Predicts That Oregon Legis
lature Will Refuse to Elect
Gov. Chamberlain.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 5.
Senator Pulton said:
"I regret very much the defeat of
Mr. Cake. I am not going to be
lieve, however, that a Republican
Legislature will elect a Democrat to
the United States Senate until I wit
ness tho actual fact.
"I am on record as contending
when the direct primary law was
adopted, that the people did not un
derstand that under any circumstan
ces a Republican Legislature would
bo called upon to elect a Democratic
senator, or they never would have
adopted the law. In my judgment,
In selecting a senator and taking the
oath of office to support tho Consti
tution of the United States, if the
legislator selects anyone for tho sen
ate who In his judgment does not
represent the principles and policies
that are for the best interests of the
people, he violates bis oath.
"Hence I say the Republican
Legislature will not elect Demo
cratic senators."

T
Contractor W. 0. McCann
Ships Part of Material for
Front and 'C Streets.
W. O. McCann Is expected here
within a few days to begin his con
tract for paving Front street, 'C
street, between Front and Second
streets and Broadway, between 'C
and 'B' streets with asphalt. Part
of the material has already been re
ceived here from Eureka and the
machinery and the remainder of the
material will arrive within a few
days.
Mr. McCann expects to rush the
work on the Jobs he has already se
cured and it is likely that the streets
mentioned will be completed before
the Second Southern Oregon District
Fair here, the last week in August.
Property owners on other down
town streets are figuring on some
paving if the work on Front and 'C
streets meets their approval after it
is completed.
Other Street Work.
Property owners on West 'C
street or C avenue are still unable
to agree upon a plan for improving
that thoroughfare. At a recent
meeting with the city engineer and
the street committee of the city
council, they were unable to get to
gether. Another meeting will be1
held. It is possible that the extent
of the proposed improvement may
bo cut down, going only as far as)
Lincoln street. This would eliminate
the most expensive part of the work
and at the same time improve the
worst part of the thoroughfare.
Yesterday afternoon, City Engin
eer Sandberg, the members of tho
street committee of the city council
and the property owners on Burneit
street had a meeting. It was prac
tically impossible to alter the plans.

line King of Olalla, Wash., is now in
tho county jail hero charged with
tho murder of her husband, Edward
King. She admits that she burned
his body. She had never heard of
cremation of human bodies until
told of it a fortnight ago while vis
iting her daughter in Seattle.
"Do they really burn bodies in
stead of burying them?" was her
surprised question. When assured
such Is the case, she asked eagerly
for particulars of the method by
which this disposal of bodies is ac
complished. It was a little more than a week
later that she almost completely
destroyed the body of her husband
by building a funeral pyre alongside
her little cabin in the woods. So
thorough was her work that an
ounce tobacco box now holds all the
ashes and pieces of charred bone
of the body that tho officers are able
to find.
The officers who have investigated
King's death say that they believe
the crime was premeditated.
