TIIE SUNDAY ORCGOXIAN, rORTLASP, FEBRUARY 28, 1909. 6 BENSON WILL BE "GOVFRNORMONDAY Chamberlain's Resignation Now in Hands of Pri vate Secretary. Is ; STARTS FOR EAST TODAY Benson Expected to Call Special Session of Legislature, for March 13 to 20 and Thus Limit Proposed Legislation. SALEM. Or., Feb. 27. Special.) Gov ! rnor Chamberlain today placed his nmg ' nation aa Governor In the hands of lii f aecretary, Mrs. C S. Shelton, to be de- Jivered to Secretary of State Benson at I the opening of office hours Monday morn- trig. The resignation reads that It is to ' take effect at 12 o'clock midnight Sunday i cieht. so that Benson will become Gov ' ernor at the beginning; of March 1. In j fact he will not be Governor until the ' resignation shall be handed to him by , Mrs. Shelton and he (ball have taken ' the oath of office. In his resignation Governor Chimhrr. ! lain expressed his thanks to Mr. Benson 1 and other state officers for their courtesy i mna co-operation in official transactions. ' Governor Chamberlain left today for his 1 home in Portland and tomorrow morning ; he will leave for Washington, expecting o arrive mere on March 4. Special Session Kxpected. Mr. Benson will assume his duties as Governor Monday, and, presumably, one of his first acts will be to call a snecial session to meet about March 15 or 20 to . pase the appropriation bill which failed to become a law because of an omission in ine legislative proceedings. Mr. Benson feela that the Improvements at the a.tylum are aosolutely necessary and that the special session is therefore unavoidable. An effort will be made to limit the wont or the Legislature to the pas . sage or the appropriation bill. It is believed that by calling the session for raturoay the legislature will want to ad Journ before Sunday. Mailt Lost Normal's Money. An investigation of the record show- mg the vote by which the. last Normal .. School appropriation bill Wa riefentcrf . leaves no doubt that the Normal School question will be presented at the spe cial session. There were plenty -of rotes in the House to pass any kind of i a .Normal School bill through that ' ranch. In the Senate the bill appro - rrlating 1 10,000 for each of the Nor iltialj to carry them through the re mainder of this school year was de leatea oy only one vote, and among the j aosent was senator Mulit, from Ash . iana. wad Mulit remained until the vote could be taken the bill would ' have passed. Just a minute or two before the roll was called on the bill i ie left the Senate chamber and ran to ; the passenger depot to catch the train ror home. The bill had only 15 af urinative rotes, with 16 necessary to pass a bill in the Senate. Assuming that those who supported the bill before will support It again, it Is certain that with iiulit's added vote an appropria tion can be made to carry the Nor mals through the present year. How the Vote Stood. .- . The vote by which McCue's bill ap propriating 910.000 for each of the Normals failed to pass was as follows: Ayes Abraham. Bailey, Coffey, Cole, Hedges. Kay. Merryman, Miller of Linn. Miller of Linn and Lane. Norton, Oli ver, Scholneld, Sinnott, Smith of Ma rlon, Smith of Umatilla 15. Noes Barrett, Bingham, Chase, Hart Johnson. Kellaher. Nottingham, Wood. - Howerman 5. Absent Albee. Beach, Caldwell, Mu lit. Parrlsh, Selling 6. : But while It would be possible to pass a oiii to carry the normals throuah the present year. It is not probable that me Legislature would provide for the normals for a longer period, for the Senate was decidedly opposed to auch a policy. Chamberlain Clears Slate. Before leaving today Governor Cham berlain made a number of appoint ments, the most Important being that of Representative C. L. Hawley, of Polk ' County, to be a member of the Board s of Regents of the Agricultural College, to succeed W. P. Keady. Mr. Keady was reappointed by Chamberlain, but tbe Senate refused to confirm the ap pointment for the reason that Keady has moved to Spokane. The term for which Hawley has been appointed will expire February 13. 1918. The Governor also appointed a State Highway Commission, an adjunct of the Conservation Commission. The - Governor says in his letter announcing tie appointments that, like "the appoint- ;tuent of a conservation Commission, there is no law authorizing such action, but he asks the members to arrange a , meeting, study the problem of wagon roads and railroads and report to the - legislative session of 1911. The persons " appointed are: Julian C. Byrd, Burns; C F. Swigert. D. C. O'Reilly, A. H. : Devers, Portland: George Putnam, Med ford; G. W.' Baldwin. Klamath Falls; -. William -Grimes, Marshfield. The commissioners will, of course. ' serve without compensation and pay , their own expenses. GIRL REMAINS IN AMDEN "Writes- Joshua Klein She- Will He-turn to Taeoina. Xot TACOMA. Wash., Feb. 27.

Or., Feb. r.-tpccial.)-A recent gold discovery in Colombia, South America, will result In the culmination of a pretty romance In which Benton H. Smith, the discoverer, will wed Miss Christine Anderson, of this city. It 5s a romance which began in Wisconsin and which, during many years, has traced its way across the continent, down Into Panama and South America, and which will end happily In Albany next month. Tears ago Miss Anderson, who was an orphan, went to live with the parents of Benton H. Smith. The boy and the girl then formed an attachment for each other and In their childhood days planned a marriage for the far distant future. They drifted apart, but through all the Intervening years have kept in touch with each other and have never lost sight of the proposed marriage. They have not seen each other for the past five years. Miss Anderson became a stenographer and finally came to the Pacific Coast. She worked for a time in Hood River and last Fall came to Albany. She is now employed In the office of the Albany Nurseries Company. About three yenrs ago Smith went to Panama to work on the canal. This Winter he went over Into Colombia on a prospecting trip and discovered gold. He was then able to realize his dream of years and wrote, to Miss Anderson that he would come straight to Albany to wed the sweetheart of his boyhood days. He is expected to arrive here within the next two months.

The captain of the Columbia refused any aid, as far as his steamer was con cerned, as he figured he could repair the propeller by the time the boat had drifted to the big railway bridge, and he did, the Columbia being steered through the draw by. means of the rigged-up rudder, and taken on to Portland under her own steam.

ISSUE IS F TANGLED Speaker Meigs Says Threats Have Been Made to Force Him Into Line. FAIR DEFICIENCY AT STAKE Presiding Officer Takes Floor to Ex pose Opponents of Local Op tion Issue In AVashlng ton Legislature. OLYJPPIA, Wash., Feb. 27. (Special The local option Issue forced its way In the consideration of the state fair den ciency appropriation bill of tlO.699 today, and caused Speaker Meigs to relinquish his chair long enough to go to the floor of the House and charge that an attempt nad been made to club him with the measure. "I have been held up and threatened." he declared. The Speaker, who has been allied with stringent local optionists. said that he had been told that the bill would never pass unless he would consent to the removal of fourth-claes cities from the county unit In the local option bill. Meigs is from Yakima County, where the fair is located, and the bill was introduced by Cameron, of the same county, in the Sen ate, who Lb a member of the managing board of tiie fair. The trouble was precipitated by Slayden of Pierce attempting to have the bill made a special order for next Wednesday, which is the day following that set for the resumption of the local option fight. Meigs Insisted that the bill go on the calendar, where it would likely be reached Monday, and a motion to that effect made by him carried after several acrimonious statements had passed. Palmer Charges Graft. Slayden and Palmer attacked the bill solely on the ground that It was for a deficiency appropriation, and Palmer called attention to the law prohibiting the creation of deficiencies. "I am surprised." he said, "at the gall of these men coming here asking for us to make up a deficiency; instead of pass ing this bill it is our duty to swear out warrants for the arrest of the fair of ficials." The bitterness over the local option Issue cropped out again In the afternoon, when Palmer of King declared that he had been jobbed In the return from the printer of the Nichols bill to the House with only the amendments thereto printed. He asserted he had moved to have both the Nichols bill and the com mittee substitute printed in full, and that the motion had been carried. "The gentleman from King has no right to address such remarks to tbe chair," declared the Speaker, which caused Palmer to explain that he did not Intend to imply that the chair had 'jobbed' him, but that some one else had. Palmer then secured the adop tion of a motion requiring the printing of the Nichols bill in full. State Keeps Its Credit Good. In spite of attacks by House mem bers and the claim that it was a gi gantic steal from the state, the Senate bill providing for the issuance of $208, 000 in state bonds to take up illegal Normal school warrants Issued In 1895. passed the House. The original prin cipal of the warrants was about $106, 000. but the Interest has practically doubled the obligation of the state, which Is a moral and not a legal one. The passage of the bill is the culmi nation of numerous attempts made in previous Legislatures to secure appro priation to pay off these warrants. New Building at Barracks. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash..

REFUSE TO PAY TAXES PEXDLKTOX .MEX ALLEGE THAT ASSESSOR WAS UNFAIR. Assessed City Property at Higher Rate Than Farm Lands, De clare Plaintiffs. PTCNDTjETON. Or.. Feb. 27. (Special.) Several of Pendleton's most prominent property-holders, representing a majority of the property on the two main street3, have Joined In an Injunction suit to pre vent the county collecting taxes which have been levied against their property. in the complaint they charge Assessor Strain with not putting a true valuation upon their property, and allege that with intent to cheat and discriminate against them, he did place a valuation upon their property in excess of the true cash value' when he was supposed to assess all prop erty at about 60 per cent of Jts cash value. They declare he assessed farm prop erty in the county much lower in com parison than he did city property. They also allege that.in order to favor political friends, he placed low valuations upon certain property. The County Board of Kqualliatlon, which refused to cut down the assessments when requested to do so, also comes in for a share of abuse. The suit is generally looked upon as a political attack against Strain and also against the local option adherents. The men interested in the suit were strong opponents of local option. Among the number are T. C. Taylor, W. F. Matlock. George Darveau, J. S. Vert and J. R. Dickson. Albany Lads Good Debaters. ALBANY, Or., Feb. 27.

T., are desirous of coming West, and they have written to the "Matrimonial Bureau" rather cautiously; evidently having a vague notion that there may be a Joker In the scheme somewhere.

We are ladies of sensible age, good looking, good figures, congenial and good entertainers.
