It 1- not regarded ts likely that the bill will pass, though it has been customary for some time past for one legislature to UDdo what the preceding legislature has done in this particular. The condition of Miss Grace Huff is much improved, and her physician announces that she is practically" out of dangfr. The change for the better came at a time when the greatest concern was felt for Miss Huffs safety, as a result of a most serious attack of appendi citis. During the crisis which ex tended over several days wide con cern was manifest throughout the towo and inquiries concerning the case were universal. ' .

Nearly all the bills have an emer gency clause, that is, a clause de claring that the peace, health and public safety are endangered, that the bill shall take effect immediate ly after its approval by the gover nor. Of course, a legitimate rea son ex'sts in some cases for the emergency clause, but in many of them the purpose is to get the bill passed in such a way that it will1 not be subject to referendum veto by tbe people. The supreme court has held that laws needed to pro mote or protect the peace, health or public safety may have the emer gency clause, and that such -bills cannot be submitted under the ref erendum for approval or rejection by the people. Accordingly, to put their bills out of the reach of the dear and dangerous people, and bey and chance of the veto these selfsame people have in the referen dum, the leeislators are prone to add an emergency clause to nearly all bills. , 0?er 1, 000 Members, The 2500 of Albany, Oregon, has now over l.ooo members, and is increasing- rapidly; It costs now $2.50 to join, the applicant paying his own examination fee to tbe doc tor.
