Of joint senator from Ureatilfa, Nor
row and Union counties, in the per-
son Of State Senator Turner Oliver of
La Grande.
Two Candidates for Judgeship.
Though James Johns has declared
that he will not be a candidate for
the democratic nomination for county
judge. two other democratic possibili-
ties are said to have sprung up. These
are T. j. Tweedy Of this city and D.
c. Brownell Of Umatilla. Tweedy
made the race for county Judge at one
time and was only defeated by a small
margin. Brownell Is one Of the pio-
neer residents Of the west end of the
county and is prominent and well
known beyond the confines Of his own
section.
Some Of the leading democrats in
this city are also rustling for candi-
dates for some Of the other offices
1t is understood that no attempt will
be made to secure the office Of re-
corder or treasurer and II Is possible
that W. D. Chamberlain will be in
duced 10 run for state representative
instead of clerk. The democrats also
expect to re-elect state Senator Smith
and Sheriff Taylor without opposition.
Other Democratic Aspirants.
Mayor Louis Scholl of Echo. is said
to have been placed in training to
make the race against John W. Kim
brell for the position of county sur
veyor, while James Price Of Weston
may be induced to make the run for
county commissioner TO take the place
to be made vacant by the expiration
Of Commissioner Lees term Of office.
Mack Cockburn Of Milton will prob
ably be the republican candidate. It
is conceded that Lees successor should
come from the east end Of the coun-
ty.
From present indications Ralph
Folsom will be reelected coroner.
without democratic or republican op-
position, though City Physician Nc
Faul's name has been mentioned as
possible opponent for the republican
nomination.

Toronto. Ont, July 19.-Thousands
Of men went out today in one of the
biggest railroad strikes in the history
of Canada. No trains are running
over 1900 miles of the main line of
the Grand Trunk. The men struck
simultaneously and the road is COM
pletely tied up. Yardmen and shop
men quit. They have a defense fund
OF more than a million dollars per
month so are ready, they say, to
fight to the finish. Approximately
1000 yardmen, conductors and train
men went out and 5000 shopmen.
A few mails trains were allowed to
leave, the trainmen saying they will
not interfere with mail trains but will
not allow any others to be moved. NO
violence is reported. The company
says they are intending to import
strike breakers.
The Central Vermont which is con-
trolled by the Grand Trunk, made
an effort to prevent its men going
out by appealing to Washington un-
der the terms of the Erdman act.
Vice President Murdoch of the train
men yesterday afternoon received a
telegram signed by Martin A. Knapp
chairman Of the interstate commerce
commission, and Charles p. Neill,
commissioner of labor, expressing
their willingness to use their offices.
To this Mr.. Murdock replied
"The situation is such. considering
the attitude of the companies as to
leave small hope for settlement as
a result of mediation. Men leave the
service this evening"
The order closing the shops all al
ong the line of the Grand Trunk will
affect 5000 men. of whom about 700
are In Montreal It Is understood that
q considerable number will be offer
ed a chance to take the places OF
striking conductors and trainmen. The
only passenger train scheduled to
leave Bonaventure depot after the
strike order went into effect, the To-
ronto express and local. pulled out
without any delay due to The strike.
The express was manned by crew
of French Canadians, old employees of
the company, not members of the
brotherhood.
The strike was called shortly before
ten o'clock last night after a confer
ence with officials at Montreal. Mem
bers of the employees committee left
the hall bearing sealed envelopes
which they were told to open that
night unless telegraph orders not to
were received. There were no orders
so the envelopes were opened and
orders to strike were found therein,
The strike affects the Grand Trunk
and Central Vermont railroads.

from Detroit, Chicago and Canadian
points indicate that the great walk
out Of employees this morning has
tied up the Grand Trunk. Over TO-
600 men. yardmen, conductors, etc,
are out along the line, and more are
Joining. Strikers demand a standard
scale identical with that enforced by
the Baltimore & Ohio. The company
refused this although offering an ad-
vance Of 1S per cent. Some trains
are operated in Michigan by strike
breakers guarded by armed men.
Serious trouble Is almost certain.

As the time for the filing of NOM
mating petitions draws closer so the
conditions of things political begin
to become more interesting. 1t is
now quite apparent that the crop of
candidates, like that of wheat, is TO
be a big one, for hardly a day pass
es that does not bring some new can
didate into the field, if any credence
is to be placed in the reports of dame
rumor.
As usual, Pendleton will have one
or more candidates for state offices
as we'll as for county offices. 1t is
said that T. c. Taylor, the pioneer
hardware merchant and former presi-
dent of the senate, will be candidate
for the republican nomination for the
office Of state treasurer. Taylor is
known as regular republican
and therefore it is presumed that he
will not make the race unless assured
that he can have the nomination.
Col. James II. Raley, who at one
time aspired to be attorney general
OF Oregon. is again being urged by his
democratic friends in different parts
Of eastern Oregon to make the race.
The colonel, however is said 10 not
look upon the proposition with favor
Would BE Joint senator.
Among the latest aspirants for po-
litical honors is Attorney s. F. Wilson
who is the Athena member of the firm
Of Peterson & Wilson He desires to
wear the shoes cast off by Joint SEN
ator w. G. Cole and for that purpose
has been over in Union county in an
effort to construct some fences. He
is young republican who came to
Oregon from the Carolinas three and
ono-half years ago.
Among Wilson'S opponents will
probably be Representative c. A.
Barrett of the same town. He is a
Statement No. republican and has
twice been elected on that platform,
having lead lhe --s.=Iat.ve ticket at
the last election. IN addition to be-
ing a Statement No. / man, Barrett
is also against the assembly idea and
will therefore probably be regarded as
the insurgent or progressive candi-
date.
w. L. Thompson, president of the
American National bank and also
president of the Pendleton CONNER
cial association. is also said to be a
receptive candidate for the republican
nomination for this office or that of
joint representative.
Joe n. Scott Of Athena, who made
an unsuccessful race against Joint
Representative Mahoney of Heppner
last year, will probably bear the dem
ocratic standard in this fight a second
time.
Candidates for Representative.
in addition to L. L. Mann, the pres
ent encumbent and Col. II. G. New
port of Hermiston. Mayor n. \. Davis
of Milton, will probably be a candi-
date for the republican nomination
for representative. Davis is cashier
of the First National bank of Milton
and is regarded as one of the prom
inent residents of the east end of the
county.
The only democratic possibility
mentioned for representative thus far
is A. s. Pearson, the wen known Free
water real estate merchant. Pearson
has been both recorder and mayor Of
the town of Freewater and apparently
enjoys the confidence of the citizens
of that end of the county.
1t is said that the democrats will
also have a candidate for the position

GETS OFFER ON BUILDING.
City Council Has Opportunity to Sell
West Main Property

Chairman Gregory. of the buildings
and grounds committee of the city
council. reported to the council Mon
day night that he had been made an
offer for the purchase of the city's
business building on West Main street,
for $500 cash or its equivalent. The
prospective purchaser did not want to
be made public in the purchase at the
present time, and his name was not
given. Mr.. Gregory presented a reso-
luton authorizing the mayor to enter
into a contract for the sale of the
building at the figure named.
Gregory thought the offer made a
fair price considering what other prop
erty in the same block mad sold for.
Clark considered the price too low, and
thought the property should bring be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000. Herman be-
lieved the city had not be too hasty
in selling the property, for the water
works departn ent, which uses the back
portion OF the West Main building,
must have some place in which to store
its supplies, and Herman said that if
the building were sold the city would
have to go to work and build an
other.
In reporting the offer Gregory said
that the committee had decided to do
nothing further with the Baptist prop
erty offer until the outcome of the West
Main deal was known.
Mr.. Clark finally moved to lay the
resolution over until the next regular
meeting, and that the mayor, Gregory,
and Herman be made a special COM
mittee to see the proposed purchaser
of the West Main property and the
Baptist committee, and report with
at the regular meet

For several years we nave an

that we had found positive cure for

wintergreen compounded with other
healing ingredients.
Yet we know there are people right
in this town who have eczema, and
still have never tried this remedy.
We have, therefore, arranged with
the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago
for special offer of trial bottle at
25 cents instead Of the 81 bottle as
regularly sold. Be sure OF the correct
name: D. D. D. Prescription.
We offer this trial bottle with our
and assurance that
just as soon as the patient washes his
itching skin, this mild liquid will take
the itch away instantly.

SEND HORSES SLOW UP HILL.
Councilman Herman Calls Mayors At.
tention to Fire DEPARTMENT

Councilman Herman called the at
tention of the mayor at the council
meeting Monday night to the fact that
the fire crew of station No. was in
the habit Of running the fire horses up
the Third avenue hill, in answering
alarms of fire, when the crew was
destined to the central station to await
a possible second call. The Fourth
ward councilman declared that the
custom would result in serious injury
to expensive horses, and in time would
render the team useless.
Mr. Herman said he was not max
ing any complaint, but rather sug-
gestion, and thought that it would be
we'll to have the second station crew
send the horses up the grade on
slow trot, and then make the time on
the level street. The mayor said that
he had the same thing in mind, and
would take up the question with Chief
Kirby.
