SIDEMBLE TWE AM) SOME
SINISTER COilPLIMEMS.
Shortly aftor convening yesterday
aftornoon the senate resolved liself
Into a committee of the whole for tho
confederation ot Senator Joseph's bill
providing for the employment of con
vict labor under the direction of the
state highway commission. In the con
struction of the state's highways, and
after sitting for four solid hours
long enough to wear a hole in the
seat of every senatorial pair of
trousers present it finally agreed
end rosolved Itself back again and
passed the measure.
Contrary to previous occasions
when a meastiro of any consequence
was up for consideration that is in
Joe eyes of the senators, and for illus
tration the resolution declaring Ore
gon's government the lest in the
world there was no oratory exuded.
Just talks; but there were plenty of
them the very atmosphere alive with
them. There was no particular de
mand for them, but there was a flood
of amendments, and nearly every sen
ator had to have hla say upon them;
had to have his little say no matter
whether there was any division of
opinion or not; and no matter if a
dozon who had spoken before him had
expressed his views. Senator Bar
rett, at Umatilla, was among the
first one to come to the bat and after '
three strikes had been counted on
him, sat down; not to remain there,
of course, but Just to wait his turn
and he arose again and again to speak
on some amendment and finally when
an agreement was reached and it
looked as though the bill had been
flnlshedlie again gained tho floor and
asked to have added to it a new sec
tion. That demanded more talks and
it began to appear that like Tenny
son's brook they would go on for
ever; and maybe they would have,
had not Senator Carson taken the

I floor to talk on the measure for the
first tiniH. Senator Carson gave it as
! his opinion that the section was use
! less and that the senate was only
i killing time In dlscimlng it. That i
fetled it with the senators the fact
that it waa useless arid they were
killing time and they got down to
buhlness and as might lie expected In
corporated the sprtion Into the bill.
J'nnl-li.iiM of Hill.
The bill In substance provides that
all convicts, save those serving life
pentences, and those necessary to do
the work ut the state prison, and
those itndi'r contract ty a stove man
ufacturing concern of Portland to
manufacture stoves for It may be
used in the construction of roailn In
the state. The counties must make
application for them and the work is
to be done under the direction of the
state hlhgway commission. The bill
carries an appropriation of $30,0u0 for
the purchase of road machinery.
Trouble Over Contract.
Trouble was experienced at the out
start ov-r a contract existing between
the state and the stove manufactur
ing concern at Portland. This con
tract was entered Into under Govor
nor Chamberlain's administration and
extends over a period of 10 years.
Senator Albeo did not desire to abro
gate the contract and wanted the bill
amended bo as to except It from the
operation of the act. Senators Sln
nott and Norton opposed It on the
ground that it might give validity to
the contract or enlarge Its terms. A
committee of lawyers was named to
framo the amendment and after Its
submission, it was lost. At the tall
end of the proceedings Senators Jo
seph and Abraham declared they
would oppose the measure unless
such an amendment was Incorporated
and the senate backed up and put It
in the bill.
Joseph and Dlmlck ('lush.
After this first section had been
agreed upon one minor amendment
after the other 'was Incorporated with
a little Bide talk on each until the
section providing for the appropria
tion was reached and then Senator's
Joseph and Dlmlck clashed. Senator
Dlmlck offered an amendment to re-"
duce tho $!50,000 appropriation to $20,
000. Judge Lionel Webster, who Is
the champion of the good rond move
ment, then came in for a speech on
tho Bide and upon bis conclusion Sen
ator Joseph gained tho floor. "I could
not expect you," he began In addrewj
Ing Senntor Dlmlck, "to be In favor
of an appropriation, as you have been
against every one so far coming up

for consideration. I want to give this
commission enough money so that It
can go ahead and do business without
bclng handicapped and let us not be j
spectacular and try to appear conser-
vative; let us get down to business.
That brought Dimick to his feet with
the iliarg- that Senator Joseph had
fa wired every appropriation, which he
admitted, and aftT the exchange of a
few sharp retorts both took their
seats and the senate went sedately on
with It business by providing for an
appropriation of $:'.u,0W for the pur
haso of road machinery.
Miller Wakes Them I p.
For the next few minutes the sen
ate went Into a Rip Van Winkle sleep
and when Senator Selling, who had
surrendered the chair to Senator Mil
ler, moved to strike out section 11, It
was carried by a solitary vote. Sen
ator Harrett, of Umatilla, as usual,
was on his feet with an amendment
but Senator Miller who had hurriedly
put the motion advised him that It
had carried. This section repealed
all laws In conflict with the bill and
It was desired to Incorporate a saving
clause In favor of the stove manufac
turers at Portland who entered Into
tbeir contract for the convict labor
by virtue of a law and It was moved
to reconsider. It carried and the
clatiHe was incorporated and an ad
ditional section annexed providing
that hereafter the state should not
enter Into contracts to sell the labor
of its convicts.
Killing Time Says Carson.
The bill now looked complete to all
the senators but Senator Barrett, of
Umatilla, who moved to have annexed
an additional section providing that
the responsibility of the superintend
ent of the state prison should cease
as to convicts upon turning them over
to the guards of the state highway
commission. Some one also suggested
that a penalty should be provided for
allowing the criminal to escape and
both thoughts were new and started a
buzz of talk. Becoming finally dis
gusted Senator Carson arose to re
mark that no one could bo held re
sponsible In a financial way for the
escape of a criminal and that the dis
cussion of the section was but killing
time and the section Itself useless.
It then went to a vote and was In
corporated after which It was passed
by the senate.
Other Hills Passed.
Senator Dlmlck's bill provided that
the polls shall be kept open on pri
mary day (luring the same hours as
provided for general election day was
passed.
A bill providing for the creation of
a parole board was read the first
time and bo was a bill providing for
the insertion of time tables in the
newspapers by all railroad companies.
Highway Hill Tnssed.
The senate finally passed the High
way bill practically as It came from
35 Cents a
the committee of the whole, which
acted on It early in the week. It
provides for a board of three commis-
sloners and a road commissioner.

Deafness. Cannot Be Cared,
by local applications, as the cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumbling Bound or imperfect hearing,
and when it Is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out ot 10 are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu
lars, free.

ars it is surprising how man ol
fashioned remedies are being used, which
goes to show that it is hard to improve
some of our grandmothers' old, time-tried
remedies. For instance, for keeping the
hair dark, so't and glossy, nothing equal
ing our grandmothers' "sage tea" has ever
been discovered. Although, by the addi
tion of sulphur and other ingredients, this
old-fashioned brew has been made more
effective as a scalp tonic and color re
storer. Nowadays when our hair comes
out or gets faded or gray, instead of go
ing to the garden or garret for herbs and
making the "tea" ourselves, we simply
go to the nearest drug store and ask for
a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur.
This preparation is sold by all leading
druggists for 50 cents and $1 a bottle, or
is sent direct hy the Wyeth Chemical
