It is the foundation both of this government and the party. Tbis principal has always been recog nized and especially so in tbis country. When at the last election the party pledged iteell in its platform that the members oi the legislature should sup port the caucus nominee for United States eenator. This action was taken , because of the action in the last two legislatures concerning the election of a senator. In 1895 tbere was a bolt from the regular nominee which nearly dis rupted the legislature, prevented needed legislation, and divided the party which has lasted to thisday. In 1807 a hold up was perpetrated that was a disgrace to the state and prevented the legislat ures from being organizad and conse quently no election of senator or the passage ol needed legislation. With this record before It our last convention saw fit, and wisely too, to in struct the delegation from Clackamas county to support the caucus nominee in it platform. The legislature has been elected and convened in special session for the purpose of electing a United States senator. Tbeie are 66 republican mem' bers out of 90 in the two houses. A call was issued for a caucus and signed by 37 republican members of the two bouses for a caucus including the preei dent of the senate and the speaker of the house, each belonging to different factions of tbe party. The caucus was attended by 36 members, a majority of tbe republicans in the two houses and they nominated W. H. Corbelt for sena tor. Thirty republicans did not take part in tbe caucus but some of these will undoubtedly support the nominee. Tbe writer in view of the past record of two legislatures mentioned and tbe action of the last county convention, took part in the caucus, and while the nomi nee was not bis personal choice he will support tbe caucus nwminee so long as tbere is a reasonable show of bis elec tion. When it appears that there is no longer any such hope he will support some other candidate and under all cir cumstances will do bis utmost to secure the election of a senator. Unless the re publican party wants to approve hold ups and deadlocks, it must submit to majority rule. Nothing less will ever secure harmony or tbe election of a senator. ports. It is a most healthful sign when the department of State thus systemati cally and promptly encourages American trade abroad. Tux governor is correct when he warns the legislature against lusty legis lation. Under the rule of the legislature it is next to impossible to get a bill through in twenty days unless under suspension of the rules. To suspend the rules is not desirable as many bad measures get through under this pro cedure and the tendency is growing less and lees to allow this to be done. If tbe legislature can elect a senator and pass the general appropriation bill so as to stop the interest on state warrants it will have done as mueu aa ought in reason to be expected ot it To try and do more will probably result in more harm than good on account of tbe limited time. A few bills of a strictly local nature w ill undoubtedly pass, as they will be left entirely to the delegation from the county affected and will not be looked into by others. Tus members of the legislature that refused to go into the caucus, with one or two exceptions, called by a majority of the republican members, are holding a caucus almost nightly. They being in a minority are not opposed' to a caucus so long as they can control it. These meetings are secret and only tuch people are present ss are in sympathy with minority rule. The party has i right and should insist on majority rule Judging from the vole oi tiie caucus held if all the republicans would attend a caucus some other man than the one nominated could be named for senator, but itwould arpear that the people in the minority are determined to name tbe man if possible.

BILL PASSED THE SENATE. The following telegram was receiyed at this office Wednesday: State House, Salem, Oct. 5, 1808 Editor Enterprise, Oregon City. Bill to abolish railroad and food commissions passed the senate today. Myself and Senator Porter voted in favor of passing both bills. Geo. C. Brow.vei.l As evidence that the republican party is doing what it promised to do, the senate on Wednesday unanimously passed Senator Daly's bill for the repeal of the railroad commission and passed Senator Kelly's bill repealing the law creating the food commissioner by a vote of 22 to 7. It is safe to say that the senate is in earnest on the question of retrenchment. rOKEIGN TIM DE OF t'MTEO STATES. Foreign trade of the United States has been considerably increased by the pub lication, beginning with 1880, of the monthly consular reports of the Depart ment of State. It is now proposed to 3 is ue these reports daily, as they are received by the department, and to send The bill to display the American flag on every school house and public build ings should, and will become a law. The question of patriotism is one that can not be overdone. I i Mrs. Edith Davouest was killed by a live wire which was hanging from an electric light pole, in Almeda, California, on Sunday. A 11 It K AT It A FT ON THK 1AVIIV The following taken from the Sep tember Sciuutillc American gives one a good idea of how these immense rafts are constructed. The largest marine structure that ever entered the bay of San Francisco ar rived in that port the first ot August. It consisted of an immense raft of piles, ten thousand in number, which haJ been chained together at Stella, State of Washington, a point about seventy miien from the mouth of the Columbia River. The dimensions were: Total length, 000 feet ; breadth. 50 feet, with a dop.h of 45 feet. The 10,000 piles, which varied in length from 30 to IK) feet, were from 12 to 18 inches in diameter at the butt. The raft drew 80 feet ol water, and it contained upward of 5,000,000 lineal feet ol timber. The distance from starting point to destination is about 700 miles, and 5 V,' days' (owing was em ployed in bringing it to port.. To transKrt the same number of piles by steamers would have employed twenty at least, of the ordinary sine. The jour ney from tbe shipping point was made without accident, owing to the unusually favorable weather, and the successful re sult of the venture has encouraged the Northern timber dealers in continuing this method of shipment. Ow ing to the excellent financial re sults of rafting, attempts have been made in past years to introduce this method on the Pacific coast. So far five at tempts have been made, and success has attended three of them. One grounded on the bar at Coos Bay and another was lost at sea. This last waa far and away the largest yet attempted and will be succeeded by another fully as large. Smpments of piles only have so far been made in this way, but it is the intention to experiment In shipping lumber either sawed or in the rough, the saving in freight alone allowing a margin (or large losses. The method of building these rafts at Stella d lifers radically from that pur sued at the East, when the attempts were made to raft timbers from Nov Scotia to Eastern ports. The Cana dians constructed theirs apon ways built npon the land, which were launched when completed, just as vessels are in Washington. However, the rafts are constructed in a different manner. First of all a cradle is built the length of the proposed raft, with side timbers of about 20 feet in height, separated from each other by blocks. The interior of this cradle is of the shape of the raft, largest n the center and tapering to a point at hotheads. By means of an engine and tackle the piles are hoisted over the sides of the cradle and land in their proper places by hand. When the raft is built up lo one-half the proper height, a chain cable, 2 inches in diameter, is stretched from end to end, and at every 10 feet a chain is made fast to the central cable and extended to the outside, where two ends are fastened to the cable which sur rounds the raft. Tbe strain by this con nection extends from the central to the outside chains and adds to rigidity and strength of the whole. Sixty tons of chain, in separate lengths of 50 to 150 feet and IJj inches in diameter, were nsed. The outside was surrounded by these cables at intei vals of 10 feet. The stretching of the cables around the outside is not accomplished until the whole structure has been built up. At every 10 feet between the timbers ol which the cradle is constructed a wire is stretched around the raft. The end of the chain is fastened to the end of the wire, and is thus drawn around the raft and fastened at tbe top. The cradle timbers, after the taft is finished, are drawn from either side of the raft, which rests upon the water, ready for towing. The timbers are again set up, and the building of a new raft begun. Queen Louise of Denmark died at 5:30 this morning, at the age of 81 years, The Roval lauilly was present at the deathbed .
