OREGON LEGISLATURE.
How th Baaaoa Bel Cp Their Or
lulnUaa la th Uoun, .
Two o'clock Thursday of last week
the Benson men succeeded in orgnnii
ing the lower house of the legislature
with a majority numbering thirty-qiie.
There was a large crowd of spectator
present, m it had been announced In
the morning session of the house that
organisation would bo attempted in the
- afternoon. A collision of the factions
was expected, but nothing of the kind
occurred.
At J o'clock, when Temporary
" Speaker Davis mounted the rostrum
and called the members to order, an
audible rustle of expectancy passed
around the house. The speaker direct
ed Clerk Moody to call the roll, and the
following answered to their name;
Benson, Bridges, Brown, Chapman,
Conn, Crawford, David, Davis of Uma
tilla, Gratke, Gurdane, Hogue, Hope,
Hudson, Huntington, Jennings, Lake,
Iiangell, Marsh, Merrill, Hisener,
Mitchell, Nosier, Palm, Riddle, Rigby,
Pimth of Marion, Somers, Stanley,
Thomas, Thompson, Vaughan, Ven
ues, Wagner.
The first formal move of the Benson
men was made by Brown. He left hie
desk and came forward to a position
just in front of the speaker's rostrum.
Brown addressed Speaker Davis, and,
being recognised, began a speech. He
:. aaid: .
"We have sat here for ten days in
our effort to organise this house. But
the rulings of the temporary speaker
have at all times been adverse to the
possibility of organisation. If he has
been conscientious in his ruling, I re
spect him."
Brown then went on to recite the his
tory of the failure to organise and, con
cluding with the statement that it was
now "our earnest purpose and steadfast
resolution" to proceed with the busi
ness, offered a formal resolution, as fol
lows:
"Eesolved, That the present tem
porary speaker, E. J. Davis,' be, and he
is hereby removed, and that Dr. J. N.
Smith be, and be is hereby elected
speaker pro tem. in bis stead. That
E. B. Lake and F. S. Stanley be and
they hereby are appointed a committee
to escort Dr. J. N. Smith to the speak
er's chair."
The reading of the resolution was
greeted with great cheers by the lobby.
Brown raised his hand in protest, and
appealed to the spectators to keep
silent. .
"We have serious business to do."
he said. "Mr. Speaker," interrupted
Kiddle of Douglas," addressing Davis,
: '1 desire to enter an emphatic protest
against this proceeding. I am against
this resolution. We have heard some
opinions read on this floor from Sena
tor Hoar of Massachusetts, and from
Senator Thurston of Nebraska. I take
it as a piece of impertinence on the
part of the senator from Nebraska to
offer unsolicited advice as to what we
should do in Oregon, and our answer
Bhould be in the language of the great
and only Pennoyer, Yoa attend to
your business and we'll attend to ours.'
"I will ask the speaker to put the
question," said Brown, "although
realize it is a delicate matter for him."
"This whole proceeding is out of or
der," replied Davis, coolly, "and I de
cline to put the question." :
"I will then put the question," con
tmued Brown. "All who favor the
resolution will say, aye." There was a
loud chorus of ayes. "Those opposed,
no." Several yells of "No" came
from the lobby,
i "Carried," cried Brown.
Speaker Davis calmly watched the
progress of events and said nothing.
Smith was marched np beside Davis be
tween Lake and Stanley. When he
was opposite the speaker, Smith, who
is a very small man, extended his hand
to Davis, who is quite tall, and there
was an awkward handshake. The
crowd breathed a sigh of relief and
. smiled. There was to be no tragedy.
It was just plain comedy. , Smith
asked the pleasure of the house, and
iSomers promptly got on his feet and
read a printed resolution removing
Temporary Chief Clerk Moody and
appointing B. B. Hays, the Benson
caucus nominee. Smith put the mo
tion and it was declared carried, and
Hays took a place beside Clerk Moody.
Chief Justice Moore was waited upon
by a committee, and he swore in the
members. Conn then offered a resolu
tion to proceed to permanent organiza- J
tion, and it carried. H. L. Benson, of j
Josephine, was placed in nomination
for speaker. The roll of the members
sworn in was called by Hays. , Benson
got twenty-eight votes, Benson, Gratke
and Misener voting blank.
A committee was appointed to escort
Benson to the chair. Chief Justice
Moore swore him in, and he made a
short speech of thanks.
The following officers were then
elected:
Assistant chief clerk, H. 8. Jordan:
reading clerk, Frank Motter; calendar
clerk, E. W. Bartlett; sergeant-at-arra
H. W. Murphy; doorkeeper, 3. w!
White (colored.)
... These were the Benson caucus nomi
nees. They were sworn in by Justice
Moore. Bridges presented a resolution
empowering the speaker to appoint
three pages, a mailing clerk and one
upstairs doorkeeper, and it was adopted.
Thomas offered a resolution extend
ing the usual courtesies to newspaper
men, and that, too, was adopted.
There was some discussion as to the
proper way to notify the senate of the
house organization, but it was finally
seuiea Dy adoption ol a resolution by
Brown, appointing a committee of two
from the senate and three from the
bouse to notify the governor that the
senate and the house were organized
and ready for business.
afanireat Ihim rHttm
The Populists have held acauous and
issued the following manifesto, which
gives their side of the tangle in the
house:
"To the People's Party of Oregon!
The undersigned, your members-elect
to the legislative assembly, ask your
loyal eupiiort aud that of ait good citi
sens in our contest for suuhjui organ.
isation of the house as we believe will
resnlt in economical and remedial legis
lation that will make an honest vote
and a fair count possible in Oregon.
e are contesting for a fair orgnnistv
tion of the house, in order to make pos
sible the passage of the Bingham regis-
tration bill, the Holt judge-of-oleo
tion bill, and an amendment to the con
stitution providing for direct law-mak
ing by the people by means of the ini
tiative and referendum in its optional
lorm.
"We are assured by eminent lawyers
that the . Bingham registration bill is
constitutional, and likely to be effec
tive. The Holt bill allows county con-
tral committees of each of the three
principal political parties to designate
one judge of election in each preemot,
and committees of the two principal
parties to each name one clerk of elec
tion in each precinct. The initiative
and referendum need no explanation to
Oregon Populists. These measures we
believe to be all important in obtaining
honest elections and control by the peo
pie of lawmaking in Oregon, and there
by preserving our liberties. The situa
tion is this:
"Last June the Republican party
elected thirty-eight members of the
house of represenatives. Only twenty
eight of this number have agreed to act
together in organising the house. Part
of the remaining ten Republican mem
bers support Mr. Bourne and part do
not support any candidate. The Popu
list and Democratic members are stay
ing out until such time as a Republican
majority may agree upon a candidate
of its own-for speaker, or until a suffi
cient number of them unite with ns to
assure Bourne's election, which we be
lieve will 'enable us to obtain the
measures herein named. As long as
Republicans are thus divided, and it is
possible that we may, by preventing or
ganization, finally elect Mr. Bourne,
and probably obtain the legislation be
fore mentioned, we feel it to be our
duty to the people of Oregon to stay
out wages or no wages. With this
knowledge of the facts, we feel that we
are entitled to your support lor our
selves and our allies." .
The manifesto is signed by two sen
ators and twelve representatives. It is
said that the remaining Populist sena
tor snd representatives, who were out
of the city when the caucus was held
fully indorsed the manifesto.
A short session of the house was
held Snnday, the temporary speaker
having ruled that it was necessary ac
cording to the constitution.
The house has again failed to organ
ize before Tuesday and this defers the
senatorial election until Tuesday, Feb
ruary 2, and, of course, no ballot can
be taken on that date unless the speak
ership problem is solved before Tues
day of next week.
The senate meets daily, but no busi
ness other than the introduction of bills
is taken up.
Senator Harmon has introduced
oill designed to restore to sheriffs of
the various counties the duty of convey
ing all committed persons to the state
insane asylum, reform school and peni
tentiary. It is merely made the duty
of the committing court to place such
in charge of the sheriff. Nothing is
said as to compensation, out the pre
sumption is that the state is to pay, as
at .present.
WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Senator Harmon's bill to regulate
salmon fishing in Rogue river .fixes the
close season from April 15 to June 1,
and from August 15 to September 15.
It makes it unlawfnl for anyone to
take salmon with a trap or wheel of
any kind. It also restrains the use of
seines at any point above the mouth of
the Illinois river. A penalty of not
less than 25 and not more than 200
fine, or not less than ten days or more
than six months' imprisonment is pro
vided for violation of its provisions.
Senator Wade lias introduced a bill
for the returning to Union county of
more than 3,900 that was paid into
the state treasury as taxes. Of this
amount, 1,708 was paid to the state as
a assessment on railroad property,
Senator Brownell has introduced a
bill in the interest of bicyclists. It
directs that all transportation companies
shall be required to check and trans
port bicycles like other baggage. The
bill is general in its provisions and de
scribes at length how railroad and other
tiansportation companies shall convey
free of all charges to each passenger,
with a ticket, not more than 100
pounds of baggage. How it shall be
checked and how reclaimed are describ
ed, the provisions simply enacting into
law -the present pratices of railroad
companies.
Senator Smith has introduced a bill
changing the beginning of the close sea
son on the Columbia from August 10
to August 1. This is in accordance
with the recommendation of United
States Fish Commissioner McDonald.
There are provisions for the regulation
of fisbtraps, by which none shall have
a lead more than 700 feet in length, and
no fish wheel shall have a lead of more
than forty feet in length. Other regu
lative provisions are added.
Senator Mulkey has introduced a bill
intended to prohibit, as far as possible,
corrupt practices at elections. It lim
its the sums of money tbat may be
legitimately expended in securing a
nomination or election to any office
created by the constitution of state or
for representatives in congress. It pro
vides for a public inspection of the ex
pense account of any candidate or
political committee. Other states have
similar measures on their statute books,
and publio sentiment in the state of
Oregon, Senator Mulkey thinks, is ripe
for a similar statute in this state.
A fishtrap bill has been introduced
in the senate by Smith of Clatsop. It
is provided by the bill that it -hall be
unlawful to construct, own, maintain
or operate any poundnet, fishtrap, fish
wheel or other fixed appliance for
catching salmon In any waters of the
state after January 1, 1899. Penalties
are provided. The measure is the
same as that introduced in 1805, except
that time, until 1899, is given to re
move the traps. Two years ago the bill
passed the house, but it was defeated
in the senate by a close vote.
State Printer Leeds has furnished
the senate the first batch of printed
bills. The state printer has a larsre
force at work, and is not likely to be
far behind at any time in his work.

There has not been any great amount
of activity In wheat, nor has the Inter
est in the market from the outside been
oonspionons this week. Trading from
a speculative standpoint has been lag
ging, and commission men did not have
so many orders. Fluctuations in the
market have been fairly frequent, but
the daily range has narrowed some
what. Sellers have lieen loading up
buyers all week on every little rally,
and the latter olass appear to have got
ten the worst of the bargain, because
sellers have bad many ohanoea to buy
in their wheat lower down the scale.
This depression is traced to many
causes and the principal one is as men
tioned above, dullness and lassitude on
the part of the trading publio. The
news of the week has not been sensa
tional in any degree, and one of the
points emphasised by sellers, and used
with a great deal of effect, is the slack
ening in the inquiry for flour. The
news that several mills that have been
grinding away for dear life for the past
six months shut down and are actually
looking around for storage room for
their surplus, is one of the factors that
heliKsl to press down. Whether this is
a sufficient exouso for the decline re- j
mains to be seen, as many of the mills
in the Northwest are yet not experienc
ing difficulty in dipscing of thoir pro
duct Elevator systems in the North
west, in their reports, are, of course,
governed largely by farmers' deliveries
at their stations. One system operat
ing a line of houses in Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, says that do-
liveries are increasing, which is taken
to mean that receipts at Duluth and
Minneapolis are bound to increase
within the coming week. This was
another argument why
fall off in price.
It is true that cables are steady but
acceptances of offerings made from
this side within the past week are nut
so . liberal, and general counterbids
have been from the United Kingdom.
