POPULAR, ELECTION OF SENATORS.
Governor of Idaho Recommends a
Memorial to Congress.
BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 2L Governor Hunt
today sent a message to the- Legislature
urging that body to memaralize the United
States Senate to adopt the resolution sub
mitting a Constitutional amendment pro
viding for election of United States-Senators
by direct vote of the people. He
states that he Is in receipt of a com
munication from a joint committee of the
Pennsylvania Legislature, appointed to
secure such action by the various State
Legislatures. The Governor says, in part:
"The wishes of the states should be
made known to that body. The wishes pf
the people of the United States are al
ready known, having found expression
for many ears past in the conventions
and Legislatures of many states.
"So also is the position of Idaho well
known, and founded upon the fact that
the whole people should have the right
to vote upon candidates for the highest
office within the gift of the state."
SEVEREST COLD ON RECORD.
Such Is the Report Brought From
Alaska by the Al-Ki.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Jan, 2L
The steamship Al-Kl arrived today, five
days overdue from Skagway. Her officers
report that Alaska has been visited by
One of the severest storms known for
years, and that considerable damage has
resulted. High wlnd3 have prevailed, ac
companied by snow, and the cold has
been intense. On the run from Juneau to
Taku Inlet, a distance of 16 miles, two
men on the lookout were almost frozen
to death at their posts, and the vessel had
to return to Juneau, where the men were
placed In hospital for medical treatment.
After starting back to Juneau, the wind
swept down Gastmeux Channel with such
force that It took the Al-Kl four hours to
make the run of 16 miles.
The Al-Ki reports that the tug Pioneer,
sent north to town the City of Topeka
down, was wlndbound In Taku Inlet. The
passenger steamer Dolphin is several days
overdue from the north, and Is reported
stormbound. Many stamps at the Tread
well mine, on Douglas Island, are hung
up on account of the water supply be
ing frozen. The cold and the storm are
the worst known in Alaska, and grave
fears are entertained that when reports,
come from outlying sections the loss of
life and suffering will be large.

RESUMED THEIR LABORS
OREGON LEGISLATORS ARE IN SES
SION AGAIN.
Indian War Veterans' Appropriation
Has Been Made Available Imme
diatelyOther Business.
SALEM, Jan. 21. Both houses of the
Legislature met at 2 o'clock this afternoon
and quickly got to work. In the House an
amendment to the Indian War veterans'
bill was passed, making the appropria
tion available Immediately. A large num
ber of bills were introduced and passed
to second reading. In the Senate the
House amendment to the Indian War vet
erans' bill was concurred in. In both
houses tbe number of bills is rapidly
piling up and promises to flood the state
printer's office
Under suspension of the rules, Whit
ney of Linn County, succeeded in secur
ing final passage of House bill No, 3,
providing that the bridge across the
Wllllamette River be made a toll bridge.
Some years ago this bridge was con
structed at great expense by the citizens
of Albany and Linn County and a con
siderable amount of money was also sub
scribed from residents of Benton County,
Of late years the expense of maintain
ing the Albany bridge has been mora
than that city can meet, and in addi
tion to the usual municipal expenses.
Mr. Whitney stated, that It was a ques
tion either of allowing a revenue to he
received by tolls from those crossing
the bridge, or else of letting the bridge
rot away. The vote in favor of the bill
was almost unanimous.
A memorial was adopted hy the House,
urging the National Congress to pass the
Grout pure food bill. Mr. Eddy, who in
troduced tbe memorial, set forth in a
few well-chosen remarks the urgency of
such a law, as the proposed bill pro
vided for the protection It afforded hon
est dairymen against the introduction of
imitation products and that It was proper
that Oregon should promptly stand In
line In the effort to secure good re
sults. The purpose of the bill Introduced to
day by Senator Mays, of Multnomah, ap
propriating $5000 to the Oregon Historical
Society, is fully explained in the fol
lowing: Section 1. That there be and hereby Is
appropriated from any moneys In tho
treasury not otherwise appropriated to
the Oregon Historical Society, the sum
of $5000, the same to be paid by the
State Treasurer to the treasurer of said
Oregon Historical Society, when avail
able, and to be applied to the wants
of said society and the prosecution of
Its work.
H. W. Scott, editor of The Oregonian,
was at Salem today for the purpose
of looking after the Introduction of two
bills In which he has much Interest.
The first was for an appropriation of
$5000 to the Oregon Historical Society, of
which Mr. Scott is president, for the
prosecution of lta work, which may be
regarded as of the greatest value to the
whole state. The second is the appro
priation of JSO0Q for the completion of
the Oregon volunteers' monument fund
to $20,000 or more, and for the appoint
ment of a Board of Monument Commis
sioners. The two hills Introduced today by Sen
ator Hunt, of Multnomah, providing for
primary elections, are knwn as the Mor
gan and Lockwood laws, respectively. The
Bingham law will be introduced later in
tha week. The object In introducing all
three bills Is to get provisions of the
various measures before the committees,
so that the merits of each may be fully
considered and the best of oacn bo In
corporated in the bill finally recom
mended for passage.
The last Legislature passed an act
providing for the election of Road Su
pervisors Instead of their appointment
bv tve county courts. The latter method
had prevailed ever since a system of road
supervision was adopted. One year's ex
perience under-the new procedure seems
to have comlnced the residents of some
sections of the state that the old sys
tem, with all Its faults, was better than
the present. In response to a demand
for a partial return to tho old, appoint
ive system, Senator Stelwer, of Gilliam,
Grant, Sherman, Wasco and Wheeler
counties, has introduced a bill authoriz
ing county courts, whenever they deem
it best, to appoint the supervisors, in
stead of having them elected.
At any time the court of any county
qf less than 50,000 inhabitants may de
clare the change by making an entry
thereof on its Journal. Thereupon the
term of office of each person elected or
appointed as road supervisor In such
county shall Immediately expire, and be
terminated and the office each of such
persons as such road supervisor shall be
deemed vacant and that part of the law
relating to the election of road super
visors shall not apply to such county at
any time thereafter, but such court shall
Immediately lay off such county into one
or more road districts and appoint a su
pervisor for each. The bill also provides
that when any person shall fall or refuse
to accept tho appointment of supervisor,
he shall be fined In the sum of $25, to
be appropriated to road purposes In the
district for which such person shall havo
been appointed, but the County Court
may excuse such supervisor.
McCraken of Multnomah has intro
duced a bill, at the request of a num
ber of Portland bicycle riders, which
provides that the County Commissioners
be authorized to construct paths, meet
ing the expense out of the road fund,
and also Imposing a tax of 25 cents on
all wheels the owners of which use the
paths. The payment of the small tax, It
Is anticipate, will be voluntary on the
part of riders.
Representative McQueen, who has been
heretofore unable to attend the sessions
by reason of Illness, was in his seat to
day. Mr. Story, of Multnomah, presided over
the House during the greater part of the
session today, Speaker Reeder being
necessarily absent. The former experience
of Mr. "Story as. a member of the Legis
lature well equips him to serve as tem
porary speaker, and under his careful
guidance, the business of the House was
considerably advanced.
Watson of Multnomah has Introduced
a bill which he particularly desires to
become a law. It makes It unlawful to
sell, serve or furnish liquors of any kind
Including wine or beer. In any hotel,
restaurant, boarding house or other
place. where meals, board or
lunches are furnished or provided for
the general public, except that such
liquors may be furnished by the bottle
or other original package. The penalty
offered for violation of this section of the
law is a fine not exceeding $300 nor less
than $50. or imprisonment till tho fine
Is paid. One-half the amount of fine
collected is to be paid to the informant.
The bill further provides that any per
son who shall provide, prepare or serve
alcoholic, vinous or malt liquors in any
hate!, restaurant, boarding house or other
place in- the State of Oregon, where meals
or lunches are furnished for the pubac,
on conviction shall be fined not more
than $300 nor less than $50. or imprison
ment until the same is paid, and all fines
so collected shall bo turned 6ver to the
school funds. It shall be no defense to
the prosecution under this act that the
t iT -iti i i mii
.jwt
accused prepared or served a lunch or
meal or liquor of any kind -without
cnargo therefor.
The Indian, war veterans' b1 has been
amended, so as to make the $2000 appropri
ation available immediately,
Tho Senate adopted a joint resolution
urging Congress to pass the Grout bill,
HOUSE COMMITTEES.
Speaker Reeder Made a Fair and
Judicious Apportionment.
.SALEM, Or., Jan. 21.-Speaker Reeder
announced tola standing committees to
day. The apportionment seems to have
been made most judiciously and fairly,
and with due regard to the. claims and
Interests of all the Representatives.
Smith of Marlon gets the ways and
means committee, a place for which his
experience peculiarly qualifies him. Story
of Multnomah is given the chairmanship
on railroads, an appointment that gives
most general satisfaction. Story and
bmitn were Reeders two opponents for
the Speakership. The Democratic minor
ity finds representation on about all the
Important committees. At least one-half
the members wanted to he on either tha
railroads or the fisheries and game com
mittees, but, of course, some had to be
disappointed. Otherwise, the Speaker was
able to comply with the requests of most
members and place them where they
wanted to be.
Heitkemper (Dem.) of Multnomah gets
the chairmanship of medicine and phar-i
macy; Hahn, elected on the union ticket,
has statistics and immigration; and Vin
cent, also elected on the union ticket,
has alcoholic traffic The two latter, how
ever, are Republicans, and are acting

A NEW PURE FOOD LAW,
General Revision Proposed of Meas
ure Sow on Statute Books.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 21. Eddy of Tilla
mook and Yamhill today Introduced an
entirely new dairy and food bill, repeal
ing the act of two years ago. It was first
proposed to amend the existing pure food
law, but, after a general revision, It was
found that so many changes were neces
sary that an entirely new measure, pre
serving many of tho salient points of the
present law, would prove mora satisfac
tory. Some time ago Commissioner Bai
ley framed numerous amendments to the
Looney bill of 1899, now In force, a resume
of which was published in The Oregonian.
Since then several new features have
been adopted, the more Important of
which are the following:
"Any person or persons, firm, associa
tion or corporation who shall, within the
State of Oregon, manufacture butter un
der the separator process for sale, shall
apply to the Commissioner for a stencil or
plate with the number of the oreamery
and the name of the manufacturer, and
where manufactured, and the words 'Ore
gon Creamery gutter. Full Weight,' and
an Impression of which snail De placed
on each box; and each roll of butter shall
bear a- wrapper similarly marked."
Section 6 provides for labelling the true
grade of cheese and that full cream
cheese shall not contain less than 30 per
cent butter-fat. LImburger, Swiss, Edam,
Brlcksteln. pineapple or hand-made cheese
not made by the cheddar process are ex
empt from the provisions of the section.
Section 25 provides that no manure shall
be deposited within 150 feet of any barn In
which dairy cows are stabled.
In all prosecutions under the proposed
act the fines collected are to. be trans
mitted to the State Treasurer, and kept
In a separata fund, to be known as the
"pure food fund." This fund shall be
subject to orders drawn against it by the
Dairy and Food Commissioner for the
purpose of enforcing the act.
Bill for Jury and "Witness Fees.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 21, The only break
In the usual even tenor of affairs In the
Senate today occurred when 'Senator
Marsters, endeavored to secure the pas
sage of Senate bill 17, fixing jury and
witness fees in Douglas County. After
the Senate had voted without dissent to
put the bill on final passage, Smith of
Baker questioned Its constitutionality,
and asked that the bill be referred to the
judiciary committee. Marster3 would not
consent to this, so tho Senate reconsidered
the vote to put on final passage, voted It
down and referred the bill to the judiciary
commmlttee, over Marsters' objection.
The bill was thought to be unconstitu
tional because it applied to only one
county.
Charter Bills Passed hy Senate,
SALEM, Or., Jftn, 21. Charter bills for
the following cities were passed by t&e
Senate today: Summervllle, Union Coun
ty; Sllverton, Marlon County: Baker City,
Baker County; Canyonville, Douglas
County, and Roseburg. Douglas County.
