OREGON LEGISLATURE
HOPELESSLY CLOGGED
Night Sessions To Be Held
During Final Week; 686 Bills
Have Been Introduced.
Salem, Ore. The concluding week
of the present legislative icaston finds
both Houses hopoleasly clogged with
work. It Is by many regarded at the
most congested final neck faced by
ny session in years. Doubtless ex
tended night sessions will be held, but
it would seem utterly Impossible for
the two Houses to clear up the mass
of bill that have been dropped Into
the legislative hopper during the past
live weeks. There are really more
bills to be disposed of during the re
maining days than have received at
tention during previous weeks. A to
tal of 6S6 bills have been presented
and not half of them have received
attention.
The trouble Is that both Houses let
the early weeks if the session slip
br while they puttered over petty
bills or consumed valuable time In
political discussions which served no
useful purpose. In the meantime the
Important legislation has been neg
lected and must now necessarily be
rushed through without careful con
sideration. Scarcely any big legisla
tion bat been developed and dis
cussed. Good roads alone has been the
only statewide legislation receiving
attent'on, and this has not been dis
posed of. Notable legislation to be
considered is the legislative reappor
tionment, the creating of new con
gressional districts, the public service
commission bills, Insurance, the eight
hour bill, public levee, half rate for
long dlstaance telephoning at night
and the railroad rate measure.
Appropriations May Break Record.
The Indications are that when the
session concludes Its labors the ap
propriations for the next two years
will eclipse all previous records and
the taxpayers of Oregon will see an
aggregate amount of coin voted out of
the state treasury that will make
them sit up and take notice, likewise
reach deeper into their pockets when
they face the tax collector.
Five million dollars, by consecutive
estimate, will represent the mlnlmun
um total of appropriations, and the
Indications are that It will be closer
to 16.000.000. In fact, members of the
joint ways and means committee
frankly admit that they believe the
figure will be nearer $6,000,000 than
it will J5.000.000.
In the general appropriations bl
filed by the ways and means commit,
tee of the House there is contained an
aggregate appropriation of $866,920.
The general appropriation bill does
not include the eastern Oregon asy
lum, the amounts to be expended on
the University of Oregon, the Oregon
Agricultural College and the Mon
mouth Normal School, the continuing
appropriations of every character, the
amounts to be allotted for country
fairs, the money to be expended In
road and highway Improvement,
should the expected compromise be
tween the factions be carried through,
and numerous other Items.
Special Appropriations Heavy.
The ways and means committee of
the House decided to allow the east
ern Oregon asylum $310,000 instead
of the $400,000 asked. It was also
concluded to grant the Monmouth
Normal School $30,000, one-half the
amount petitioned for. Then there is
$j"0,000 contained In the Oregon Ag
ricultural College bills. Including lta
biennial appropriation. The Univer
sity of Oregon is scheduled to receive
In round numbers $303,000 for im
provements and acquisitions of land
and $230,000 for salaries and mainte
nance appropriations for state boards,
eleemosenary institutions, fair asso
ciations (which have Increased by a
dozen in two years). Improvements
end additions for the state Insane asy
lum, the penitentiary, the home for
the blind, the home for the feeble
minded and other state Institutions,
not contained in the general appro
priation bill, which does not Include
Improvements of any character, the
appropriation of $50,000 contained in
the bill for the Astoria centennial
celebration, amounts asked for fish
hatcheries and increases In salaries
scheduled for many offices, with more
deputies, and creations of new offices
w ith goodly salaries and expenses.
The state is growing, say the legis
lators, property values are increasing,
improvements are going ahead rap- i
Idly, institutions are building up and
greater appropriations should be ex
pected. This cannot be denied, but
compared with the appropriations
made by the Legislature two years
ago, which staggered the taxpayers,
the sum total this svssion will convey
the Impression thct the growth must
be so rapid that the state will toon
Application for Crazing Permits.

Reapportionment Hart Problem.
The reapportionment problem It by
far the largett one before the Legit
lature tince a compromise hat prac
tically been effected by the good
roads Interests which will result In
the ultimate settlement of the differ
ences that have existed between the
warring good roads factions. Mult
nomah, on account of having one-third
of the population of the state and
paying more than one-third of the
taxes which supports the state gov
ernment, believes that she should
rightly have one-third of the represen
tatives and 10 senators. The outly
ing districts will be leagued against
the Multnomah delegation In both
Houses.
A special committee will be ap
pointed by Speaker Rusk to consider
all the reapportionment measures that
have been presented. Kvery session
will be overshadowed by the reappor
tionment problem and all legislation
of whatever nature that comes up for
consideration in either House is bound
to be affected more or less by the re
apportionment bogey.
Bailey's Removal Blocked.
Efforts to remove State Dairy and
Food Commissioner Bailey from office
were blocked for the present in the
House and Senate.
In the House the report of the spe
cial legislative Invest gating commit
tee, accusing B.illey of Inefficiency,
misappropriation of state funds and
demanding his resignation, was laid
on the table. In the Senate the ac
tion on the report was deferred and
no action Is likely to be taken.
Governor Upholds Whipping Post.
Denouncing the wife-beater as at
heart a barbarian and as such deserv
ing of the only kind of treatment
which will appeal to a person of brut
Ish impulses. Governor West vetoed
the bill abolishing the whipping post.
It lslleved the governor will also
veto the Bowerman bill, which pro
vides for the creation of the office of
assistant secretary of state, delegat
ing full powers and authority of the
secretary himself.
Fruit Boxes Standardized.
A standard size for apple and pear
boxes is prescribed In a bill offered
in the House by Westerlund of Jack
son. The standard size of an apple
box Is fixed at 18 inches long, Ul2
inches wide, 10'i inches deep, inside
measurement. Dimensions prescribed
for the pear box are: IS inches long.
11 inches wide and S Inches deep,
Inside measurement.
Attack On an Initiative Law.
Thirty-two members of the House
voted to repeal the law passed by the
people at the last election prohibiting
fishing with any other device but the
hook and line on the Rogue River.
It Is the first of the people's measures
to be tampered with at the present
session and those behind the proposal
had no easy time In getting a majority
of the representatives to Tote with
them.
To Protect State Funds.
The misappropriation of state funds
is made impossible by the passage In
the House and Senate of a bill re
quiring the secretary of state to pass
upon and determine the validity of all
expenditures by Btate officers. Another
bill which passed the House will have
a far-reaching effect in bringing all
moneys now held by various boards
into possession of the state, for it
compels the treasure or any other
person having possesion or control ot
unexpended state money in the hands
of any board, commission or other
state organization to turn over the un
expended state money w ithin 10 days
from the passage of the act.
Conflicting Asylum Reports.
Conflicting reports as to the suit
ability of tne site purchased for a
branch Insane asylum at Pendleton
were made. The report of the Joint
legislative committee, presented to the
Legislature, approves the site selected
and declares it the most suitable and
appropriate of those available. In the
report filed simultaneously with Gov
ernor West, the committee, consisting
of former superintendents of the asy
lum, named on the committee by the
governor, finds that the site pur
chased by the state is not convenient
or practicable for the purposes for
which it was bought. .
House Declares for Clean Pupils.
Members of the House backed up
the Senate in its demand for cleanli
ness among pupils in the public
schools and passed Senator Chase's
bill which empowers the board of di
rectors of any school district to en
force sanitary regulations governing
the personal appearance and cleanli
ness of untidy pupils.
Prohibit Intermarriage of Races.
With Clemens, Clyde, Mann, Pierce,
Reynolds, Smith and Simpson voting
no, the House passed Peterson's bill
prohibiting the Intermarriage of
whites with Japanese or Hindus. The
bill also prohibits such marriages be
tween whites and persons having one
fourth Japanese or Hindu blood.

Grow Celery.
nv mhs, jomn wiGLK.
Celery at it boot in Central
Oregon, with soil and climate r
teeny auapied to its culture,
ready home market lor this most
delicious of table delicacies, and
wan tne aavem oi Hie railroad so
near at hand, why don't some of
the farmers corner the market and
supply the immediate vicinity ami
ouUida points with this easily
grown winter vegetable? The
home-grown article is superior in
every thing but color, to that which
its imported. It i sweet and of a
nutty llavor, crisp to the outside
etalk and entirely free root that
stringy condition found more or
less in all other celery. It is also
free from that strong flavor and
? tne 11, which like the humble onion
announces its presence in' a very
decided manner. And people who
have eaten of both say that the
celery growu here is equal if not
superior to the famous Michigan
celery. I lie writer has. lor several
years, with the assistance of her
better half, raised celery in their
home garden, and had it on the
table practically every day from
the middle of October until the
middle of February, and some
years us late as march. It will
4tand considerable frost aud if one
could solve the problem as to how
it could best be kept, for the out-
side stalks will decay, the most
lilllcult point would be carried.
The writer has tried a number of
varieties, but bag found the inter
Queen the most satisfactory. About
ihe middle of February or 1st of
March prepare mellow, sandy soil
in a box and after soaking seed for
two or three days, plant and cover
lightly patting down soil; cover
with thick wet cloth;' keep thor
oughly moistened and in a warm
sunny place, till seeds are well
started; this will take two or three i
weeks," as the seed is very slow to
germinnte. Remove cloth and
move to cool sunny place, plenty of
suu and air make the plants sturdy.
Too much heat will make them
spindling. Thin and keep thin
ning for every seed will sprout.
About the last of May or first of
June they should be about two
inches high. Transplant to the
best soil in the garden, placing
plants three to four inches apart
or a little closer will not hurt.
This is the most tedious part for
the plants are so tiny and have
such long roots it is slow work
putting out several hundred plants
but the end justifies the means.
Soak well and cover with wet
acks; keep sacks soaked for about
a week, then remove and every
plant will hold up its tiny head
and get right down to its summer
work. After two or three weeks
work free from weeds. About the
