While the United States senate pigeon
holes the )r, posed constitutional ament-
ment for lie election OF senators by
popular vu;t, the people OF Oregon are
about to test a device for effecting the
same Oh ,.ct without the consent OF the
federal government. A recent law OF
that state provides that any state conven-
ton NAV make nomination for United
States senator, and that such nominee
shall be entitled to have his name on the
official ballot. Voters are thereby en-
abled to declare their preference for
United States senator, regardless OF their
preference for other officers, and it is as
sumed that the legislature in choosing
senators will be influenced by the popular
vote. 1t is not compelled, of course, to
obey. But, whenever it is OF the same
political complexion as the popular can
lidate for senator, it would hardly have
the temerity to reject him; and in the
case OF a large popular vote in his favor,
even hostile legislature might be en-
barrassed

THE BOOM CASE DECIDED.
Dispute Between HumptuIips Boom Companies
Decided by Judge Rice.

Dispute Between tiumptuIips Boom Companies
Decided by Judge Rice.
The trial of the case of the Grays Har-
Dor Boom Co. vs. the Humptulips Boom
4 River Imp. Co. was finished before
Judge Rice, of Lewis county, Friday
afternoon, and the decision was victory
for the former company, and the costs
were placed on the Humptulips Co.
Judge Rice did not decide the matter Of
the right of the Humptulips Co. to main
tain its boom Immediately above that o
the Grays Harbor Co., but held that the
upper boom must in no way interfere
with the free passage of logs consigned
tn the boom below, and found from the
testimony that the boom of the Hump
tulips Co., that went out in a freshet last
winter, was not properly constructed,
and, if rebdilt, must be 80 constructed as
to neither interfere with the free passage
of logs, nor endanger the boom below.
The case occupied Judge Rice elk days
and the testimony developed an inter-
e>ting tale of the companies competing
for the boomage of the Humptulips logs.
he Grays Harbor Co. has operated a
boom at the mouth of the Humptulips
| river tor several years, and recently the
I. B. 4 r. 1. Co. was formed, and built
A boom in the river above that of the old
company. The G. H. Co. sought to en-
join the construction of the new boom
within the limits of the river covered by
its plat, but, before a hearing could be
had on the application for temporary
injunction, the work had go far progressed
that Judge Linn denied the temporary
injunction, ard held that the right OF tire
new company to erect the boom should
| be tried on its merits, and this is what
has been tried before Judge Rice.
In the course of the trial it was brought
out that the new boom was so poorly
constructed that it went out during a
freshet, and, but for the boom of the
Grays Harbor Co., II or Is million feet
of logs would have gone out to sea, and
that an attempt had been made by the
| Humptulips Co. to accuse the &. II. Co.
of causing it's boom to be blown up, and
one of the sensations of the trial was the
introduction of testimony to the effect
| that efforts had been made to show that
the boom had been blown up by direc-
ton Of the Grays Harbor Co. These
tactics reacted on the Humptulips COM
pany, and evidence was adduced to show
that that company had endeavoaed to
procure testimony that would connect
the g. II. Co. with the blowing up CT
the boom, and, the officials of the former
company were obliged to admit the fail
nre OF those efforts. 1t was also shown
that the failure of the upper boom to
allow the free passage of logs consigned
to the lower boom caused great delay in
getting the logger's product to market.

SLOW PROGRESS OF SILK.

/ Silk is said TO have been first brought
from Persia into Greece 323 B. c.. and
! from India into Rome in A. D. 274. Dur
ing the reign of the Roman Emperor IT,
berius a law was made in the senate
lforbidding men to disgrace themselves
/ by wearing silk. which was only ct for
women; and SO little were the Euro
peans acquainted VITA its culture that
it was then supposed to grow upon trees
like cotton.
In 555 two monks brought from Germ
da, in the East Indies, to Constantine
pie, the eggs Of some silkworms, which
having Matched. they fed the young in
Isects with. mulberry leaves; and they
soon multiplied to such degree. that
manufactures of silk were erected at
ConstantiEople. at Athens, al Thebes,
and at Corinth.
In 1880 King Roger Of Sicily brought
manufacturers of silk from Greece and
settled them at Palermo. where they
taught the Sicilians the art of breeding
silkworms and Of spinning and weaving
their silk
From Sicily the art was carried all
over Italy. then to Spain. and q little
before the time Of Francis It reached
the south Of France.
Henry " of France was at great
pains to introduce manufactures of silk.
into his kingdom, and by his persever-
ance at last brought them to toIerable
perfection.
IN the year 1886 the ladies Of some
noblemen first appeared in England in
silks, at a ball In KeniIworth Castle, IN
Warwickshire.
IN the year 1920 the art of weaving
silk was first introduced into England.
and in the year 1719 Lombe's machine
for throwing silk was erected at Derby

tanning 1856 wheels turned by water

the marvellous reconciliation between
them upon all the fundamental truths
and principles Of life and development.
The utmost that Prof. Gates has de-

be summed up in the simple old teach

BRAIN BUILDING

Az las W seem nearing our goal.
Mind Art is coming to the aid of new
thought" says Irene Clark Stafford in
the st. Louis Iobe-Democrat," and the
whole problem Of making ourselves
what We ought TO be is reducing itself
to glorious scierce. Prof. Elmer

building and character molding for a
long time, has at length achieved q

cess goes OF. II is ali question Of
brain cells and the definite physical
change produced In them is the measure

Every thought that enters the mind is

brain by q change in the structure Of
the cells The change is physical
change more or less permanent The
character OF the brain cell therefore
records perfectly the character of the
thoughts. good or bad, that have been
brought to bear upon it.
II this is not bringing every work TO
judgment with every secret thing.
whether It be good or whether 1t be
evil, It is hard to say what 1t is, and 1t
is a little tiresome to have the goal Of
the new thought put so periIously near
the terrors Of the old. There is moth
