Then Mrs. Wood. her three children. Leonard. Osborne and Louise; the stenographer. three nurses and servant also disembarked.
 General Wood. Major I.aine and the private secretary were at once taken to the United States dispatch yacht Kanawha, which was lying nt anchDr near by and of which Lieutenant Car. penter is commander. Mrs. Wood and the remainder of the family. as they are not immune from yellow fever. will he the guests of Dr. Doty and Mrs. Doty at their home at the quaran- tine station until Thursday, when the five days required shall have elapsed.
 Then the yacht will take on board Miss Wood and will steam away for Long Island sound and as far east as the south shore of Cape Cod. The children will visit relatives in the west.
 Woods Recovery Rapid.
 Surgeon I.aine said that the recovery of General Wood since sailing from Cuba on Saturday morning was rapid. He was brought on board the Morro Castle in the early hours of the morn ing in litter. being too weak to walk.
 To reporter General Wood said that affairs in Cuba were tranquil.
 ~I have received from all classes the most earnest inquiries as to my health all during my illness." continued Gen eral Wood. Of course I can but feel pleased that I have so many friends there. was working hard to finish affairs, and my Illness has nterfercd I learned on my arrival that the cleo. toral laws have passed, so as soon as TtluIll slihll bIhtI lut iNo tltNAibhS necessary.
 'In eight months everything should be in readiness to turn over to the new Cuban government. I expect to re- turn to Havana in three weeks.
 "In the present unfinished state of the government the merchants on the island are unwilling to venture in any line of trade. and business cannot be called good. The Spanish merchant Is a cautious person. and that can best be explained when l say that l believe there was not one failure in Havana during the Spanish-American war.
 "I am now only waiting to get well and to hasten back to my work"
 Major I.aine said they brought the patient on board the Morro Castle at 5 o'clock in the morning, although the vessel did not sail until half past o'clock in the afternoon, to avoid any demonstration by the people.

 The heaviest man that lived,
 Weighs upward of fifty stone.

 Mir. Lambert had been keeper of the old county bridewell at Leicester and, despite his physical immensity, was Il very intelligent and active person. A Kentish innkeeper named Palmer, weighing only $50 pounds. visited Mir. Lambert and appears to have been deeply mortified at his own infcriority, for on returning home he was sudden ly taken Ill and died. MT. Lambert weighed 739 pounds just before his death.

Benton eounty's senator and
representative in the legislature
have done well in serving and
guarding the Interests of the
eounty thus far. There are,
however, other matters of much
Importance to the taxpayers fer
which 1t is hoped that sufficient
time yet remains to obtain reme-
dies. The compensation of the
sheriff, clerk and recorder (if
Ehe latter Office is TO continue)
should be placed upon the fee
system, so that parties procuring
their services should pay the
bill. The Office of county re-
eorder should be abolished so
that the services required by this
officer should be performed by
the county clerk. The county
treasurer should be made the
tax collector for the county, in
cluding all delinquent taxes,
and the sheriff relieved of those
duties. The salary of the coun-
ty judge should be reduced TO
not exceed six hundred dollars
per annum. These changes
should be made to begin at the
expiration Of the term of the
present incumbents. Above all
things Our members should make
a strong effort to bring about a
caucus if they have not already
exhausted all efforts to nominate
q candidate in such caucus, and
thereafter use their best efforts
to elect the nominee so selected.
The republicans of this county
are not likely to feel satisfied if
the will of the majority of re-
publicans is defeated by a per-
slstent standing out of the mi
norlty to prevent caucus.

HOUSE ACTED WISELY,

The bill asking for che estab-
lishment Of an Eastern Oregon
industrial school and experiment
station, was defeated in the
house Friday morning by a vote
of 28 to 26, six members being
absent. The wisdom of this
action will not be questioned by
anyone in tho state who has a
sincere interest in the college.
Every argument offered against
division of that institution or
the establishment of permanent
substatioas, is applicable to this
question. That our representa-
tives are indefatigable and effect
I've workers is evidenced by the
following from the Statesman,
descriptive of the fight against
this measure:
Zone of the hardest fights ever
seen in the house OF representa-
tives, came up yesterday mora
ing, when the bill for an Eastern
Oregon industrial school and ex-
pertinent station came up for
final passage. Originally the
frieads of the bill had planned to
make 1t a bzanch agricultural
college, and 1t was proposed to
transfer for the use of the insti-
tuition the Eastern Oregon insane
asylum lands at Union-62o
acres of fine farming lands. 1t
was also provided that $4,000
should be appropriated for build
Ing and equipment, and $5,o
per year for maintenance.
"The bill was champiened by
Messrs. McAllister, Dresser and
Nation, all three of which gen.
tlemen made eloquent appeals
for the SUCCESS of the bill.
speaker Reeder, having
called Representative Butt te
the chair, addressed the house iu
fayer Of the bill, urging its pas.
sage. He made an eloquent
plea, but it was useless, the bill
going down to defeat, lacking
emily three votes of a majority,
The opposition to the bill was
the best organized Of any case
yet seen during the present ses'
sien."
