That John M. Gearin, who for the
past year has been United States sen
ator by appointment, from Oregon,
is the right kind of stuff for a sena
tor, and that his able and straightfor
ward conduct in that office has ex
cited the admiration of his political
opponents. Is shown by the following
complimentary notice irom the Port
land Oregonlan:
John M. Gearin, whose shoulders a
senatorial toga graced for 13 months,
has returned home and will from this
time on indulge in the quiet pursuits
of peace, says the Portland paper.

He has had enough of politics, of di
plomacy and state craft, enough of
battling against an Impregnable po
litical majority, but is thoroughly
satisfied with the fruits of his sena
torial labors.
Mr. Gearin regards the upper house
of the national legislature as the
greatest parliamentary body In the
world, repudiates the oft-repeated
charges that It 1s a rich man's club,
that its deliberations are directed,
controlled by and subjected to the
whims of trust-owned hirelings. He
says that Senator-elect Jonathan
Bourne has already created a deep
Impression at Washington, and Is
bound to make Ms Influence felt on
behalf of the state of Oregon before
he has been In the halls of congress
many months.
Mr. Gearin yawns with weariness
when his name Is mentioned In con
nection with any political honors that
may come his way In the future, and
reminds the interviewer of the fact
that honors were thrust upon him en
tirely unsought, entirely unexpected
and that the worm of ambition Is not
gnawing him.
The year that Mr. Gearin has spent
in Washington has had its effect upon
him. He attacks questions In which
the commercial and industrial Inter
ests of Oregon are vitally concerned
with a careful thoughtfulness that
shows he has given the best there Is
in him in his efforts to solve them
with the limited opportunities he has.
had.
He is deeply Impressed with the
fact that Oregon can gain much at
the hands of congress if the men she
sends to Washington labor earnestly
and faithfully in her behalf.
He admits that he has not been
able to accomplish a great deal be
cause he went to the national capital
a representative of the minority par
ty, but he says he was at all times
given distinguished consideration
whenever he made an appeal In behalf
of the Beaver state.
Former Student Has Leaed Section
of Reservation Land.
George Strand, former high school
student and athlete, has leased a sec
tion of Indian land on the reservation
and will commence farming the same
at once. The land secured is the Ta-
kipsle section, which lies about three
miles southeast of the Presbyterian
mission, and has been farmed for
many years past by Charles Hamilton.
It Is said to be excellent farming
land.
Mr. Strand has already secured an
outfit, and during the coming spring
will seed 160 acres and plow the re
maining 480. He Is being backed by
his uncle, John Bahr of Fulton, and
his friends prophesy that he will suc

The man for whom Condon, Gil
liam county, Ore., was named, the
man who discovered and exploited the
rich fossil fields in central Oregon,
and who has given the world more
light upon the geological history of
Oregon than any other. Professor
Thomas Condon, Is dead.
For 40 years Professor Condon has
devbted his energies to a study of the
prehistoric life of Oregon. Some of
the most remarkable geological speci
mens In existence have been uncov
ered In central Oregon through his
tireless efforts and through his direc
tion. In his book on the geology of the
Pacific coast he paints a fascinating
picture while telling a scientific story
and through this book has aroused a
deep Interest in the scientific phases
of this state.
A special from Eugene says of his
death:
Dr. Thomas Condon, Oregon's ven
erable geologist, died this morning at
10 o'clock at the home of Mrs. H. F.
McCornack. two miles southwest of
Eugene. Dr. Condon met with an
attack of the grip about three weeks
ago, and this, In connection with his
age, 84 years, made recovery doubt
ful. It was given out today that his
death was due to senile exhaustion.
At the bedside were his daughters.
Mrs. H. F. McCornack and Mrs. R.
S. Bean of Eugene, and Mrs. F. C.
Wolf of Seattle. Herbert T. Condon
of Seattle, and S. W. Condon of Los
Angeles, have 'been notified.
The frail figure of the geologist IB
familiar to every student, and his
death has occasioned profound re
gret. The literary societies, the Y.
M. C. A. nnd other student organiza
tions, held Informal meetings tonight
to arrange for flowers and other
tokens of respect.
Dr. Condon was born In the south
of Ireland March 3, 1823. and landed
In New York at an early age. He
came to Oregon In 1862, and for many
years was located as a Congregational
missionary at The Dalles, from which
point he made many excursions to
the John Day country In search of
prehistoric fossils. In his collection,
gathered In eastern Oregon, are many
rare specimens.
Before coming to the University of
Oregon to accept the chair of geology,
he was professor at Pacific university
for two years. Since 1878 he con
ducted courses In geology at the Uni
versity of Oregon, and only gave up
his labors three years ago.
Professor Condon was one of the
recognized geologists of national
note, and gave particular attention to
the geology of Oregon In his book,
The Two Islands."
Smallpox In Soldiers' Home.
Dr. E. E. Maxey, physician for the
soldiers' home, yesterday placed the
main building of the home under
smallpox quarantine, having discov
ered two old veterans with well de
veloped cases of smallpox, says the
Boise Statesman. They are Si. D.
Edwards and Robert Wilson. Count
ing the help In the main building, Dr,
Maxey yesterday vaccinated 130 peo
ple at the home. He says there are
several others among the old soldiers
who are showing symptoms of small
pox and It is probable there will be
many more cases before long, as prnc
tlcally all at the home were exposed.

How the Typographical Union Hns
Financed Its Contest.
The great strike In the book and
Job printing IndURtry, in which the
International Typographical Union of
North America and the United Ty
pothetae of America have been pitted
against each other for 18 months, has
attracted considerable attention to
trade union methods and the history
of trade organizations.
The International Typographical
union was formed In 1862, and has
had a successful and progressive exist
ence since that time. Previous to
1852 there were many local associa
tions or unions of printers, and a con
vention of these local associations
was held as enrly as 1834.
The International Typographical
union is recognized as a conservative
organization, nnd this Is borne out by
the effort that was mnde by the offi
cers of the union to peaceably adjust
the eight-hour contention with the
employers before the strike was en
tered Into. This strike has been a
marvel of financiering.
The International Typographical
union has a membership of about
47,000, and. with the exception of
about $50.0"". t"er- 47.000 members
have raised "-v -r-:ent more than
$3,000,000 for the conduct of their
strike for the eight-hour day. The
assessment was at first B0 cents per
Pig nnd Chickens Held by Storms.
Agent A. B. Steel, of the Pacific
Express company in this city, has
been engaged in the poultry and hog
business on a small scale during the
tleup of traffic on the Walla Walla
branch of the O. R. & N. About the
time the washouts occurred on the
branch line Mr. Steel received a fine
pig consigned from Illinois to Weston
and two coops of chickens consigned
to Dayton. Owing to the failure of
trains to run on the brnnch the pig
and poultry have been heid at the ex
pense of the company In this city.
Raised $11.70 for Schools.
A successful school entertainment
was held at Alba Monday evening, In
which 114.70 was raised for the ben
efit of the schools. The entertain
ment consisted of magic lantern ex
hibition, phonograph and literary
exercises, and was highly enjoyed.
The school house was filled and the
event was a success, financially and
socially.
Valuable. Dog Poisoned.
P 'luable En?l'h setter bitch be
longing to A. B. Steel, agent for the
Pacific Express company, was poi
soned yesterday by some unknown
party. The bitch was well bred and
highly prized by the owner, and every
effort will be made to find the poi
soner. Mr. Steel lives on South Thomp
son street, near the high school building.

earned. The. 10 per cent assessment
was effective for nine months. It
was then reduced to 7 per cent, later
to 6 per cent, and Is now S per cent.
The method of levying the assess
ment Is also worthy of explanation.
It was not placed by a convention,
nor by the officers of the organiza
tion. The proposition was submitted
to a referendum vote. Tho proposal
to levy 50 cents per week received a
majority of nearly 20.000 votes, and '
the proposal to levy a 10 per cent as
sessment received a majority of more
than 18,000 votes.
