The lumber trade all over the country ii t a standstill except on the Facilio coast, any advance sheets of the Puget Sound Lumberman. The, oldest in habitant fails lo recall a wor e winter than the prwnt in the eastern states. Much snow hits fallen everywhere, and pring will prove a temporary draw tack to the trade, but the demand this year, from all indications will be fully a large as last year. Naturally the World's fair will retard much building, but enough building will ensue in the summer and full to makeup for the dis crepancy of the spring months. Notwithstanding the increased cut of lumber and shingles in Minnesota and Wisconsin lst year, white pine stocks are 200,000,000 feet short. This will have to be made up from yellow pine and fir. Now that lower rates on fir have been obtained, it is safe to say that a large portion to make up the deficiency will come from the Pacific Northwest. Poplar stocks are small, and as a result inquiry for Washington pine (spruce) is ou the increase. Several satisfactory shipmeuta have already been made. Our red cedar shingles have attracted the attention of eastern lumbermen to the wonderful resources of Oregon and Washington. They, the lumbermen, reasoned that if Washington can pro duce such excellent shingles theluraber products must also be superior. Never have so many prominent eastern lum bermen visited Fuget Sound as during the past three months. That they are satisfied with the lumb:r and shingles of this section is cor robe rated in the . number of orders placed here. If all the lumbermen of the east would pay the Pacific coast country a personal visit during the winter months, when they have some leisure, the question of an eastern market for Pacific northwest lumber products would be easily and quickly settled. Ir the Kansas legislature would now adjourn the members of that dis organized farce might yet be held in grateful remembrance by the people of that state. With a populist senate and governor and republican boose the legislature can expect to accomplish nothing, owing to the bitter feeling which exists between the factions. That state is indeed in a bad muddle. The members of the populist house, which was docided illegal by the su prerne court, have already drawn their pay from the state treasury, amount ing to $20,000, which, of course, the treasurer is responsible for. As mat ters now stand all legislation originat ing in one house will be repudiated by the other, hence no good can be ac complished. The governor, too, is at war with the lower house and many measures of importance coming from that branch will be vetoed by the ex ecutive on purely political grounds. i Thk Oregonian is to the point with the following : "It would be interest ing to learn what portion of those per sons who are deploring the extrava gance of the legislature in its appro priations for the world's fair, militia etc., pay taxes, and how much. The loudest howls against taxes usually "come from those who pay the least." WASHINGTON LETTER. From our regular correspondent.) Washington, February 24, 18S3. The president is by no means alone in the belief that the existence of s combination of bankers and others, in. ternational in its membership, formed for the express purpose of compelling a, new issue of bonds, presents a prob lem of grave importance, not only to the present administration, but to all future administrations. If this com bi nation can by creating an artificial demand for. gold compel an issue of bonds to the extent of f 50,000,000, what is to preveut the same tactics re sulting in an issue of as many billions? The president believes that if the mem bers of this combination are once con vinced that no bonds will be issued the unusual and uncalled for demand : for gold will cease as suddenly as it began, and for that reason he is un alterably opposed to issuing bonds. Some disgraceful scenes occurred in the cloak rooms and corridors of the house during the all-night session of the house this week caused by filli bustering on the part of the Southern members against the passage of the bill compelling railroads to adopt an automatic car coupler, which has al ready been once passed by the house and is now back there with senate amendments. Whiskey made monkeys of some of the members. A vote on the bill was staved off until next week. Secretary John W. Foster officially retired from the "cabinet yesterday, and tomorrow he will sail for Europe to take charge of the case of the United States before the Behring Sea arbitration tribunal. The vacancy will probably not be filled, as Assist ant Secretary of State Wharton pre fers to act as secretary while retaining the present position. From the best information obtaina ble nothing will be gained by electing another senator in Kansas, as Martin, the democrat-populist, has already se- cured the promise of being seated as soon as the democrats take charge of the senate, from Gorman and Brice.j the twin bosses who engineered his election. Senator Gorman could a tale unfold, j if so disposed, that would explain why ! W. N. Roach, a democrat, was elected i to tho senate by the republican legis lature of North Dakota. It was the j direct result of plans made by Gorman some time ago, when Senator Brice and he formed a combination of bruins and cash, for the purpose of muking sure that the senate of tlu Fifty-third congress would be safely democratic, j Well, there is no longer any doubt; the senate will be reorganised by the democrats, presumably, as soon as it meets in extra session on the 4th of March. The man elected to the sen ate by the North Dakota legislature j has other disqualifications besides be- i ing a democrat. He is well kuown iu Washington, where he was for some years cashier of a national pank, but his manner of leaving here was not calculated to cause those who knew him to expect senatorial or any other kind of honors for him. He was a de faulter to the bank to a very large amount, and if his wife's rich father had not made the money good some where between $50,000 and 175,000 it was said at the time Mr. Roach might be serving a term in prison in stead of the senate. Mr. Roach may have lived beyond reproach since he left Washington, but as a matter of right and justice republicans have a right to know what is here told, with out malice, of the man elected senator by republican votes. A republican se tin tor, speaking of the matter, said : 'There are some defaulters in that legislature, too." There is an element in the house which threatens to take the responsi bility for the calling of an extra ses sion out of Mr. Cleveland's hands. It is made up of populists and free coinage democrats, nnder the lead of Jerry Simpson and Tom Watson, who think they see in the Sherman amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, providing authority for the issue of 3 per cent bonds, if necessary to increase the gold reserve, which is strong enough to carry out its threat, can be convinced that it has placed a wrong interpretation on the bond amendment it proposes to kill the entire appropria tion bill, in order to kill the amnedment Some of the appreciation bills might fail without an extra session absolutely necessary, but the Sundry Civil isu't one of them. The bill has been passed by the Senate. ; Senator Palmer, of Illinois, gave the anti-soldier democrats a pain in their lower regions when he said in the Sen. ate that he did not believe that any po litical party would ever refuse to make proper appropriations for pensions, or that the next administration would have any new policy on that subject. The first annual convention of the i Bimetallic League of America, formed to secure free coinage legislation, is now in session here. " All of the big populists including Mrs. Lease, are present; consequently talk is plenlituL The anti-option bill was given a black eye by tbe Appropriation com mittee in the House this week. Mr. Hatch, who is in charge of it, says it is, however, still in the ring. The Situation In Kansas Topkka, Kan., Feb. 27. Kansas tomorrow will have only one house of representatives. The populists were in caucus all today considering what action to take', in view of the decision of the supreme court tbat the republi can house was the legally organized one. After much discussion it was formally decided tonight tbat the pop ulist members should join the republi can house tomorrow. They will de mand, however, that the house pass an appropriation for the payment of sal aries and the per diem of the officers and members of the populist house to date. The populists decided also tbat no bills should be passed excepting those nec essary to keep in motion the machi nery of the state, and that an adjourn ment should be reached as speedily as possible. AM IKQUIHV ORDERED. The senate today empowered tbe elections committee to inquire into the election of Chief Justice Horton, of the supreme court. The populists say they believe Horton was illegally de clared elected in 1890 over tbe populist candidate, Rightmeier. Their action seems dictated by revenge for the de cision of the supreme court declaring the populist bouse illegally organized. Mrl Albert Widger, who lately lived at Mooresville, has moved to St. Helens and is occupying the house where A. B. Little formerly lived. QjR p 5) MP The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.

The governor last week filed six vetoes with the secretary of state. Sen ate bill 65, Bancroft's school district boudiiie act. is vetoed, as being simi lar in its provisions to house bill 154, already tiled. House bill 180, a dupli cate of senate bill 80, relating to game, fish and water fowl, is vetoed for the mime reason. Then there are vetoes of the Durham ballot bill, Paxton's amendment to the lien foreclosure law, Cowan's artesian well act and another house, fish and game bill The vetoes read: -I rtnm herewith house bill No. 103 with my veto. Section 414 ol the cods pro vitliu that liens tiDon rent Drouerty. other than a judgment or decree, whether created by mortgage or otherwise, snail oe ior ..Insod ami the uruuertv adiudiced 10 Or sold to satisfy the debt secured thereby, by suit. It has been held by tlie supreme court ihnt this method ot foreclosure is ex clusive and imperative, and an attempt to prescribe a different metnotl in tne mort- raee or writing creating a lien upon real property must be disregarded. The bill herewith returned prescribes an entirely new and different rule, and permits the parties to a mortgage, deed or trust, or other instrument of writing to secure the navment of money, to agree therein upon any terms ol sale they may desire. Such contract, when made, becomes a part of the security and shall pass by assignment of the mortgagee, or trustee, or his admin istrators or executors, Investing such aa loniut with thn n&iiie nosrera and rights as the original parties had. The act does not provide tor a public sule of tin debtor s nronertv. No notice by publication or otherwise Is required to be given upon breach of covenant or condition, and It not otherwise snecilled in tbe tnortxsge or deed of trust, the sale may be made privately and without the intervention oi tne court If this hill becomes a law it permits tbe lender to Impose such terms as he may see nt, as a condition precedent to lending ms monev. and would enable him to sell the property of his debtor summarily, and de prive him of his home without other notice than that contained in the deed of trust or mortgage. Under the law as it now stands very man has his day in court, but the bill returned herewith deprives him of that right. If his pressing needs should ever in duce him to execute such an instrument as ii permitted to be framed thereunder." "I herewith return house bill No. 110 with my dissent. The purpose of the bill is similar to that of senate bill No. 103, al ready Sled. Both provide for the protec tion of game and fish. But while the sen ate bill provides for the selection of a game and fish protector by the legislative asera bly, the houie bill provides for this selec tion by a commission thus elected. The legislature, by the provisions of the house bill, would thus be delegating to a commis sion tbe right to select an officer to enforce state laws, a right which it is doubtful if it itself possesses, but which, if possessed , it hss no authority to delegate to others. This is a most unwarranted departure from the true spirit of the constitution, which compels the governor to make oath that 'he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed,' and which, therefore, confers upon him, instead of upon the legislature, or upon a commission not recognised by tbe constitution, the appointment of .ail officers for the enforcement of state laws. I veto the bill." "House bill No. 175, amendatory of the election law, is herewith returned with my disapproval. The present election law has only been in operation for the past two years. It has secured that which every citizen should desire, the secrecy and sanctity of tbe ballot. The citizens of Ore gon have become familiar with its provis ions, and objections plausible at the time of its enactment are pointless now, after suc cessful trial.- Although doubtlessly not in tended, the effects of the change proposed by this bill would be to destroy in a meas ure the secrecy of the ballot and to aflord an opportunity for vote-buying. This re sult, it is most certain, would be desired neither by the legislature nor by the people. I, therefore, veto the bill." "House bill No. 206 is herewith returned with my disapproval. It provides for an appropriation of money raised by a general tax 'for the sinking of artesian wells In the several counties of the state of Oregon con taining arid lands.' Such an expenditure of money is neither for governmental pur poses nor for tbe general benefit. It would be an appropriation from the geueral fund for a local purpose, and would, therefore be unjust, if not unconstitutional. Besides, under the terms of the bill, it would be in conflict with section 8. article 9, of the con stitution. I veto the bill." CARICO. The weather for the psst two weeks has been averagely good for this time of the year. The snow is melting rap idly and the five feet which we had in this section of the country will soon be a thing of tbe past; that is, if we do not get a new supply; wbicb, if we should, would cause great suffering to stock, as hay and grain is almost ex hausted with most every one, and no possible show of getting a new supply, Mr. C. Sauervm went to Portland Friday where he will spend a few dsye. We have made mention before of our roads being Impassable, especially the St. Helens and Carico road across Milton creek bottom. But we will now say if the snow still continues to disappear as it has we will soon be able to cross the bottom in a row boat. Some of our business men anticipate akin oivder: building a terry, which, if they should, would be a great benefit. We see William Miller, of Spring valley, quite frequently wending his way to one of our neighbor, where the last young lady of this beautiful valley resides. lie says he is only go ing to see the young lady's father, but we presume it is more than that, or hope so at any rate. We recently heard the report that a certain young man stated that be be lieved the people in this settlement were afraid of him. That young man need not be uneasy about that, as these people were not brought up in the woods to be scared out by hoot owls. Cetalerlae la PennaylTanlsv.
