it looked for a few minute at If the ex
Senator ufter all would fail. The name
of "Mattoon," repeated with great vehe
mence, came from many parts of the
hall, and a crvwd of the Douglas county
man's friends got around hlinaud talked
to him excitedly, He seemed to be suc
cessfully withstanding them, and soon
there rose cries of "Deadlock," "Ad
journ," "Adjourn."
Mattoon of Multnomah was the forty
sixth man to go to Mitchell and elect
him. The crowd went wild again, and
fraternized wildly with the m embers,
embracing them, shaking them by the
hands and fairly jumping up and down
in their joy. The customary speech was
expected from Mr. Mitchell, and there
were uproarious demands for him to
come forward. He had been In the lobby
all evening watching the progress of the
voting and waiting for his certificate of
election. JJe was iound with no great
diiliculty and hurried forward through
the jimlling crowd.

Senator ltrow uell fired the first shot
for Mitchell on the twenty-first ballot
of the night, nominating Mitchell in an
eloquent address. Said Brow null : "He
is rijie in genius, intellect and integrity.
He Is Oregon's first love. He U the
prince of men, grand citizen, mau of
loving personality , intellect and force;
fit to stand with the great leaders of the
Republican party, like Oliver I'. Morton
and James G. Blaine."
After that it "was all over but the
shouting."

Five Thousand Dollars
Capital Stock For Tele
phone System Quickly
Snapped Up.
The full amount of capital Mock, f-5,000,
for the building and equipment of thn
Luke County Telephone and Telegraph
Bjatem ha been Mubncribed, and the
tit-it thing in order is the meeting of the
stockholders to be held at I'airley, Ore
gon, on Monday, April 1, 1501 , for the
porjii-e of electing a Board of Directors.
A soon a thi is accomplished the
Board will meet and arrange for the
building of the line, advertise for bids for
material, and to let a contract for
construction and equipment.
Wm. Harvey received a letter yecter
day from John L. Cotighlin, who is now
in San Fiancitco, in which Mr. Cough
lin says bis tinu will take f'KXI worth of
stock. I( it is found necexary to isHue
more stock to thoroughly construct and
equip the line, which Pwems probable,
the sum of (2,0U0 additional is canily
available und cau be had in an hour's
notice.
It in estimated that the line can be
built subniautially for foU per mile from
Iakeview to Silver Luke, (100 miles)
whiwh would lake up the full $5,000.
Some believe it cannot be built at $50
per mile, and that it will be necessary
to issue more stock. Happily, in that
event, $2,000 more can easily be had. It
is urged that each stockholder make it a
point to attend the first meeting at
Paisley on April 1st, when the Board ot
Directors will be elected. Following is
the list of stockholders w ho subscribed
to the full amount of capita) slock :

The Electric Light Plant
Accepted and Rates Es
tablished For Lighting
Purposes.
At a meeting of the Town Council of
Lakeview last Tuesday evening the
Council accepted the electric plant from
the Northwest Electrical Engineering
Company of Portland, represented here
by Mr. Cheney. The following rates
were established for wiring and lighting
the business houses and residences:
Arc lamp In 10 p. m I 7 00 per month
Are lamp to z a. m 0 OO per nionih
Arc lamp all nlxht 11 uo per mouth
liieamiraceiit lo 10 p. m 4c per candle power
lurandeac-nt to 2 a. m .rc " " "
Ineaudeocent ail night 6c " -' "
The above rate is to le in force until
June 1, 1901. It has been decided to
run the iower and furnish light until 2
a. m. for the present, arid if sufficient
patronage can be had to guarantee run
ning all night, the service will be granted.
For the information of the public we
will state that the actual cost of wiring
inside of business places or residences,
including lamp and fixtures complete,
will be about $1.45 per lamp; labor
about 50 cents per lamp; making a total
cost of less than $2 per lamp on an aver
age. Or, for instance, if a party would
want two or four lamps in his residence,
it would cost at the rate of about $1.45
per lamp. This would be the first cost,
and after that the light would be fur
nished at the rate of 4 and 5 cents per
candle power per mouth. For a ten
candle power to run until 10 p. m. it
would cost 40 cents per month and for
four lamps of this power $1 60 per
month; to run until 2 a. m. the same
lamp would cost 5 cents per candle
power. The fixtures are to be sold by
the town to the patron at actual cost,
and becomes the property of the patron.
It is to the interest of eveiy taxpayer
in Lakeview to patronize the town sys
tem, in order to get the rates as low as
possible, and, as it is an enterprise in
which every taxpayer is financially in
terested, it is expected that the electric
lights will be universally used. The
lights will be furnished almost, if not
quite, as cheaply as oil, and are much
more safe, cleaner and a great deal more
convenient.
Reports of Treasurer and Recorder
were accepted.
The tax for 1900 was ordered collected
at once, and if not paid by April 1st,
1901, property will be sold for taxes.
Manly Whorton was continued in the
position of Marshal.
An application from Ernest Brown,
asking for the appointment of Town
Marshal, was read.
It was decided that the Marshal uad
the power to go into any business place
and make an arrest of a peace disturber,
as a town ordinance provides for such
action.
Won a Cash Prize.
About four weeks ago J. Q. Willita of
Lakeview received from the Bernard,
Richards Company of Boston, Mass., a
circular inviting him to enter a word
contest arranged by the company. The
contest was the naming of three cities
to be spelled out of a certain number of
letters given. Mr. Willits received word
last Saturday that he waa one of the suc
cessful contestants and waa in line for
one of the cash prixea which range from
$50 to $2,000, as soon as the committee
had completed its labors. J. Q. is in
hopes the higher figure will touch his
case.
