fisl-m. At lh close of What Is
usually the final vnk of the leKtslat
Ive session complications cam up
which make II difficult to tell Just
whan final adjournment will ba taken.
The understanding that virtually
had beeu reached for tha legislature
to adjourn for flva days after It had
cleaned up lt work and to com hack
for th aole purpose of considering
th vetoed hill la presumed to ba
responsible for th anion of the gov
ernor and hla prlvat secretary In
absenting theinselvea from tha exec
utive offices.
Governor West drulipnd out of IkM
Saturday and received no bill from
the IriiUlutlra assembly, and It waa
ld will receive non and will not ap
pear at th state capllol until after
th legislature ha finally cleaned up
vary bill that la on th deska of th
respective houses. Thl much became
known from an authoritative eourca.
Governor I Cr'tlolaad.
Waal wa severely criticised Betur
day by member of th aenat and
houac, a wall ai by attachea and em
ployee, whose salaries hava been held
up by hi failure to sign th general
appropriation hilt.
Th governor declared during th
week that Saturday being a holiday,
th aeuat and houa had no rlnlit to
remnln In session, but lawyer In both
branches of th legislature declare
that II I lenlalatlv day and that
the legislature could work and b well
within th law.
It waa believed to be th plan of th
governor. In order to t rcuuivent th
legislature In It determination to re
main here until all' vetoed bill r
acted upon, to forr receipt of all bill
Ihl week. Thl will make possible
th holding of all bill In hi office
umll Friday or Bnturtlay of thl week,
be ba flv day on each bill to
veto or alga or aend to the aecreury
of state without signature one way or
the other. -
Houee May be Swamped,
In vnt that the governor ahould
hold In hi office all of the bill yet
to be paaaed by the leglalnture, to
gether with those already panned, he
could turn in turn bunch of bill
late In the week that both houses
would be literally awamped and In a
bad condition then they have
been at any time during the session.
Should th governor do thla. It la be
lieved thnt th legislature will remain
her and act upon all bill, no mutter
how long It take. Thnt I the eentl
ment of many member, who began
to scent chrme by the executive
to "cet even" for their action In de
ciding to. remain her another week.
Viewed from any standpoint. It la
certain thai a big fight I coining be
tween the governor and th leglaln
ture. . Speaker Order Arret ef Member.
Speaker McArthur Batnrday threw
the house Into a fervor of excitement
by refuting permlulon to any member
to leave for home, ordering the door
locked end Inatructlng the sergeant-at-arnis
to go out and arreal every
member who had left the eeatloa with
out permission.
Th trouble started when It wa die
covered Just before the 4 o'clock train
pulled out for Portland that there waa
but a bare quorum preaeut Borne of
the members, who live too far away
to be able to get home over Sunday,
rnlied objection' to remaining over
unlea there wa to be a session of
th house. The house adopted a reso
, lutlon to the effect that any member
who leave the house without the
permission of the speaker U to be
fined 15.
' House Irritated by Senate.
Senate bill which have paused the
house and In which senate member
are particularly Interested will be re
called by the house, taken Into that
body and laid upon the table until the
.aenate agrees to atop slaughtering
bouse bills, according to an agreement
which ts .being formulated among a
coterie of the house member!
Some of their pet bills have been
put to sleep In the Bennte and they
are Incensed. In a spirit of retaliation
for the wholesnle slaughter of house
bills In the senate, the house Saturday
turned on the senate -and began slay
ing bills from the upper house.
Novel Procedure In Bill Selection,
The senate indulged In a novel pro
cedure when It agreed to allow each
one of the 30 senators to select from
the vast grist of house bills, which ts
before that body, one bill each, to be
given preference and receive Imme
diate action.
. Ti Procedure Itself appeared to be
no more novel than aome of the atten
tion made, Borne of Je bill, which
se-me ta be of flret Import to the
senator Included such aa those gov.
rnlug the running of stoik at lam
or providing for expediting the pay
nun. of wltnes or Juror fee.
1(1 Fund I 1175,000.
Agreeing to th report of th con
ferine committee and concurring In
aiuendnients made in the house, the
senate passed the I'anama Tsclflo ap
propriation bill, and Oregon will ap
propriate for Us share In the riposl
llun 1175.000. The senate Intended to
stand put on 200,bu0 and th house on
llOo.ixiti, but from the very nature of
th stubborn opposition from both
side It was pparnt there could b
no solution but a compromise.
Jury Duty Still Optional,
Women In Oregon do not have to do
Jury duty unless they wish to. The
hounn refused to pass a bill amending
the law to that women would be com
pelled to serve on a Jury when sum
moned, the same a men.
A number of th member of th
house expressed the belief that regu
lar Jury duty Is not for woman to
perfcrm and the measure therefore
went down to defeat
House Votee Home for Qlrl.
The bill for a state Industrial home
for gltls and women went through the
house and wa passed by a vol of
J9 lo 2. Th bill appropriate 50,000

The bill was Introduced In the senate
and passed that branch without a dis
senting vote.
Report Upholds Prison Policy.'
Oorernor West waa upheld, a to hi
prison policy and th management of
th atat penitentiary wa praised In
a majority report filed with th hous
by Senator Holll and Ksgtdal and
Representative Uaughlln. No censure
whatever waa given, the nearest thing
being that torn prisoners were found
who complained of having no under
wear sufficient lo their needs, and
this condition. It waa pointed out, H i-
easily remedied. ' t '
Representatives Lewelllng and
Smith submitted a minority report,
In which several severe charge were
mad a to the management of the
prison, and Governor Vet wa can
aured for hla official action In a num
ber of lustancea. The house filed both
report.
Otneral Appropriation Bill Patted.
Without nmklng a alngle amend
ment, the senate passed the general
appropriation bill for state offices and
boards just as It went through th
hour
Vurther expediting business, to far
a appropriation bills are concerned,
the senate passed all the University
of Oregon and agricultural college
bill. U In number, agpregHtlng $31?,
8.13 for the university and $306,000 for
the agrlcultuml school, these sums
being In addition to tha annual con
tinuing appropriations.
Scarcely had the bill been passed
before It ws announced that referen
dum petition will be circulated to
keep the school from receiving the
money the legislature has voted, ex-
cept one bill for each Institution car
rylng an additional maintenance fund
of IDO.VM for each Institution.
Eight Hour Bill Now Dead. .
The minimum wage bill, which ba
now been signed by th governor,
played an Important part In the defeat
of Lawrence's bill providing tor an
eight-hour working day for women,
with a limit of 48 hour a week.
The committee returned three re
ports on this bill, one the majority
report, being that It do not pass, sign
ed by Kiddle, Fay and Wood. They
reported back adversely on the ground
thnt a minimum wage bill had already
been signed by the governor and that
thla bill was unnecessary and uncalled
for under the conditions.
Revised Assembly I Plan
Under the provisions of a constitu
tional amendment which the legisla
ture la asked to put on the bullot for
the next general election In a resolu
tion Introduced in the house, the Ore
gon legislature, after 1916, would con
sist of 34 senator, one from each
county, and 69 representatives.
The amendment proposes to change
the whole system of legislative repre
sentation. It would place It on a pro
portional basis, with each county en
titled to one senator and no more, and
to at least one representative.
Irrigation Bill la Passed.
W 1th only slight opposition, the sen
ate passed the big $450,000 appropria
tion bill tor the Columbia Southern
Irrlgutlon project in Crook county.
This bill will enable the state to take

The Forest Area.
of the State
The statement sent out by the
secretary of state in January and"
published by the Journal that one
third of the total area in Oregon
wis included in the forest reserves
is misleading unless some further
explanation is made. While the
tJtal area figures are correct it
should be understood that a great
deal of the land located witl in the
boundaries of the national forest is
patented. For instance, over 88,
000 acres, or one-tenth of the totiE
area of the Ochoco forest is pri
vately owned. It should be remem1
bered further that a great deal of"
this land is worthless on account of -its
high elevation and rocky surfaces
It should also be taken into con
sideration that recent acts of con
gress provide that 25 per cent tf
the gross earnings from the forest .
reverts to the county where the
money was earned, and in addition?
to this, 10 per cent of the balance
is spent in the state where earned .
for the construction and improve
ment of roads and trails.
None of the resources of the?
forests are withheld from their:
legitimate uses.
Over one million board feet of"
timber was obtained free by settlersr-

purposes. Also 110,000 head of
sheep and 11,000 cattle and horses:
are grazed on this forest every sum

small areas are being fenced and.
used as pastures under permits
All mature timber is for sale- att
