A curio taken from the Columbia county exhibit in the Agricultural building ut the fair grounds was re covered by Acting DetK'tivea Jones and Mears Tuesday morning. It was carried away by W. McDonald of 513 orthmp street. McDonald bought some furniture from the building and said he thought the curio whs worthless and loaded it Into ttit wagon with the furniture. The exhibit consisted of a log Id feet log, buried under ivy ten drils.'and hud been varnished. It is highly prized by naturalist. Though left standing in the rain all winter it was pot materially riamttged. Secre tary Hitnes of the Oregon Historical society was notified by the detectives and the curio taken to the city hall museum. Mr, Saxon of Bachelor Flats is get ting out several car loads of poles. He Las cut twocarloiids from his ranch. Tbej Western Cooperage plant has thelat fire protection of any similar plant on the coast. This was evi deuced by the way tnat fire was extin guished Wednesday morning Tbe fire alarm was sounded about two a. m. Wednesday morning, and but for the excellent facilities for ex tinguishing fires, the factory would now be a heap of ashes. The damage was probahly $30(1, and delay in mak ing necessary repairs will amount to considerable more. Iti Beeswax. The finding of another enormous hunk of beeswax on the Xehulein beach by a local resident named D. R. Lane has led to discoveries that settle the long discussed problem of tbe or igin of the Nebelem coast beeswax. It is said to have been the remains of a cargo of 600 tons of beeswax brought1 from Spain in a ship that was lost on this coast more than 200 years ago. The residents of the Nebalcm coast estimate that more than 400 tone of tLe wax have teen found in variously siied chunks along the beach in the last 100 years The earliest settlers on the coast of Oregon found it deposited iu the sand, and since that time differ ent perous have fouud the wax in pieces ranging from CO to .',00 pounds. Many theories were advanced as to what It came from and how it got there. Volume have been written on the subject and ienous have maintain ed that the stuff was not lieeswax at all, but some natural product of the sea, driven ashore by the winds. It has been proveu by exact chemical an alysis that the substance is genuine beeswax, and great quantities of it have been sold by the finders to eastern dealers, The last discovery, made by Mr. Lane, consisted of 300 pounds, which he sold to a dealer at the market price. Tbe chunk was in square form and bad been moulded in a box. It bore on one side a large letter "8" and o another aide a diamond brand. The wax bad been poured in it to a depth of more lhan a foot, then two or three layers of old-eaudJcs-bad been thrown io, and more layers of hot wax, some of finer quality than the lower layer. Hie discovery of the candles in the chunk led to Investigations that have satisfied those Interested as to tbe true origin of tbe Nebalcm beeswax. FOR ISITED STATU SKSATVR IS CONOREM ( All vacancy).

Portland, April .1, im The new primary law, which will be tested at the polls at the coming June election, will probably work a com plete revolution in Oregon politics. It is still an untried measure but It is cany to prophesy that so far as boss rule Is coucerned, this Is the beginning of the end. The trend of recent events i In the direction of a higher code of civil ethics snd a cleaner administration of governmental affairs. Thl argue well for the re-election of Governor Chamberlain and United States Hen atorOearin. The demand for the re-election of George K. Cbamperlaln is by no means a partisan one. His administration tf tha office has been so clean, fair, econ omical and so entlerly free from politi cal trickery that there has efisted all through his term a steadily Incrt-asing desire on the part of conservative and fair-minded voters, that he continue at the helm of the State for another term. This is one of the evidences ot an . awakened public conscience and of the destalned overthrow of the Oregon bosses. The recent resignation of Republican State Chairman Frank C Itaker Is : another demonstration along the same line, . The wisest of the Republican ward heelers in Portland can find no satis factory explanation of Mr. Bakers ab diction. It may mean Unit the Itc publican Junty will have no money lo spend during this rampidgn. It inny mean that the late chairman wc tho handwriting on th wall, mid having no inclination to wage u liming fight, had rather strike mow than lutcr. Tho fact remains that lhe former bo wont to the national Otpitol, haw the wImo men tif the FmsT, returned home, mid, in the parlance of lhe street, threw up the gponge. 1 Nearly all of the Republican aspirants for Governor are Iu Portland, aach confident of Uie nomination. Tho keynote of the cam pnlgn is this: "As Portland goes, an goes tho election." 0. A. Johns ami Dr. James Wittiy. oomb Iwtli claim -predominate a reujrth In the Metropoli and lioth f thetc gentlemeu spurn tho Idea that E Governor CJeer 1j Io the race. However, it is entirely probnblo that the vote the tall Statesman ironi the Waldo. Hllla, .will receive, will l it wonderful surprise lo hla romptrtors. Dr. Witliycombe, on the frtrongtlt of his connection with the Agricultural College and by having conducted numerous farmer's Institute at the State's expense, poses a n heavy banded son. of the soli. He sings bucolics; but h's notes are those of nn amatuer. Geer Is the real flung. Possibly tho biggest suofBof Ku life was achieved on his fatm at Miolnv. fltlll, the other loaders are encllnetl to underestimate his ponuhrJtv and wf.n th yotss at tbe primary r couatj, Hie four moHt iistonished men hi Ore will likely U; Charles Augustus John-, Harvey K, Hrown, Charles A.
