Thirty- seveu uienibnrs of tho present congress were oorn in Ulilo, seventeen ol them being from other states. It is rather interesting that twelvo sillies aro rep resettled entirely in both senate and house by men who were born elsewhere. Missouri haa boon in the Union more than three-fourths of a century, but she apicara to have been a poor breeder of statesmen, for only seven out of her present delegation of seventeen are na tives. California is noted for state pride. and has an orgn luxation known as "the Native Hons of California, yet there is not a born Culifornian in either branch of congress. Maine has more sons in congress than Missouri bus. There are on the present rolls of senate and house twenty-one KcntiicKions, fourteen linor gians, twenty IlliuoisnMs. twelve Miss- Issinpians, seventeen luilmnans, eight lowans, twenty-one Tennesseeana, four teen Alabamans and only nine Missou rian. Tiikxk ia a background to the case of Kansas which shows what queer busi ness politics is. Something more than a rear ago the president olfored Kenator .ucieu Baker the federal judgeship. Not only was the tender made, but urged. Three time the senator wa asked to accept, lie wanted tha place. He would have laid down gladly the senator- ship Un a and prospective to go on the oencli, lor lus taste icwi nun in imam reetion. hlsaualiiications werennusual for the bench; his dislike of practical nolitica and particularly of problem ol atronage waa unconcealed. A sense of lonor, too keen for the occasion perhaps, prompted the senator to decline to IMS a candidate for the judgeship. It com pelled him to go so far as to tell the president he would not accept if his name was sent to the senate, perhaps the chief act of self-denial in his career. When the vacancy on the bench occured. political friends of the tenator, as he supposed them to lie. persuaded him to Indorse Judge Hook lor the place. A lie shift of conditions revealed the senator! a the choice of the president, and of a large share ol the people ol Kansas lor the judgeship. But senator Baker felt that bo was committed. Tho supposed political friends insisted that he must stick to the promiso. Thus it came about that Senator Baker put under foot the ambition of his life. The other day at Toka came to him the realization that some of those whose advice had cost him tiie plane on the bench had griue over to hia rival and bad made hi own re-election to the senate impossible. "Tne senator from Kansas!" When Vice President Roosevelt, from the pre siding ollicer's seat, makes this recogni tion of Mr. Burton, his memory will go backtoaecene winch was the turning Kjint at Philadelphia last summer, oosevelt was protesting against the nomination on tho national ticket. He bad almost persuaded the majority of tlin dhratca to resnoct his wishes. One day there filed into his parlor forty slal- wart men, alert ana aetertninea looting. A velvet sunflower was conspicuously pinned on the coat label of each of them. The leader, tall, black-haired, dramatic of manner, proceeded to aay that, with all due resixct to the personal feelings of the governor ot Mew xorx, me nau sn delegation had decided the interests of the republican party In their etate and in the nation at large would be beat ulieerved by hi nomination to the sec ond place. "And," concluded the spokesman, impressively, "we have just resolved unanimously that the vote of our delegation will be cast for you." The look of the delegation bore out the wonls of the head of It, and conveyea the idea that nothing remained to be said. Governor Roosevelt realised what kind of stud he wa dealing with. He bad been voluble and earnest with other callers. Ho looked along the line of ftun-klssedKansa sun-kissed eoun countenances and threw np his hands. To other subsequently he repeated his objections, but there was no force in his opposition after the Kansans had spoken. And tho spokesman will be "Senator" kurton when Vice President Roosevelt rapstoordor In the special session on Alarcn o. SENATORIAL VOTK.

COAIi IN COLUMBIA COUNTS'. Mncb Evidence of Tbl and Other i Minerals. Coi&um Ott. Feb. 0, 1001. (To the Editor.) There is so much talk about railroad to the Nehalem that I fear a repetition of the Tower of Balxd episode on the Euphrates river, near Babylon, two or three thousand years ago. There bus been a ruilroad survey and some work done the last few years from every direction save from above and Mow. However, I must say there is nothing in sight for a railroad to the Nulialoni except timber, and that of the best quality, unless coal lignite is con sidered valuable, and in that caso it is not necessary to go far from the Colum bia river or present railroad line, for here, only one mile from these higbwiiy we haveadepoaitof coal twelve feet thick, top eoai same as that on the Nehalem. No doubt a better grade of eoai could be found here, as this deposit is situated half way up the mountain In a bed of soft sandstone which is 300 feet thick. There has been coal found here which Mr. Fisk, the well-known mineralogiht, of Portland, pronounces coking conl, but no ledge of it has taien discovered, tho samples fouud, being, no doubt, float from a lower stratum. Now what I want to say is this, first consideration being plain truth: Mount Hood and I have been, in this county a long time, perhaps more in evidence us to time than anything clae. However, an old Oregon la ii is never afraid of the fish iu his story on the doubts of the other fellow. I have an Ananias as a background and so will proceed. I have prospected for coal, iron, and miners! springs in thia county for years, mostly between this place and the Ne liHleiu river, and along that river for more than forty miles. Also along and near the Columbia rivor from north to south of the county boundaries. My researches have resulted in finding coal, irop, and mineral springs throughout tho district from South Scappoose to Tido creek, on the north; that is to aay, tho minerals crop out and give other surface evidence in many of the deep cut creek in at least a dozen places. Tbs salt, and other mineral springs, in abont the same number on the same ground. The above district is all under laid with a formation of soft gray sand stone, which seems to be unbroken ex cept by cleavage, the same as the coal. There I one gas spring at this place, the top of the water of which will blaze from the touch of a match. I have visited several oil producing countries and have read extensively of the genesis and indications of petroleum and have seen so many evidence of it here that I have no doubt of the exist ence of oil in all the region spoken of above. There is one other thing I might speak of in connection with the de ecrilied district. Marl limestone is found in qnantios. This formation is simply a calcareous clay, composed largely ol shells and fragments oi snens. This formation is the residue of the early Bilurian and Devonian seas, which is well known by geologists, literally swarmed with trilibites and radiates and fishes, which for numbers and species, far outrank those of the present day, and thia condition of things lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, and the oil product of ail this animkl life was stored np in the present under ground river of oil. Now, aa a proof of wbat I have said, I will at any time, show these places of minerals and springs to any one that may wish to see mem, inu win uu oo free of charge in any manner. This lifts been my habit for years, my only wish being to see the country properly de veloped. We have spent several thous and dollars in driving tnnnels and bor ing for coal here, and thus far we have not developed what we want, bnt in the spring we are 'going down (it we don't f;o op) both for coal and oil; perhaps ft ittle gas, alao. There 1 a good bed eeveral feet thick of red mineral paint, near this place, which has been used for preserva tive purpose and found to last lor year. There is fireproof clay in abundance in this district, and several kind of useful mineral which I know nothing what ever about, but' which, no doubt, have much commercial value. 0. Q. C.
