Washington. Jan. t, 1S06. States
men, diplomats, soldiers, sailors, office-holders,
office-seekers and plain
people all gathered at the White
House today to pay their respects to
President and Mrs. Roosevelt. The
u.i.im OI me nisioric mansion were
thrown open at II o'clock, and for
three hous a living stream of wcll-
wlshlng citizens poured In through
the marble corridors, filed past the
president and hla wife In the beauti
ful blue parlor.
Toduy'H reception was one of the.
moat brilliant In history. Since the
fair daya of Washington, when the
loyal colonists Journeyed to New York
to pay homage to the nation's chief,
no annual birthday has been observed
with a greater wealth of gold lace,
smart gowns. Joyous music or cordial
good will. This New Year reception.
waa notable tn many ways. For In
stance, there was a real vice-president
there, a dignitary not seen at similar
celebrations for eight years. Hobart
waa the last one of that rank who
participated, until today when Fair
banks took his place at the head or
the cabinet line. Mrs. Fairbanks
ranked the ladies of the cabinet In a
semi-circle at Mrs. Roosevelt's right
hand.
M,bs Alice Roosevelt, whom every
one wished to see and congratulate,
waa the beheld of all beholders In a
sweel crowd of girls gathered In the
green room.
Then there were many new faces In
the" diplomatic corps. One year ago
today. Count Casslnl, the Russian am
bassador, led the diplomatic proces
sion, entering the White House Just
as the news bearers were crying "Ex

fall. Not far behind him camo Tak

illuminated by an Ill-concealed smile
of triumph. Today Baron Rosen re
placed Count Casslnl, and Instead of
being at the front of the foreign con
tingent, he was sixth, next to the last,
Japan had no minister In line, as Bar

and the general arrangement of de

those of a year ago. A fine band of 60

shining sun and brilliant sky are In
strange contrast with the foreboding

An Informal meeting of first class

the most popular being that each
member send a letter to the superin

Kx-Covernor Frank Steunenberg or
Idaho, was blowi, to pieces by a dyna
mite bomb placed al the gate of his
resilience In Caldwell, Idaho, late Sat
urday evening. His legs were blown
off by Ihe force or the explosion and
he was otherwise horribly mangled,
lie lived but a short time and never
regained consciousness. A special to
the Oregon Sunday Journal on Satur
day iilebt gives the details of the hor
rible crime as follows:
Former Covernor Frank Sleunen
bcre; of Idaho, was assassinated at
o'clock Katnrdav evening inst as
, hp KM ,, ,hrnu?h the gate lead-
t'l'-; Into the yard cf his home at
Caldwell. Idaho. The governor had
been down town and was returning to
his home wdn n he met his ibath. He
was alone. Just as be entered the.
gate a terrific explosion occurred,
blowing bis body literally to pieces.
There was no witness to ihe assas
sination, but Ihe explosion waa of
sueh terrific f iree that windows In
resMerices on bulb sides of the street"
were shattered and considerable dam
ai;e was done lo the Steunenberg
homo, although no one besides the
eovcrnor was Injured.
Vhe sound of the explosion and the
splintering plass brought the Inmates
of the houses
of Ihe Steuin
rr blocks on each side;
iberg home rushing Pn
Ihe scene.
Alter the first excitement had died
down and the fragments of the body!
of the former governor had been re-
moved to his home, a careful inspec-
tlon of the scene of the tragedy was
made.
It was found that a dynamite bofflb
bad been used to take the life of Mr.
Sleunenberg. The assassin had cun
ningly arranged the dynamite so that
the opening of the gate would ex
plode It.
There Is tio clue to the assassin, but
II is believed to be the revenge of
miners who were convicted of com
plicity in the Coeur d'Alene riots In
1S!1!. During those troublous times
in the Coeur d'Alenes In that year
Steuneuberg was governor of Idaho.
It was his order that sent the state
troops to the scene. The riots were
quelled and many leaders arrested.'
The leaders were tried and convicted
and sentenced to six years' Imprison
ment, and were recently released from
the penitentiary.
At the time of the trial many
threats were made against Governor
Steunenberg by the prisoners as to
what would happen to him when they
were released.
Owing to the supposition that the
assassination Is a result of the Coeur
d'Alene troubles, much excitement
prevails In many parts of the state, as

The news of the tcixthle death of
Mr. Steum-nberg wjm? received in Pen
dleton with keen regret and sorrow,
owing to the large number of former
Idaho people residing here.
W. s. l'adley, of the Commercial
National bank, was un especially close

governor and was one of the first
men Mr. Steunenberg met after his
arrival from Iowa In the west, in the
early eighties,

was blamed for the alleged Injustice
and severity of (lie Coeur d'Abmes.
that he conscientiously enforced th
laws of the state as he undcrstoi:
them and was not severe nor unjust
lo the miners through maliciousness.
Sleunenberg was himself a union man
a member of the Typographical unlm
nnd a loyal friend of unionism, but
he had taken an oath to uphold the
laws of his state and when the miners
engaged In rioting and murder, he
put forth his utmost effort to sup

result of the federal authority was the

While Sleunenberg was, blamed for
the "bull-pen" yet he had exhausted
every means of bringing nbout peace
between the striking miners nnd the
companies before asking for federal
troops.
Steunenberg was a democrat, hav

The corporation tax law of Oregon
Is weeding out the "wild-cat" com
panies organized purely for specula
tive purposes and is giving a stability
and permanency tu the business cir
cles of the state not enjoyed before
this law went into effect.
Secretary of State Dunbar has de
livered to c.overnor Chamberlain a
list of over 5000 corporations that
have not compiled with the provisions
of the eorpiiratlon tax law, and the
governor will soon Issue a proclama
tion dissolving these concerns. Most
of the companies in the list have al
ready gone out of existence for all
practical purposes.
Perhaps a few still hold property
or huve business interests of such
nature that the managers have not
thought It worth while to pay the II
cense taxes and preserve the corpor
ate powers, but the large majority
are already defunct.
The principal object In proclaiming
these corporations dissolved Is to clear
the records so thut It can be easily de
termined what companies are author
Ized to transact business and which,
are not. The act requiring this ac
tion to be taken was passed by the
last legislature.
Corporations which are dissolved by
this proclamation, but which are still
doing business, may recover their le
gal standing by paying delinquent
fees with Interest. The list of com
panies dissolved will be published
within a few days.
Eleven new companies filed artl
cles of incorporation during the past
week.
