Most of the cabinet members accompanied him. Admission to hear the address read was by ticket and the tickets were exceedingly hard to obtain. Only one apiece was allowed even to congressmen and senators. Nearly every member of the house was in his seat and the galleries were packed some time before the hour set for the president's appearance. Just he- tore he stepped into the chamber, the senators, with Vice President Marshall at their head, filed in and took seats in front. The chief executive had been chat ting In th meantime in Speaker Clark's office with the senate and house committeemen delegated to act as his escort. At 12:30 t.ie speaker's gavel tapped his desk and a moment later the president walked in, accom panted by Senators Kern, Gallinger. and Bacon and by Congressmen Mann, Underwood, and Fitzgerald. His voice, as he read, sounded full and strong, and reached every corner of the big chamber. Congressman Mann started the applause when the presi dent reached the portion of his mes sage saying that the people were ready to welcome a law giving the Interstate commerce commission control of thi railroads' financial policies. Except for the diplomatic and exec utive reservations, the galleries were filled by 11 o'clock. Mrs. Wilson, with her daughters, Margaret and Eleanor, Miss Helen Bones and Dr. Grayson, ar rived at 12:20. Secretary of State Bryan, also arriving somewhat late, escorted a party of South American diplomats to their seats. He was smil ing, affable and evidently happy. At the reading of previous messages women have been in a majority in the galleries, Dut today tnere were as many men as women present. The assertion that "guilt is per sonal" was also warmly applauded, and the president himself was heartily cheered as he left the chamber. The senators took their departure as soon as he had gone, and the house resumed its routine.

So far, I have never held a political office, and when I came down to Port land to live I determined to keep out of politics and devote my time exclu sively to the law; but there are some other reasons why I should like to be governor of Oregon, and there are some why I should not consider run nine at all. Like Governor West, I am too poor to be governor." Mr. Johns has oeen a resident of Oregon since 1858. .He was twice elected mayor of his home town. Baker City, this being the only elective office he .ever held.

Without exception the ministers ob jected so vehemently, however, that he finally yielded, at least for the time. The main reason for his anxiety to check the rebels at this time was said to be that they are approaching Tor reon, where there la stored cotton worth several millions, and he"- does not want it to fall into their hands.

Oregon City, Or., Jan. 20. What may have been a plot to blow up an entire family was discovered by accident Monday morning. Four dynamite caps. each with an explosive pressure of 600 pounds to the square inch, were wedged into a stick of wood, conven iently placed at hand in James Cur ren's barn on Roosevelt street, where his wife could get it and put It in the stove. Mrs. Curren went to get some wood for her stove Monday morning. She picked up a large chunk and started towards the house. Finding it too large for her stove, she started to split it. The first blow of the ax revealed a dynamite cap. The caos were so arranged that they could explode either from concussion or fire. If the wood had been burned in the stove, the force of the four caps exploding would probably have w recited the house and killed Its Inmates. The local police department and Sheriff Maas' office were notified at once and are working on the case. Mr. Curren is- an employe of the paper mills of this city.
