PASSED IN SENATE
Joseph objected to tlio Abraham
amendment, saying that the Somite
should not shirk a duty anil attempt
to make the labor commissioner re
sponsible. Miller objected that the
amendment was offered without unani
mous consent, whereupon Abraham
changed his motion to refer the bill
back to the committee, with Instruc
tions to Incorporate the amendment
to the orginnl bill, but (be motion was
lost.
Slnnott supported the bill. He said
the same objections were always
urged for the defeat of these sort of
measures, and that factories could
easily adjust their business to altered
conditions.
Albee said the condition was not one

The Gladstone council held an im

and fixed the salaries of the officers,
as follows: Recorder, $130 per year;
treasurer, $50 per year, and marshal
$25 per year. Charles T. Tooze was
celved from The Dalles In regard to
the hotel at that place, which pays a
25 per cent dividend. The money for

men of Oregon City are law abiding ,
citizens, not drunks and criminals j
and should certainly have as much :

Senator read the published statements

To prevent the spread of disease.

Regulating traffic on streets and
the speed of automobiles.
Adopting rules of order.
Regulating fees of the city attor

These ordinances are modeled after
i
that all apples must lie packed at the
warehouse of the 1'nlon or else by
Cnlon packers. Tho I'tilon will choose
packers and Instruct them In the
work. There Is nn order In now for
a car of apples and they must be

resolution.

A. J. Lewis was elected a delegate
to the convention of apple growers at
Walla Walla, to be held February 28.
There will be a fanner's meeting
held in the Court House Friday, Feb
ruary 10. nt 2 p. m. This meeting
will be presided over by the president
of the fnlon, ('. W. Waldron, and all
farmers and fruit growers are urged
to be present. There will be a pro
gram and talks on grading apples and
potatoes.
The business of the Cnlon Is Blurt

wish of those Interested In lhj work j
that the I'nion Is to accomplish that
as many Join as possible. "In union
there Is strength" and the more melic

It Is the belief of those who have
studied the matter of growers' unions
that the Oregon City I'lilmi has a
bright future before it. As it has the
experience of oihers to go by It Is the
general belief that this I'nion will

SALEM, Or., Jan. 27. (Spl.)
State Senator Chase has Introduced a
bill that Is nothing if not unusual. It
pertains to unclean children and fol
lows:
"Any board of directors may nro-
nioit ine attendance of any vermin
infected or unsanitary pupil upon the
schools under their control, and said
board of directors may require the
city or county health officer to make
an examination of any pupil who ma)
be suspected of having any vermin, or
of being In an unsanitary condition of
the body or clothing, and may require
the parents or guardian of such pupil
to put such pupil in a sanitary condi
tion before returning to school."

In that city in the way for the city's
beautiflcallon and permanent Im

brated landscape architect, of Cam
bridge, Massachusetts, had been cm
ployed to make the plans. A number
of committees of citizens were work
ing with him, holding mass meetings,
taking the sentiment of the commu
nity on the proposed plans as they
were being developed! Millions upon

in our own state most of the towns
are as yet near the beginning of their
development. No doubt the decade on
which we have entered will bring
parts of the state, and so not to de
pond solely on local talent, as hereto
fore. Mrs. Dlckerson, who Is a member of
the Women's Work Club of Oswego,
told how this club was working at
that place, and what Is being accom
plished. Mr. Dlckerson gave so ne In
structions, which were appreciated as
to the secret work, and he was fo
lowed by Captain J. T. Apperson, who
gave a short address which was well
received, as well as the others who
spoke.
The next meeting of Abernethy
Orange will be held at tho Grange hall
on the last Saturday In February.
There were about 40 members of the
grange atlendlng Saturday's meeting,
and there was much Interest manifest
