that he noticed a tremor in the earth s

$40 in its treasurer and it will take
this amount to make purchases of those
things the government does not pro-
vide at this time for our trip to the
border. After that our fund will be
depleted and if we should be ordered
to move without our supply train we
are supposed to make such purchases of

amount up to something like the aver

be a matter than might be taken up by

DIRECT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT.

A senator from Oregon announces
his intention of introducing a pro-
posed constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the election of presidents
by direct vote OF the people. 1t is a
commendable purpose, since 1t aims
at the pure democracy of popular se-
lection, and at the elimination of
such anomalous possibilities as a vic
tory for candidate securing perhaps
half million votes less than his op-
ponent.

people is the foundation OF a repub-

As matter of equity, there should
be no limitation Of the power OF the

sent them at the meeting Of the asso-
citation. He understands the situa-
tion along. the. river, knows where
the sport fishing and the commercial
fishing meet in common interest and
where the one can be maintained
without destroying the other. He will
ask that justice be done the sport
fisherman. the commercial fisherman
and the cities that depend upon the
Rogue for water supply. The action
OF the sportsmen in this convention
will have wonderful influence in
the making Of sentiment regarding
