Saturday, March 22. Wheat According to the Oregonian Lose. of this morning, half a mil lion acreB of winter wheat have been resown in Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho, the result of the Febru aiy frosts, which came down with a kil ling effect on a number of unprotected lacalities in the three itatea. Umatilla county alone was damaged to the extent of 100,000 acres. Walla Walla county was still harder hit. Eareka flat, which produces more big crops than any other section in Washington, was practically all reseeded, and there is a big winter wheat district in the Palouse that will this year be planted in spring grain af ter the fall wheat was wiped out en tirely or left in such struggling patches that it was drilled over and resown. Conflicting reports have been coming in from the wheat districts since the cold weather nearly two months ago, but it was not until the last few days of warmer weather that the full ext'-nt of the damage was learned, and some fields which had appaently come throngh the winter all right are now be ing reseeded. In Oregon the greater pait of the damage is con lined to Uma tilla county. The exact elF'Ct of this damage cannot be determined until af ter harvest, as it cannot be determined until then how the spring-sown grain will yield. The house passed the river and har bor bill.

"And why does our county commis sioner's aourt cost the taxpayers $3, 308. 60, or $10 each week day in the year, and ihe Marion coumy commissioners $1,435 40? Why should it, ixjet Clackamas county in the year 1901 for county expenses the sum of $69,535 55, exclusive of the cost of roads, and Marion county only $44, 735 49." The Salem Sentinel thus comments on the above : "Thai's easy. Marion county has been netting on a cah basis.

The Initiative and Referendum amendment to the constitution on which the people vote next June is really very simple. It gives the legislature the new power to refer any law to the people, to take effect only if it is approved by a majority vote. It also leaves with the legislature power to declare that a law for the immediate pieservation of the public peace, health or safety shall take effect tiie day it is passed. This would Include the general appropriation bill, salaries of public officers, and similar j fixed charges of government. Any oth-1 er law, including practically all special appropriations, must be referred to the people when it i demanded by five per cent of the legal voters (which would be about 4500 signers at this time,) if the petition is Died within ninety days after the last day of the legislature. A peti tion for the Referendum cannot be for more than one law. A separate petition iB necessary for each law on which a vote of the people is demanded . Any proposed law must be submitted to the people, independent of the legis lator.; and the governor, if it is peti . lioued for by eight per cent ot thevot-' ers, which would require about seven I thousand signers in Oregon. This pti-1 tion must be filed with the Secretary of j fctaie not less than four months before ' the general election at which it is to be voted on . This Is the Initiative. The principal use of the Initiative ia to allow a hearing before the people to the agitators and advocates of new ideas in government, and thus do away with the excuse for new political parties. It is a cheap and convenient method of testing the p ipularity and growth of alleged re forms. 'I he experise to the public treasury, if the amendment is adopted, will be but a trihV only the cost of printing the questions on the olhcial ballot. No special elections can be had unless or dered by the legislature. The whole ex pense of getting up the petitions falls on the signers, the p.iblic treasury pays none of it Foley's Kidney Cure makes the kid neys and bladder right. Contain noth ing injurious.
