Jail There was a meeting of the city council Mondav evening. There was a full board of couuciluaen present with the exception of Quaid, with Mayor Gilliam in the chair. A petition for a rural telephone franchise was referred to the com mittee on franchises. The com mittee reported favorable on the granting of a franchise. The com mittee also recommended the en couragement of all rural tele phones to come into the Aty, for the reason that these lines are a great oonyeoience for both town and oountry people. The bid for the building of a city jail were taken under con sideration, G. H. Cox having the lowest and best bid was awarded the contract for building the new jail. Mr. Cox's bid was $288.20. The contract for making the iron doors for the jail was divided Klein & Ashbaugh were given the contract for making the out side doors and W. P. Ssrivener was awarded the contract for making two inside doors. that day came the Senate overwhelm ingly adopted the Forake? amendment which killed the Beveridge bill. It was the first opportunity the Senate had had to pay off an old score, and it did it handsomely under the leadership of the Senator from Ohio. PAYS Oil OLD GRUDGE. Punishes Bererldg-e for Pushing Himself forward. Cold-Moraite mutton. "In all proabil ty, n a few years Oregonians will be eating cold-storage mutton fro n Australia, instead of the mutton from tin Oregon ranges," said Charles H. (ireen, an ex'en6ive wool buyer for the firm of J. Koshland& Co., commission merchants, of Boston, Mass., who is in Ponhnd. "Although outside of the range difficulties the eheep in 'ustry was never better, owing to high prices for both wool and mutton. the constantly decreasing rarge in this fctaie, witli big irrigation works reclaim ing more and mote of the semi-dpsert so favorable to sheep-raising, and the thotting of the flocks out of the moun tain reserves are all bound to work for the decreasing of Oregon's eheep While the wool produced here has re mained the same f ir the past two yea's, it will undoubtedly fall off if the forest reserve policy is continued, and with tbe rapid increase in the population and the demand for mutton in tbe North wett, thj m st feasible point of supply in Au'tialia, where conditions are fdvorab e for Iarg) & cks and where the figures of wool production a'e so enor mous that one can hardly credit them. The lacd is let about worthless enough to discourage settlement, throughout a large part of the country, and to furnish just the sort of territory where sheep do test. California butchers now bring muttoa from outside the state, and Ore gon wi'l toon he in a similar position. ''The wool market is hardly what it wa when the market closed last rear, although there is a good steady demand, iiowers ideas are very high, and deal ers bardly feel like meeting them. Growers want the same prices this fceason as the market closed at last year, when 20 and 22 cents was paid, which f-howed bat little profit to the buyers. In fact, seine lost money, and are not disposed to pay as much now. Ore goniaa. Little tgypt In nanlla. Man'la. March 19.

Chicago, March 7 For a number of hours today Chicago was covered with a poll of smoke which, coupled with heavy clouds, made the day as dark as night. At 10.30 o'clock in the morning all the stores and offices in tbe business rection were hghtea as they are at 6 o vloi k on a day in midwinter. Street-cars ran with their headlights burning and all lights turned on. At times it was impossible to see a half square along the street, and the big down-town buildings were discernible only by the lights that filled them. The dtrkness was the cause of much trouble and delay in the streets, and collisions were nomeroua. The darkness brought business in the stocky arts to a complete standstill for some time. About 10 o'clock it became so dark that tbe cittlemeo at the jftrda were unable to distinguish their cattle from othe-s. Professor Cox, of the Weather Bireau said the darkness was due to haze from the lake, clouds and smoke, which the absence of wind had allowed to gather thlcklv in the atmosphere. Will Teat Mock Law. Pendleton, Or., March 8 At the re quest of the sheepmen of Umatilla couiity, Distriot Attorney Phelps lias commenced an appeal to the Supreme Court to test fully the lagaLty of the migratory stock law, recently declared unconstitutional by Judge Ellis. The law was passed at t'e last session of the Legislature, and imposes a tax of 20 ceuts a head on nil sheep brought into the state for grazing purposes. Last Spring a suit was brought by W. P. Reser, of Wall.t Walla, to recover $20 tax, on the ground that tbe law was un constitutional. While there is little hope of having the decision reversed, the ehrepmen desire to be fully pre pared for a new law at the next Leg islature, provided their appeal fails. MA It HIED.

March 18 The United States Senate has an nnwritten rule that requires eve-y new Senator to con duct bimeelf modestly and unobtru sively during the first years of his term. He must not force himself into the lime light; he must not attempt to assume leadership at the start; he roust ejt quietly bv while others manage tbe affairs of the Senate ; he himself must be a mere onlooker and a follower. He is privileged to advocate legislation of local interest to his state, but he is not p-ivileged to jump in and shape legisla tion of a National character. This unwritten rule is just as sacred to the Senate as any rule that has been formally adopted by vote, and the Sen ator who allows his ambition to get the better of his judgment and attempts to assume an important position in the Senate during the first years of his term may safely expect, sooner or later, to feel the displeasure of his older col leagues. The m'lls of the Senate some times grind slowly, but they are effective. No btter demonstration of this fact has ever been laid bare before the people than the recent rebuke and de teat of Senator Beveridge, when he a'- tempted to secure the passage of the joint statehoid bill fts it came over from the House. He came to the Senate in 1899. In Indiana he was recognized as one oi trie brightest speakers in the state; he was also credite 1 with b ing a man of very great ability in many lines. Flushed by his successful campaign before the Indiana Legislature, he came to Washington and, without waiting to feel bis way, at "nee inj.-cted hiras'lf in to the very midst of things in the Senate. He had hardly taken his seat before he began to speak on every im portant occasion. The Senate realized at once that Mr. Beveiidge was a man of more than ordinary attainments; it recognized in him a fluent and ready speaker snd perhaps a good campaigner; it may have seen much to approve in the sentiments he uttered, but for all that the Sentte did not like his manner. He bad transgressed that unwritten rule, and as a first rebuke he usually spoke to aq empty Seuate. though to weli-fllled galleries. flut Mr. BeVeridge either ignored the insult or else did not understand. He c ntinued to speak whenever any topic of general importance was before tbe Senate. Every speech be made did him injury. At the end of two years, a turn of the wheel of fortune made bim chairman of the committee on terri tories, and as its chairman he becama the manager of the statehood bill, up to that time a dead issue, w ith his char acteristic vi i sod determination be re vived tbe bill, reported it to the Senate, and started to force ita passage. He bad it made the unfinished business in course of time, but it became the "buffer" used by older Senators to kill more objectionable legislation, aod Mr. Beveridge was not permitted to get a vote. It was the same in the next Con gress and, while there were volumes of talk on statehood, there wai no vote. When the prevent Congress convened Mr. Beveridge announced that tbe joint statehood bill (somewhat different from tbe original bill, bat providing for two states) would be parsed before the Holi days. Tbe House passed tbe two-state bill, Mr. Beveridge reported it to tbe Senate, and then began bis fight, bat be was beaten from the start.
