OREGQ Senator Fulton andGearin'Per formed Good Service THE STATE HAS FARED WELL 8enator Secure Columbia River Ap propriation, Irrigation ior Klamath and Publio Buildingi. SEWERAGE EXPERIMENTS. ; Tho Oregon delegation in the session of oongress just closed, while ban di capped by nnfortnnate oironmatanoes, has been singularly successful, and legislation secured for Oregon inter ests will compare favorably with that obtained hy other state delegations. In the bouse there has been much forbearance and obarity shown Oregon on acoonnt of the naturally weakened condition of the state's representation, and in all matters In which Oregon Is interested every effort has been made to give (be state a fair show and square deal. - In the senate there was no stronger delegation from the west or northwest than Fulton and Gearin. These two senators worked in harmony and with out jealousy orjrivalry for the inter est of their state and it is nnfortnnate for Oregon that they are not to contin ue to work side by side daring the sixtieth congress. Coming late in the session and observing strictly the tra ditlou of the senate that a new senat or shall not take a speaking part in the proceedings, Gearin has made no addresses in the senate, altbongb urg ed at various times to do so by those knowing bis ability as a speaker. While not doing any talking, Sen ator Gearin has applied himself in dustriously to work for the state, and in conjunction with Senator Ful ton has accomplished material results. Senator Fulton's work daring the ees sioa bad a soope of both n atioual and state interests. Conspicuous in tbe former was the participation with marked suooess in tbe railway rate disonssiou, where he earned a "high position among tbe legal lights of tbe senate. Service of a more distinctive state ohnraoter resulted through bis efforts combined with Senator Gearin's in the generous appropriation for Oregon, considering that this is elec tion year, when the watoh dogs growl at every treasury sate. The $400,000 for continuing work at the month of the Columbia was a prominent a- obievernent iu this line, tbe Klamatn Indian appropriation of $537,000 be ing a good second, and $120,000 for Hate buildings being not a despioable third. One independent bill was passed, . providing thut people who bad taken unallotted lands of tho Umatilla res ervation should be permitted to pay up without making proof of cultiva tion, when it was Bhown that tbe land "was arid. Congress also finally adjusted the long controversy between tbe North ern Pacific and tbe numerous settlors botweou Wallula and Portland over rights growing out of tbe lap of the grant cases, a law enacted permitting tbe settlers to retain their homes and the company to settle other land. Au especiul service to tbe coast in terests wus the law passed permitting Amorioan sealers wrongfully soized for poaching to present their olaims iu the court of claims, whioh has long been denied them. An aot whioh is not a law was the termination of a long controversy be tween the state aud government over civil war claims. Senator Fulton, as chairman of the committee on olaims, is to be sent to the court of olaims in the Oregon oase in whioh it has been proved that the covernment owes the state about $335,000. This disposi tiou of tbe oluim will result iu an ap- propriation of approximately that amount in a year or so. ' Threo postoffloe buildings appnv priatious for tho state aggregate $130 '.000. Souators Fulton and Geariu also se en rod the adoption of a largo uu rubor j of private peusion bills. Yakima Board of Health Wants to Solve Sewage Problem. After an investigation of the eeptio sewage tank at Vancouver, B. C, the special state board of health committee will recommend to tbe state board of health that all the cities of the state be compelled to adopt some kind of a method that will do away with tbe damping of sewage that has not been purified in the streams, says tbe Yaki ma Republic The septio sewage tanks alone have been declared impractic able. Tbe board will hold a meeting in July and will order the building of a septio sewage tank at one of tbe state institutions.probably Walla Wal la, as an experiment This will test tbe efficiency of such a plant in tbe inland cities. Tbe committee making tbe investi gation deoided tbat the septio plant alone is not practioal for inland towns without a filtering plant in connection with it. Measles Epidemic Broken. R. C. Beamor was in town Tuesday from his home on Basket Mountain, and reports that tbe end is now in sight of the measles epidemic up bis way, says tbe Weston Leader.
