The executive committee of the Ore
gon Miner's Association has prepared a
bill to repeal the corporation tax law
and provide a substitute thereto. The
association; is in session at Portland,
and the bill was prepared Tuesday
evening, artd will be introduced at the
Special session which will meet next
Monday. The corporation law, known
as the Eddy law, was passed at the
last regular session of the legislature.
It places a tax of from 8125 to 8250 it
year on minlrfg corporations doing
business in this state, and was gener
ally understood to be a measure de
signed to defeat so-called wildcat min
ing schemes. The proposed new meas-

The local plant of the American Can

quarters at Portland the first part of
next week. At least that is the pres
ent arrangement and unless something
uniorseen occurs will be carried out.

the public to be present.
I The steamer Navarro will not con
tinue on the run between the Columbia
- river and Coos bay. She has been in
commission only one month, but will be
. taken off owing to the slack condition
of business. The Navarro is owned by
the California & Oregon Steamship
Company. The officials report that It
would be a losing game to continue her
" In the service longer. They report that
during the balance of the winter there
will not be enough business between
Portland and the Coos bay points for
one steamer, and that It will be an easy
matter for the Alliance to make port of
entry calls there just as she has been
doing while en route to San Francisco.
There is no probability of another
steamer being put on between now and
spring, if then. The Navarro is now
loading lumber at the Eastern mill for
San Francisco. It Is officially stated
that she will be kept In the lumber
trade.

ASTORIA'S LEADING H0U3EFURMSHERS
Everything for the homeJ Ask to see our Jewell ranges.
The Monday evening Telegram was
an industrial edition of 64 pages'. The
paper was replete with information
concerning Oregon. Its wealth and op
portunlties were written up in a conr
plete manner, and the text was aup
plemented with illustrations that were
telling indeed. Portland and vicinity
predominated, but other sections of the
state were not forgotten. The Astoria
ft Columbia River Railroad had good
space, which were accompanied by
couple of pictures of Astoria, showing
its growth from 1S53 to 1903.
Tf the plans of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company are carried out In
southern California there will be live
ly war in the lumber trade, and a re
sultant cut In prices. James V. Bell
hi arrived In Los Angeles and has an
nounced that he will conduct the war
of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany against the freighters which car
ry passengers between California, Ore
gon and Washington ports'. Bell de
clares that there" are 62 lumber
schooners carrying passengers and cut
ting Into the business of his company.
He says the Pacific Coast Company will
establish a yard at San Pedro and
stock It with 15,000,000 feet before Jan
uary 1.
The steamship Lothian, with a cargo
of 38,430 barrels of flour valued at $135,
500, It en route down the river. She
will arrive on the flood tide. She Is
bound for Hong Kong. .The tramp bad

her Celestial passengers and entire
crew numbering 57 souls. At San
For a short time this morning the sa
loons of the city were open, but they
did not long remain so. Sheriff Lin
vllle notified them to close their doors
and the order was complied with. The
liquor dealers could see no reason for
observng the law, as absolutely no In
terest was manifested in the election.
Appreciating that Dr. Tuttle hud a
cinch, people went about their businesn
In the usual manner, and there was
nothing whatever to indicate that a
battle of ballots waa in progress. The
county offices did not open this morn
ing, but Auditor Anderson was found at
his post at 10:30. When 'a few news
paper men called at his office they sug
gested to him that 'he was working
overtime and, remembering that the
office should be closed, he barred the
doors.
In Its market report of yesterday, the
Portland Journal says that the egg
market today showed an additional
weakness and prices went down to 35o
with a bang. Even at this figure ,)t
cannot be said that there is any real
strength In the market. The receipts
are new beginning to show up with a
largeness that simply staggers the com
mission men. Most of the eggs com
ing In nbw have been saved up for sev
eral weeks by the farmers, and when
the proe reached the top at 40c the oth
er day everybody thought that It was
time to ship but It wasn't, and the
larger recepts caused the market to be
come frightened and the result was a
severe decline in the quotations from
the 40c figure. From 40c the price
went to 37 c, and today it went down
an additional 2c and fell heavily at
35c. The future of the egg market
depends altogether on the weather.
Warm rains will bring larger receipts
and a consequent decline In prices,
while a severe cold would have a tend
ency to cause a falling off In receipts
and the usual result an advance in
figures.
Today's election will make Dr. Tuttle
statu senator to succeed Senator Fulton
The democrats had a chance to play a
very smooth trick on Dr. Tuttle, but
advantage waa not taken of the open
ing thus offered, although it was freely
discussed by the unterrlfled. In thlt
land of ours It is not necessary that a
man be nominated by a political con
ventlon or In any other manner that he
may run for office. The ballots are al
ways prepared so that voters may ex
press their choice for office, even if
flipy write the names of their favorites
on the tickets. The fact that no one
was dominated In opposition to Dr.
Tuttle killed all interest in the election
The vote in the city will be very small,
although that of the country precincts
will be heavier, as an election is always
a diversion in the outlying districts. It
is likely .however, that not more than
500 votes will be cast today, many plac
ing the estimate much lower. If this
transpires to be the case, it would have
been the easiest thing In the world for
the democrats to get several hundred
men to go to the polls and write the
nnme of some member of that party
on the ticket. By carefully selecting
the men, the democrats might secretly
carry out the purpose and bring about
the election of an unnamed candidate.
But they did not try this plan, and Dr.
Tuttle will represent Clatsop county in
the upper house.
