SCHEME TO MAKE QEER SENATOR
Wood May Bo Induced to Withdraw
In Favor ot Oeer Scheme Not
Apt To Materialize.
Sale. Jan. 22. Ont of the multitude
of interests are born many strange vaga
ries, and not the least mysterious of all
is a great general political swap to make
Geer senator, and carry the party split
iato the coming congressional election
in this district.
The first step in this direction ia to
get C E. S. Wood out of the way and
give the democrats in the legislature an
easy way to walkinto the Geer camp, as
some of them were walked over to
Mitchell in 1901.
WOOD FOR GEER.
The Portland Oregonian recently had
this:
-. "So little stir was created among the
democrats today by receipt ot a letter
addressed to Representative Galloway,
from C. K. S. Wood, democratic candi
date for senator, advising democrats to
vote for ex-Governor Geer. The con
tents of the letter have not been gener
ally divulged but it is known that Mr.
Wood takba the position that under the
Maya act the people of the state last
June declared themselves against him
and for Geer. His argument is that it
is thus mandatory upon the entire legis
lature to cast a united ballot for Geer."
AKOTHER TRADE PLAN.
A nrominent democrat at Salem has
K
to vote for Geer, and in return have the
Geer men in this congressional district
assist in the election of a democrat
congressman to succeed Tongue next
spring. They argue tht such a trade
was virtually made in the interest of
Chamberlain without Governor Geer
himself becoming a party to it, although
not discouraging it. They could con
sistently make the same kind of a trade
if it would ensure them an anti-adminis
tration ronuressmin from the first dis
trict. Of course, there is no authority
for the proposition, and at present the
nl.n rst in the. minds of a few man-
Hcers. who will no doubt assiduously
cultivate the trade microbe. Journal.

If the lives and achievements of many
of the old comrades at the Oregon Sol
diers Home at this place were written
and published in a book it would re
quire a volume of considerable size t
relate the many stirring chapters in the
career of these grand old veteransi inci
dent to the thrilling scenes enacted dur
ing the Ci-il and Indian Wars. In
this connection we quote the following
from the Chicago Inter Ocean, regard
ing a thrilling incident in the life of E
J Lamnson. a veteran of the Civil war
and now an inmate of the Homo.
Cant. Lucas, the old commander of
E J Larrrson 's company having been
akcd hv the publisher of a war book
entitled "The bravest deeds of thewar"
to write an incident for publication, re
sponded with the following :
"The coolest bravery I witnessed dur
ing my term of service was at Leesburg
Mo. General Tom Ewing, with a bat
talion of the Fouiteenth Iowa Veteran
Inf.ntry, numbering 106 men and two
or three hundred Missouri state militia,
was forced to evacuate Pilot Knob by
the advance of Marmaduka's and She!
hy's commands, said to number- three
or four thousand troops. Ewing at
tempted to reach Rolla w hen he evacu
ated Pilot Knob. After a running fight
of twenty-four hours, his tired and hun
gry lilt'e command, being pressed in
Hunk and rear, took refuge in a deep
cut of the railroad, at the village of
Leesburg, at dark.
The lines of the enemy were drawn
well about the beleagured little com
mand. The commands of the enemv
were plaiuly heard while adjusting
their lines for, as General Ewing be
lieved, a night attack. In front of the
beleagured forces and inside of the ad
vance lines of the enemv was a large
barn with several haystacks surround
ing it. General Ewing called for a vol
unteer from the trenches to steal inside
and through the enemy's lines and set
tire to the barn and haystacks, in order
to light up the field in front of the be
leagured little band and about the lines
of the enemv. Earl J. Lamson, a cor
poral of Company B, Fourteenth Iowa,
offered himself as the desired incen
diary. I warned him of the imminent
danger of such an undertaking and the
few chances of escape from capture or
death. He replied : ! fullv compre
hend the danger but General Ewing be
lieved it necessary for the safety of this
command that the barn be fired and 1
can t do mv country a better service
than to attempt to preform the service."
He stripped himself, stole over the
banks of the railroad cut, and was soon
out of sight. As we waited with baited
breath for the result minutes seemed
hours. Soon, however, a commotion
was discovered among the enemy s
troops, and about the same time a
twinkling light was discovered in the
upper part f the barn through a gable
window. About the same time shots
innumerable were heard and the noise
of trampling men was carried to ns on
the night air. In the midst of the noise
and excitement Lamson came bounding
towards the railroad cut with the speed
of a race horse. As he leaped over the
barricade that bad been hastily erected
on the brink of the cut, he drew a long
breath and said : "She's well fired,
bovs." By the time he reached his
comrades the fire was going in full force.
and the whole grounds surrounding the
railroad cut were lighted np so that
with onr mnskets and two Parrot guns
we had with us we were soon able to
beat Marniaduke back out of range
The hay horned nearly all night, and
maintained a hunt so tne garrison was
saved from capture. Daylight came
and the enemy keit at bay until Col
onel Beveridge arrived from Rolla with
reinforcements, and Ewing conducted
his brave little band safely to Rolla.
Earl J. Lamson is alive and is an in
mate of the Soldiers Home at Roseburg.
He is hale and hearty and one of the
most genial and jovial old comrades at
.he Home.

declined to vote, saying that he could
not consistently vote for the bill, aud he
did not wish to go on record as opposing
the wishes and opinions of so great a
majority of his colleagues: So the vote

Proceeding all thh, though, there was

Hunt arose to oppose the amendment.
"This bill," said he, "his been very
carefully prepared and drawn by men in
every way competent to prepare and
draw such a measure. When it was be
fore the House several amendments
were offered. They were all regarded
filibustering measures, and were voted
down. I cannot regard this proton!
amendment as other than of a similar
nature.
"Of the $500,000 appropriation which
this bill calls for, $50,000 is to be used
for the erection of a rmanent Lewi
and Clark memorial building. Another
$50,000 is to be used for the purpose of
sending an exhibit to the St. Louis Ex
position. This reduces the uni which
it is proosed to expend on the I'JOo fair
to $400,000. On the best of authority
make the statement that a sum equal to
this has already been subscribed to the
fair fund being raised in Multnomah
County. These subscriptions will be
paid. I know a prominent Portland
banker who stands ready to pay iu his
subscription in full as soon as this bill
shall have been passed an J approved. I
know a prominent Portand manufactur
er who will do similarly.
'Now as to my authority for the state
ment that this sum of moiiev has been
subscribed: It in the Lewis and Clark
Exp sition Commission. This commis
sion is comiosed ot some oi tlie most
honored and prominent citizens of the
state. Their word that this mouev has
been raised is enough. No evidence i
needed that such an amount w ill be
raised. The amendment proposed by
the Senate from Douglas is sujrfluous.
We do not need it."
MAKSTERS WAXES WlKM.
I am surprised," said Marsters, tak
ing the floor again, "that any Senator
should object to this emendment. Iia
sum is raised and in bank equal to the
sum it is proposed to appropriate, what
is the harm in adopting the amend
ment? It is not my purjiose to appear
here as a filibuster, but 1 do wish to see
that in passing this bill we take proper
precautions and exercise proper judge
ment. Why should objection be made
to requiring a guarantee that the Fair
Association will raise the amount it says
it will raise? The amendment 1 have
offered is in the interest ot this fair,
If the Senator from Multnomah (Hunt)
really desires to see the fair made a
success, he will support the amendment
Mr. President and fellow Senators, we
cannot go back to our people and say to
them. We have given $500,000 to the
Fair Commission, and we have placed
no obligation upon them and exacted no
guarantee from them. This measure is
a most unusual one. This is the
first time the state has ever been called
upon to appropriate so large an amount
for so unusual a purpose."

MAESTK&S' BEPLV.
" The Senator from Clatsop has mis
understood or misinterpreted me," said
Marsters, getting the Moor again. "I
did not mean to say that this was a
Multnomah county measure entirely.
The Exjiosition Commission is nut com

A LITTLE DIVERSION.

and there sevmed some danger that the
debate might become acrimonious
when Mvers of Multnomah suddenly

The diversion was so sudden and un

The above brief dixpateh tells the
story of a sad snuffing out of a human
life. The conductor on the special train
told how the accident happened. The
man was walking across the trastle,
w hich isuite a long one, and was about
midway w hen he heard the northbound
train coming. He calmly climbed down
to one of the extended braces as all
bridge carpenters are accustomed to do
ing w hen a train approaches, and was
apparently in a safe position. He was

the engine rushed past he looked up at
his friend and recognized him.

It was announced recently that Irma

Lieutenant Scott earned his commission
in the Phillippincs, where he served as

Fulton of Clatsop arose to opiiose the
amendent.
'I have every confidence," he said,
'in the judgment and the sincerity of
the Senator from Douglas (Marsters)
but I am compelled to disagree with
him on this proiosition. This Lewis
and Clarke Exposition project is not a
project alone for tho people of Multno
mah county ; it is not even a project
alone for the people of the State of Ore
gon ; it is a project for the wholo North
west. I trust it is a project which w ill
result in great good for the whole North
west. I believe it to be such. The cele'
bration proposed is a celebration of the
anniversary which gave to the United
States a domain equal in all respects to
an empire. Had Lewis and Clark never
undertaken their expedition ; had they
never braved the dangers and suffered
the hardships of that expedition, then
the flag of great Britain would be wav
ing where now waves the Stars and
Stripes, and Mounts Hood and Rainier
would be standing, silent sentinels of
British instead of American domain.
"It seem to mo that regard for senti
merit in this matter rather than mere
regard for commercialism is the proper
spirit. I believe that the people of Ore
gon are actuated to a greater extent by
sentiment than by desire for gain in
this matter. We have said to the world
at largo already that wo are going to
hold a great exposition to commemo
rate the centinnial anniversary of the
Lewis and Clark expedition. Wo have
already given this notice to tho world.

from the passage of the bill, to submit
the bill to the will of the people under

amendment also was lost.
With trepidation and "miygiviligs I

move the final passage of this bill. But
while I do this w ith trepidation and mis
givings, I am fully conscious that I do
it w ith the support of the people." ,
Pierce of Umatilla arose to say that he
believed the sentiment of the state w as
unanimously for the fair. It was not so
a year ago, but it was so now ; thanks to
the campaign oi education waged by the
press of the state. Pierce was doubtful
as to the expediency of the project, but
people wanted the fair. So be it. He
would vote for it.
Here Marsters got the floor again.
"The Senator from Umatilla f Pierce)
saves his troubled conscience', he said,
by recomuieuJing that the Legislature
go down in the pockets of the people.
and bv added taxation replenish tlie
depleted treasury."
ao, caid Pierce, "i did not mean
that. I meant to enact corporation and
inheritance taxes."
That's right," said Marsters, "tax
the dead; they can't kick," and the
discussion closed amid a general laugh.
Booth announced that he would vote
for the bill, although he was not in
sympathy with the objects and beliefs
of the promoters of the fair. He did
not beleive the sentiment of the people
was unanimously iu favor of the project,
and he though' that a campaign of
education should be carried on in the
rural districts to unify sentiment there,
The bill was then placed on final pas

It is doubtful if the bill providing for
a iustrict Attorney ior eacn ujani;
ought to pass, unless in the small or
sparsley populated counties the salary
is made very small. In some counties
there is scarcely any business for a Dis
trict Attorney to do the year through.
It is possible that the number of Dis

outside of Multnomah and possibly two
or three other coon lies there is not
enough business for one to Justify such
an officer, unlets his salary be kept
down to correspond with the work he
will necessarily have to do for the

F. S, DAY,
The efforts made for some years by
Mrs. Lord, wife of the former governor,
to have the Oregon flax made up into
different articles, has at last been suc
cessful. A firm iu Oakland, Cnl., is
using the flax for, the manufacture of
linen toweling and tablS linen.
A merchandise house in Portland has
just received the first consignment of
the toweling and table linen and has
placed it on their counters. This firm
has been endeavoring to get these goods
for some time and it was only after re
peated efforts that they secured a ship
ment. All goods manufactured by the
Oakland firm find a ready market in the
East and very few reach this market.

Eeblin, Jan. 23. Public sentiment
has become jinjoistic in reference to the
complications with the United States
through happenings in enezuelan
waters.
Tho imperial government does not at
tempt to conceal its vexation at the at
titude the United States has taken as a
quasi protector of Venezuela, aad its as
sertion of the Monroe doctrine as an
entity in the settlement of differences
between . the European governments
and the South American republic.
It is certain that the German govern
ment would take umbrage at any de
mand from Secretary Hay for an ex
planation of the Fort San Carlos bom
bard men t.
The press today is almost unanimous
in upholding tho home government and
astertinn that any interference by the
United States is unwarranted.
It is said a man who squeezes a dollar
never squeezes his wife. In looking
over our accounts we note that some
awful good women we know are not get
ting the pressure they deserve.
