Washington, D. C, March 15.
The adjournment of congress has
quieted the political atmosphere a
little, but not entirely. The work
of co'ngress was very swift towards
the last. It required very remark
able qualities for any man to suc
ceed in carrying through measures
that were not in perfect shape and
form. That Senator MoBride did
so was considered by his brother
senators and all congressmen as
proof that he possessed good pluck
and wonderful finesse. It is very
satisfactory to me, as an 'Oregon
ian, to be able to say that our two
senators were heartily in sympathy
in accomplishment of all that was
possible for ' our state. Senator
Simon only needs time and oppor
tunity to make himself respeoted
and popular. The senate of the
United States, as Senator McBride
says, is a place where men are ap.
preciated for what they are capable
of performing and for their ability
and true qualities. The great men
of the senate as Hoar and Hale
and others who rise above mere
policy, are noted for performing
their duty as their conscience shal
1 j i rrs s
aiciaie. iney may be errmg m
popular estimation, but no man
dare couple their names with any
suggestion of personal motives or
outside pressure. They are men
in the broadest sense of the word,
It is comfortable to believe that
Oregon has been represented, in
the past, by men who command the
respect of the world. Differing
from some of them in material de.
gree, it has been cause of congrat
ulation that our delegations have
been men who had the respect of
their colleagues and had influence;
more influence, often, than was
shown by representatives of older
states.
The close of the 55th congress
will excuse my reference to the Or
egon actors in that congress. Sen
ator McBride has not posed as an
orator, but has well expressed him
self when it has been necessary.
His succesH in forwarding the in
terests of our state is apparent to
any unprejudiced onlooker. His
achievements at the close of the
session will remain a feature of
Oregon history. To have made
friends and command their respect
and support, because they had con
fidence in bis sincerity and good
judgment that was a triumph to
be proud of. To be able to com
mand the approval of the entire
senate, that the rules could be sus
pended by -unanimous consent
when an important appropriation
was pending that was sure proof
that our senator had the friendship
of bis colleagues. It is more im
portant for our state that its dele
gation shall be able to accomplish
results than that they shall figure
in forensic displays.
Mr. Ellis retires from congress
with the respect and good will of
all. To be plain about it. mv mind
was in some measure prejudiced
against him when I came here, a
year or so ego. He had been dis
paraged so by leading influences
that one would naturallv believe
bis accuser h. On becoming ac
quainted with Affairs here it needed
little time to discover that Mr. Ellis
was generally respected and was
successful in his work for Oregon.
His successor will be fortunate if
he holds so greatly the respect and
regard of the next congress. The
Moody name has made itself felt
can afford, to be more and more
useful to Oregon. Anyone who
supposes that a congressional ca.
reer is only a May-time picnio, can
be relieved of that impression by
beooming an onlooker here at the
national city for a tingle term
ne it senator or congressman, the
duty has become a fearful burden
It seems day and night of toil and
weariness ' to properly discharge
the duty of ' every recurring hour.
Every mail brings its quota of toil
added to toil. The - demands are
incessant and continuous. The
average member of sooiety consid
ers his congressman able to ac
complish anything' htimau conceit
can conceive of. The fact is, that
there are thousands and tens of
thousands who wait for something
to turn up in their favor. Just at
present there are many expecting
employment in the work of the
new census. A man of prominenoe
told me yesterday that there were
probably 20,000 persons who were
competent and had filled govern
ment positions who were waiting in
this oity hoping " to receive some
opportunity. This is a time when
hope deferred will make many
hearts sick.
The' last few days we have tones
of spring as successor to the fear
ful blizzards that tormented the
earlier days of March. The win
ter has been fearful;' there nave
been, one after another, sad storms
and fearful blizzards. I have a
picture of my hotel home, that
shows snow piled up over six feet
high where there was a path cut
from the door to the sidewalk. But
there needs only a few days of the
spring time to call out the buds
from their hiding places; to turn
the sod to emerald and make the
flowers consider the nroDrietv of
bursting into bloom. Soon Wash
ington will be all aglow with de
light and full of ; the beauty that
nature can spread abroad. Bat 1
will leave that time until it comes.
It is to be regretted that the war
has left so muoh of the jealousy
and meanness of human nature ly
ing about. It crops out in . army
and navy affairs and in all the
walks of public life. One matter
that the public takes interest in is j
that General Wheeler is not to b
recognized in the reorganization of
the army. ' There is no more beau
tiful character in our recent his
tory than "Old Joe Wheeler." He
is wonderfully lovable; Something

There promises to be a decided oopper-

before the season is very far advanced.
A good many Fortlanders are inter

ticles of incorporation areO.H.Preeoott,
W. W. Catlid and F. M. Batohelor. -The
oapital stock is plaoed at 9100,000. The
mine is located on Prinoe of Wales
island, on Helm inlet. Supplies, tools
and maohinery have already been shipped
to further develop the property.
"We have a whole mountain of oop
per," said Mr. Batohelor, "that rises
2,500 feet above sea level. It oarriee
some gold and silver. I think we shall
have the most natural mine in the world.
Immense ledges are in fall view, and all
that needs be done is to knook the ore
down. Steamers can almost land along
side, and the harbor is landlocked."
That whole island is said to be streaked
with copper. D. Sol is Cohen and other
Porllanders have located, and Marcus
Daly has two experts examining prop
erty around there. Mr. Batohelor says
It would surprise one to know the num
ber of persons quietly acquiring good
copper properties in Southwestern Alas

in quest of gold. Owing to the vast
size of the ledges, their riobness and
easy transportation facilities, that seo-

United States Senator Joseph Simon Talks to
a Reporter.
East Oregonlan.
United States Senator Simon, who
passed through Pendleton last Saturday
from "lis labors at the United States
oapitol, is hopeful of material reforms in
the administrative affair s of Alaska, by
reason of the legislation of the last ses
sion. Alaska is to have a new oriminal
code, and a law sanctioning the license
system in the regulation of the liquor
traffic Much other legislation in behalf
of the northern territory was attempted.
bat failed.
1 "1 am lookingforward to some salutary
eifdots from the legislation effected in
behalf of Alaska," said Senator Simon to
a Portland Telegram reporter. "Alas
ka's criminal lawe have long been de
fective and entirely inadequate to the
needs of the territory.' The oode given
the territory by the bill passed is pat
terned after the Oregon oode, and the ad
ministration of its laws under this coda
should be muoh more effeotive.
"Another provision made for the terri
tory that is looked upon with satisfaction
is that relative to the licensing of the
liquor traffic With' good license laws
there is no question but that the traffij
will be better regulated and more effect
ively restricted, while at the same time
some revenue will be derived trom the
traffic for the support of the government.
The oorruption with whioh the adminis
trative affairs of Alaska for some years
have been tainted can in a large measure
be traced direotly to the difficulty in
handling the liquor trafflo under the pro
hibitory laws. The laws have been
openly and shamefully violated, even un
der the most stringent surveillance of
the officials. This abase the new law
should and doubtless will abate.
"In regard to the Anglo-American
commission appointed to arbitrate differ
ences and uncertainties that may exist
in reference to boundarv line disDntea
and other matters, I am not inclined to
look for any results. In my opinion,
nothing will come of their labors.
"An effort was made to eeoare a reduc
tion in the tariff on lambe'r and ooal. To
this, In behalf bt Oregon, I filed a vigor
ous protest. The representatives of the
other coast states, similarly interested.
took tho same stand, and I do not think
now that any soon turiff reductions as
were contemplated will ever be made."
Senator Sirnoa ie in the best of health,
and, although tired out a little from hard
work, has suffered no injurious effeots
from biB first experience in the legisla
tive balls of the nation. He will devote
the summer vacation of oongress to the
practice of law.
STATE BCIIOOL FUNDS.
Board's Bales Governing the Handllnir of
This Honey.
The last legislature passed a law re-
duoing the rate of interest to borrowers
of the atate school foods, to apply to all
new or renewed loans. The board has
adopted the following rales to govern the
loaning of the state money and intending
borrowers will do well to look tbem over
before making application:
"First No Bpplioation for a loan will
be considered for less than $250, nor for
a greater sum than 85,000, and in no case
for a greater sum then one-third of the
oash value of the security offered.
"Seoond That no attorney of the board
shall obarge any tee for the examination
of the title to land offered as security for
loan from the state, and make the pay
ment of the same contingent noon lha
pplioation for the loan being aooepted
by the board, nor shall the attorney in
any case oharge a commission upon tba
amount of the loan applied for or
granted.
"Tbird-That all obarges by any attor.
ney of the board for the examination of
the title to land offered as seouritv for
acb loans shall be a reasonable fee for
snob service, and the amount agreed on
mast be stated in the certificate.
"Fourth Abstract of title must be fur
nished by the applicant, and the same
ball be kept on file in the office of tba
attorney for the board, and by him
turned over to his saooessor.
"Fifth Whenever default ie made In
tba payment of the taxes properly
chargeable to any of the securities held
by the state land board, and the sam
as beoome delinquent, and certified to
by the proper offloers for oolleotion, aa
the law directs, it shall be the doty of
the olerk of this board, upon the ascer
tainment of the amount, to pay lha
same and charge it to the mortuaoor.
hereupon foreclosure proceedings shall
be instituted forthwith."
