at Friday night's joint meeting, the
last, of the session, it was, in fact,
early in the morning, for the hands
of the dork in tlio hall of representa
tives pointed to 17 minutes past 13
when the ollieial announcement of the
result was imido by President Brow
nell. The lirst ballot taken Friday nignt
resulted practically as had the one
taken at noon, a majority of tho Mult
nomah delegation voting for Geer,
and Fulton's nllolted !!; votes being
cast, in ins ravor. Tliero were no
speeches mid tliero was no excite
m nt.
On the second ballot, Uepfoseutn
tive Hume, who had been voting
variously for minoiity candidates
since his arrival on the 6cene of con
flict two weeks ugo, changed to Geer.
tin tlio thiril liallot there was no
change, exerpt that Fulton cast his
lirst vole. It was for Frank L Dun-
bur, secretary of state. The fourth,
fifth, sixth and sevenlh ballots wit
nessed no changes. On the eighth

making his total ill. On the seven

I'lvsiiient lliownell, amid a IH-rfect
storm of cheers and applause. And so
elided the contest.
Fulton's friends nearly tore liim in
pieces in their enthusiasm at the
victory. They pulled him, shook
him, liugg. d him, anil one full-grown
man kissed him lull upou the mouth.
Then tin y put him on their shoulders
and carried him up to the sis aker's
ilesl:. where he made a brief Hjieccli
of acceptance.

CITY OFFICERS CHOSEN
Council Confirm two Appoint
meats of Mayor Dnshor
The semi -monthly meeting of the
city council was held on Thursday
evening t the city hall, with tho
mayor in tho chair nut all the
conucil present except J. L. Calvert
and II. O. Perkins.
A petition signed by M. T. Galviu
and others for tho extension ofa side
walk on Fourth street, was presented.
On motion, the city attorney was in
structed to preparo an ordinance for
its construction.
A petition signed by J. II. Ahlf
and others for sower extension on
r if th struct was discussed and the
idea found expression that tho excuse
was too great in consideration of the
number of jieoplo to bo benefited.
On motion of Herbert Smith, it was
decided to lay the petition on the
tablo till the next regular mooting,
On motion by Hough, it was voted
that Ordinance 11W, regulating sewer
construction bo referred to the city
attorney for amendment. Action on
proposed sewer extensions was sus
pended until the passage of tho amend
ed ordinance.
The following bills were allowed :
V. I. Sweetland, fa."..
Grants Fass Grocery Co., (ill 10.
City Meat Market, H1 18.
J. A. Kuapp, 14 U0.
H. O. McCulloch, d 00.
Oregon Observer, 18 60.
Col. Johnson, 3 15.
Sugar Pino 'store, 30 75.
Tho ordinance amending tho fire
limits which had been under prepar
ation by tho city attorney, was pre
sented and read tho first time. After
some discussion, and on motion by
Hough, it was decided to include in
the firo- limits that portion of the
railroad property lying between Third
and Seventh streets. This leaves out
the round liouso site, but precludes
the construction of any more wooden
warehouses west of Seventh street.
An emergency was declared and the
amended ordinance was read the
second and third times and was passed,
Tho mayor then proceeded to the
appointment of city ollicers. Council
man Williams, who had been summon
ed hy 'phone to the K. of P. ball at
the OlH'ra house, begged permission to
retire and was excused by the mayor.
As lie was going out, aome one made
the remark that lie was afraid to stay
and vote. Ho immediately returned
to his seat and stayed the meeting
out.
The lirst apjiointnient made was
that of J. U. Paddock for police
judge. Rejected ly a vote of (I to 0.
The mayor then presented the name of
Geo. P. Furinau for the same olllco.
Rejected, 4 to 2. Ho tried once more,
naming H. L. Davis. Tho council
confirmed the apiKiintment unanimous
ly. He then iitiiiointed Henry Knutsen
as street commissioner. The council
confirmed the appointment in a vote
of 5 to 1. A jictitioii to reinstate
John Patrick in this olllco had been
presented early in the meeting but
was not taken from Hie table at this
time.
The last appointment was that of
Geo. I Wonlilriilgii for marshal. This
was rejected in a vote of I to 3. The
mayor made no further appointments
and the council win adjourned.

CRITICISM UNWARRANTED
Aduta.nt-Goneral Gantenbein
Justifies his Position
Adjutant-General Or-- U. Ganton
bein publishes the following article in
response to Hrownell's critiscim, in
the Oregon Senate, of the "Ollieial
Records of tho Oregon Volunteers"
"Senator Erownell introduced
resolution instructing tho secretary of
state to appoint a committee com
posed of two enlisted men aurl one
commissioned officer of the Second
Oregon, to reviso a volume of records
compiled by me under authority of an
act of the legislature passed two years
ago, for the reasou that I had favored
the ollicers, and had dono injustice to
the enlisted men. The particular
section of the net reads:
"In addition to the foregoing duties
and nil other duties pertainiug to the
otlicu of adjutant-general and the
chief -of-stnir, ho shall, at the expense
of tho state, causo 600 copies of the
muster rolls of the Oregon volunteers
for the Spanish-American War to be
printed by tho Btato printer, bound iu
proper form and distributed iu such
manner ns the Roveruor may direct. "
Iu my Introduction I state that "the
records of Oregon volunteers in the
Indian and Civil wars are very in
complete, so that it is always difficult
and sometimes impossible to furnish
desired information. A liberal com.
pi iauce however, with the renuremeuts
of the above section would liavo re
sulted In a volume of nt least 1300
pages of tabulated and therefore very
exH'nsive work, including much mat
tcrof comparatively little importance.
I havo for this reason assumed the
responsibility of preparing an abstract
of the luusler-in and muster-out rolls
of ciich organization and of adding
ollieial histories and retiorts of great
value in their bearing upon tho ser
vices of the stale's volunters iu the
recent war and insurrection."
The volume is not a history of tho
volunteers but is what its tiflo repre
seats it "The Ollieial Records of tho
Oregon Volunteers in tho Spanish
War nnd Philippine Insurrection."
This history was selected by mo for
the reasons that it was ollieial and
was written by n private who was
twico wounded in the service of the
regiment. It was first published four
years ago and I have yet to hear of
my criticism of its fairness.
Ibis history is followed by !)00
pages of abstract of muster rolls and
of all the organizations of tho Second
"Oregon nnd of lint lories A and U,
which givo the complete history of
each person named, nothing being ad
ded to or omitted from tho record con
tuined in the muster rolls under each
head, lhe arrangements of these
abstracts was decided upon after con
sulfation with General Summers and
the council of administration of tho
Spanish-American War Veterans of
the department of Oregon, the major
ity of whom were enlisted men. The
remaining pages of the book contain
the ollieial reports of general ollicers
under whom the Second Oregon In
fantry served, with iiponilcd reports
of Second Oregon volunteer officers,
in which every enlisted man as well
as every oltloer known to be entitled
to special mention receives It.
I have but one request to make in
regard to this work, ..t that any
IKTSon desiring fo pas judgment on
ilk merits first examine it and ascer
tain what it purports to lie and what
it is not a history, not an expression
of opinion as to the services of any
K'ison or rsons, but a compilation
of official reeoi ds, i to be placed for
future reference among tho archives
of the state.
I rained hut feel that the resolution
by the s, nato was the result of misin
formation as to the purpose and con
tents of the hook.

Dear Dr. lierrv: Aimwerinir vonr
letter of Jim. U, we will say that we
will not, to our knowledge, placo a
young mini who drinks in our husi-
uchs, and, even thouuli a man should
apply for a imsitinn whoso ability and
liner mi round quallllcittions would
seem to flt him for the position, if we
knew irKdittoovod that he was a drink
ing mini we should decline to consider
ns application. Any mini in our em-
loy who acquires tho habit of drink,
veil though moderately, is to a cer
tain extent marked down in our esti
mation, and, unless wo call remove
from him this serious fault, and show
lim Ins eiror, wo feel com m died to

also brought consternation into
the camp of the enemy. When a great

for prohibition It furnishes some
thing to rejoice over. Other cities
lid nearly as well. The vote was in
tho nature of a referendum. While
tho prohibition majority was not
sullicient to carry tho nieasuro into
immediate effect, it allowed a remark

and ia an index finger pointing direct
