As uriiiniiiicnd briefly in the lust
issue of'J'iiK Mail, tho Ilenson fao-1
lion of tho lower house of represon-!
littives, olltfoloU an organization last
Thursday , A number of senators
ii I WttHliiiiuton t!lei?raph(!d their
opinions to Hwnator Mitchell, stat- j
hir iii.it tnu nouKii couiu oe iireim
i.of wilt) less llntri two-tliirrls ma
jority, whereupon the Henson men
concluded to organize and test their
constitutional rights to do so after
wards. It was extweted that trouble
would occur when Ilenson took the
chair, but, the set was accomplished
without disturbance. Temporary
Chairman Davis refused to recoe-
izd Ilenson as speaker and
s a result, there are now two
presiding officers in the hodse.
On Friday merning when Davis
nd his followers appeared at
the legislative hall, he was
met by a number of deputies
appointed by Benson, who refused
to allow nun to take his seal. After
a short wordly skirmish, a compro
mise was made, whereby Davis was
permitted to take the chair, with
the understandinij; that his (Davis')
friction was to adjourn before the
time set for Benson's faction to meet.
Tho Ilenson men met at 10:30 Fri
day, and after a short session, ad
journed until Monday, without noti
fying tho senate of their organiza
tion. Upon the house re-convening
on Monday, a motion was adopted,
calling upon the sergant-at-arms to
bring in the absent members and
compel them to answer to their
name. This move was accepted
ai a criterion that the Benson fac
tion had finally concluded that it
would be useless to attempt any
legislation without the presence of
a quorum. Tbe anti-Mitchell men
declare that they will not obey the
orders of the sergant at-arms, as th
house organized by Benson is il
legal aad therefore he baa bo au
thority to arrest them. The con
fusion is becoming worse confounded
and no one seems to be willing to
hazard a guess as to what the end
will be.
The following bills have been in
troduced in the senate:
Senator Price, of Umatilla, has
introduced a bill which reads:
"That from and after the approval
of this act by the governor, all farm
or team wagons, or other heavy ve
hicles upon which the tire is four
inches wide or moro, shall be free
from taxation or assessment.
Another bill was introduced by
Senator Price, relating to tbe
method of collecting school taxes.
It is made the duty of the school
clerk, ten days after the annual
school meeting, the first Monday
in march, lo begin' making an as
sessment of his district, and imme
diately upon its completion, to col
lect tbe tax.' The measure, it will
be seen, takes from the assessor the
power to make the assessment, and
from the sheriff, the duty of collect
ing the tax.
Senator Brnwnell has introduced
a road tax bill, the full text of which
is as follows:
"Section 1. That the couaty
courts of the several conn ties of this
state, at tho time of levying taxes
for county purposes, shall levy a
tax upon all the taxable property in
the county, not to exceed 5 mills
upon tho dollar, and in addition
thereto a poll tax of $2 Bhall be as
sessed upon every person who shall
be liable to pay a state poll tax,
which taxes shall be collected with
and at the same time and in the
same manner as county taxeB shall
be collected, and shall be paid into
the county treasury, and ahull be
kept in a separate fund, to be known
as the 'road tund,' and shall be used
for the purposa of laying otit, open
ing, making and repairing county
roads, foot and cycle paths along the
same, and repairing undges, and
no other tax or other taxes for the
purposes ill this section mentioned
shall be levied or collected, except
that the countv court may order
bridges built or repaired out of the
goneral fund.
' sec. 2. All acts or parts of acts
in conflict herewith, are hereby re
pealed in so fur as they so conflict."
Senator Reed has introduced a
bill providing for working convicts
upon the public roads. ' .
Sonator Holt, of this county, in
troduced four bills Wednesday, as
follows: One providing for judges
and clerks of eleotion; one exempt
ing homesteads from attaohmeuts
and judioial eale; one providing for
the relocation ot county seats, am
one providing in judioial saloB that
unpaid taxes oe a nrst lien.
.Senator Gowan, of Harney and
Morrow counties, has introduced a
salary bill providing for the com
pensation of the officers of all the
counties in the state. The "full
text of the bill oannot be had at
this time, but they are about 20 por
cent lowerthan at prosent. It pro
vides for the salary of county judges
ranging from $300 in Curry county,
to $2500 in Multnomah. Clerk
salaries are fixed on a scale of from
llf)OOtir200;shoriiTsalories,frorn
1(XI0 in Curry county, to 14000 in

ROMANCE OF THE MOUNTAINS.

DiMppeatrane of Ilia Dsaffnler.
Seventy year ago, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, there came tu the
county nanwd from Massaehnsetts a
young; man named James Hoar, son of
a prominent citizen of Boston, edu
cated at one of the leading eastern
colleges. Beyond this nothing could
be learned of his life. He secured
work as a day laborer at the old Whar
ton furnace. Everything about this
stranger bespoke the gentleman of
culture. This fact, added to the mys
tery of his life, ltd to the. conclusion
that he had left Massachusetts for rea
sons which he did not care to divulge.
One day as he was handling a large
piece of metal it fell and broke his
leg. He was taken to the home of
Henjamin llronson. Bronson had a
tin u (.'liter named Jennie, a typical
country girl. When Hoar was takeu
to her home-her spare time was de
voted to the care of the new arrivut.
After the patient was able to be about
his attentions to Jennie bccnim? ap

CATS THAT SEE NO DAYLIGHT
New York Pott tmicii lla a Katlier

"It may not bo generally known that
there is a remarkable aggregation ol
cats in the big city post otlicc in New
York." said a traveler to a Washington
News reporter. "I served In that oflict
once and became so Interested in Mil
one hundred and fifty or two hundred
eats in the basement of the building
that I lK-gan to imike a sort of study of
the animal in general. Those cats arc
kept there to prevent the mice from
chewing up tho contents of tho mail
bags. So necessary arc they regarded
that an appropriation of twenty dol
lars a month Ls available for their sup
port. Tho light of day never striken
the room in which the cats are allowed
to roam, and from year in to year out
the electric lighU arc kept burning.
These cats know very well tliat the
light is artificial, and nd one can tell
me to the contrary, for, as 1 say, I hav '
made a study of them. , The eonse
qneuce Is the animals labor under the
delusion that all time is night time,
and in,. spite of the fact that several,
hundred persons are at work in the
room constantly, those eats are not de
terred from indulging in their noc
turnal serenades. They howl and fight
and scratch exactly the same as if they
were stationed on a back yard fence'
with the darkness of Egypt about
tbem. Oh, yes, the clerks become nseil
to it after awhile and pay no attention
to them."

aggregation of an infinite number of

colors of the rainbow; these colors,
uniting before they reach the eye. caus
