OIiTMPIA, "Wash., Jan. 25. (Staff
Correspondence.) The Poster strength
climbed up to hi Eh -water mark In the
voting today and on the second of the
two ballots taken was within three
Votes of the SO which was so confidently
promised by his supporters before the
first ballot was taken. The opponents
of the Tacoma Senator state that the
figure reached today will be high-water
mark for the session, but the Foster
managers say they still have a few
votes in reserve which will be called In
tomorrow.
John Jj. "Wilson lost a vote today,
Russell of Garfield going over to Piles.
This gain in the Plies forces was offset
by the loss of Keyes, who went back to
Foster. This gave the Tacoma candi
date 46 votes on the first ballot today,
and when the second was taken Senator
Xarles very graciously abandoned his
Democratic friend. Frank P. Hogan, of
Spokane, and brought the number up
to 47.
Plies was jshort one man on account
of mn4 absentee, and had but 30 votes.
EweenyvheM his own with 28 votes andJ
Jons received the customary seven.
Th lemocrats cast their six votes on
the first iballot and five on the second
for Fran& P. vHogan, of Spokane.
Fwter Twenty Votes Short.
The 'totaV 'including the 16 cast for
"WllsohV- showed' 133 votes. As but 67
Tvreneedecf'to elect today. Senator
Foster waj-ahort only 20 votes, which
Is the cjkvfleat he has yet come- to an
.elficttofli Blaker of Clark County, who
lias'heen Voting for Piles since the
openlng'of the.sesslon, went over to the
Fostfer people today, leaving Rands, the
remaining member of the Clark County
delegation, . alone In his glory in the
Piles camp, although it Is reported
that he can take the two House mem
bers back with him whenever he needs
them.
The crop of rumors tonight is un
usually large, and included In the as
sortment Is one to the effect that "Wil
son is to make a strong raid on the
Foster forces tomorrow or next day in
a last wild effort to prove to King
County that he is entitled to the mantle
that Is now resting on the shoulders of
Sam Piles.
Some color is given to this rumor
through the fact that Wilson's brother
Harry and his first lieutenant, Land Com
missioner Ross, held a conference In Ta
coma a day or two ago with Walter Chris
tian, who is managing Foster's campaign,
and Ben Grosscup, whose own Senatorial
aspirations were largely responsible for
the repudiation of Foster by some of the
East Side political heavy-weights.
The Tacoma papers, which were such
strong supporters of Wilson two .years
ago, are also very careful not to print
anything which might be harmful to John
L. Wilson, but are quite vigorous in their
comment on other candidates. But the
Foster strength In Its entirety can never
be turned over to John L. Wilson, and
neither can the Wilson strength be turned
over to Foster, and without liberal assis
tance from some of their opponents neith
er of the two men can gain anything hy
a combination of forces.
A careful analysis of the claims made
by the contending forces in this fight
leaves but two deductions possible. One
is that they are lying: the other is that
they are dreaming. An exception to this
statement might be made in the case of
the Jones candidacy, for the boosters for
the Yakima statesman haver never claimed
more than seven votes and have, never
scored any more than they claimed to
have. They held a caucus this afternoon
with a view to ascertaining whether It
was best to go In now and elect a Sena
tor, or wait a. little while longer until
some of the other contestants would tire
In the back stretch. It was decided to sit
on the fence a while longer, and unless
there Is a change in the programme be
fore balloting begins tomorrow, the Jones
strength will not be transferred to -any
other candidate.
Unrest Is Very Apparent.
Despite this seeming apathy and lack of
excitement, there Is a growing feeling of
unrest among quite a number of members
who are voting for candidates whom noth
ing short of a miracle can elect. This
feeling will some day culminate In a sen
sation, and while there is nothing on the
surface tonight which indicates that the
end is very near, it may come with a rush
when it is Jeast expected. Cattle stam
pede easiest when the air Is overcharged
with electricity, and voters sometimes
stampede when .an overcharged political
atmosphere fills them with restlessness.
The possibilities of such a climax are
reflected by the views of a Foster man,
who, in discussing the situation today,
said:
"I am getting darned sick of this matter,
and . unless they bring this to a head very
quick I am going to cut loose and vote
for a man whom we can elect. They told
as outsiders before we went In that with
our aid they could show a minimum
strength of SO votes, and thus far their
maximum strength has never reached that
figure, and In the ten days balloting there
has been no gain worth mentioning."
This feling Is not confined to the Fos
ter camp alone, and when it reaches a
certain stage there will be something do
ing very suddenly. The Sweeny support
now, &s from the "beginning, rests on &
firmer foundation than that of any of the
others. The Spokane man, even If he calls
In his reserves; Is still a good many votes
short of an election, but he has a good,
strong grip on the situation and Is In a
better position than any of the other can
didates to profit when the Inevitable
break-up comes.
The legislature, as a whole. Is in no
mood' for a deadlock, and some one must
necessarily get out of the way voluntarily
or else be kicked out. If the latter course
is adopted, the successor of Addison G.
Foster will be elected without any pro
tracted warnings being sent out.

a Separate Institution.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 25. (Special.)
The proposal to divide the State School
for Defective Youth at Vancouver by re
moving the imbecile youth to another
school to be provided for by this Legis.
lature has the approi'al of all the mem
bers of the House committee on State
School for Defective Youth and Reform
School, which met tonight. The members,
however, could not agree upon the loca
tion of the new school.
Undsley of Spokane County has pre
sented a bill locating the new school at

The House Irrigation committee gave a
hearing to T. A. Noble, the Government

ject of the Irrigation code now under dis
cussion by the committee. Mr. Noble is
strongly urging the incorporation In the
code of a provision which will enable the
engineer In behalf of the Government to
file on all waters available for irrigation,
either open or heretofore appropriated.
His proposed provision would bring Into
court for adjudication of their rights all
companies or Individuals who have appro

CONFERENCE ON FISHERIES.
Washington Legislature Will Meet
Oregonians at Olympia.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 25. (Special.)
The Senate today concurred in the concur
rent resolution Introduced by Williams, of
the House, providing for the appointment
of a committee to meet the Oregon com
mittee and discuss legislation regulating
the fishing industry on the Columbia
River. Lieutenant-Governor Coon ap
pointed Welsh and Watson as the Senate
members of the committee. Speaker Meg
ler has appointed Roth. Williams and Ste
venson as the House members.
As a. result of telegraphic correspond
ence between Speaker Megler and the Ore
gon committee it was decided to hold the
conference In Olympia Saturday evening.
It Is the impression here that two
important subjects for consideration by
the Joint committees will be the change
In the open season recommended by the
Fish Commissioner of Washington, and
wjuchle provided for In a bill now before
the Legislature. The open season In
Washington Is at present the same as in
Oregon, and It is considered desirable that
the laws be uniform on the subject. The
matter of individual licenses to glllnetters
will also be considered. They are re
quired by the laws of this state, but are
not in Oregon.
T. R. Kershaw. Fish Commissioner of
Washington, will be present at the con
ference of the two committees.
- School District Tax Levies.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 23. (Special.) The
Senate passed Smith's Senate bill No. 53
today, amending the law relating to school
district tax levies. Under the present law
the annual tax levy must be made at a
taxpayers' meeting, but Smith's bill pro
vides that in districts of the first class
having a school population of 1000 chil
dren, the levy may be made by the board
of directors as city tax levies are made.
A bill similar to this passed the Senate
at the last session, but was buried under
the mass of untouched bills In the House
when the Legislature adjourned.
Registration of Voters.
SALEM, Or.. Jan. 25. (Special.) The
House Committee on Revision of Laws
tonight substituted for bills of Richie
and Settlemeir a bill providing that In
a county of less than 75.000 population
when a voter once legally registers he
need not again do so. so long as he
stays in the precinct where registered.
TOUCH ON SALARIES
Score of Bills Affect State and
County Officials.
MANY NOT YET ACTED UPON
Benton Measure Calls for a Cut of
Twenty Per Cent, but Other Coun
ties May Have to Pay
More Hereafter.
SALEM, Or.. Jan. 25. (Special.) A
score of bills dealing with the salaries' of
state and county officers have been in
troduced In the House, and more are to
follow.
The most Important bill of all Is the
Kay hill for fiat salaries for state officers.
Most of the salary bills have not - yet
been acted on by the committee on sal
aries of state and county officers, but a
recommendation of the bill of Shook of
Klamath was made by the committee this
morning. For Klamath County a Deputy
County Clerk at J60 a month and a
Deputy Sheriff at $75 a month are author
ized. A decrease of salaries appears In the
two bills of " Carter of Benton, which
have been referred to the Benton County
delegation. This provides for a cut of
20 per cent. The County Judge Is here
after to receive $720 a year, the School
Superintendent $800, the County Clerk
$1140. the Recorder $S00 and the Treasurer
$100.
"Bob" Smith, of Josephine, also has In
the committee-box a bill on the Secre
tary of State's salary, providing that he
turn Into the treasury all the fees and
other emoluments received, but leaving
the amount of salary blank.
The bill of Burns providing for salaries
of $600 a year for the Treasurer of Curry
County and $300 a year for the County
Commissioners, with mileage, has been
re-referred to the committee.
Shook of Klamath has Introduced bills
which practically raise the salaries of all
officers of his county. The Assessor is to
receive $1300 a year Instead of $900, the
School Superintendent $1200. besides the
new deputies created In another bill.
To most of these bills Is attached the
emergency clause, but it Is probable that
the committee will remember the Gov
ernor's threat of veto, and will cut off
this clause In many instances.
Among other bills now before the salaries
committee are West's bill providing for a
salary of $1200 for the School Superin
tendent of Tillamook County, one from
Richie allowing $1300 to the Treasurer of
Marion County, one from Laws providing
a salary of $1200 to the Clatsop County
Judge, and another from Griffin which
raises the salaries of the County Judge
and Treasurer of Lane County from $800
to $1200 a year. Another of the numerous
bills of Smith of Josephine provides a
salary of $600 a year for the County Judge
of Josephine. $700 for the Treasurer. $1200
for the County Clerk. $1500 for the
Sheriff, $1300 Xor the Assessor and $600 for
the School Superintendent. This has
been referred to the Josephine delegation.
Dobbin this afternoon Introduced a
House bill by which the County Judge of
Wallowa County will receive JS00 a year.
The salary of the County Judge of Lin
coln Is raised to $600 by Cooper's bill
today.

JEFFERSON COUNTY IS SHELVED
Prospects for Cascades Seem to Be
Very Good.
SALEM, Or.. Jan. 25. (Special.) The bill
creating Cascade County will be recom
mended for passage by the House counties
committee. The Jefferson County bill, for
whose passage Its author. Burgess of Was
co, has made so hard a fight. Is shelved
for good. The Hot Lake County bill was
not considered by the committee tonight,
though large delegations from Union and
La Grande are here working for and
against It.
There seems little doubt that the Cas
cade County bill will pass the House.
Representative Jayne has been well backed
up in his arguments by personal pleas
from other Hood River people. Senator
Wbealdon, coming from The Dalles, will
naturally oppose the bill in the Senate,
but It Is prophesied that if the Senate
kills the bill It will not be on Whealdon's
representations.
Cascade County cuts off the northwest
portion of "Wasco, while Jefferson, or Nes
mlth, includes the northern tier of Crook's
townships with" a part-of Wasco. Hot
Lake Is to "be carved' out of Union. Lewis
and Clark County, which was to be cut
out of Grant, has practically been given
up. The outlook for Cascade County la
regarded as favorable.
KAY'S FLAT SALARY BILL.
Fees and Perquisites to Go to State
Treasury.
SALEM, Or., Jan, 25. (Special.) To put

are: Governor, $5000 a year; Secretary of
State, $1300; State Treasurer, $4500; Su
preme Judges, $4500 each; Attorney-General,
$3000.
The bill provides that the above officers
shall receive no fees, perquisites or emolu
ments in addition to the above salaries.
The bill does not apply to the present In
cumbents of the state offices. Any officer
who shall fall to turn over to the State
Treasurer all fees and perjulsltes "shall
be deemed guilty of embezzlement."
For concurrent legislation between
the States of Oregon and Washington
a Joint committee of the Oregon Leg
islature will meet a similar commit
tee of the Washington Legislature at
the end of this week. The Oregon com
mittee. Is composed of Senators Tuttle
and Cpshow, and Representatives
Crang, Cooper and Burns, of Clatsop.

W.HEALDON IS DEFIANT. ,
Insists on Emergency Clause In In
dian War Veteran Appropriation.
SALEM. Or., Jan. 25. (Special.) "If you
veto that bill you will find the Indian war
veterans haven't got all the fight out of
them yet." This was the defiance Sen
ator Whealdon hurled at Governor Cham
berlain today In speaking of the Indian
war veterans' bill, which carries an ap
propriation of $45,000 and an emergency
clause which declares 'that It Is necessary
or Immediate preservation of public
peace, neattn ana saiety tnat tne act
shall take effect at once. The Governor
has announced his intention to veto every
bill which declares an emergency which
does not exist because such clause de
prives people of the right which they
have retained under initiative and refer
endum to demand that bills be referred to
them.
Whealdon decided to take chances with
his bill and let it pass the Senate with
the clause attached. Possibly It may be
amended. In the House so as to cut off this
clause, but If not it will have a very
strong chance of meeting the disapproval
of the Governor.
"I want the veterans bill passed and I
don't want to veto It," the Governor Is
said to have advised Senator Whealdon,
"but I am governed by the constitution,
and whatever my personal feelings may
be when that or any other bill comes be
fore me I shall follow the constitution."

membere consider It a good buy. If It Is
decided that the Governor shall make his
home In Salem. The dwelling, though old
and wooden. Is today the finest In the city.

Dr. R.V. Pierce, consulting: physician to

faith to an alterative extract of certain
Slants and roots for the cure of all blood

Golden Medical Discovery. Containing; no
alcohol nor narcotics, entirely vegetable,
this "Discovery makes rich red blood and
is a powerful tissue-builder, giving the tired
business man or woman renewed strength
and health. Rapidly growing school-girls
