One week bro it was predicted by
the friends of the different candidates
that the developments of the succeed
ing seven days would determine the
contest that is beln wafted for the
rranlzation of the State Legislature.
The week has passed but the fts:ht is
undecided, with howerman and McAr
thur In the lead for President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House, re
spectively. These same political propr
nosticators have now fixed not later
than January ." as the time when the
wlnninsr candidates will be known.
Howerman and McArthur are both sat
isfied with tile situation, anil while they
do not Insist that they have a cinch
In their candidacies, they are altogether
sanguine that when the time arrives
to line up for the final engagement,
they will have the necessary support
to gain the nominations they are seek
ing. The corridors of the Imperial Hotel
yesterday were the scene of political
activity, unmistakable signs of an ap
proaching legislative session. Senator
Howerman was in the city for a part
of the day. spending a portion of the
time on a mysterious out-of-town mis
sion, but prior to his departureand Inter
In the day. following his return, his
room was besieged by numerous Legislators-elect,
who chanced to be in the
city. C. N. McArthur. leading candidate
for Speaker, also was on the ground
the greater part of the day. when whis
pered conferences were the order. Mc
Cue. of Clatsop, another aspirant for
the Speakership, was In evidence. Other
out-of-town lawmakers-elect observed
in the hotel during the day were: Representatives-elect
Hughes and Reynolds
. of Marlon: Katon of Iane; and .lackson
( Peniocra t of Sherman. Gilliam and
Wheeler: also Senator-elect Parrish of
Giant, Harney and Malheur. Senator
Coffey and Representatives Abbott and
Siemens, ofthe Multnomah County dele
gation, also conferred with Bowerrnan
during the day.
Regard Caucus as Certain.
It is learned that some 20 signatures
have been obtained to the call for a "1
caucus of tne House members. Ad
vocates of this caucus, which con-'erns
the candidacy of Mc Arthur particularly,
declared that assurances had been re
ceived from a sufficient number of
other Representatives-elect to insure
more than the required 31 to make the
agreement binding. From the same
source came the announcement that a
caucus was an assured certainty, al
though no especial effort will be made
to secure the necessary number of sig
natures for another week.
McArthur anil his friends, however,
are not permitting themselves to re
main idle for an Instant. They are
organizing their forces on a programme
that will Insure the nomination and
election of the Multnomah County man.
caucus or no caucus, and whether such
a caucus shall be attended by .11 or
the entire 52 Republican members of
the House. McArthur and his associ
ates are claiming for him a possible
strength of 33 memhers.
They are relying positively on the
support of the following 1". memhers:
McArthur. Hawley. Hones. Reals, Kar
rell. McDonald. Krady. Conyers. Hel
knap. Rrattaln. Mckinney. Mahoney,
Richardson. Krooke and Carter. The
following 11 are claimed by the Mc
Arthur people, although the opposition
contends that the Multnomah County
man cannot land them all: Hughes,
Reynolds. Money, Greer. Hines. Meek.
Abbott. Clemens. Iavis. Mann and
Dodds. In addition to the foregoing
strength, aggregating 26. McArthur ex
pects. In the final contest, to bring to
his support seven additional votes, as
follows: Mahone. Rusk. Katon. M. Cne,
Leinenweber. Honebrake and Calkins.
Henri J'ar rYom Strong.
In the foregoing list it will he observed
that the name of IVan. of Lane, is
omitted. The Ijine County man. al
though undeniably out of the running,
having failed to make good in his com
pact with the Statement people, con
tinues to insist that he is a candidate
for Speaker. The standpat Statement
members, of this county, are Inclined to
look with favor on Henn. but aside from
that limited following, his Mrength is
not regarded even as a factor in deter
mining the contest. As for the State
ment forces. tHcy are no more organized
than they were a week ac. They are
straggling along without a leader, with
the result that instead of being concen
trated on some one candidate, their fol
lowing is distributed between Ilean and
Campbell, while not a few are waiting
to see a more desirable candidate
Rested.
' Kfforts of the McArthur people are
now directed towards enrolling Hughes
and Reynolds, of Marion, and Abbott
and Clemens, of Multnomah, in the Mc
Arthur camp. Hughes and Reynolds
have signed the call for a ill-caucu.-, de
spite the fact that for some time Hughi s
was an ardent supporter of Mean. The
aetlon of Hughes in subscribf r.g to the
caucus call is taken to mean his deser
t'on of Bean and his- accession to the
McArthur forces Is an expected develop
ment early this week. While Abbott
and Clemens have not plgned the caucus
call, they have announced their Inten
tion of doing so whenever It Is necessary
to Insure a caucus. Front the start these
two Statement members of the Multno
mah delegation have declined to become
a party to the programme of a few
Statement members to organize the
House on Statement lines. They have
tak"n an independent position on the
Speakership fight and. while tied up to
no candidate, may yield to the negotia
tions that are being conducted by the
McArthur forces.
Medio Will Not Kef ire.

McCua refuses to admit that Mci'thur
has the Speakership within his prn."T and
is willing to stnnri pat and take his
chances. MrCuc further alleges that the
position of a considerable number of the
Representatives-elect on the question of
organization has rot been determiner!
and will not be for another week or un
til thcFe men from the interior of the
state can reacli Portland and acquaint
t!iemsMves with the true situation. He
represents that several of the members
of the House from the Interior of the
state thus tar have refused to commit
themselves on the Speakership and for
that reason, he says, it is ImposslMe at
this time to foretell what will be the
outcome of the selection of Speaker.
McCue declares that he has received
assurance" of support that convince him
he has a chance. His prospects, he feels,
can only be improved by the ret'rement
of Bean and should Mr-Arthur fail t"
organize surhVicnt strength to land the
job. then McCue fipures that, being the
most available man. his election will be
a practical certainty.

wiil continue to vote dry. The consumer
pets his whisky at wholesale prices from
Nhnniko or Portland, and one jrnilou at
will as far as $!. or tisvtt to in the
saloons, f..r the irei'.iinR hai)it I hh almost
dlsappeartd from the earth in I'rtneville.
In m her words, every man buys his on n
and keeps it out of sijtht.
Howeer. there are two bad features
about a dry s stem, and these will prob
ably r.ever be overcome. Those farm and
ranch hands who used to come to town for
a "lime" would have it and ro back to
work satisfied, if their, employer? w-ere not.
Now. they take their liquor to the scene of
their dally Inhors. and its consumption Im
r.airs their efficiency. The other bad feature
i- that icenerally the consumer regards
whisky as perishable poods. This Is singu
lar, yet absolutely true, while under the
open system a single drink was in most
eases sufficient.
Put In the meantime It cannot he truth
fully s.ild that the city's finances are in the
bisi of condition. Tills week, for the first
t'me since Julv 1. a call was issued for cKy
warrants and the amount to be paid is only
about $::oi. still so carefully has Its busi

of the year that the city's warrant indebt

showlnc here.
Monuay's city election was carried alto
gether by the Prohibition ticket, people who
are unalterably opposed to liquor and Its
consumption. What next ear will brin
forth under a dry administration can only
b conjectured.
As to the social aspects: Prohibition, in
tli is county a least, does not mean prohi
bition in any sense. Hut It doe.j mean the
elimtration of the sa!on as n loaflnR place,
thus forcing the wayward man to the com
fort of his nwn n r"dde after woikinp hours
and affording thereby rreat eomfnri to the
women of his family. It will thus be seen
that "prohibition." or whatever eKo ij may
be called, has come to stav for a lonjc term

is s-tniew hat heartless in regard ti the

tinue to vote 'dr" Indefinitely. This is the
'listory of Prohibition wherever the local op

UMI'OT JIKCKMKY CniIMJOTKI
inff at Blidel on the Klamath River,
which will be effected by the end of this
month, by reason of the completion of
the railroad to the river, will mark the
hefjinnirg of a new cru in transporta
tion for the Klamath Basin.
History of the stage service into this
poition of Oregon dates back to 1ST0, when
the first line was established from Ash
land to Fort Klamath by way of Link
ville. There was great variety in equip
ment as well as frequent changes of route
over which t he interior maintained eom
in unk at ion with the rest of the world.
Ashland. Ager. Montague, Thrall and
Weed have each had their share as the
starting point for Klamath Basin. For
many years The mail stage left Ashland
daily for Klamath Falls and Iakeview
indeed that route was first established
before there was a Klamath Falls shown
on the map, the trading post then being
called Unkville. Then the necessity of a
better road than the long climb over The
mountains from Ashland resulted in t he
building of the road from Ager with its
famous Topsy grade, at once one of the
most" scenic and dangerous pieces of
mountain highway in the state, where a
narrow ledge was formed In the steep
slope along which traftic might pass.
Slape Hide Shortened.
With the advent of the Klamath L.ake
Railroad, built from Thrall to Pokegama,
primarily designed as a lumber road, the
stage ride was shortened from 56 or 65
miles, whether from Ashland or Agor,
to ."6 miles. That was deemed a long
advance in transportation conditions, but
an all but Impassable mountain road
through the heavy pine forest, on which
any expenditure for betterment was ta
booed alike l.y the stage and freighting
interests and County Commissioners,
made the trip one at which strong men
rebelled. At times the connecting stretch
of branch iailroad was conducted with
regard for public convenience, hut during
the last year or two of the continuance
of that route its operation was so directed
as to add to the natural ditliculties that
beset tiie trip.
More Chiinges wf Koutc.
When the new road building to
Klamath Falls from Weed had readied
Brj;y tho stage travel was largely
diverted to that route, because of the
enforced night t ravel on the old stage
road. When the road was pushed through
to porris, the mail route having been
previously changed, the service to Poke
gama was finally abandoned entirely and
the stages and livestock all" concentrated
on the short trip diet ween the end of th-;
constantly lengthening railroad and tho
point where steamboat connection was
made on the Klamath River.
'From 1 orris the next terminus of tiie
railroad was at Calor, a station at the
California-Oregon state line, where a box
car served as station-house and an old
coach as a dining-room for A few weeks.
j Worden then became t he terminal and
for a month the boxcar station and tem
j porary diner have been convenience and
comfort to hundreds. Now the track is
j finished to Holland, at the channel con-
nectlng Lower Klamath Lake with the
I Klamath River and hotel facilities, ware
j house for transfer of freight and nccom-
n.odations for employes will be provided
I at once.
f It will be two or 1 1" roe months before
' the grade will be iinished across the
swamp lands and more time will be ie-
quired to surface, ballast and complete
! for train service. When that is done the
i- trains will run through to Klamath Falls
nnd even the steamboat will cease to be
a necessary factor to land the home-
seeker, tourist or business man in Kla
math Falls. Ptssirg of the stag coach
on tho route is soon to be followed by
the coming of the Pullman.

WOODSTOCK'. Or.. Dtc. 27. (To the
Kditnr.) The enclosed data form the
ImMS of my belief in the probability of
petroleum being found in the Willamette
Valley.
JLa I saw the scacoast of Califor-
nia. from Santa Barbara to San Diego, ir
ridescent with petroleum, and reported to
V. C. Ralston and others that California
would bo found a great oil region. Their
eyes and minds were then so full of the
gold placers and the Comstock mines
that they paid no attention.
It was much the same with my great
Irrigation project in the San Joaquin Val
ley, when the whole of it was a semi
arid region. In both of these I was about
20 years too early in advocating exploita
tion, but the present outcome shows I
was entirely correct.
The data follows:
First The seoloRical formations of West
ern Oretron are in tile same leli'tive se
quence as those exWtlnp in the oil resigns
of California, viz: (r.) err ta:rtu:'. fbl eo
cene. Cc mi'icene.
Second The most productive of petroleum
in the.ce in California tiilny lie within Llio
upper mim-ene tertiuiv format!";)
Third The whole of ihe Tualaiin ard
Tamhill valleys within the counties of
Washington. Yamhill anil P.-lk '.ylms west
of the Willamette River are in the Miocene
formation. The same formation exists east
of the river along; the western s.opo of the
Cascade range, north frosn Eugene to the
Claekamas Kiver.
Fourth The shales and sandstones
throughout this mioeene region are fully
as f ossiliferous and liiatomaceous as are
those in California. This fact is revealed
in the drainage area of Dairy Creek, north
or Hillshoro and Forest Oioe. else- ill Gales
Creek and in Hoons' Quarry, west ami south
west of Forest Grove; also at North Yam
hill, at the south end of Wapato Lake, and
at- Carlton, in Yamhill County; also in the

and In the same hills east of McCoy

In this are found strong s; It tarings. An

because it was so oily.
.sixth All colonists admit that the Pa
cific Ocean extended far eastward bef'Tts
the uplift of tha Kocky Mountain Jinnee.
Then it was thrown b'e-k to the westward
by the later uplift of the Cascade and Hi
erra Nevada Kunges; and lastly still 'arf.her
by the uplift of the Coat Kango. Recently,
the oil-bearing sirata nf the mioeene for
mation have been found in Mono "ounty.
("a llfornla, on the summit of the sierras ;
thus illustrating how the ancient ocean bed
has been uplifted.
Seventh Hitherto nearly all the boring
exploitation work for petroleum in Western
Oregon has been done in the eocene forma
tion: I do not know of a single case in tin:
mioeene. If the mioeene formation in the
Tualatin and Yamhiil valleys has ;ui thin
like the thickness found in California. I
should look for oil anil gas to he found
therein. The I'nited States geologi.-'ts hn ve
r ot yet explored this region, and it seems
to me full time for Oregonkms to urge the
Hoverrment to undertake this most Impor
tant Investigation.
Kighth The mioeene strata are far more,
extensive In area and deth in Kastera
Oregon than they are in Western Ore -on ;
but there they are covered with a grout
depth of basaltic lava Hows and fr-h
water deposits, which would make, any ex
ploration work far more expensive than in
the Willamette Valley.
Ninth The California oil-bearing stra a
have been traced and exploited tn Humboldt
County : I have found the mioeene strat a
in Curry County: the so-called "piieh-coal"
found in Coos County is an psphalt (pe
troleum analysis) and not a lignite coa'.
The Nehalem and the Cowlitz coal are in
the eocene formation
