Viewing the senatorial contest inde-

judice, and solely from the standpoint
of oregon's good, and especially that
Of Astoria and Clatsop county, there
exists one of the strongest reasons
why Senator Dolph should be returned
to Washingto and ian preference to
amy other man who has been or could
be brought before the legislature. He
is one Of the most powerful and innu-
entail members Of the senate river and
harbor committee-his usefulness to the
state in which connection has been SO
abundantly and substantially attested
that 1t can not be questioned. To elect
new man to the senate must deprive
Oregon of It's representative on this

concerned, on the whole senate calen-
dar. 1t so happens, too, that Mr.. Her.
mann is also member of the cores.
ponding house committee, and to trans
fer him to the senate will be worse than
failure to re-elect Mr.. Dolph, since
the state would thus lose the unusual
advantage of two members of the joint
committee, and be left without any
member at all on either committee.

is passionately fond of flowers, and her
rhododendronS are celebrated throughout

her a fine briday veil of point lace for

ana this duty the marqulse will pay.
Count Jean de Castellane's gift TO the
bride is corsage decoration composed of
diamonds and emeralds valued at several
thousands dollars. the emeralds in this
magnificent ornament are said to be as fine
as those presented by the empress of Aus

gifts in view of the fact that the bride-eect
