THE JOINT ASSEMBLY. !' BotU a Pay and Night Sesaion Held With the Usual Ilesult. ' Tho total number present at Mon day's joint convention in ' Salem was thirty-six twenty-six from the house and ten from tho senate. . ' " The visual formality of dispensing with the reading of the journal having been adopted, the joint assembly took a recess till 9 o'clock at night. - When the joint assembly met at night, thirty-three were found to be present. .The absentees were Senutor Hughes and Taylor and Representatives Hudson, Thomas, Vaughan and Wag ner. When his name was called, Sena tor Gowan made a speech andreviewed at length the situation from the stand point of a Mitchell supporter. He laid the responsibilty for the hold-up on the ' opposition, and said: " ' ' "We demand only what is right. Wo will never surrender to what is wrong. They charge that Senator Mitchell alone is responsible for this hold-up. . We deny it; as a body of men and as individuals, wo deny it on document i '. ary evidence. I desire to read a. letter which will forever set that statement at rest." . ' " :. Gowan then read tho : following let ter! ' "Salem, Or., Feb. 22, 1897. Hon. ; Samuel Hughes, Chairman of the Re publican Conference, Salem, Or. My Dear Sir: I understand thero is a strong, disposition upon the part of a majority of the Republicans to adjourn tho legislature sine die, without fur ther effort to secure the election of a senator. This would leave the state only partly represented in the senate of the United States, the effect of whi3h, in all probability, Would be to t place the control of the senate in the hands of those opposed to the Republi can party, in which event the defeat of tariff legislation at the coming extra ordinary session of congress would be assured. It seems to me, therefore, there is a paramount duty resting upon you, to make ono more determined effort, beforo final adjournment, to se cure the election of a senator. Thero are many prominent Republicans locat ed in different sections of the state, eminently qualified for the position men Who would do credit to the party, .the state and the nation. I will co operate with you and all other Repub licans in the legislature in endeavoring to bring about the election of sucli a Republican as the Republican confer ence, to whom this letter is addressed, will agree upon. Yours very sincerely, ' , . "JohnH. Mitchell." Gowan then went on to dicsuss tho letter, and said: 1 "A caucus of thirty-nino Repub licans is behind1 John H. Mitchell, and we do not propose to change base at this time." , In conclusion, he said: "I give it as my opinion that we must adjourn with out securing legislation, and without 1 the election of a United States senator. " Brown stated that the letter which Gowan had read had been presented to the conference Republicans.and that the conference by a standing vote, had de cided to stay by its candidate, "who : ever he is," until they got a chance to vote for him. Senator Reed, of Douglass, made a speech, and introduced a letter, which he said had been presented to the Re publican conference. , . : . ' The paper was substantially an agree ment to be signed by all sides, iri which the members were pledged to organize and secure remedial legislation, and to vote for no candidate for United States senator in such manner nsto elect him, and to so distribute their votes as to prevent an election. The full text of the letter was withheld from publica tion. After several other speeches of minor importance the convention adjourned . without taking a ballot. Tho Senate. The senate held'ft brief session Mon day. The following motion was made by Michell of Wasco: . "In honor of the occasion, this being the 165th 'anniversary of the birth of George Washington, who was 'First in peace, first in war, and first in the hearts of his countrymen,' I m'ove that ;he senate now adjourn. " Reed of Douglas sprang quickly to his feet, saying: "I have an amendment to offer. I move that the senate now adjourn sine die." , "The motion is not susceptible of an amendment of that kind," replied the president. "Besides, it is itself out of order." , . Michell's motion carried, 15 to 14. ':''' The Benson house met, and very soon thereafter adjourned. ' The Davis house met in the morning with eleven membres present. It im mediately adjourned.

' END OF THE FORTY DAYS. lie Senate, nowerrr Decide Not to Adjourn Bine Die. The senate at Salem failed to adjourn Friday, which ended the forty days. By a vote of 16 to 14 adjournment was taken till 2:30 P. M. on Monday. Sen ator Carter cast the deciding vote. There was no debate on the question of adjournment as was expected. Sell ing moved that when the senate ad journ it adjourn to Monday. The yeas and nays were called for, and the vote resulted in a tie, as follows: Yeas Bates, Dawson, Gesner. Hob eon, Holt, King, Mackay, McClung, Michell, Mulkey, Patterson of Wash ington, Selling, Smith, Wade, Mr. President 15. : Nays Brownell, Calbreath, Carter, Daly, Driver, Dufur, Gowan, Harmon, Hasletine, Hughes, Johnson, Patterson of Marion, Prioe, Reed, Taylor 16. v Cater then changed from nay to yea, making , the vote 16 yeas, 14 nays. When Smith's name,wjs called he said, he would stay till Monday, but did not want it understood that he would stay here indefinitely. After the result was announced Reed asked the- president if the senate was to meet in the afternoon. . He thought somo of the senators who voted for tho resolution 'misunderstood its import. Smith then moved to reconsider the yote. He was seconded by Daly. The president put the motion and it was lost. This settled the question of ad journment. Gowan of the judiciary committee re ported the Gowan salary bill with amendments. The amendments were adopted and tho bill ordered engrossed for a third reading., - Tho , following amendments were made in salaries of Multnomah county officials: County judge, $3,000 per year; clerk, $3,500; recorder, $3,500; sheriff, $4,500; treasurer, $3,000. , Joint Pension Accomplished Nothing. Long before the time of the conven ing of the joint assembly Friday people began to enter tho galleries of the house. When the noon hour arrived the galleries were crowded in the ex pectation that voting for senator would begin. Their anticipations were not realized, however. The proceedings were but a repetition of previous ones. When Chairman Brownell called the convention to order he said thai he was in 'receipt of letters from Representa tives Hudson, Mitchell and Vaughan sr.ying they are t ill too ill 'to attend. Tho roll was then called, showing that thirty-six members were present. ; Representative Wagner was in his ccat for the first time for several days. The Keiion House. The Benson house met Friday morn ing and Crawford's resolution to de clare vacant the 6eats of the twenty seven unqualified members was called up. Somers argued the question from its legal standpoint and claimed that this act would not be to expel the mem bers, but simply to open tho way to fill their seats. 1 ' . Huntington took issue with Somers. He did not think tho house had a right 10 declare the seats vacant. , . It had a right tonotify the governor simply that these men had failed to take 'he oath of office and let him act accordingly. There was some further discussion by Nosier,' Lake and Crawford, and it was decided by a vote of 19 ayes, 7 noes to defer tho matter. , To Build a Portage Railway. The feature of Thursday morning's session of the senate was the adoption of a substitue for the bill introduced by Senator Michell relating to the con struction and operation of a portage railway from The Dalles to Celilo. The substitute was reported by Senator Har mon, chairman of the committee on commerce and navigation, which, com mittee had made a visit to the scene and. personally examined the ground over which tho proposed road is to be built. The substitute bill differs from that proposed by Senator Michell. in that provision is made for the procure ment of trackage facilities from tho Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com pany and the sale of material now owned by tho state in the event such trackage arrangement with the O. R. & N. Co. is made. :,' It also reduces the amount of the appropriation from $195,000 to $130,000; Accompanying the bill was the report of Civil Engineer S. L. Lov cll. He recommends that construction of the road commence at Big Eddy, which is the head of navigation. Mr. Lovell's estimates'on the cost of tho road are .as follows: ' Roadbed, $74,025.50; ties, $4,000; rails, $20,000; joints and spikes, $36, 000; tracklaying and ballasting, $9,000; delivering material, $2,600; elevator, $5,000; ten per cent for exigencies, $11,800; total, $162,826.60.:' :.

It is a sort of apartment ar rangement in which he carries around his whole family, but this Is really suggestive as to the use of outside pockets in the over nils of working men, who, in nyichine shops and factories, are subjected to sud den hurts and severe bruises. If a bottle of 8t.

For the worst bruises it is known to be the best remedy, curing the tenderness and soreness of the spot very promptly, while in the pi-ocess of curing, the discoloration disappears and the affect ed parts are fully restored. .'.

Dr. Williams the Instrumen From the Republican, Fresno, Col. ' A case reported from Fresno county is that of a well-known former resident of Kingsburg, though now residing at Selma. .- '. ' Mr. J. M. Purves is an old gentle man of 70, who, during his long resi dence in Kingsburg, was beloved alike by young and old, and he is equally en deared to the people of his new home. It was about July 15, 1896, that a reporter of the Republican met Mr. Purves, and was astonished to see such improvement in his appearance. He looked ten years younger and much stouter than when he moved away from Kingsburg for the benefit of his health, and he was congratulated on his im proved appearance. . ' "I was all run down when I moved away," Mr. Purves said; "something like an old clock that is worn out, but I have undergono such repairs as I think will keep me in running order for many years to come if no accident ocours." , ... "What was the agent that wrought the change, Mr. Purves," the reporter asked. "Was it Pink Pills? they seem to be doing all the healing "in Fresno county." "Pink Pills are the very things that have built me up," Mr. Purves an swered. "I happened to read one ol the advertisements of their healing qualities, and then read several more, and somehow there was something in the way the testimonials read that as sured me they were true. One in the San Francisco Examiner especially im pressed me, and I sent at once and bought some of the pills. I took them as directed, and I do not think I need tell you what tney have done for me. I am quite recovered and set back in the journey of life at least twenty years. I have done more work since I have taken them than for a long, long time before. Indeed I may say since long before you were born. , , . . , "I took only two boxes in all, but I shall always keep them by me as long as I live, in case of relapse." ' ' (Signed) . , ; , J.M. PURVES.

Y INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN , GRATIS By a Graduate- of National A cricnlturnl Collegr, of' Berlin, Mr. UlchaiU Kubue Satisfactory Teste Made. M. Ekhard Kuhne, of Tigardville, Or., was in Portland ' recently, and jshowed much interest in the agitation for establishing the beet-sugar industry in. tho Korthwost. Mr. Kuhne is a graduate of the National Agricultural college, of Berlin, and for the last twenty years has devoted his time to the study and work of producing sugar from beets. "With an extended experi ence in Germany, and being ono of the prime-movers in establishing the Grand Island sugar factory, in Nebraska, he is in position to furnish valuable informa' tion on the subject. ' Mr. Kuhne was connected with that factory until about three years ago, and during the period was for somo time agricultural expert of the state. When interviewed on the practicability of, the industry in this section, he was enthusiastic, and ex pressed great confidence that the move ment on foot would result in some sub stantial benefits, as it was a similar condition of depressed markets that in duced the Nebraska farmers to launch into the business- Several tests and experiments he has made in producing the beets were said to be most satisfac tory. " The Northwest needs' an organ ization, he thinks, which will take hold of the matter in a systematic manner, and concentrate the minds of the peo ple to the vast wealth that must follow intelligent cultivation of beets for the manufacture of sugar. He kindly offers his services gratis if expenses are de frayed, to give instructions to any col lection of farmers that will take an interest in the matter. To a reporter, Mr. Kuhne said: "The belief prevails that the dry weather we have for a period during the summer and autumn months will be in jurious to beets grown for . sugar manu facture. ! have proven this to be not true by actual experiments. Beets re quire a deep soil, and careful cultiva tion. Given these, which the Korth west is more capable of furnishing than many other localities that are now im mensely prosperoua in the the same business, beets require less rain than other vegetables. AVhile I was connect ed with the Grand Island factory, in Nebraska, this quality of the beet was fully shown. In 1890 the season was so dry that the grains on ears of com would not form; oats, barley and wheat, as well .as vegetables, were a failure. Everything was dried up by the south winds, except the beets. They stood it finely, and yielded from six to ten tons per acre, with from, sixteen .to twenty per cent of saccharine matter. This was the only income the farmers had that year, and ! immediately . the state gave the farmers a bounty, in recognition of tho importance of the crop. 1 ' .".. ' .,'.'' ' "Beets thrive best in sandy soil, with a little clay mixed, or in a clayey soil, with a little sand. ,. This combination of soil has been proven to produce the best and richest beets. Bottom lands, along rivers grow greater quantities, but the beets contain less saccharine mat ter. By ' careful cultivation, bottom lands can be made to produce beets yielding from twelve to fifteen per cent saccharine, while uplands will yield from sixteen to twenty per cent sacch arine. The uplands have about aver aged ten to twelve tons per acre, while bottomlands go much over this. ' ''During the three years that I have been in Oregon, I have each year raised some sugar beets, part of . which have been submitted ;to analysis at the ex perimental station in Corvallis, and a few have been sent to other places .for tests.' My experiments, with beets on the uplands has been a yield of twelve tons an acre, with saccharine contents from sixteen to eighteen per cent. This test of saccharine was made by the ex perimental station at Corvallis, and by careful cultivation the per cent could have been raised to twenty easily. The same beets, after1 many heavy rains,' occurring about the 0th of Kovember, still showed fifteen to sixteen per cent saccharine, with the great purity oi ninety-oije per cent. "What we need is to get a factory started in some manner. The persons who will then be eager to engage in the business will surprise you. If tho farmers aro not able to pay cash for shares in a factory, arrangements could be made to have them pay them in beets. This method of obtaining suffi cient support to start would have ai double advantage. The farmer would reap a profit, and the factory would also receive 'a benefit, as it is necessary for, them to have the beets anyhow., Euro pean countries have adopted the plan, and in Germany it 1s seldom that out side "capital is used to erect a faotory. There are 400 factories in operation there, and in nearly every one farmers are stockholders. ' . ; "The quickest solution is for each farmer to sow about a quarter of an acre with beet sugar, and demonstrate for himself what the ground will yield., In sowing this amount of ground, about five pounds of seed should be used. In getting seed it U very essential toohtain the best, for ih this rests a large per centage of the sugar content. The most approved kind I have yet used is a mixture of half Klein Wans lebiner Original and half. Wilmorin. Blanche Amelioree. . If farmers will procure seed, and get together in some kind of a meettng, I am willing to at tend such and furnish them whatever . instruction I may be able to give, pro-, vided my expenses aro paid , . ..
