Chamberlain and Henderson have each served sufficient time iu their respective offices to demonstrate their efficiency. Tney have acquitted themselves with distinction and honor. Tbey are real officers not figureheads Let us show our appreciation fur this sort of service. Political Earthquake. Two even's near the close of last week jarred the even tenor of Oregon politics, following the stem retdiiies of the primaries. One is still a wonder and a sonrce of soreness, while the other has Its humorous side, apart from the political tragedies, that go to make up the story. First in the order of its happening whs the turningof the tide in the count of the vote for the republican candidate for United Slates Senator. For three days H. X. Cake was looked upon n man wilh the big plum, when tb veer ing breeze wafted tidings from the counties kfar and wilh the rising on the political niaiket of Jonathan Bourn's stock, Cake saw his hard sought chance "the applaus of listening senates to pMunianri," fade at.d g glimmering into thedream of unborn things. Jonathan Ruorne, Jr. is the republican choice for United .States Senator by a slim plurality. Jonathan Bourne! Thin cognomen awakens riotus mem- Tie and some of them will ert him V'.i'H.

' The shades of Mitchell and riimon were there and they cast a shadow over the troubled scene. Candidates were like the sands of the sea, but Westgate won on a Compromise. Tbe election came off riaturday. The evetiii g before the candidates for Klate office, turning them Jonathan Bourne, )r lihycnjlie, the (luhernatorial cm did ie ind o.'hers, cauciiBi d.

Then there was a wrangle and the organization was held up. Things are generally held up where Jonothan is ind Jonothan U aad Jonathan was there. Finally, and It was getting to ward sun down, Wiihvcombe proposed Westgate. Bourne baulked, but the v?teranarian stood his ground aud the senatorial cjtndid.te yielded. His name was then propped to the Com uimittce which adopted it, us a mutter of course, for it was waiting for Jot a- than to give the word. The hand of Jack Matthews, ousted United States Marshal and deposed Republican boss, was seen in thegaine Early iu the morning of the second day the hu g and well-fed fotm of Ike Patterson hove on the scene. He came from the direction of Matthews' office. He went and came again and then again. He looked disinterested, but he talked in the ears of the troubled breatheru and ihcy heard him. Steel is an old Himon mnn and the Mitchell contingency didn't want him ; so he was shelved. Patterson I.s Collector of Customs and Westgate wants the job. Pai'tr-on didn't want to see Wes'g.ite made chairman, but Withyconibe insisted aud the boys thought that he ought to Lava something to say ''because you know" said they, "he's got a fiht uu his hands." And sure enough he has. Thus ends the first chapter in the organization of the Bepuhlican party along new and harmonious Hues. The fiteel men are just a little sore, al though they smile. That's the game. The old Matthews' crowd isnt al together jubulent, for they didn't gel w hat they wanted. Simon was turned down. Bourne wasn't the happiest man in the world, hut he didn't try. for he will have his hand iu the game, big, because has a sack and money talks. I he Deinoriiats are aitive.

Why do the Hailors call the right hand Hide of the ship "starboard" and the left hand "portr For the answer it Is necessary to go back to the days of the Norsemen and Saxons. In the viking ships the warriors hung the "hords," or tdiields, on the wide of the hhlj) nlxivc the places for their oars. The viking himself held the Hteer oar, which was fastened to the right hand Hide of the Ktem. Thus the right hand side of the ship became known ns the Hteer Bide, it ml us the bonis of the war riors were hung there it was called the "steerbord," or starboard side, while the lower, or lurking side, beearue the larboard.
