Free Text Book Bill, Introduced.
A bill has been Introduced in the
senate to provide for tree text books
for all school children In the state.
A liquor bill passed the senate that
would have hit scores of such instl
tutlons In the state. It provided that
no saloon should be located within
300 feet of a depot or ticket office.
It has been amended so that saloons
cannot be in the same building, as a
depot or ticket ofllce. Another liquor
bill provides that if a person Is, In

European Study Asked for.
Thousands of farmers in the state
are Interested in Representative
Mitchell's bill which provides for two
delegates to go to Europe and study
the farmer's credit system and other
economic Institutions In vogue there
It Is' believed that It will pas.nnd
that when they report much valuable
loglslat'on can be secured, 'and the
farmers also given Information that'
"Ml nld them In their financial af
fairs. L Mine Bureau Is Wanted.
An effort Is being mafle to secure
the passage of a bill which provides
for the establishment of a bureau
of mines. It Is claimed that Oregon
Ib now spending millions annually for
Imported minerals, whereas these
inlnernls could be produced In this
state If they were properly developed
California appropriated 140.000 an
nually and Washington $28,500 annu
ally for the mineral Industries, while
Oregon spends ony $2,000 a year.
This bill would permit a detailed sur
vey of ty mineral resources of the
atnte and enable many mineral pro
Jctcts to be developed thar are now
dormant.

Hon. Dorothy Meyers and Irene
O'Connell will attempt to bold tbe T
flrmatlve, and seek to establish that
women will be better off with the bal
lot. On the opposite side Mary .New

demonstrate that women will lose
their prestige by being allowed to
approach the ballot box, claiming that
the place for woman is in the home.
While this mailer will not have tho
effect to reverse the decision of the
voters of the state. It will tend to
strengthen their minds on the matter
and enable them in after years to
devote their energies on one side or
the other. '
The debate will be held In the high
school aud'torium and will be attend

-M . Bates Is now 63 years of age.
She was born in Illlon, New
York, living In Los Angeles much of
the time and coming to -the Oregon
country four year, sago. She has
never had a painting lesson in her
life and therefore must have natural
ability. It Is a great pastime for
her besides allowing her to make
little mementoes for her dearest
friends. In this way her mature years
are spending themselves In tbe pur
suit of the things she dreamed of as
a young woman. It is like the wan

on a beautiful fall day, .full of the
glories of a useful and Christian life.
