Thursday, Fedruaky 14, 1901. The monotonous senatorial deadlock at Salein has furnlBhetl more Interesting feature this neck. Mcliride apparently realizing the iinprobahility of his eltc tion, withdrew and liii followers trans ferred their support to ueo 11. n imam. ir., . Av m two. On Tueflay'i ballot the Mcliride votea went to Hermann who received 29 voles, with 31! for Cor belt. The democratic vote is still given to Smith. Mitchell's name has not yet appeared as a candidate, but it is sus pected that he has deep id schemes for capturing the aenator'uil t"a In the taut hours of the voting. St. Valentine's day is the survival of au old heathen festival of ancient Koine, the Hupeicalia. It was the custom at this lestival for the young men to draw tablets, on which the names of maidens were inscribed, from boxes, alter the manner of a lottery Each youth tupposed to be lailhlul to the lady whose name lie drew, until the next succeeding Hupercalia. HI. Valentine was a prieHt who was uurtyred in the reign of Kmperor Claudius. When lie was canonized as a saint, February 14 wajjcel apart In his honor. When Koine was chribtianized, the heathen festivals were replaced as far as iniglit be, with religious celebrations and so the Hupercalia and St. Valentine's day became one Mid the same. II all the labor that hafheen thrown away and wasted by fixing ban roads to no purpose, in till county, lisd been expended in a manner tending to perma nent excellence, we would by this time have a system o( boulevards, com paratively speaking, all over thl county instead of Hie siiectacular affairs which now blast our sight, both in and out of town. The weathor lor the past few week has been conducive to the forma tion ot mud and the elements have re sponded with enthusiasm, therelore our roads are sight to behold. Uood mad cost but they pay. The wear and tear on ve hicles horseflesh alone would, the energy being expanded in a more Judicious way, build a lew tulles ol road esch year. Uood road are ag-. .its ol civilization and prosperity. Their worth is beyond computation a la also the calamity ol being deprived of them. Ht. Valentine' day had a heathen origin and .it has a most heathenish characteristic clinging to it, the custom of sending the so called "comic" valentine which aro no more comic or tunny than la a coarse insult nf any other kind. In fact, they are ol a lower order ot abu.ie than insults ol other varieties, as added to malice and venom, 'they have the additional feature of cowardice to make their depravity com plete. The United H talcs mails should be closed to them as they are tu other Indecent literature and every means should be used by which their disrepute mav be iienerallv comprehended. The eron whose evilly working mind tlrst first conceived them should he hailed as public malefactor. Every one who receives a missive ol this disreputable variety should have the strength of mind to cast the villainous thing into the stove without even unfolding it and ao defeat it purposes and designs. Representative Htory lias introduced In the house a hill c.iliblishing a mining bureau tor the State ol Oregon and creating the ollice ol commissioner ol mines. The bill has been reported favorably to the legislature by the com mittee on mine tn whom it was re let red. The passage ol the bill will be a recognition by the slate nf one ol its most iiiiKirtaul indiisliies and lollows the example set by California, Washing Ion and other states whose mining interests have been materially advanced by similar Institutions. The I'oiiiniis sioner of mini's is required to collect specimen lor study or reference, dish lie ute Insinuation, c'assify minerals, rep rt geological lormation ol various mineral districts, record metallurgical operations and labor saving devices a.id perform many other duties as his olliee may require. Ho is to lie appointed by Iho governor lol period of lour ear but uhji'ct to removal at any time for in comtH'tence or neglect of duty. The salary is llxed at til. fill per mouth and the principal nlllee is to be at l'oillainl Colonei Frank . Piake, a well known mining man says In regard to the bill: "The ell'ecl ol the bill, w lieu a law, w ill be recognition by the state, through legislative action, of a most iiiipoilatit source of wealth, a Held inviting enter Prise and capital.

The commissioner can apply for and obtain geological sur veys to be made by the geneial govern ment, and maps and reports will be li the government published and supplud to the people ol the United S ale, free ot expense." Council Mftlint,. The city council held their regular meeting on Thursday evening. The principal discussion was upon the advishility ot procuring a chemical engine tor Cr j protection.
