The politicians of the stute are won dering what action, If any. Senator Fulton will take regarding the ap pointment of Mr. Sehuebel to the of fice of United States district attorney for Oregon. Owing to the fact that Senator Fulton is a member of the Judiciary committee, which must re port on this nomination, it would be an easy matter for him to prevent the nomination 'being confirmed. This has been the situation during the ten ure of office of the present incumbent Mr. Rrlstol, who was iipplontcd by the president, but through the efforts of Senator Fulton, was not confirmed. However, the senator did not enter objection to his confirmation, the hint time Bristol's name was sent to the senate, but It was withdrawn by the president on the recommendations of Attorney General Bonaparte. This may be the parting of the . ways be tween Senators Fulton and Bourne. TITTLE LAW COXSTITITIOXAL. . Tim farming districts will be Inter ested m learning that the supreme court of this state has reversed Judge William nalloway of Marlon county, In holding the net known as the Tuttle road law unconstitutional. In some ' sections of the country there was much opposition to It and since the decision of Judge Calloway It was considered a dend law, but the su preme court sustains the act. The Tuttlo road law provide for the as sessment of the Improvement within a two-mile limit, also, on property within a mile of each end of the pro posed Imporvrment. The objection came largely from those whose land could" be taxed within this, limit for the Improvement of several roads at one time If the majority so petitioned. A ntEtoll MASTODOX. Olio Dlminorcd With Fkwli In Yukon Ctild Storago. John Frollng has lust returned to his home In this city after an absence of nearly seven years In Alaska and the Yukon territory. During his ab sence Mr. Frollng traveled over the mountains and followed the river and creeks valleys of the far north for years on end in a fevered search for the yellow metal. Mr. Frollng brings the facts of the finding of the remains of a mastodon in an almost complete state of pres ervatlon. The body of the mammoth was found 40 feet below the surface r. Frollng says, seven miles up oodrhopper creek, a small stream that flows into the Tukon 40 or 50 miles above Circle City. Several miners there had staked out claims and were going through the frosty earth In an effort to strike pay dirt. They were operating a steam plunt. running down points, and were one day surprised by noticing a pecu- lar smell of flesh emanating from the excavation. L'pon investigating they found that they were immediately upon the car cass of some Immense animal, which the almost redhot stcum was rapidly uecaymg alter it had lain in the frozen clasp of Its earthly bed for untold years. By great effort they got the carcass out of the earth, the task proving a most disagreeable one owing to the retld odors arising from It. Much of the ment was still In a good slate of preservation, and was eaten by the dogs and wild anlmuls that came about the camp at night. The bones of the mammoth were all intact, and the last Mr. Frollng heard arrange ments were being made to preserve the skeleton. . In his long travels over the Yukon country Mr. Frollng found many spots where the bones of the mastodon wore numerous, everything pointing to a time when some sudden cataclysm had brought unexpected deuth upon all the animal life. Ho says these spots where the mastodon hones are found so plentifully are Invariably sheltered valleys where the animals undoubtedly congregated In their ex tremities to shelter themselves from the hardships of the weather.

Some few entertain the Impression that because they registered two years ago that they are not required to reg ister this year. This Is an error. Un der our present law the voters of this state most register every two years or be compelled to procure six free holders lo assist them in sweuriiig their votes In. A most Inconvenient compliance, especially when It was oiny uiroiinn the carelessness of tin voter In not taking the trouble to re. Ister during the many weeks that tin registration ,oks are open.
