Judge Pike Now In Race

Considerable interest has been
aroused in political circles in Reno by
the announcement made by the friends
of Judge w. II. \. Pike. of the Washoc
district, that the jurist would resign
his position if nominated by the demo-
cratic party rs a candidate for congress.
With the announcement a boom has
been sprung for Judge Pike and is
now attaining considerable proportions.
The fight between Pat McCarren, dis
trict attorney of Nye county, and Com
gresham Bartlett for nomination, has
reached almost an acute stage and the
talk of bringing out II third man to
settle the fight has been rampant for Il
week. Pike is the man, SO the Judges
friends say, and they are Justify boost
ing for the Washoc county man. He is
a good c~ampaigncr and has II wide
acquaintance over the state. He would
make Il formidable opponent for any
man.-Virginia Chronicle.

FOREST NOT ALWAYS SILENT.
Prot. Garner Authority for Assertion
That Wild Animals Converse.

Tho chatter Of monkeys is a real
Chatter and conversation. some folks
say. Prof. r. L. Garner, who has spent
the greater part oof several years In
the forests OF Africa studying the Ian
guages OF monkeys and other animals,
says silence Is not an absolute ele.
ment In the safety OF wild animal life.
Wild animals are more taciturn than
domestic animals, as also are the wild
tribes OF human beings. This he at.
tributes to lack Of social intimacies
and nomadic habits. The carniYora,
the only natural enemies which other
animals have any cRuse to fear
through tho sound Of their voices, de.
pend almost entirely upon the sense
OF smell In pursuing their game. every
species having It's peculiar odor. Also
the carnivora generally hunt at night,
SELLING their prey while asleep. The
animals which have the lowest rea.
sons to fear betrayal by their voices
are by nature the most silent. During
Prof. Garnor's three years residence
In the jungle he found that the chin.
panaee frequently breaks the silence
OF the forest by answering the cries
OF he various other animals. The
gorilla ia less lo%quacIous. bat there
are times when he ignores all danger
OF betrayal and giyos vent TO a deluge
OF speech. Other monkey species are
persistent takers. and can DO heard at
almost any hour. The trumpeting Of
tho elephant Is common at night and
the believing OF the hippopotamus
by day or night. The antelopes cry at
night when the leopard Is on the hunt
for them. the latter also grunting.

Portland, March 9.-Prof. r. S.

geography at Cornell university, is
the author OF geography now used
as a textbook in a vast number of
schools throughout the United States,
and In revising this book is paying
especial attention to the development
Of Oregon and Washington.
The Portland Commercial club
has furnished Prof. Tarr very COM
plete data on oregon, together with
a number of thoroughly representa-

the part OF the author is apparent
from a request for further photo

No section OF the Union surpasses

interest in the State University by
urging upon the state the most liberal
appropriations for the maintenance Of
this institution In a way that will en-
able It to reach its highest efficien-
cy. This was the meat Of a resolu-
tion adopted by the Portland Com

however, that the fight was an ordl-
nary saloon Drawn and that since
DuPuis exhibited no murderous weap-
on, Wynne had no cause to fear vio-
lence, says the Sunday Oregonian.
The story of tue killing was told
from the witness stand by several
witnesses for the state yesterday. The
case was all but completed as far as
the prosecution is concerned, and af-
ter the testimony OF several minor
witnesses has been heard tomorrow
the defense will have Its inning. Mar
tin Denny, proprietor Of the saloon
In which the tragedy occurred was
the principal witness Of the day.
The two men were lounging In front
of the bar on the night Of December
II, Denny said. After they had been
drinking together for nearly an hour
a dispute arose Wynne accusing Du-
Puts of being "sponger" because ne
had not bought a single drink Du-
Puls resented this and the quarrel
continued until DuPuis reached out
suddenly and slapped Wynne in the
face. Wynne grabbed DuPuis quick
ly and while holding him reached in
to his hip pocket, drew revolver and
shot him three times
This testimony was corroborated by
w. ]. Shank, bartender at the Denny
resort and by e. Schwitzer, who was
lounging about the saloon In drunk
en- condition at the time of the shoot
ing. Schiwtzler was able to tell only
a part Of what occurred as he was
very drunk at the time, too drunk to
remember much, he said.
Patrolmen Young and Edgerton
testified to arresting Wynne. They
found him struggling with two men
who had seized him after the murder.
Denny was standing near by holding
the smoking revolver, the officers
said. City Physician zelgler gave to
the jury the result of post mortem
examination OF DuPuis, describing the
nature OF the wounds which caused
death.
First degree murder is the charge |
uon which Wynne is being tried. The

CITY Man VIII Give Up the Race.
1t Is rumored among politicians
that w. S. U'Reh will issue an an
nouncement some time this week
withdrawing as a candidate for the
republican nomination for United
States senator, but Mr.. URen yester-
day vigorously denied that he had
decided to drop out Of the contest,
says the Sunday Oregonian. When
asked whether he contemplated retir-
ing from the race, the Oregon city
man intimated that a condition might
develop which would make his retire.
ment practicable.
''There is nthing in the report that
/ am to retire as a candidate for the
senatorship at this time" said Mr.
U'Ren yesterday. my friends have
advised that / remain in the contest
and l can see no good reason why
should not"

from the race?" was asked.
81 cannot say at this time that 1
do" But such a condition of affairs
might develop under which l might

date"
Mr.. U'Ren has assured some of his
friends that while he gladly would
serve the people of the state as sena-
tor, he is even more anxious to de-
fend the direct primary law and
statement No. l from the attacks that
are being made upon them.
The talk of the retirement of Mr..
U'Ren is believed to indicate that a
definite understanding has been
reached between him and Cake by
which the latter will more enthusias-
tically than ever espouse statement
No. l. 1t was Cakes alleged luke
warmness toward the statement that
was given by U'Ren as one of his rea-
sons for entering the contest in the
first place.
But with Cake and U'Ren both sup

ing noncommittal on the subject. the

the Weapon Used I'm Recent U'Rcn
Meeting.
Echo, Ore, March I. 190S-(Edi-
tor East Oregonian.) | see by the
papers that a new weapon Is being
used in political warfare, viz: the
stink pot. 1t was first introduced at
a political meeting in the city of Port
land, at a meeting of the South Port
land Republican club. The meeting
was for a debate between the advo-
Gates Of election by majority, or state
ment No. /, and the advocates of elec-
ton by minority.
According to the Portland Oregon
ian, Mr.. URen, the champion of ma

the course of the debate, Mr., U'Ren
was called upon TO reply to the argu-
ment of the anti-statement No. l ad-
vocate and was doing so as only
U'Ren can. Someone in the crowd, In
the rear of the hall, took the lid off
a stink pot and drove the audience
from the hall. The speakers and
chairman were soon obliged to fol-

must enter a solemn protest
against this innovation, this driving
out an audience instead of the speak
err. I regard this as un-American
(whatever the means), radical, rev.
olutlonary, anarchistic and unfair. 1t
is not according to the rules Of politi-
cal warfare and contrary to the Hague
tribunal decrees.
If this stink pot warfare Is CON
tlnued. the friends of statement No.
/ will be driven from the field and
there will be no more fun or excite
ment in politics in the future. There
won't be enough left of the republican
party to raise a decent stink

men will consider this matter seriously
and keep their stink pots at home in
the future.
