DEMOCRATIC COMiTTEE
MEETING.
LAYING FLANS FOR THE
FUTURE AND MAKING
READY FOR THE
NEXT GREAT
FIGHT.
Democratic Harmony ihe Watch
Word and the Outlook for
the Future Glorious.
The Democratic County Central Com
mittee met at the hall of the Fire Board
on last Friday and v. ere in session the
biggest part of the day. About twenty
committeemen, representing as many
districts were present. Speeches were
made by Colonel R. A. Miller, Judge
William Galloway, James P. Lovett, W,
H. Vaughan, Longstreet Yaughan, James
H. Thompson and many other. A
spirit of harmony prevailed. The gen
eral idea was to get together, forget
past differences, "Let the part dead bury
us dead" and turn the face of the party
to the future. Committees were 'ap
pointed to manage finances, literature
and other advertising matter and a
general propagranda of education is to
be begun at once to win back the place
in Clackamas county lost in the years
gone by by dissension and party differ
ences. The "Gold bug" and ''Free Sil
yer" Democrat the "Populist" and
the "Socialist" Democrats were each and
all represented at the meeting, ani it
leoka like there is a good "time coming"
for ihe party in this part of the earth.
The Democratic paper was promised
hearty support in all things and its editor
encouraged to go on with the good work.
It was the concensus of opinion that
Clackamas county is a Democraric
county and that a clean manly fight in
1904 with unity, and confidence
restored would ' demonstrate that
fact. The committe adjourned
to the call of the chairman and
it is understood that another meeting
will be called for the near future.

LEGISLATURE IS
IN SESSION.
Brownell Wins For President
of the Senate.
Demo cratlc Governor Inaugur
ated and Legislation in '
Full Swing.
Many Matters of Importance to
be Passed on During the
Forty Days' Session of
the Body.
Salem, Jan. 14, 1903.
The Oregon Legislature convened lust
Monday . It was supposed by the two
factions of the Republican party that
the organizations of both houses, had
been affected iu Portland before the
members reached here, but this proved
to be a mistake when the caucus was
held. The two factions in the Senate
were sc closelv divided that it wan nnv-
body's fight un'.il after some 19 ballots j
had been taken for President of the Sen-'
ate. 1 he vote all this time standing 11
for BrownJl of Clackamas, and 11 for
Smith of Multnomah. It was a plain
line-up between the Fulton and anti
Fulton factions. After a recess Mon
day noon the Brownell faction won on
the first ballot by one vote. Aft' r this
contest, the remainder of the state was
easily agreed upon. It is reported that
Jonathan Bourne fixed matters. It is
certain that Mr. Brownell was his
choice, and he was his strong supporter
from the first to the last. The result,
while it defeated the anti-Fulton candi
date, cannot be interpreted as victory
for the gentlemen from Astoria in his
senatorial aspirations, as it is well known
that Bourne is in the field for o ther
game.
In t' e House the contest was equally
close and spirited, the caucus being in
session from morning until 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, the vote standing about
equally divided between Davey, of
Marion, Eddy of Tillamook, nd Har
ris, of Lane. By a compromise between
the Eddy supporters and Harris, the
former withdrew finally, which with
drawal was followed by Davey, thus
making Harris' election unanimous. On
the convening of the Senate, Brownell
received the entire republican vote, ex
cepting Maraters, of Douglas, who did
not vote. Harris received the entire
republican vote in the House. The
Democrats in the Senate cast their votes
for Senator Wade, of Union, and in i he
House for Bilyeu ot Linn. The list for
the other officers in both houses must
have been' prepared in advance of its
election of the presiding officers, as
there was no further delay in the organi
zation. Both Houses adjourned organi
zation, the senate until Tuesday morn-
ningand the House until Tuesday after"
noon, out of respect to the death of
Congressman Thomas II. Tongue.
On Tuesday a large number of resolu
tions, memorials and bills were intro
duced in both houses. The Portland
charter bill was put through the house
Tuesday afternoon and reached the sen
ate this morning, and in less than 15
minutes was passed under suspension of
the rules, and will be the first act to re
ceive the signature of Gov. Geo. E.
Chamberlain. The other bill of impor
tance which has reached a third read
ing, is the Centennial appropriation
v.:n t. i u... i. : " 1 .
uiii. j.1 win imve uui Biigat opposition
in the senate. 1
Both houses met in joint convention
at 11 o'clock to-day and canvassed .the
vote caBt at the last election for gover
nor. The result gave Hon. Geo. E.
Chamberlain 246 plurality, and he was
declared duly elected. This afternoon
Governor Geer delivered his message.
The oath of office was administered to
Mr. Chamberlain, who then read his
inaugrual address. It is a lengthy doc
ument, but full of sound and able argu
ments. The first official act of the new gover
nor was the signing of the commission
of John Manning as his successor ai
prosecuting attorney of, Multnomah
county.
Goveinor Chamberlain's mother, over
8 ) years of age, was present at the in
auguration, having come all the wav
irom the East. She is a fine old type of
mothers, and seems to take a justifiable
pride arid fully appreciates the high es
teem in which her son is held in his
adopted state.
W. A. Gatens, of Portland, will be the
governor's private secretary. He is
honest, competent, and a native son of
Oregon, and a sound democrat.
Mrs. Shelton, who has for years been
in the governor's law office, will be his
stenog apher She is a very competent
lady, ana respected by a large circle of
friends.
Speaker Harris will make a good pre
siding officer, and so will President
rownell.

CIRCUIT COURT.
GRINDING OUT JUS1ICE TO
EVIL DOERS.
Abundant Crop of Grass Wld
oivs and Grass Widowers
for 1903.
The adjourned term of the Clackamas
county circuit court, which convened at
the court court house in this city on
Monday of lust week, with Judge Mc
Bride in the chair, is still in session and
will likely continue in session for several
days longer. Many small suits of a civil
nature have come before the court and
been settled. The chief work of the
court during the present term has been
in handing down divoice decrees, and
about thirty have already been granted.
The crop of 1903 grass widows and grass
widowers is unusually large and the
market will he overstocked. ,
The commissioners' court, which ad
journed last week on account of the ill
ness of one of its members, resumed its
sittings Wednesday, and the names of
jurors for 1903 were drawn. 'The court
then adjourned.

,Tue reasns why bwor clnss women j

husbands llian their upper class aler
ters Is that they are capable of earning?
their own livings, which Japanese la-t-dies
are not. So thoroughly is this fee.-

The Suit In the Ocean.
The ocean was once merely bracklsli
and not salt, as It ,1s now. "M v as4
when tU enrth was in Its first youtfc
and before there was any land show
ing at all or any animal life In the wa
ter. At this time the water was grad
ually cooling from its original state efff
srfiam.jand the aalte- were slowly m
dtrirolng thf change from fasts tatoa
solids. Then came the appearance of
land and, later on, rivers, which grad
ually washed down more and more
salts, while at the bottom of the ocean
Itself chemical action was constantly
adding more brine to the waters. At
present It Is estimated there are In the -world's
oceans 7,000,000 cubic miles ot"
salt, and the most astonishing thing"
about It is that if all the salt could be
taken out in a moment the level of the
water would not drop pne single Inch.
