The trouble fn tbe house Is that they

that many more.
925 Bill Propoaed.
The last day for Introduction of bills
brought forth an avalanche In both
the senate and the house that nearly
swamped the clerks. With adjourn

the aenate ao far thla session und an
even 600 In the houae, or a total of

the widow's pension bill und the Mult
nomah school teachers' measure. The

minimum wage bill for women mud
minors, the measure placing all chari

Appropriations already asked from
the Oregon legislature, and now under
consideration by the Joint waya and
means commltteea of the houae and
aenate, have reached the huge total
of 18, 287,819.07.
By the time all requests for state
money are In, tbe total may reach
$9,000,000. This will be a record
breaker for requests, but there Is no
reuson to beleve that when the smoke

Only four votes were mustered
agalnM the substitute bill by the sen

to supplant district attorneys, sheriffs
and constables, and the substitute
measure passed the senate.
The drastic provisions of the ori
ginal hill, which allowed the governor
summarily to supplant such officials,
were materially softened In the new
bill. I'nder the new bill officials may
b supplanted for periods of 90 days,

they can practically rebuild h car
from the many extraa that they carry
and the complete equipment for the
making of i nils
In addition to tbia Hue they have
ahaftlug, belting, pullers, a large
assortment of machinists Hue tools
ami other supplies. 'This concern ia
now arranging to use the ii-rond story
of the building for body building,
painting, varnishing, slip covers and

In addition to a stock of fl.r00

they aim curry extras for the Oak land
