OFFICE AIDE FAVORED SEXATE WOULD MAKE ASSIST ' AXT SECRETARY OF STATE. Bonerman's BUI, Contested, Carries by It to 8 Miller, and Mo Culloch Main Opponents. STATE- CAPITOL. Ehlem. Or., Jan. 3ft. (Special.) What proved to be the most decided content of the morning In the Senate developed over Bowerman's bill to create the office of Assistant Secre tary of State and empower that official with, all of the duties, privileges and powers of the Secretary in the absence of his superior. . Bowerman explained that the bill was to clear a peculiar situation which had developed In the absence from Oregon of the Secretary. "Serious question has arisen as to the validity of some of the things done In the office during the absence of the Sec retary." said Senator Bowerman. "and this act has) as Its purpose the elimina tion of the possibility of similar diffi culties arising in the future." Miller of Linn was one of the strong est opponents to the bill. "It see ma to me the Secretary should be here." ha declared. "If he cannot be here he should resign. For many years I have served In this Legislature and have seen new offices created at every session. We have a Tax Commission, which in my Judgment does no more work than could be accomplished by a fTS clerk and docs It no better." McCulloch vu also strenuous In his opposition. He asserted that the bill does not accomplish what It was said It would accomplish. He declared It does not hit at the root of the case Involved and ex plained that the Secretary has different cleaves of duties to perform, some of these being ministerial and others In cluding his board duties which are sepa rate and apart from tha ministerial duties and powers. "I aee no reason for an emergency clause on this bill. There can be no emergency at present unless It be a poli tical emergency. If an emergency exists now It has existed during the many months that the chief clerk haa been performing these duties. If the Legisla ture Is compelled to empower him to do these things In tha future It will have to validate the acts done In the past." He also called attention to the fact that It la poeaiole under the present bill and an act now on the statute books for the assistant to draw two salaries In stead of one.

Crater in Midst of Luke Emits Vol umcs of Molten Lava and Hurls Water on Villages, Swamp ing Five, of Them. MANILA. Jan. SO. Many natives were drowned In the tidal wave that accom panted the volcanic outbreak of Mount Taal. according to reports received by the local papers. An A nerlcan schoolteacher, who has traversed the west shore of Lake Taal has telegraphed here that five small villages have been destroyed by a tidal nave, anui that 300 persons have oeen killed. A constabulary relief detachment re ports 12 rersons were drowned and one killed by lightning at Tallsay, and that three persons were drowned at Lemery. The government is hurrying a relief train to the scene. All of the towns within a radius of 20 miles were more or less damaged by the ahower of mud and tones. The eruptions continued today. The sky was cloudless and there was no wind, but the muddy rain fell heavily, The natives have abandoned their vil lage homes In the vicinity of Lake Taal, and sought refuge In the surrounding bills. Mount Taal rises in the center of Lake Taal, a body of water not more than 15 miles In circumference. It Is 34 miles from this city, from which dense clouds of smoke rising from the crater are plainly visible. The observatory authorities believe that Manila Is In no danger, but there Is some alarm among the natives, who recall the destruction occasioned by Mount Mayon, the othjer volcano of Luzon, in 1897. So far. however. Mayon has shown no threatening disturbance. Investigators of the Bureau of Sci ence report that with the first violent eruption of Taal on Saturday the vol canlc island appeared to sink five feet and the waters of the lake, rising, swept the shores a mile Inland, car rying away the bamboo snacks ana catching a score of natives. Others liv ing in the vicinity had taken warning t the first rumblings of the volcano. The towns of Taal. Lemery and Tallsay seem to have suffered most. Mount Taal rises 1050 feet from the center of Lake Taal, Province of Ban- tagas. Luzon. It m the second volcano In Importance In Luzon, and has ex perienced eight violent disturbances, preceding the present one, since 1709. It has been more or less active from time Immemorial. Its most destructive eruptions occurred In 1764 and con tinued for a period of six months, caus ing much loss of lite and enormous de struction of property. There were less serious outbreaks In 1808 and 1873. In 1769 Mount Mayon was In eruption for two months, destroying the towns of Cagsauaa and Mallnao, together with aeveral villages. In 1814 It burst forth again, destroying five towns. Another eruption occurred In May, 1897, when 400 persons lost their lives. The latest outbreak, less severe, was In March, 1900.

BUCK STOVE FIGHT WANES But Vnlted States Court Asks Battle Be Fought to End. WASHINGTON. Jan. 30. Weary of fighting each other, but forced by the law to continue, the Buck Stove & Range Company, of St. Louis, Mo., and the American Federation of Labor pre sented an unusual spectacle today in the Supreme Court of the United States. , Enemies once, but friends at present, the court was directing them to fight to the end the charges of contempt of court brought In the heat of a labor war by the corporation against the union officials.

Southwestern Oregon Is to try the experlement of reforestratlon rlth the big trees of the Hot Springs coun try. This timber closely resembles the big California redwood, which is found only along the southwestern coast and particularly In Curry Coun ty. The seed for these trees has been re ceived by Forest Supervisor Fromme of Gold Beach, who intends to sow it on a favorable site In the redwood district to see If It Is not possible to extend' the range of the big tree so it can be successfully grown over a large area. Four pounds of the seed were received, which will be sufficient to sow about five acres. During the year the forest service has grown about 50.000 trees in a small nursery near Waldo. About four thousand of these are Eastern nara- woods, and Include the black walnut. red oak. shag bark hickory, and a tree, native of China, known as the Chinese pitache. The remaining 46,000 consist of the common fir. spruce, and three Europlan species, known as the Austria, Scotch and Maritime pines, and also a cedar of Asia that is said to be particularly suited to dry rocky slopes, having severe exposure. The hardwood species will De trans planted this winter on the Winchuck river In Southwestern Curry County. Conditions In that locality seem es pecially favorable, as on an acre of Eastern hardwooa planted mere lasi Spring, most of the trees have made a thrifty growth and appear well suit ed to the locality. The Pacific slope is poorly supported In native hardwood trees that are well suited for wagon work, furniture or agriculture Implements, and should Eastern species do well here the nat ural shortage of this class of material can be averted.

BULLETIN NO. 24 The Public Side of Street Railroading By PATRICK CALHOUN President United Railroads of San Francisco, San Francisco, CaL No men, not even those engaged in public life, come in such close contact with the people of the cities of this country as those who manage their daily transportation. From this contact we learn an important fact the utter indifference of the general public to what may be termed the private side of street railroading. How many of the general public do you find who understand the tireless energy, the constructive genius, the wasted experiments, the tremendous labor which have been required to develop the ' art of electrical transmission necessary to propel economically a street car? How many who know that the modern system of electrical propulsion of street cars is only 23 years old? How many who consider the tre mendous amount of individual initiative, spurred into activity by the desire of individual advancement, that has been required to develop the art to its present state? How many who realize the vast sums expended during the past 25 years, in constructing, first, your horse car lines; their conversion into cable lines, and then, the conversion of the cable lines into electrical lines; or the amount wasted in abandoned electrical machinery the abandonment of which has been forced by the steady improvement which has been made in the art and yet, many of your modern, up-to-date railroads represent the en tire cost of these successive stages. How many comprehend the painstaking care required to make the schedules of a railway system, to handle efficiently the people who crowd upon the cars at varying hours of the day? The creation of that vast and intricate machinery, which must be perfect in its minutest detail, necessary to convert your coal or oil into electricity, and to transmit it economically to the motors on the cars; or to harness the drops of rain or melting snow, which for un told ages have run to riotous waste down the barren rocks of your mountain sides, and convert the wild freedom of your waterfalls into a power which tamely propels your street cars; the faithful, unseen, 24-hours-a-day task of sleepless management; the thorough, systematic organization and discipline necessary to public safety may all be included in the private side of street railroading, which the public ignores. If so much of railroading is involved in the private side, one may well ask "What is left to the public side?" Theoretically, the public side should be confined to three proposi tions: Tirst: That the complicated machinery and organization of a street railroad system shall result in cheap, first-class and efficient service. Second: That the best methods of granting the use of streets for transportation purposes shall be adopted, and full payment be made for such use. Third: 'Whether a higher return for the use of the streets and a better and more efficient streetcar service thereon can be more cheaply obtained through public than through private operation.
