 steamer
 Tn the afternoon a French coasting steamer arrived here from Fort de France seeking assistance, as all the country was burned up; the stock was dying; all the plantations were charred; the country people were Hooking into the towns, and famine was feared The steamer was loaded with food of all sorts and was sent back to Martinique at D. m. The captain of this vessel reported that some thirty persons left St. Pierre by the 6 o'clock beat Thursday morning for Fort de France, and consequently were saved
 All attempts to get to St. Pierre are barred by fire. The closest observation possible showed houses still blazing and streets strewn with charred bodies. It is certain that the whole town and neigh boring country for miles were utterly de- stroyed, and 1t Is feared here that few II any of the inhabitants escaped.
 The volcano on the island of St. Vim cent has burst out in sympathy. A steam CT which returned from there last night reports that the northern third of the island was in flames and cut off from as- sistance by continuous stream Of burn ing lava, ashes falling In heavy showers as far as one hundred and fifty miles away Kingston, the capital of St. Vim cent is safe, but people here are very anxious as to the fate of that island.

THE PEOPLE FOR FLAT SAL

MI Chamberlain was elected gov

definite that the common people un-
derstood.

He went so far as to say that II ne
had the power he would call a special
session and enact that law before the
officials elected for the next four years
enter on their terms of office.
That meant something definite. IL
meant about $2OO,OO TO the taxpayers
of Oregon.
The Oregonian, that spoke for the
Fulton-Furnish combination, said there
was nothing in It "for the boys"
II told the truth. but "the boys II
smoke for did not win the approba

MIR. Chamberlain had a good pro

gram. The people have endorsed ina
program, and that program Will g

the reason why and defeat the mel

HOW CHAMBERLAIN AND FUR
NlSH RAN AT HOME.

Now the election is over men may
take a clearer view of the availability
of their party candidates from the re-
turns. Take the candidates for gov
ernor and compare their votes at
their respective homes, then we be-
lleve we are warranted in the state
ment that the most uncompromlsing
partisan will not claim that Mr.. Fur
nlshs election would have been for
the best interests of the state Here
are comparisons based on official re
turns:
In 1900 Mckinley carried Umatilla
county by 337 plurality. In 1902 Fur
nish lost Umatilla, his home county
by 500 votes.
In 1900 Mckinley carried Multno
nah county by 55l2 plurality In 1902
Furnish lost Multnomah county
Chamberlain's home, by $50 votes.
That is how the men ran at theil
homes. With such a verdict from
the people who know them best we
do not think any regrets will be vast
ed on Mr.. Furnish. On the contrary
IL will bring a feeling of relief tina
the candidates who made his fgh

He would have been elected If he
had received the organized labor vote
OF Oregon.
He did receive a large Republican
vote. and also received a very ilatter'
ing labor vote.
The vote on his office only proves
the necessity OF better work among
the labor organizations on the line OF
education.
Organized labor has not fully under
stood the importance Of the issues in
volved over the election of a reform
state printer.
The office, under past methods, has
been used 10 the detriment of the tax
payer and the enrichment of poll
ticians beyond all reason.
Organized labor should now fight L
