GO BACK TO WORK
Legislators-Will Resume Their
Labors Today.
LOCAL OPTION COMING UP
Debate on Question May Occur This
Week Upon Introduction of Bill
to Amend (Law Taxation
Measure in Prospect.
The Oregon Legislature -will" resume
lawmaking at Salem today the House
at 11:15 A. M.. the Sepate at 2 P. M.
The two bodies adjourned last Thurs
day to give time for appointment of
standing committees and for printing
the 150 bills that were Introduced last
week. The number of bills Introduced
In the House is 34; two years ago the
number for the first week of the ses
sion was 98. In the Senate 56 bills
have been Introduced against 81 for
the corresponding period at the last
regular session.
Most of the legislators from Multno
mah and Eastern Oregon counties will
go to Salem this morning on the train
leaving Portland at 8:30 o'clock. j
Three Bills Already Passed.
Three bills were rushed through the
two houses last week, one amending
the charter of Hillsboro; another au
thorizing the County Court of Clatsop
to levy a special tax of 5 mills for a
new Courthouse; the third to allow an
extension of time from January 1 to
February 1 this year for school dis
tricts and municipalities to notify
County Clerks of their tax levies.
In the case of the last-named bill,
haste made waste of time, because
the bill will e returned to the Sen
ate today with the Governor's veto.
The veto will be sustained because If
the bill should become a law, the tax
collection 'system In Multnomah and
many other counties would be put out
of joint, for collection would be de
layed beyond the rebate period. A.
new bill will be introduced at once to
apply only to such districts and mu
nicipalities as neglected to file their
levies by January 1.
Speaker Mills said last night that he
will use his influence against hasty
.passage of bills hereafter.
Secretary of State Dunbar today will
return to the legislature nine bills
vetoed by the Governor after the last
regular adjournment five to . the
House and four to the Senate, as fol
lows: S. B. 186 To create the Eighth Ju
dicial district.
S. B. 198 For a "straight" party
ballot.
S. B. 204 Authorizing appointment
of a State Land Agent.
S. B. 237 To establish a State Bu
reau' of Mines.
H. B. C8 To raise salary of School
Superintendent of Multnomah from
$1500 to $2500 a year.
H. B. 198 Pure-food bill.
H. B. 261 To Incorporate the City
of Astoria.
H. B. 304 To fund warrant indebt
edness of Multnomah County.
H. B. 363 To appropriate money for
certain claims and for Executive Man
sion in Salem.
- The. "straight-ticket" bill would enable
electors to vote a party ticket by putting
one mark at the head of a list of a party's
candidates. Some talk has been heard of
a possible effort on the part of the Re
publicans to override the veto with a
two-thirds vote In each House. The same
talk, though fainter, has been heard of
the bill for the Eighth Judicial District
and for Increasing the salary of the Mult
nomah School Superintendent. The Gov
ernor has said that he vetoed the School
Superintendent bill under a misunder
standing of its contents; that he would
willingly see the bill passed over his veto,
but that he would prefer to have the
Legislature pass a new bill.
Governor Gives Reasons.
The Governor, in vetoing the straight
ticket bill, gave his reasons as follows:
Under the law as It now Is, the names oi the
candidates for each office are arranged under
the designation of the office in alphabetical or
der, according to the surnames. The propo&ed
amendment eliminates this arrangement and
places the names of the candidates for each!
party under the designation of the party. The
names of all Republicans are placed under the
head "Republican Ticket"; the names of ail
Democrats under the head "Democratic Tick
et." and on for as many tickets as there
happen to be. A email circle is placed under
the party name on each ballot, and a square
at the right of the names of each of Its nom
inees, so that ihe voter may go into the booth
wid vote a straight party ticket by making a
cross in the circle, or indicate his choice of
n individual of any other party by making a
cross within the square opposite to the name
of the individual for whom he desires to vote.
The people of the tate are generally satisfied
with the present arrangement of the Australian
ballot. It is difficult for any party or faction
lo use money or other corrupt means to in
fluence voters, for the reason that when a
man retires to the booth to prepare his ballot
the names being alphabetically arranged he is
compelled to read each name and carefully
consider the merits of the individuals before
depositing hi ballot. Under the new law.
corrupt means may be more easily used be
cause the voter retires to the booth and in a
tew moments marks his ballot at the head of
the party designated, and retires without con
"ilderlng the merits of any candidate.
The purpose of the Australian ballot law is
to safeguard elections and to come as near as
possible to procuring the unbiased, unpreju-
Slced. expression of the people. Anything that
will assist in doing this Is to be commended.
ind -whatever retards it is to be condemned.
fhe proposed amendment, instead of agisting
to purity the political atmosphere in Oregon,
will have- the contrary effect, and I therefore
Tturn said bill with my veto.
Important Bills to Come Up.
Important bills will be Introduced this
ireek. One of them will be a proposed
intendment to the local optlon law where-
uy promDiuon elections win -ne restricted;
o residence districts of municipal corpora
Uons. Another bill will propose to tax
ihe gross earnings of telegraph, telephone.
express and slecplng-car companies; an
other will propose amendments of the cor
poration tax law so as to exempt un
nrofltahta mlnlnir onmnflnlcs.
Other bills will be Introduced to simplify
procedure under the Initiative and refer
?ndum amendment and to prevent delays
In reporting precinct election returns to
County Clerks: to make gambling a fel
ony; to regulate fraternal Insurance as
sociations; to establish juvenile courts;
to amend the Portland charter and to
change several minor details of the direct
primary law. The direct primary law
will not be operative this year, but an
attempt may be put forth to make it so,

THE VALUE OF A HAS.
Subject of an Interesting Talk at the
Sunday Club.
More interesting than usual was the
meeting of the Sunday Club at the Young
Men's Christian Association rooms yes
terday afternoon, and every seat was oc
cuoied. The double attraction was an
address on "The Value In a Man," by
Henry J. McCoy, who for 23 years has
been secretary of the Young Men's Chris
tian Association at San Francisco, and the
rendering of Gospel hymns by eight mem
bers of the Dixie Jubilee Singers, col
ored. The latter have good voices, the
blending being a musical treat. One
young woman In the party Is a painstak
ing accompanist The selections given
were: "In Bright Mansions"; Oh. Lord,
How Excellent": Sweet Hour of Prayer";
"Where Will You Spend Eter
nity?": Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", and
'Reign. Massa Jesus, Reign." The male
quartet was enthusiastically received, as
was indeed all the singing. The best song
numbers were those that were unaccom
panied. Mr. McCoy made a powerful impression
upon his audience, and he gave a friendly
talk rather than an address. He Is a big.
good-natured, fatherly looking man. Ti
wonder how many young men In this au
dience are away from home? Or rather,
how many of you have no place In this
city you can call homer Mr. McCoy spec
ulated. About one-half In the audience of
00 men held up their right hands. "That s
Just as I expected," went on the speaker
of the afternoon. "I want to say right
at the start that I'm no preacher. I only
preached once, and did it so badly that
I promised the Lord I would never do it
again. I just want to talk to you. and
during my talk If any man here wants to
ask any question, just do so and I won't
be offended. You will find, my text in
Genesis. 1:26-27. We are made In the Im
age of God. God Is revealed In us. and If
we dishonor ourselves we mar the Image
of God. The greatest contribution a man
can give to this world Is a noble life.
Character Is a young man's greatest asset.
In speaking of character and reputation.
we must remember that reputation means
what men think we are, while character
Is what we are. Less than 80 years ago
none of us In this room were here, and
after a few short years none of us will
be here. I don't think I ever saw such a
splendid lot of young men, as those now
here. But what areyou going to do with
your life?
"I read that piglron at Pittsburg Is
worth 515 per ton, and that this same Iron
made Into horseshoes Is worth 5100 per
ton, and Into Jcnifeblades 5200 per ton.
The book I refer to also stated that pig
lron, If made Into watchsprlngs. Is worth
51000 per ton. I took occasion to doubt
the latter statement, and on Inquiry of
an official connected with the Waltham
Watch Company was Informed that pig
lron converted Into watchsprlngs was val
ued at 520,000,000 per ton. That Is the re
sult of man's Ingenuity, coupled with
hard work and God's blessing. Most of us
think of this life as an opportunity to
make a living. But how many .of us have
been engaged In making a life? I mean
life that shall honor us, a life that
will help to strengthen weak lives around
Men are committing the same kind
of sins today as 6000 years ago. If you
want the record, read the sixth chapter
of Romans. There is nothing so deplor
able as a wasted life.
"I hope all you young men will be, by
honorable means, rich some day. But m
building up your fortune I hope you will
as well build up character. Before the
general use of electricity the latter was
here, but was dormant and became pos
sible by the Ingenuity of man and God's
power joining hands at the keyboard.
There never was a picture painted so
grand as a Christ-filled man." In closing
the speaker made a plea to accept sal
vation.
In the evening, Mr. McCoy addressed a
large audience at the White Temple on
general topics connected with Young Men's
Christian Association work In this and
other countries, and an assistant showed
stereoptlcon views of a number of asso
ciation buildings. At times the stereop
tlcon machine proved to be obdurate and
refused to work until coaxed to do so.
but the audience bore with Its vagaries
ood-humoredly. Mr. McCoy's address
was a very Interesting one.

Different Views Held by Ore
gon Sportsmen. '
ABATE STATE GAME WARDEN
Several Bills Now Before Legislature
Bearing on Game Laws Varylng
Vlews Held by Sportsmen in
the Different Counties.
Eastern Oregon has spoken up, telling
what it wishes In the way of new game
laws. It has spoken simply for Itself.
Senator Pierce has presented half a dozen
bills before the Senate all pertaining to
the eastern portion of the state, at the
request of the Pendleton Sporting Club,
a strong and valuable Institution Inter
ested In the protection of game. The bill
concerning waterfowl shows how Eastern
Oregon feels on the subject of ducks.
Nothing Is said, however, about the sale
of ducks or any other game.
Senate bill No. 55 Introduced by Senator
Pierce speaks for a limit of 25 birds In
any one day or 50 birds a, week. It closes
the season in Eastern Oregon from March
to September 1. except in Jackson,
Klamath and Lake Counties, where the
closed season Is specified to be from
January 1 to September 15. It provides
for the "closed season In Coos County In
Southern Oregon from February, 1 to
August 1.
This bill will undoubtedly receive the
sanction of the Fish and Game Associa
tion, as it has voted to leave to Eastern
Oregon suggestions on changes In the
game laws which effect that portion of
the stale. The matter of the number of
birds allowed a hunter in one day Is
alone liable to cause some discussion, as
there are various views on this subject
and a uniform law will probabiy be'
passed.
Two other bills are before the senate
regarding game. That Introduced by
Senator Brownell providing for a closed
season for elk until 1912, and thereafter
an open seasor for one month a year
and a bill providing protection for Bob
White quail until 1909 In all Eastern Ore
gon except Klamath and Lake Counties,
and after that date It provides for an
open season of the few days between the
second Saturday and the third Tuesday
in September of each year:
Views of Portland NImrods.
The principal matters requiring legis
lation have not yet come up. Portland
sportsmen have had their say on the
matter and it is pretty generally known
what they will advocate. The first defi
nite word from the Valley Is from Forest
Grove where the Rod and Gun Club has
made recommendations as follows In
brief:
That deer should not be run with dogs.
and that each person should be allowed
only three deer a season.
That a hunter be allowed only five
Chinese pheasants a day. but that no law
be passed prohibiting the use of dogs in
hunting the birds.
That a hunter be allowed only 20 ducks
a day.
That the hunter's license of 51 be madn
a law.
That the office of State Game Warden
be abolished altogether and a system of
county wardens be Instituted Instead.
whose salaries and expenses should be
paid from the appropriation now made
for the State "Warden and by the sale
of licenses.
These clean-cut expressions of opinion
will have weight In considering the make
up of the big fish and game bllL The sug
gestions to cut down the number of
ducks to be shot In a day shows that
Eastern Oregon and the Willamette
Valley are as one .on this and the Port
land sportsmen stand alone in support
ing the old 50-blrd limit.
Some quite new system In the way of
game wardens will probably be provided
for In the fish and game bill, and al
though the state will probably be pa
trolled by districts rather than by coun
ties, the principal la the same as that
which the Forest Grove Rod and Gun
Club proposes.

Three Extra Nights of "Holy City"
to Satisfy Columbia Patrons.
The Holy City" will be repeated at
The Columbia tonight, tomorrow night
and Wednesday night.
Small wonder that Manager Ballard
was compelled by popular clamor to ex
tend the engagement of this great pro
ductlon.
It Is safe to say that no play of equal
magnitude to "The Holy City" In Its
scenic effects, costuming, stage appoint
ments and large cast was ever before of
fered the public of Portland or any other
American city at popular prices.
The acting Is mply superb. The well
known biblical characters of the drama
are as real and convincing as though they
actually lived and breathed In the at-
mosnhere of Judea 20 centuries ago.
Too much cannot be said In praise of
Miss Countlss as Mary of Magdala. In
the roof-garden scene she holds her au
dlences, breathless with her magnificent
Invective and later softens them to tears
with the touching quality of her repent
ance and humility. The Columbia will
undoubtedly be filled to Its capacity to

who missed the play last week.
PROF. NYE'S HYPNOTISM.
A Rare Performance Scheduled for
the Empire This Week.
Hypnotism is not a new thing, but the
hvonotle performances that Professor
Thomas Calllway Nye. assisted by Arthu
Lalng. will give at the Empire Friday
and Saturday nights and Saturday mati
nee, are something absolutely new. Pro
fessor Nye will not chase through the
city's streets wildly In a carriage and find
a hidden pin. He will not do the fake
thing which so-called hypnotists have
done. Professor xye can do these things.
and does them with an ease that makes
such feats seem foolish. Professor Nye
does not carry a corps of trained subjects
with him. His work Is done with persons
who wish to try his tests. The young
woman who will be put to sleep In Van-
durn & Walton's window, 270 Washington
street, lives in the city. In addition to
this Professor Nyo will prove that It Is
possible to cure the ailing without the aid
of medicine.

POWER OF THE CE0SS.
East Side Pastor Preaches on
Strength of Christianity.
the
"The Value of the Cross" was the topic
of Rev. Andrew Montgomery at the Third
Presbyterian Church, East Side, yester
day morning. Mr. Montgomery spoke
from the text, Galatlans, v:ll. After giv
ing an exposition of the text, he said
that the most wonderful thing about the
cross of Christ was Its expanding char
acter and transforming power over the
whole earth.
"At the present time," continued Mr.
Montgomery, "the power and influence of
the cross of Christ has extended almost
to the utmost bounds of the earth, and Is
still extending. The missionary spirit Is
strong In the world. And yet this won
derful expansive power comes from an
Insignificant source the beginning of the
Gospel having been very small and con
fined to a few humble-minded disciples.
And yet all civilization Is affected by the
Gospel, and its uplifting touch Is mani
fested everywhere, all for the betterment
of the human race. Its transforming
power has reached far and near. '
Passing over rapidly the various forms
of doctrine entertained of the "cross" In
the world. Mr. Montgomery said:
"The cross of Christ means something
more than the mere wood of which the
Instrument of torture was framed to the
Christian world. Its transforming power
will grow until the hand of war shall be
forever stayed. The sword used In cruel
war shall be shaped Into agricultural Im
plements for the pursuits of peace and
civilization, and the steel projectiles that
carry death and ruin shall be used only
In the practical affairs of human" life
and In the Industrial pursuits, and war
shall finally cease, as the result of the
power of the cross of Christ.

ALASKA WILL GOME
Arranges for Independent Dis
play at '05 Fair.
SHOWING WILL BE COMPLETE
Skagway Official Writes That the
Country Will Make Amends to
Portland for Incomplete Ex
hibits at Past Expositions.
Alaska An Its entirety, its Immense
length and breadth, will be icpresented
at the Lewis and Clark. Fair better than
at any former exposition. The work of
gatl-erlng an Alaskan exalb't has never
been carried on In the energetic way
that the Lewis and Clark Commission
ers of Alaska have undertaken It- Alas
ka Is little enough known, and the people
of that vast territory feel they have
never been properly represented. They
hoped that at St. Louis a credible display
would be made, but they were disappoint
ed lh It. They will not allow the same
thing to happen in Portland.
Alaskans are all very much Interested
in the Lewis and Clark Fair, and many
shiploads of them will come here during
the Summer to see It. From the follow
ing letter, written by Secretary H. B.
Le Fevre, of the Skagway Chamber of
Commerce, to Tom Richardson, manager
of the Portland Chamber of Commerce.
It can be seen what kind of spirit they
have In undertaking to show Alaska here
as should be done:
It U very Erntlfylns to observe the vim with
which yoor splendid organization Is taking
hold of the treat enterprise of holding a
World's Fair on the North Pacific Coast. The
rood It will do your sUte and city is Incal
culable, nor have you, by any means, a mo
nopoly of the benefits to be derived, for all the
etates of the Northwest and the vast District
of Alaska, must receive manifest prosperity
from letting the light of ail their greatness
chine at a universal exposition where the7"
will be thoroughly represented In its displays.
World Does Not Know.
The world has never setn a worthy; Alaskan
display. There was at one tlmo a hope mani
fested that a creditable display wouli be ex
hibited at St. Louis, and there would have
been, had not the ardor of the people bwn
dampened by a dispiriting scrap over the
spoils Incident to its collecting and the Ignor
ing of the resident people of tbe country, by
farming out the whole matter through a Gov

the Interest taken In the exposition was mo

tbe commission was all there was of It, It did
wonders. Not a dollar was appropriated by a
single Alaskan Town Council. Chamber of

Some Lack Enthusiasm. .
The people of this country have had many
civic Inflictions calculated to crush not only
their amour propre, but their broader spirit
of patriotism. The fizzle of a. world's fair

complacency by a faction of considerable power
that seems to be endeavoring by every means
to show that the country is dwindling in Its
population and stability.

The biennial report of the Boys' and
Girls' Aid Society has been prepared by
Suoerintendent "W. T. Gardner and re
ferred to the ofllcers of the society. In
the report Superintendent Gardner speaks
of the Darole system, gives opinions on
the Juvenile court, and thoropgniy ais-
cusses the work of the society during tne
oast two years.
Speaking of the needs of tne institution
Superintendent Gardner says:
To enable us to carry on tne woric as
heretofore. It Is absolutely necessary that
the Legislature appropriate the sum of
SS00O for our use for the ensuing two years,
as we have exercised the utmost economy
on every line, so as to be able to erect
the north wing of our building, which Is
as yet Incomplete, but we have found It
Impossible to accumulate enough surplus
funds for this purpose, but hope Inside of
another two years to be able to do so, al
though we do not ask for any Increase of
aDDroorlatlon from last session."
The report shows that during the two
years It covers there were 531 children
'taken Into the Institution. There were
also a total of 2S0 children recalled from
family homes for replacement or returned
to the home, making a grand total of 7M
children passing through the receiving
home In the two years. This is an in
crease of 1T3 children over the last bien
nial statement and report.
The total receipts for the two years,
added to the cash on hand, shows a total
of S19.679.53. The disbursements for the

In preparing an exhibit lor the Lewis

arrangements to cover these industries.
According to the remarks of Professor
Robinson, superintendent of the educa
tional exhibit, stories of local industries
and conditions are wanted. Mr. Teuscher
estimates It will take ten dozen photo
graphs to cover the processes of the
veneer factory and the woolen mills. At
the veneer factory the pictures will show
all the different processes of operation.
The same will be done at the Portland
"Woolen Mills, pictures being taken to
show the wool on Its way through the

Armed at the Altar
ProtrHdlBX "Weapon la Police
man's Pocket Causes Alarm ta
Congregation.
T has remained for Sergeant Slover,
the well-known police officer, to be
taken for a highwayman. To cap the
climax he was In church when the event
occurred.
Sergeant Slover is a warm friend of
Rev. Smythe. of the Friends' Church,
on the East side. Yesterday an evangel
ist came to the church to commence a
series of revival meetings, and the pastor
asked Sergeant Slover to attend the meet
lng with his family. The Sergeant ac
cepted the invitation and journeyed to
the meeting-house yesterday afternoon at
tbe appointed hour.1
During the -services a call for converts
was given, and several went forward to
tbe altar. As Is the time-honored custom
of revival meetings, the pastor then
asked the members and friends of the
church' to come forward and kneel with
the converts. Sergeant Slover, being ln-
te res tea in a inena wno proiessea a
change of heart, went forward and
kneeled at the altar. In some manner
his coat slipped to one side, exposing to
the view of those near the butt of the
huge revolver which the police officers
always carry with them, ready for In
stant duty.
Two or three timid ladles who happened
to be near and who were not acquainted
with the Sergeant, saw the weapon and
grew alarmed. Presently one .of them
whispered a warning to the visiting
clergyman that there was a man kneeling
at the altar who bad a revolver In his hip
pocket and that perhaps some bold, bad
highwayman had become repentant. The
ladles requested the evangelist to make
special prayer for the sake of the one
who was forsaking the broad and narrow
path: for one that leads to better things.
The evangelist made his way to Sergeant
Slovers side.
May I ask your occupation, brother?"
he queried.
Certainly." replied the Sergeant. "I am
a police officer."
Then the evangelist explained and sug
gested that he tell the congregation, that
they might know the truth and not labor
under any misapprehension. Sergeant
Slover requested time to make an exit.
and this was given him. Then the con
gregation learned that there had been no
bold! bad highwayman in their midst, but
a representative of law and order.
AN OLD MEDICINE
IN A NEW FORM. PHYSICIANS
ARE PLEASED.
Druggists Woodard, Clarke &. Co.
Say: Vinol Is a New Form of
the Oldest and Best Tonic
in the World.
"Science conferred a great boon on
humanity when two eminent French
chemists discovered how to extract from
the cod's ,llver all the curative elements
contained In cod liver oil, but without a
drop of oil or grease, and thus produce
Vinol.
"It Is no longer necessary to load the
stomach with old-fashioned, greasy cod
liver oil or emulsions to obtain the cur
ative properties of cod liver oil, for
Vinol Is like taking the kernel from the
nut, the oil or the grease In which the
curative elements were enveloped has
been discarded, and we offer the people
of Portland the concentrated essence of
the medicine found In cod liver oil, with
out a drop of oil or grease tc upset the
stomach and retard Its work.
"For centuries doctors and druggists
alike have looked upon cod liver oil as
the best tonic, strength-creator and
body-builder in the world, but have ac
knowledged that its one great draw
back was the grease which It contained.
With this grease all eliminated, we of
fer the people of Portland In Vinol a per
fect cod liver oil preparation, as delicious
to tbe taste as a fresh orange.
Mr. J. B. Kenner, Deputy Clerk ot the
Superior Court, Atlanta. Ga., writes:
Vinol is the Ideal preparation of cod
liver oil; It purines and enriches the
blood. Induces a good appetite, promotes
digestion and Invigorates every organ In
the body."
Therefore. In the strongest manner
we Indorse and guarantee Vinol to In
crease the appetite, cure stomach trou
bles, give strength to the run-down,
tired and debilitated. Invigorate and build
up old people, make rich, red blood, cure
chronic couKhs. colds ana oroncnins. 11
