DAMAGED BY HIGH WATER. Woolen Mill at Eugene Out of True Roads Are Bad. EUGENE. Dec. 7. (Spccial.)-The high vater caused considerable damage to the .voolen mill In this city, and was sufficient o scare the proprietors regarding the rospect of what might happen If the vater should go four feet higher, as It ;ometlmes does. The principal damage xae done by softening the soli under the 'oundatlons, so that the great weight aused portions to sag. This not only eft the floors out of level, and caused the able tower to careen, but left some of he machinery out of true. It is estl nated the damage will amount to only 230. Since the water has subsided, the mall .tages are getting through east and west f here, but not without much difficulty. On the McKenzie route lees trouble Is ex icrlenced than on the Mapleton route, where the road is In a frightful condition.

The registration books for the city election to lie held on next Wednesday were closed last night, the total registration being 1072. For the last June election the registra tion was 12S4, And ths vote cast was lfiOO. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec 3. If the declarations of Sen ators and Representatives reflect the sent iment of their respective constltuentsthe majority of the people are certainly op posed to any revision of the tariff at the present time. Where one member of the National Legislature declares for revision, there will be two who oppose a change at this time. Not only does this opposition come from the JSast but from the Middle West, the Rocky Mountain States and the Pacific Coast Regardless of any action that may be taken In the next Congress, it Is very apparent that no revision will be possible In the present short session, when a limited amount of debate can kill any measure to which there Is strenuous objection. , New England Opposed. Every Senator or Representative from New England who has been interviewed here since Congress convened has ex pressed himself as diametrically opposed to any interference with the present tariff. Senator sale's views were recently quot ed In these dispatches. Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, is equally pronounced. "Changes In the tariff would result in an uncertainty In the commercial world, which might cause a panic," says he. "Just as soon as Congress begins to con sider the reduction or Increase of duties on certain articles all the dealers and manufacturers who sell or make such ar tides find themselves at sea. Nobody knows what raw material will cost in the future, or what the manufactured prod- ; ucts to be affected will bring. All the members of Congress know this, and I am sure the Republicans are too wise to at tempt any changes at a session so short that tart if revision could- not be given proper attention." The Iowa Idea. In contrast with this. Representative" Lacey, of Iowa, explains the attitude of the people of his state. "There are two schedules which Iowa people think should be changed the steel and Iron schedule and the lumber sched ule," says he. "We feel that some changes of that character should be made, if it can be without causing greater in juries to the business interests ofi the country than the corresponding advant ages to the people Interested in the par ticular articles mentioned. We don't want any general tariff shake-up." The Iowa Idea Is contained in the last sentence of Mr. Lacey's declaration. They favor a limited number of modifications; no general revision. What the Elections Indicate. "If the Fall elections demonstrate any thing," says Representative Loudensla ger, of New Jersey, one of the leading Republicans of the House, and member of Ihe National committee, "it Is that the people are entirely satisfied with the pres ent phenomenal prosperity of the entire country; that tariff revision Is not want ed; arid. In my opinion, it will not bo at tempted. Why should anything be done in the way of legislation to stop our pres ent commercial progress, particularly when the result of such legislation Is a matter of uncertainty, and when the slightest attempt to do anything with the tariff immediately engenders timidity and breaks up confidence, which Is the recog nized great factor in maintaining our commercial stride of the present mo ment? "I am not a believer in the efficiency of a tariff commission," continued. Mr.. Lou 'denslager. "In fact, I think the least leg islation Congress can put on the statute books tho better." In the Rocky Mountains. "Out in our part of the country there is no disposition to think the world is eomlng to an end on account of high tar iff or the trusts," Is the expression used by Senator Warren, of Wyoming. "Every body Is doing well. We cannot heed the cry of free traders, and a few localities that would be benefited by a revision of the schedules as against the entire coun try." The views of Senator Warren are cor dially indorsed by his colleague, Senator Clark, and by Representative Mondell, from that state. They are all content to follow the advice of Senator Hanna, and "let well enough alone." From Nevada's Standpoint. While' Senator Stewart Is charged with being more of a Washlngtonlan than a resident of Nevada, yet he no doubt re flects the sentiment of that state to a great extent "The Republican party Is the tariff party," says he. "Tariff for the protection of American labor is the car dinal doctrine of that party. All free traders are Democrats. Some Democrats are free traders; some Democrats aro tariff for revenue only. Most Democrats are for tariff on articles not produced in this country, and few. If any, of them are for the protection of American labor. Whenever the Democrats are In power and tinker with the tariff, which they al ways do, business is largely suspended because "nobody can guess what will be done next If some articles which were properly taxed in the Dlngley law have grown out of adjustment, and some mod ifications ought to be made, it Is not necessary to Tiave a general revision and suspension of business while the adjust ment is being made. The Republican members of the two houses should In vestigate and report if conditions as to any particular articles have so changed since the passage of the Dingley bill as to require modification; it so, prepare a bill for that purpose on protective lines, and not on the destructive theories of the Democratic party. The bill fhus prepared ought to pass both houses without amend ment and without debate, so far as Ro- puDiicans are concerned. "The report of the committee should be sufficient to go to the country. Let the loose talk about revising the tariff stop, so far as Republicana are concerned, and let such action be taken as will restore the Dlngley bill to the excellent adjust ment which existed at the time of its passage. It is the best tariff law ever passed, and has produced more prosperity than any other. The Republicans -who aro responsible for the" tariff cannot afford to allow the Dlngley bill to fall into the hands of nonpartisans, free traders or revenue 'tarlffltes.' Discussion of sched ules with free traders Is about as useful as discussing the benefits of prosperity with a calamity howler. To Control the Trusts. AlonV with the general subject of tariff revision is the proposition to control the trusts by a reduction or removal of tariff on trust-made articles. Representative Fowler, of New Jersey, Is one of the ad vocates of this plan. "Establish a tariff commission to correct the evils in the tariff, and at the same time to regulate the trusts, says he. A bill for this pur pose was introduced by Mr. Fowler at the last session of Congress, and will bo urged at the present session. Mr. Fowler is one of the original advocates of a tariff commission. In May, 1897, before the Dlngley bill passed, he proposed that the whole tariff question should be placed in the hands of a commission. The surges tion did not receive serious consideration, however. Last year, when demands were again heard for a revision of the tariff. Mr. Fowler resurrected his commission plan, adding the feature of a commission to regulate and correct trust abuses jxevertneiess, Mr. Fowlers bin is very likely to remain in a pigeon hole In the ways and means committee, where it slumbered undisturbed during the last long session.. Revisionists Are Active. Notwithstanding the strong sentiment against revision, the advocates of tariff changes are most active, and will make themselves heard throughout the session. The Babcock Idea has many Irlends, who are outspoken, and such men as Tawney and JHeatwoIe, of Minnesota, are not back ward about expressing' themselves, and urging reform. The men from the Pa cific Northwest are likely to remain si lent on the tariff question this Winter. Most of them have declared themselves as against any changes, and will fall back on former statements, when pressed for opinions. Senator Foster is the most out spoken; he never hesitates to denounce a change, which he says would, at best, result In generally upsetting business. To open any .one schedule, he predicts, would be to open up the entire tariff question, and this the country does not want BtG PLANING MILL FIRE. Loss $120,000 Four Firemen Narrow ly Escape Death. DENVER, Colo., Dec 7. A fire', which originated in the shaving vault of "Mc Phee & McGlnnlty's planing mill at X o'clock this morning, destroyed property estimated as valued at $120,000. On Friday the mill was saved from destruction, by the timely arrival of the watchman, who, discovered a blaze in the shaving vault, which" had been started by an over-heated) steam-pipe. It is believed the fire today was started In the same way. A falling floor carried down four firemen, but they were rescued with slight Injuries. The' individual losses by the fire are as . fol lows: McPhee & McGInnlty planing mill, $50, 000. J. p. -Paulson, manufacturer of show cases, $-10,000.

Besides outlining his own policy, he will make such recom mendations as he may deem proper. Tlit Ballot for Senator. On the second Tuesday after organiza tion the two houses will take a separate ballot on United States Senator, and if no election be had at that time joint sessions wiU be held daily thereafter until an elec tion results. As stated heretofore, Gov ernor Geer will continue as chief ex ecutive of the state for two or three, days after organization, but .will be out of of fice nearly a week before the balloting be gins. Being out of office will be an ad vantage to him lp many respects, for he could not, while holding the executive of fice, discuss politics with legislators as freely as he can while occupying the place of a private citizen. Members of the Leg islative department might resent an effort of the executive to advise them In a mat ter in , which he has a personal interest. but as a private citizen he will be free from official duties, and will have time to present his arguments 'based upon his popular -vote last June. On the other hand, he will lack some strength he might have. If his executive power was to con tinue through the session. It Is quite generally known that whatever Influence Governor Geer wielded In the last cam calm was in favor of the Democratic candidate for Governor. Whether the beneficiary of that Influence will recipro cate in the coming Senatorial campaign is a question upon which politicians are speculating. Composition of Legislation. The Senate Is composed of 30 members, of whom 14 are holdovers. There would have been 15 holdovers but for the. resig nation of Senator Inman, of Multnomah, last May. The holdovers are Senators Masters, of Douglas; Booth, of Lane; Dimmick, of Coos; Williamson, of Crook; Smith, of Yamhill; Mulkey, of Polk; Wehrung, of Washington; Hunt, Mays, Smith and Sweek. of Multnomah; Johnson, of Sher man; Steiner, of Wheeler, and Wade, of Union. Besides these holdovers, the following, whose terms had expired, have befen re turned. Kuykendall, of Lane; Daly, of Benton; Howe, of Yamhill, and Brownell, of Clackamas. So that 18 of the 30 mem bers are old members. In the Senate there are 24 Republicans and G Democrats. In the House there are 60 members, of whom 4D are Republicans and 11 Demo crats. There are no holdovers, as the members are elected for a term of two years. The members of the last House who wlir- participate In the deliberations again this Winter are J3ddy, of Tillamook; Humef of Curry; Harris, of Lane; Haw kins, of Polk, and Jones, of Lincoln. Work Before Legislature. Among themost Important measures to come before the Legislature in January will be the Lewis and Clark appropria tion, and a law governing the expenditure of the appropriation, a revision of the irri gation law, and' the enactment of laws governing water rights, the enactment of certain measures advocated by the labor unions, a direct primary- nomination law, a law providing the procedure under the Initiative and referendum, a law taxing corporations for special privileges, a re vision of the land laws, and the passage of a flat salary law. , There will also come before the Legis lature for consideration five proposed amendments to the state constitution, which have already received the Indorse ment of one Legislative Assembly. The proposed amendments are: A provision that the Legislature shall provide for the election of a state printer and fix his compensation. A provision fdr the incorporation of cit ies and towns under a home rule plan, without special acts of the Legislature. A provision that general elections shall be held on the Tuesday following tho first Monday In November. A provision permitting a state insane asylum and the state educational institu tions to be located away from the cap ital. The abrogation of the anti-negro' clause of tho constitution.
