tWashington Letter.
"Washington, D. 0., April 28, 1904.
Tl.in !;aa been a busy week. The re
Sluicing appropriation bills have slid
noteless I y along in Senate and House
nd given opportunity for the discussion
of other important matters. Both ma
jority and minority leaders now an
nounce th it Congress will adjium io
ward the end of next week. This will be
one of the shortest regular sessions ever
known, excepting each as terminate by
law on March 4th.
The House on Tuesday after an ex
cited discussion , passed the Statehood
bill providing for the admission of Okla
homa, i nd of Arizona and New Mexico
us Arizona. There was heated opposi
tion to the measure and it is not thought
that it will this season get through the
tisuate where it made its appearance
yesterday Democrats protected and
iraged against it in the House and voted
aag 'Hist it without a sirgle iruant, but
the Republicans, though several of them
spoke against it, voted eolidiy lor it,
and, Mr. Williams said, "jammed it
(through for party put poses." General
Jrosvenor spoke against it but lined up
ms a party man when the roll was called.
tot two days now the Senate has heen
discussing messure to provide more of
fice room. The proportion to erect a
marble palace for such purposes diagon
ally opposite the Senate on U street
meets with much favor and will prob
ably be carried out. There is a itrorg
tendency to turn down the proyiBion ol
the sundry civil bill by which the House
ordered an externum of the vast front of
tire capitol. It is denounced as desecra
tion and sacrilege by Senators Hale,
Bacon, Teller, Bailey and others, who
inaiat that the antique beauty of the
facade shall not be defaced. Emphasiz
ing the need of more spacious quarters,
Mr. Bailey affirmed that Senator Berry
ot Arkansas could not without the as
sistance of a messenger tlnd the dark
end gloomy cavern in the basement
which by courtesy is called his room,
tSettaUir Hurry acquiesced and said ho
had only been there three times in a
year; yet he objected to the proposed
thudding as being too sumptuom and
expensive for a Republic.
The fermentation of the protest
ugainst the seven-hour day bv the cl irks
weem to have precipitated a conclusion.
The House committee on reform iu the
civil service yesterday reported favor-
-ably on the bill by unanimous vote
which provides that all clerks shall be
dismissed at seventy years of age, after
June 30, iyi)7. A great cry ol pain and
wrath iroes un from the superannuated
i'orces in the departments hut a good
many people think that clerks that have
been a generation or two in the public
service at salaries averaging over $1,200
year, are not entitled to a longer o
cupancy of government chairs merely
because they nave spetiiau uieir urjuey.
Of course this kills all the civil pension
projects. .
Senator Heed Burrow's committee on
Uiease of Senator KeedSmoot has got
to work again. Six ot the tnirtee.i

thusiastic reception in Salt Lake City by
his five wives, forty-two children and in
numerable friends The Daughters and
other various relics of the American
Revolution now in sessiou here have
uttered an exemrlary sniff and vocifer
ously demanded tbe extinction of bmoot
who is still in his seat and wh im they
like to point the scornful finger of iden
t Hcation at from their seats in the gal
lery. He is an undersized, bashful
looking man, with skim milk eyet, red
hair, unaggressive moustache and a nose
that Julius Caesar might envy. Just
looking at him one would not think be
could make such a disturbance. He is
said to have marred his popularity at
home by being parsimonious in the
matter of wives. Roberts acknowledges
to three w ives and defies the govern
ment. In a talk which I had this mor ling
with a statesman from the geographical
centre of these United States, he said
"It is an infernal shame about Joe Bur
ton. He has been a faithful senator
untiring in tbe interests of Kansas.
He has never meant to do a wrong thing.
You ask me why he doesn't let you in
terview him. Well, he is too pioud
and too eonsvlon that lie is dead right
and will be vindicated in the end. See
here! he was convicted of influencing
tbe post office department against the
fraud order in behalf of the Hialto Com
pany, through Payne and Cochrane.
Now both these men affirm his inno
cence. No, Mir 1 Joe Burton will die .in
his trackB before he will whimper or
make any appeal to the public against
the outrage than has been inflicted on
him." But ther, Senator Pomeroy's
Kansas friend said the same thing about
him.

In Mem or lam.
Jane Elizabeth White, after a linger
ing illness of several months died in this
city Haturd iy . Mrs. White was born at
Providence, Illinois August 6 1851,
being the oldest child of Edward P. and
Jane C. Bands. When she was three
years of age her parents moved, going by
wagrntothe then new state of Iowa,
settling first in Marshalltown and later
at Staceyville, Mitchell county, wheie
on April 28, 1877 she was married to
Frederick F. Whits. Immediately after
they came to Oregon first stopping a few
days in Oregon City, then ia Albany till
October ot the same year when they re
timed to this place which has since
heen their home. Two children were
born to them, Jean M. and Ina C, the
latter of whom alter a brief life of eight
years passed to the other side.
Soon after coming here Mrs. White
united with the Congregational church
in which faith she had been reared, and
ever siuce has been one of its most con
sistent, active and untiling members.
For twenty-three of the twenty-six
years of her membership she has been
the church organist and much of the
time director of the choir. Her ability
iu this line made her iu demand in many
of tbj musical functions of tbe city ; aud
to no object having a Christian, benevo
lent or charitable purpose as its aim, was
she ever known to decline her help. On
this account she will be missed not alono
in her own church, but by a hos of
friends in all the churches and out of the
churches, for whose gayer hours hei
touch upon the keys had a voice of glad
ness and a smile, and into whose darker
musings it glided with a mild and gentle
sympathy which stole away their sadness
ere they were aware.
Mrs. White was a member of Pioneer
chapt er of the order of Eastern Star, and
of the Kuights and Ladies of Security.
She is survived by her husband Fred
erick F. White, her daughter Jean M.
White, her mother, Mrs. JaneC. Hands,
two sisters and four brothers as follows:
Mrs Wm. A. White, Mrs. James L.
Swafford ; Clarence A. Ernest P., aud
Harold A. Rani's, all of this place and
Edward M. Rands of Vancouver.

in response m a call sent out bv Chair
I man Eby. Tim meeiinti was the beat
attended nt any Hiinilar one neid lor
years and this to- held in the face of the
fact that the farmers are at least two
weeks behind with their work and could
ill afford to lose the time necessary for a
trip to town. One committee man in
particuiat, This. Duffy, of Beaver Creek
hired a man to work in his place, and
walked eight miles to attend the meet
ing. Many of the candidates were
pref-ei t and if there was any one in at
tendance who cme doubtful of the euc
cess of the meeting, he went away feel
ing that tbe fear had not been well
founded, Sjme places un (he ticket
which were left vacant on the day of
convention were filled and other routine
work attended to. Ways and mean- of
raising a suitable campaign fund were
diecussed something which certain of
the opposition never have to bother
themselves about, aud which they never
have to account for. Chairman Eby
annnunc d that he would keep accurate
account of all funds entrusted to his
care, would take and keen for inspection
receipts for all disbursements.
It was decided to 'Lake a three week's
campaign and the arranging of the de
tails was left to the County Ch irman
and Secretary The nominations of
jusiices and constables for the different
districts was taken up and disposed of.

An Interesting Argument
When we talk you expect to hear something interesting.
What we say gives you pleasure. What we say gives you
benefit. Our argument is one of higVi values and low prices.
Our boast is of qualities rather than of anything else. We point
out the good things and help you to share them. A good thing
for you is to get the good things we offer.
HOSE QUALITY
There are good, bad and indifferent grades of garden hose.
Toor hose rots, cracks and bursts. In two seasons you need more.
That's expensive. Good hose costs a third more, and, if properly
cared for, lasts four times as long. That's economical. We'll sell
you the kind you want, but advise the best. Our cheapest hose
sella for $3.00 in 50 foot sections.
REED ROCKERS
For the porch, lawn or sitting room.
These are some of the new special de
signs for this season in large comfort
