The cattlemen of the country- have charged that the livestock committee of the Lewli and Clark Exposition Is delay ing too long in announcing the division of prizes. The stockmen desire .that an- nounccmet be made soon that they may govern themselves accordingly in prepar ing their displays. It has been four months since W. M. ladd and Richard Scott were appointed by the Exposition corporation to divide tne WO.O0O offered by the Exposition as livestock prize, but no report has been made, and the stockmen do not know how- to go to work to prepare for the compe tition. They have stated In communlca lions to the Exposition management that it is necessary that the announcement be made within a short time. In order that they may havo time enough to decide what they are to display for the several awards and in the different classes. Mr. Ladd has stated that as yet no list has been drawn up. but that a llst figures had been prepared and turned over to the directors. Mr. Scott leaves Satur day for Denver to attend the National Livestock Convention, and it is necessary that a meeting be held soon. An attempt to hold one today fell through. However, Mr. Scott and Mr. Ladd got together yes terday afternoon and begun the prepara tion of a list of prizes which will prob ably be completed and turned over to the directors before the middle of next week. The original $40,000 has. through contrlbu. tlons on the part of firms and Individual?, now become $"V.000. WOMEN'S CLUBS TO HELP. Plan to Look After Comfort of the Visiting Ladies.

COLORADO GETS INTO LINE. Governor Peabody .Recommends Par ticipation in Portland Fair. Governor James Peabody, of Colorado, has announced in his annual message to the Legislature that he favors participa tion of that state in the Lewis and Clarlr Exposition. It is expected that during tne coming session oi tne legislature an appropriation will be made for a state exhibit. Although no action on the subject, has a? yet been taken, it is believed that tbe State of Colorado will erect a building on the Exposition grounds In which to house her displays. It was thought, some time ago, that in view of tne heavy expense Colorado has been put to during tne past two years through the trouble with the miners the state would not be able to make a representation, and Governor Pea body's recommendation, therefore, comes as a pleasant surprise. Whether a state pavilion will be erected is a matter ot conjecture, but it is settled that the state will at least make a creditable exhibit. The display of this state will bo a. valu able addition to the Exposition. NEBRASKA WILL ALSO COME Governor Mickey Makes Suggestions In Message to Legislature.. In his message to the State Legislature yesterday Governor Mickey, of Nebraska, recommended that the state make a cred itable representation at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. A telegram was re ceived at Exposition headquarters yes terday afternoon announcing the fart. The Governor suggested that much of the material used at St. Louis be trans ferred to Portland, and that new exhibits and displays be gathered to complete the representation. In the message Governor Mickoy stated that there are many ties binding the Oregon Country to Nebraska, that both states have, to a great extent, the same interests, and that to retain her prestige it was necessary for Ne braska to make an excellent showing at the Exposition. The Governor asked the Legislature to make a reasonable appro priation to defray the expenses of partici pation. It is understood that a bill will be introduced immediately to this end. and that it passage will be rushed, that commissioners may be appointed and preparations be made at once for the Ne braska display.

MILLIONS '.OF SALMON EGGS i Money on Hand Insufficient to Care for Countless Fry Now in riatcn erles Too Young to Be Freed for Months. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 5. (SpeciaL) That funds available for hatchery work in Oregon are' not sufficient to meet the expenses, is shown by the report of Master Fish Warden H. G. Van Dusen, filed with the Fish Commission today. Mr. Van Dusen says that the balance in the fund has been dwindling from ye'ar to year, and while he does not ex pressly make that recommendation, the Inference is that It will be necessary for the Legislature to revise the sched ule of fees for fishing and canning li censes so as to provide revenue for operating hatcheries. The report riled today is not the annual report of the Fishery Department, for that report was filed some time ago, covering the statistical year ending September 30. In his monthly report, covering the month of December. Mr. Van Dusen In cludes a-statement of the finances of his department for the year ending De cember 31. He says: The total receipts during the year 1004 In District No. 1 amounted to the mm of 313, 821.20. while the expenditures amounted to $13,271.14. shoving a dendt ot 11449.64. which was talus, care cfsby the balance of the.-tu.nd on hand the beginning ct the rear. Thin bJ. ance has been dwindling down from year to year, as will be seen by the annual reports of the department, until now we hare only $1708.68 on hand with which to raise and feed the 4,000.000 salmon try at the Ontario ealmon hatcher', which will not be large enough to turn out until April and May; and to take care of tbe atlverslde salmon eggs that we are colecting at our Salmon River .hatchery, from which the young fry will not be ready to turn out until March and April, In District No. 2 the receipts amounted to the sum of $4131.10, and the expenditures (from accounts received) amount to the sum of 4513."8. with flic or six claims yet to be received from the lmpq.ua Hiver hatchery and from the South Coos Klver hatchery to close up their accounts to Decern ber 31. 1904. This, as In District No. L shows a deficit of $384.68, which was taken care of by the balance of the fund -on hand at the beginning of the year. With this balance we will also have to pay the. additional claims mentioned, and carry on the operating ex penses at the four coast hatcheries until the young fry have become old enough to turn out. At South Coos River, we-have over 6,000.000 young fry to- ralre and liberate. 2,000,000 of which number will be transported to Coqullle River and rained and turned out Into that stream' In order to keep It stocked with the Chinook variety of salmon. At tbe Yao,uina hatchery we will have about 0,500,000 young fry to ralee and liberate Into tributary streams. For the work to be done properly at there two hatcheries, and the fish not tUmed out too young, we will not be able to close them down for the season until near May 1. which will. without a doubt, take all the money on hand In thla district. Tbe other two -coat hatch eries that Is. the Umpqua and the'filusUw. work on an earlier variety of salmon, and will be ready to close down sometime during the roonin ot January. The following statement shows the sources from which the revenue has been received and tbe places at which expended.

FOR IDAHO'S EXHIBIT; Governor Recommends An other $10;000 for Fair. -' PRESENT . SUM JS JT0; SMAL.L Legislature Opens With Readlrif.. f" Gooding's Message, Which In cludes Recommendation af Juvenile Ceurt System. BOISE, Idaho. 'Jan. 5. (SpeclaL) The features of the Legislative session today were tho reading of Governor Gooding's message and the adoption of memorial resolutions in honor of the memory of the late George L. Shoup.' The two houses met In Joint session, to hear the Governor's message. Neither house transacted business of importance. In the House. Speaker Hunt announced that the appointment of Will H. Sherl'er. of Ada County, as LChIef Clerk. In the message the Gov ernor made the tollowing recommenda tion respecting the Lewis and Clark Ex position: 'Two years ago the Legislature made an appropriation of $25,000 to defray the expense of our exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition. While this appropri ation was much smalled than that by any other Western state, still a Teraark- able showing was made for tne state when the amount of the appropriation is taken into consideration, and great credit is due to all those who had charge of the work. "By this same act $10,000 was appro priated for the Lewis and Clark Expo sition that will open in -Portland, Or.. earl7 In June of this year. Anything that is worth doing Is worth doing well, and $10,000 will not be enough for Idaho to make tho grand showing we should at the Exposition. The Lewis and Clark Exposition w)U practically be a Western exhibit, and those visiting Portland from the East will. I predict, pay special attention to the showing made by eacir western state. What rank Idaho will take among the Western states in the es timation of visitors will depend largely upon the showing made at this contest. Recommends Additional $10,000. "I would recommend that an addi tional $10,000 be appropriated for this exhibit, which I am .satisfied, owing to the nearness of Portland to Idaho, will enable us to make a first-class showing. I would also advise that the salary of the Commissioner be raised so as to enable him to give all his time to his work. Under his present salary he can not afford to do so. "In this friendly contest of Western states, which in my Judgment is the light in which we should look et It. all should give full attention and greatest effort to make Idaho first In this great Exposition." The Governor recommends that a constitutional amendment be submitted authorizing the Legislature to extend aid for the construction of a railway to connect the roads of the state. He fa vors the Juvenile court system, opposes the proposed extension of time in which the lumber companies may remove the timber which they have purchased from the state and which Is standing on state lands. askB for reorganization of the Land Department, suggests creation of the office of State Bank Examiner, the duties to be performed by tbe In surance Commissioner; demands a de pository law for care of public funds, and makes a number of other important recommendations. ASKS MORE TIME. - Lumber Companies Want Another Twenty Years to Remove Timber, BOISE, Idaho, Jan, 5. (Special.) A very strong lobby has already appeared here, devoted to the project of securing an extension of 20 years in which the lumber companies may remove from state lands the timber they have pur chased from the state. The subject seems likely to become one ot the exclt tne topics of the legislative session. A great amount of timber so held, however, has been purchased during the past four, years. It Is provided by the existing law that the timber shall be removed within 20 years, but the com panies now ask for another 20 years. The subject was raise a during the cam paign, but it was then denied that an extension was being sought. The plan will meet with great oppo sltion. but It is alleged that In the northern portion of the state, where the opposition has been most pro nounced, the people have changed their minds and are anxious to have the favor granted. Those opposed to the project claim the price realised by the state was less than It would have been had the term been twice as long, the term having been fixed at20 years in order tnat tne worse or. removing tne timDer should go forward at once, creating payrolls in the sections affected" and LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION. .

S.-(SpeciaL r-'The. Clackamas County Court, through the Legislative delegation from this coun ty, will seek to have enacted at the ap proaching session oC the Legislature laws that will prove of material aid to the various County Courts of the state In the building and repairing of roads," re marked County Judge Ryan today. I have great faith in the eminent do main theory which is being Indorsed by the different counties of the state," con tinued the Clackamas County Judge. "'The- enacting of such a law will give to the County Court of each county the right to condemn property for the estab lishment of a new road, or the appropri ation of additional property for the im provement of roads already established. the rights conferred being identical to those already enjoyed by railroad cor porations." It is also the purpose of the Clackamas County Court to have passed law regulating the use to which all roads shall be placed in the matter of heavy traffic, and still another measure that .will place some restriction as to the use of automobiles on the public high ways. IN FOR LIFE DESPITE JURY. Verdict of "Not Guilty," but Judge Uses Half-Forgotten Privilege. COLFAX. Wash.. Jan. 5. (Special.) Found not guilty because of insanity. ana tnen sentenced to the penitentiary for lire is the experience of Charles Martin, tried in the Superior Court for murder in the first degree for killing Frank Park er in Coltax Thanksgiving day. Martin shot Parker six times without warning or seeming provocation. His defense was in sanity, and he alleged to have been hyp notized and ordered to shoot Parker and E- W. Weinberg, ex-City Marshal. The trial occupied, three days. The Jury was out four hours, and returned a ver dict ot "Not guilty because of Insanity." Judge Chadwlck ordered the prisoner to stand up and said: "It Is the judgment of this court that you be confined in the penitentiary, until released by process of law." Under Section 6$59 Bellinger's code, this is allowed, and Martin may thus serve a life sentence for his crime although aJury found him not guilty. It Is the first case of the kind in thla sec tion. Judge Chadwick's action is com mended, as Martin was considered dan gerous to the community. - PASTOR CALLED 'POLICE. So Opposing Faction Wants Him Ousted From Pulpit by Court. EVERETT. Wash.. Jan.
