withdraws Bristol's Nomination and
Calls for Explanation.
President Roosevelt has withdrawn
from the senate the nomination of w.
G. Bristol as United States attorney
for Oregon, and then forwarded to
Mr.. Bristol copy of his letter to the
Coos Bay Land q Improvement COM
pan together with that company q
letter testifying to the authenticity of
the original.
Mr.. Bristol will be expected to make
a prompt explanation of this tran
saction, showing what excuse, If any,
there was for attempting to derive
fees from both parties to contract
when he was employed as attorney foI
one party.
If Mr.. Bristol fails to make salts
factory explanation, the president will
probably call for his resignation and
ask Senator Fulon to recommend some
one to take his place. If, however,
Mr.. Bristol has some valid excuse fol
writing this letter, an excuse which
he can back with evidence, it is bare
ly possible that his name may be sen
back to the senate.
1t will probably be ten days or TIVE
weeks before another move. is made.

STILLMAMPOINTERS
MAILS CIRCULAR LETTERS TO
DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.
Relates to Democratic Assembly at
Pendleton, February II, and
Registration of Voters.

A. ID. Stillman, chairman Of the
democratic county central committee,
has mailed a circular letter to demo-
cratic voters explaining the motive for
the democratic assembly at Pendle-
ton, Saturday, February II, and other
information. The letter is as follows:
All nominations for Office must be
made at the direct primary election
held on April 20, 1906.
In order for any candidate to get
on the official primary ballot, he must
file his petition with the requisite
signatures, on or before March 80
if for state and district offices. and
April for county Office.
The county assembly will select its
choice of candidates for each Office,
and submit such candidates to the
vote at the primary election.
Notwithstanding such action by the
assembly any person can file a petit
ton with the requisite signatures and
be voted for at the primary nominat-
ing election for the nomination, and
i uo R0Io bn0 FbUO hO WAAA
be the party candidate.
The needs and claims of all parts of
the county will be fully discussed at
the assembly, as we'll as the claims Of
all candidates, and it is obviously
wise to refrain from signing any petit
tions until the assembly has announc-
ed the platform.
The primary nominating election is
held on Apil 20, and will be conduct
ed by the same judges and clerks as
the general election to follow, and
vacancies will be filed in the same
way.
While all parties vote at the same
time and place, separate ballot boxes,
tally sheets and poll books are pro-
vided for each party.
The assembly will be very large
one. Every democrat intending to
attend is earnestly requested to send
me his name and precinct, if possible,
five days before the assembly, so that
may secure suitable hall and ar
range seats. A great deal of time of
the assembly will be saved if roll
of those attending .caD be handed to
the committee on credentials as soon
as it is appointed.
The assembly will apportion the
proper number Of voters to the four
newly created precincts, viz: Ferndale,
Fairview, South Reservation and
Riverside. A large delegation from
within the boundaries of each of these
new precincts is earnestly urged to
be present.
The democrats are entitled to at
least one judge and one clerk on the
election board in each precinct.
But if such appointment has been
omitted by the county court, the law
requires us to file our protest before
February 15. I desire the committee
in each precinct to see to it at once
that at least one judge and one clerk
on each board are democrats, and if
not SO in any precinct to advise me at
once.
Every democrat is urgently request
ed to register at as early a date as
possible, and certainly before the
assembly. Those who cannot register
before may do SO when here to the
convention. Sincerely,
A. d. STILLMAN,
Chairman.

reached the platform of the baggage
car. Down on his knees he went and
then getting down further laid fiat on
the little narrow platform. Putting
his arms down between the car and
the tank, in danger every minute of
having them crushed, be sought for
the air pipe, knowing that if he could
reach the hose and cut it the brakes
would work automatically and stop
the train. Four times he grasped the
air pipe. Each time he got hold
on the pipe the skin slipped from the
scalded flesh of his hands and the air
pipe went dangling away from him.
For the fourth time he had got a
bold on the pipe, and was praying that
he could hold it long enough to cut
the air, when the crash came, and he
was thrown out ON the ground. Other
wise he would have been crushed to
death between the car and the tank.
The ride of three miles was one of
the most thrilling two men have ever
taken in a railroad locomotive, for
the three miles was battle ground.
Engineer Swain and Fireman Morgan
knew that the other train was stop
ped at Bridal Veil, and they were
making every effort to stop their
train. Just as Fireman Morgan had
reached the throttle through the brok-
en- cab window he looked around and
saw that they were only a few hun
dred feet from the other train, and
then he jumped from the running
board. He landed on his head, cut
ting a severe cash over bis right eye
and scraping the flesh off one side of
his face.
The engine of the express had
ploughed its way through the Pull
man on the rear of the flyer standing
at the station. Both Car and engine
lay a tangled mass of wreckage, the
whole enveloped in cloud of scalding
steam. Those who had been in the
Pullman, unconscious of the destruc.
tion that was rushing down upon
them, lay dead and injured among
the debris.
When the crash occurred there was
the greatest excitement at Bridal
Veil and the entire population rushed
to the assistance of the injured.
There was but one physician in the
village and an appeal was at once sent
to Portland, where special train
containing physicians and Others was
at once made up and dispatched tc
