When Smith's name was called he said he would stay till Monday, bnt did not want it understood that he would stay here ipdefinitely. j,' After the result was announced Reed asked the president if the senate was to meet in the afternoon. He thought some of the senators who voted for the resolution misunderstood its import. Smith the moved to reconsider the vote. He was seconded by Daly. The president put the motion and it was lost. This settled the question of ad journment. -. , Oowan of the judiciary committee re ported the Gowan salary bill with amendments.

M. Richard Kuhne, of Tigardville, Or., was in Portland recently, and . showed much interest in the agitation for establishing the beet-sugar industry in the Northwest Mr. Kuhne is a graduate of the National Agricultural college, of Berlin, and for the last twenty years has devoted his time to the study and work of producing sugar from beets. With an extended experi ence in Germany, and being one of the prime-movers in establishing the Grand Island sugar factory, in Nebraska, he is in position to furnish Valuable informa tion on the subject Mr. Kuhne was connected with that factory until about three years ago, and during the period was for some time agricultural expert of the state. When interviewed on the practicability of the industry in this section, he was enthusiastic, and ex pressed great confidence that the move ment on foot would result in some sub stantial benefits, as it was a similar condition of depressed markets that in duced the -Nebraska farmers to launch into the business. Several tests and experiments he has made in producing the beets were said to be most satisfac tory. The Northwest needs an organ isation, he thinks, which will take hold of the matter in systematic manner, and concentrate the minds of the peo ple to the vast wealth that must follow intelligent cultivation of beets for the manufacture of sugar. He kindly offers his services gratis if expenses are de frayed, to give instructions to any coir . lection of farmers that will take an interest in the matter. To a reporter, Mr. Kuhne said: "The belief prevails that the dry weather we have for a period during the summer and autumn months will be in jurious to beets grown for sugar manu , factum. I have proven this to be not true by actual experiments. Beets re quire a deep soil, and careful cultiva tion. Given these, which the North west is more capable of furnishing than many other localities that are now im mensely prosperous in the the same business, beets require less rain than other vegetables.' While I was connect ed with the Grand Island factory, in Nebraska, this quality of the beet was fully shown. In 1890 the season was so dry that the grains on ears of corn would not form; oats, barley and wheat, as well aa vegetables, were a failure. Everything was dried up by the south winds, except the beets. They stood it finely, and yielded from six to ten tons per acre, with from sixteen to twenty per cent of saccharine matter. This was the only income the farmers had that year, and immediately the state gave the farmers a bounty, in recognition of the importance of the crop. "Beets thrive best in sandy soil, with a uttie clay mixed, or in a clayey soil, with a little sand. This combination of soil has been proven to produce the best and richest beets. Bottom lands. along rivers grow greater quantities, bnt the beets contain less saccharine mat ter. By careful cultivation, bottom lands can be made to produce beets yielding from twelve to fifteen per cent sacclianne, while uplands will yield from sixteen to twenty per cent sacch arine. The uplands have about aver aged ten to twelve tons per acre, while bottom lands go much over this. "During the three years that I have been in Oregon, I have each year raised some sugar beets, part of which have been submitted to analysis at the ex perimental station in Corvallis, and a few have been sent to other places for tests. My experiments with beets on the uplands has been a yield of twelve tons an acre, with saccharine contents from sixteen to eighteen per cent. This test of saccharine waasmade by the ex perimental station at Corvallis, and by careful cultivation the per cent could have been raised to twenty easilv. The same beets, after many neavy rains, 130,000. Accompanying the bill was occurring about the 8th of November. ! the report of Civil Engineer S. L. Lov- Thlrty- Jolat Session Accomplished Nothing. ' long before the time of the conven ing of the joint assembly Friday people began to enter the galleries of the house. When the noon hour arrived the galleries were crowded in the ex pectation that voting for senator would kegin. Their anticipations were not realised, however. The proceedings were but a repetition of previous ones. When Chairman Brownell called the convention to order he said that he was in receipt of letters from Representa tives Hudson, Mitchell and Vaughan saying tbey are still too ill to attend. The roll was then called, showing that thirty -six members were present. Representative Wagner was in his seat for the first time .for several days. Tho Bonaoa Room. The Benson house met Friday morn ing and Crawford's resolution to de-. clare vacant the seats of the twenty-i seven unqualified members was called up. Somers argued the question from its legal standpoint and claimed that this act would not be to expel the mem bers, but simply to open the way to fill their seats.. : .: r- Huntington took issue with Somers. He did not think the house had a right to declare the seats vacant It had a right to notify the governor simply that these men had failed to take the oath of office and let him act accordingly. There was some further discussion by Nosier, Lake and Crawford, and it was decided by a vote of 19 ayes, 7 noes to defer the matter. To Build Portage Hallway. The feature of Thursday morning's session of the senate was the adoption of a substitue for the bill introduced by Senator Michell relating to the con struction and operation of a portage railway from The Dalles to Celilo. The substitute was reported by Senator Har mon, chairman of the committee on Commerce and navigation, which com mittee had made a visit to the scene and personally examined the ground over which the proposed road is to be built The substitute bill differs from that proposed by Senator Michell in that provision is made for the procure ment of trackage facilities from the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com-! pany and the sale of material now owned by the state in the event such trackage arrangement with the U. K. St N. Co. is made. It also reduces the amount of the appropriation from $195,000 to Wore Present, Bat Aenene- ;, pltsbea Nothing. Thirty-one members of the Mitchell joint assembly mot at the capitol la Salem Monday and discussed the sena torial situation at length and in all its phases. It was 1 secret conference, but it is known that no formal aotion look ing ' either to continued support of Mitchell or his withdrawal was taken. Driver, Sommcrs, Patterson of Marion, Taylor, Reed, Gowan, Nosier, David, Veness and others spoke; ' Some of these advocated supporting Mitchell to the end.'"..'.: Taylor made several earnest talks. It was to the effect that the interests of the Republican party were higher than those of anyone man; but he added that the members of this oonterenoe ought to have the right to name the candiadte, if it is seen that Mitchell cannot be elected. Jtced wanted to fight it out on this line if it took all summer. , He did not believe in allowing the minority to dic tate to the majority. Senator Patterson, of Marion, thought the thirty-one could afford to hold out in their present attitude, and he invit ed the opposition to "lay on, Macduff." There was some talk Monday that it was the purpose of the opposition to come in and organise the bouse during the afternoon. But it , was without foundation. K. j While the number of absentees from the Mitchell joint assembly was six, there was just one. voluntary with drawal. That was Representative Mitchell, of Marion. .. Mr. Mitchell is no orator and did not think it necessary to set off any fire works in joint assembly, announcing his purpose. He simply stayed out, which is quite aa effective as any way of getting at it The Mitchell cause baa suffered se verely through sickness. ;: Representa tive Hudson, of Washington, who had been in bed since last Wednesday, was sent to the Salem hospital. His phy sician says he has typhoid fever in a mild form, and that he will probably not be able to leave his room for several weeks. Representative Wagner is ill at his home in Portland, and it is said that it will not be safe for him to ven ture out for several days, if, indeed, he can be here during the week. Repre sentative vaughan is still quite sick, but he may be able to answer roll-call tomorrow, though this cannot be stated with certainty. The Davis house met at 11:45 Mon day night. Sixteen members were present. Adjournment was taken till five minutes after 13. When that time arrived, the house was again called to order, and adjourned till 9:30 A. M.

Representative Hudson, of Washing ton county, who is ill with typhoid fever at Salem hospital, is getting along satisfactorily under the care of Dr. Smith, representative from Marion. It was reported that Hudson was in a very critical condition, but Dr. Smith says he feel no alarm about him. Repre sentative Kruse (Populist), of Clacka mas, was yesterday taken to the hos pital. He is quite sick, and it is thought he has typhoid fever. Repre sentative Vaughan, of Lane, who has been ill with la grippe for a number I days, is convalescent Thirty-throe la Joint A seem b! jr. Monday's session of the joint conven tion developed nothing new. Chair man Borwnell called the joint assembly to order at 12 o'clock. He at onoe sub mitted letters from Vaughan, Hudson and Wagner. They were not read, but the clerk was directed to mark them excused. The roll wan called and showed the following thirty-three in attendance: Senators Brownell. Driver. Dufur.

The absence of Representative Mitch ell of Marion, was significant It is known that he has definitely declared that he will not return. It was expect ed that Mitchell would formally with draw, but he appears to think a speech unnecessary. Representative Venness. of Polk, was probably not able to return from his home, whither he went Fri day, on account of the storm. Senator Reed remained in the senate chamber during the entire time the convention was in session. It is not known that his absence indicated an intention to stay out hereafter. There were no speeches. After the reading of the journal had been dispensed with, the convention, on motion of Senator Har mon, adjourned. A number of Republican members of the opposition have received the follow ing self-explanatory dispatch: "New York, Feb. 15. Hon. George H. Hill, Salem, Or.: Failure to elect a Republican United States senator will jeopardize Republican reorganiza' tion ot the senate March 5. and en danger tariff legislation.' Oregon then would be responsible for continued hard times and the embarrassment of the in coming administration. "American Protective Tariff League. "Cornelius M. Bliss, President."

A case reported from Fresno county is that of a well-known former resident of Kingsburg, though now residing At Selina. ; , .. Mr. J. M. Purves is an old eeutle- man of 70, who, during his lon resi dence in ikingeDurg, was beloved alike by young and old, and he is equally en deared to tbe people of his new home. It was about July 15, 1896, that a reporter of the Republican met Mr. Purves, And was astonished to see such improvement in his appearance. He looked ten years younger and much stouter than when he moved away from, Kingsburg for the benefit of bis health, and he was congratulated on his im proved appearance. "I was all run down when I moved away," Mr. Purves said; "something like an old clock that is worn out, but I have undergone such repairs as I think will keep me in running order" for many years to come if no accident1 occurs." "What was the agent that wrought' the change, Mr. Purves," the reporter asked. "Was it Pink Pills? thev seem to be doing all the healing in Fresno1 county." "Pink Pills Are the very things that nave Duut me up," Mr. Purves an swered. "I. happened to read one of the advertisements of their healing qualities, and then read several more, and somehow there was something in the way the testimonials read that as sured me they were true. One in the San Francisco Examiner especially im pressed me, and I sent at once and bought some of the pills. I took them as directed, and I do not think I need tell you what tney have done for me. I am quite recovered and set back in the journey of life at least twenty years. I have done more work since I have taken them than for a long, long time oeiore, indeed l may say since long oeiore you were Dora.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or ex cesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60, and may be had of all druggists, or di rect by mail from Dr. Williams' Modi cine Company, Schenectady, N.

Tho new taken altogether would ordinarily bo considered very bullish, much more so than was represented .by such an ad vanoe as was in the end established While the foreigners appear liuliffor ent to tbe comparative strength of the wheat on this side, it is possible be cause they have so much already bough for shipment hence.
