Scappooae, Oregon, Of thirty-two measures on the ballot at the recent election there were but seven that met the approval of tha maj ority of the voters. They were the following: An act authorizing- the establishment of a branch Insane asylum in Eastern Oregon. A bill providing for the permanent supptrt and maintenance of the Oregon Normal School at Monmouth. The Home Rule amendment. An employers' liability law. A bill prohibiting the taking of fish from the Rogue River except by angling. Toe good roads amendment- An amendment changing judicial pro c ilute, terms of Indues, etc. Tl t Eatteru Oregon Insane Asylum bill carries an appropriation of f 200,000, ihichsuin includes maintenance cost ;p to December 11)02. Within 60 days ;ba uct becomes a law, the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer wlli select a site for the instution within five miles of Baker, Union or Pendleton. Aft r selecting the site they will have plans drawn for buildings capable of accommodating not lens than COO patients, and will cause the same to be elected. After the hospital i com pie ted the b.-nrd, with the advice anl counsel of the superintendent of the Asylum at Salem, will select such patients as shall be removed to tha branch in-ititution and thereafter the board will direct the various countiet as to which asylum their insane shall be sent. Tha Monmouth Normal School bill creates a separate fund fur the support and maintenance of the institution, buildings being already provided. For putting money into the fund a tax of one twenty-fifth of one mill is levied on each dollar of taxable property in the state. This tax will provide a'lout $23, 00.) yearly. There will probably be sufficient money iu tin fund to permit the reopening of the school next Fall. The Home Rule bill ostensibly gives cities and towns exclusive pjwer to license, regulate, control, suppress or prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors within tha municipality, but it is so loose'y drawn that the ablest lawyers disagree as to its real effect. The full meaning and intent of -the Rogue Rivos fis iiiij bill is expressed in its title. It simply prohibits the taking of fish from the stream except bv hook and line. The bill puti oat of business a valuable fish c tmiery at the mouth of the river. Althuugn the new law aifuets only a comparatively small 'community in the southwestern corner of tha state and the people at laige knew nothing concerning thj merits of the act, it was approved by a large majority. The good roads amen Inieut letnoves a restrict;, m now found in the const. itutiun against a county incurring more than $ 5000 indebtedness to build per manent ro.nU, The adoption of a gen eral statute by popular vote providi ng a method for counties to incur more than ftOOO indebtedness for roads will pro bably be necessary before advantage can be taken of the amendment. A CORRECT STATEMENT The Mist w,i9 in error last week in the statement that I was defeated by over 400 voV's. Assuming that the totals given in the Mitt were correct, if to these the vote received by Mr. La Hare and- myself in the Rainier preciuct not accounted for, be added, Mr. La Bare and I have 989 and 683 respectively. For the reasou that a certain "politician", previous to the election, "gave out the information'' iu various places that I would not cr.rry my own town, I wish my frieuds to know that in the Rainier precincts, I received 301 votes to my opponent's 50.
