THEY WANT A SENATOR.

If straws indicate the way the wind
is blowing, there is not much doubt
but Governor Lold will convene the
legislature in extraordinary session
sometime before the end of the year.
While there is little need of an extra
session, the pressure being brought to
bear upon the governor is very great,
and since he is in no mood to resist,
proclamation convening the legisla'
ture need not be surprise.
Governor Lord wants an extra ses-
sion to close up the affairs of his ad.
ministration before he shall retire.
and the politicians want a senator
from Oregon to take his seat in con-
gress in case of an extra session being
called before the 4th of next March.
Their demands for a senator are based
upon two grounds. First, they want
full representation from the Pacific
coast states to act upon the disposition
of the Philippines, and second, they
want another senator there who will
vote with the administration in case
currency reform bill is brought up in
congress. Their demands for sena-
tor are so pronounced that even if the
governor were not so inclined, he
could hardly refuse to grant them.

SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING.

The advice given general advertisers
to overlook the local press and adver-
tise only in the magazines and metro.
politan dailies will result in great
many failures among those who accept
it. The Rowell advertising agency
first promulgated this nonsense, but
in advertising their own proprietary
article, they do not follow their own
advice. The writer remembers years
ago breakfast food named Cerealine
was put on the market with a great
flourish of trumpets in the magazines
and the large dailies. In little Ore
gon hamlet country grocer was load
sd-up by his wholesaler with some ten
dozen packages of the new food. He
kept it without a single call for more
than year, when he was induced to
put five line local in the village paper
and within a month the stock was
sold. There was enough money spent
in advertising Cerealine to have had it
introduced into every town in the
United States and made regular
seller, if the local press had been used
instead of the mediums chosen.
Take w. L. Douglas, the So shoe
man, he secures an agent in practical
ly every town in the United States and
booms his shoes in the local press.
Some business rivals are using the
magazines exclusively and asking peo-
pie to order by mail a shoe they never
saw and cannot examine. 1t makes
US tired. If there are enough people
in the United States who will send by
mail for the single article of shoes to
make such advertising pay, then there
is no way in the world to lose money
by advertising.
Only during the present month, a
grocer who does not believe in adver-
tising, informed the writer that the
advertising of "Schilling's Best" teas,
spices, coffees, etc. was an outrageous
blackmailing of the retail grocer.
"We must keep them in stock" he
said, "or lose custom, and our profit is
not nearly so high on them as on some
other brands" And such is the fact.
the people of the Pacific coast have
read of "Schilling's Best" in prac
tically every local paper. and as the
goods are standard and first class. they
buy them, and the retailer is forced to
keep them in preference to cheaper
and unknown grades of goods.
The retail store is the place for the
sale of any general article and the peo-
pie to reach by advertising are the
patrons of such stores. Make local
demand for your goods and let the peo-
pie know that such articles can be
obtained in the regular line of trade
and you will do a successful business.
Any other course will result in the
widespread disaster that has overtaken
the bicycle industry.

to wheat growing, and advocates the
development of other agricultural in
dustries. He is an enthusiast in flax
and sugar beet culture and believes
Oregon exceptionally well adapted to
the successful growth and manufacture
of these products, says the Union
Scout.
Mr.. Judson bases his opinion on a
broad experience and careful research
and his ideas mean much to Oregon's
prosperity. When wheat was worth
upwards of 20 cents, we were all right,
but when it drops below that price we
are all wrong. No state should so ex-
clusively depend upon one product for
its maintenance. Eastern Oregon is
less subject to this criticism than the
Willamette Valley. East of the Cas-
cades, the stock industry is much more
of commercial factor and wool often
brings into the principal towns hun
dreds of thousands of dollars annually,
in addition to their immense cereal ex-
ports. The effort to introduce into
our state a more diversified product
should meet with the hearty co-opera-
tion of every citizen and board of trade.

GOLD AND COIN BONDS.

The Oregonian says ''an important
milestone in the nations financial
progress is passed in the sale of Great
er New York's new.bond issue of S12,-
600, drawing 81 per cent interest, d"
and sees in this transaction a more
firm fastening OF the gold standard up
on the nation, for the bonds are pay
able, principal and interest, in gold
coin. We agree with the Oregonian
that this transaction marks an i'm
portant era in national finances. just
as does every sale of public bonds.
Every bond sale fastens the shackels
upon the American people just that
much tighter, and makes it just that
much more possible for the bondhold-
ing class to control the legislation
affecting finance.
But the argument that the Oregon
ian seeks to apply in the case of these
New York bonds, that because they
were gold bonds they were floated at
premium when drawing only 3! per
cent, lacks force in the face of the
fact that only few days since the
government sold at par 5000, 900, 900 of
coin bonds, which, should there be
change in our financial system, need
not be paid in gold. New York bonds
to the amount of S12 100000 are just as
good security as government bonds,
yet the highest bid for these 81 per
cent bonds was only 81 .O985l, whereas
the government per cent coin bonds
sold readily at par, and the holders of
these latter bonds are today able to
dispose of them at slight premium.
1t would therefore seem that gold
bonds are no more desirable than coin
bonds. But the people who must pay
these public. debts in the future are
liable to suffer, for the bonds that are
made payable in gold may be more
difficult to meet than those papable
in coin.

APerfecr A Iarm System.

D. S. Outur has secured the agency
for the Western Alarm System which
is the most perfect alarm and call bell
system that is made. When put in a
building it is so arranged that the
opening of a door or raising of a win
dow will ring an electric bell. AS
guard against burglars it has no equal,
and if put in every house would
be safeguard to property that
would be inestimable in value.
The system is so arranged that it can
connect business houses with resi-
ences at any distance, so as to furnish
an alarm at any hour of day or night
in case an attempt is made to enter
the building with which it attached.
The system is well worthy the atten-
tion of all who desire protection
against thieves.

IT IS SATISFAC.
TORY TO SPAIN
Ambassador Cambon Author
lied to Sign the Protocol.

MADRID, Aug. 12.-The government
has received the protocol and approved
it, and has wired Ampassador Cam bon
empowering him to sign the prelimi-
naries of peace.
Yesterday was automatically one of
the busiest since the outbreak of the
war. There were no less than three
cabinet councils, in addition to the
various diplomatic conferences.
Though the text of the protocol was
not received until the evening was
we'll advanced, the government had
been made fully acquainted with its
contents through Paris.
The matter was practically settled
at the cabinet meeting in the after
noon, and the receipt of the actual
document, therefore, only required a
meeting of the cabinet for formal &C.
ceptance.
Ministers adhere to the statement
that the protocol contains no modifca
tion of the original terms, but only
new suggestions.
They expect it will be signed at
Washington today, and that a suspen-
sion of hostilities will be announced.
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of
foreign affairs, assures the correspond
ent of the Associated Press that the
negotiations for the peace treaty will
take place in Paris, but he says the
commissioners have not yet been
appointed.
The terms of the protocol will not be
published until the instrument has
been signed.

GOMEZ WON A BATTLE.
He Forced the Trocha and Marched
Into Camaguey.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Cuban
junta here is advised tn at General
Gomez with 5000 men has forced the
trocha between Los Villas and CANA
guey and is now master of the situat-
ion in that section. The trncha at this
point was guarded by 1000 Spaniards
under General Castellanos, and never
had been broken before. General
Gomez himself led his soldiers. as they
made the attack on the torcha and
blockhouses early in the morning.
The principal lockhonses we're not
heavily sarrisoned and were quickly
stormed and teken. The Spanish SOL
diers fell back of the tCrcha, and
there made stubborn resistance,
which they kept up the greater part of
the day. In the afternoon however.
their main body gave way before
machete charge of the Cubans, and
the entire Cuban force passed oyer the
dividing line and marched without
further interruption into Camaguey.
More than 300 Spaniards were killed
in the battle and about 130 Cubans
lost their lives.

GOVERNOR OF HA WALL

The appointment OF Harold M
Sewall as governor of Hawaii would
not be ia good taste nor the most fit.
ting that could be made. Sewall is
somewhat of the chronjc-ofice-seeking
variety of American public men. OF
the present status as regards the gov
ernorship, special correspondent of
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
The political pot is beginning to
boil furiously in Honolulu already.
That great American institution, the
political boss, has within a few days
appeared in the arena in the person of
F. q. McStocker, the Collector Cen
eral of the Hawaiian Republic. "Se-
wall for Governor" is the slogan of the
men who have led in politics here for
the past five and one-half years. They
mittee of the American Union party.
This organization has sought to con-
troll things, but has been only partially
successful, The members flock to Mr..
Sewall and fix upon him as their
leader because he is, above all things,
a partisan. Mr.. Dole has not been
that sort of chief, and it would be
impossible for him to assume the role.
He is of different mold. He is above
and beyond narrowness. He is not
the man for those who believe in ex-
pediency or practical politics.
In recent session of the central
committee, Mr.. Dole had but couple
of advocates. In general poll of the
voters, did he care to enter such a con-
test, he would easily carry the day.
Those who have so hastily forward I'd
things for Mr.. Sewall are men who be-
lieve that the present American Min
lister is powerful enough at Washing
ton to get the gOyernorship with slight
endeavor from here. If the local
leader and the man with perhaps the
biggest following has an important
and well-paying position that he de-
sires to hold others want the prestige
of being in the political tray of Mr..
Sewall. These elements have dropped
Mr.. Dole. The friends of Mr.. Dole
feel this keenly, and the incident will
mar the record of Sewall, who has
almost openly sought the appointment
while still in charge of the American
Legation.

HOW THE BATTLE
WAS FOUGHT.
General Greene's Forces Were Attack
ed During Storm.

ed During a Storm.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10-A dispatch from
Manila via Hong Kong to the World,
gives full account of the battle at
Malate on July 31st. 1t appears that
General Greene's forces, numbering
1000 men, had been advancing toward
Manila and were entrenching. 1t be-
ing feast day with the insurgents,
their forces had been Withdrawn,
leaving the American right flank ex-
posed. Companies A and E of the
Tenth Pennsylvania and the Utah
battery were ordered to reinforce the
right flank In the midst of raging
typhoon, with a tremendous downpour
ct rain. the enemy's force, estimated
at 1000. attempted to surprise the
camp. Our pickets were driven in
and the trenches assaulted.
The enemy was on the trenches be-
fore the reinforcements arrived. but
the Americans returned the charge of
the Spaniards, and moved them down
like tenpins.
The enemy was repulsed and retreat
ed in disorder. Our infantry had ex.
hausted its ammunition and did not
follow the enemy. Not an inch of
ground was lost, out the scenes in the
trenches will never be forgotten.
On the night of August 1, the fight
ing was renewed, but was conducted a
long range with heavy artillery. and
again on the night of August 2 the
artillery duel was renewed, in which
two of our men were killed. Our en-
tire loss in the three days. fighting
was 13 killed, 10 mortally wounded
and A injured.

ALUMINIUM HORSE SHOES.

There seems to be no limit to the
uses to which aluminium can be put.
The Russian Minister of War has ap-
proved of aluminium horse shoes for
the cavalry, after severe lest as to
their merits. They wear longer than
iron, are less affected by moisture,
cost no more, and are of course much
lighter. They are likely to come into
general use in the near future. With
in few years iron will have to take
back seat for many of the utilitarian
purposes where it is now deemed in.
The first skirmish alone
has been fought in the field of ofindustry
destined to be won by the onward
march of aluminium.

SPAIN MAKES
ONE RESERVES
The Reply to the Peace Prop.
sition Not Satisfactory

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The Span
ish note to the presidents peace con-
ditions is in the hands of the depart
ment, and conference was held yes
terday between President Mckinley
ana Secretary Day as representatives
of this government, and VI. Cambon,
the French ambassador, and his first
secretary of legation. NJ. Thiebaut,
representing Spain, but the result of
the conference has not been made
public.
The Spanish note is said to be di-
vided into five points or heads, namely:
Cuba, Porto Rico, Ladrone islands, oc-
cupa.ion of Manila and appointment
of a commission, which are treated in
the order named. So far as could be
learned, no mention is made of the
Cuban debt. The retention OF arms
and ammunition by the Spanish troops
comes in for indirect reference under
the head of Cuba.
The Spanish reply is said to accept
the principle that Spanish sovereignty
over Cuba will terminate, but it is
understood to take up the future gov
ernment of the island, and because of
the extent of the Spanish interests
there, is said to take the view, either
expressed or implied, that the United
States should administer the affairs of
icla nd h. of
ing Cuba, this is detail which the
Spanish reply is said to regard as
among many which will be left to the
commission for final determination.
The American conditions as TO Porto
Rico, the Ladrones, Manila, ect., are
believed to be accepted. The topics
are treated at some length, and it will
require the full text to show how far
the language used may be construed
as an acceptance.
In the absence of au official state
ment, it is impossible to give the
Spanish position on the several
American conditions. But from the
best information obtainablet in treat
ing each subject, Cuba, Porto Rico,
Ladrones, Manila and peace COM
mission, an acceptance in some cases
is understood to relate to conditions
som what different from those laid
down by the American government.
As to Cuba, the American terms de-
mand the evacuation of the island
without specifying the futuue form of
government.
