Salem, Feb. 21. Charles W. Fulton, of Astoria, state senator from Clatsop county, was selected United States senator to succeed Joseph Simon, on the 18th ballot, last night. There was high excitement through' out the evening session, and the state house presented the same old feveriBh expectancy that has been the leading characteristic ot the senatorial eleo tlons, since the possibility of a dead' lock first crept Into Oregon politics. At first tho vote showed a tendency to remain unchanged, despite the whispered prophecies of an early break and a landslide for a dark horse. Members answered the roll call for the old candidates with a snappy de termination that seemed to denote a certain deadlock. Not a change of couutenance could be seen in all that body of legislators. Thore was absolutely no tremor "in tho voices for the first four ballots. Then Mays, of Multnomah, switch ed from Williams to Geer. A momen tary ruffle of the complacent visages was seen. The members straighten ed up in their seats In expectancy. No further change was made, until urton deserted tue venerable mayor of Portland and toolt shelter under the shadow of the -'Tall Tamarac."- All this time the friends of the va- rious candidates were busy. While the clerks were footing up the bal lots the members were intermingling in confusion, visiting and campaign ing. The 17 democrats had no factional gods to appease, and sat in their seats, amused and interested specta tors in the drama that had a senator In making. When Senator Andrew C. Smith, of Multnomah, arose to nominate H. W. Scott, there was a breathless silence. In a neat and well-worded speech he presented tho name of the Oregon Colossus to the joint assembly. No sooner had he finished than the wild cheers drowned the voice of the pres ident, who vainly rapped for order. 1 Quiet restored, Malarkey, of Mult nomah, arose to second tho nomina tion of Scott, when the first disorder ly demonstration of the entire ses sion was shown. The Geer men hiss ed Malarkey and hooted the name of Scott, shouting wildly, "Goer," "Geer." On the first ballot after Scott's nomination, Geer's force of 30 vanish ed like a snow man before a Chinook wind. Six stalwart veterans stood firmly by him. Scott had 28 votes on the first ballot, while Fulton's 33 swelled to 35. From the 14th to tho 18th ballot, the greatest confusion prevailed. The Geer forces, absolutely demor alized, canvased In vain. The Fulton soldiers showed no sign of weakening. The 17 democrats. smoked and voted for Wood. On the 18th ballot the usual monot onous roll call had proceeded but a short way, when a Scott man, with trembling voice, announced that the time had arrived to elect a senator, and voted for Fulton. Like sheep crowding through a narrow gap, tho Scott forces rushed Into the Fulton ranks, Bpeaker following speaker In quick succession. i When the vote was counted, Ful Ton had the necessary 40 and the 22d legislative assembly was at an end. Fulton made a neat speech, thank' Ing the members for the support and the joint assembly adjourned. Following is the vote in detail: First ballot Senate called in at 8 o'clock. Fulton 33, Geer 27, Wood 17, Williams G, scattering 4. second Ballot Geer gained one, Hume going to him. Fulton 33. Geer 28, wood 17, Williams G, scattering 3.

At 10:28 the following message was sent out: Jonathan Bourne has form ed an alliance with Scott for tho pur pose of electing the latter senator. Scott expects all of Goer's voto, but Fulton's friends say ho cannot get all. Fulton says that unless he himself Is elected thore will be a deadlock. Twelfth ballot No change.

Quotations Furnished by the Coe Commission Company D. C. Sulli van, Manager, Room 4, Association Block. Chicago, Feb. 21. Wheat Opened. May 77 Salem, Ore., Feb. 21.- Governor Chamberlain yesterday returned sen ato bill No. 50, Introduced by Senator Booth, to senate with his veto. The bill provides for the protection of forests and lumber and was thought to have been a meritorious measure until it underwent the keen scrutiny of the governor, who discovered num erous irregularities in it which he did not look upon favorably and he com mcntcd upon It as follows; The bill purports to be for the protection of forests and timber of the stato against forest fires. Its ob ject is worthy, but I cannot give my assent to tho measure beforo mo for many reasons, two of which I will now consider. "First. It appropriates $5,000 annu ally for the purpose of carrying out tne provisions of the act, but while this appropriation Is made, the bill by Its very terms, authorizes tho ere atlon of claims against tho state and the several counties which may reach as much as $50,000 in ono year, for which deficiency appropriations would havo to be made at the next session of the legislature to cover the state'. portion thereof. "The commissioners named in the act are authorized to appoint at least one person in each county of the state as a fire warden they may appoint more. Say that they do appoint two In each county, Tho salary for each Is not to exceed $300, Sixty-six flro wardens at $300 each, Is $19,500 per annum. "The flro wardens In each county, at the request ot the commission, have power to nominate, with the ap proval of the commission, five rang ers, whose salaries aro to be paid by the counties, and are not to exceed $2 per day, while employed In actual service. The secretary of tho com mission is to receive $5 per day for tne time actually employed by him ana be, together with each of the commissioners, receives mileage at the rate-of five cents per mile for tho oistance actually traveled in the per- lormanc of duty. "It Is safe to say that there will be applications filed with tho commis sion to appoint men to tho full limit of their power of appointment, and tne expense in the very nature of things is bound to be large, however capablo and honest the commission may be. 'A largo indeutedness will surely cr created against the state and nura trous claims against tho several coun ties. Protection of the timber Inter ests of the sato may Justify tho ex pense, but it seems to mo that the bill itself ex vi termini, should limit tho amount of moneys which the com mission shall expend, and nn appro priation maay inerefor. faecond: Another objection tn the act is the fact that tho legislature un dertakes to deprive the executivo of the state of tho power given him by the constitution. It will be noticed that this act names the five commis sioners, who aro to hold their olllces for four years, after which the execu tive is to appoint an admission on the face of the act that the executivo is the oropor person to annolnt the commissioners and not the legisla ture "For the reasons stated. I return It herewith with my veto." 74 15 44 35 33 17G0 1715 Closed. 77 mi 73;f74 July Corn May ... July ... Oats- May . . . July ... Pork May ... July ... Minneapolis, Fob. 21. Wheat Opened.
