Another bill provides the secre-
tary of state shall publish a pamphlet
containing a statement of the candi-
dates reasons why he should be nomi-
mated and elected to office.
Still another bill provides that If a
candidate doesn't file expense state
ments according to law his name can
not go on the official ballot.
A fourth bill makes it felony for
any one TO mark ballot for an Hitter
ate voter
These bills are considered extreme
ly radical by most of the members Of
the legislature, and probably will not
pass in their present form, If at all.
A general bill providing what can.
dldate for office may or may not do
is so sweeping in its nature that it
would be difficult for any one run
ming for office to observe its provis-
ions. These bills, however, are ex-
pected to go through the senate with
little modification, but in the assem-
bly, they will have rough sailing.

You can do it If you really want to.
But you can't cure catarrh in a

ALIVE
WITH P|CKPOCKETS

Portland.-Portland is alive with
pickpockets and sneak thieves of all
classes and degrees of cleverness and
stiffness, says the Journal. Police
reports indicate that all the most
able and astute thugs operating at
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition
have come to Portland in anticipation
of great crowds during the rose festi-
val.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
police are making all efforts to bring
about a general roundup, everyone is
warned to keep their hands on their
pocketbook. Both on the crowded
streets and in places of amusement
the warning holds good.
Pickpockets operating in gang at
the postofflce Monday about 1890
o'clock slipped a wallet containing
$3.50 in paper from the pocket of j.
C .Naylor Of sos Grant street, an
electrician in the employ of the Port
land Railway, Light & Power COM
pany, and made their escape. Naylor
was robbed of all the savings Of him
self and his sister, Addie Naylor, for
months past, except 20 cents.
Naylor had just drawn about 800
from a bank and this with between
$40 and $50 which he had with him
he had changed into paper at the
postooffice. His mother, to whom he
intended sending the money, lives in
Utah some distance from postoffice
Of any consequence, so he did not
care to send money order.
Receiving the bills he placed them
in his pocketbook, which in turn he
put in his hip pocket with the pocket
flap buttoned. Coming from the post
office he fingered for a time on the
steps Of the Morrison street entrance.
-Four men, none of whose appearance
he remembers, brushed up behind
him and two crowded around in
front One stopped directly in front
of him and, reaching down, began
| brushing off his shoes with a news
paper, completely blocking the door
way The crowd punched about the
electrician and jostled him, and the
two men behind crowded and pushed
and cursed.
Five minutes later Naylor found

HIGH PRICES PAID
FOR VALLEY WOOL

Oregon City, Or.-The oregon City
Manufacturing company has purchas-
ed a pool of wool at Scio, Linn coun-
ty, paying 21.S1 cents per pound.
This is said to be the highest price
paid for wool in the Willamette val
ley this year.
The company which operates one of
the largest wooden mills in the West,
had a representative on the ground
and entered into competition with
eastern and local concerns, as the pool
was auctioned off at public sale to
the highest bidder. About 1000 fleec-
es were purchased, amounting to
nearly 10000 pounds.
This sale of wool is far out of the
ordinary transaction in this valley and
establishes the Oregon City Manu-
featuring company as one of the lead
ing wool buying factories in the west.

Especial Correspondence)

Milton Ore, June 9,-Overreach-
ing by all odds the efforts of any pre-
vious occasion. Milton's third annual
strawberry festival and horse show,
which was given here today, was
pronounced by every man, woman
and child of the 5000 people who at
tended to have been the most sue
cessful event of its kind ever given
in the Walla Walla valley
A drizzling rain which threatened
at the first breaking of the morning
to mar the pleasure and interrupt the
events of the day was dspelled by the
warm rays of the sun, and by 9
O'Clock the streets of Milton were
thronged with people from Walla
Walla, Pendleton, Dayton, Prescott,
Weston, Athena and the surrounding
country. Owing to a crippled service
on the interurban line between Mil
ton and Freewater hundreds of those
who intended to come from the Gar
den City were unable to do so. But
despite this condition the large and
spacious grounds in the Nicholas
grove. where the festivities were
held, was crowded during the entire
day.
The half crate of strawberries
which won first prize was turned
over to l. E. Meacham. publicity
manager of the Walla Walla Com
mercial club. These berries were
grown by Clarence O'Bert, residing
five miles above Milton, and they
will be served to the Chicago business
men on their visit TO the Garden City
next Friday. The horse show and
stock parade, which was given in the
afternoon. was the most successful
occasion of a similar nature ever held
in Milton. From an advertising
standpoint, today's festivities have
been of the first water Many pros
pective homeseekers were present
and exclamations of surprise and
satisfaction were heard from every
body.

Women Who Are Envied.

Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and temper are
the envy Of many, who might be like
them. A weak, sickly woman will be
nervous and irritable. Constipation
or kidney poisons show in pimples,
blotches, skin eruptions and a wretch
ed complexion. For all such Electric
Bitters work wonders. They regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys, purify
the blood. give strong nerves, bright
eyes, pure breath, smooth, velvety

beauty to them. SOC at Tall & Co.

Naylor told the police. ''It was all
