U'Ren of Clackamas In his remarks In the house last Thursday nude this state ments "The house is composed of three minorities, neither one of which can organize, consequently there will have to be a union of two of these minorities to get a quorum J the minority that I re present are standing out on their con stitutional rights.' A populist was heard to remark : "We don't intend to let the house organize unt:l the republicans pledge themselves to elect Bourne speaker, pass a registry law and abolish all useless commissions and cut off the pay of the boards of the asylum, reform school.etc." Statesman . Senate adjourned from Thursday till Monday. Mr. Burkley's bill providing for pre cinct organization, introduced and dis cussed in the house last session, will be introduced this session. It has many supporters among the members. Every day the Mitchell men are at their desks in the house ready for work. Stat-mnan. What kind of work? The same kind the senate is doing, where 57 clerks are drawing from $3 to $10 t day doing nothing? Journal, Mr. U'Ren has prepared a house joint resolution. It proposes an initiative and referendum amendment to the constitu tion. The resolution provides that two fifths of all the members of the legisla ture shall have power to refer any bill or part thereof to the electors of Oregon for approval or rejection at the net ! general or special election. I Senator Brownell has introduced, by request, a bilL designed to correct a trouble that has inflicted many legisla tures. It it the relocation of county seats. ' i The bill of Senator Driver, making it a misdemeanor for any member of the legislature to refuse to particijwte in the organization, and forfeiting his seat when he has remained out 10 days or more, is evidently intended for campaign effect. The bill, of course, cannot . be made re troactive, and will not apply to mem bers of the present session. It is likely to meet very decided opposition, on the ground that it is unconstitutional. Pledges made to a silver Mitchell in June are not now redeemable in gold unless we repeal the specific contract law. Journal ' Senator P.rownell has been confined to his bed by sickness for several (lays. Senator Daly's bill to exempt home steads from attachment and judicial sale fixes the maximum amount at $1500.

From indications they will have lots of work to do before they can make lumber. Sturges Brothers are running their new sawmill on full time now. There will be several new buildings erected in Molallu this season. The citizens of this locality met re ccntly and organized a mock United States senate. It. F. Dibble was elected president, John Everhart vice-president and Mike Clifford seargont at arm&. They will meet every Friday evening at Harless hall. Our mock law suits have adjourned sine die in last case heard. The prose cuting witness, owing to conflicting evidence, came very near being found guilty. The jury stood five to one for conviction. J. W. Thomas has built a flume and put in a Turbine wheel, erected a neat little building and expects to run a chopper and turning lathe. He at pruc!thaB eight horse-power but ex pt:: h toj develope at least twenty-five. Everviinng so far is put up first-class and runfe nicely. Whislj parties are all the rage here at present One of the best players has rcsigi.i'fj. He gets excitea occasionally mi l juuips a few cogs. The teazle trimmers at the Teazle farm are expecting to give an entertain ment in the near future. U is reported that Samuel Gregory is lii'.citding to put up teazle works ati Mula la. He has several acres of grow ing teazles on Arthur Kayler's place, Teazle raising and preparing is an in dustry that requires the employment of several hands and will give employment tomei, women and children. It will certainly be a benefit to our village and ought to be encouraged. It is said that liregortr thoroughly understands the teazle business. Jan. b. X Y Z JUKY LIST.

Rear Era MULINO. Mr. H. H. Johnston, surveyor of Ore gon City, has been engaged the last few days laying out quite a number of town lots, also a new street, which overlooks Milk Creek, the sawmill and most of the village. It is a most desirable building location and the lots are being rapidly-taken. Geo. MeOord has moved his Jigging. camp to Milk Creek, where the logs for the now sawmill are rapidly being rolled into the creek. The school is again closed for an in definite period of time. Miss Randall, the teacher left for her home at New Era last Saturday. We will all miss Miss Randall very much. In her short stay among us, she made many friends.. The school entertainment held last Friday night, was well attended, the house being crowded. A spicy pro gramme was rendered in good style.. All present were well pleased with the entertainment throughout. The creamery meeting held here on Monday, the 11th, was a success, O. T. . Howard, A. Woodsideand Dr.R.Goucher, were chosen as incorporators. Quite a. umber of shares havo been subscribed. t is expected the full amount will be ubscribed before next meeting. Jan. 18. Nit. CANEMAH. There has been quite a lot of illness here during the past two weeks. La grippe seems to be the chief trouble.. Harry Spencer who was working in the-' pulp mill, had part of one of his fingers cut off. Modern machinery produces great results, but it is rather dangerous for operators. William McCord has been appointed! road master for this district . He is an industrious man and promises to make a good supervisor. Mr. Bowers of west side will soon re move to his old dwelling at this place. Canemah is dragging along the same as usual and the winter will soon be passed and there has not been any at tempt to organize some kind of a. society. But it might be the nature of the place and it would be useless to. make any attempt to such an end. Jan. 19th. PkouhkhS.- offered by each : Bates 2, Brownell 9, i , i Cal breath 2. Carter l.Dalv 5.
