PORTLAND EXHIBITS ROOSEVELT PRAISES
Progressive Leader Just Before
Shooting Gave Strong Endorse
ment TO Senator Bourne.

Portland, Ore, oct. 1S.-Senator
Jonathan Bourne of Oregon, indie
pendent candidate for reelection, to-
day made pubic lengthy telegram
from Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
dated Chicago, October 12, in which
Roosevelt denied allegations that
Bourne acted in the interests of the
Standard Oil people during his ad
ministrations. The telegram was
dispatched two days before Roose-
welt was shot at Milwaukee and stat
ed that Bourne in arranging inter-
views between the chief executive
and John d. Archbold and other rep
resentatives of the interests without
use of Intermediates was doing
great public service.
"Nou asked for the right to ar
range such interviews as did other
| congressman of high character" the
| telegram states. 1T was often nee
eSSdIl lot me TO arrange direct In
terviews with Archbold and others,
and in effecting the same for me
you We're doing a service for the
whole country. l doubted the sin
cerity of Archbold, and this made the
interviews with him necessary"
The telegram goes on to praise
Bourne for his peculiar fitness for
the particular post designated and
his character as a public official.
The telegram is directly contradic-
tory to certain statements made re-
Gently by ex-United States Senator
Fulton that Bourne acted in the in
terests of the Standard Oil Company.

G. A. MORSE
TALENT. OREGON,
For Representative to the Legisla-
ture from Jackson County.

l believe strictly in the principles
of the progressive party and also the
prohibition party, which 1 think goes
just one step farther.
In the absolute protection of labor
without impairment of the rights of
capital.
The strict regulation of all trusts.
In the suffrage for women on the
same terms as men.
In the strict prohibition of the
manufacture of liquor in any form.
l believe in liberal appropriations
for Oregon enterprises where they
will be of statewide benefit.
Good roads legislation must be en-
acted whereby counties or communi-
ties can have as good roads as de-
sired, and in a way that they can get
the most for their money.
l believe the people are supreme
and their wish should control.
Statement No. l should be carried
out.

Can II Hog Swim?

The question of whether or not
hog can swim without cutting his
throat is gong the rounds of the
western pres. and is even breaking
into the highbrow columns of some
of the eastern newspapers. Evidence
on both sides has been adduced, but
the supporters of the theory that a
hog has no natatorial ability are in
the minority, and hence may be set
down as nature takers. The facts
are that a hog can swim, and with
out danger to its jugular vein, too,
although very fat animals attempt
ing the feat injure themselves with
the sharp hoofs of their forefeet.
The hog that cuts it's throat while ne
gotiating a stream may safely be put
down as belonging to that category
in which the naturalist places the
hoop snake. Nobody ever saw hoop
snake, although the illusion of roll
| ing created by the blacksnake in
proceeding at rapid rate of speed
by a series of loops is probably re-
sponsible for the yarns which have
sprung up about this reptile.
Writing to the st. Louis Post-Dis-
| patcn, one correspondent states tnat
he has seen a SOW and six pigs swim
a rapid stream without injury to
themselves; while another writer to
the same paper recites that hog
which he once saw swimming the
River Thames left trail of blood as
a result of cutting it's throat with its
hoofs. Two correspondents of the
Syracuse Post-Standard tell of in.
stances of swimming feats by por.
cine animals. Any country boy il
Virginia knows that hogs can cross
streams by swimming. Just why &
hog should want to do it cannot, OF
course, be stated with accuracy
Probably it has the same object thai
Washington Post.
