T.COLT Prop. First class workmen always ready to please you, V A TRIAL SOLICITED Portland. Oregon, Jan. 16. The fol lowing resolution has been adopted by the Portland Federated Trades Council which we take the liberty to submit for your consideration, and if it meets with your approve1, we wou'd ask that you ar dors It and , give it all the publicity at your command: . ' - Whereas, one of the 'most . important questions before the 'voters of Oregon Is whether the people or the legislature shall choose Unjted States Senators in in Congress. . The Direct Primary Law, enacted by a large . majority of the voters of Oregon in June, ; 1 904, provides that candidates for the Legislative' As sembly may include in their petition' for nomination the following. Statement No. 1: , . "I further state to the people of Ore gon, as well as to the people of my Legis lative district, that 'during my term of office I will always vote for that candi date for United States Senator in Con gress who has received the highest num ber of the people's votes . for that ' po sition at the ganeral' election next, pre ceeding the election of a Sanator in con gress, without regard to my individual preference." - ,, - '-. Y The purpose of this provision "of the law being that the people shall make the final and. absolute ., choice of the United States Senators at the June election, and the members of the Legislative Assembly shall afterwards merely ratify the choice of the people, and Whereas, men who are opposed to the rule of the people are seeking to nullify the law by persuading candidates for the Legislative Assembly to pledge them selves to vote for the choice of the peo ple of their own counties only, instead of for the choice of the people of the en tire state, for United States Senators, and Whereas, if any candidate fails or re fuses to include the above Statement No. m his petition for nomination, it must be either because he believes he is wiser than the people, or else because he wants to sell his vote as a member of the Leg islative Assembly for United States Senator in Congress; therefore, be it. Resolved; by the Federated Trades Council of Portland, Oregon, that no citizen of this state, and especially no member of organized labor, should at any time or under any circumstances sign the petition or vote for the nomina tion or election of any candidate for the Legislative Assembly who does not sub scribe to the above Statement No 1 in his petition for nomination' and that every good citizen should at all times oppose and trip to defeat every candidate for the Legislative Assembly who does not sub scribe to the above pledge without any qualifications or conditions whatever, and should do this both at the primary elec tions and the regular June elections. Portland Federated Trades Council, J. H. Jones, President. W. H. Fitzoerald, Secretary. COAL, BLACK (OAI There is no reason now why you should be without a fire. There is plenty of coal in town. Yesterday morning the Observ er reporter was made glad by the inform ation that Q. E. Fowler had received a car of the finest, blackest, and most all- around burnable coal ever offered to a coal hungry public. The notice seemed too good to be true, and the reporter man grabbed his hat and hurried to the ecene of the reported arrival. When he reached the coal yards he was surprised to note the commotion which a few car loads of coal had made. The entire staff of book keepers was busy booking orders and the telephone boy was taking mora business than even Mr. Fowler s numerous teams could deliver in a week. The reporter was pleasantly surprised, however, to find that he had been misinformed re garding the quantity, when he teamed that the shipment consisted of three cars. big cars, instead of one. The special side track looked as if the railroad company had prepared for a miner's strike, by un loading all the coal in this end of the uni verse on Mr. Fowler's coal yards. Mr. Fowler soon appeared upon the scene and nformed the reporter that if a single word about the sMpment should get into the paper there would be things doing around the Observer office whice would require the services of a coroner to settle. He stated, however, that in a few days he expected an entire train load and then we could run a four line local announcing the fact, While we were talking about the coal business in general, a black smoke was noticed -in the distance. At first we thought that the Hot Lake was burning up, but the joyful tidings were received that the coal train had arrived and the coal famine in La Qrande was a thing of the past. Fowlt r said "let there 1 e co I ' and there was coal, and plenty of it. LOST ladies large pocket left in ladies : waiting room at depot, containg money end cards.
