A fragment from Athena Oregon notes campaign talk on Rockefeller gifts to Nebraska university and local Republican harmony in Oregon. Column discusses forest reserve revenues and District Attorney Jerome reelection, reflecting regional political issues and public notices.
The piece highlights Jerome as a fearless reformer challenging Tammany and Murphy, Odell and allies, suggesting a need for compromise over a coastward railway route. It notes weather and farming conditions, urban migration trends, and quirky items from science and sport, including a Chicago cashier repelling robbers with cigars and a high altitude kite experiment.
The Portland Journal reports Frank Baker's Republican peace conference widened the breach between Simon and Mitchell factions. The meeting failed to harmonize the hostile clans and exposed deep-seated antagonism in the Simon ranks of Baker and his supporters. Other sections of the state are not described in detail.
The peace conference scene exposes Frank Bakers aim to control the next state printer and wield influence over nominations by county. Attending Republicans warn Baker would trade other posts for the state printer, while broader talk of a spring convention fades due to primary election dynamics and outside county rivalries.
