Denman has completed the programs and
sent them out to those who are expected
to take part in the exercises so that they
may be ready to do their part when the
time comes to act
The primary election law under which
the people of Oregon will select candi-
date places greater responsibilities upon
the individual voter than had % be ac-
cepted by him under the former system.
Under the old method he could shoulder
the responsibility of selecting candidates
upon the leaders of the political party to
which he belonged and accept or reject
their choice as best suited his mind.
Under present conditions every in1ivid-
ual voter IS leader, and if the selection
is bad each is personally responsible.
1t behooves the voter therefore to scan
closely the record and qualifications of
those who offer themselves as candidates
for office, as well as to examine the
utterances which fall from their lips or
the statements of themselves and friends
to discover if possible whether or not
they are sounding as brass and tinkling
cymbals.

BELLFOUNTAIN.

The warm rain for the last few days
has filled the creeks to the brim and
caused grass and crops to take on more
thrifty appearance. Stock of all kinds
are wintering in good condition.
Last Saturday night, at Simpson Chap
ell large and appreciative audience
assembled to enjoy a social entertain
ment under the auspices of the Ladies
Aid. The literary and musical pro-
gram was rendered in the large audience
room and was of good selection and well
rendered. The Bellfountain Orches.l q
furnished some fine instrum entail music,
after which all went down to the base
ment hall where lunch baskets were
auctioned off. About 5000 was the
result of the sale, some baskets going as
high as $500

FULTON PRAISED.

Oregon's senatorial represen-
tation is attracting more atten-
ton in the East than at Home.
Following the courtesies to the
junior senator at the time of his
appointment, many compliments
have been paid the elder member
of the states delegation, One
of the brightest editorials that
appeared in prominent eastern
papers following Senator Full
toms able opening of the rate
Legislation debate in the Senate
was that in the Indianapolis
Morning Star, as follows:
Senator Fulton of Oregon
seems to have acquitted himself
well in the first noteworthy ap-
pearance on the floor of the
Senate in debate with men like
Spooner, Foraker and Bailey.
1t is three years now since Mr..
Fulton was elected, and he has
done his work unostentatiously
and we'll, impress!ng his ability
upon all who have seen him, and
yet avoiding the haste with
which new senators are tempted
to precipitate themselves into
discussions. He is a man of
fine talents and very great in
dustry. His habit of mastering
the details of his subject and
thinking it through was revealed
in his prompt and cogent answers
to the questions which were shot
at him by the best lawyers in
the Senate.

The school census for the com
ing year will be made this week.
It must contain the names
OF all the children actually resid-
ing in each district of the county
not later than Feb. Is. Only the
names of these children who
have bona fda residence in
said district at this time can be
lawfully included in the said
census. Parents living temper
arily in a district have no legal
right to have their children
taken by the district clerk. Any
district clerk taking such child
rem will make himself liable to a
fine Of $25. The law requires
each district clerk to visit each
home and by interrogation of the
parents or guardian obtain GER
tain necessary data.
The clerks should rem mber
that the law does not allow a
child over twenty or under four
years of age to be included in the
census. After. the census has
been taken the said census re-
port must be submitted to the
legal voters of said district at the
annual school meeting for correc-
tions or alteration which occurs
on the third Monday of June each
year. Clerks should bear in
mind that they are, not to
forward the census reports to the
county superintendent, but to

FUM0R ABOUT c. & Z.
of Willamette Valley
Traction Company.

There is reason for maxim g
semi-ofhcial announcements that
still another transcontinental
railroad is headed for Portland,
and that. instead of entering
from the north. as in the case of
the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, it will come through
Central-Eastern Oregon aud the
Willamette Valley, says the Tele-
gram.
Furthermore, it can be stated
currently that it contenplates
coming into the CITY over the
proposed line of the Willamette
Valley Traction Company in
event the coveted franchise along
Front street is granted by the
City Council.
Iu support of this statement Of
intention, evidence of which
only lacks direct official
confirmation, 1t IS notable
that the promoters of the VIII
lamette Valley Traction Com
pany project has a building op-
ton on the entire system of the
Corvallis & Eastern Railroad
property, including all of the
roadbed, rolling stock and equip
ment of the line in operation
between Toledo, on Yaquina Bay,
to Idanha in Linn county to-
gether with a right of way COM
mittee with Mimic Pass. in the
Cascade range of mountains and
through Eastern Oregon to

ford direct route from the extreme

There is little doubt in the
minds of most members of Con-
gress that an adjournment will
be taken this session some time
during May. Following compile
ton of work on the rate-regula-
tion bill, Philippine tariff and
statehood propositions, there is
little of such urgent nature be-
fore Congress that the members
feel it incumbent upon them to
prolong this session. Appropria-
tions are to be held to the mini
mum, because of party condi-
tions, and the multitude Of
measures affecting only sections
of the country will be sub-ordi-
mated to the general sentiment
for an early adjournment.

Ocean, but recognizing Pori-
land as the natural commercial
center OF the Northwest, consum-
nation OF the deal hinges upon
action by the City Council on
the traction company's applica-
ton for the Front stTeetfTanchise
/. has been known that nego-
tiations for purchase OF the Cor
wallis & Eastern railroad have
been pending for several weeks
in the East, between A B. Han
mond and those interested behind
the Willamette Valley Traction
CompaHy's project, but it has
only recently leaked out that a.
oo-day option had been, secured,
acception or refusal depending
upon the outcome of negotia-
tions for a connection with Port
land. No. official information
could be secured, but it is under
stood, from reasonably reliable
forces, that the price agreed
upon is more than a million and
quarter.
Those in position to knew all
facts refuse to discuss the sub
ject at this time stating that any
announcement is premature and
without the sanction, but they
will not deny that there is
ground for it.
When seen this morning Man
ager A. WEIGH, of theWillamette
Traction Company, declined to
make any statement concerning
the transaction. as whatever fact
there was in it is not ripe for pub
lication, and that ali plans were
based upon the outcome of the
Front-street controversy.
Four miles of valley line
graded. The Willamette Valley
Traction Company has been con-
structing Portland-Salem line
from the Salem end, has COM
pleted grades for a distance of
four miles, and is awaiting
action of the Council upon the
franchise question to begin wolk
at both ends and rush the line to
early completion.
Promoters of the Valley Trac-
ton project have also announced
their intention to extend the line
from Salem south to Eugene and
to put out a system of feeders
wherever practicable and feasible
The Willamette Valley Com
pany, which is known TO have
interests in common with the
traction company, owns water,
electric light and power plants at
Eugene, Springfield, Albany,
Corvallis and other small Valley
towns, including those under the
Union Light & Power Company,
together with valuable water
power ri ights on the Santiam.
Thus it is not improbable
that the two systems will be
merged III event of satisfactory
Developments at this end. This
would mean a network of electric
and steam railways touching
things important, agricultural,
timber and mineral section of
the Valley, and would bring all
products from those points into
he Portland market.

BEFOGGING THE PEOPLE

making especially NY tie uOiiio-
cratic press, to befog the people
of the state concerning the elec-
ton of United States senators by
direct vote. The people are to
be beguiled into believing that
through the agency Of pledge
No. / they may elect senators.
A democratic journal publish
ed in Portland leads off in this
effort. In a recent issue it pub
fishes an editorial involving
execrable grammar, false as
sumptions and great mental
travail to prove that the people
are getting in the saddle
It exclaims: mo man who
feels that he is a superior to his
constituents need go to the leg
islature.' Certainly not, even
though his fellow citizens might
desire to become his constituents.
If he considers that the federal
constitution imposes upon him
the exclusive duty of electing a
United States senator without
the intervention of the people"
he need not make the race. This
is followed by a murky para
graph intended to show what
state legislatures have assumed to
be and TO do, then by this unwar-
ranted assertion: "Under pledge
No. 1 the candidate for the legisla-
ture binds himself in the event
of his election to abide by the
popular choice for United States
senate, leaving him no further
option''-in the choice of senator
than he has in the purely
formal, clerical work of proclaim
ing whom the voters have select
ed for state officers" Then
this remarkable editorial, re-
markable for its dense igno-
rance if nothing worse, notices
the expression of a sudden fear
''over the dreadful step. 1t is
always the case when the people
either take back some of the
powers which they have delegat-
ed or seek to exercise some of
their rights which had lain dor
mant.'
The fallacy of all this shines
conspicuously just here. The
people never had the right to
elect United States senators, so
this cannot be one "of their
rights which had lain dormant.
For the same reason they never
had power to elect such officers
for the Office of U. S. senator
did not exist previous to the
formation and adoption of the
federal constitution. The franz
ers of that instrument for wise
and sufficient reasons decided
that the people should not direct
ly elect United States senators.
If the people desire to acquire
the right to elect U. S. senators
by direct vote the constitution
must be changed in the manner
the instrument itself provides,
no one state may make this
change; the whole people by di-
rect vote may not do so.
Is is a we'll established princi-
pie OF law that there can be no
contract or binding agreement
in violation Of law. IF pledge
Nc. l really leaves the legislator
no option in the matter it con-
travenes the constitution, the
supreme law, and is null and
void ab initio
The trainers Of the primary
law had no purpose of enacting
law directly in conflict with
the constitution and of requiring
members of the legislature to
give a pledge, the operation of
which must involve them in the
commission of perjury.
The federal constitution does
impose upon the members of the
legislature of each state in the
