WAR RECORDS SHOW-HT IS SO
For Expenses of the Oregon Regi
ment tlie- General Government
Pat Up $3,040,34-1.80
Additional.
SALEM, Or., March 6. (SpeclaL The
records of the United States War De
partment show that the veterans of the
Indian Wars of 1835 and 1S56 -were said
51.409.CW.53 by the General Government for
their services. The sum of $3,040,344.80
was paid on account of the expenses of
the Oregon regiments, making a total of
J4.449.M9.33 paid on account of service of
Oreconvolunteers. This showing dispels the
belief, mere or less general, that the vet
erans received very little for their serv
ices, and It is quite probable that if all j
the accounts can be found the approprla- !
tion of $100,000 will be sufficient to pay
all the remaining claims.
In 1856 the United States House of Rep
resentatives adopted a resolution author
izing an Investigation of the amounts due
cn account of the Indian Wars in Oregon
and Washington, and a commission wns
appointed, composed of A. J. Smith, Cap
tain In the United States Army; Rufus
Ingalls, of the United States Army, and
La Fayette Grover. This commission
came to Oregon, made a thorough inves
tigation and ascertained the amounts due.
The report of the commission is found in
volume 9 of the executive documents of
the first session of the 35th Congress.
This report was found by Secretary of
State Dunbar yesterday while he was
seeking for some information which
would aid the Adjutant-General In his
work as auditing officer in passing upon
the Indian War veterans' claim.
In order that the whole of the appropria
tion may be distributed to those who are
entitled to it, the Adjutant-General Is
trying to ascertain what payments have
already been made by the General Gov
ernment. The act passed by the Legis
lature carried an emergency clause which
the Attorney-General has construed to be
effective. This puts "the act into effect
at once, and many of the veterans think
they should bo paid their money forth
with. It is apparent, however, that if
money should be paid upon a verified
claim, without any further Investigation,
the appropriation would not nearly meet
the demands. Many veterans have al
ready Informed the Adjutant-General that
they do not know bow long they served,
how much was due them, nor how much
they were paid. The only way 'to ascer
tain these facts is to send to the War De
partment and get the detailed reports
showing the record of each man, If pos
sible. This -will take some time perhaps
a month.
The report of the commission which In
vestigated the matter In the Fall of 1856
and early part of 1857 says that In as
certaining the amounts due for services
the muster rolls were taken into consid
eration, these rolls showing that the ag
gregate number of volunteers in Oregon
was 4526, and the approximate number in
service at any one period was 2500. In
taking action upon these rolls relative to
the pay of volunteers, the' commission
based its report upon the law of the
Territory of Oregon, not only as being
legitimate, but as containing as equitable
a rule for adjusting the rates of pay as
probably could be devised under the cir
cumstances. After quoting the law of the
territory the report ays:
"With these provisions In view, and the
rates of pay and'allowances therela con
tained as a basis of action, the commis
sion proceeded to ascertain (1) the amount
of puy due each volunteer for his full
term of service; (2) the amount of al
lowances for use of horses, arms and
equipments, including compensation there
for In case of loss; (3) the total amount of
pay and allowances; (4) the amount of
stoppages for clothing and other public
property furnished; and (5) the total
amount of pay remaining due."
Near the close of the report it is said
that "there are doubtless to some limited
extent Irregular and unascertained claims
.growing out of the late volunteer service
which have not come to the notice of the
commission, but such will be found to be
inconsiderable."
It therefore appears that this commls
slon. examining the claims at the time.
thought It had allowed each volunteer the
full amount to which he was entitled
under the laws of the Territory of Oregon.
That being true. It is probable the records
will show the facts, and that there will
be money enough In th6 $100,000- appropria
tion to pay all valid claims remaining.
The report of the commission Is accom
panied by an abstract showing the
amount awarded to the members of each
company, but the amount awarded to each
Individual is not shown.
TWO REPORTS ARE MADE.
Majority of Committee Kinds Noth
injc "Wrons: nt Asylum.
BOISE. Idaho. March 6. (Special.) The
special legislative committee of two Sen
ators and three Representatives named
to make an investigation of the Insane
Asylum and particularly to inquire Into
the cause of the death of J. Russell, of
Lewiston, an inmate, has presented ma
Jorlty and minority reports.
The majority report, signed by Senator
Allen and Representatives Jenkins and
Smith, after reviewing the testimony In
gome detail says:
Your committee would, therefore, respectfully
report there was not sufficient proof ot brutal
ity on the rart of any attendant as presented
to the committee.
Tour committee would further state that no
evidence was offered other than of the attend
ants, Dr. GIvens and Mrs. Bussell. that would
lead us to believe that any prescribed rules had
been violated.
Mr. Dunlap failed to satisfy the committee
that he reported at once to Dr. GIvens the In
Jury which Mr. Bussell received, as Dr. GIvens
elated In his testimony that he noticed the
Injury, or his attention was called to It while
pass Ins through the ward.
The prolonged wait of Mrs. Bussell on the
morning of July 4. while anxious to see her
husband, was not as satisfactorily disposed of
as would lead the committee to believe that all
was done that could have been done for the
comfort of the patient. Mr. Bussell. or for the
courteous treatment of Mrs. Bussell.
Therefore, we. your committee. In justice tc
itself, believes that Dr. GIvens has not from
any act of omission earned and is deserving
or & slight reprimand, and the attendant Dun
lap a rebuke at the hands of the Legislature.

VERDICT AT BR1TT INQUEST.
Man Came to His Death by Morphine
Poisoning1.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., March 6.
rSneclaU The Coroners Jury. In the w.
W. Brltt inquest this evening returned a
erdlct that he came to his death ny
morphine poisoning, the drug being ad-
mlnlstrede by some person or per
sons unknown to them. The evidence
was circumstantial, and was not sufficient
directly to Implicate any person. Miss
Madge Wright, daughter of Professor L.
Wright, dancing teacher of this place,
who claims that she was married, to a m
year-old boy at Seattle on December 5,
1902. said that she had been living with
Brltt before and since her last marriage
as his wife. Brltt roomed with the
Wrights, and when he retired the night
before his death he made the unusual re-
ouest for a pitcher of water. The old
man gave him the water, and he retired.
Brltt was from Morris, Minn., and was
worth considerable money. The County
Attorney has taken the matter up, and
will make an attempt to find the guilty
party.

SOME NEW FISH LAWS
CHANGE IS MADE IX TIME
CLOSE SEASON.
OF
Former System of M&UIbk Use oi
Fine la District "Where Collected
Is Again la Force.
SALEM. Or.. March 6. Special.) The
new nsnery law manes a numoer ui
changes In the close season In this state
and revives the system of requiring that
the proceeds of fees and fines shall be
expended In the district where collected.
The new law provides for only two dis
tricts, however, whereas the law prior
to 1901 provided for seven. District No. 1
as now constituted includes the Colum
bia and Its tributaries, while district No.
comprises all the coast streams and
their tributaries. The present hatchery
fund in the treasury is to be divided after
all outstanding accounts have been paid
by crediting two-thirds of the sum to the
First District and one-third to the Sec
ond District.
On the Columbia River the close sea
son Is left unchanged, except that the
Sunday prohibition has been removed.
The close season Is from March 1 to
April 15. and August 15 to September 10.
On the Rogue River the seasons were
changed. The close seasons were from
March 1 to April 1, and August 15 to Sep
tember 20 east of the Illinois River, and
from March 1 to April 1 and August 1
to September 1 west of the Illinois River.
and from May 1 to August 1 at the mouth
of the river or within three miles out
side thereof. The new law prescribes a
close season from July 1 to December 31
east of the Illinois River, and from March
1 to April 1 and August 15 to September
15 west of the Illinois River, and from
May 1 to August 1 within three miles out
side of the mouth of the river.
On Miami River, Ketchls River, Tllla
mook River, Trask River and Hoquarton
Slough the close season was changed so
as to extend from July 1 to November 20
instead of from July 1 to November lo,
as heretofore.
On the north and south forks of the
Umpqua the close season extends from
March 1 to May 15, Instead of ilarcn l to
June 1. as heretofore.
On Coos Bay and the Coqullle the close
season has been changed so as to extend
from March 1 to August L and November
20 to December 10. This makes the Spring
close season begin a month later, and the
Fall season end five days earlier. On the
north, east and south forks of the Co
qullle an open season Is created from
March 1 to December 15. On the north
and south forks of Coos River the open
eason extends from December 10 to
March 1.
On all other coast steams the close sea
son is uniform, extending from February
20 to August 1 and November 20 to Decem
ber 15.
The new fishery law also limits the pro
hibltlon against polluting waters with
sawdust, etc., to streams flowing Into the
Pacific Ocean or the Columbia River. All
licenses are declared to expire and be
come void on December 31 of each year.
The act bears an emergency clause, and
Is presumably now In effect
The framers of the law putting the in
Itlatlve and referendum into effect pro
vlded that the Secretary of State shall
decide In the first Instance whether or
not a petition Is In the proper form, and
that appeals may be taken t& the Supreme
Court from his decision. This seems to
be in direct conflict with article 7, section
6, of the state constitution, which says
"The Supreme Court shall have jurisdic
tion only to revise the final decisions of
Circuit Courts." The act should have
provided for review or mandamus or In
junction or other proper proceeding la'
the Circuit court, it tnis portion or tne
act is void, as it appears to be, the de
cision of the Secretary of State could be
reviewed by mandamus or Injunction, as
has been done heretofore.
The act sets forth simple forms of pet!
tion for either the initiative or referen
dum. The petitions may be prepared in
sections for convenience. Each signature
must be followed by the street address,
postoffice and voting precinct of the
signer. Each section of the petition must
be submitted to the County Clerk of the
county In which it is prepared, and the
names signed thereto must be compared
with the names in the registration books,
in order that it may be seen whether each
Is a qualified elector. Signatures may.
however, be proven by the certificate of
a notary public The County Clerk must
return the petition to the person from
whom he received It, and It must then
be filed with the Secretary of State. The
Secretary of State must notify the Gov
ernor of the filing of a petition, and the
latter must Issued a proclamation setting
forth briefly the tenor and effect thereof.
which proclamation must be published for
four consecutive weeks in one newspaper
In each district. In making up the list
of candidates the Secretary of State
must include in the list the titles. In not
more than 20 words, of the acts so to be
voted upon, and these must be placed
upon the ballots In the usual manner.
Not later than the first Monday of tho
third month prior to an election the Sec
retary of State must cause to be printed
a pamphlet containing the full text of the
act to be voted upon. The persons filing
the petition and any persons opposing the
same may supply the Secretary of State
with pamphlets favoring or opposing the
measure In sufficient quantity to supply
each legal voter of the state with a copy
The copies of the. act .and other pamph
lets are to be sent to the County Clerks,
and by them delivered to the voters as
they are registered.
Signing a petition unlawfully Is punish
able by fine not exceeding $500 or impris
onment In the penitentiary not exceeding
two years.
This act carries no emergency clause, so
if any act of the last Legislature should be
referred, the petitions will be governed
by the Initiative and referendum amend
xnent alone.
FOR PROTECTION OF BIRDS.
Law ForblddlnR Their Slaughter Is
JVow in Force.
SALEM, Or., March 4. (Special.) Bird
lovers throughout the state are rejolc
ing over the passage of House bill SS for
the protection of birds. The omcers and
members of the bird study clubs worked
lor the enactment of such a law and will
do what they can to aid in its enforce
ment. The act carried an emergency
clause and presumably Is now in full
force and effect. It will hereafter be un
lawful to kill certain birds, except for
scientific purposes, and then only upon
permission which can be secured only af
ter the filing of a bond In the sum of
$100 2nd the payment of a fee of $L The
essential features of the law are as fol
lows, the .bill having been amended prior
to its passage:
Section 1. No person shall, within the State
of Oregon, kill or catch or hare In his or her
possession, living or dead, any wild nlrd other

Sec No person shall, within the State ot

of the Qne Imposed.
Sec 4. Sections 1. 2 and 3 of this act shall

Sec 7. The English or European house spar
row, crow ana nawxs or au ainos ycasser
domesticus) are not Included among the birds
protected by this act.
After having been Incorporated twice
at one session of the Legislature, there
Is still some doubt whether the town of
Adams, In Umatilla County, was In fact
incorporated. One benate mil ana one
House bill having for their purpose the
incorporation of that town passed both
houses and both were filed by the Gov
ernor. Each were supposed to be exact-
ly like the other, but It appears that there I
was a difference In the description ol
the boundaries of the town, and the dif- J
ference may defeat the bills. House I
bill 144. bv Blakely. was filed February 3,
and Senate bill 76, by Smith of Umatilla, I
on February 5. The latter, having be- j
comc a law last, would supersede the
former, and when the Recorder of the
town of Adams asked for a certified copy
of the act. a copy of the latter was sent
to him. He Immediately replied that if
this bill Is the law, the town ot Adams
was not Incorporated, for the lines set
forth in the description do not go around
the town. An examination of the records
shows that an error was made In enrolling
the bllL
It Is a rule of law that where two acts
on the same subject are passed by the
same Legislature both will be permitted
to stand, If possible, and if they are.
Inconsistent the one that becomes a law
last will prevail. In this case it Is prob-
able that the courts would hold that since
the last bill filed did not describe a tract
of land. It Is Invalid, and the former will
be a law.
The peculiar feature of the whole affair
Is that two bills for the same purpose
were nassed and filed and that there may
Still De some question as to me eiLci ol
the legislation.
The new law relative to tne terms or
County Assessors, extending the terms to
four vears. does not affect the present
Incumbents. The act prescribes that there
shall be elected at the general election
an Assessor, who shall hold his office
for the term of four years. This will ap-
nlv to those who are elected at the end
of the terms of present Incumbents, who
wre chosen for two years.

HOMES FOR THE HOMELESS
Pica for Friendless Women With
Small Incomes.
PORTLAND, Or., March L (To the
Editor.)
Oh, it Is pitiful.
That In a whole city full.
Homes they have none.
In the City of Portland there are 7000
women wage-earners. Many of these have
shelter and protection within the halls of
home. Many, very many, have not and
must seek an abiding place In boarding
and rooming-houses or In the homes of
those who have opened their doors to these
desheltered ones.
Among these tollers there are those
whose salary Is a mere pittance and yet It
must meet their daily heeds. It is not
more than $15 in some Instances. There
are few If any boarding-houses where safe
and comfortable accommodations can be
had for that' amount except at the Wor
man's Union, and the capacity of that
house Is not great.
These young women must work and
must take the price offered for their ser
vices. They must also be housed, fed
and clothed. Directly and indirectly it is
a matter of public interest that they exist
In decency and comfort; but how, on
salary of $15 a month with board and room
at $30 and up and clothes, laundry and in
cidentals to be accounted for? What Is
the solution of this problem? Who Is to
come to the rescue, and if no one, then
who Is to answer for the consequences?
Throughout the City of Portland there
aro many, many homes and we venture to
say that In a majority of these there Is at
least one room seldom If ever used. It
Is a room that would make one or two of
these young women a comfortable home
'mid safe and congenial surroundings.
Most of these rooms could be let for Just
enough to cover the expense of heat, light
and wear and tear of furniture. Such
rates, with the privilege of preparing
breakfast and lunch In the room, would
make It possible to live on the small al
lowance of $15 a month, and the house
holder would be none the poorer.
Oh! but you say we can not open our
homes to- strangers. It would not be
pleasant to have someone In the house.
If the Lord was at your door seeking
shelter, would you find It pleasant to let

a distance of 200 miles, the steamers Co
rona, from Eureka, and Geo. W. Elder,
from Portland, were In an ex clung race
with each other, victory finally going to
the Corona by a ship's length.
The steamers were directly abreast of
each other before the Idea of a race
seemed to occur to the captains, but from
that moment black smoke poured from
the funnels, and the pronounced throb
bing of the engines told everybody aboard
both vessels that a contest had Begun.
The sea rose high In a white foam on
the bows of the steamers, the passengers
became excited, and all during the night.
Instead ot retiring to their staterooms
as usual, the people aboard the Corona
and Elder remained on deck and shouted
to each other across the narrow space of
sea. At times the racers were divided
by only 100 yards of water.
When Chief Engineer Steele, of the Co
rona, shut off steam off Melggs wharf
tho Elder was a length behind. The
steamers bad made nearly 12 knots an
hour on the run. The passengers of the
Corona were so overjoyed by the victory
that they sent a purse of $20 to the fire

MISS KENNEDY'S CASE
WHY SHE LEFT HER STUDIES
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Evcrr Mother of a Growing; Girl Will
Be Interested In the Story as Told,
by tae Young; Lady Herself.
The circumstances under which Ber
tha Kennedy was takeo from her stud
ies In the High School will be of inter
est to all mothers of growing' girls. Miss
Kennedy said to a reporter:
"When I was 14 years old I began to
decline in health on account of a. sup
pression of the natural functions of my
sex, and I am sure I would never have
been the healthy girl I am now it it
had not been for Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. I was entirely
without color, thin as a rail, nervous
and Irritable, tired and lifeless and In a
seriously low state of health in general.
Although a good doctor was treating
me, he failed to do any good, and my
parents felt very much alarmed about
me.
"I was taken from the High School on
account of my poor health, but contin
ued to grow worse. Then I began to
take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and with
the first few doses began to feel better.
Four boxes brought about the desired
result, and a few boxes more restored
me entirely to health. Now I haye a
good color, am strong and active, and
have not seen a sick day from that time
to the p'reeent."
Mlsa Kennedy lives at Canton Junc
tion, Mass., and both she and her
are willing to verify the above state
ment. The trouble with which Miss Kennedy
was afflicted often causes severe head
ache, loss of appetite, pale or sallow
complexion, palpitation of the heart,
swollen ankles or legs, nervousness, of
fensive breath, etc., etc The sufferer
' may exhibit one or more of these symp
toms, or may have all. They simply
indicate the ravages disease has made
upon the system, and the more of these
symptoms the patient shows the greater
the necessity for prompt and persistent
treatment, until they have been ban
ished and the bloom of health Is re
stored. To accomplish this end. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are
the only unfailing- remedy. They posi
tively cure all suppressions and Irreg
ularities, which, If neglected, Inevitably
entail sickness and trouble.
