Mulkey of Portland was today elected "United States Sena tor to succeed John Sf. Gearin for tho short unexpired term of the Iato Sena tor Mitchell,-and Jonathan Bourne was elected for the full terW beginning March 4, with only 4 votes iri the Senate and 3 votes In th& Housa ii against him. Mulkey and Bourno were the choice of the people for the short and long terms respectively, as expressed at the June elections. Thb three representatives who did no(t Vote for Bourne were Reynolds, Rodgera and 8ettlemeir of Mariou7 These representatives explained that in the Campaign they did not pledge themaelvefj and as their constituents gave a plurality against Bourne, they felt free to use their own judgment The four senators who did not vote for Bourno wera Booth of Laue, Laycock of Grant, Miller of Linn and Marion! Wiiealdon of Wasco. The election was the quietest elec tion of a United States Senator, ever.' held in Oregon, and the voting occu- r- pled about SO nlmutes. There was no discussion in the House and very little in the Senate. Cosbow, a democrat', rose to explain that be voted for a ' republican for senator because ho believed in the principle of electing senators by the direct vote of the people. For election, 16 votes were required in the Senate and 31 in the House, making a total of 47. Bourne received 80 votes and Mulkey 87, THE TIME IS RIPE to learn tho attitude of these people upon their proposed county, they could easily have found out how unan imously they are opposed to it.

Oregoniaa. 8peakIngof the proposed division of- Crook Couuty, the Bend Bulletin says:' That the time is ripe for such a division is not disputed. The county court's receut bull-dosing tactics Iu foistiug an extravagant court house upon the taxpayers -for the beautlfyr ng Prinevilleregardless of the slgued protests of more than 800 citi zens has created a determination to forever be rid pf such treatment, and' u the future couduct their own bust ness and spend their tuxes for Im provements asked for and ueeded. Other outrages have only strengthened this determination. Furthermore. tho legislature seems favorable to such a move, which is another indication ora ripe tlmo. That brand of politics in which Prineville takes pride is at present strongly discredited at Salem, Legislators are now aiming to more fully serve the people and a bill strongly Budorsed ami bearing merit on Its faco is sure of favorable consul; eratiou. Wo have the. unanimous endorsement of this wholoseotion aud ' a bill wltii merit. 'Furthermore this movo is ouly for a division aud not a taking away, It ? la not asked that a souutyseat ho movedponiy that a new one be crear ted. Wo do not ask for that which belongs to ami s possessed by another, but ratlriar a dlvlslou of a county which development has made too largo for proper transaction of business, J. T.
