BURTON FOR JETTY.
Pledges Himself to Secure Appropri
ation This Winter.
Washington, Dec. 15. Chairman
Burton,. of the house rivers and harbors
committee, is not only in favor of mak
ing an appropriation una session lor
continuing the improvement at the
mouth of the Columbia river, but he
will, at the proper time, take tiff his
coat and go to work to get sufficient
money to keep work in progress until
another river and harbor bill can be
passed. How be will strive to accom
plish this result Mr. Burton has not
decided, but in conference with Sena
tor Fulton he expressed his friendship
for the project, and said he waa fully
aware of the necessity for making an
appropriation this winter.
Chairman Burton, who is in a posi
tion to do more for the mouth of the
Columbia river than any man in the
house of representatives, will work in
behalf of that project - with double en
ergy in view of the fact that Oregon
haa po representation in that body to
look after her interests. He will not
let the Columbia go because there is no
one from Oregon to press its claim, but
will himself shoulder the burden which
would have fallen on the Oregon con
gressmen had it been possible for them
to attend this session. He will have
the hearty co-operation of Representa
tive Jones, of Washington, who is also
on the rivers and harbors committee,
and who is anxious to aid in procuring
an appropriation for continuing work
on the jetty.
SENATOR JOHN M. GEARIN.
Governor Chamberlain Appolnta Suc
cessor to Mitchell.
Salem, Dec. 14. John M. Gearin
was yesterday formally appointed
United States senator to fill the vacan
cy caused by the death of Senator John
H. Mitchell, and his commission was
taken to him by W. B. Ayer, who was
in Salem on business. The appoint
ment caused no surprise, for it has been
believed by all who have given the
matter any attention that Mr. Gearin
would receive the appointment. The
selection meets general commendation
here and the opinion is quite frequent
ly expressed that the new senator will
be of material assistance in securing
from congress the recognition Oregon
expects in the way of public improve
ments.
"I shall start for Washington just as
soon as possible probably on Satur
day," said Mr. Gearin. "Governor
Chamberlain made the appointment
quickly in order that Oregon might be
represented at Washington at once. I
ought to respond by going immediately,
and I sbatl do so. I don't know that
the governor has picked out the best
man for the place, but I am going to do
the best I can in it."

of December 15, says the sodden re
turn of the government to reactionary

DECREASE OF POSTOFFICES.
Result of Rural Delivery Local Par
eels Post Proposed.
Washington, Dec. 16. The annual
report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General P. V. DeGraw says there has
been a decrease of 575 In the new post
masters commissioned, as compared
with the previous year. The actual
number of postofficee in the United
States at the close of the fiscal year
was:
First class, 275; second class, 1,258;
third class, 4,120; fourth class, 62,
478; total, 68,131. .
This, the report says, was a reduc
tion, resulting mainly from the discon
tinuance of 3,492 fourth class postofnees
during the year by reason of the estab
lishment of rural free delivery. The
aggregate compensation of the post
masters thus displaced amounted to
$198,994.
City free delivery had been extended
during the year to 44 new postofflces,
as against 69 in 1904. The gioss re
ceipts of free delivery offices during
the year had increased 8 per cent and
the cost only 2 per cent.
Mr. DeGraw renews the recommend
ation that a rate of 3 cents per pound
or any fractional part thereof be fixed
on packages not exceeding five pounds
mailed at the distributing postoffice of
any rural free delivery route. This
rate should apply only to packages de
posited in the local postoffice for deliv
ery to boxes of patrons on routes eman
ating from that office, and not to mail
transmitted from one office to anothar.
Army of Strike Breakers.
Chicago, Dec. 16. The Chicago Em
ployers' association, at a meeting to

ment of a ' standing army of laborers,

senting every branch of trade to be pre
pared to go to any city in the United
States to fill the places of strikers when
necessary. The scope of the associa
tion will be extended so aa to include
every city in the United States with a
population of 50,000 or more. Employ
ment bureaus will be maintained where
nonunion workmen can register.
