Speaker Rekdku, who has been voting for McBride, and has been counted upon as a solid McBride man, threw a rather large siie bomb shell into the wiley Senator's camp Wednesday, by voting fcr Corbett. The Corbett forces are jubilant as a consequence. They believe it for tells an early settlement of the sen atorial contest and favorable to Corbett and all Southern Oregon people are joyful because of this. The inquiries for descriptive mat ter of Medford and Jackson County continue to come in by every mail There is nothing on hand to supply this demand still we are hoping for a greater population and more business. We cannot- expect to get either if we do not advertise our town and its advantages. A recent innnirv is from a Dubuque, Iowa, railroad man who says there is a BrosDective colony heading Oregon way and he wants to know what inducements we have to offer. McBride newspapers of the state are throwing to the wind all their Bpread eagle sail in telling of the grtfct work their pet candidate for senatorial honors has done for the rivers and harbors of Oregon. As a matter of fact Mr. McBride has done nothing in this line for the state worthy of mention; Nearly every river and harbor that is now receiving aid from the government in under obligation to Hermann, Uolnh and Mitcheil. The com xnencement of government work is the difficult task which ia always Kcfnro atftlft renresentatives. After a Government work has been com aenced it is only a matter then of continuing that particular piece of itnm-ovement in the river and bar- hnr hill, and this is not a difficult tasITwhen it is understood that this government of ours does not ap propriate several thousand dollars for the commencement of a piece of work and then leave it unfinished it is not built upon -so narrow a plane as that. ' . It is always gratifying to notice a newspaper endeavoring to fulfill its mission. When success meets Buch an effort it is a matter of con gratulation for the proprietor and its patrons. The Gold Hill News which was purchased by Geo. R. Hammersley two weeks ago, has wider his management already been redeemed from its past record - aB a newspaper, which appellation wa8 in name only, and bids fair to soon be listed among the most newsy and: reliable papers in Southern Or egon. Its columns are well fi led . with news items, well written and its typographical appearance shows the handiwork, pf an,: artist-. The Stizens 0 Gold Hill and vicinity are" to be congratulated upon the facVthat they have a newspaper "under the management of a gentle man, whom they have some con fi denne in and one so eminently fitted f.r the work he has undertaken The Mail wishes th News abund- . nut success. . - A Salem newspaper (a McBride D"anV reproduced recently an artr u tVnrn ills Florence West.

Rumors ot an oaVly bruak iu tho Sen atorial deadlock have been circulating treulv this week, but l othliig now lia occurred to date. It was thought John It. Mitchell would onler tho race agatiist Corbett, MoHrldo being sched uled to retire In his favor last Tuesday. Tho galleries were packed lu anllulpa- liou ol tho break In tho monotony oi the contest, but the expected fulled to happou. The Corbett forces aie firm and doolaro they will maintain their io sition to the ond. Tho anli-Corbott contingent is showing signs of weaken ing. Conferences are being dally held by the McBride foroes, whloh la taken to mean that something is going to hnnnon. .Their attempt to oulist tho dcmeorallo members In their support camo to naught. Without democratic aid they can accomplish nothing. Iiv troduction of bllU lu both houses con tinuo. A number of measures Intro dueed at the opening of tho ieglshituro havo been unfavorably reported by tho cummlltee to whloh they wore roforrod. Few bills of importance- havo been passed. Tho remarkably liberal attitude of the legislature toward educational legis lation Is disclosed by the prompt passage ot the appropriation bills for the Suite Diiiversitv and for the Agricultural College at Corvnllia. Both went through thn House last Thursday, by a practi cally unanimous vote, and both were passed by the Senato Friday, evory senator but one voting aye. These two measures require continuous appropri ations, and will stand as the law until renealed ny some succeeding legislature. The Agricultural College gets a special appropriation of $30,000 for tho curreut year, and $25,000 annually horeafter. The State University gets the genoroua sum ol 147,000 per yuar. Iu average aunual Income since 1883 has been $30, 000. The Corvallis school,- with its federal approoriatlon, will hereafter have at its disposal about 175,000 per year. Much of fits amount is lor carry ing out the work of the experiment station. Th barber Sunday closing bill, known as the Sunday Bluo Law, has passed both houses. Its coustitulional Itv is questioned by some, In that it is considered to place unduu restraint on personal liberty. The bill Introduced by Graco, of Baker, which passed the House last week, defining extra hazardous work is one of interest to laboring 'men., It provides tbat.underground mining, wet mining, dredging, smelting, foundry work and all underground work and. all works for the redemption of oresi'.slinll be deemed extra hazardous undertak ings and Injurious to the life and health of nersons emo'.oved therein, and thiit hereafter It shall be unlawful for' any perron, firm, corporation, association, Or combination of persons, firms, corpo rations or associations employing labor In any of the extra hazardous under takingB mentioned in scotiou 1 of this act, to solicit or require any person or persons so employed to do or perform more than eight hoars' labor for one day's work. Violators of the aotare deemed to be guilty of misdemeanor and fined or imprisoned. A bill that has aroused - the enorgics of the railroad companies operating In Oregon and lias brought considerable of a delegation of railroad magnates to the capitol is the Poorinad House bill to abolish contributory negligence of emnlovcs as a bar to damages. This bill was under consideration by the committees on railways and transporta tion and labor and Industries last week. Before this committee appeared Man ager Koahler and General Freight and Passenger Agent Markham, of the Southern Pacific Railway, Attorney W. D, Fen ton, counsel for the . same com pany, and Attorney ,W. W. Cotton, counsel for the O. R. & N. Co. These railway officials desire a modification of the kill to the end that some of the responsibility for accidents due to care lessness may attach-to the employes. Thn House committee on mines has already reported favorably upon Bar rett's bill to amend the law in reference to mining locations, and is ready to re port upon Grace's bill to provide a uni form ooie of mine signals for the safety of mine employes. Tho bill to create State Bureau of Mines and a Htnte Mine Inspector Is still under consider ation. The object ot the bill Is to es tabllsh and maintain undor an cfllolont head a reliable source of information as to tho varied mineral resources of the etato of every description, provioi s and economic, and provides a place and nnnortunitv where anyone may Bond auy specimen of any mineral or sub stance' and have it determined and olawilied, and thereby learn if the same is of any value for any purpose, whe the same will bo preserved, together with all Information obtainable as to thn locution, oiialltv nnd riuantily.- It alas compelii tbe maintenance of statin tics in relation to mining of every dc scriptlon, and tho pioducta of mines.
