Republicans eIee, Democratic Senator

George T.. Chamberlain Democrat.
governor OF the state OF Oregon. was
elected Un.tel States senator BY a
Republican legislature. Although
Chamberlain is the peoples choice for
United States senator and there wen
enough members OF the Legislature
pledged TO elect him. a determined ei-
fort was made for months past to de-
feat him. Senator Charles W. Fulton
whom Chamberlain will succeed. II Is
alleged. repeatedly urged the legisla'
tors to elect Republican instead of a
Democrat. despite the fact that a ma
joi It,, of the members were pledged to
the people to vote for Chamberlain.
The election OF Chamberlain may solve
the problem of electing senators by
popular vote without infringing upon
the constitutional provisions for such
elections.

A CORROBORATIUN.
OF Interest to Snow Hill Readers.

For months Snow Hill citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Snow
Hill residents. Would these prominent
people recommend remedy that had
not proven reliable? Would they con-
firm their statements after years had
elapsed if personal experience had not
shown the remedy to be worthy of en-
dersement? No stronger proof of merit
can be had than cures that have stood
the test of time. The following state
ment should carry conviction to the
mind of every Snow Hill reader.

threatened to destroy the $780, DOC, 600

gency night force, which set about
emptying the forty other tanks scat
tered about the plant, which occupies
two large blocks.
The bremen prevented the blaze from
spreading beyond the tank where the
explosion occurred. They suffered ser

Perhaps the most notable award in
the present distribution is the payment
of $780, 900 on death claims that had al

It is estimated that, with this last
apportionment> of. bonuses, the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company has
disbursed in voluntary payments over
and above. any promises to pay, five
and a quarter millions iof dollars.
These extra payments are made from
a fund which is assembled in the fol-
lowing way: Whenever a period of de-
creased mortality or of lessened eX-
pense in proportion to the volume of
business or of excess interest earnings
has continued long enough to furnish a
substantial surplus, it is applied in this
way. 1t is the consistent policy of the
company to share with. policy-holders
all earnings in excess of the estimated
probabilities upon which their policies
are based, say its managers.
