I (M) G OOPS fr50 1 THE REPUBLICAN R.ALLY. Republican Cs.ndlde.tea Gave a big Reception In Grants Ptxss le.at Saturday. Lost Saturday marked the opening of tho republican campaign In this rity, it being tho occasion of the vitit of W. J. Kurnith, republican candidate for governor, and a number of other diHtinguuthod politicians. Tha event was a success In every particular; the day wits clear and fine, and the streets were crowded with people, many being in from all parts of tho country to greet the Pendleton man. The campaign party, composed of Hon. V. J. Furnish, nomluee for gov ernor, J. II. Ackerman, nominee for superintendent of publto instruction, A. M. Crawford, nominee for attorney- general, J. J. Whitnev, nominee for state printer, and Hon. Chas. W. Ful ton, arrived on the delayed morning train from Med ford, nud were met at the depot by tho republican central committee and a number of enthusias tie citizens. At two o'clock In tho aftornoon, the Grants l'uss band appeared on the street and discoursed a number of in spiring airs while the crowd assembled at the opera house for the speaking. Standing room was at a premium In tho hull. The meeting was presided over by I'rof. w. II. Hampton. In answer to a call, a number of leading loettl republican politicians went for ward and took seats on the platform, W. J. Furnish was the first speaker introduced and tho appluuse was loud and long as he took the stand. Mr. Furnish stated that he was a plain, everyday business man. Ills work in the past has been that of an executive and not a political character. Hu said that he believed the state of Oregon to be a great business institution in which every voter is a partner and In which man shares, bis just portion, lie be lieves the voters of the state aro desir ous of electing a man for governor who will make a thorough business mana ger. Mr. Furnish said that if he were elected governor, and he felt confident that be would be, he would make his home lu Salem and devote all of his time and his best judgment toward managing the affairs of the state. Mr. Furnish heartily endorses tho national republican platform and will do all in his powor to advance the In Wrests It represents. Mr. Furnish also reviewed tho labor question and tpoke in favor of pensioning the Indian War Veterans. He heartily endorsed the administration of tho lute President HcKinU y and also that of Theodore Roosevelt. Superintendent J. II. Ackerman was wit Introduced and spoke of the pub lie school system. He mudo a pointed and well directed protest against the action of his opponent In making a plea for only reading, aM'lliiig, writing, and arithmetic in the public school course of study. The superintendent said that ho had not added to the school work; he had reduced it. He said that his opponent, like too many other people in this world, wants to take their children through the schools on flowery Map ihowinj location of thtWaahing ton Treadatll, on of th largett and richest ledmti in th St. Ileltnt dittrict, recently consolidated with th Galico grenp of hydraulic claims In thii county. These two properties in th two Wett mineralisvd sections of the weft form a combination that will nndoubudlf mtet with tuccrsi as development continues. The Gal ire creek country is too well known to our reader! to need a detailed account. A. B. Conrin, .Secretary of th Bt. Ilel tnt and (ialice Consolidated Mininf Co., has been operating a kydraulic ruin there for years, anj with the lat J. L. Atkinson ipent over ten thousand dollar in ditching aal tautppiuf th upper part ef th creek with hydraulic ma- ckioerr, anJ the obisct of tha company 1 ,. .ifTVli "'" M i y beds of ease. He said this was wrong. He believes In holding up hard work to the pupils as a noble and necessary virtue and he will continue to do so as long at he is superintendent. Hon. A. M. Crawford, of Roseburg, made a brief address, touching on the initiative and referendum and the Philippine question. He said that the Filipinos were pnjoying greater liber ties, and the Philippine Islands are in much better condition today, under American rule than they have ever been before, and he could see no good reason for releasing them. Chas W. Fulton, the "tall pine of the Columbia," was the principal speaker of the afternoon. The address of Mr. Fulton was eloquent throughout and was frequently interrupted by ap plause. He defended the action of Mr. Furnish in leaving the democratic ranks In 1896, and summed up the record of the republican party for the lust 42 years. A Good Work. The following letter from the Pacific Farmer It self explanatory and should receive attention : The Portland Board of Trade have decided to Issue an 100,000 addition of the Northwest Pacific Farmer which will bt made up altogether of reliable tgrl cnltuial and kindred Information to be tent to the thousands of eastern people who are inquiring along that line with expectationi of settling in the north west. We hope that jou will bring thit matter before your readert asking them to send ut information to that in getting np this large editiou the resources of all sections of tin northwest will be before ut for (incorporation in our article. Hoping that yonr section of the country and yourself are prospering, w are, Fraternally yourt, PAuiric Fahukb Co. Southern Oregon Coal. An Important event in the future de velopment of Southern Oregon transpired at the coal mint five miles att of Med ford, latt Friday, when lbs protectors opened a vein of coal of large dimensions and uf Arat-clasi quality. The Southern Pacific Company hat been prospecting in thit district for seve ral months, and itt efforts were reward ed by the ttrike of latt week. There is a tunnel running into the mountain a distance of 1500 feet, and the miners are now taking out coal that la suitable for almost all purpose!. The light machine ry that ii now used for prospecting will be replaced by heavy mining machinery and txtentive developments will be com menced at once. The coal that is being taken from the vein ii almost solid, with the exception of a email stratum of fire clay, which will form the only drawback, to its use .'or locomolivet. Tue tunnel rum on a lii-foot vein, and is directly over a five foot vein of the t ime quality of coal, making II feet of tolid coal which, when fully developed, will form an almost in exhaustible tupply fur the company's use. The coal is being uted in thS en gine! at the mine, and the firemen re port it tatisfaciory for stationary engine work. In case the coal provet of tulll ciently good quality for commercial pur poses, no time will be lost in putting it on the market.

The upheaval In the house of repre sentatives produced by tho over ruling of the chairman in tho committee of tho wholo whon the Cubun reciprocity bill was under consideration apiiears to have had a most salutary efTcct in that it has greatly expedited the trunca tion of routine business and, while none of tho great questions lioforo congress has been considered In tho house dur ing tho past week, a large amount of regular business hus been disposed of. On Tuesday tho military academy ap propriation bill wu! passed. This makes tho twelfth appropriation bill passed by the house this session, two of them havlug been urgent deficiency bills, and leaves but three more regu lar appropriation bills, ono of them the agricultural bill now under considera tion, to bo acted upon. The two re maining aro the District of Columbia bill and the naval bill. On Friday tho pension calender was taken up and was cleared with the passage of H5 bills. The naval appropriation bill which carries a total appropriation of f 76, 000,000, $2,000,000 less than last year la practically ready to lie reported and will be brought in at an early date. Tho district of Columbia bill Is being framed und will lie reported in tho near future. As soon us tho regular ap propriation bills aro ull paused the representatives will begin to talk of adjournment und strong prcssuro will be brought on the lonuto to hasten Its delllieratiotis to facilitate that end. On Saturday Representative Mercer, of Nebraska, reported the Omnibus pub lic building bill which carries a total appropriation of $1.1,900,000 und pro vides for public Improvements of more or lots cxtcmilro character in all but two states in the Union. Toduy the committee on rules will submit a special rule for its consideration and It Is not expocted that mora than a few hours will be required fur Its pusxugo. But nine appropriation bills have thus far passed In the senate. Tho week In tho senate has been practically devoted to consideration of the Philippine civil government bill and Senators Rawlins and Carmack have presented oxhuustive expositions of the democratic position in regard to the measure. In accordance with the expressed wish of Senator Lodgo, the republicans huvu so fur refrained from replying to democratic charges. Several important conferences have been huld by the republican senators and it has been determined to make an investigation of tho holdings of the sugur trust of Cubun sugnr, in accor dance with the resolution Introduced by Senator Teller. There is now little doubt but that the senate committee on relations with Cuba will report straight reciprocity bill und it will liavo to stand or fail on its merits Opinion among the senators of both parties it so divided us to tho outcome that It Is Impossible to make '.any un prejudiced prediction tit this writing, The Chinese exclusion bill Is now In cnuforeneo w Intro It wits returned by tho house ufter giving Instruction to Its conference nut to yield on cortuln points which will make tho lull more effective In its provisions.

Mr. nichurdi, a member of tho dele gation, stilted before a subcommittee of the committee on publlo lands, on Friday that there were but thlrty milliun cattle In the United 8tutos in cluding milch eows and that, wore thi-so duditctod from tho total, there would not bo left ono third of a carca for every man, woman and child in the country. Tho object of tho dele gation Is to socuru tho enactment of some law, in- accordance with the rocoiiitueudntlous of the secretary of agriculture, whereby tho ranchmon will be permitted to rent tha public lands mid fence thorn for pasture for their herds. Mr. Kliibards pointed out that of tho sixty million acres uf public lands only ten per cent was susceptible of Irrigation but that of the remaining ninety per cent much would be avail uble for pusturo purpose if the gov- rnmont would permit its fencing and use at a f.iir rental.
