Oregon swings again Into the re
publican column with a good major
ity. In the race for United States
senator McXary leads his opponent,
West,' by upwards of 16,000 majorl
ty, while Governor Wlthycombe leads
IiIb democratic opponent, Walter M
Pierce, by almost as large majority,
The unofficial count gives West as
carrying but one county, Deschutes,
while Wlthycombe carried every oth
er county.
Jackson county elected the
straight rcbubllcan ticket with the
exception of V. S. Senator, which
West carried over MoNary by eight
votes. The vote Is as follows:
United State's Senator McXary,

Normal Committee
Appreciates Support
The Xormal School Committee
deeply appreciate the splendid co
operation of the State Supt. of Pub
lic Instruction and his assistants and
the teachers and county superinten
dents generally thruout the state.
The local papers have been very loy
al and have given the measure a
great amount of publicity which has
resulted In a large vote from this sec
tion. The same is true of many
other papers In the state, most of
which had only a very Indirect In
terest In the proposition.
We want to thank all of the people
and organizations everywhere who
have contributed to the campaign
work. No matter whether It was
money or work or simply good hard
voting, we want to thank you. We did
our best to get votes enough to go
with yours so that the matter would
be settled right. We had some big
odds to work against, but we also
had some things in our favor which
we never had In previous campaign
and we felt that It was going to come
out all right.
The shortest explanation of the un
happy ending is that we did not get
votes enough. But you know and
we know that even In losing we have
the satisfaction of having fought for
something eminently worth while,
and if It needs be that we put still
more of our lives into the winning
of a JuBt cause, bo let It be. It will
not nave oeen tne first time that a
good cause has been repeatedly,
turned down only to one day win
and after that enjoy a continuous
victory.
Horace Mann gave some of the
best years of his life to accomplish
this very thing, a .several-normal-
school system for Massachusetts; and
now that state is reckoned as one of
the very best In the United States in
the efficiency of Its public school
system. His plan Is generally recog
nized all over the country as the best
way of receiving a good supply of
good teachers.
"Let's be up and doing with a heart
for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing, learn
to labor and to wait."

Mrs. W. J. Dougherty of Oak street,
and Donald Rice, nephew of Mrs. E.
J. Van Sant and a former resident of
this city, was recently Inspected by
U. S. Senators Chamberlain and Mc
Xary. The 63rd Is made up almost
entirely of Oregon men', and the
senators enjoyed greeting a few who
were Intimate friends.
Many persons besides the senators
have commented on the size of the
soldiers in this regiment, the aver
age of which is close to six feet.
Many of them were farmer boys and
lumbermen or miners, and know the
game of outdoor life like a book.
Very little sickness developed among
them In the recent epidemic. There
were eleven deaths in the regiment,
but only two of these were among
the westerners.

Siberia Not a Bad
Country For Army
The news that the American
armies are being sent to Siberia
strikes terror to the hearts of moth
ers of boys In those regiments de
signed for that land which is gener
ally considered the epitome of cold
and desolation. According to au
thorities, however, the armies now
stationed In and around Vladivostok
are really well off.
It is claimed that the country and
climate are about like that of east
ern Pennsylvania, and the soldiers
have fine times fishing and hunting
The winter season begins like ours in
November, and the facilities for bar
racks In Vladivostok are unusually
good. While war generally Is not
the healthiest occupation In the
world, It may be some comfort to
the parents whose sons are sent to
far-off Siberia to know that they
ase not any worse situated than in
any other part of the war zone.

A new coal vein has lately been
discovered in the Roxy Anne dis
trict five miles northeast of Med
ford by W. T. Estep of that city, and
Is the lowest vein of coal yet de

has developed a four and one-half
foot vein, having two small partings
of shale, leaving three and one-halt
feet thickness. of first class coal.
An analysis shows that this coal
Is low In moisture as compared with
other western coal. The ratio of
carbon to volatile carbon Is high,
which shows 't to be a bituminous
coal of good quality. Its high calor

the very best western coals.
