The advice of Lieutenant .Wood -candidate of the democrats for sen ator to vote for Geer as: a vindi cation orthe Mays law is in theory a lofty and commendable ideal : in self-government, but it is far 1oo Utopian for practical politics of the .present Oregon model- The Mays law is a wholesome and -ought , to be, an effective measure. Even among the politicians of Ohio it serves the purpose of placing se lection of United States senator in : the hnnds of the people, - and if Oregon politics were not of the cut- J. throat variety, it would do the Same thing in Webfoot. 7 . But an every day and practical view of the law is that it was never intended for the candidates of the minority to be instructed by the June vote to support the candidate The indicated choice of each demo crat was Wood, not Geer for sena tor, and for the present at least, lieutenant Wood is the man they want voted for. ,.' .' -. COLORADO'S WAY, . ' The country has . a delightful spectacle the scenes transpiring at the Colorado : state house. - A senator is to be elected there,-' and aspiring politicians have maneuvered nntil there are now two senates and twd housed. - : " k; democrats, according - to the election returns have two majority on joint ballot, being in control of the senate, but the republicans have a majority in the house. The latter to offset the democratic majority unseated : a sufficient number of democrats in the house to equalize the regular democratic majority, and the net result is chaos and an archy. The condition . makes travesty of law and order, and sug-; gests a doubt "after all, if self-government is not a failure. Fortunately all states are not like Colorado, and all .statesmen are not political pet tifoggers. -. . - . . '. The one redeeming figure in the Denver situation is the attitude of the republican governor, who re fuses to call out the militia to as sist his own partisans in their strug gle) declaring that he was elected governor to serve all the " people and that he will not use the power of his office for. partisan advan tage. . - - -A 1903 Resolution .

ROCK FOR ROADS, nuerations Conducted Under a Tent on the Philomath Road.- : - Out on the Philomath road, a quarter of a mile south of the high way, and between the Hayes and Thomas Cooper farms is a huge tent. It is 75 feet square, and in Ihe distance looks like it might be a camp meeting or a circus. It is however, neither, but is spread there ' as t a protection from the weather, while workmen under neath it get but rock for use in next summers road work in the vicinity. The rock is later to be .reduced to a size for road purposes by the county rock crusher, which is now at the farm of Thomas Cooper. . :. The rock, operations are under direction of Leroy McReyonlds, who has a contract with tne county court for supplying Benton Oounty with 200 tajr, 000 tons of stone for road purposes. He is to rejceive4o cents per yard, delivered , on the dump at the quarry. The county- is also to pay John W. Ingle who owns the lece, three cents per load for the stone after it is crushed. The spot from where the rock .is taken is only about a quarter of a mile from the Philomath read and the grade is down hill,; so that after tne rock is finaly crushed, the deli very will be easy and inexpensive. In getting the rock out of the ledge blasting will be necessary. Four men are at present employed on the work, but when blasting begins the force will be doubled.

AFTER A LONG YEAR The Hunting Club Rises to an Appre ciation of Its Duty. - . ; Now and then a light echo from the booming of the famous- mat hunts of the past two winters re verberates on the ear. Notwith standing the merriment and un alloyed good cheer which prevailed about the banquet board after these hunts, any suggestion - of a re petition of the contests is frowned down by thosewho participated in former contests for glory only. To such, the banquets ; were alto gether enjoyable, but it is true tnatTiJ tnem Diisterea ieet, . worn out 4imbs, empty stomachs and many r other . disabilities . incurred j-in the weary tramp after game that was too elusive 'for : their, prowess, was .quite - the contrary.. So it "seems that there is to be no match hunt this season, by what is occas ionally termed the Amateur Hunt ing Club of Benton-county. ' By way of further preliminary to what is to be said, it should . be stated that on the hunts referred to Jesse Spencer distinguished - him self more than any other :.partici pant. In each of the three con tests Mr. Spencer secured a "blue jay, thus each time increasing the total score "-of hisassociates by three points. Mr. Spencer s .: individual score was not regarded as phenom inally large, but . the advantage lay in the fact that it was phenom- mally sure In consideration of the substantial and unfailing as sistance Mr. Spencer provided his fellows in the contests, andthe cred it which his prowess reflected on the association, it became the unan imous wish of the club that a fit ting testimonial . be ' awarded : that gentleman. Accordingly a com mittee was ; appointed to decide upon the best means of signifying the club's appreciation." , - Not long since, this committeereported ' and its suggestion was heartily adopted; The decision was to present Mr Spencer with a mounted bluejay a plan which was carried but Thurs day evening. ' Mr. ' Spencer was much affected-by the . presentation to which he responded in a tearlul though determined voice. . The mounted bird is oh exhibition; ia LMr Spencer's barber , shop. Thus tlie hunting club has given "a just though tardy recognition of the prowess of its most distinguished member. , - . - Lectures. -- Br.
