O'CLOCK SATURDAY
FIRST SESSION 5STH CONGRESS-
Uncle Joe Heard No Motion TO Adjourn
Until All business Had Been
Transacted.

WASHINGTON. June 30-Promptly
at 10 o'clock tonight Vice President
Fairbanks in the senate and Speaker
Cannon in the house declared the final
adjournment Of the first session of the
fifty ninth congress.
For the first time congress adjourn
ed on a day which closed the fiscal
year. Other sessions have adjourned
before and after the 30th, but the ses-
sion today ended the day on which the
government strikes its balance and
closes its books.
There were some interesting scenes
to mark the end which came when
there was less than quorum in
ither house. Many senators and rep
resentatives who believed adjourn
ment would come early in the day.
made preparations to leave in the af
ternoon and not remain for the clos
ing scenes. An error in the enroll
ment of the sundry appropriation bill
caused quite a furry about the capt.
tai 1t was found by Secretary Root
after it had been signed by the presi-
dent that the appropriation of s3,000,-
900 for a site for a public building in
Washington provision. which had been
eliminated by congress. appeared in
the copy. After some perplexity the
error was corrected by joint resolu-
tion.
The president came to the capitol
about 10 o'clock in anticipation of
early adjournment and when he found
there would be a delay he took lunch
con at the capitol and visited the con-
gressional library in the afternoon.
Speaker Cannon rigidly carried out
his intention of keeping back the ad-
journment resolution until the bills
were all passed. and the hour for ad-
journment was not known until a
short time before the gavels fell in the
senate and house.
Both houses met early, but a long
adjournment was necessary in the af-
ternoon to enable enrolling clerks to
catch up to the bills that had passed
The closing of the senate was formal
and without interest. In the house
there was the usual performances
amusing speeches and songs during
long waits. and members made the
best of the hottest day of the season
No business of importance aside from
completing pending legislation was
transacted in either house.

PORTLAND, June 30.--According to
meager reports received, the big oil
tank of the Union Oil company, To-
Gated on the hillside at University
park. in this city. exploded few mo-
ments before midnight with n terrific
conclusion, which shook the earth as
far south as East Portland. giving the
people the impression an earthquake

Fire broke out, and the flaming oil
is said to be flowing down the hillside

The point where the oil tanks are To-
Gated is about mile and half south

dock. several large mills and about
two miles upstream from st. Johns,
where there are also large saw mills.
Great fear is entertained that the oil
will get into the river and float down
to these structures.

Lying all around our way

From the pleasures of the day.
Let US stick the ears and noses
Gently on with sealing wax
And prepare some soothing doses
That will cover up the tracks.

Trim the singed and matted hair.

Some retreat in which to wait
Quietly till we recover
From the day we celebrate.

From the fathers handed down
With hurrah and trimming measure
To get out and paint the town.
For our daddies licked the British.

To recover from the thing
With your fingers singed and bleeding

A JUNE PICTURE.

There's a cloudless sky and a stretch
of meadow,
Stippled with clover and daisy
blooms.
A farmhouse old in the orchard shad-
ow,
A hum of bees in the lilac plumes.
There's a CHEEKY call from the hazy
marshes,
A tinkle of COW bells fain and low,
The wandering brook in the sunshine
flashes.
A song of June in it's ripping flow.
There are slender tassels of alder
swinging
In perfect time to the perfumed
breeze.
And nesting birds in the woodland,
flinging
Their joyous carols from budding
trees.
There's a lakes blue calm in the dis
lance lying,
With a cliffs gray turrets rehecteo
deep;
And green-fringed shores where the
trees are trying
To guard for season the lines
sleep.
And over all rests a golden splendor.
That hints of glories we cannot see,
That thrills the heart with a promise
tender.
OF coming gladness in days to be.

RETURNED WITHOUT HIS PRISONERS

Sheriff Murphy arrived in Battle
Mountain last Friday evening from
Chicago where he went several weeks
ago with the necessary papers for the
arrest of H. and r. Peacock and Jas.
E %Finnegan, who were indicted by
the last Grand Jury of this county
for defrauding residents of this county.
Before Mr.. Murphy reached Chicago
he says the men were released from
custody, but securing the necessary
papers from the Governor of Illinois,
began a search for his men, but only
succeeded in finding Finnegan, the
other two having left the State.
After leaving Chicago, Governor
Deneen revoked his warrant of arrest
for the man, claiming that Finnegan
was 10 u fugitive from justice.
On reaching Ogden Mr.. Murphy
was served with a writ of habeas cor
pus r%eturnabie forthwith TO Judge of
second judicial District of Utah. Mr..
Murphy and his prisoner appeared be-
fore the Judge and for twelve days the
case was argued with the result that
Finnegan was discharged.
Governor Sparks took a very active
part in trying to hold Finnegan in
the State and wired Murphy at Ogden
that he would come on to assist him
if necessary.

Proclamation by the Governor.

In compliance with law. it is re-
commended that Monday, April 9th,
1906, be observed as
ARBoR DAY,
by the people of the State OF Nevada,
and it is suggested that the day be
observed by planting trees, shrubs
and vines in the promotion of forest
growth and culture for the adornment
of public and private grounds, places
and ways"
In selecting, planting and raising
trees | suggest that different varieties
be given attention, not only for or
nsmental, but useful purposes. For
forest culture the nut producing
should be considered. The pecan will
bear at the age of seven years, and
with profitable results Hickory,
black walnut and pine nut are of
quick growth and valuable.
Fruit trees and vines are indispens.
able, both for ornament and use. Our
population is increasing rapidly and
thousands OF new homes must be es-
tablished. Probably the greater num-
Der will be humble at FIRST, but with
adornment of trees and shrubbery,
grass and flowers, they can be made
comfortable and attractive.
The day named is a holiday for the
public schools Of the State. Instruc-
tive aud appropriate exercises will
probably create greater interest on
the part Of the pupils, and it might
to suggested that about the new homes
which are being erected from the grass
roots, the hardwood varieties of trees
should be planted, which are of long
er life, and are more valuable.
