That there will be no adjournment of the Legislature until Thursday is practically ctrtain. That the adjournment taken then will not be Bine die, but only over Cbr st mas, is well within the range of proba bility. This is the effect of a com pro mise reached by two contending factions the members who favored immediate amendment of the assessment and taxa tion law and prompt adjournment, and thoBe who. favored a protracted session and the consideration of whatever im portant matters might arise. It is now admitted' by the leaders of theearly adjournment agitation in both houses that the work in hand could riot not completed by Wednesday night. In both branches of the Legislature today a resolution was adopted provid ing that the Legislature adjourn sine die Wednesday evening. It was not meaat seriously, and was adopted with the un derstanding that the r solution should be reconsidered later, and the period of the session extended once or several times, as circumstances might require. If other evidence were lacking which it is not-that sine ;die adjournment 'O morrow is not seriously contemplated.it is amply furnished in the manner of this forenoon's proceedings in both houses. No effort was made to get down to con sideration of the tax law or the portage right of way, but the tirre was given wholly to introduction end considera tion of pet measures, petty and other w;se, of all members who choBe to hand them up Just prior to the noon adjournment, Uault introduced a bill to repeal the portage railway law. On the question of passing it to a second reading, Reed moved that tin bill be Jaid on the table. Southern Oregon and many of the Dem ocrats voted for the passing of the bill to the second reading, but the opponents of the portage road only mustsred 12 votes, the bill was laid on the table, and the portage road was safe. The Republican caucus called during the morning to meet at noon assembled and without any further proceeding ad journed to meet tomorrow at 12 o'clock. SPECIAL SESSION ENDED . SALEm, Or., Dec. 23. The special session of the Oregon Legislature ended tonight at 11:15 o'clock. In a three day session the Legislature accomplished all that had been desired, an achieve ment made posssible by perfect har mony among Republican members who constituted a large majority iueucli House. Today both Houses passed the bill ap propriating 100,000 for securing a right of way for the Celilo canal, and also a number of bills of minor importance. Killing of Chinese pheasants has been prohibited until 1906 Ten oer cent has been fixed as the maximum rate of interest to be charged upon property sold for taxes. No person, except the person paying the same, will be permitted to maintain a suit to recover fees paid to County Recorders under the invalid fee law. At the session which closed tonight the Legislature corrected the defective tax iw, revived the $300 tax exmption, removed the difficulty in the collection of Recorder's fees, amended the law re lating to executions at the penitentiary, and prohibited the killing of elk prior to September, 1907, Mothers.

The Molalla Central Mining Co. is the owner of a claim and a frac tion on which is one of the finest ledges in the district, and all the ore which has been.taken out shows that it is 95 per cent free milling and very rich. In order to satisfy the owners that the ledge was a true fishure vein, they sent an ex pert into the district who examined the ledge very carefully, and re ported that in his forty years of experience in mining he had never seen a better prospect. He took ore . from the surfaced also from other parts of -the ledge,., and it run frbm $ i6.76 to 2,773.31 per ton. , i The mine was then incorporated under the laws of the state of Ore gon by Otto F. OisovLinn E Jones, F. H. Welch and G. B. Dimick, all of Oregon City, at a capitalization of $25,000 with the par value of the stock at ten cents a share: , The company has installed a ' blacksmith shop and a house for its workmen to live in during the ' winter, and has a crew of men at I work opening up the mine and put- j uug me v.c uti 111c uump, ana win continue to work all during the winter, and in the spring a stamp mill will be installed, which will make the mine pay its own way, The company is determined to make a success out of their mine, and this can be done for the reason that they have an abundance of ore. The last assay made from across the ledge gives us $49.45 in gold per ton. The company firmly believes that their mine is far above the average when they take into consideration that the Alaska Treadwell mine is paying big dividends to its stock-holders, and all of their ore only makes an average of 2.38 per ton, and the big mines located in the Black Hills, South Dakota, are paying large dividends to its stock-holders from ore which averages only 4.00 per ton. The company is selling its stock for the purpose of raising money to keep its employees steady at work until the spring of the year, and when the mill is installed no more stock will be sold. There, is an element of risk in every mining enterprise, but the risk is much less when the stock-holder is acquainted with the officers of the company, and is familliar with the manage ment of the business. The losses are usually sustained by reason of the fact that a great many com panies are organized by men who endeavor to sell stock and convert the proceeds of the sales to salaries for themselves and the stock-holder thereby loses. The officers of the Volalla Cen tral Mining Company pledge their honor to the public that ail moneys received from the sale of stock will be used solely for the purpose ot opening up the mine ani for no other purpose.

Once for all we desire to announce that at this time this paper has no candidate for the high office of President of the United Ststes. When the Republican party In national convention selects its candidate this paper will give him, whatever his name may be, a cordial and hearty support. We have no candidate to urge upon the convention for the nomination. We bave named a number of eminent Re publicans whom we belleveto be fitted for the position, and may i.ame others whom we know to be qualified and who can be elected without a question if nominated. Our sole aim is that the party mav achieve success in 1904. The Republ can partv never selected Mr. Roosevelt as President of the United States It selected him to an office of honor and high rank, but of far less im portance than the one which the terrible act, of an assassia gave him the legal riglu tooccupy. Air. Roosevelt was not thought of for a moment as a candidate for the Presi dency at the Philadelphia Convention in 1900, and if any one had foreseen the fate of our beloved McKiMey Mr. RooBe velt would never have been nominated for Vice President, however much the State of New York desired to be reliev ed. The Presidency is not disposed of as a legacy. Mr. Roosevelt will, we hope, serve out his full tem, and we believe he will discharge every duty to the full extent of his ability. The Republican partv has given Mr. Roosevelt cordial support, and will do so in all, proper matters until the close of his Wrui ol office. The Republican party is for the peo. pie, nd has ever placed the interests of lhe whole people above and beyond thOBe of any class. The advocates of Mr. Roosevelt quote this and that Senator as favorable to his nomination. Few of lhe United States Senators-would suffer even if the party was defeated at the election iu 1904. . The majority of them are secure In pleasing positions, and it is common saying that the ideal position of a United States Senator is when the opposition has the Executive power and there is neither responsibility in legislation nor annoyance as to patronage. It la pot the Senators who would suffer, if a democrat should be elected Presi. Reduced Prices CHRISTMAS I S HE RE A Word to Late.

It Is not the Senators, however, who nominate Presidents, but the delegates selected by the peop'.e. With a Republican defeat for the Presidency what of the fate i-f the st anch heroic Republicans of the South viio at home haw only Republican Adm'muUra. tions at Washington to look to for social and political friendship? ' A Republican defeat in the Presiden tial election means at least four years of gloom and despair to those brave, true hearts who have never a ray of sunshine in their political lives except when a Republican President is in the White oonse Shall they be doomed in despair by the nomination of a man who csnnot be elected? , Are their delegates to the convention going to tike any chances with New York State such as were taken when a former accidental President, a New Yorker, too, able, shrewd and diplomat ic, in full and implicit confidence 01 vic tory sent JtiGge Folger to an open politi cal grave, and, when that merciless pit was closed in 1884, under the sod of New York lay buried the boundless ambitions of the brilliant Blaine and the blighted hopes of our national party? President Arthur knew . New York State then as well as President Rooee velt does today. He was a better poli. tician than our present Chief Magistrate, but he and his friends went down in monumental defeat, and so will it be next year if our parly takes the chances with Mr. Roosevelt. : The parallel is a deadly one to our party. Garfield Ohio's pride shot, and, and New York's Arthur Lis succes jor. Th result twenty-five years of Re publican supremacy terminated by the fatal vote of New York. Twenty . ears more elapse and Ohio's McKinley is called higher and New York 'b Roose velt takes his place. Shall we again meet Nemesis? Do the Republicans from the South, from Delaware to Texas, want two more terms o! Democratic Presi dents in the Wbite House? The las? ac cidental President gaye them that, and Mr Roosevelt can do equally good work for them. It was said that Mr. Roosevelt was an indepent political grave digger in the '80s. He may be desirious to change places and to be in the front vehicle thin time, but the Republican party cannot afford it Do the members of the- Republican party in the East, the West, the North and the South wish to see the 75,000 Postmasters of their own political faith turned out ant their placet filled by Democrats? 1 Are they ready to turn over the 150, 000 mail carriers' places to cur political Do they wish to see Democrats in- THE OLD RELIABLE WW Absolutely Pure. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE trenched for years in every custom house and internal revenue office? - Do they propose to pave the way for Democratic Marshals and Deputy Mar. Bhals, for Democratic District Attorneys, Land Agents and Inspectors throughout the length and breadth of the land by nominating a gentleman that we cannot elect? We do not believe the Republican party will commit hara-kiri : but if the party in convention says it must be Roosevelt, then, so Bay all of ns. CAXTBT.
