seat located in the c -r ter of a

things lively during tha last session ',
d.v of which he attended.
'One of tho first congressmen I
nut, said Mr. jlawley "was rep
resentative Gardner of Massachu
setts. Ho was the spokesman on
ostal matters pertaining to rural
routes and deliveries and 1 made it
a point to tell him in detail Ore-
gon a needs in tins line, u was
through him that tho salaries of
the rural carriers to this and ether
states were given a substantial
raise. "
Mr. Hawley sail that all through
the halls ot congress the sentiment
is in favor of open highways in the
interior as a means ot regulating
rates. -'The Willamette liver, in
consequence, ne. adil' it, is tils
cussed quite fnely, and I believe
that it is only a question of time
betoro tho government will gain
control of this river.
'Legislation to this end will
likely be passed during the next
session, the government co-epe rat
ing with the state in securing t
Oregon an unhampered water
course in this stroani.
"I find, too, that there is discus
sion aud much sentiment in tavor
of improvements to Coos bay and
tho harbors of Oregon. Aud right
here I want to say that in Represen
tative Wesley L. Jones, of Wash
ington, this state has a true and
staunch friend. He is on tho rivers
and harbors committee aud he
works just as earnestly in tho in
terests of Oregon as he does for his
own state.
"Taking it altogether I found
that there is u growing admiration
for the Oregou country and tho
gigantic strides wo aro taking out
here. The house especially is alive
to the needs of the Pacific north
west, and I am convinced that Ore
gon will profit largely and well by
the right kind of legislation when
congress meets again."
Asked regarding the Southern
Pacific land grant, which was oi.e
of the objects of his visit to Wash
ington at this time, Mr. Hawley
said ho had oppoitnnity while there
to get tho attention of officials in

apparatus for thawing powder that
is known. The above out is from
a photo of a powder thawer invent
ed by Mr. J. S. Brund after losing
his companion. United States patent
papers have been granteu and with
Geo. Atkinson and V. J. Brund,
Mr. Brund has formed a company
tor the manufacture aud sale of
them. Mr. Atkinson will be sales
agent and go on the road as boou
as a supply cau be manufactured.
To the mining man, little uoeds
to be said in explanation of the
oven. It is so simple and its ad
vantage plainly seen over oihar
thaws on the market. The powder
is far flora the fire aud no possible
chance for explosion Ly contact
with llame or over heat. The
sweating of the powder is avoided,
the heat being dry instead of hot
water which is often used; The
first machine will bs sent to the
Vesuvius in Bohemia, others h ive
been ordered for the Oregon-Colo-,
rado and Riverside mines.
