Oregon Election Shows Trend.

Representative Bowers of Mississippi. vice chairman of the democratic Com gressional committee, says the Oregon election is an indication of the revolt of the people against the stand pat policy of the republican party.
 "In 1904" said MT. Bowers today, oregon gave President Roosevelt 42,0o0 majority out of a total of 95, 900 This year, two years later. Oregon returns to office with an increased majority Cover nor Chamberlain, democratic incumbent for the past four years reduces the ma jorty in both Congressional districts given the republican candidates and on popular vote for United States sena- tor. against the immense majority given President Roosevelt, offers the republican managers the cold consolation of bare five thousand majority for the republican nominee. The issue of the revision of the tariff was presented by the Oregon dem ocrats and it was dwelt upon in all news papers which supported the democratic nominees Inasmuch as the maJorities re- ceived by republican candidates who were elected were the smallest since 1898 dem ocrats may take some comfort from the Oregon outcome and gird themselves for fighting a winning battle for the control

South caroIlnians Retain Seats.

Representative J. C. Patterson and As bury r. Lever of South Carolina, are to retain their seats in the House accord ing to the unanimous report of elections committee No. l. The contests brought against them were principally for the purpose of getting contest money and in that they have been successful. The com mittee in it's report issued today points out to the contestants that their griev- ance would be best aired through the judiciary and not the legislative branch Of the government.
 "If any citizen of South Carolina, says the report, who was entitled to vote under the constitution of 1868. Is now de- prived by the provisions of the present constitution, he has the right to tender himself for registration and for voting and in case his right is denied to bring suit in a proper court for the purpose of enforcing his right or recovering dam ages for its denial A majority of the committee doubt the proprfety in any event of denying these southern states representation in the House pending a final settlement of the whole question in proper proceedings by the supreme court of the United States"

Town Almost Washed Away.

Johnstown, Pa June IA cloudburst at Hooversville. Somerset county, eighteen miles north of here, today caused Stony creek to rise suddenly here and portions of the lower part of the city are under water At the Franklin street bridge con- meeting the city with Kernville, where the creek narrows, 1t rose eighteen feet. The water Is up to the first floor in many houses and business in the vicinity of Franklin bridge has been suspended.
 Island Park, a pleasure resort two miles from the city, has been practically washed out of existence Fortunately the flood came at time when the park was de- serted and no lives were lost. The only Ia tality resulting from the floods so far re- ported is the killing of an unknown wom- an. who was struck by a train while standing on the famous old stone bridge watching the high water.
 The damage along Sandy creek IS es- timated at $000O.
 At Hpoversville an unoccupied frame school house was swept away, and coun- ty bridge was washed from its founda- tions, Today's flood is said to have been the worst since the Jamestown disaster of May 31. 1889.

Would ReaSSess Tennessee CO,
 in Matter of Taxes
ABOUT SGOO,OOO INVOLVED
Allegation Made That Corporation Has Been Assessed at Inadequate Value and Has Been Grossly
 estlmated.

Nashville, June 7-Proceedings were in stltuted at Altamont Grundy county, to- day whereby 1t Is sought to re-assess the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany in the matter of taxes for the years 1903, 1904 1905 and 1906 The amount in- volved is estimated at not less than S6OO,OO0
 State Revenue Agents James R. Jetton is prosecuting in behalf of the state and Grundy county the latter being the cor poration's legal headquarters. He alleged that for many years the corporation has been assessed at an inadequate value. and grossly under estimated in making up the tax lists. Except in the years named, the statue of limitations applies,
 It is the states contention that the cor poration should pay taxes on the actual market value of the aggregate of it's stock and bonds less the amount assessed on the companys tangible property in this and other states. It Is admitted that the company should have credit for the amount of thls latter assessment but it is contended by the state that the amount of these several assessments is far short of the actual cash market Value or the sloch and bonds of the company, and that upon this difference the state and county are entitled to collect.
 An accounting not having yet been or dered. the figures are not known, but 1t is estimated by the state that this all legged difference will average an excess of/sO0OO.OOO for each year involved
 The company's capital stock, preferred and common, was recently increased and is now s90.OOooOO. The bonded indebted ness Is about $15,000,O00.

There is another material used in inc manufacture of alcohol which is much cheaper than corn. This Is molasses of the lowest quality.
