INTERVIEW WITH MR A D SMITH Press Biiiltier of the American Type Founder Company of Portland, Seattle and Spokane- To show the utter disregard iu which the truth is held by our esteemed con' temporary, the Roseburg Review, and the falseness of its recent statements re- jr.irding the Flaixdealee's new press that it had been oierated for years in the basement of the A. T. t. Cos. aux iliary priut house at Seattle, etc., we de sire to call attention to the following interview with Mr. A. D. Smith, press builder of the American Type Founders' Company, of whom we purchased our press : Q. How long has your company had a Seattle House. Mr. Smith? A. We have carried a stock at Seattle ouly since Sept. 1, 1902. Q. How long have you had a ready Irint house in Seattle? A. Since September 1, 1901. Q. . When did you buy the press that was recently sold to the Puuxdealeh? A. June 19, 1902. Q. 'When did you begin operating this press in your Seattle House? A. August 20, 1902. Q. How long was it in service there? A. -From August. 20, 1902, to Nov 1, 1902. - Q. Why did yon operate it in your Seattle service? A. For the purpose of testing its steed and general working qualities. Q. How fast could the press be oper ated and what was its general service? A. We operated the press at a con tinuous maintained speed of a little more than 1S00 impressions per hour, or taster than any other press of that site in Seattle at that time, and the w.rk turned out by the press was highly satis factory to our ready print customers in that section and ourselves. Q. Was the press removed from your Seattle House for the purpose of putting in a new press? ' A. So, we have not put in. a new press in our Seattlj House, but a see-end-haud press, that was obtained from a Chicago dealer, Q. How do you know all of these facts? ' - A. Because they Lave been given me 1-y John S. Pinney, manager of our branches in Seattle, Portland and Spo kane. It will therefore be observed that the Plaixdealer'8 press is a NEW press Laving only been given a practical work ing test covering a period of a little more than two months. The senior -liu-r visited the Sect tie House, saw the press in operation in 'ctober, and was so well pleased with it that it was Liuiiediately purchased, but as we stated last week, it could not be installed in our office until the new brick was com pleted which was delayed by inclement weather and scarcity of material until Jan. 1. It is now in order for the Re view to crawl into a hole and pull the aperature in behind it. A MISCELLANEOUS CANDIDATE. Can it be that Governor Geer is a candidate not onlv for senator but the place m the lower house of congress made vacant by the death of Mr. Tongue, as rejKirted in the Portland Telegram ! . We annot believe that our ex-governor is such a miscellaneous can didate. Ex. The records of the Second Oregon, Spanish, American War Veterans, have recently been compiled ' and issued in book form in. a single volume of 700 pages, bound in law library style aud handsomely illustrated with 'full iage pictures of the officers, various comjia uies and Philippine war scenes. This very interesting and valuable volume was compiled and issued by Adjutant General G- W. Uantenbein, aud is a very creditable work which will" lie of inestimable value to members 'if the famous Second Oregon and to the stale. Forther notice will be seen iu another column over the signatu re of the adju ant general. Ve confidently expect the present session of the Legislature to give the State some neccessary laws nrou the subject of rJad making. Bad roads are expensive, unsightly, dangerous to life and projerty, show a lack of thrift in a community, retard- its development, prevent the sale of its projicrty, produce Jilth and disease and are a diseiiiinator of bad morals, as they provoke profanity in those who "jse them. We shall have done a splendid work if we lictter the condition of the public pads of our State. la connection with the duty of the present congress to elect a new -nker, some interesting statistics have come out. Mr. Henderson was the first tjeaker to bechosen from the territory west of the Mississippi. The oldest sur viving speaker is Galusha A. Grow, who was speaker from 18til to 1803. Another surviving speaker, Johu G. Carlisle, Is n-jw a resident of Xew York. The last democratic s)aker, Charles F. Crisp, was a native of England. . The state of yew York has not furnished a speaker since 1S27.

In the presence of the members of the Oregon legislature, the state judiciary, state officials, a large number of distinguished citizens, and an assembly, of people which filled every nook and cranny of Representative Hall, George E. Chamberlain, democrat, of Portland, was this afternoon inaugurat ed Governor of Oregon. The oath of office was administered by Chief Jiisti.v F. A. Moore of the Oregon Supieme Court. It was fouud impossible to com plete the c invass of the vote in time fur the inauguration to Iks carried out this morning as had lieen intended. The joint session tlif rvre was declared ad journed at 11:30 to await the result of the canvass. Upon its re-assembling at 2 p. m., the ceremony was carried out with dispatch and according to program. Governor Jeer delivered his farewell message to the legislature before retir ing, and cautioned the lawmakers not to indulge in too much legislation. He ad vocated special revenue measures to pro vide for the Lewis and Clark Exposition approriatioiifcand said we have had too many changes in the state land Jaws; that the state land office records should be investigated. Of course in conclu sion he could but endeavor to eloquent ly impress upon the legislators the duty devolved npon them to elect him United States Senator, and in this connection he called especial attention to the law on the Senatorship. After his inauguration, Gov. Cham berlain delivered his inaugural address, MINING OFFICIALS MAKE REPORT To the Little Chieftain Mining and Investment Company of Myrtle Creek, Oregon. Gentlemen : During the time of our j condition of the roads on the South Myr existence as a Mining and Investment ; tie Creek over lii.li heavy loads of ore Co., 1 have been present at every meet- j from the mines, had to lie hauled over iug and used my best endeavors to ad- at an expense ot $7 50 r ton, where vance the best interests of the company, ' f2..r0 would he the cost on fairly good in organization, directing work and geu- j roads. Thus checking not only the eral management in developing of the i mining industry from getting their pro property. - duct out to a market hut actually stag- I congratulate the company in havingj nating the operations at the iuin from made so good a selection of directors for j the hauling in of supplies to carry on the first term of its existence inasmuch even develojeiiieut as it should be done. ns harmony in all discussions have been the ruling nature of their business meet ings throughout, and the large amount of work and improvements have been done iu the short time of three months. for the money expended is enough to in-1 spire confidence in the ability and tact of the management. In looking over in review of wliat has been accomplished under the tryihg times of winter at the begining of operations, I take pleasure in stating that there is not an undertak ing of this kind on the continent carry ing with it the same degree of f nccess even with decidedly more favorable con ditions of weather and finances. Since Oct. 4, you will find -by the Secietary's report we have every obli gation paid to Jan. 1, 1903, ss well as i an preliminary expenses, iuu irom the Tresurer's reivrt Vou will se '. ii i: i t f l,at ll-.rL: fui.fi on l.:in.l lo eon tin ue , developement work day aud night until, the roads are in condition to hanl ore to tlie Southern Pacific at this point, for shipment. By that time the manage ment is confident it will have ar-.iin lot of 16 cars ready for the smcltvr making best bids for same. ' The return from Selby Smelting and Lead Co., of a mill test, you can see be fore you was $99.5o jer ton of 2000 lbs., and the settlement check as re)orted by the secretary and treasurer, of the car ,oad of 14 t0"8 phow J'M an ""'"S ol n AO jer ton of all matter between walls of 5 feet to 8 inches to C feet in width. Those are undisputable facts and knowing aa the miners retort that a considerable of the shipment was of coarse formation and should have been left on the dump for mill and consen- trate treatment at the miucs. We as a company may well feel that we have a property to be highly pleased with and worthy of zealously guarding as a divi dend payer ot no small proportions. While I am proud of our progress and ability at anv time to command the placing of reduction mills, Concentra' tors and smelting aparatus, I would ad vise the more conservative mode for at least the coming year, viz. To consult the S. P. authorities in regard to spicial rates for ore' shipments, also the various smelting establishments as far castas Denver, north to Everett and south to Valejo Junction for lower treatment terms. As our ore has sjiocial ipialities that is of material value to smelting works handling large "luantitics of varied ores. Another jioiut ot value I would draw your attention to is the frightful Senator A. C. Marsters' of Douglas, w ill propose that the half a million ap propriation asked for the I-ewis and Clark fair be referred to a referendum vote of the jieople of the state. Of course Portland knows what that would mean and does not approve the suggest ion. Eugene Guard. Lane county is honored iu the selec tion of a native son to the second high er positioir in the Btate legislature that of Speaker of the House. Mr. Har ri will fill the position with credit ami elliciency. Mrs. Tingley, of Point Lonn, the "purple mother," has won her libel suit against the Los Angeles Times aud has lieen awarded damages iu the sum of f7500. State Printer Whitney has appointed his late opjioneut, E. J. Godfrey, fore man of the state printing office.

The -messages of both the new and the retiring governors were very extended, occupying nlxmt two pages each in the Oregoniau. governor chamberlain's statement "My ambition is to give an honest and au economical admistration of "the affairs of state ; protection of the public lands ami safeguarding the funds which have been realized therefrom, for the support of schools and colleges. I do not mean to say that the preceding ad ministration has not been economical or Hell managed: I simply slate what is to be my policy. "I am goin:; into office not as a parti san, with the view to building np a ma chine in tiie interest of anybody, but as a servant, to do the will of the people and faithfully execute the laws as I con st ruo thtmi. "My relations with the Secretary of State and State Treasurer are of the pleasantest character, and I have no doubt but that they will continue to I such during my whole term. If we dis agree it will be on questions of policy rather than on account of diverging po litical views." Georok K. Chamiieri.aiv. The lumber trale is completely para lizei on account of the vendition of the roads and farmers actually have to take the ntamt.-aries out by pack animals or in hand. No doubt the supervisors have done all that could lie doiio and had much work donated, but it seems reasonable that the County Commission ers attention should be called to the state of this road and a remedy providi-d for same and I urge that a petition 1 sent then. lasting their assistance.
