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senate, but It was withdrawn by the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.
"TIIDV SAY."
potty falsehood, started by a gos
sip-loving tongue,
Grew Into dire proportions, and upon
Us blackness hung
A woman's reputation (pure, unsul
lied at the day),
And her whole life was darkened by
the fatal words "They say."
A man of worth, with honest work
earned both success and gold,
Then envy pointed at him with a nod
and whispered bold:
He fills a suicide's lone grave, yet
(doubt It ye who may),
Ills death was but the poisoned fruit
of these two words "They
say."
Oh, you w ho list to slander's tongue, 1
charge you In God's name,
Have care! lest at the harvest time
you reap a double shame:
And dare not, for your own soul's
sake, Invite the dreadful day
When Justice must hand forth to
you, the fruit of tho words
"They say."
