Of course cannot speak lor tne

It comes "up almost every two years
or aa aoon as the Legislators return
from their forty daya and nights of
labors. , It Is stated In olden tlmea
that for a like period the rains fell
nd tbe water rose until toe lands
were flooded and no where could
anything be seen but water, but tbe
only remaining inhabitanta, those In
the Ark. were promised a line riooa

like number of daya and nlghta have
flooded the statute books with law
and efforia which nave done mora
damage to thla atate from an Indus
trial and commercial standpoint than
another flood of olden times could
do. but this Is not exactly to the
point. The new Annexation law ia
little or no different than tbe one
hlch haa existed for yeara. at the
aame time It Is now on th books and
the people, I suppose must try it
nut- hut as far aa annexation to
Oregon City or any other city being
