PUDDING RIVER TIRE
is UNDER CONTROL

Advices received this afternoon
concerning the fire six miles east of
the city on the Pudding River, and
which yesterday afternoon destroyed
a barn belonging to Jake Moser, and
the buildings on the farm of August
Kuffnuer, and also considerable tim
Der, are to the effect that the fire is
now under control, and that no more
danger is apprehended.
The fire is presumed to have
started from some slashings which
were being burned on the Rev. Fl.
A. Larden ranch, and then to have
spread. and gotten beyond control.
A large number of men were en-
gagged practically all of the after
noon yesterday in combating the
flames, and the fire is still being
watched by a good number of fire
fighters to prevent it from getting
a fresh start. 1t is now confined in
the timber district and the last re-
ports received had it that it was
gradually dying out.

ECHOES
FROM THE
STATE PRESS
(wallowa SUM-

When the Republican voters OF
Oregon cast their ballots September
"a to make the real nominations for
governor, they will have their choice
between a number of aspirants.
Without future developments make
a great change in conditions, the
contest will probably hinge between.
Jay Bowerman, the assembly candi-
date and Col. Hofer the most pro-
gressive insurgent in Oregon. What
kind of a man does Oregon want for
governor? This question is fairly
before the Republicans of Oregon.
Each voter must make his choice on
September "a. No advice can be
given or received on that day. But
in the meantime everyone has the
privilege to discuss the merits Of the
several candidates. And Il is the
duty of every voter to inform him
self With this object in view, we
shall take pleasure in discussing the
merits of the various candidates and
invite comment from all persons in
terested. We shall gladly publish
articles from any contributor, pro-
vided such articles are to the point
and avoid personalities that are not
supported by proof.
Bowerman would doubtless make
good governor If he went to the
office untrammeled. But he has al
ready made a start that does mot
portend a progressive policy in the
governors chair. The part he is
popularity supposed to have taken In
the destruction of the Normal
schools will not recommend him In
Eastern and Southern Oregon. The
fact that he was instrumental in an
effort to locate an insane asylum in
Eastern Oregon might recommend
him to the feeble-minded but to the
thinking man the destruction of
schools and the establishment of in
sane asylums is a poor recommended
tion for man to start to the COVER
nor's chair.
Col, Hofer has always been pro-
gressive He has urged better roads,
fairer taxes, and cleaner govern
ment, He has pledged himself, II
elected, to veto every bill that bears
the stamp of legislation against the
peoples will, even If supported by a
majority of his own party in the
legislature. Col Hofer is an insur-
gent in the truest sense of the term
and an insurgent is not a bad man
to have in the governors chair. He
keeps a check on an extravagant

AS COL. HoFER SEES THINGS.
(CorvallIs Gazette. }


The editor of The Capital Journal
is undertaking single handed and
alone his campaign for the nomina-
tion for governor. The assembly
nominee has the Republican State
Central committee which in violation
of law called convention and pursued
convention methods, back of him,
with officialism generally enlisted
in his behalf. After a three-day
motoredr drive of 800 miles in three
western Oregon counties the editor
is satisfied that he has quite q fol-
lowing of the Independent thinking
Republicans who do not approve of
the assembly. In talking with about
800 men In three days, he met with
but two advocates of the assembly
system and the restoration of the
delegate method of nominating candi-
dates. But the people are not regis
tering and there will be a very small
vote at the primary unless the people
become aroused. The editor ex-
poets to put in about 100 miles a day
over the state, with a motorcar, and
advocates the direct primary, good
roads, direct election of senators un-
der Statement No. One as the only
clean and correct way to choose
senators.

COMPANY FRIENDS GIVE our
STATEMENT.

Watertown, N. r, Aug. 25.--Yice-
President James s. Sherman has had
enough Of politics and will seek the
more peaceful paths of retirement as
soon as he has lived through HIS
present incumbency. He has stead
fastly refused to make this statement
himself, evidently not wishing to be
directly quoted, but It is learned
from some of the directors Of the
Northern New York Trust Company
who are close to Sherman. that he is
making plans in accordance with the
retirement idea.
The company director from whom
the retirement report emanated was
positive in his assertion that It was
authoritative.

BIG FIRE
RAGING IN
SANTIAM
FIRE NOW COVERS A TRACT 8
MILES IN DIAMETER AND is
SPREADING IN ALL DIREC-
TIONS THERE BEING NO WIND.

A telephone from Albany late this
afternoon stated that a bad fire was
raging 16 miles southeast of Browns
Vile in the Santiam and Calipooia
forests, that several farms had been
wiped out as to buildings and crops.
It is not known definitely If the
militia will be called out. Acting
Governor Bowerman who was called
up at Portland stated to the Journal
that the law required that the county
judge of the county where fire is
located was the proper authority to
ask for aid of the militia, which had
not yet been done. He stated
though, that If the fire was danger
Gus enough to warrant it, he would
order out militia of his own volition.
On phoning to Brownsville, it was
stated the fire area was about eight
miles in diameter and was burning
in all directions, there being no
wind. 1t is eating its way into the
finest timber in the Calipooia sec
ton. Some of the heavy losers are
the Drew Timber company, The
Russell-Stevens company, and G. K.
and ]. X. Wentworth, all timber
firms. The governor will be asked
to send troops as the fire has reached
such proportions as to be beyond all
local efforts to stop it.

TWO INCHES Or SNOW
FALLS IN MONTANA


Helena, Mont, Aug. 25.-The for
est fire situation has greatly i'm
proved since last night, for which
nature is chiefly responsible, mas
much as light rain and snow fell
heavily dampened the timber and
thus permitted the fighters to back
fire successfully.
The wind has also moderated in a
marked degree and It is now appar-
emily certain that the fires will be
confined to the areas already burned
over.
In only one district does the stu
alton appear really threatening, and
that is at Thompson Falls In the
points west along the Clark's fork
valley. This is in close proximity to
the towns of the great forests Of
Western Montana. Unless severe
winds should fan the embers, it is
thought that there would be no
further damage.
Snow fell to a depth of two inches
in the Gallatin forest Wednesday and
quenched the fires, then rapidly NOV
ing toward the Yellowstone park,
while a steady downpour of rain
saved the situation in the Flathead
country.
No new casualties are reported.
The large body of men sent out from
Thompson Falls reached a haven Of
safety and none were burned as had
been feared.
