Timanus Makes Statement.

Former Mayor Timanus tonight gave
the following forecast to The Star cor

Il believe that those gentlemen who
voted for Mayor Mahool are convinced
that they voted for a principle on April
T. Also that nothing has occurred to
make that principle a wrong one. The
Independent voters Of this city are
favorable to progressive. business
like administration. such as I am ad-
vocating. l believe that thousands of
our democratic citizens, who are not
talking politics at this time, will join
with the independents and the repub-
licans and vote for me. not because I
am Timanus. but because I stand for
clean-cut, definite ideas, and because
advocate a clean-cut. non-grafttng,
honest administration Of our city's at
fairs.
Il expect to win next Tuesday by. a
majority of not less than 1000 votes"
Democratic Confidence.
Mr.. s. S. Field. the law partner and
political adviser of Mr.. Preston. issued
the following statement:
II am estimating a majority for
James H. Preston of 5000 next Tues
day, based on the following facts:
81. The democratic party is united as
I have never seen 1t before since have
lived in Baltimore.
"2. Mayor Mahool and his leaders,
who fought for his nomination. have
given their hearty and sincere support
to the candidates cause and to the en-
tire ticket.
"3 This is a democratic year, and 1
believe that we will benefit by 1t.
"a. The republican party is not en-
thusiastic over Timanus. and this is
proven by the small vote cast in the
primaries and also by the small regis
tration.
IS. The democrats ought to get the
majority of the unaffiliated vote, be-
cause Mr.. Preston has promised a busi-
ness administration and his promise
Is backed by the Endorsement Of a COM
mittee Of 100 of the leading business
men Of the city; also by the indorse-
ment Of the leading members of the
bar. Mr.. Timanus and his promises are
not backed by any similar committees.
"6. Tom Hayes won by 5000. and
believe that the democratic party has
grown to such an extent that an ad-
ditional thousand can be added to Mr.
Preston's majority

A Supplementary Machine.
Douglas Internationally


 Harry Loeven, the well-known railroad engineer of this city, has just received a patent from the Mexican government for machine which he calls a combination hoist and elevator. A patent for this machine has been applied for in this country and is now pending before the patent department at Washington.
 This machine was first suggested by the necessity of some way for the economical handling of the dirt after it passed through the Quen- .ner placer ground crushing ma chine. It is intendent to be placed on a car and could be made very valuable in railroad grading, especially in removing dirt from a deep cut.
 With it dirt may be picked mp into revolving hopper and oy an elevator revolving to any point, thrown a long distance in any direction, as on either si ie of cut.
 The machine contains some new mechanical principles which have been pronounced excellent by ma chinists who have seen the model. With this machine 1t is estimated that one thousand tons of dirt and rock can be handled in twenty four hours and this is only claim ing half of its estimated capacity.
 Mir. Loeven put good deal oi time in working this machine out to perfection and preparing a model for use in asking for a patent.

live Stock Market.

J ed in reducing values on steers 15 to 9 cents this week, buyers are apparently satisfied with their ac- complishments, and a steady mar ket is predicted for next week. Receipts ran more heavily to beef grades this week than usual at this season, a fact that reduces the shortage somewhat from what the figures show, so far as the beef supply goes. The stocker and feed CT trade has been smaller than. usual all through the month of August, the outgo to the country August this year 6l ,500 from this point, as compared with purchases of this kind in August last 'year aggregating T, 300 head here.G The decIiue this week is the first set back fed steers have had in many weeks, and dealers regard it as temporary. On the other hand, receipts are expected to run heav- fly to beef grades all through September, because of the fact that pasture cattle have been held back this summer. Prime steers reach ed $S .00 first of the week, and best wintered steers made new high figure this week, $7G5, but at the close of the week, these tops could not be realized. Fed steers range from $5.75 to $7S5. native grass steers $5.25 to $I35. Quarantine prices held almost steady, the de cline being 10 to l5 cents in some cases on steers within the last two days. Cows of all kinds have held steady, and calves are strong. Quarantine steers range from S400 to S. .45 for most sales, few this week at $615. Native grass c6ws bring $500 to $475, including can ners, fed cows up to $5.25, veal8 $500 to $I.50. Illinois feedefs took some steers weighing 1900 to 1425lb this week at $500 to $6 5, for Q very short feed. and top steers for a regular course in the feed lot brought $5 5 to $5.75, best stock steers $4.50 to $5.25, medium and low grade steers down to $3.25.
 Hogs received here this week 30,800, last week 37,300, same week last year 24,800. The market has ruled uneven and nervous, but it has settled a good deal in the last two days, with a stronger under tone. Run to-day is 3300 head, market } to 10 higher, closing at the best point. Bulk of sales ranged from $7I15 to $735 to-day, all weights getting within these figures, few medium weights go- ing up to $740. Meat and lard shipments from packing centers this week have been larger than corresponding period last year, provisions are firm, and the week is closing with some promise to prospective shippers, of higher prices

WEATHER AND CROPS.

In another column is a report of
the rainfall at Corvallis during the
month of March as reported by the
observer at the Oregon Agricultural
college. The clear, sunshiny weather
and small amount of rainfall for
the time of year has no parallel in
the Willamette valley in the last 20
years.
Western Oregon isn't alone in it's
drouth. The entire Pacific Coast IS
passing thru a dry spell" and it ex-
tends east of the Rockies, too. Re
ports from Minnesota say it is the
dryest spring ever known there.
While there has been but little rain
here nothing is suffering except the
range in the canyons. The soil of
the prairie land is so full of mois-
ture that sod breaking is proceeding
without hindrance-and there's lot
of 1t being turned over. Fall sown
grain is coming along nicely and with
the rains that are bound to come will
make a good crop.
The only discouraging outlook is
the sheep industry, owing to the fear
of the tariff being taken off wool.
However, as in all similar cases, the
actual loss in the event that the tar
ifr is taken off, probably has been
discounted by the present prices. Let
US hope so anyway.

FRANK BENSON.

Frank w. Benson, secretary Of state,
died at Redlands, Cal, early Friday
morning, after an illness of several
years. The body was brought to his
old home at Roseburg. where the fun
eral was held, Tuesday.
The passing OF Benson causes a
feeling of deep sorrow among his
many friends, and at least NOM
entary note of regret from every resi-.
dent Of Oregon during the last three
years. His illness and the almost
certain fatal termination have been
known to all for long time, and ev-
cry heart has sympathized with him
in his brave, manly fight for life.
Mr. Benson was a model public Of
ficer, modest, unassuming but strict
ly conscientious in all matters of
duty. He was no brawling seeker of
public office, neither was he an oily,
predatory politician. He will go down
in Oregon history as man who re-
fused the governorship, for there is
no doubt now that II he had made a
campaign at the primary last sum
mer leaving the assembly strictly
alone, he would have won the nom.
ination and the election.
1t would be a grand thing II there
were more Bensons in public office
and fewer of the other kind.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1911.
oREeoN,s ADVANCE.

There are some gratifying facts dis
closed in the census bulletin of Ore
CONS agricultural statistics, issued
yesterday, and some that are the re-
verse. The unwelcome facts, howev-
er, were the results of well known
causes that we all hope will not pre-
vail during the nex ten years.
Among the welcome facts disclos-
ed are these: In the total value of
farm land there was an increase from
1900 to 1910 of 262 per cent, farm
land and buildings 243 per cent, av-
erage value per acre of farm land
214 per cent, total value of farm
buildings alone 1877 per cent, total
value of farm lmplem ents and ma
chinery 102 per cent. Another graft
flying fact, altho 1t Is decrease, was
the average size of the farms de.
creased 8 per cent.
The other side of the picture is
that the total improved farm acreage
increased only 2S per cent, the whole
number of farms but 26 per cent and
the total farm acreage only Is per
cent.
The population of Oregon increas-
ed over go per cent, so the last
three items mentioned have not kept
pace with the development of the
state as a whole. This in face of
the fact. proved by the great increase
in valuation, that Oregon presents un-
equaled opportunities on her farms.
Today Portland is overrun with
the great influx of Fasteners and
thousands of men there are look
Ing for employment, while here in
Wallowa county, and in Wheeler, Har
ney and other Eastern Oregon coun-
ties, are thousands upon ten thous-
ands of acres of fertile land waiting
for some one to break the sod to
make that someone Independent.
The soil and climate is here but
the labor is lacking.
Is 1t too much to say that in the
next ten years the percentage of in
crease in value OF farm land will
