SALEM, Or.. Jan. 21. (Staff correspondences-Governor
Chamberlain has received
the Portland charter as passed by both
"houses and eigned by the President and
Speaker. President Brownell affixed his
signature to the instrument this morning.
"No, I have not yet signed the charter,
said the Governor this afternoon.
"When do vou expect to do so?' -was
asked.
"Perhcjw tomorrow. I have not yet
read it."
C. F. Adams, treasurer of the "Port of
Portand Commission, and J. C. Flanders,
attorney for the commission, are at the
capital In the interest of the bill to author
ize the board to issue $300,000 In bonds for
refunding purposes. The bill was In
troduced In the House by Sanderson Reed,
of Multnomah. It authorizes the com
mission to issue bonds in denominations
of not less than S100 nor more than $1000,
bearing interest of not more than 4 per
cent.
"You can't trust those Salem or Port
land fellows much," remarked C. P. John
son candidly. "I keep my desk locked."
"Whv?" was asked.
"Well, you ?ee, I don't know what might
happen. Hores my friend -Mr. oinn, ne
lost a brand new codo."
"That's right," put in Mr. GInn. "I had
hardly one glance at the books until they
were gone hardly a single glance."
"You ought to feel relieved," suggested
a bystander. "They're pretty hard read
ing." Mr. Ginn looked as if the loss did not
concern him very much. Then somebody
asked:
"Where did the books go?"
"Don't ask me," replied Mr. Glnn. very
much immersed In the work of lawmak
ing. "You don't mean to intimate that
they're In soak?"
"Not that I know of." returned Mr.
Glnn, and looked so Innocent that the
questioner was ashamed of himself.
"Oh, no," interjected Mr. Johnson, "Mr.
Glnn doesn't have to put anything In
oak. I can vouch for that."
"Thank you," was what Mr. Glnn said
in a grateful look and then remarked:
"See this key? It came from a hotel at
Portland. I didn't do It on purpose, no
Indeed," he added hastily. "But I feel as
if I was closer toward getting even."
"You might think." remarked Mr. John
son busily engaged with his bill file,
"that I was a sheepherder, but I'm not."
"How's that?"
"From the way I'm getting thing?
posted up in this file. Guess I'll have tc
call for a basin of water and a towel ho
added. "But I'm going to put it carefully
away. You can't trust these Salem or
Portland fellows much," and Mr. John
son resumed silent communion with his
companionable pipe.
"I'm a poor lawmaker," modestly said
T. N. Burgess, of "Wasco.
His friends couldn't believe him and it
was us to him to explain.
'Tm a cowpuncher. A cowpuncher can't
be a very good lawmaker.
Mr. Burgess friends couldn't believe
this either, and so he defended himself
once more by saying: TTes, I m a cow
puncher. I've punched cows all my life."
"Well," said one of his auditors, "if
you're as good a cowpuncher as you are
a legislator, you must be a pretty big
success."
Mr. Burgess is active in the House and
one of its handsomest members. He has i
an eye wide open to business and watches
every opportunity that comes his way to
help him along with 'the measures in his
charge. His diligence has resulted in
the referrlpg of his bill to create the
County of Stockman, In Eastern Oregon,
to a special committee of the Twenty
first and Twenty-eighth Districts. Under
ordinary circumstances- this bill would go
to the committee on counties.
B. L. Eddy, of Tillamook, who was de
feated by Harris of Lane for Speaker,
is one of the most active members of
the House. He has a good knowledge of
prallamentary procedure and is an effec
tive speaker. Mr. Eddy's acquaintance
with parliamentary usage has made him
an authority among his fellow lawmakers.
The Tillamook, gentleman is more at his
desk than any member of the House.
"You're the hardest worker of the
Houso," said a Teporter.
"Indeed?" responded Mr. Eddy, and
added: "Now if that's meant as a compli
ment, what can I do for you?"
"Give us some news," requested the
scribe.
"Well, now, I don't think I have any
newe. But, there's the Senatorial "
"oodl You certajnly. know something
about that."
"No, I'm sorry .to eayvl oon't."
"Don't you know how It's going to go?"
"Wish I did," replied the gentleman. "I
might tell you and yet again," he added
suspiciously eyeing the questioner, "I
might not."
"But," added Mr. Eddy, "you might
write a story about the prudent man that
Xoreseeth and hideth away."
"You mean the dark horse for Senator?'
'.'Oh, no. I mean the fellow that gets
busy around here and takes things that
don't belong to him."
"Have you lest anything?"
"No.' I haven't, but others have. And."
continued Mr. Eddy, "there's another
thing. See all those papers and bills?"
AYes. what about them?"
"Well. I think we should pass a reso
lution to keep that stuff trom piling up,
A' m.an can't make laws when he can't
even &ee his desk. But, ho, hum,', sighed
the gentleman and wrent to supper to
forget his troubles.
"Don't get my name in the newspaper.
ordered D. M, C Gault, Representative
from Washington County. "Don't do it
any more."
"Why?"
"Well, If you do, I won't give you any
more news."
"Why why. what's the matter?"
, "Tm- not stuck after, .getting my. name
In print. I run a newspaper myself,"
added the Washington County gentleman
proudly.
5Dld you ever have your photograph
taken on .Sunday?"
"Not on your life," responded Mr. Gaull
positively, and the. reporter's attempt to
gel him. tangled up jailed dismally. Mr.
Gault is fathering a bill to prohibit pho
tographers from doing business on Sun
day
Mr. Gault is the man who fought the
Lewis and Clark Fair bill. He doesn't
think that Portland should have the Fair
until It allows the Hillsboro Electric Rail-
road to enter the city. When Mr. Eddy.
acting Speaker, was hurrying along the
business of the House so as to get prompt
action on the Fair bin, Mr. Gault was try
ing to stay the proceedings.
"That man Eddy," sputtered Mr. Gault
after adjournment, "that man Eddy is the
most arbitrary officer I ever saw."
"Why?" was asked.
"Oh, he's a tyrant. I hate arbitrary
men.
Mr Gault is one of the gentlemen who

SENATOR DALY INTRODUCES BILL
AGAINST MONOPOLIES.
"I'm earning my salary," remarked G.
W. Phelps, of Morrow, as he bustled by in
a hurry. "I'm earning my salary."
Mr. Phelps Is one o the active young
members of the House. Although he sits
at the rear he makes himself heard by
every member of the chamber. He is
chairman of the committee on assessment
and taxation, one of the mast important
working bodies of the House. He has
prepared two bills, which will take promi
nent place. One of them Is for a more
effective system of assessment and collec
tion of taxes. It 'makes taxes payable In
the Fall of the year. Another bill of his
relates to tho use of water from flowing
streams and to riparian rights. Mr,
Phelps Is confident that he will succeed
in getting h!s measures enacted.
"Yes," said he, "I think I am earning
my 53 a day. I am working harder here
than I do at home."
C. A. Danneman, of Gilliam, is recover
ing from an Injury which he received from
horse falling upon his foot. NMr.
Danneman has been limping around on a
cane with his foot In a bundle. He la
fast recovering and has already resumed
the use of the usual sized boot. He thinks
hlB recovers Is due largely to the curative
powers which his deep Interest in legis
lation has exerted.
"I'm forgetting all about that foot."
said Mr. Danneman, "and its getting
better," and he looked at it for the first
time that day. "Why." he went on. "1
have so much to do that I don't even
have time to think of my cane."
Could you use the toe of your boot on
anybody yet?"
"Not very effectively, but I shouldn't
wish to do that anyway. I'm no kicker,"
ana jar. uanneman resumed lawmaking
where he had left off.

It I Mntlc Criminal Offense to Form
Combination to Fx Prices pr
to Restrain Trade.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 21. (Staff correspond
ence.) Senator Daly has Introduced In the
Senate a sweeping measure, for the pre
vention of trusts and monopolies. The
bill proposes to declare It a criminal of
fense for any person or corporation to en
ter into any agreement for or with any
other person or corporation for the pur
pose of fixing the price of any article,
merchandise or commodity, or to fix the
rates for insurance. Heavy penalties are
provided, and contracts for the founda
tion of pools, or for the carrying out of
their purposes or for the sale of their
products are declared void. Purchasers
of articles made and sold in violation of
this act need not be paid for, and If paid
for the purchase price may be recovered.
The scope of the Daly bill Is shown by
the first section, which Is as follows:
"Any corporation organized under the
laws of this or any other state or coun
try, and transacting or conducting any
kind of business In this state, or any part
nership, or Individual, or other associa
tion of persons whatsoever, who shall cre
ate, enter Into, become a member of or
a party to any pool, trust, agreement,
combination, confederation or understand
ing with any other corporation, partner
ship, Individual or any other person or
association of persons, to regulate or fix
the price of any article of manufacture,
mechanism, merchandise, commodity,
convonlence, repair, any product ot min
ing, or any article or thing whatsoever,
or the price or premium to be paid for
insuring property against loss or dam-
person Is "not a member of the pool, or to
boycott any person corporation or use
any threats for the purpose of Inducing
any person to deal or not to deal with any
person or corporation.
Violation of the act Is made punishable
by fine of J2O0 to $5000. and any corpora
tion which violates the act may suffer
forfeiture of its franchise. The Attorney
General and Prosecuting Attorneys are
charged with the duty of bringing actions
to prosecute violations of the act.
SENATE ACTION ON AMENDMENTS.
Division on Chanpre of Date of Elec
tion Ilonne Rnle to Be Considered.
SALEM. Jan. 21. (Special.) There was
a division in the Senate on the adoption of
the resolution for an amendment to the
constitution changing the time of holding
general elections In November instead of
in June. The vote stood 17 In favor and
9 against the adoption of tho resolution,
with four Senators absent, Those voting
"no" were Senators Daly, Dlmmlck, Hol
man, Howe, Mays, Myers, Pierce, Wade
and Wehrung. The resolution was not
discussed, and the division was not upon
any political lines. Democrats generally
oppose the change, for the reason that in
Oregon the holding of state and county
elections at the same time as National
elections would lessen the chance of Dem
ocratic success In local matters.
The resolution adopted by the Legisla
ture of 1901 for an amendment to the con
stitution nutliorizlng the establishment of
state asylums and schools away from the
capital was passed by the Senate without
discussion. There were three or four dis
senting votes.
The proposed "home rule for cities"
amendment to the constitution came up
in the Seriate this morning; but because a
number of the Senators did not under
stand it, the resolution was laid on the
table until some later time. The resolution
passed both houses at the last session and
was printed in the session laws. If it
passes both houses at this session it will
go before the people for their approval.
Tne proposed amendment provides that

TO PERFECT CLERKSHIP LAW.
Bills May Be Enrolled With Type
writers Instead of "With Pen.
SALEM, Jan. 2L (Special.) Senator
Kuykcndall tills morning Introduced a bill
in the Senate, which, if passed, will make
several needful changes In the clerkship
law which bears his name. The bill pro
vides that on tho first day of a legisla
tive session five expert stenographers be
employed, and that the committee clerks
shall not be employed until' the commit
tees have been named. Then the clerks
are to be nominated by the several com
mittees, and elected by the Senate. This
means that the clerks will bo satisfactory
to the committees. No clerks except tho
five expert stenographers are to be em
ployed before the second Monday. The
purpose of this is to provide clerks suffi
cient to take dictations and write letters
and bills for the Senators without burden
ing the state with an unnecessary payroll.
Another proposed change, which will
greatly expedite business, is a provision
that the enrolling and engrossing of bills
may be In typewriting. Heretofore it has
been the rule that bills must be enrolled
with a 'pen. The change, if made, will
make it possible to copy bills more rap
Idly and if members and committees pre
pare all their bills in duplicate or tripli
cate, by the use of carbon sheets, a very
large amount of copying may be saved.
Kuykendall's new measure also nrovldes
that at the beginning of the 'sixth week of
the session, the Senate may employ as
many additional clerks as may be necessary.
maintain said price when so regulated
or fixed, or shall enter Into, become a
member of or a party to any pool, agree
ment, combination, contract, association
or confederation to fix or limit the amount
or quantity of any article of manufacture,
mechanism, merchandise, commodity, con
venience, repair, any product of mining,
or any article or thing whatsoever, or tho
price or premium to be paid for Insuring
property against loss or damage by fire,
lightning, storm, cyclone, tornado, or any
other kind of policy Issued by any cor
poration, partnership, Individual, or as
sociation of persons aforesaid, shall be
deemed and adjudged guilty of a con
spiracy to defraud, and to be subject to
the penalties- as provided by this act."
A monopoly Is defined as follows:
"A 'monopoly Is any union or combina
tion or consolidation or affiliation of cap
ital, credit, property, assets, trade, cus
tom, skill or acts, or of any other valu
able thing or possession, by or between
persons, firms or corporations, or associa
tions of persons, firms or corporations,
whereby any one of the purposes or ob
jects mentioned in this act is ac
complished or sought to b accomplished,
or whereby any one or more of said pur
poses are promoted or attempted to be
executed or carred out, or whereby the
several results described herein are rea
sonably calculated to be produced; and
a 'monopoly' as thus denned and con
templated Includes not merely such com
binations by and between two or more
persons, firms or corporations acting for
themselves, but is especially defined and
Intended to Include all aggregations,
amalgamations, affiliations, consolidations
or Incorporations of capital, skill, credit,
assets, property, custom, trade or other
valuable thing or possession, whether ef
fected by the ordinary methods of part
nership or by actual union under the le
gal form of a corporation or an incor
porated body resulting from the union
of one or more distinct firms or corpora
tions, or by the purchase, acquisition or
control of shares or certificates of stock
or bonds, or other corporate property or
franchise, and all corporations or partner
ships that have been or may he created
by the consolidation or amalgamation of
the separate capital, stock, bonds, as
sets, credit, properties, custom, trade or
corporate or firm belongings of two or
more firms or corporations or companies
are especially declared to constitute
monopolies within the meaning of this
act, if so created or entered Into for any
one or more of the purposes named In
this act; and a 'monopoly,' as defined in
this section, is hereby declared to be un
lawful and against the public policy, and
any and all persons, firms, corporations
or association of persons engaged therein
shall be deemed and adjudged guilty of
a conspiracy to defraud, and shall be
subject to the penalties prescribed In this
act."
It Is made a crime to enter Into any
combination for the purpose of limit
ing trade, shutting off competition, or to
refuse to buy from or sell to any other
person' for the reason that such other
er and that the charter may be submit
ted to a vote of the people and if it be
adopted by tho people it becomes tho
charter of the city. The intention Is to
provide a system of local home rule, so
that it will not bo necessary for the Leg
islature to pass charter bills. The pro
posed amendment has never aroused any
adverse discussion.
Senator Daly will tomorrow morning in
troduce a bill which will provide against
any emergency such as the destruction of
public buildings by fire. The purpose Is to
relieve the state of tho expenso of car
rying insurance, and Is based upon the
theory that the state is stronger than any
Insurance companj' and can carry Its own
Insurance cheaper than any company can
carry it.
The bill provides that upon tho burning
of any state building or institution the
board of public building commissioners
shall have the power to authorize tho re
pair or reconstruction of suoh building,
the total cost thereof not to exceed the
loss sustained. The bill does not provide
for an appropriation but authorizes the
Secretary of State to audit claims and Is
sue certificates of Indebtedness which shall
draw G per cent interest.
Senator Daly believes that tho state Is
bearing an unnecessary burden on ac
count of the insurance on state Institu
tions. Senator Rand has introduced a bill for
the repeal of sections 19S6 and 19S7 of the
codo, which sections prohibit the sale of
liquor within a mile of any mine. These
sections were enacted by the last Legis
lature, and were introduced by Smith of
Baker, which County Rand now repre
sents. Senator Daly's Senate resolution direct
ing the clerk of the Land Board and the
State Land Agent to furnish the Senate
with certain information regarding lieu
land transactions Is intended to call out
full Information upon that subject. The
resolution was adopted. It calls for a list
of all lands used as mineral "base" and
of the lands selected In lieu thereof. It
also asks for a list of the selections
which have been approved, and for a list
of the lands which have been used as
"base" and also sold by the state.

The Senate this morning ordered that in
distributing bills to the members of the
Senate, the pages deliver the bills to the
clerks and that the bills be pasted In the
bill books by the clerks. The purpose
of this resolution Is to relieve the confu
sion of having bills placed upon the desks
of Senators while they are at work.
Tho clerk's desk in the Senate was
cleared of all business at 11 o'clock this
forenoon ar.d'the Senate took a recess for

November. 1899, thought I
would trv Doctor Pierce's
uoiaen ieaicai Dlacovery.
I got six bottles and took fire In Snccesrioo, then
thought I would wak for a time and take the
one left. Soon found I had symptoms of the
trouble coming back, so took the sixth bottle
and it cured me. I have enjoyed the best of
health this summer, and the credit all belongs
to your 'Golden Medical Discovery-' I can't
express my many thanks to Dr. Pierce for his
remedy, for it did so much for me. Words can
not express how severely I suffered,
If any doubt the abOTe statement let them
address me, and I will take great pleasure ia
answering."

D1U W. NORTON DAVIS
Whm we treat a patient there is no
guesswork about it Neither Is there any
question as to what the result will be.
For21 years we have devoted all our ef
forts to a single task. We began our pro
fessional career with the determination
that If possible we would place the treat
ment of men's diseases on an absolutely
scientific basis. This we have accom
plished. We positively cure three-fourths
of all cases that are absolutely incurable
by any metnods other than we employ. We
Co not care who has treated you or how
Jong or by what means he has treated
you; the probability is that we can cure
you. and we will be able to speak defi
nitely In tho matter when we know the
details of your case.
AND FURTHERMORE
We accept no case the like of which we
have never cured. What we have done we
can do again. What we have in the past
failed to do. we will not attempt to do.
We therefore know just what we can do
and what wc cannot do. We will tell you
your exact condition, and will tell y.ou
whether we can or cannot cure you. "iou
can rely absolutely upon what we tell you.
VARICOCELE
Absolutely painless
treatment that cures
completely. Investi
gate our method. It
is the only scientific
treatment for this
disease being employed.
STRICTURE
Our treatment is
absolutely painless,
and perfect results
can be depended
upon In every In
stance. Wc do no
cutting or dilating
whatever.
CONTRACTED DISEASES
Improper treatment of
contracted diseases can
easily bring loss of
power. An examination
reveals this cause In a
very large proportion of
the cases of weakness.
Lingering inflammation
conterlnjc in the pros
tate gland Is sure to
result in disordered
functions, and the con
dition will never be cor
rected until the In
flamed and swollen
gland is restored to its
normal state. We thor
oughly cure ex'ery con
tracted disease we
treat- - The remedies we
employ are known to
ourselves alone, and no
other physician haj yet
produced f qually
prompt and thorough-cures.
WE HAVE THE LARGEST PIIA CTICE BECAUSE WE INVAIUABLY
FULFILL OUR PROMISES.
"WEAKNESS",
We are confident that we have
cured more cases of so-called weak
ness than any other "physician.
There may be doctors In the larg
est Eastern cities who have treat
ed more, cases than we, but they
cling to the old and Ineffective
practice of dosing with tonics.
Weakness is merely a symptom of
local disorder requiring local treat
ment. This is a truth that we have
discovered, and that has been fully
established by our success In ef
fecting permanent cures. Our
method Is original and Is employed
by no other physician.

Specific Blood Poison
Others dose the system with min
eral poisons scarcely Ics3 dangerous
than the disease Itself. The best
they hape to do by this treatment.
Is to keep the dlsense from mani
festing its presence upon the sur
face of the body. Under our treat
ment the entire system is cleansed.
The last taint of the virus Is de
stroyed. Every symptom vanishes
to appear no more. We employ
harmless blood-cleansing remedies.
They are remedies heretofore un
known In the treatment of this dis
ease. They cure by neutralizing
and absolutely destroying the poi
son In the system. Such cures can
not be otherwise than complete and
permanent.
OUR SYSTEM OF TREATING PA
TIENTS BY MAIL IS SO PERFECT
THAT WB CAN MAKE A CORRECT
DIAGNOSIS IN MOST CASES AND
EFFECT A CURE WITHOUT DEN
