OREGON CITY, JANUARY 18, 1899 "C.mtin;ttible Lylny." Under the above heading in the Ore gon City Enterprise Senator Porter re ferred to his having received p iv for uiort mileage than Senator Brownell. As wus to he expected the Honorable Senator denied the charge, but in bin denial he makes some misstatements, of course it is merely an error, the Sena tor would not he guilty of anything con temptible or malicious. There is no public reports of the ex penses of the legislature, but on pate 0 of the Daily Oregouiun of October 20, 1898, app-iirs a complete lint of all the senators ami representatives togiither with the mileage and amount allowed. In Iliac report Sjnator Brownell is cruJited with 70 miles and allowed $70.60; Senator Porter is credited with 70 miles and allowed $71.40. Tho total number' of miles claimed -iul the total amount allowed also appears. The om plelenesH of the article stamps it as re liable. In Suitor I'orlert't article he states: "I Ills I no claim fur mileage and drew but 70:50." As is well known the snu ators aero allowed $3 per day for the 20 days of I he session and 15 cents per mile traveled as mileage. The Senator having drawn, according to his own ad mission, $10 50 more than his own salary mint have died a claim for mile age. Mm memory has probably failed him oniiu to his efforts to secure a clerkship for a resident of Multnomah county. powers of advertising. You believe one good "old soaker" is worthy 20 "drizzlni."

Work has been commenced on it. Subscription papers have been circu lated and ths society lias received much encouragement. The society supplies harmless amuse ment for our young men with proper safeguards. A letter received from an Oregonian In Honolulu do.-tciibes llie condition of the men employed on the sugar planta tions as worse than elavery. It is con tract labur in the worst form. Poor, ignorant J ips, Chinese and Portuguese are compelled to labor long hours for a mere pittance ami are treated worse than dumb utiimuU. This matter is certainly worthy of investigation by our goveri'iiiont. A teBt case should be brought to determine whether involun tary servitude can bo inforced under the American flag. Representative Thompson whs in Ore gon City during the recess of the legis lature and staled he had no special leg islation to bring up but wool.

In view of this a mass meeting whs recently called to consider the queHtion of devising some system of waterworks.
