The Washington Evening Post, on of the ablest newspaper ol the United States, has been looking over the situ ation touching numbers, politics and Terms of service, as will be observed by the following: The new issue of the Congressional Directory shows that the senate is now oquartly lined P betweeu the Republi can and Democratic parties, not a single member of the Upper House having de scribed himBelf or being entered in the summary as an "Independent" of any description. The membership is com plete, with ninety tenators. Of these dfty-seven are Republicans and thirty three Democrats. Of the Republicans thetermoflweu,tythree expire March 5, 1905, sixteen expire in 1907 and eight teen in 1909. . Of the Democrats seven expire In 1905, fourteen in 1907 and twelve in 1909 Thus the Republican ranks are moie open to attack in the campaign of next year than are those of the Dem crate The majority party must hold twelve ot Its twenty-three 1905 seats In order tc, retain a bare margin, while the Demo crats, holding all their own, must gain thirteen from those twenty-three in or der to wrest the control from the enemy, these twenly-three Republican seats are from Rhode Island.Delaware, California Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota. Wyom Ing, New York, Nebraska, Washington, Maine, Ohio, Connecticut, New Jersey Utah, MaBsachutetts, Maryland, North Dakota, Vermont, .Wisconsin, Pennsyl vania, West Virginia and Nevada. Of these the Republicans have already carried Ohio and lost Maryland. Of the twenty-one others the Republicans may be counts as fairly sure of Michigan, Minnesota, Maine, Connecticut, Massa chusetts, North Dakota, Vermont and Pennsylvania, eight in all, or nine with Ohio, already secured. This leaven three to get from such states of llepub- n i t j t., .i ; .i lican tendency aB unoueiBiam., VAw.Tnn.ev and Welt Virigima, and mioh debatable states as DelawaBe. Call fornia, Wyoming, New York, Nebraska, Washington, Utah and Nevada. The Democratic 1905 seats are from such sure strongholds as Tennessee. Missouri. Texas, Virginia, Mississippi and Florida, with Montana fairly wed ded to Democracy. There would seem to be little or no hope for the Republi canuto increase their majority iu the Upper lions- through next year's elect l ma, and it is evident that they must do good deal of active campaigning to hold their present control.

The great offer of the Gladstone Real Estate Association made to the people of. Oregon, of one hundred lots to be se lected by the purchaser in the handsome townsite of Gladstone, at an even $ioo per lot, f io down and $io per month with out interest, has attracted widespread attention. Already lots are being sold to careful, conscientious buyers, who not only know a bargain when they see it, but are taking advantage of the low price to get an elegant property where the location is ideal and the enhancemeut in values is sure to follow. Already Portlcnd buyers are rapidly approaching Gladstone on the north. In two years time the electric cars will not be out of sight of handsome dwellings in the entire run of i2mi!es from Oregon City to Portland. There is no longer any doubt that the moter company will have a double track railway between the two cities by the time of the great Lewis and Clark exposition. Ask any fair man, consult your own good, common sense and there can be but one conclusion, and that Is, that property between Oregon City and Portland is as safe as stock in the First National Bank of Portlaud. It is far be ter than money at interest. Again, if you ask any fair and unpreju diced man, who does not own property of his own so situated as to be a rival for public favor, as to the handsomest suburb of Oregon City and with greatest promise for the future, and he will unhesitatingly say : GLADSTONE. Already there is a population of five hundred people at Gladstone and not a vacant house. Schools, churches telephone system and all other modern and up-to-date conveniences rapidly following.
