12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 4, 1JU3. TOWNS ARE RIVALS La Grande and Union Want County Seat. PEOPLE OF COUNTY TO DECIDE T.n Grande CItlcens Are Confident of WlnnlnK the riura Stronir Petition for Re moval, SALEM, Or- Feb. 3. (Special.) The fight in the Legislature over relocation of the county seat of Union has been stayed by a truce. Both sides to the-contest have agreed upon a bill whereby. If K per cent of the electors of the county vote lor La Grande at a special election, the county seat will be moved to that dty from Union. Representatives of La Grande at the Capitol, are confident that their city will win. They base their con fidence on convincing evidence of the t-entlmrnt of the county and of the geo graphical and commercial and political relations of the two towns. J. V. Scrlber and J. M. Church, who have been present ing the La Grande side of tho argument at the Capitol, have met with a high de gree of success, and It -was mainly through their exposition of the, case that the committee on counties of the House resolved to recommend the passage of the bill already mentioned. The members of the Legislature from Union County. Senators Wade and Pierce and Representatives Murphy and Bur leigh, have worked to carry out the wishes of the majority of the people of the county as expressed In the petition. The Union people readily assented to the bill, after they saw the sentiment of the committee and the Inexpediency of further opposition. The measure will pass without any doubt. This means that La Grande has practically won the county cenr, although that city still has to mus ter Its forces in an election for final suc cess. The separation of the "Panhandle" from Union County and the addition of that area to Baker County, done by the Legislature of 1301. has completely read justed the conditions under which the struggle for relocation in Union County has been waged heretofore. While the "Panhandle" was a part of Union County, the town of Union had a firm hold on the county seat because It was nearer tho center of the county than was La Grande, and was, therefore, moro convenient for residents of the "Panhandle" to reach. But the addition of the "Panhandle" to Baker County, reducing the area of Union County over one-third, has put La Grande more in the center of the county than Is Union. The geographical rela tions of the two towns are now Just re versed. La Grande now lies at tho con vergence of the principal avenues of the county. Trade and business drift its way from all directions. It is a railroad center and the commercial, industrial and polit ical headquarters of the county. Whereas once over half the county was tributary to the town of Union, now over two-thirds Is tributary to La Grande. La Grande Is a rapidly-growing town of 4u00 Inhabitants. It has hotels and schools and other advantages superior to those of Union. Moreover La Grande is on the ' direct line of the railroad at tho Junction of the Elgin branch with the main line. This branch Is an artery of La Grande's commercial resource! By this branch that town draws to itself the trade of the fertile valley of Grand Ronde River to the northward. The avenues of trade from the southward also lead to La Grande. That city is at the center of large agricultural, lumbering and stock raising interests. It Is nearly three times as large as the town of Union. Mr. Scrlber has presented a petition to the Legislature from citizens of Union County, asking for relocation of the coun ty seat. In the county are 3319 registered voters, and of these ZK signed the peti tion. Outside of La Grande and Union precincts are 1920 registered electors, 1406. or 73 per cent, of whom have signed the petition. The 2HS signers of the petition repre sent In the assessed valuation of tho county J2.ffil.197. The total 1902 valuation of the county Is t3.551.13I.

Tho House committee on food and dairy prod ucts, tonight met with representatlvea of the dairy, creamery and com storage Interests and there was a lively jangle. The trouble was chiefly -about the pro vision In the present law requiring tub butter to be labeled as such. Cold storage men want the privilege, of storing butter In tubs and eelllng It In squares without labeling It tub butter. They contend that the brand condemns the butter on account of the large quan tity of inferior butter which goes Into tubs. Ther Insist that tub butter thus stored U of high creamery grade. In many caacs better than the fresh product, and in no case more than a degrco inferior to the best. They contend that butter keeps better in tubs than in squares, and that therefore a repeal of the present law Is in Xh Interest of the public They do not maintain that they should be permitted to label tub butter frah product, but that they ahould be absolved from Injuring their business by branding their butter with a name that condemns It. The answer to them was that butter should be sold for.Jusb what It Is and nothing else, whether It cornea from tubs or not; that the public la entitled to know for what It is paying; that repeal of the clause- In question would admit a great juantltiy of Inferior butter to the state to the injury of the Industry, and that the Industry had prospered under the present law for four years and the Legis lature snouia leave wen enougn ajone. The new pure food bill Introduced by Mr. Olwell wae debated as to Ita butter regu lations. It provides that every person who sells Imitation or process butter snail keep a record of his sales for the Inspection of the Dairy Commissioner; that every square of butter shall bear a wrapper, which shall have the name of the manufacturer. The last mentioned provision Is violently opposed by several creamerymen. Among tho men who addressed the com mittee -were: X. H. Looney. of Jefferson, who drew up the prwent law: Dr. James Wlthycombe. of CorvallU; T. S. Town send, of Portland: George Goodhue, and H. B. Thlelsen, of Salem: W. W. Cotton. E. Burr. J. W. Bailey. W. II. Chopin, of Portland: William Schulmerich. president Oregon Dairy Association; E. J. Seely. of Albany: Illchard Scott, of illlwaukle, and Charles Cleveland, of Gresham. FLAW IX CONSTITUTION. nevenled br ComparUon of Copy SlKncd and the One Sent ConKrrss. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 3. Speclal.)-It has been discovered that section - of article 17 of the Oregon constitution as it has always been published in Oregon codes Is Incor rect, and that the constitution as It was transmitted to Congress and approved by that body when the state was admitted Is radically different. The copy of the con stitution which Is on file In the office of the Secretary of State, and which purports to have been signed by the members of the convention, is also incorrect. The proper wording of that section of the con stitution was discovered today by Messrs. Ford. Kaiser and Slater, who procured a copy of the constitution as it was trans mitted to Congress. The section as it ap pears in the constitution approved by Con gress Is as follows: When two or more amendments shall be sub mitted at the same time they shall be submitted In such manner that the electors shall vote for or against each of such amendment! separately; and while, an amendment or amendments which Khali have been agreed upon by one Legislative Assembly shall be awaiting the action of a Leg islative Assembly or of the electors, no addi tional amendments shall be proposed. In the copy kept in Oregon and signed by the members of tho Constitutional Con vention tho words "at the same time they shall be submitted" were left out, and In MAP OF UNION COUNTY SHOWING printing tho Bectlon the semicolon was changed to a comma. It was surmised when the question arose a few days ago in the House that some words had been left out, and the discovery today removes all doubt as to the proper wording of the section. In the section as adopted the word "additional" probably refers to amendments to the same section of the constitution. This section has been the subject of a great deal of discussion in the past week because of several proposals to submit more amendments to the constitution. WHITE STILL AT WALDPORT.

Matter Is Dlscnsaed Defore Railroad Committee Attorney Cotton Says Improve Month of River. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 3.-(Speclal.)-The railroad committees of the two houses this afternoon In Joint meeting considered the bill for a portage railroad above Tho Dalles. Sentiment In favor of the bill Is growing, and It is likely to have strong support. The chief argument In its fa vor Is that action by the state is neces sary, in order to break tfie railroad op position to the proposed Government canal and locks. The advocates of tho bill say that construction of the Cascade locks was hastened by the portage rail way built by the stato at that place. They argue that with the railroad opposi tion broken Influence which has defeated the Government project below Cclllo will disappear. The bill has been Introduced In the Sen ate by Senator Johnston, and In the House by Mr. Johnson. In tho Senato a bill calls for an appropriation of 00,000, and in the House for $1G3,000. Its advocates admit that the lesser sum will be suffi cient to build the road. Huber and Max well, engineers, two years ago estimated the effet at the latter figure. The road would bo about seven miles long. The Government already owns roost of the rlght( of way, which It acquired for the boat railway project. Tho Scufert Inter ests, It Is said, would not oppose tho project, nor would the O. R. & N. Tho only place where the portage road and the """CV. ' ', PAN TOWNS OF UNION AND LA GRANDE O. R. & N. Interests might rub together is at Taffe's fishery. W. W. Cotton, attorney for the O. R. & N., was before the committee, nnd In timated that there would bo no difficulty with his road. However, he discourages tho project. "It is unwise," said he, "to appropriate this money now." He said that his company was greatly handi capped in its ocean commerce by the con dition of the Columbia bar. "We don't like to have our efforts in the Lower Co lumbia further embarrassed," ho re marked. "You should not neglect that part of the river. You'd better punch up your delegation at Washington. Pound It hard." Senator Johnston argued that the stats enterprise would hasten Government Im provements. "Never has there been a time," he declared. "In the past 20 years when there was less likelihood of Gov ernment work than now. Whenever wo have elected a Congressman, 'open river" has been the battle cry. There has never been a time In the past 15 years when wo did not have some definite plan of going ahead. But now we have no such plan, nor has the Government-" Senator Mays mentioned tho fact that the last Congress has appropriated $300,000 for the canal, but has provided for a board to Investigate the feasibility of the project. "The result of every board," commented Senator Johnston, "has been the same. The committee Is busy on consideration of tho subject. The engineers who made the surveys and estimates two years ago aro present. SUNNYSIDE GRADUATION. Held Lnat Nlftht Under the Auspices of the Alumni Association.

Oregon Does Not Produce Enough to Feed Her Own Inhabitants. Tho Oregon Mining Stock Exchange Hall was the scene of a very Interesting meeting of poultry fanciers last night, gathered to hear President E. J. Ladd. of tho Oregon Stato Poultry Association, make an Informal address on "Profit In Poultry Raising." The meeting was well attended, and Mr. Ladd talked with an ease and thoroughness that bespoke great famlllirity of the subject in hand. Tho address is the first of a series of four that are to be given during the year of IKS. the next being on May 12 In this city. Mr. Ladd laid great stress on the fact - ..!..-. .1 1 1 1 . ..111,... HArvo MOW ETAKBR COlSSTTY IN RIVALRY FOR COUNTY SEAT. that to make tho poultry business piy the customer has to be treated with the greatest consideration and fair dealing. for he Is the man that pays the money. Thi speaker narrated experiences In his own life where fair treatment secured the best of results. The matter of feeding was thoroughly discussed, and the poultry-raiser was ad vised to feed as lightly- as possible, so that the chicken Itself wolud have to do some rustling to get enough. Overfeed ing will stop any chicken from laying.. Why, the other day a woman came Into my store, almost crying, with a long talo about her chickens not laying. " 'What do you feed them?' I asked. She told me a long list of stuff that she used, and It was enough to kill any hen, let alone stop It from laying. A day or two later one of her hens died and she performed a post-mortem, and brought the hen's liver over to me. it was as big as my fist nearly, and I said. 'Madam. If you were In Europe you could get a good deal for that liver, but we don't want any livers In this country; we want tho eggs. Don't feed your hens so much, and they won't get that way. "Every now and then someone asks me if the supply of chickens nnd eggs isn't going to be greater than the demand. I tell them "No!" I have been here a long time now, and the prices for these two articles are tho same as when I came. I saw a man the other day wno told me he has just hatched out 650 chicks, and had SCO more on the way. He will get along all right, for we still have to get eggs from the East, and will until we havo many more chickens. There ought to be a good profit in eggs, for they can be se cured at about SVi cents, and when they are sold for 35 and 40 It means good re turns. The Industry, when handled right, la better than cattle, and the Investment pays both quicker and better." - PERSONAL MENTION. J. C Hayter, an attorney of Dallas, Is at the Portland. A.
