. T. candidates for the egislature-those who vote for the whole peoples for United States senator and those who support the "republi- can voters choice" has undoubtedly resulted in such complexity that it will not be until the last precinct is heard from that the result Of the fight will be determined.

THE SECRET MISSION
 0t CRUISER ALBANY
It Is Suggested That It May Have Business With the Headstrone MT. Castro.

san Francisco, April 17.-Rush orders were received from Washington today by Commander Henry Thomas Mayo of the cruiser Albany to take on coal and supplies for a cruise of two months and q half duration and a full store of ammunition, and proceed at once to Salina Cruz, there to wait sealed or ders.
 The reason for the sudden departure of the WarShip into southern waters is not yet known. but it is surmised here that it is in relation to threatened trouble between the South American republics.
 Commander Mayo was asked tonight if he is to convey Ambassador Enrique C. Greet of Mexico from Salina Cruz, to the republics of the south. or d peace mission. and he refused to say. it was also suggested that the supplies of arms and ammunition he will take may be unloaded at Panama and ship ped across the Isthmus by rail to be used in case of trouble with Venezuela, but Commander Mayo had no infOrma tion to give out on that suggestion.
 The Albany is now at Mare Island taking on coal and supplies as rapidly as they can be placed aboard. The commander expects to take her to sea tomorrow morning. All the short term men aboard the cruiser are being transferred and men whose service will continue for three months or more are being substituted.

in his report that there is practically no
vegetable matter in the water and tina;
there is absolutely no bacteria in the

FIGHT OVER INSURANCE RATES
FrnternaI Congress IL Preparing 10
Push Bill for Uniform Scale
in All states.

PUT IN BAY, o., Aug. 2O.-After listen
ing to speeches today delegates to the
National Fraternal congress in session. be-
gan talking fraternal insurance, which
promises to cause no little furry in fra
ternal circles throughout the country. The
congress has under consideration a uniform
bill governing fraternal circles which, Il
adopted, will be presented to the legisla.
tive body in each state as soon as possible
to be enacted into law. This measure, which
will come before the congress tonight, pro-
vides for a uniform rate OF assessments
from fraternal insurance throughout the
country. 1t was because Of this proposed
feature that the Modern Woodmen OF
America withdrew its membership from
the congress Yesterday. It is stated thai
the Woodmen propose to fight this bill II
the legislative bodies for enactment, and
II is considered that the adoption Of the
bill tomorrow will be an invitation by the
congress to wage the contest. The contro,
versy, 1t is said, will at least nave the
effect of throwing the light of publicity
upon fraternal insurance affairs.
The congress was addressed by the in.
surance commissioners of Colorado, Soutt

1t now appears likely that a crew Of
firemen and a team from the Council
Bluffs fire department will be permitted to
give an exhibition at both the Shelby and
Pottawattamie county fairs. A delegation
of business men from both Avoca and
Harlan were in the city yesterday for the
purpose Of inducing the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioner to permit the at
tendance of the team and men at the two
county fairs. The commissioners will meet
this morning to consider the request and
it was said yesterday that it likely would
be granted, although when the matter was
up before. the commissioners refused to
allow the team to go.
The management of both fairs Is pre-
pared to pay $3.50 each for the attendance
OF the Council Bluffs fire team, and It is
understood that If the team is permitted
to give the exhibition at the two places
this sum will be devoted to form a fund
to be expended under the supervision of the
Fire and Police commission in the purchase
of equipment for the department.
In presenting their request, the delega-
ton urged the argument that the team
could leave here in the morning, give the
exhibition and return the same day.
