Senator Chamberlain was notified to

Instead of 'taking the military affairs
and Indian affairs committees he stib

-being on three committees,, those most
. intimately coming in touch with Oregon

These assignments place Oregon in as

Marshfield, Or., Mrqh 14. The meet
ng at the. Commercial club last evening
was an oyeopener to pne who lias attend
ed such meetings In viirlous parts of the
state, for the hall Vai not only full to
1 1 so ting -capaolty, but fally 104 pe-uple
stood during the entire proceedings, and
many were op the walk outside.
Dr. J. T.' ilcCormac is the president of
the club, and Walter Lyons la the secre
tary, but Mr. Lyons has been in Wash
ington all winter, and the $26,000 appro
priation by congress for the improve
ment of the Coos Bay harbor may be to
a large degree credited to him, for he
was at his post all the time, and did not
allow the matter to be forgotten.
- One of the best omens of the meeting
last night wai exhibited by the attend
ance or a large number rrom isorm
Bend. The tw'o towns are working in
entire harmony, all pulling together for
Coos bay, the names of Marshfield and
North Bend cutting no figure when there
Is an opportunity to assist in the devel
opment of the section at large. In fact
when the people from here get abroad
they always claim to come from Coos
bav In preference to claiming to hail
from any particular town.
It must be confessed that this Is the
right spirit, something that Is bound to
win, for it is hard to deny anything to
a united people.
But the meeting last night was not
only pleasing In numbers, but doubly
so in the spirit manifested by the audi
ence. -" Your correspondent spoke for(an
hour, his nlsslon being to tell the audi
ence what had been done at the meeting
of the Oregon-Idaho Development con
gress at Boise last month, and other
Tacts about the movement for a rail
way from Boise to Coos bay, and when
the resolutions adopted at Boise we re
read, when it was shown that 'the con
gress has but one aim,, on object and
one ambition, and that the building of
such a railway, and when it was further
pointed out how the work was gaining
conveits among the , best men in the
state every day, the aiMience simply
went wiid.wun entuusiasra.
Are Terribly In Earnest.
When one's remarks are bo enthuslas
tlcallv received it seems like self lamia
tlon to speak or write about It. But I
feci that It was my mlRslon and' not my
personality that the vast audience rose
to. Tiipy are terrioiy in earnest, ana
they welcome any instrument that can
assist them In the furtherance of their
object, and In the present instance they
feel that the Oregon-Idaho congress and
Its workers can assist them, will assist
them, and they are willing to bnck up
that work to the bcBt of their ability.
I cannot well speak of this moetlng
without mentioning lucre fully the or
ganization which held it. the chamber of
commerce. As said before. Dr. Mctor
mao ia the president, and Walter Lyons
the secretary, but behind them stantj
the best men in the community, and the
chamber Is a live wlr for sure. They
do not hold fixed meetings, but meet at
the call of the president, and they only
come together when there Is something
to be done, and then they get busy ana
do it.
The chamber mav be said to be the
real organizer of the Oregon-Idaho De
velopment congress, for the suggestion
for such an organisation was first men
tioned here by that body, and the first
meeting held here. The fine new hotel
here Is an outgrowth of a resolution
fiassed by the chamber, the asphalt pav
ng came from a movement bv them,
several of the- fine- buildings likewise
were there first mentioned, and the.
magnificent high school building, ,1ust

Jay Bowcrman, president of the
state senate, is to be a oandldate for
the Republican nomination and conse
quent election as governor of Oregon.
Senator Bowerman has not said so. On
the contrary he has said that he will
not be a candidate, but his friends re
member that he also said that he would
not he a candidate for president of the
senate and that he never said he was a.
candidate until he had his fences buua
ed so strong that there was no opposi
tion to him when the. time for battle
came. Therefore, they argue that the
senator from Sherman, Gilliam and
Wheeler will come out Into the lime
light when he deema It time to unfurl
his banner to the gubernatorial
breezes.
The practical announcement by K.
W. Benson that he would not be a can
didate for governor, but would try Tor
reelection as secretary of state, lends
adSed color to the renewed rumor that
Bowerman will be a candidate for gov
ernor. There Is a persistent rumor that
some sort of an understanding exists
between Benson and Bowerman by
I which Benson Is to stick to the secre-
leaving the race that much
the more open to Bowerman, while
Howerman In turn will use his Influ
ence for Benson in eastern Oregon.
It Is arguedjthat the course pursued
by Bowerman In regard to the normal
Hfhools will aid him in his aspirations
to be governor. Throughout the ses
sion he took the stand that the normals
shotrtA- be wiped out of existence - and
started over, by vote of the people, on
a new basis. He led the fight In- the
senate against the normal school com
bine, defeated the efforts of the nor
mal schools to secure an appropriation
for the next two years and insisted in
wiping out 'all normal school statutes
in the effort to start the normals out
on an even fight before the people. It
was through his suggestion that the
senate submitted its final proposition to
the house, providing for an appropria
tion until the end of the present year,
wiping out all normal statutes and re
turning the normal properties to their
original owners, which bill was turned!
down by the house on the last night of
tne special session.
Bowerman's friends contend that he
will make a formidable candidate' for
the governorship and ' insist that he
stands a good show of election, should
he decide definitely to come out into
the field and make an energetic campaign.

"DEAR MARIA" AT
WHITE HOUSE AGAIN
Washington, March 20. Back to the
White House have come Mr. and Mrs.
Bellamy Storer, after some three years
of exile following the unfortunate cul
mination bf their celebrated correspond
ence with Theodore Roosevelt Mr. and
Mrs. Storer. who are In Washington at
the Shoreham hotel pending the reopen
ing of their handsome home, were among
those who dropped in at the White
House for a social cup of tea.
Alleged participation In Roman Catho
lic International politics in which Presi
dent Roosevelt believed Mrs. Storer had
Implicated him, resulted In her hus
band's removal as ambassador to Aus-
uia-nungar)'. -
This was following the publication of
the "Dear Maria" letters from President
Roosevelt to Mrs Storer. Mr. Roosevelt
held that Mrs. Storer, In her ardor to
obtatrr ther-cardmal's red hat-for-Arch-'
bishop Ireland, had compromised him In
the politics of the Vatican and their cor
respondence was laid before the public
to its intense interest.
Then Mrs. Storer determined to return
to Washington and make social headway
despite the disapproval of the White
House. Mrs. Storer was Miss Maria
Long-worth -and an aunt of Nicholas
T .on a-worth, who married Miss Alice
Roosevelt. The Storers finally were dls
Bunded from their social campaign.
The friendship between the Longworth
family and Mr. Roosevelt was of long
standing. It dates DacK to ine years
when Mr. Storer was a member of the
hnnse of renresentatlves. and Mr. Roose.
velt vu a civil service commissioner,
and the Storer carriage was placed at
his disposal.
NOVEL STRAINS OF
PRAISE FOR IRELAND
New York, March 20. Irishmen, in
spite of their patriotic natures, have
no appreciation of the beauties of their
own country. Judge Marcus Kavanagh
declared in an address to the Catholic
Woman's league In the Fine Arts build
ing.
Judge Kavanagh said that while
poets sang the praises of La Belle
France, Bonny Scotland and placid
England, there was nof. a spbt on the
face of the earth naturally so beauti
ful as Ireland, yet Irishmen, as a rule;
did not arioreciate its loveliness.'
In speaking of St Patrick, Judge
Kavanagh said:
"There was a great deal of Christ
ianity in Ireland Before St Patrick
drove out the snakes. But it was only
scattered here and there. Centuries
aaro Ireland had one of the finest gov
ernments In the world. It was the
best sroverned country, at that time.
in Europe. It had over a hundred
kings to administer the law, and while
some or tnose Kings were vnnsiian, a
great number of them worshipped
pagan gods.

TWO LITTLE GIRLS
GET HERO MEDALS
New York, March 20. Alice and Dor
othy Edgerly, girls of 12 and 14. have
been presented congressional here med
als for saving the life of Miss Jean
Dowllng last summer at Pel ham Bay
park.
The presentation was made at the
Morris High school by Congressman Jo
seph 8. Qoulden, who submitted the
girls' names to congress for medals,
together with the necessary proofs of
their heroism.
The assemblyroom at the high school
was crowded when Mr. Qoulden, after
a speech -full of high praise gave the
little girls their medals. On their part
they were so embarrassed that thev
could hardly speak. Their agitation
was Increased when Miss Dowllng. a
teacher in a Bronx school, appeared
from behind Mr. Qoulden snd kissed
them both. As a roar of applause broke
from the room full of people the two
children seemed ready to faint.
trora tne same platform two other
heroes also got belated medals. They
were Henry George a young negro and
Policeman Rush Webster of the Mor
rtsanla station. Both did splendid work
on tbe day the steamer George Blocum
was Durtiea in tne Kast rtver nut their
cases were quits forgotten for two

BOISE POLICE 1
WANT KUNST
Hartford, Conn., March 20. Hiram
Percy Maxim, Inventor of the noiseless
gun, was asked what he had to say
about the threat of the chief of polics
of Pittsburg, Pa., that he would arrest
anyone found possessing a silencer and
also clap him In Jail, and be said:
The chief of police of Pittsburg, If
he is quoted correctly, tells how easily
and without detection one man with a
silenced revolver could kill another.
Evidently he has not even read the pa
pers, for It has been stated very plainly
time and again that no silencer has
been or could very well bs fitted, to
revolver. The construction of a re
volver, with Its chambers open at both
ends, prevents Its equipment with a
si lencer. On ly rifles are thus tu 1 ppedjL;
and murderers do not go around empeilX
with rifles. , v X
Then again, as has been carefully
explained, the noise of discharge, of
a silenced rifle would be lound enough .
to betray the man who fired unless a
gun of small cs liber and low velocity
were used. It has been demonstrated
that when a bullet travels at the rate
of 1 200 feet or over per second It makes
a crack as It tears through the air that
Is perceptible for 200 or 300 yards. Bv
means of the silencer the explosive noise
Is done away with, but the bullet noise
remains.
SCnLEY ONCE MORE
AT WHITE HOUSE
Washington, March 20. Rear Admiral
Schley has seen the inside. of the White
House for the first time in several
years. Since President Roosevelt took
the other end of the Santiago sea bat
tle controversy the admiral has walked
a long way around when going from the
navy department to any place down
town. He called with Senator Rayner of
Maryland, who said, when the two came..
from the president's office. "No other
two persons are happier to see Mr. Taft
in the White House," and the admiral
smiled soquiescence.
The Bellamy Storers. Senator Bailey,
Senator Nelson and Admiral Schley are
only a few of the persons, who. since
Mr. Roosevelt retired, have returned to
the White House after years of ab
sence. SOLDIER FALLS 75
