Senator Bourne.

Shall we beat Bourne? Bourne's
speaeh in advocacy of the Oregon
system has had greater circulation
than any other speech ever delivered
in the U. S. Senate More than p
7OO 900 copies were mailed on request
alone.
To my mind all the things which
Bourne has done and is trying to do
shrink into insignifcance compared to
the work he has done and will con-
tinue TO do for Direct Legislation.
The fight he made in 1906, two years
before B.n Selling reluctantly stood
for Statement No. /, made it possible
for US today to vote for U. S. Senators,
and has forced legislative candidates
to agree to carry out our wishes in
that matter.
Selling claims to have led the fight
for Statement No l. IN Multnomah
two years after the election of Bourne
on that issue. In an open letter to
Selling, Kelleher says: 'You refer
to the fact that you led the fight for
Statement No. l in Multnomah county
four years ago. This is in spite of
the fact that l was the first candidate
to file for State Senator and in spite
of the fact the friends of Bourne, by
means of petitions had to urge you
to get into the race. "
Under date of April 9, 1905, in an
open letter to the Republicans of
Oregon, U'Ren says: "Then some
friends of the law asked Mr.. Bourne
to become a candidate for the sole
purpose of enforcing the Statement
No. l agreement of the law. They
told him at the time it would cost
from $40 900 to SIS 900 and they die
not believe he was we'll known to be
elected. That through his effort:
they thought the law would be en-
forced even though he should not b'
elected Senator and they believed ht
was big enough man to sacrifice him
self for principle.
The campaign has cost more thai
sis 900 for postage, printing and
clerk hire alone.
No other candidate for the U. S
Senate has so much as raised hi
voice or written a line in favor o
recurring would-be members of thl
legislature to sign Statement No. L
say these things concerning Mr.
Bourne because l know they are tru'
and because he has been and is being
more persistently and industriousl!
lied about and vilified by the enemie
of Statement No. than any othe
man in Oregon politics today. / hav'
never heard any man who knows Mr.
Bourne question his honesty, hi
truthfulness or his ability"

START WORK MONDAY
Date Set for Resuming of Mining
in District IS.

Next Monday is the date set for the
resumption of coal mining in Iowa
after six weeks of idleness, due to
the strike of the miners, pending the
adoption of new wage scale agree
ment. Frank Cameron, secretary OF
the Iowa miners, says that the mines
will probably be prepared to begin
operations again on Monday next.
The wage scale committee has adopt
ed the new wage scale. 1t received
reports from subcommittee Tuesday
involving the blacksmithing question
lii the tour sub-districts and the under
ground work in sub-district No. |
These reports we're adopted by the
joint committee and the entire scale
is now ready to be submitted to the
separate conventions of the miners
and operators.
First the scale must be approved
by the operators and miners in separ
ate conventions and then in joint con.
venton, probably on Thursday. Both
sides expect that the scale will be rat
flied without a hitch. When once
adopted the miners and operators will
at once proceed to hasten the work
of preparing the mines for work after
six weeks of inaction.
During the shutdown the mipes have
been guarded. They have not been
kept up in shape for operation, how
ever and when the new scale is adop'
ted the first move of the operators
will be to put on big forces of men tc
prepare for the beginning of mining
operations again. If the scale is adop'
ted Thursday the mines will be ready
to again turn out coal about next Mon
lday.

THE NEW PENSION BILL
1t is Generally Known as the "Dol-
lar-a-Day" Law.

Both houses OF congress have passed
the new pension bill. and it is not con.
sidered a party measure, as many
democrats cast their votes for the bill.
The president has given the bill his
signature, and it is now the law OF
the land. The bill is generally known
as the "Dolar-a-Day Pension Law.
However, it means the dollar per day
only for men who have reached the
age of seventy-fve years and had
served not less than two years. The
widows now receive S12 per month un.
der another bill, and so far as known
their status is not changed by the
new law. There are many of the vet
Grams who have passed the age when
they can go out and hustle, and it is
now that they really need the pension,
and the new law will be welcomed
alike by veterans and good citizens,
who have veterans for neighbors or
friends, or who have ever given
thought to anything beside their own
affairs. Many of the veterans need
the pension, all have deserved the
best that the government. represent.
ing a grateful people, can do for them
At the bureau of pensions at Wash
ington the best estimate possible
places the total number of pensioners
affected by the law at 400 1865, and the
average increase per pensioner at
$61.2S. The new rate is given in tab.

Much Poor Corn.

Chicago, May 15.-Corn bulls said
that the trouble with their market
was that there is little new invest
ment buying coming in and that there
is too much poor corn. There were
20 ears of sample grade in yesterday
out of 232 cars of all grades, and 90
cars of No. 4, making about 90 per
cent of low grades. The glucose in
terests have been the largest buyers,
but they are nearly filed up. and were
able to dictate prices yesterday, drop
ping them 4c. There has been so
much wet weather in the country that
large part of the corn has spoiled
in the crib. Most of the poor corn is
coming from Iowa. 1t was noticeable
that on the break long corn came out
from scattered holders and passed in
to stronger hands.

were sales to Missouri, a round lot to
Tennessee, a little to Kentucky, and
scattered lots TO millers in Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee
and New York. The fact that there
was such wide range of territory
from which the buying came was re-

wheat bulls. Buyers took advantage
of the break in wheat to secure the
cash article. Most of the sales were
