Special Session Uncertain.
Salem— There will positively be
no special session of the legislature
unless the members show a differ­
ent disposition toward the introduc­
tion of new legislation.
Though
there Is urgent need lor a correc­
tion of the errors In the appropria­
tion bill. Secretary Benson will not
call a special session unless he re­
ceive: some assurance from mem­
bers that they will not Introduce
new legislation.
There will undoubtedly be a great
effort among those who wish to have
the session called to prevail upon
members to give Benson the re­
quired assurance within the next few
day.
The secretary of state said
that unless the session Is called
within three days pfter he takes the
oath of office as governor he would
call no session at all.
Solon* May Aid Normals.
One of the possibilities of the spe­
cial session of the legislature Is that
the members will try to pass some
of the bills that were vetoed by Gov
Chamberlain.
In accordance with
the custom and rulings of the attor­
ney-general, Secretary of State Ben­
son will not send the vetoed bills
to the special session, but will hold
them to be returned to the next reg­
ular session.
But this will not prevent the mem­
bers of the legislature from re-ln-
troduclng the same measures, pass­
ing them as new bills and sending
them to Benaon as governor for his
action.
It seems quite probable that there
will be an effort to carry the Nor­
mal schools through the remainder
of the present school year.

Salem, Or., Mar. 1.— Governor
Chamberlain Saturday placed his
resignation as governor In the hands
r f his secretary, Mr*. C. U. Shelton,
to be delivered to Secretary of State
Benson at the opening of office hour*
this morning. The re*lgnatlon took
effect at 12 o'clock midnight Sun­
day night, *o that Henson might be­
come governor at the beglnmng of
March 1. In fact he will oot be
governor until h j shall have taken
the oath of office.
In his rcHlgnatlon Governor Cham­
berlain expressed his thank* to Mr.
Henson and other state officer» for
their courtesy and co-operation in
Official trail.,action*. The Governor
left Sunday morning for Mu.-dilng-
ton, expecting to arrive there on
March 4.
Before leaving Governor Chamber­
lain made a number o f apoolnt-
ments, the most Important bHng
that of Representative C. L. Hawley,
of Polk county, to be a me..iber of
the board of regents of the grlcul-
tural college.
The governor also
appointed a state highway commis­
sion, an adjunct of the conservation
commission. The governor »ays in
hi* letter announcing »he appoint­
ments that, like the appolntnment of
a conservation commission, there is
no law authorizing such action, but
he asks the members to arrange a
meeting, study the problem of wag­
on roads and railroads and report to
the legislative session of 1911.
OUR NATIONAL CAPITAL
Intcrc»tlng Event* or the Week in
Washington, U. C.
Washington, March 3.— Twelve
senators and
77 representatives,
members of the present congress,
will be absent when the 31st con­
gress assembles In special session on
March 15. Of the 77 representa­
tives who retired on March 1, one,
Hepburn of Iowa, has served 22
years in congress and Sherman of
New York, who becomes Vice-Pres­
ident. has served 20 years.
Senators from the Northwest who
will retire are Ankeny, of Wubhlng-
ton. and Fulton, of Oregon.
Francis J. Heney has been paid
a total of »65,000 to date for his
services In connection with the pros­
ecution of the Oregon land-fraud
cases, these payments covering the
period beginning November 7, 1903,
when he was first appointed "special
assistant attorney-general of
the
United States to assist the United
States district atorney for the Dis­
trict of Oregon,” down to the be­
ginning of the present year. The
last payment was made to Mr. Heney
January 21, 1909.
It Is evident from a statement
made by the attorney-general, that
Mr. Heney will receive further com­
pensation, for, contrary to public
knowledge, he Is still retained on
the government payroll.
Whether Mr. Heney will continu*
on the payroll of the department of
justice after March 4, will depend
upon the attitude of the Incoming
attorney-general. It is not thought
likely that he will.
The long fight of tho discharged
negro soldiers of the 25th Infantry
for an opportunity to prove their
Innocence In connection with the
"shooting up” of Brownsville, Tex.,
on the night of August 13,. 1906,
was won when the house by a vote
of 210 to 101 passed the senate bill
to that end. Violent opposition was
enccuntered from members of the
Texas delegation and others.
Fred Dennett, of North Dakota,
will In all probability be retained
under the Taft administration as
commissioner-general of the land of­
fice. He is a warm personal friend
of the new secretary of the Interior,
having been his choice for assistant
when Ballinger was commissioner of
the land office. He Is also strongly
Indorsed by Chairman Hitchcock.
Representative Hawley Is very
anxious that Portland shall b • desig­
nated headquarters of the i .'\v rail­
way mall district to be <■ aied In

of a clause In the postoffle appro­
priation bill. This district will In­
