Not Great
SALEM, Feb. 24 The amended
superior court bill passed the Senate
today without considerable opposi
tion. This bill does not give to each
countya judge, but leaves some coun
ties in groups. Eight more judges
are added to the present number.

makes provision that the duties of
the county judges relative to probate
and judicial matters are transferred
to the circuit judges and the county
judges are leit with the business ad
ministration of county affairs only.
Their salaries are left the same and
the county judges are to remain in
office. The additional circuit judges
that are to be placed in office are to
be appointed by the Governor.
The division of circuit judges will
be as follows under the amended bill:
Baker, one judge; Clackamas, one
judge; Clatsop and Columbia, one
judge; Coos and Curry, one judge;
Crook, one judge; Douglas, one judge;
Grant and Harney, one judge; Mal

Senator Miller endeavored to secure
one judge for Linn County, leaving
Marion and Linn in separate districts
by themselves. This motion was ob

made. Consequently Miller voted no
on the entire bill. The vote on the
bill follows:

Investigation Into Deaths of Presi
dent and Vice-President Is
to be Made Immediately
WASHINGTON, . Feb. 24. Military
orders flew thick and fast today, in
redemption of President Taft's prom
ise to have an army of 10,000 men as
sembled at Galveston, the most con
venient port to Mexico, all equipped
for foreign service and ready to exe
cute any order that his successor
might choose to issue upon the basis
of the conditions that exist after
March 4.
These orders on the whole were
supplementary to those which began
last week to flow from the War De
partment and were calculated to as
ure the assemblage of the second div
ision ot the reorganized army at or
near the neighborhood of Galveston.
The completion of the orders to
move the entire second division is
intended" as further warning to Miex
ico that theie will be no departure
from the established policy of pre
paredness in the remaining week of
President Taft's administration.
All plans for the possible sending
of troops into the republic to the
South will continue to be carried out.
This course is justified on the ground
that any cessation in the closing
days, or even hours, of the Taft ad
ministration might be seized upon by
Mexican malcontentents as ah oppor
tunity for a strike at Americans,
which could not be adequately over
come fihould officials relax their vig
ilance. Major-General William H. Carter,
who commands the Second Division,
was ordered todiy from Chicago to
Galveston. This will be the second
time that this officer has had the
honor of eommandine a complete di
vision of troops within the limits of
Texas.

H. L. Burnette, - editor of "The
Little White Dove", a paper devoted
to" the interests of Zion City and the
teachings of its founder, Alexander
Dowie, has written to County Record

cites the teachings of the creed and
declares that the Savior has return
ed to earth and is doing a gre. work
in Zion City. It is signed by Bur

was inclosed and the recorder ' was
asked to let Burnette know at once
what would be the filing fee.
"I hardly know what to' do in this
case," said Mr. Dedman, "but I sup
pose the thing to do is to file the dec

connected with the office. It might
be well to get the opinion of "a law
