the center of the cyclone has passed
eastward.
According to weather bureau Off

today, as the barometer has risen
slightly since midnight The center
of the storm seemed TO center over
Seattle last night, where signs and
windows were broken by the force of
the 5O-mile hurricane In Portland
a SO-mile wind swirled through the
streets, driving heavy downpour be-
fore it. The storm is working direct

hood and tried to drive Wisner out
of the country. Bad blood grew out
of it and one of the Dulls rode onto
the Wisner place and tried to carry
off some personal property, and in the
struggle was shot. Wisner gave him
self up to the sheriff and pleaded
guilty. A trial would have taken his
homestead, and all his earthly be-
longings, and would have left his
family stripped and homeless. He
preferred to do time, and has been g
model prisoner, but his pardon was
unexpected. Governor Benson hat
promised to give the matter his con.
sideration, but his illness and final re.
moval to California made the case
hopeless at his hands.

case, he remembeed the little woman
with the pretty baby boy who came to
him for a few minutes in the excite
ment of the political campaign. There
will be happy reunion of the Wis
ner family out on the Molalla this
evening, when the father and mother
return to 'hcir home and the five chill
dren meet them. 1t was probably the
last Off, iaF act of this kind during tne
Bowerman administration, and this
mans name and the information
about the case do not come from any
state house press bureau, and only
accidentally leaked out to a lynx-eyed
reporter who was eavesdropping
around the Southern Pacific station
when Mrs. Wisner came to town.
In the meantime Bowerman has a
photograph of the little boy coming.

welfare of the state. Neither house
was able to organize a party caucus.
and will elect their presiding officers
ON open roll-call. Conservative ele-
ments in both houses made them
selves felt in the temporary organiza-
tion. The legislature Is a finer ap-
pearing body than has assembled In
Salem for many years, and the ladies'
at home who have not yet got the
franchise can be proud of their rep
resentatives at Salem. Fred Drager
will be chief clerk of the house with
out opposition, and g. H. Flagg chief
clerk of the senate, Both are very
competent men, and have no bad rec
ord for allowing bills to disappear

Barrett In Senate.
Senator w. N Barrett, Of Washing

of the senate when that body con-
vened for its twenty-sixth biennial
session this forenoon, and E.aH.
Flagg, Of Columbia county, was elect
ed temporary chief clerk.
The senate was called to order
promptly at 10 o'clock by Senator w.
H. Albee, of Portland, and upon an
nouncing that the first business would
be the election of temporary presi-
dent, Senator N. j. Sinnott, of The
Dalles, placed the name of Senator

Committees Named. ~
Senator Barrett after thanking the
members for the honor conferred up
on him proceeded to state that the
first business would be the election

A motion was then made that Gre

lnlS IOTtnOOn a l1ttle woman from
Mulino, Clackamas county, appeared
at the gates of the Oregon state prison
and held out paper signed by Acting
Governor Jay Bowerman, which re-
stored her husband to Liberty, and
thereby hangs a little story of senti-
| ment that does credit to the heart and
soul of the man from Gillian county,
who refused pardon to Ross, the
Portland banker, who was backed by
all the wealth of the state of Oregon,
personal influence Of the supreme
court, the big corporations, and the
political four hundred of both par
ties. And all he asked of the little
woman was picture Of a bright baby
boy she carried from her humble
home to see Bowerman when he was
a candidate last fall, and visited Clack
amas county. He made her no prom
ise then, but told her to go back home
and take care of the five children.
Mrs. Wisner did so, and was com
pletHly surprised Saturday night,
when the telephone call from Oregon
City informed her that her husband
was free man.
A Pathetic Scene.
Thn porJnu t,,oc ND
the first her husband knew of it was
when she appeared at the prison and
he was informed by Tom Wilson, of
the inside Office, that his wife was
there to take him home Mr.. Wisner
was completely overcome, and he and
his wife wept on each others necks,
and it took them some time to realize
that it was all true. They read over
the precious bit of paper, while the
prison tcilor fitted Mr. Wisner out
with new suit of clothes. The act
ing governor would not discuss the
matter, but told friend of the fam
lily that all he wanted was a picture
of that little boy THAT is the most
beautiful little boy saw on my
whole campaign, and all ask of the
Wisners is that they go home and do
their best to educate those children"
The governor had tear in his voice,
and gripped the Clackmas county
mans hand with that awful black
smith grip of his that reminds you of
shaking the paw Of grizzly bear.
Had Enormous Petition.
The petition for the pardon of Wis
ner WIS signed by nearly all the prop
erty owners and business men of Har
ney and Malheur counties. Wisner
was involved in the killing Of one OF

Then he took up the gaWel, and busi-
