GOVERNOR INCLINED TO VETO
Deferred From So Doing Because
Representatives From -Two States
- Had Agreed on Provisions
, for the Columbia.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 24. (Special.) The
now .flailing law enacted by the last Leg
islature, revising the closed seasons for
flfthing on the Columbia and many other
streams, carried, an emergency clause and
is now in .full force and effect
Bo far as the Columbia" la concerned,
this law was drawn in accordance with
the agreement reached by the joint con
ference committees appointed by . the leg
islatures of Oregon and "Washington. Jt
was because of the agreement between
the two atates that the emergency clause
was attached to the act. but the emer
gency clause is also effective as to
changes In closed seasons pn other
streams mentioned.
This hill shortens the Spring closed
season on the- Columbia and Willamette 15
days, and it Is this change that is of
chief importance to the fishing industry.
Heretofore the closed season begau March
0. but hereafter It will begin March 15.
Because the llshlng jeason had been
lengthened and the closed season short
ened, thus making it .more difficult to
prevent the extermination of salmon. Gov
ernor Chamberlain was strongly inclined
to veto the bill and was only deterred by
the fact that this moamire had been
agreed upon by representatives of the
two states.
The changofi made in the fishing sea
sons on other streams are amendments
to the fishing act of the session of ISS!. the
yrincipal change being the abrogation of

NO STATE FAIR THIS YEAR
Attorney-General Says State Funds
Cannot Be Used for Race Meet.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 24. (Special.) "No
State Fair can be held in 1005," declared
Attorney-General Crawford today in an
swer to an Inquiry from the State Fair
Board. The Legislature at Its recent
session pasrod an act authorizing and di
recting the State Fair Board to expend the
annual appropriation of $10,000 for im
provements In 19-35, and relieving the board
from holding an exhibit in that year.
The Fair Board, howover, was anxious
to hold a fair this year and sought to
find authority therefor In section 413S of
the code, making it the duty of the board
to hold "an annual fair or exhibition,"
which section has not been repealed.
Tho Attorney-General holds that, al
though this section has not been repealed,
expressly or by Implication, the Legisla
ture has suspended the holding of the
fair for one year. He also holds- that tho
annual appropriation of $10,000, together
with the additional $5000 appropriated by
the Legislature, must be used for im
provements at the fair grounds during the
year 1905, and that any sum not so used
will rovert to the general fund. In con
clusion Attorney-General Crawford says
there is nothing to prevent the board
from holding a race meet in IPOS, but
none of tho state appropriation can be
used for that purpose.

MORMONS START WARM DEBATE
Objection Made to Provision in State
Board of Health Bill.

debate was heard ia the Senate today on
the Mormon question. It arose in a pe
culiar manner. A bill to establish a
State Board of Health was under discus
sion. Senator Rich, of Bear Lake County,
a Mormon, spoke acainst the measure.
After detailing some objections, the Sen
ator launched out into an attack on the
provision requiring registration of all
births, including those "out of wedlock."
"If any member of a family should hap
pen to fall," he said, "we should not re
quire by law that the disgrace be pa
raded. It is bad enoush without that."
This brought Senator Macbeth to hl3
feet with a statement that the bill was In
harmony with legislation against polyg
amy enacted at this sesslon.i
"I regard this bill as the strongest ad
junct to the anti-polygamy law," he said.
because of Its requirements regarding
the registration of births and marriages."
Several Mormon members followed, some
supporting and come opposing the bill.
Senator Hart, of Fremont, took occasion
to say that polygamy was dead. Mac-
Beth asked whj'. then. ,it had been deemed
necessary to pass an anti-polygamy bill.
This aroused Hart, who said:
"I'll tell you why- It was to close the
mouths of the character assassins who
have been going over this state and over
the Nation shouting from the housetops
their villincatlon because Idaho had no
law against polygamy."

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men The Influence of a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.
Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a -woman because she is
be&utiful in their eyes
"because she has the quali
ties which inspire admira
tion, respect and lore.
There is a beauty m
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity q feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
oi ambition ; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de
stroyed. "What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head ! A sickly, half-dead-and-alive
woman,
especially when she is
the mother of a family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and a
drag upon her husband.
The codfc of a wife's con
stant illness is a serious
drain npon the funds of a
household, and too often all the doc
toring does no good.
If a woman finds her eneriries are
flagging, and that everything tires her,
darlc shadows appear under her eyes,
her sleep is disturbed by horrible
dreams ; if she has backache, head
aches, bearing-down pains, nervous
ness, whites, irregularities, or despon
dency, she should take means to build
her system up at once by a tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound.
This great remedy for women has
done more in the way of restoring
health to the women of America than
all other medicines put together. It is
the safeguard of woman's health.
Following we publish, by request, a
letter from a young wife.
Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th
Street, Tacoma, Wash., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Ever since ray child was born I bae suf
