This ne and up-to-date eraft is th prop erty of Albert Hnrst, of this city.; Mr. Hurst sent east for the boat and is very proud of it. Steel skiffs that prove a success are very rare, as it takes gr?at Iab r and care to properly construct them in perfect shape. The boat belonging to Mr. Hurst is made of the very lest of sheet steel, being fourteen feet in length, and weighs but eighty-five poun.ls. Oars are of the lat est pattern with jointed arrangements, enabling the oarsman to remain facing the course the boat is running and pull the oars in the same way the operator does when facing the stern of the skiff, as ordinarily. -j , This little boat, notwithstanding 'its diminutivenese, is' impossible to sink owing to the various air-tight eompart- TIEES OF YOXTNO BBXDE.

The Evening Post today says: George W. Perkins, of the firm of J. P. Morgan L Co., will retire from the vice-presidency of the New York Life Insurance Company and from the chairmanship of . its finance committee at the next animal meeting, next April. A friend of Mr. Perkins declared today that this-Mtep has been taken at the suggestion of Mr. Morgan and that the decision would be formally announced .very soon.

Doubtless it is very mueh larger than it was in the earlier days of our Republic, but this fact has no more . relevancy than that & man's coat would be too large for tfn infant. ; It is true that for its size ours is a very "costly navy, but this fact arises from 'two eauses, neither of which w should be willing. to change. The rate of compensation tor labor is happily much higher in our country than it) most others, and we are firmly- and wisely opposed to compulsory military service in time of peace; under these circumstances we must expect to pay for our good fortune. With regard to the first of the two above mentioned problems, therefore, the material ques tion, fairly stated, is not "How large a navy do we want!' but, With how small a navy can we be safet" since we, may be assured that in any event our navy will be, considering our resources, our interests and oar national duties, very small one compared with those of other nations of the same class. In dealing with all questions relat ing to the Davy it should be borne in mind, that sea power must be a factor of the first moment in any conflict of any gravity or danger to which our country could be a party. An appre ciation of this fact on the part of our government and people has led to large expenditure for the purpose of build ing up a navy sufficiently strong to assure our national safety in any eon- j tiagency of reasonable probability.

All the , officials in these places have given satisfaction, and there is no dis position te disturb them. There are a few changes in the small patronage oc casioned by retirement from congress of the patrons of the incumbents, but these are not sufficient in number to cause any great scramble. The burning q-ation tr.th both old and new members of, the house is com mittee assignments.. It is a question also that is causing .Speaker Cannon to puif away at his cigar with a littls more than; his aeccstomed vigor. ,Ths speaker finds himself obliged in a way to fill square f holes with round pegs. The ways ' and means committee, of course is the most troublesome as well as the most important. There are too many revisionists on the committee cow to suit the speaker. - Bat every Be publican member of the committee has j been re-elected and the custom is to re appoint all re-elected members. And that's where the trouble comes in. From a high protectionist viewpoint the ways and means committee is "wob bly." The only bona fide high protec tion members of the committee are Xeedham of California, Boutelle of Il linois. Hill of. Obneetieut, Curtis of Kansas Grosvenor of Ohio and possibly J Watson of Indiana. H c Jt has been suggested that the equil ibrium of the committee could best be restored by replacing Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, , who is; a revisionist, by Mr. MeCleary of the same state. Mr. Mcdeary is a stand-patter among stand-patters and could be counted up on to "revise the tariflf upwards,' if revise at alL He is a student, deeply versed' in, theory and familiar with schedules and conditions, and is said to be the one man, in Mr. Cannon's opin ion, to put ginger into the wobbly ways and means committee as at present con stituted. But whether this or any other change will be fade in the personnel of the cofmittee is a, matter to be de cided later. GOOD BYES SAID BANQUET GIVEN TJN HONOR OP W. ELLIS RICHARDSON, WHO GOES SOUTH. No Unusual Incidents. Washington, Dec .4. The assembling today of the fifty-ninth congress for the nrst session was marked by no un usual incidents, but attracted crowds of spectators, who took a lively in terest in the proceedings. In the senate the proceedings were brief, but the house was in session more than three hours and while the pro ceedings followed the program marked for the opening of- congress for many years, there was enough of interest to hold the exceptionally large audience during' the -entire time. Senators Allison and Morgan were ap pointed by Vice-President Fairbanks asj a - committee to notuy ine presiueni that congress was ready for any com munication he desired to make. The senate was Jn session only twenty min utes. Senators AW rich of Rhode Island, Knox of Pennsylvania, Warner of Mis souri . and Fraier of Tennessee, took the oath of offieeand adjournment was then taken as a mark of respect to the late Senator Piatt of Connecticut. The preliminary steps to perfect or ganization were taken by the house. Joseph G.-Cannon was re-elected speak er, the members of the house took tne oath of ofBce and all officers and door emloyes of that body were re-elected; the rules of the last congress were adopted and the members went through the formality orurawing yor seats. In a brief, "Speech against the adop tion of the rules the minority leader, Williams of Mississippi, touched on the incident of the country in tariff legisla tion and told of the new Republican .? ideas" which are being "wafted to Washington on the breezes from every part of the country." These, he said, might be properly legislated "should the minority, of the majority" stand with the Democratic members in op posing the adoption of the old rules and forming new ones which would permit of the consideration of such legisla tion as popular opinion might dictate. . A committee was appointed to act with the senate committee in notifying President Roosevelt that congress was readv to transact business; a rules com mittee and a committee on mileage were appointed ami the house adjourned in compliance- with the 'resolutions an nouncing the death-of Senator Piatt of Connecticut and Representative Marsh of Illinois. Mitchell Absent. Washington. Dee. 4. Mitchell and Burton were the only names called on the opening of the senate this morning to which failure to respond! attracted attention and comment. It is . believed that the committee on committees, when it meets will disregard Mitifiell's wish to retain the chairmanship of the Pan ama canal committee and assign him to a non-working committee ' ' Oregon Not Represented, Washington, Dec. 4.

Tb Executive Committee of the Young Ken's Republican Club Say Farewell to Him ia Happy Manner Going to Chickaaee, L T to Practice. ' ( - A pleasant social gathering resulted last evening when the executive com mittee of the Young .Men 'a Republican Club sat down to a splendidly served banquet at Strong's restaurant, gotten up in honor of W. Ellis Richardson as a sort of farewell and "boa voyage" on tho eve of his departure for Chiekasee, Indian Territory, where he goes in a few days for the purpose of entering upon the-practice of law in the sunny southland.

He i a member of the city central committee from the seeond ward. The esteem in which be is held by his friends and associates was evidenced by the hearty words of praisei and re gret at hia departure which were ut tered by his hosts of the banquet, every one of whom responded in eloquent words as called upon by the toast mas ter and chairman of the meeting, presi dent Hal D. Patton of the elub. Following the substantial features of the banquet, Mr. Patton in choice phrases, for his post prandial talks are making him famous, stated the object of the gathering and at his call 4 he following gentlemen present responded suitably: Mayor, Frank W. Waters-, Hon. J. G. Oraham, J. C Goodale, Jr., A. F. Hofer, B. F. West, H. S. Rad cliff, D. W. Pugh, John B. Giesy, E. P. Horgan, Justice . H. H. Tire, L. R. Stinson, L.' T. Reynolds, C. L-I'arment- ' er and Lee Acheson. Letters ibf regret were read from Orr Royal A, A. Mc-H Cormiek and Charles Xi. JlOary. Mr. Richardson will cerjtainly carry with him the best wishes not only of those who supped with him,lat night and bade him God-speed, but of a host of Salem people with whom he is popu lar and highly regarded.

The state land board met yesterday and discussed the recent disclosures re garding forged certificates on lands pur chased from the state. An order was passed instructing the clerk to call in for deeds and demand final payments on all certificates issued prior to January 1, 1900. This will reach all the cer tificates issued during General Od ell's time, Which it seems was selected as the period in which to locate the for geries. General Odell's name, which is signed in plain, straight letters, is easily copied, hence the temptation. The reform school t-oard held a short session in the forenoon. The school has 113 boys in charge now and it is prob able another teacher will be necessary there.

CITY ELECTION REPUBLICAN NOMINEES ELECT- . ED IN FIVE WARDS, ONE DEUOCBAT, AND A TIE. The Election Very Quiet and Only One. Third of the Vote FcUed Third and Fiftli Wards Unanimous and Fourth Nearly So Full Returns.

He pulled out, however, with sixteen majority.
