MEgKiawrag , . ar a . : rcre-i MITCHELL IS DEAD Oregon's Aged Senator Away Suddenly. Passes SfcNATE IS PUZZLED, DEATH DUE TO For More Than 40 Years a Leading Figure In Doth Oregon and National Politics. Portland, Doc. 8. United States Senator John II. Mitchell died in Good Samaritan hospital early this morning, following a furious hemorrhage of the gums which began yeste day and which the doctors wero unable to check. Excessive loss of blood resulting from the lots of four tcetli yesterday morn ing tnado it necessary that Senator Mitchell bo removed to Good Samaritan hospital. He sank rapidly. The flow of blood was not continuously heavy, but camo at intervals. The senator grew weaker after each hemorrhage. Finnllv it was decided to uso trans fusion, the injection of a saline solu tion into the veins in order to furnish more fluid fo the system and to stimu late circulation. Temporary relief was obtained in that way and the patient was apparently improved in condition for a brief tlmo. For some time Senator Mitchell has been a sufferer from diabetic trouble, and this, together with the severe mental strain which has been upon him for months past, have weakened his vitality and rendered his system exceedingly 'susceptible to any tax which is put uiion it. His blood, too, has become thin and impoverished, so that it does not coagulate as that of a person in normal condition. To these facts is duo the persistency of the hemorrhage and the inability of the physicians to stop the loss of blood by the nsual means. John II. Mitchell was born Juno 22, 1835, at Butler, Pennsylvania. At the tlmo of his death he was 70 years, 6 months and 0 days. For more than 45 years he has been a resident of Port land. For more than 40 years he has been a leading figure in Oregon and national politics. Oregon has known no other political character that occupied a prominent position in state affairs so long, nor who has been identified with the state's development in such a measure. No public enterprise since the year I860 in behalf of the state has been without his aid. Knows Not How to Act on Doath of Senator Mitchell. Washington, Doc 0. It is yet to ho determined whether tho senate will pixy the same tribute to tho memory of Son ator Mitchell that hna boon paid to every other enator who died In olllco. Mitchell's death raises n vorv nonilox- IIFUnRRHAfiP iuK probloiu, which tho senate Itself lILlnUIUUmUL, , ,... Inrlm.lUl nnl.ilm. stances never before recorded in tho history of tho senate There is no pre cedent to follow, and whatever action is taken must form n precedent which will stand for nil time. It has been tho custom, when any senator meet in ottlco, lor tho vlco pres ident to appoint a committee to attend the funeral as representatives of tho senate, it has boon customary for the sennto, at its first meeting following the death, to immediately adjourn out of respect, and it has been customary for tne senate, nt some subsequent date, to hold eulogies, giving other senators an opportunity to pay tribute to tho mem ory of their deceased colleague. It is a fact that there has been most profound sympathy on tho part of his colleagues, and frequent expressions of regret have been heard since misfor tune overtook him. Hut some senators who sympathized with him deeply are among those who question whether the senate, under tho circumstances, should strictly adhere to custom and pay i no same respect to tils memory aa to others who died in goood standing in the senato and before tho country. For nil his misfortunes, Mitchell had many friends in the senate, men who deeply mourn his loss. '' i i . .. OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST JACKSON TO FRONT. Stands as Second County In Oregon In Assostod Woalth. Salem Jackson county has sprung to Bccoud place among tho counties of Oregon In taxable weaKh. Marlon county, which has for many years occu pied second place, has dropped to fifth place, and perhaps lower. Not all the assessment returns have been received yet, but It is already nppiuent that at least three counties have stopped above Marion In assessed valuation. Multnomah county, of course, Is still tlrst, Iter assessment for lUOrt not yet being definitely known. Jackson will come second with n valuation of over $12,000,000 Washington probably third with $10,000,000. Umatilla nrob- ably fourth with $10,105,000, and Ma rion probably tilth with $0,824,000. There are a number of wealthy counties yet to rcort, nmong theiu being Ijuio, Linn and Clackamas, any of which may surpass Marlon and put that county still further down tho list. Jackson county'B assessment this year shows an increase of about 200 per cent for last year the assessment was only $1,050,000. HALF AN APOLOGY. PROVIDES FOR CANAL. House Appropriates $11,000,000 for Immediate Use. Washington, Dec. 8. -An appropria tion of $11,000,000 was voted to the Panama canal by the house yesterday. The amount was a compromise between the $16,500,000 carried in the bill under consideration and an estimate of some thing over $6,000,000 recommended by Williams. This was the only business transacted by tho house, and at 3:35 adjournment was taken until Monday. Washington, Dec. 8. -The subject of campaign contributions by insurance companies occupied the major portion of the time of the senate yesterday. It came up in connection with Tillman's resolution calling for an investigation of national banks' aid in politics, and was exploited by the South Carolina senator in a speech of some length. The address dealt with the president's recommendations for the punishment of bribery in elections; with Senator riatt's testimony before the New York investigating committee and various pertinent matters. It was couched in characteristic language, and attracted much attention. Tho resolution direct ing the a'cretary of the treasury to re port whether the reports of the national bank examiners show that the banks have made campaign contributions in recent years was adopted at tho clote of Tillman's remarks. At 2:18 the senate adjourned until Monday, Try to Check Emigration. Dublin. Dec. 8. The Catholic Bish ops of Ireland are making another at tempt to stem the tide of Irish emigra tion. A circular signed by Cardinal Logue and Bishop Sheehan, of the dio cese of Waterford, has been ordered read in the churches throughout Ire land, warning the younger generation of the evils of emigration, apnealing to the people not to be lured by the enticements held forth in letters from the United States and especially dan gers that beset the path of girls emi grating to that country. Taft Discusses Quarrel With Ex-Chief Engineer Wallace. Washington, D C, Dec. 0. Secre tary of War Taft in his annual report presented to President Roosevelt today makes a tentative apology to ox-Chief Engineer Wallace for any injustice he might have done him in trie indignant remarks he made at the tlmo Mr. Wal laco resigned from the Canal commis sion, having received an offer of more than double the salary tho government was paying him to come back to this country. Mr. Wallace had been only six days at Panama when he resigned, ms Secretary Taft says, greatly embar rassing tho commission in forcing it to find another man to take his idare Tho secretary of war spoke hotly at the time, accusing .Mr. Wal laco of being "so subject to pecuniary motives that I did not think his continuing his re lations with the commission would be of any service to us." Since that time, it seems. Mr. Wal lace has further explained his motives for resigning in such an untimely man ner, but obviously in no satisfactory way to Mr. Taft, however. NO DELAY ON KLAMATH.

A statement was issued by the appropriations com mittee of the senate and house today summarizing the estimates for appro priations to be made at the present see sion of congress for the fiscal year 1007.

The two largest increases are asked by the navy, $21,220,038. and the PoBt- office department, $12,187,070. Bids Will Soon Be Called for on Two Moro Sections of Ditch. Klamath Falls Uuolllcial announce ment comes from tho olficlals of the Reclamation service heru that tho gov ernment is not going to cause any de lay in completing tho great Irrigation project for Klamath basin.

Now the announcement that bids will bo called for immediately after tho opening of the bids for the first section for two more sections of ditch is evidence that Uncle Sam ex pects to lose no time in completing this great irrigation project. Just as soon as the other bids are opened bids will be called for these two second section. and work will be commenced on them early In the Bpring. GRAZING PERMfTS ISSUED.
