Sai.km, Or., Feb. 22, 1901.
In order to straighten up the nccountB
of the school land board, a shortage In
whose acconnta was mentioned in yes
terday's issue, the judicial y committee
hna introduced the following resolutions:
WituuKAS, under and by virtue of
concurrent resolution No. 5, it committee
consisting of two fneinbera Irom the
eenato and three from the house was
appointed to Investigate nnd report up
on the school funds of the etatn of Ore
gon, and
Wiikkkah, said committee upon the
20th day ol February, 1031 died its re
port, therein to the effect that there
appears to bo aJWiortugo or dpficit In
said tlinds during the year pending
December 31, 1894,. hi the sum of $30,
049. r.T, which said sum appears to be in
no wise accounted for, now, therefore,
be it
lleKolved by the senate, the house con
curring, that a copy of said report be
Sf nt to the attorney-general of the state
of Oregon with instructions
Firet That he give this matter Iiib
official attention and take such nteps
therein as are necessary for the protec
tion of the interests of the state of
Oregon.
Second That he bo permitted to em
ploy such clerical aid in his said investi
gations as to him may be necessary and
convenient therein.
Third That the senate anil house of
representatives recommend to said at-torney-seneral
that in his said investi
gations he emplov the clerical aid or
such thereof ns may be neces'arv through
whom the alleged deficit Inn been made
known.
Fourth That tho said attornev-gen-eral
is instructed, in case any misman
agement or misappropriation of tho
state funds be discovered to exist, to
prosecute the wrongdoer or wrong doers
to the full extent of the law, nnd in all
ways use his best effort in the protection
of the interests of the state of Oregon as
aforesaid.
Dnrinu the joint ballot for United
States senator yesterday much excite
ment was caused by .Mr. Dresser who,
when hia name ,was called, arose and
said in part :
"Mr. President, I hold in my hand
the Oregonian, dated today, in which
the question is asked, 'Will Mr. Dresser
explain?' I do so without hesitancy,
although unprepared, in these words:
Something like live or six months before
the lust election I had an understand
ing with Mr. Simon and Mr. Steele and
others that I was to be the joint repre
sentative from Multnomah and Clack
amas counties. It was understood that
I was to vote for Mr. Corbett for the
U. S. senate if he should be a candidate.
I also agreed to help Multnomah county
in her interests at the legislature in all
matters that were right. When the
Clackamas county convention was held
the delegation to the state convention
was in my support, however. Graham
Glass Jr. notilied mo just before that
convention that there were many candi
dates for the position and that it would
be necessary for me to make my sena
torial position more plain, and the let
ter, of which 1 suppose this in the
Oreponian today to be a copy, was
handed to me for my signature. I
signed it, although not eager or anxious
to do so.
"Until ten days previous to tho ses
sion I had intended to vote for Mr.
Corbett. But at this time I heard
rumors regarding the conduct of Mr.
Corbett in carrying on this campaign
whiuh showed that the methods of that
man and his supporters were somewhat
questionable. I thought seriously of
the storiea told me; 1 weighed the mat
ters care'ully. What was right? I
thought it was right for me not to vote
for Mr. Corbett and his methods. I did
not want to vote for Mr. McBride and
told him so. 1 was in fact supporting
no candidate. At his solicitation one
day, 1 met Corbett in his room alone
and Iih said to me, 'Why don't you do as
you agreed and vote for me?1 I said, 'I
have tieen sutialied that the manner in
which your campaign bus been con
ducted hua not been proper. I have the
confidence of my people nnd the demo
crats nnd populists of my county trust
me and 1 am going homo with their
confidence still.'
"We hud u further talk but no agree
ment was leached, and I left Mr. Cor
bett in u pleasant humor.

Bourne, Graham Glass Jr. and Henry

"Now I cannot be driven into this
thing I cannot be bought! (Cheers
for a half minute, which the president
was tumble to suppress.)
"The campaign methods of Corbett
anil tiis friends do not honor the state.
If it drivca me to political oblivion, I
cannot help it. 1 believe I am right.
"Who made Graham Glass Jr. the
imperial czar of this state? Mr. Presi
dent, I wish to cast my vote today for

.Special Council Meeting.
A special adjourned meeting of tho
city council, held lust night, it was de
cided that in the matter of choosing
lights for the city, according to the
terms offered by E. Kurtz and associ
ates, the city would be be9t served by a
service consisting of fifteen urc lights of
1200 candle-power and fifty-four iucan
dotcent lights of 32-candle-power.
The recorder was accordingly instruct
ed to draw up an ordinance instructing
the innyor-and recorder to enter into a
contract with K. Kurtz and associates
for the lights decided upon according to
the terms of Kurtz and associates' ofl'er.
A petition aigned by Emil Schonno,
William McCrum, John Murden, A. S.
Bennett, Vic Murden, M. ',. Donnell
and II. .1. Muier, was presented asking
the council to take such action ns may

by the city ol Fourth street from Dr.

wheie Fourth street intersecta the west
ern boundary of Dallea City, so that the
city might have the same right to repair
that part of Fo.irth street us it has to
repair the other streets of the city.
The recorder was instructed to notify
