THS LUMBER TRADE.
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.

rENNOYEU'S VETOES.
The Governor Gives HI Reasons
for Disapproving Bills.
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.
