APPOINTMENT OF MIR. GEER.

The republican party in Oregon
has no worker more faithful and
effective than T. T. Geer, of Ma
rion county. Logical, sensible
and eloquent, his services in cam
paigns for years past ha-Z con-
tributed in a large degree 20 the
party's success. He is a clean
man, and more of a statesman
than politician.
In spite of his able services,
MI. Geer has always been strange
1y overlooked when substantial
recognition was being made to
the tried and faithful. Year af-
ter year he has been ignored,
and yet year after year he led the
way to victory. He has never
let his personal disappointments
disturb his party loyalty, nor tenn
per his zeal.
1t was. therefore with genuine
pleasure that his friends and ad-
mirers learned that the Oregon
delegation has recommended the
appointment of Mr.. Geer as regis
ter of the land Office at Oregon
City, for which position there
were fifteen candidates. The Of
flee is an honorable, important
and profitable one. 1t is one of
the best places at the present dis
posal of the delegation.
In common with many of his
other warm friends, the GAZETTE
acknowledges feeling of disap-
pointlnent that Mr.. Geer did not
receive the collectorship, for
which he was more particularly
a candidate, but appreciating the
difficulties that beset the men,
bers of the delegation in making
selections from SO many good re-
publicans for so few offices, and
believing that they are in the
best position to be the best judges,
we tender congratulations to Mr..
Geer and to the delegation.
Several anti-republican news
papers are endeavoring to create
republican discord over this mat
ter. They will certainly fail.
Those who know Mr.. Geer know
that he will never endanger the
party's supremacy to emphasize
the fact that the wishes of his
friends were not in accordwith the
judgment of Oregon's congress
Sional delegation, --..

THE people of the east have
perverted tastes. The first car
of fruit shipped this year from
Corvallis contained some of the
finest Bartlett pears ever seen
anywhere and they were we'll
packed. Among the other fruit
were 81 crates of Hungarian
prunes, rather pretty, but cannot
be used as hog food in Oregon.
Now comes a telegram stating
that the Hungarians sold in the
east for $1.15 crate, while the
handsome. delicious Bartlett
pears brought only 95 cents a
box. People like that would
prefer pigweed to asparagus.

The new society hall will stand

loose in this town to brighten up
the time worn, weather beaten

would then have an attractive lit

THE anti-football cranks will
begin to howl again. Football
makes boys manly, healthy, self
reliant. 1t is sport that exer-
cises the mind as we'll as the
body. It calls for mental alert
ness and steadiness as we'll as
bodily quickness. strength and
endurance. is game that at
tracts as no other sport ever has.
But there are those who contin-
ually cry out against it. They
clamor about the brutality of
football. There ought to be a
college filled with young men
ruled according to the ideas of
these cranks. These young fell
lows would be yellow peaked,
giggly, cowardly, priggish and
dissipated, but they wouldn't t
play football and the howlers
would be happy.

RECORD OF CONGRESS
PROPOSITION OF DEMOCRATIC SEN
ATORS IS AGREED TO.
Details of Negotiations Regarding
Committee Places Left to u
subcommittee.

Washington, April 26.-The republican
senators In caucus have decided to accept
the proposition made ny .he opposition
for the filling of senate committees, lalv-
ing the arrangement of details to Senator
McMillan's committees The caucus also
offices of the senate, and the managing
witt the opposition to the end of securing
a division of these places. Both the places
of secretary and sergeant-at-arms of ;he
senate are vacant and the republicans;
think they should be allowed to nanla a
man to fill one of these places. The de-
tails of this negotiation will be left 10 q
sub-committee consisting of Senators Nc
MILAN, Lodge and Spooner.
The vacancies in ch~airnlanShips to be
filled are the following: Coast defenses,
examination of the several ranches Of
civil service, naval affairs, privileges and
elections, public lands, territories and for
estry reservations.
OF these places it is practically certain
that Senator Hale will be assigned to the
head of naval affairs, Senator Chandler
to privileges and elections. Senator Hans
brough to public lands and senator Shoup
to the territories.
Speeches favorable to the acceptance Ct
the democratic proposition We're made by
Senators Allen, Mcmillan, Lodge and
Spooner, and in opposition by Senators
Chandler, Wolcott and Proctor. The only
new senators who expressed themselves
were Messrs. Mason and Fairbanks, who
advocated acceptance.

The Gils0nite Deposits.

After passing the Nelson substitute the
bankruptcy bill INC permitting Senator
Morgan to offer an amendment to the free
homestead bill, providing that all public
lands not taken up by public entry by
January 1, 1900, shall be granted to the
states and territories, where these lands
senate adjourned from Thursday to Mon
forward as the leader of the opposition
to the Bailey faction in the split in the
democratic ranks, Mr.. Bland and his fol-
lowers voting with the republicans. In
the debates over the senate amendment
to the Indian bill Mr.. Lacey offered a sub
stitute proposition to instruct the con-
ferees TO insist Upon the provision to
lease the gilsonite lands in the Uncom-
pahgre reservation as would prevent their
control by combinations. Mr.. Dinghy
said the question at issue was as to
whether in this particular case the laws
applicable to mineral lands should APP
ply. This was the only large gilsonite
deposit in the country. If the royalty
obtained by Great Britain from asphalt
tum deposits We're obtained the govern
mont would profit to the extent of $30,O0o,-
600. If these lands were thrown open to
individual entry it you'd inevitably re-
suit in the transference of indiVidul u
rights in creation of a monopoly which
could control the price. Mr.. Bailey Of
fered an amendment which was voted
down., 40 to &c, to grant lands in the res
ervation to the state of Utah for sduca-
tional purposes. That proposition of Mr..
Lacey then prevailed without division.

Bankruptcy Bill Passed.

The senate passed the Nelson substitute
to the bankruptcy bill Thursday. The
free homestead bill was then taken up.
Senator Morgan offered an amendment
providing that all public lands not taken
up by public entry by January l, 1900,
shall be granted to the states and terri
tories where these lands are located, for
educational purposes. AT a o'clock a mes
sage from the house announced the death
of Representative Holman. Senator Tur-
pie presented a resolution voicing the re-
greet with which the announcement was
received and providing for a committee
of five senators to accompany the re-
mains. The resolution was agreed to and
the senate adjourned until Monday.
In the discussion of the senate amend
ments to the Indian appropriation bill,
Bland led the opposition to Bailey in the
democratic fractional fight, Mr.. Bailey and
his followers voting with the republicans.
Mr.. Steele of Indiana then announced the
death of his colleague, Mr.. Holman. A
resolution was adopted expressing pro-
found regret with which the house had
heard the announcement of Judge Hol-
mans death, and the speaker appointed
10 to join a committee of the senate to
accompany the remains to their final rest
ing place. The sergeant at arms was in
structed to take charge of the funeral.

MINERS PROTESTS ARE READ.
Bills Pushed Through tho British CO.
luInbia Legislature.

Victoria, B. c., April 26.-There has
been much talk over Kellie's vigorous
attack in committee on the Nelson IL
Fort Sheppard bill, which extended the
time for the company to survey and take
up the land grant. Kellie denounced in
strong terms the railway taking timber
off mining claims and levying tribute on
miners to be allowed to keep their timber.
In support of this Kellie Brought out a
number Of afiidavits of miners with COM
plants substantiating what he had said.
In reply to this the attorney general
said that if miners had any complaint of
this kind all they had to do was to take
out legal proceedings and the court
would soon bring the company to time if
they were acting Illegally.
The Cassair Central railway aid bill. on
the second reading being moved by Pre-
mier Turner, provoked a great deal Of
criticism from the opposition The bill,
as stated yesterday, leases a certain
amount of land to the railway for SO
years., and miners going on that particu-
lar land must go halve With the com
pany on minerals taken out. This was
the feature of the pill that caused debate,
the government saying that there was
plenty of minera land outside the lease,
and that unless the railway We're built
the country was too hard for miners 20
go in and work profitably.
The second reading passed on division
by 8 to 10, and the British Pacific bill, OK
tending the time for commencing eXpend-
iture required to hold the charter, passed
the second reading. The Barkerville, Ash
croft & kamloops railway bill was read
the third time n passed. and the second
reading passed of the bill to appoint a
mining inspector.
