II Tongue, came as a great surprise and ti ae a terrible shock to his many Ore gon friends and admirers and in his death marks the passing of one of Ore gon's most able, influential and loyal citizens, in fact one of the state's best friends. In the Congress of the United States Mr. Toneue has for some time Iast been regarded as one of the coun try's big, brainy men, a brilliant orator, a ready debater, convincing, logical. When addressing the House of Repre sentatives he always commanded the closest attention of ita members and many of his sound, logical speeches have become campaign documents. His popularity, and the high esteem in which he was generally regarded at home is best attested by the unusually larger vote given him in this Congres ional District from which he has been thrice elected. Mr. Tongue was an abl lawyer and before taking up his Con gressional duties, enjoyed a large and lucrative practice in the northern part of the state, where he resided. Oregon at this particular time could illy afford to lose such an able representative and statesman, in fact his loss will . be felt bv the entire Northwest, and no matter how able and well qualified Lis successor mav be, time must elapse before he can command the es teem, confidence and influence in na tional councils, enjoyed by Mr. Tongue through his ability, integrity and long service. We .could continue af length extolling his many noble attributes, virtues and excellent qualifications, but space-forbids, suffice us to say, however, that in the death of Hon. Thoa. "H. Tongue, Oregon lose one of bar most loyal, able and worthy sons. THEY BEQ TO APOLOGIZE. Our item in Thursdav's Review con cerning presses contained a line or two that might be construed as renecting up on the gentleman who is here setting up the machine for onr contemporary. We recret this, and wish to sav that Mr. Smith, in conversation with a member of the Review staff, in reply to an in- quiry as to whether this was the same press that had bjen in the A T F Co's basement at Seattle, merely said it was, and did not say anything in regard to the time it had been in use there. e had beon previously riven this same in formation from other parties. The sub stance of the item was from the personal observation ot the writer and knowledge gaiued throazh other sources. Air. Miiith is a perfect gentleman who always looks alter the mterestsof his house and we certainly had no intention of appear ing to quote him otherwise. Friday's Koseburg Review. The fact of the matter is the Plaes dealer's press was purchased in Octo ber, sometime before the Review made a like purchase, with instructions to ship it the latter part of November. A con tract was let to F F Patterson about the same time for the construction of a fine new brick building in which to install the new press, the building to te com pleted by December 1st, 1902, but owing to bad weather and scarcity of building material the building was not completed and ready for occupancy until January 1-t, 1903, hence the press was held in Portland until this time. Finally, when it did arrive, it was found to be packed in planer shavings, which, in some un accountable way, had become wet, hence tail bright parts of the press were cover ed with a thm coat of red rust, but which was very easily removed. That this two revolution Cottrell news and job press is far superior in every respect to the drum cylinder Cottrell of our esteemed con temporary is well known and readily admitted by every newspaper man and printer, hence the childish contention j f our envious contemporary is too rid culous to be amuEicg. MR. CEER'S CANDIDACY. Governor Geer ia depending upon the Tvlave law and the vote he received t June to land him ill the U. S. Senate and the democrats are all contending that republican members of the legisla ture who believe in the referendum should support Geer. When the Mays law is so amended tliat the state conven tions are required to ballot for camli dates for the U. S. Senate, and the thre3 receiving the highest number of votes are placed on the ballots to be voted ui.on at the regular state election the one receiving the highest vote to be the nominee of his party, then, and not until then, will the voice of the people be heard. Had Geer, Fulton and Her inann each had a place on the ballots and then ehould Geer have received the highest vote, he would lw ntitled to claim that he was the choice of the peo ple. We have taken the trouble to in terview not lws than 'tw:-ntv t:.mi re garding their vote for Geer Lint June, and bat one out of the twenty really fa vored Geer. The others voted for him simply iKvaiife they preferred Geer, a republican, to Wood, a democrat. In fact had t!ie republicans refused to vote for Geer. and should Wood have receiv e l more votes than Ger, according to the lojric i Geer'e supporters, the legis lature would li'iw le under obligations to elect Wood.

CIRCUIT COURT JURORS DRAWN. aaaBBBaBBBBBB For Coining Term In Roseburg Pre llminary Session Opens Jan uary 16. 5 22jgfj33rJ Washixutox, Jan. 11. (Special to Plaixdealer.) Representative Thomas H. Tongue, of the First Oregon Congressional district, in the presence oLhis daughter, Ber tha, and his secretary, Moss Ruaue, died suddenly in his room at the Irvington in this city at twelve-fifty, noon. A few min utes before he passed away he lapsed into unconsciousness and died without a word, without any suffering. His son, Thomas H., jr., did not reside with his father, but was notified of his approach ing end and hastened to his fath er's bedside, but did not reach there until after he had passed away. . The startling news was, flashed over the wires from the national capital to Oregon Sunday that about noon Con gressman Thoe. H. Tongue, represent ing the first district from Oregon, died very suddenly after an illness of only a few minutes. A short time prior to his death, Mr. Tongue had received and en tertained a company of Oregon friends, and seemed to be cheerful and enjoying his usual good health. Soon after tak ing his departure from his friends, and while on the way to his apartments, he was suddenly stricken down with a heart complication and expired toon after reaching his residence. Further details of hi illness and death not hav ing yet been announced. The remains will no doubt be brought to his old home at Hillsboro, Ore., for interment. BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. . Thomas H. Tongue, Republican, of Hillsboro, was born June 23, 1S44 ; re moved with his parents to Washington County, Oregon, November 23, 1S59, where he has resided ; graduated from Pacific University,- Forest Grove, Ore., in June 1S68; was admitted to the bar September, IS70, and at once engaged in the active practice of his profession at his present home ; is also interested in farming and live stock ; took little part in political affairs until 1SSS ; in that year was elected to the State senate for a term of four years and served as chair man of the judiciary committee ; in IS.) was chairman of the State Republican convention ; from 1892 to 1894 as presi dent of the State organization of Repub lican clubs ; was a delegate to the Re publican national convcutionin Minnea polis in 1S92, and was the Oregon vice president of that convention ; in 1894 was again permanent chairman of the State Republican convention; was a member of the State central committee from 1886 to 1S90, and chairman of the Congressional committe of this district from the time of its organization until his own nomination ; was elected to the Fifty-fifth and Fifty-sixth Congress, and releeted to the Fifty-seventh Congress, receiving 21,212 votes, to 18,193 for Bar nard Paly, Fusionist, 1,087 for James K Sears, Middle-of-the-Road Populist, and 1,776 for V. P. Elmore, Prohibitionist. Mr. Tongue was re-nominated for a third term in the Congressional conven tion held in Rosehurg'April 1, 1902, and was re-elected at the June election by a larger majority than in any former election. TO FILL THF VACANCY. Under the provisions of .the Oregon Statues, the eovermn due course of time will issue a call for a special election to elect a congressman to fill the vacancy resulting in the death of Mr. Tongue. The nomination of both a Republican and Democratic candidate from the First Congressional district, which was represented by Mr. Tongue, will probably be made by -the respective congressional committeemen of this district, in a special convention, or the nominations and place on the ticket might be secured through petitions, but the former method of procedure is the more probable.

Geer's candidacy for the senatorship is receiving some hard knocks from the republican press of the state. Fully nine-tenths of the republican newspa pers are opposed to Geer, and do not hesitate to say so. The blxerver is not among this number. It has always been a fixed principle of this paper that "no ill should be spoken of the dead." Dallas Observer. Ashland is to have an occupation Lax. A new scheme for raising revenue. The following is a schedule in part of the proposed occupation tax submitted by Councilman Edlund. The ra'es are merely tentative and suggestive for dis cussion among the. people, whose advice is sought by the council upon the sub ject: Abstract office, 20; attorneys, $25; auctioneers, $10; agent for outside laundry, (12; bakery, $12; barber shop, $20 ; banks, $50 ; shoe stores, $20 ; black smith ehop, $12; billiard halls, $50; brick layers as contractors, $20 ; pawn shops, $20 ; butcher shops, $25 ; all others $30. Roseburg has had such a tax in full force for, aye, these many years. Here is an encouraging item for potato growers : A man who was in San Francisco lar-t week saw in the market the following notice: "For Sale, Southern Oregon, potatoes, $1.25 per hundred lbs," and "Alameda coun ty potatoes, $1.00 per hundred lbs." The potatoes dealer said that nearly all buyers took the Southern Oregon pota toes in preference, although the price was higher, as they were of better quality, and flavor. Among the Lodges.

Thus "Ari zona" deals with the citizens of the far western state of that name, and "Sandy Bottom," which is shortly to lw seen here, with the peaceful lives of those who live in the picturesque Arkansas hills.
