Trout Barbecue on Fourth.

Bend had a Fourth of July cele-
bration that was probably the most
unique in the country because of one
great feature, trout barbecue. There
are numerous places in the state thar
could duplicate it, probably, but where
throughout the east could such an
affair be held? Bend had about $500
trout served to those in attendance at
the celebration, certainly a splendid
advertisement of Oregon's attire ctions
as a fisherman's paradise.
The oregon State Teachers associ-
alton completed its ninth annual con-
vention at Albany during the past
week. The gathering was pronounc,
ed the most successful in the history
Of the organization. An interesting
and valuable programme was given.
with many notable addresses. The
second annual convention of county
superintendents of schools was held
at Salem just preceding the meeting
Of the state pedagogues. A higher
standard Of school work in this state
was set and many matters of mutual
helpfulness were discussed.

Meacham, July 7.-On the night Of
July another attempt was made to
rob the Kopittke store at this place,
but since the robbery some time ago,
Mr.. Kopittke has had iron bars put
across the windows, therefore, after
breaking the windows they could not
effect an entrance, and only got
few articles they could reach through
the bars.
The Fourth was observed in the
usual way. Work was suspended
from Friday evening until Tuesday
morning by the majority Of the peo-
pie. Some attended the celebration
at Pendleton, Some at La Grande and
others at Union.
Dance Proves a Success. t
The dance Saturday night proved
a success. The hall was made gay
with bunting. Chinese lanterns, etc.
The music was good, a large crowd in
attendance and everyone had good
time. But It could not have been
otherwise under the good generalship
Of Mrs Gnlanders. who makes sue
cess Of anything she undertakes.
Mrs. James shockley gave a bon
fire party the evening Of the Fourth.
A large crowd was invited. They had
a beautiful display Of fireworks and
old fashioned games were played by
both young and old, after which Ice
cream and cake was served. Mrs
shocKey proved charming hostess

Portland, Ore.-Headed by Cover
nor Benson, hundreds of people will
go TO Seattle this week from all parts
OF the state to attend the Alaska-Yu-
kon Pacific exposition on Friday,
July 9, which is Oregon Day. There
has never been such a general move-
ment of oregon people beyond the
state line as is expected to be seen in
Seattle this week.
Judging from the interest shown
in Portland, it will be simply a ques-
ton OF how many the railroads can
handle" said w. II. Wehrung, presl-
dent of the oregon Commission to the
fair.
Governor Benson will respond to
an address of welcome by President
Chilberg of the exposition on the
morning of July 3. In the afternoon
the Oregonians will hold open house
at the oregon building from 8 to 5
and at night there will be a prome-
made and ball in the Washington build
ing. The Portland festival chorus,
numbering $50 voices, will attend ana
will sing.
Portland day at the fair. July 20,
also looks like a big day. Special
trains will be run to carry the people
and reduced rates have been put IN
effect. A special programme has been
prepared for that date.
Livestock Exhibits in Portland.
Special arrangements have been
made whereby all the exhibits in the
| livestock show at the Seattle fair will
be displayed in Portland the third

of the Portland fair and livestock as
sociation. This will mean a show or
pure bred stock in horses, cattle sheep
swine divisions greater than has ever
been seen in the state. The exhibit

stock industry i'm the Pacific north
west during recent years, The annu-
al show of the Portland fair and
livestock association will last from
/ September 20 to 25th and the State
Fair entries will be on display as well
as the cream from the show at Sc
attic.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Under the
guise Of considering the nomination Of
DR.. W. D. Crum, negro collector OF
customs at Charleston, s. c., reap.
pointed by President Roosevelt, the
senate In executive session Monday
discussed the Japanese question. In.
cidentally the discussion turned upon
the reference to Senator Perkins BY
President Roosevelt in telegram to
Gov. Gillett Of California in which he
said that the senior California SEN
ator had hampered the administration
in its efforts to build up the navy,
yet now advises policy OF wanton
insult"
Senator Tillman, colleague of SEN
ator Perkins on the naval affairs com.
mittee referred to the Statement and
indignation was shown by other SEN
ators because Of the attack upon Mr..
Perkins.
Both California senators took part
in the discussion. Senator Perkins
declared he had not been asked by
the president to participate in the con-
ferences concerning the Japanese sit
uation In California. He said he
could not understand why the presi-
dent should intimate that he had tried
to stir up the sentiment in California
in opposition to the efforts Of the
president. He stated what his posi-
ton had been on the subject Of big
navy, declaring that he had always
been in favor of steady growth Of
the navy, even though he was against

Senator Flint declared he had not
participated in the conferences at the

serve as the Intermediary between

legislature. He made It clear that ne
did not approve Of the criticism OF his

AkANSANS VIEWS
LETTER FROM SPEAKER poLLEy
ON DIRECT PRIMARY MADE
PUBLIC IN NEW YORK
CONVENTIONS DENOUNCED


Albany, N. X, Feb. al. n. Dclley.
speaker of the Kansas house Of rep
| tesentatives and chairman Of the Kan
sas Republican committee, has sent
to Gov. Hughes a copy OF letter
written by him to a New York citizen
who asked for information regarding
the operation Of the direct nominal
tions law in Kansas. Speaker Dolley
authorized publication Of the letter.
which was given out by Gov. Hughes
Monday night. The name of the man
to whom the letter was addressed was
not announced. Speaker Dolley tells
Of the steps which eventually led to
the adoption Of direct nominations,
and says in part:
Il cannot now tell you how corrupt,
how vicious, how high-handed, how
subyersive of good morals, how rot
ten the old convention system was.
Indeed. the inside workings OF state
conventions and the midnight con-
claves leading up thereto have meyer
been told. 1t need not be told The
old system is gone. Let its machina-
lions sleep. It may suffice to say that
cliuues and cabals representing the
corporations, the special interests and
those who have fattened at public ex-
pense had manipulated caucuses,
county conventions and state conven-
tions, legislatures and congresses and
traded and dickered and trafficked In
political candidates. and policies for a
Generation, and the people had no
remedy. The Democratic party was
controlled by the same sinister infu-
ences. A revolt at the polls on cleo
ton day brought no relief.
perhaps the situation is different
in New York. Perhaps you have no
bosses Of precincts and wards and
counties who obey the mandates OF
higher bosses in state affairs. Per-
haps those who sIt at the political pie
counter by grace of federal appoint
ments and all those who draw long
salaries for little work at public ex-
penses have not arrogated t. Them
selves the right to dictate to the Re
publican and Democratic voters OF
your state, county and local officers.
Perhaps there is a fair expression OF
popular will In that regard. u 50,
YOU do not need primary election
law. II so, New York politics has been
badly mallgned throughout the re-
public"
Speaker Dolley answers NUMBER
Of objections that have been raised TO
the direct nomination system and de-
clares "Kansas would no more return
to the convention system of ten years
ago than 1t would to the shotgun sys'
tenn Of the Jayhawkers and Redlegs
Of so years ago."
