in a respectable minority on the racks

land are to-day conscious of rushing
the season. Three weeks away the
days for donning the merry bache-

George E. Chamberlain, Democrat
and Henry NJ. Cake, Republican, to-
night closed the campaigns for the
nomination of United States Senator
and each express confidence in the
winner in Mondays election, and that
all that is necessary to verify the ac-

votes.
Back OF Judge Cake has been the
Republican press OF the State which is
equivalent to saying that almost every
newspaper in the State, the fact that
Oregon is normally about a $4,000
majority Republican and is an en-

governor, of genial personality and
broadness of character which has
won for him reelection to the guber-
material chair two years ago against
overwhelming odds. Out of this race
grows an anomalous and almost ludi

who will be elected Monday, will be

legislator to vote for the candidate for
United States Senator, irrespective OF
any party affiliations. who shall re-

There is also a possibility that
there will be some Democrats in the

turc weather and all Gotham is
bounding ahead OF the old established
conventions. Green grass as well as
corn has for the first time in many
years been proclaimed luxury by
signs forbidding its trampling

 Alabama. which has been compiled oy the Mobile Basin and Tennessee fuFer Association.
 It was prepared to be exhibited at the southern, Commercial Congress In Washington this winter and snoWs every watercourse worthy of the name in the state. The map shows one thing that Is not generally known. Alabama has the greatest mileage for navigation of any state in the Union. except Arkansas. but the supremacy of Alabama in river navigation is demonstrated by the fact that the nayigabie rivers of the state extend to the most remarkable body of iron ore. coal and limestone deposits there are anywhere known in the world. The navigable streams also penetrate prolific agricultural tracts. and an in- caIculabie wealth of cement material deposited in various places.
 The Alabama river is now navigable for fifty miles above Montgomery. practically at all seasons.

 Cotton. too, is movinr to a certain extent, and these coupled with hte regular full fall movement of shipped wholesale goods keeps the cars on the jump. Montgomery's share of the goods sent out Is exceptionally heavy and prosperity has retu: ed, as far as this end of the line Is concerned.
