cett, of this city, was recalled Tues
day in one of the most hotly contested
municipal elections ever held in this
city. W. W. Seymour is the new
mavor elect
The election was the second mayor

to Alaska for work in the Alaska
Packers' association canneries. Un
der charter to the Alaska Packers' as
sociation, the senator sailed from this

that the deadlock on the United States

that the present session of the legis

ing a successor to the late Senator C.
T Hno-hps Jr. The action of the re
convened Pueblo Democratic county
convention, in remstructing tne ru
Mn legislative delegation for ex-
Governor Alva Adams, and opposing
further caucuses, has destroyed, it is
believed, all chances for an election
at this session.

those struggling in the water. Cap
tain Sears will be arraigned Thursday.

Portland Rose '.Festival Pageant W.ll
Break All Records.
Portland The novel street spec
tacle called the "Shower of Roses"
which is to be a part of the next Port
land Rose Festival in the week of
June 5-10, will cover more than 50
city blocks or nearly three miles in
the central business district of the
city. While the train of six cars is
moving through the main thorough
fares, the 100 young women and girls
in white will keep up a continuous
bombardment of roses, showering
them upon spectators along the way.
Specially adapted cars will be used in
this train so that the thrilling spec
tacle can better be observed from .the
street. Heretofore closed cars have
been used and the fair rose throwers
have labored under a handicap and
part of the beauty of the spectacle
has been lost
Olcott Assumes His Duties.
Salem Ben W. Olcott was sworn in
Monday morning as secretary of state
to succeed Frank W. Benson and
shortly afterward took charge of the
office. At noon the first full board
meeting of the new administration
was held, when Governor West, State
Treasurer Kay and Secretary Olcott
met to consider minor details of the
plan Governor West has been father
ing in using the labor at the state in
stitutions. '
"1 will devote my time to learning
the details of the office and not to hir
ing or discharging employes," said
Secretary Olcott. "Whether changes
will come in the future is for future
to say as at present I am endeavoring
to learn the business of the office.
"Now that Ihave received the ap
pointment I desire to confirm the re
port that the state board will work in
harmony so far as I am concerned.
I view the state of Oregon as a large
business proposition. If private busi
ness cannot be conducted successfully
where harmony does not exist, no
more can public business"

O. A, C. to Solvt Problem of Con

Corvalli. Ore. The solution of the
problem of making the timber land of
the Ut continuously remunerative,
which alo mean the prenervalion of
the water power, seems at prvaont to
hav been found by the Oregon Agri
cultural collfga. When the work in
forestry wa separated from that In
botany and made distinct department
under Prof. George W. l'eavy and K.
(). Siecke, of the U. 8. government
forest service wa added to the fac
ulty, the facilities for instruction and
for practical work by the students
wer Kft'y increased, and.Jfsome im
mensely valuable experimental work
in ailvU-ulture ha since been started
on Mary'a wak and elsewhere.
A small forest nursery has been
darted on the rampu at the south of
the horticultural greenhouses, where

On Mary's JHak valuable experi

Experimental plots huve been sown,
both fall and spring, to Austrian pine,

to obtain information which will prove
which is preferable for the different

SMUDGE POTS SAVE FRUIT.
Temperature Sinks to 25 Little Lost
Over Northwest.
Medford General firing throughout
the orchards of the Rogue River valley
is saving this year's fruit crop from
the ravagss of Jack Frost. In places
the temperature has been as low as 20
degrees, but for a "short tims only.
The orchard men are still on the look
out for frost and fuel in the smudging
pots is kept replenished.
Milton No frost hss harmed this
section at any time this season. Fruit
prospects are fine.
La Grande Thanks to a drop in the
temperature several days ago, no harm
whatever has been done to orchards by
the recent storm; in fact, orchard
men agree that it has helped to retard
the budding. At this time the trees
have not reached a stage of develop
ment that frosts will injure. A can
vass of the fruit districts of the valley
reveals confidence for a big crop.
SHEEPMEN ASKED TO PROTEST
Dan Symthe Says Change In Sched
ule K May Ruin Them.
Pendleton Dan P. Smythe, secre
tary of the Oregon Woolgrowers as
sociation, is sending letters and night
letter blanks to 1,000 sheep men
throughout the Northwest, urging
them to telegraph immediately to
Senators Bourne and Chamberlain,
protesting against any change in tariff
schedule, and asking that the question
of revision of the wool tariff not be
considered until at least after tariff
commission reports.
He insists that Western wool grow
ers realize their responsibility and
awake to the realization that any re
duction in this tariff will mean great
damage to the industry.
He urges also that the sheepmen be
prepared when the tariff commission
calls upon them within the next few
weeks to furnish data on the exact ex
pense of running their sheep and the
amount of proceeds they receive from
the sale of sheep and wool, showing
that only a fair profit is made under
present conditions.
Record Price tor Livestock.
Portland last Friday paid the record
price for cattle of all descriptions.
For fancy grain-fed stock from La
Grande $7 per hundred pounds was se
cured, while a lot of hay-fed stock
from Central Oregon went at $6.90.
These transactions were the highest
prices ever received in this market for
this time of the year. The hay-fed
lot was the first shipment to come out
of Central Oregon over the new Harri-
man line. It was sent from Gateway.
Excursion to Ruse Festivel.

train will be run over the Northern
Pacific and North Bank roads, arriv
