THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1903.'
WILL PLAY FAIR
No "Log Rolling" Over Ap
propriations. TO APPORTION ALL THE FUNDS
Committer From House and Senate
"Will Meet nnd Tnte Up Various
Items In Appropria
tion Bill.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Feb. 6. Staff corre
spondencesThere will be none of the
customary "logrolling" over the appro
priations at the disposal of the Senate and
House committees of the Washington
Legislature. Wnile the Senatorial fight
was waging hot, there wero constant ru
mors of tho revenge which some of tho
Injured parties in that fight would at
tempt to take on the appropriations. It
was even hinted that the Governor would
unduly exercise -his veto power, but, as
stated in The Oregonlan early this week.
a satisfactory understanding had been ar
rived at between the Chief Executive and
Senator Ed Hamilton, chairman of the
appropriations committee, by which the
bills were to be considered strictly on
their merits. Since that time Hamilton
has outlined a plan which will undoubt
edly prove quite satisfactory and will
eliminate tho risk of any worthy project
being left without funds because the
friends of some unworthy measure may
attempt to obstruct matters.
It is tho Intention of Senator Hamilton
and his associates to Join with the Houso
committee early next week and take up
the various items that aro called for in
the appropriation bills. The proper dls
tributlon will be decided on at this Joint
meeting and the appropriations combined
into three omnibus bills, which will be
presented to the House and Senate simul
taneously- The first of these bills, and
the one that will take precedence over all
others, is that providing for the higher
educational institutions of the state. The
second bill will look after the needs of
the various executive departments of the
state. Tho third bill will provide for the
various Institutions under chargo of tho
Stats Board of Control.
Whatever may be available after the
Interests provided for in these bills are
properly attended to will be divided among
the other appropriation measures, and
from this - undistributed balance must
come whatever the Legislature decides to
give the Lewis and Clark Centennial. The
feeling, on the whole, is quite friendly
toward the Fair, especially among the
members who have lived In the Northwest
a sufficient length of time to understand
the advantages that will accrue to Wash
ington as well as Oregon.
Available Sum Is ?2,lO0,00O.
The appropriation committee will have
available about J2.1W.O for all purposes,
and at tho present time they -can figure
up pretty close to S3.000.000 that will be
spited for. The Governor is very much
pposed to going- beyond the amount
available, and there will undoubtedly be
considerable scaling down and trimming
In order to keep within tho" limit of the
available assets. Two years ago there
was about tl.S00.000 available and over
$2,500,000 asked for. The difficulty in mak
ing a satisfactory distribution was so
great that toward the last of the session
some of tho members Interested in road
appropriations and other similar bills
formed a combination in both houses
which came within a very few votes of
defeating the general appropriation bill.
It was. held back until the last minute,
and when it was finally reported was so
fiercely attacked that for a time tho wel
fare of some of the state Institutions de
pendent thereon was seriously threatened.
By taking It up in the manner now out
lined and securing a report next week, one
of the most serious problems that con
fronts the Legislature can be adjusted
without placing any of the deserving ob
jects of state funds In Jeopardy, as they
have been where logrolling was encour
.nged by proscrastinatlon.
The House transacted more business to
day than It has handled at any previous
day this session, but the Senate took an
early adjournment, and most of the mem
bers left the city on the afternoon trains.
An attempt was made to adjourn the
House until Monday, but the members
who reside so far from Olympla. that they
would be unable to reach their homes
were In the majority, and a session will
be held tomorrow morning, although It is
expected that it will be of short duration.
There was considerable work going on
among the committees today, and another
good-sized batch of House bills will prob
ably be reported on In the morning. The
committee on privileges and elections held
a meeting this afternoon, with one of
their members absent, and, as a result.
Is deadlocked on the anti-pass bill, five
recommending Its passage, while five were
for Indefinite postponement.
EV TII13 HOUSE.
Large Grlat of Bills Recommended
and Many Passed.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. . (Special.)
The House committees have apparently
been working overtime for the past few
days, and today, as a result of thelrala
bors, they reported on 43 bills, of which
13 were considered of sufficient merit to
warrant a recommendation that they pass.
But five of the bills were put to their rest
by indefinite postponement, although the
attempt was made with a. number of oth
ers. The most Important bill In the bunch
was the railroad commission bill, which
came up as reported yesterday with two
reports, the majority recommending its
passage, while the minority preferred In
definite postponement. Owing to the
crowded condlton of the calendar. It wUl
hardly bo reached before next "week.
The barbers' Sunday-closing 111 also
came out of the committee's hands with
two reports, the minority favoring Indefi
nite postponement and the majority rec
ommending its passage.

routine preliminaries, the following- me
morials were read:

of others.
Gunderson of Mason Introduced a reso
lution stating that there had been a steady
increase In the cost of state printing, the
amount increasing from $30,000 for the two

two. years ending March SJ, 1903. This res
olution asked for an Investigation of the
matter, and mentioned the fact that there
were rumors of collusion, hush money.

decided that the present law was unconstl
tutlonal, although some high chancellor
of a Municipal Court may have to decided,
Easterday sold he would be In favor of an

FOR THE USE OF STREAMS
MILES' LOGGING BILL PASSES THE
HOUSE.
Senate Will Probably Make Amend
ment Concerning Priority
Rights.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 6. (Staff correspond
encesThe House this morning passed a
bill (H. B. 197, Miles) to provide for the
use of streams by lumber and timber In
terests. The measure prescribes regula
tions for the improvement of waters, not
navigable for commercial purposes, to fa
cilitate the "floating, transporting and
booming of logs, lumber and other timber
products." Such streams are to be open
to public use at "reasonable tolls." which
are to be fixed by County Courts.
An amendment will be offered In the
Senate relating to "priority rights," but
otherwise It will .doubtless pass that body
without change. It la legislation very
much needed, and the Senate committee
on commerce has agreed with the same
committee of the House for enactment.
In the House today the measure went to
final passage without debate. Mr. Miles
briefly explained the purposes of the pro
posed law, saying:
This bill Is In the Interest of every
laborer, every farmer, every business man
and every attorney In Oregon. It alms to
promote the lumbering Industry, an Indus
try which is one of the greatest sources
of wealth in the state. This Industry
opens up markets for business men. la
borers and farmers. These markets afford
as ready sale at as good prices at coun
try as at city markets. Last year Oregon
manufactured 1.000.000,000 feet of lumber,
valued at $10,000,000. Of this $10,0,000,
$7,000,000 went to labor. In timber we
have a vast crop of wealth that has been
growing for centuries arid we have only to
reap what has been so long growing.
"This bill has been carefully framed, so
as to guard against abuse and to encour
age the Industry. In 1SS9 a similar law
was enacted, but It was declared uncon
stitutional. In 1901 another bill of this
kind was parsed, and this also was nulli
fied. At present there Is no law to en
able persons to . Improve small streams
for bringing out the products of our for
ests. The bill alms to shut out specu
lators. The regulation of tolls Is In the
hands of the County Court."
All livers, streams, sloughs and navi
gable waters which are not navigable for
general commercial purpose, are de
clared' to be public highways for the float
ing, transportation and booming of logs,
lumber and other timber products.
Any Individual or company may be
granted the exclusive right to Improve
and control a stream for the purposes
set forth In the act. Such person or com
pany shall file with the County Clerk no
tice of Intention to operate on the speci
fied stream, and maps of surveys of pro.
jected Improvemcnta Priority of such no
tices shall allow priority of privilege.
Within six months thereafter the Indi
vidual or company shall begin the work
of Improvement "and shall thereafter
prc.ecute such work with all reasonable
diligence." Such Improvements must be
maintained and kept In good repair. The
holder of the franchise shall "forfeit nil
rights obtained by virtue of the provl
slons of this act" when improvements
are allowed to remain out of repair one
year after they might have been re
stored. The rights or privileges which
may be secured from any person for the
Improvements shall be paid for, and per
sons whose property may be damaged
shall be compensated for their losses. If
necessary rights cannot be obtained by
purchase at reasonable price, they may
be condemned In the courts. But all
rights acquired by this method shall be
used for tho purposes for which they were
obtained, and should they not be used
within two years nfter they have been
obtained they shall revert to the original
holder.
When the Improvements are completed,
the holder of the franchise shall report
this fact to the County Clerk, and shall
fix "reasonable Regulations" for the public
use 01 uie waters, aucn regulations may
be amended from time to time, but al
ways with due notice to the County Clerk.
Rates of toll shall be fixed by the County
Court at the term next following the filing
of the report above noted. The order of
the court shall prescribe tolls for floating
logs and lumber and additional charges
for booming the same. Such tolls "shall
be sufficient to provide a reasonable com
pensation." The schedule of rates then
adopted shall remain In force for a period
of ten years, and oil rates are to remain
fixed for ten-year periods thereafter.
Rates shall always be reasonable, and
no change shall ever be made without first
giving the individual, association of Indi
vidualff, or corporation entitled to collect
the same, at least 30 days' notice. Any
person, firm, or corporation aggrieved by
the rates of toll fixed as aforesaid, may.
within 20 days after such decision of the
County Court fixing such rate, appeal
therefrom to the Circuit Court of the
proper county: such appeal shall be taken
to the Circuit Court In the same manner
as appeals from the Justice of the Peace.
If the appellant shall fall to recover a
more favorable judgment than the rater
appealed from he shall pay all the costs of
the appeal.
The holder of the franchise In to have
exclusive management and control of the
Improvements he has made and property
ngnts ne nas acquired, and may sell,
lease or rent his Interests therein. In
Western Oregon he Is to be required to
provide sheer booms along the banks of'
any navigable stream Into which his own
stream may flow, "In order to prevent ns
far as possible the lodging of logs and
the washing away of alluvial lands." Per
sons who heretofore have attempted to
comply with prior acts of similar kind
"shall have a prior right to that part
of the river, stream, slough or navigable
waters so attempted to be appropriated
or improved.

TAX OX GROSS EARXIXGS.
Recommendation by Committee on
Taxation.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) The
joint committee on assessment and taxa
tion has decided to draft and recommend
the passage of a bill levying a tax of IK
per cent upon the gross earnings of all
railroads, street railways, telephone, tele

tax without protest.

ation of a mining bureau, so long as the
bureau does not have power to Inspect
mining properties.

STILL REMAINS SINGLE.
Miss Whit taker Hns Not Yet Found
a Husband In Tacomn.
TACOMA. Wash., Feb. 6. (Special.)
George Collier returned North to What
com Thursday last, from Mn unsuccess
ful Interview with Lilian Whlttaker, the
girl who crossed the Continent of America
In search of a husband. Miss Whlttaker
has been living quietly of late, and not
receiving the heavy mall which greeted
her first appearance In the city. Some
few persistent wooers have penetrated to
her- abode, and there followed up the Im
portunities first forwarded by mall and
which had remained unanswered. George
Collier was of this class, and came down
from Whatcom. He brought with him the
proper papers to show himself the pos
sessor of a farm 12 miles from Whatcom,
and. after a short acquaintance with the
young woman, offered her his hand and
heart and a wife's Interest in the farm.
Though convinced the young man was
sincere she found that, after all. It was
impossible for her to force herself to a
liking where such liking 'did not come
naturally, and Miss Whlttaker refused the
offer. This Is one of several Instances
within the week, and the young' lady finds
herself at the end of her second week In
Tacoma still unattached and heart free.
Miss Whlttaker has received eo many
letters from California that she will prob
ably go to the Golden Gate in the near
future.

Physicians and I took medicine enong.i to kill or cure a dozen women, but it all had no effect on me whatever, until I took
wine of CarduL In a few days I felt a change for the better, mr general health improved and at the next time of my periods
my flow was more natural and I was in less pain. Gradually I recovered my health and strength and am now in perfect
health. I take an occasional dose ot Wine of Cardnl which keeps me well. I am happy to give you this endorsement.
