OHBttON, MABCH U Thb lat two sett of the Oregon legia latara wera tba moat meritorious, that ol electing George W. McBride to the United SUtea senate, followed by ad journment. Thb. Mist baa for several month op posed the re-eleclioo of Senator Dolph, ad bas repeatedly given it reasons for aa doing, ao tbat it ia not necessary at tbii time to repeat tbem.' But suffice it to say that these same reaaona urged by Tmm Mist have resulted in Columbia county having a United States senator. Ta fruit pest k w is the first import ant measure which has passed both souses o( the legilature thia session. It appropriates $9000 for a stale board which ia empowered to quarantine or destroy orchard afflicted with fruit devouring insects. Its success depends largely upon the personal efforts of the a m . a a snemDers or me rjoaru. EEPBKSkKTATIVS CLKETUW did the crowning act of hi life when at Balem kat Saturday night while the banda of the clock were rapidly climbing up ward toward the twelve dot, be arose and placed in nomination Hon. G. W. McBride for United States senator. It was a signal for a stampede from Dolph and an election followed on the neit ballot. X, THB croaker ia ever abroad in the land lamenting over the probable dis asters of the country. When it rains it ia going to be too wet, and when it Isn't raining there ia going to be a drought. Notwithstanding the fact tbat for the last two seasons some of the land in this vicinity has been tilled While it was too wet, probably greatly to the detriment of the land and the crop, yet there are now people in this section lamenting over a probable drought because we have not had touch snow this winter. Old and ob servant settlers will not be very much alarmed over thia fact, they know that the ground is thoroughly wet at pres ent, and if we gel our nsual June and July rains we will have a bounteous harvest, and Without these we cannot expect a Urge yield. The greatest ob stacle that the farmers of this section have to contend with is that the ground 1 usually so wet tbat that the farmers cannot get their crops in early enough. Give us a spring dry enough to admit Of farming by the first of April and there is scarcely a doubt but that the farmers' toil will be richly rewarded. jSiSTOBT repeats itaelf. Four and ten years ago the Oregon ian opposed Mitchell, resorting to most disgraceful tactics to accomplish its object, but Mitchell was each time elected; it fought Pennoyer each time in iis usual bulldozing way, yet Pennoyer was elected and re-elected in face of large republican odds. The latest proof that the Oregonian has little or no influence is demonstrated by its support of Dolph. There is no disput ing the fact tbat the Oregonian did a great deal toward defeating Senator Dolph, and there is no longer any doubt in the minds of the people that any measure or any man that the "only" paper ctiampions vigorously will be detested. For Instance, the Portland charter bill, the McGinn sal ary bill, and, In tact, every other meas ure supported by that paper, were de feated ; and then because the legisla ture refused to be dictated to by the monopoly organ! the Members are called fool, knaves, bastards and other pet names. Vtrily the Oregonian' support is a boomerang to Hfiy man or measure in the state of Oregon. COLUMBIA C0UNTT REJ01CIS, The closing scene of the Oregon leg islature in electing George W. McBride to the United Slate senate ou Satur day night was not entirely unexpected here, While Mr. McBride did not urge his cause or even seek the honor at the hands of this legislature, his triends have expected this happy result for some time, and the news of his election was received in this city amid great rejoicing. Indeed were our people proud of one who had received the unanimous vote of the representa tive! of his party a recommendation that speaka volumes for one near and dear to Columbia county to the most high honor in the gift of the people of the state, and to a position requiring a man of courage, pelnolism and statesmanship. In Senator McBride the people have a representative in whom they can en trust their welfare, and one who stands ever ready, willing and able, to defend their interests. And above all, one who is honest, conscientious and above reproach. Bach a man will do Oregon honor iu jh national body, and asso ciated with colleagues like Senator Mitchell and Representatives Ellis and Hermann, can be of invaluable service to the state. Thb Mist congratulates Columbia county on being prepared to furnish the state of Oregon a man like Mr. McBride for United States senator. It also congratulates the thirty members of the legislature whose undaunted courage and patriotism brought about this very wise selection. (Qevge Wycltf McBride a native son ol Oregon, having been born in Yamhill coantv hi 1851. He is a son of Dr. James McBride, at one time United States mi sis ter to Hawaii. Mr. McBride was educated in the common schools and at Willamette University, Balem. and the State Normal school at Monmouth. In 1867 his parents left Yamhill county and located at St Helena, Colombia county, which place he has made his home ever since. In 1883 he was elected to ths Oregon home of repre sentatives, and was subsequently ehosen apeaker of that body. In 1886 Mr. McBrii'e was nominated by the lepobucaas for sec retary of state, and was elected, though several candidates on the republican ticket were defeated. So well wera the duties of hi office performed that he was renomi nated in 1890 and re-elected By the largest majority which had ever been given to any candidate in this state. He served ont bis aecond full term and retired the first of the present year to give way to his success or. The senator elect is the youngest of a family of fourteen children, all of whom have attained prominence m both political and social life. His brothers are John B. McBride, who waa congressman from this state in early days snd afterward a iudgeol th supreme court of Utah ; Judge Thomas A. McBride, of the Kifth judicial district, and Dr. James McBride, sn eminent physi cian of Wisconsin. His sisters are Mrs. Dolman and Mrs. Butler of this city, Mrs. Dr. Yeargain and Mrs. ex-Governor Woods ofSanJese, Cel., Mrs. Holman of Wood land, Cat., Mrs. C. O. Caples of Columbia City, and Mrs. B. F. OUtner of Salem. It was Mr. McBride's early purpose to become a lawyer, and with that end in view, after leaving school, be entered the law office of Judge J. C. Moreland, of Port land. He remained three years, but dur ing the greater part of the lime he suffered much from bad health and did not make the progress be dedred. He then, engaged in mercantile pursuits in St. Helens, con tinuing in the business for several years. During much of the lime be wss secretary of state Mr. McBride battled with physical weakness, but his will being strong, he was able to be almost constantly at bis post of duty and personally ts administer the manifold duties of Ms office. Borne month ago he placed himself under the care of New York physicians and ia now aa better health than for years. Mr. McBride is truly an "Oregon boy," baring lived here all bis life with the exception of two years which were spent in San Francisco.) Now the news reaches us that work is to commence, immediately on the Astoria railroad, and may the state ment he true. The country demands a move of that kind. The Plaak Walk. Just aa we are going to press we are told that the new walk from Houllon to ibis place Is nearly completed, hav ing reached the corner of the Blakes ley garden, from Houllon this way. If Sunday is a nice day the Houllon people may expect an unusually large number of visitors, as more than likely there will be a general exodus from this place for the day. The ferry Nearly Ready. The Vancouver ferry-boat, which was sunk at the bead of Shaw's island a short time since, has had the hole in her side repaired, and has, besides, had her machinery thoroughly overhauled, and has been repainted, and ia now ready for business. She will probably be put on the route again today. Per sons who have occasion to cross the Columbia with teams will be glad to know she is running again, for, al though the boat em ployed in her place has been carrying teams and wagons where possible, it has been consider able trouble to unhitch teams and get wagons on and off the bow of an ordi nary steamer. ' Mild Weather East of Mountains. The weather has been as mild and springlike in Eastern Oregon as in this section, and the snow on the Bockie has begun to melt and the Snake river is rising. The waUr is already so high that the force employed by Captain Syinons, United States engineers, in improving tbe navigation of the Sake between Huntington and the Seven Devils country, by blasting rock out of tbe channel, has been compelled to cease operations. Mr. P. G. Easiwick, who bas had charge of the party, is laying ftp the drill, scows, etc., and op eratiana Will not be resumed until af ter the flood in the river is over. Every one will be pleased to know that the Snake ia running off so early in the season, as thia lessens the probability I of high water here iu June. To Help Fruit Interests. The governor has signed the bill to amend the old aot creating the state board of horticulture. The new law confers more power on the members of that board, making them quaratine officers, with power to quarantine any fruit or trees imported into this state. There are three commissioners to be appointed, and, as soon as this is done the board will get to work. The board bad no qaarantine power before, and it now has power to declare all worth less trees which are damaging other trees or orchard a nuisance ; aud, if they are not taken care of. to call the attention of the county court to the matter. The board baa not authority, as some suppose, to go out and order immediate destruction of old orchard wheiever it pleases. The board con sists of five commissioners, three of whom are yet to be appointed by the governor and secretary of state for the second, fourth, and fifth districts. History Repeats Itself. The middle Columbia is just now furnishing a large amount of sturgeon for the Eastern markets, says The Dalles Chronicle. This once despised shark is now selling at three or four times as much per pound as the once royal, but now deposed, chinooa. Thousands of pounds are sent to Port land every day on the Regulator from down-river points, and some of the fishermen are making from $30 to aa high as $90 per day. These rubber-nosed sharks (the fish, not tbe fish ermen) are put in refrigerator cars and shipped East, and in passing through the Bad Lands of Dakota are changed in their character, arriving in New York as halibut, or sea bass, just as the market bappena to demand. This versatility on the part of the sturgeon ia what gives it a greater value than the red-fleshed salmon, which cannot travel under an alias. Two Were Drowned. Tnalaoit nf Pharlaa OalriweU It was Charles F. Col well who was drowned in the Nehalein, and Hugh Fraxer was alafh rimaviutaf. Whila cumins down the river, near the mouth of Bock creek, 10 miles below Mihawaka,their boat struck a rock and was overturned. Vniir nther rjAnrnna were in the boat when she struck, but managed to get ashore. fraxer ana uoiweu were limlvnr livatnr and both had claims on the Nehalem. Tbey were both ain gle men. tne former agea aooutaoanu the tatter 21, and both were well known around Astoria. It ia feared tbat the bodies will never be recovered, aa the current is very swift, and they no doubt will be swept out into the ocean. Miss Lizzie Gill more is reported quite sick, but we did not learn the cause of her indisposition. The ateamer Joseph Kellogg came down yesterday morning, after a layoff tor some time. The familiar whistle of the steamer Mascot is once heard after a silence of several months. STATE SCHOOL. TAX. The bill or Smith of Josephine, providing a state school tax, bas pa-sed the legisla ture. Following is the full text of the bill : "Section 1. There is hereby levied snd the proper officers shall collect a tax of one mill upon the dollar of all the property in the state, subject to taxation for each fiscal year for tbe support of tbe common school fond. "Section 2. The revenue raised under the provisions of this set shall be and here by ia appropriated for the common sellouts only. ''Sections. One-third of the revenue raised nnder this act shall be paid into the irreducible school fund and be a part there of, and the remainder shall be distributed among the counties as the hi teres t from tbe irreducible school fund now is."
