' During the last week there has been
no material development in the Senator
ial question. Fulton has continued to
hold the lead and to occupy the center
f the stage, la fact it begins to look at
times like it will be Fulton or no one.
Fulton or a dead lock with Oregon out
of a Senator. Geer has shown no evi
dences of material gain or greater
strength than he haB manifested from
the beginning. The other votes are
scatteriug and to no purpose. The
balloting has taken place day after day
and week after week with no signa of
breaking up or terminating the struggle.
Only one ballot has been taken on each
day and that has been merely perfunc
tory and with no real intention of elect
ing any one. When the end will come
or whether it will come at all or not is
not known by the wisest political pro
phets on the ground. There are dozens
of dark horses in grooming and dozens
of men who have their lightening roads
up; but they are all yet in the shadow.
The curtain will certainly not raise upon
the finish until near the end of the ses
sion. '
The Legislature has appropriated $165
000 for the construction of a portage

It has been discovered that real pro
perty has to bear about 82 per cent of
the running our state government under
our present system of taxation, which
is regarded as too much in proportion to
the benefits received.
Quite a bunch of Oregon City citizens
were in Salem on Wednesday looking on
at the doings of the Legislature. They
were all quite interested in the proceed
ings and enjoyed a very pleasant day
of it. Water works superintendent W.
H. Howell was around and about shak
ing hands with acquaintences and Judge
Gordon E. Hayes was affable as usual
to all he met. He had business before
the court of appealB.
The bill looking to direct primary
elections and doing away with political
conventions was reconsidered in the
Senate and passed by a very close vote.
It will now likely become a law and will
work a very radical change in the
management of party machinery in this
state.
The bill to create the new county of
StocKman went down to defeat on Tues
day by a large vote and the new county
will not be christened at this session of
the legislative body. There is no in
tention to create new counties unless
the matter is first submitted to the vote
of the people who will be effected by
the change.
The scalp bounty law was repealed by
a very large vote. The members from
Easte.n Oregon made a game fight to
save it but without effect. Under "its
provisions it is claimed that the coyotes
have been increasing aud not decreasing
as it was anticipated they would. In
fact it is claimed that there was a dis
position to raise coyotes for the scalps
alone.

Main Street, Opposite Huntley's"
OREGON CITY. ' OREGON.
Mr. Clark Devereaux, of Park Rapids,
Minn . , recently arrived in this city on
an extended visit to his aunt, Mrs. C. A,
Nash, of Gladstone. He is at present in
Eastern Oregon looking up some timber
locations.
Families Narrowly Escape With
Their Lives.
About 3 o'clock Wednesday morning
the fine residence of H. O. Stevens at
Gladstone caught fire. The flames
quickly spread and in less than an hour
the building; was reduced to ashes.
The house was occupied by W. E. and
F. M. Wilson, proprietors of the depot
saloon, of this city and their families.
F. M. Wilson left Oregon City on the
12 :20 electric car and probably reached
his home twenty minutes later Shortly
before 3 o'clock he wss awakened by a
feeling of suffocation and sprang out of
bed, feeling that something was wrong.
He soon discovered that the house was
on fire and made haste to arouse' his
family. The family had barely time to
save their clothing from the past en
croaching flames, and the entire con-
flames, and the entire contents of the
bouse were consumed with the excep
tion of a piano. What was the origin of
the fire no one seems to know, but it is
thought that either a defective flue or
stove was the c.iuse.
The residence, which was one of the
finest in Gladstone, was erected by Hon.
Harvey E: Cross, of Gladstone, at
an expense of $2,500, Beveral years ago,
and was occupied until within the past
few years by the Oregon City Hospital,
after which it was turned into a resi
dence. It was a large ten-room affair
and a beautiful s'ructure, standing only
a little way from the banks of the Clack'
amas and a few hundred feet from the
electric railroad.
Gladstone has no fire company and it
was almost impossible to render any
assistance of any value, save in making
the burned out families comfortable.
The residence was insured for $1000 in
the Queen Insurance Co., of which Mr.
CroBS is the agent. There was an insur.
ance of $1500 on the furniture, carried
by Mr. Cobper, of the Phoenix Insur
ance Company.
