SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION. The matter ol calling a special session of the legislature to remedy the somewhat profligate appropriations of the last regular meeting of that body, Is being seriously considered by Governor Lord, and the sub ject is provoking much discussion pro and con. The wisdom ol calling such a special session is seriously doubted. Fast exper ience proves that it costs money to hold sessions of the legislature, and a special ses . aion now would be no exception to the rule. The statement is made tbat the members of the last legislature were so handicapped in the fight over the election of a United States senator, that they were unable to properly pass laws for the benefit of the people; that legislation was obstructed in eTery possible way, to the detriment of the taxpayers of the state. While it might be possible for a special legislature to do away with some of the useless commissions, and cut down the expenses ol county and state governments to a considerable extent, the fact stands out prominently that the cost of correcting the extravagant legislation of the eighteenth regular session, would likely amount to a larger sum than the probable retrenchment to be made in all departments for the succeeding two years. The state levy for tax purposes has reached a higher figure than has been known for many years. Okki'.on City is to have another represen tative state gathering In May, the State Christian Endeavor convention. The exe cutive committee of the local union are already actively at work making prepara tions for (he great event, and the proper committees have been appointed. This con vention will consist of several li unbred young people,repre-enling the various evan gelical religious organizations of Oregon. This will be a gathering of the better class of young people of the state, and our citi zens should materially aid the Kndeavor union in properly entertaining them. It will be one of the very best opportunities of advertising Oregon City. Th a details have been arranged and the preparations completed tor the holding of the national republican convention in bt. awt. The sub-coninuttce appointed to do the work have signed a contract with the business men's league for the care of the national convention to be held June ltSth The convention will be held in the exposi tion building, which will be remodeled to seat 15,tXiO people. It was decided tbat visit ins republicans would have to look to the delegates of their respective districts for tickets to the convention, but the usual number of tickets will be given to the local committee. SPI1UT OF THE PRESS. Since the Estehprisk railed attention to the move that was under way to add a road commission to our already large list ol use less state commissions, the press of the state has generally condemned the commis sion as an expensive luxury. The following from the Portland Chronicle is a sample of what is being said of the commission : The next legislature of this state is ad vised by the iwople that it wilt be unneces sary to Umpei with the road laws. It is intimated that the subject is to be brought before the law-making body and that there will be a half dozen gentlemen on hand to suggest that a commission be formed to look out for the public highways. Some man who has an eye oat for a soft job in the future wants a commission created here similar to the one formed last year in California. I'seless, but very ornamental and costly. The commission consists of three persons who hold ottice for two years, and each draws a salary of t ' Dcr annum. A l.iiuir Fell Hunt.

King, of Maniumn, now lan guishes in the county jail. He was brought in Friday on a committment from Justice J. K. Jack's court, charged with the larceny of a steer from Kvetett Judd. King and tieorge W. Jhcksoii, jr., were both hold to the grand jury in the sum of $AXI on the same charge. Jack son, however, gave satisfactory bonds and was released.

With the exense of an extra session of This cfist5 the taxpayers J:p) per year the legislature saddled upon the taxpayers, it is not improbable but what the state board would have to add another mill next year to meet the expenses of an already overburdened commonwealth. There can be no question but what there was much unwise and extrav agant legislation, that has become part and parcel of our statutes, which was difficult to avoid in the coi, dieting entanglements, constquent upon a bit ter contest for the election ol a t'uiied States senator. But the question forcibly presents itself : Would a special session of the legislature be a matter ol economy to the taxpayers of Oregon? Past experience and a knowledge of legislatures in general, proves that it would not. It would be a matter of impractical impossibility to hold a special or regular session of the legislature without expense to the people. Taking all these facts into consideration, it would seem to be better to bear the burden of the ills tbat now encompass us, than to jump into the arms of others made possible by con vening a special session. It is to be expected that the success of the poultry show field at Portland las', week, will have the result ot stimulating the business of poultry raising in Clacka mas county. This is a profitable business that bas heretofore been neglected to a con siderable extent in this county. On many occasions eggs have been sbiped by the car load from the East, and at times there is a scarcity of poultry in the market. The Portland market is never glutted with this product, although at times the selling pnee of the article may reach a minimum figure. Eggs and poultry bave always been and will continue to be a cash article in the Portland market, and there is not much danger of over-proouction. San Francisco uses immense quantities of these commucli ties, and makes an excellent competitive market for them. Salern has tried the plan of shipping poultry in car load lots to Han Francisco with most satisfactcy results. These articles always bring cash at some price, and the market is not affected by over-production in foreign countries, as is often the case with wheat. These facts iibeuld stimulate our farmers to pay more attention to poultry raising, and to make special ef!ort;to improve tbeir breed of poul try. It costs no more to feed improved breeds of fowls than the ordinary everyday chicken. quite a snug sum, For what? Well, the commissions have junketing parties, collect statistics mark Unit and hold " good roads institutes"' in each collnlv of thest:ite once a year! All this the commissioners I do, to say nothingof the voluminous reports which they submit at the end of each year showing what is accomplished by reason (if their existence. They draw their salaries and declare it's a great thing; ami it is for them. As for the people it is Ow thrown away. Oregon has no need of a road com mission. The state is burdened witli too many commissions now which are utterly useless. Uoad building has not reached that degree of importance where it is neces sary to have a commission to look after them. What road building is done for the next few years w ill be due to the efforts of the various counties. The money which goes for useless commissions hod better be expended directly for work and materials News, Nature, Invention, Botany, Elec tricity, Chemistry, Medicine, Hygiene, Health.
