'Vrhe appearacce of the famous Kilties Band, a Scotch-Canadian organization, at Walla Walla last week, has created renewed interest in the gathering of the clans and in all probability the annual picnic of the Umatilla County Cale donian Society will take place in Athena this, year, . , r About twenty members of this society went over to Wulla Walla and heard the splendid concert given by the great Canadian band. They returned with pleasing reports of the entertainment aflbrded them. There has been some talk among the members of the society in regard to holding the annual Caledonian picnic in Atheua this year, and a uieetiug of the BOClftv -towns.

Absent... ......... .... .. ' 27 17 6 Total. 90 From a careful canvas of the situation at Salem and from information secured from reliable sources, the Portland Journal predicts that about midnight tonight at the special session, Harvey Scott will be elected United States sen ator. This is the program now, but of course it may be completely changed before the time for a ballot. However, thus far the plans for election have not been disturbed. . The senatorial fight has assumed a new phase which is sensational in the extreme. Jonathan Bourne is becoming so iformidable a factor that panic has seifced the supporters of Harvey Scott. Bourne's election as senator would mean complete overthrow of the machine which now dominates Portland politics and there is a possibility that the ma- chipe will be forced in order to avarf. the election of Bourne, to throw all its strength to Geer. The latter is anything but an acceptable candidate to the ma jority of the Multnomah delegation, but his election would be vastly preferable in the eyes of the machine to that of , Jonathan Jbourne.
