THE OBEtJOXUS AND STATE MEXT SO. 1. The Portland Oregonian has come out in direct opposition to statement No. 1 and claims that it is not binding in a member of the Legislature if he does not approve of the people's choice, llemocratic members, it says, cannot be expected to vote for a Republican Sena- and Republican members cannot be i . pected to vote for a Democratic Senator. That is just exactly what they can and feliouki do provided the people so elect. If the people of the State of Oregon desire to elect a Democratic Senator they have a right to do so, and no mem ber of the Legislature has any right to oppose their choice. If the Oregon idea is carried out in good faith it will be adopted by other States aud in a few years we will have a United States Senate elected by the peo ple instead of by the corporations. That is what we want and that is what statement No. 1 means. MR. GEER'S MISSTATEMENTS The Official Record Confronts Him at Every Twist and Turn Mr. T. T. fleer, ho desires the nonii nation for Governor of Orcifon, make the follow I ui intensely small ami per sona! statement In the KegUieroi rco- ruarv lt)th. Wo publish it in full, ii order that its falsity may I completely shown. As to his petsonal attack npoi the editor of the Mist, we (miss that b as unworthy of any attention. It sim ply demonstrates the small caliber o the man : "Stump and pasture land," says Judge Hattan, "is assessed at about one-fifth of its cash value." This will be news to the rancher?. "We," says Judge Hattan, "are glad the grange has taken the matter op, but think they should investigate carefully before passing too many resolutions." "We" are glad the Judge is glad, bnt never before saw gladness manifested in so peculiar a manner. T. T. Oeer and Judge Hattan seem to be thinking along the same lines. Neither of them wants that bad man Flsgg nominated. Judge Lionel Webster is said to be hesitating as to whether he wants the Judgeship of Multnomoh County or the Senatorial toga. These hesitators very seldom get anything. The Portland detectives have under taken to drive all women of questionable character iu that city north of Hum side street. Now if they will do the same by all men of like character, what a boom there will be in rentals in that part of the town. Possibly the detectives them selves would have to live there. H. M. Cake, who announces himself as a candidate for United States Sena tor, is well known to the people of this county. He is a self-made man, who has achieved success bv bar 1 work in his chosen profession, and it can fairly' he said of him thsi he is Just as plain and unassuming as he was twenty or wore years ago, when briefs were scarce and fees small. He is Just the right age to enter the Senate and do good work for twenty y. art to come. The Rainier Review gives T. T. fleer a most complete roasting. It shows ap his emallness in such a manner as to make it plain that he is altogether nnOt to receive the Republican nomination for Governor and lie won't get It. In answer to a correspondent who wishes to discuss the tariO question, we are compelled to decline. Jiwt at pres ent we are engaged in a mill with Hon. R. S. Hattan and Tiniotht Titcomb fleer. When we get through with tlit-ne two gentlemen, if Mitchell will keep still for a moment, we may be open for an cjgiigeuieut. The Republican primary election in April should be conducted along clean, friendly lines. Tbe candidate who re volt! to mud throwing will not profit by udi course. Kditor Roister; Through the kind nest of a clipping bureau, I see that Mr Flagg is still engaged in his endeavor U prove to the people of Columbia County that Ananias only blaxed the way when he himseli stands at the head of the list. "Iu his paper o! the 22d of IVccmliei lie tars, speaking of the State Land Agent, 'the bit! cieating the office wa engineered through the Legislature b. Governor Geer, and he must have had in mind at the time appointment of hi; consin to Gil the office thus created.' "This is a lie. The truth is that the law creating the office of State Land Agent w ar passed at the session of four years before I became Governor, at the beginning of Governor Lord's ad ministration, and he appointed T. W. Davenport to B.I the office. "At the end of his term Governoi Lord recommended that the effiee be abolished, since there was no more lien land to be selected, but as there was a large number of farms which had come into possession of the State under fore closure, and no one to look after their renting, or sale, the law was amended so far as to make it the duty of the State Land Agent to rent these farms, collect the rent, and secure buyers for them as fast as possible. "This was a good piece of legislation, since during the following four years the tate I-and Agent soM niuety farms tor (188,000 which had cost the State 10o,- 000, a net gain to the State of (23,000. "Bnt even as to this amendment, I never mentioned the matter to a single member of the Senate or of the House though it would have been a wholesome thing tor the State if I had. "During my administration the State never lost an acre of land or one dollar in money on anv land transaction. "It has not been two months since Mr. Flagg, in Portland, urged me to I Je rome a candidate for the V. S. Senate, insisting that I was entitled to it from every point of view, adding that he would as willingly support me tor Gov ernor, but that he 'was tied np to an other man' for that position. He also informed me that he would be a member of the Legislature next winter from Col umbia County, and would take a special pleasure in supporting me for the U. S. Senate, and he hoped I would not get in the way of 'his man' for Governor. "There are numbers of splendid men in Columbia County far the Legislature, and it is to be hoped that the Republi cans down there will put this Flagg, always ready to adjust itself to what appears to be tbe most promising pass ing breeze, permanently at half-mast. "T. T. GEER." A lie, accirdiug to Webster, is an at tempt to deceive, but an erroneous state ment, not uttered for the purpose of de ceiving, is not a lie. Judged by this standard, Mr. fleer is the liar, and not the editor of the Mist, as we will clearly prove by the record. The office of State Land A;?ent was created by the Legislature of 1895 and the salary fixed at $1200 per annum. Hon. T. V. Davenport was appointed by Governor Lord to fill the office and he held it during Governor Lord's term. Tbe Cascade Forest Reserve had just been created a short time prior to his appointment and there was much in demnity due the State for the lost of school sections within the reserve. Mr. Davenport set about to give the public the benefit of the base and saw that base was furnished and selections made without charge. It was the first time iu the history of the State wheu one could have a selection tuade without going to some member of the laud ring and having to "dig np" in order to cure base for his selection. When Mr, Davenport's term of office had expired he stated that there was no more base available for selections and recommend ed the abolishment of the office. He believed this to be true, for he had nsed all the Cascade Reserve base and his age and lack of clerical assistance pre vented 1 im from making a complete sb struct of the records to ascertain what losses were unsatisfied. Had he been able to uo so lie would nave inn no: no doubt much unused base. He, however, gave some veiy good advice In hit re port, and had his recommendations been given any consideration by his successor the State School Fund would have been a great deal richer today. During the session of 18W (the time Governor Geer w as inaugurated) the law w as changed so as to add the care and disposition of the farms taken by the State through mortgage foreclosure to the duties of the State La ml Ajent, and his salary was fixed at $1800 per annum. This was a raise of ffiOO per annum, and L. 15. fleer, the Governor's cousin, was given the Appointment. Now can any man believe tbat T. T. fleer did not en gineer this deal? L. Ii. seems to have been willing to be guided by the report of his predecessor, io so far as the state ment that the base was all nsed ar.d lotece tntiifled is concerned, for we do ' tot And that he bothered his head about xamining the records to see if the base had all been nsed, but that he turned the lieu land business over to Odell and tther brokers who furnished the public with base fur a consideration. Nearly ill of Odell's base (near 100.000 acres' proved invalid, but many thousand fur nished by McCoriiKck aud others was rood, and was available all the timo, tnd should have been listed and fur nished to the public without charge by atatf Land Agent Geer. The ex-Governor teems to be prom! of the record of Cousin Bi with reference to tho disposition of I bo farina the Stale had on hand. lie says that during the four years of hit term he disposed of liuety farms for (ISo.OOO which had cost the State 166,000 a net gain to the State of $23,000. A careful examination of the records of the State Lund Ofllce shows that tho ex-Governor is not good at figures and that Cousin Bi is a dandy. Tbe reports of L. B. Gecr for the years 1901-2-3-4 show that he disposed of 150 farms, for w hich the State received, in round numbers, 121)5,000. and which cost the State f 508.000. or a loss of 143,000 to tbe school fund. The ninety farms Mr. Geer speaks of were sold for f 187,000, tnd the State lost $35,000 Instead of making $23,000, as stated by Mr. Geer. The following examples will give the public an insight into the Geer family's system of joggling with fgures for the lake of politics. These figures and those ibove can be veriiied by examining the records of the State Land office : On the 28th of April, 1804, the State loaned J. W. Cnnu $3,8H0 ou mortgage security. Conn got behind in his inter est and the State foreclosed and bid in the place in June, 1890. The entries on the book of the Stale Lnnd Olhee are as follows: Principal - ttSOO 00 In It rest (due and unpaid at date of foreclosure') 1510 65 Attorney fees fit) tJ t'ublic sale notice 'M 15 Recording sheritPs deed 1 flt Back taxes (vear 1SW) 6-'i 00 Surveying (at time of sale) 14 00 Total cost to State- $TA9b 30 On October 10. 1000, this place was sold biick to J. W. Conn (ami Henry Conn) for 4o00, which meant a loss to the State of flKW.SO. vet State Land Agent Geer in his report claims that he sold tiie place at a profit of 75. He places the cost of the phire at :7H.25, but how he does his figuring no one knows but himself. Another example is the J. M. Osuurn place, it sir tear sold to Central Odell and then turned over to L. B. (iter. This is the farm that the Benton County peo ple are kicking so much about because Bi has never taken a deed to it and by leaving the title in the State i avoiding taxe.. This place coat the State a fol lows: Principal - 50O0 00 Interest to data of foreclosure-... 34 45 Attorney fee- 25 00 Total 5409 45 Bi bought it through General Odell for $5500, a profit to the State of $00.55. His report thowa that the State made $475 on the sale. For an cfE.er of the State to acquire property from the State in this manner i, to say the least, sub ject to severe criticism, but with T. T. in the Governor's chair Bi was not afraid to make the deal. It will be seen by the above that the reports of State Land Agent Geer were doctored up so as to make a good show ing in the sales of farmk. There w as no occassion for this, as the farms were not expected to bring any mo:e than the? were worth, no matter what they may have cost the State. State Lund Agent Ueer no doubt made many good sales and did as well as anyone could in dis posing of them, but the tin lies io doc toring up his reports so as to show profits where actual losses had occurred. But then T. T. had to have something to make a campaign on.

COMMIMCATKI). CO I' XT V COURT. The proceedings of the County Court for the February term are as follows : In the matter of the petition of Ever ding & Farrell for a road of public ease ment. Ordered that Board of County Rood Viewers view survey and report on proposed road, and that they meet for this purpose on premises of petitioner on February 28th, 1900; and it was further ordered that the parties upon whose lauds said proposed road will lie located be served with a copy of this order within (our days from this date. In the matter of considering bids for special road tax work in R. D. No. 4. Bid of Albert Adams on specification No. i, division No. 1, amount (50, considered and accepted. All other bids for R. D. No. 4 were rejected, and it was ordered by the court that ell special road tax work in said district, with above exeep tion, be worked out by the road super visor of said district, under the super vision of this court. In the matter of considering the plans and specifications for proposed new coun ty courthouse.

Editor Mist: Will tbe editor of the Mist I so kind as to allov me a little pace in the Mi-t to explain an item that appeared in tbe Columbia Register, pnblirhed at Houltuii, Friday, Februarv 10, 1!I00? The item reads. "Dor and Matid," meaning Dora Crouse and Maud Decker, "w.-jiiM do very well colaboratin in the kitchen, providing no crank was around." It should hare lead, "providing an old woman stood over them with a club." Of course this i not very complimen tary to the girl, but we muH take this from whence it came. There mut lie all the allowance in the world made for our "genial" editor, Mr. Mitchell. May the good Lord forgive me for lying, and I know the good people of llonlton will, for they well know thxt I must lie jok ing when I speak of Mr. Mitel, ell at a "genial" fellow. The facts nre these : Mr. Mitchell has the "blues" a good nirt of the time. which is known as"iiypocliondriaciain," and that is put down in medical wotks snd doctor books ns a dier.se; tbat Is why we should pity him more than blame him, for we are informed by the Apo&tle Paul that charity covert a mul- titnde of sins. The item above mentioned wss hand ed to Dora (.'ronoe Thursday morning to set up and she made the change from the "old woman" to the "crank," mean ing Mr. Mitchell. Dora took it fur granted that he meant it at an insult and left the office and came home. I am not feeling very bad about it, for I think Mr. Mitchell is not at all times accountable for bis acta. So that it where charity comes in. Ill will to none with love to all. AllIIAllA'4 Cuoi'nk. Mis Grace Towell, of l'iltdmrg, vis ited with Mis Margaret Speuccr over the Sabbath.
