FAIR BILL PASSES.
Senate Votes to Extend Aid 10 Lewis
and Clark Exposition.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Without dis
senting vote the Lewis and Clark expo
sition bill passed the senate at $50
Yesterday afternoon, carrying an aggre-
gate appropriation Of 81, ,775, 900. Sec
tion IS of the bill, providing for the
construction Of a memorial building
was stricken out; the number of ma
tional commissioners was reduced from
seven to three; an amendment was at
tached absolutely closing the exposition
and grounds on Sunday, and the frank
ing privilege denied to the national and
state commissions. Aside from these
changes, the bill was passed in sub
stantially the shape in which it recent
ly came from the senate committee.
The Lewis and Clark bill came up
unexpectedly at 9:l5. The attendance
at this time was slight, but as the de-
bate proceeded, senator's returned to
the chamber, until, at the time the
bill was passed, there was fair aver
age attendance. Twice during the af-
ternoon it looked as if the bill would
have to 60 over until some future time.
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, made a
rather vicious attack upon the large
amount carried by the bill, and threat
ened to force fight, which might have
been temporarily disastrous.
Later Senator Allison became critical
of the phraseology of the bill, and but
for the Intervention of Senator Fulton
would have forced the senate to ad-
iourn without taking action on the bill.
The committee amendments were most
ly adopted without discussion, but the
last committee amendment, relating to
Sunday closing, provoked a protracted
debate, and in the end resulted in the
adoption of an amendment offered by
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, closing
both buildings and grounds on Sun
days.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
PLAN FOR GOOD ROADS.
Linn Supervisors VIII Work Together
on a Common Plan.

Albany-Pursuant to the call OF
Judge Palmer, the road supervisors Of
the county met with the county court,
now in session, and the question Of
general road improvement was dis
cussed in all its phases. The discus.
sion was perfectly informal, and the
methods in use in the various districts
of the county were compared, both as
to amounts of money expended and re.
suits obtained. There were 27 road
supervisors present, being all the sup.
ervisors in the county except one. The
members of the court and two road
masters were also present.
As result of the meeting a uniform
system of road building and improve.
ment was adopted for use all over the
county. The grades will be Of uni
form width, the gravel covering Of uni
form depth, etc. More money will be
expended on road improvement than in
years gone by. Linn county has re-
ceived from the state this year moneys
to the amount of $2,146, representing
this county's share of the moneys re-
ceived by the state of Oregon from the
sale of government lands. 1t has been
decided to devote this money to the i'm
provement of the public roads in Linn
county. The money will be expended
in those districts which are willing to
help themselves.
Every district will be given $75 of
this money at the start, provided the
district contributes like sum. In
this way it is thought the people of
every district will be encouraged to
spend some time and money in the
improvement of their roads, and that
gradually an interest will be aroused
in the good roads movement which will
result in passable highways over the
eptire county,

Biggest Spruce on Earth.

Astoria-W. S. Linkhart, of Neha-
lem City, has discovered what is be-
lieVed to be the largest spruce tree in
the world. The monster tree is locat-
ed in Gods valley, on the south fork
of the Nehalem river, about IL miles
from Nehalem City. The tree meas
ures 81 feet in diameter and SO feet in
circumference. Its height was not
measured, but Linkhart expresses the
belief that it is easily monarch of the
northern forests in this respect as we'll
as in others. Gods valley is the loca-
tion of the largest trees ever discovered
in Northwestern Oregon.

Russia Is Excited.

St. Petersburg, Feb, 1.-THE news
that Japan had duplicated her tactics
at the opening of the China-Japanese
war by torpedo attack ON the Russian
ships off Port Arthur, created intense
excitement. Details of the attack are
anxiously awaited. Extra editions of
the morning papers printed early in the

Official Messenger, conveyed the intelli-
gence to the population of the capital
and dispelled any lingering hopes that
war could be averted. All are eager to
go to the front.

Wood Is No Cheaper.

Pendleton - Notwithstanding that
there is a good supply of wood on hand,
prices remain the same as they were
when the cry went up last fall that
there would be scarcity. The best
quality of wood is still selling at 81

early in the season. Wood has been
at higher price this season than for a
number Of years, although more coal

Japan Cuts Cable to cOrea.

Paris, Feb. 9.-The French foreign
Office was advised this afternoon that
the Japanese have cut the cable con-

Of this action is believed to prevent
news of the operations of the japanese
reaching the Russians, which was pos
sible, no matter how closely censored
the dispatches sent might be. Follow
ing the breaking off of relations between
Russia and Japan and the cutting Of
the cable is regarded here as significant
of the purpose of the Japanese to begin

evening, Oct. 18th. Tickets 80 cents. OF
the lecture recital it is said:
This unique combination Of the functions
of lecturer and concert pianist, original
with MIR. Perry, is meeting a general need,
and finding universal favor throughout the
country. Mr.. Perry's purpose in adopting
the lecture-recital is two-fold: first. to add
to the benefit derived by students from lis
tening to his programs, and second, to pop
ularize the best in pianofOrte music with
the general public. The method he employs
is to preface each number of carefully Sc
lected program with brief verbal analysis,
calling attention to its origin, form, salient
characteristics, and descriptive or emotion
al significance: The result is, while giving
to music students and amateurs imfOrma-
ton and suggestions of value to them from
an educational standpoint, at the same
! time to render each composition Ineligible
and consequently enjoyable to every listen
er, even to those who have not the least
technical training in the art.
No one who possesses or desires to pos
sess any degree of musical culture, can az
ford to miss the opportunity Of becoming
better acquainted with the masterpieces
of the great tone-poets to be presented by
Mr.. Perry on Wednesday evening next.
