WASHINGTON AT THE FAIR
Senate Introduces Concurrent Reso
lution Providing for Legislative
Committee, Headed by Gov
ernor to Represent State.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. March 7. f Spe
cial.) Almost the entire morning was
expended by the House in discussing a
House bill amending the existing: road
law so that the supervision system is
again adopted, ana the discussion at
times srew acrimonious. The bill Is a
compromise measure, resulting from th
intense dissatisfaction with the present
law existing: in Eastern Washington,
and party pledges to repeal it.
The present system was vigorously
assailed, and strong exceptions were
taken to the remarks by Wier. of King
County, that the road work under the
supervisor system generally resulted in
a roadside picnic, with a keg of beer
4n the shade.
Those statements were branded as
false by Melcner of Lincoln County and
Kcroyer of Whitman, but Reid of Pierce
pacified a brewing storm by saying that
Weir was right as to much of the work
done in "Western Washington, but
wrong as to Eastern Washington.
The- dlscussfon was in committee of
the whole, and Both tried to put the
bill to sleep by securing the adoption
of a motion that the committee rise
and report progress. The friends of
the bill voted for the motion and then
discovered that they had left the bill
in committee by so doing. They prompt
ly moved to go back into committee
and, although the vote was doubtful,
the Speaker was with them and permit
ted them to rescue the bill from its
threatened grave.
In the evening- session the rules were
suspended and the bill was passed, ayes

Commission on School Lands.
The House passed Roth's bill creat
ing a commission to serve without pay,
and to report two years hence on the
condition of the state school and grant
ed lands and submit recommendations
for needed ohanges lnthe:land laws.
The reservation feature' prohibiting the
sale -of lands for two years is contained
In a companion bill which was not
acted on.
The Mcgler fisheries bill, drawn to
conform to tho agreement between
the Oregon and Washington conference
commissions, passed the Senate today
and is ready for the signature of the
Governor.
The bill also relates to Pugct Sound
fisheries and carries a section provid
ing for a closed season of 36 hours
each week during all seasons on Puget
Sound, excluding the Columbia River
and Gray s Harbor from this provision.
State bank regulation was put an
end to by the Senate killing the House
bill prepared by a committee of the
State Bankers' Association and intro
duced in the House by Barrett. The
bill pVovSded for a state bank exam
iner, regulated, the reserve funds, cap
ital and other features of the banking
business. The killing of the bill was
largely upon alleged economic grounds,
the members not desiring to create an
other paid office.
The bill was indefinitely postponed by a
vote of 22 to 15.
Antl-Scalplng Bill Passes.
The anti-scalplng bill Introduced in the
Senate by Sumner passed that body, 33
to 4. Those who voted against the meas
ure were: Moore, Graves, Rasher and
Ruth.
Senattor Moore attempted to have a num
ber of amendments made to the bill which
would satisfy the ticket-scalpers, but Sen
ator Sumner appealed to the Senate not
to mutilate the bill, and as a member of
the Lewis and Clark Fair Commission in
sisted that the bill was necessary to
make the Fair' and the travel of this
year to the Coast a success. The Senate
rallied to his support and voted down all
of Moore's amendments.
It is likely that the Washington legis
lature will follow the precedent set by
California and will send an ofilclal dele
gation to the Lewis and Clark Fair In the
coming Summer.
A concurrent resolution was introduced
in the Senate this morning by Rands pro
viding for a legislative committee of seven
Senators, nine Representatives, the IJeu-tenant-Governor,
the Speaker and the
Governor officially to represent the state
at the Fair. The resolution recites that
the Federal Congress has made a similar
provision, and that the State of Wash
ington, being deeply indebted, should be
officially represented. The appropriations
committee is instructed to make provis
ion fer paying the expenses of the party.
It Is estimated that $1000 will be the out
side cost for this state.
The resolution passed the Senate.
Tae House in evening session took up
the resolution and, after cutting out
that portion which requires the joint
appropriations committee to prorlde for
the committee's expenses, adopted the
resolution.
The question of regulating the deposit
ing of state funds has again been put up
to the Senate.
Deposits of State Money.
The House this morning took the Scott
bill up on second Teading, added amend
ments which require banks carrying de
posits of state money to pay interest
thereon at the rate of 1 per cent, and
then passed the bill under a suspension
of the rules.
The bill as -passed prohibits the State
Treasurer, from depotltlnj in o&e
more than 10 per cent in excess of tho
paid-up capital stock of such bank.
An attempt was made by ' Vilas to
amend by allowing deposits of 10 per cent
in excess of the capital stock, surplus and
undivided profits, but he was the only
member to vote for the amendment. In
the vote on final passage there were only
two votes cast against the bill, and it
was ordered immediately transmitted to
the Senate.
ane Senate also took cognizance of the
banWng question this morning by adopt
ing a resolution similar to that passed by
the House, calling upon the State Treas
urer for information, as to the money on
band, the names of depositories and the
amount of interest, if any, paid to the
state.
A tie vote, 17 to 17, resulted on a mo
tion to table the resolution, and President
Coon declared the motion lost.

This is the amount of cash in the hands of
the State Treasurer at the present time.
Second There la nothing: In my office to in
dicate where the funds have been deposited at
any time in the past. At the present time th
business of my office is done through the Cap

my direction, has placed deposits of state
funds in institutions in Seattle, Tacoma, Bel

state funds, through the Capital National
Bank, pay no Interest on same, cither to the
fltate .to the Capital National Bank, or any
person whatsoever. The amount sow on de
posit, as indicated, is ? 693.331. S2.
In regard to this method of transacting the
business of mj office. I desire to state that my
very first consideration must be the absolute
tafety of the funds on hand. I have consid
ered it infinitely eater to deposit tbe fundi in
tbe manner above indicated rather than make
tbe deposits in institutions outside of CHympla,
direct from the Treasurer's office. The distribu
tion of tbe funds over the ot&te is made under
my direction, and the Capital National Bank
is responsible to the Treasurer tor their palely.
I desire to state further that I am under no
obligation whatsoever to favor any particular
institution in tbla state in the matter of the
deposit of the public funds.
Third The only interest-bearing warrants
now outstanding are the Capitol building war
rants, which amount, in the aggregate, to
$515,841.60. These warants do not constitute
a debt against tbe state, hut against the Cap
itol lands, and are payable only after such
lands shall have been sold.
Fourth I do not know of any interest that
has ben paid to the state by any Institution
upon mato funds deposited therein.
Fifth Since assuming the duties of State
Treasurer. January 11, my time has been si
thoroughly occupied with the routine work of
my office that I have not considered at all
whether any portion of the Mate funds can b
by me deposited in absolutly sound and respojv
sible banking institutions that would be will.
Ing to pay Interest for the use of tbe same. 1
do not even know what the practice of the
bank is respecting the payment of interest.
If any, on average dally balances or time de
posits. GEORGE G. MILLS, State Treasurer.

SPRING SURPRISE ON MACHINE
Minority In Salem City .Council De
feat Salary Ordinance.
SALEM, Or., March ".(Special.) The
so-called "machine" organization of the
City Council was caught napping last
evening, with the result that a proposed
ordinance designated to raiso the salaries
of the City Marshal and City Recorder
from 51000 to 51200 each per annum was
called up and defeated by the minority
by only one vote.
Several weeks ago the Council consid
ered an ordinance raising the salaries of
all of the city officials. The Marshal and
City Recorder failed to secure an Increase
under this ordinance and a new one was
drawn and presented at a subsequent
meeting covering these two offices ex
clusively. Had all tbe members been
present last evening when the bill was
scheduled to come up regularly for third
reading and final passage. It would have
succeeded, as the vote would have been a
tie, with the deciding vote t be cast by
the Mayor.
One of the members in favor of the
ordinance, J. C. Good ale. was absent last
evening, the minority members leok ad
vantage of this condition, called tbe bill
out of the hands of the committee, con
sidered and defeated it by only" one vote.

CUTS OFF NORMALS
State Secretary Would Refuse
to Audit Such Bills
WERE REFERENDUM CARRIED
Sums for Improvements and Ad
ditional Maintenance at State
University and Other insti
tutions Cannot Be Drawn.
SALEM, Or., March 7. (Special.) If the
referendum should be demanded upon the
51,000,000 appropriation bill passed by the
last Legislature, Secretary of State Dun
bar will nevertheless be required to audit
claims for the maintenance of institutions
for which 5673,233 was appropriated. He
will refuse to audit claims for purposes
for which 5373.031 was appropriated by
the bill against which a fight is being
waged.
The claims tho Secretary of State will
audit are those which existing laws au
thorize to bo incurred. Those ho will not
audit are for expenditures which have no
authority of law other than the appropri
ation itself.
Should the appropriation bill be held up
by a referendum petition, the asylum,
penitentiary. Reform School, University
of Oregon, Agricultural College and Sol
diers Home will continue in operation as
they have in the past. The university.
Agricultural College and Soldiers' Home
have standing appropriations, which can
be In no way affected by any referendum
movement, but the additional appropria
tions made for these institutions cannot
be expended if the appropriation bill be
referred to a vote of the people, unless
the people vote In favor of the appropria
tions. There is no standing appropriation for
the asylum, penitentiary, reform, mute
and blind schools, but under existing
laws the Secretary of State will audit
claims for the maintenance of these In
stitutions, and will Issue certificates
showing the amounts duo. Such certifi
cates will not bear Interest unless the
next Legislature allows Interest upon
them.
Expenses for maintenance of Normal
schools, for buildings and additional
maintenance at the asylum, university.
Agricultural College and Soldiers' Home
will not be approved by the Secretary of
State.
The policy thus stated was expressed by
Secretary of State Dunbar today, and his
position regarding the effect of demand
ing the referendum upon the appropria
tion bill Is plain. In his view of the
matter the people have the power by de
manding "ihe referendum to prevent the
expenditure of 5373,091. They have no
power to prevent the maintenance of tno
asylum, prison, reform, mute and blind
schools, university. Agricultural College
and Soldiers' Home, by merely demanding
the referendum upon the appropriation
bill, for theso institutions do not depend
upon the appropriation bill for their right
to incur expense.
So far as these Institutions are con
cerned, the effect of the Tilling of a refer
endum petition would bo to prevent the
issue of warrants and to cut off the ad
ditional appropriations.
There having been various statements
made regarding what the Secretary of
State will do In case the referendum pe
titions should be filed, the question was
asked him today, and he replied that he
will not audit claims under the following
appropriations:
Asylum, Improvement J" S7.2.V)
Reform School, improvement..,-.'. 10,600
Mute School. Improvement. 2.000
Blind School. Improvements , 0,600
State University, additional mainte
nance and Improvements 62,500
Experimental Station at Union 15,000
Agricultural College. Improvements.... 03,000
Monmouth Norma), maintenance 31, WO
Ashland Normal, maintenance 31,000
Drain Normal, maintenance 21.000
"Weston Normal, maintenance 25.000
Soldiers' Hone, additional maintenance JS.OO0
Soldiers' Home, improvements 1,220
State Biologist, expenses 1,000
Irrigation Commission, expenze 324
Total 5373,004
So far as may be necessary, he will
audit claims under the following appro
priations: Insane Asylum, maintenance..., 5400,000
Insane transportation 32.500
Penitentiary, maintenance Ill', 000
Convict transportation 16,000
Reform School, maintenance 53,000
Mute School, maintenance 37,500
Blind School, maintenance 15,500
Support of nonresident poor 5.000
Return of fugitives 3,000
Rewards for arrest aoo
Expenses Presidential Electors 333
Total 5573,335
"When the Legislature failed to organize
In 1S97. Secretary of Stale KIncald refused
to audit claims for the Normal Schools,
for the reason that there was no author
ity of law for him to do so in the absence
of appropriations, and Secretary Dunbar
will follow this precedent it the appro
priation bill should be held up. If he
changes from this policy. It will be only
upon the advice of the Attorney-General,
or the orders of the courts. The question
as to his duty cannot be presented in a
legal way until May IS, when the referen
dum petitions must be filed.
PETITIONS GENERALLY. SIGNED
Mass Meeting at Lebanon Takes Up
Active Campaign for Referendum.
ALBANY. Or.. March 7. Special.) The
circulation of petitions requesting a ref
erendum vote on the appropriations bill
passed by the recent session of the. Leg
islature began at Lebanon this morning,
and a report received from there today at
noon says the petitions are being gen
erally signed.
The work of circulating the petitions
was started by a mass meeting of citizens
last night, which was attended by men
of all political parties. Plans were sug
gested for a systematic canvass of the
entire county with the petitions, and an
executive committee consisting of F. C.
Powell, Robert Kyle, G. T. Cqtton, P. C.
Hansard and H. Y. Klrkpatrlck was ap
pointed to be in charge of tbe work in
the precincts surrounding Lebanon.
Opinion at this meeting was very strong
In favor of tho referendum movement,
and the opinion of those present was that
while they were In favor of using the
initiative in attacking the normal schools,
they believe the referendum movement
the better of tho two for the present emer
gency, and would not be "sidetracked
from their purpose of teaching the Legis
lature a lesson in regard to future appro
priations by the proposed plan of using
the Initiative."
A mass meeting is to be held at Sclo
next Saturday afternoon to create enthu
siasm la the movement and start the
work of the circulation of petitions In that
part of the county. Senator Miller, of
Lebanon, will address this meeting.
The City of Albany does not seem to be
taking hold of the movement as enthu
siastically as other parts of the county.
However, plans are now being "made for a
mass meeting to be ild here next Mon
day evening to consider the matter of cir
culating petitions.
ACT WITH A PLAIN MEANING
Means of Presenting Normal School
Question to Initiative.
SALEM. Or.. March 7. Special.') A
short, dear repealing act, abrogating
those sections of -e Oregon laws estab
lishing two normal schools, is believed
by many to be the best mode of presenting
the correal school question by initiative.
A Matter
of Health
There is a quality in Royal
Baking Powder which makes
the food more digestible and
wholesome. This peculiarity
of Royal has been noted by
physicians, and they accord
ingly endorse and recom
mend it.
ROYAL. BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.
An act the purpose of which can be easily
understood, and which will arouse no dis
cussion as to its terms, but will give the
people an opportunity to express their
opinions In definite form, is favored by
advocates of the initiative plan of getting
at a troublesome question.
To repeal the sections of the law creat
ing the Drain -and Ashland Normal
Schools, thus leaving one normal In "West
ern Oregon and one in Eastern Oregon.
Is the plan most generally suggested, and
this could be accomplished by passing a
bill repealing sections 3301 to 3507, inclu
sive, of Bellinger and Cotton's Anno
tated Laws of Oregon,
To initiate a bill of this kind would re
quire the signatures of 7200 voters. It
would bo necessary to prepare the bill
and attach a copy of it to each Initiative
petition. The petitions, with the signa
tures certified by the County Clerks of
the counties In which the signers reside,
would have to be filed four montns before
the June election In 1S0S.
Various methods nave been proposed for
settling the normal school question by
initlatlve, one being to secure the adop
tion of a law by the people creating one
board to conduct one or two normal
schools, to be designated in the bill, and
repealing all laws establishing normal
schools other than those designated.
Those who have examined the laws
upon tbe subject say that the people can
amend or repeal any law now existing
upon the subject of normal schools, or
can enact an entirely new law governing
these Institutions.
Under the Initiative and referendum
amendment the people may propose a con
stitutional amendment by Initiative and
have it submitted to a vote of the people
as an Initiated law Is submitted. Under
this power a constitutional amendment
could bo adopted making it the duty of
the Legislature to provide for one normal
school, and only one, and the location of
this one could be named In the amend
ment. The demands of the normal schools at
tho last session of the Legislature for
3100.000 for new buildings has been of
strong Influence In arousing sentiment
in favor of cutting down the number of
normal schools. Thus far the state has
made but one appropriation for a normal
school building, that at Weston. aho
state has therefore nothing to lose in tho
way of buildings by abolishing any of tue
school?- vcopi yiat at Weston.
MASS- MEEETING IN YAMHILL
Efforts to Be Made Toward a Non
partisan Campaign.
M'MINNVILLB, Or., March 7. Spe
claL) The referendum committee at this
place is tireless In its efforts to get the
signature of every voter In the county
on the referendum petitions. It is antici
pated that 3000 signers will be secured In
Yamhill County alone. A call has been
Issued to the citizens of the county for a
mass meeting Saturday, March 11, for the
purpose of organizing a referendum move
ment in each precinct of the county
It has been hinted that at this meeting
an organization will be effected for the
purpose of carrying on a nonpartisan
campaign to elect members to the State
Legislature who will carry out a pro
gramme that may be agreed upon. Some
think that other counties will do the same
thing, and it a sufficient number follow
this plan, a state organization may be
made.
A man who watched closely the appro
priations made by the last Legislature
stated that $1,000,000 could be saved to the
state. If the grafts could be eliminated.

RIGHT TO BREAK OFF MARRIAGE
If Consumption Is Hereditary the
Excuse Is Sufficient.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 7. (Spe
cial.) Superior Judge Albertaon this
morning decided that if it can be proven
that consumption is a disease trans
mitted from parent to offspring, then
a man or woman has a right to break
a promise to marry a person affected
with It, If this can be proven, a jury
can assess no damages against the per
son breaking tho marriage promise.
The court refused to decide that con
sumption was such a disease, holding
that to be a fact for the jury. The deci
sion was made in a suit brought by
Rosene E. Grover to recover $25,000
from Mayor Zook. of. Ballard, for

Your blood Is always full of poison the
poison you eat and drink and breathe Into
your system. It is the purpose of the blood
to absorb and carry off this very poison.
And the kidneys, which, are the blood filters;
are expected to cleanse the blood and send
it back through the system clean, to gather
more poison which, they, in turn, will ellmi-.

Horses Burned to Death.
WAXiXiA -WALLA. Wash., March 7.
Five horses were burned in. a fire wMch
destroyed a livery stable In this city to-
of Rheumatism are everywhere and genuino
relief Is rare.
I spent twenty years In experimenting be
fore I felt satisfied that J had a certain
remedy for this dread disease a remedy
which would not only clean out the poison,
but one which would stop its formation.
Certain Relief
The secret lay in a wonderful chemical I
found In Germany. TVnen I found this
chemical I knew that I could make a rheu
matic cure that would be practically cer
tain. But even then, before I made an
announcement before I was willing to put
my name on It I made more than 2000
tests! And my failures were but 2 per cent.
This German chemical Is not the only in
gredient I use in Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure
but It made the remedy possible made
possible an achievement which. I doubt not.
could have been made In no other way.
This chemical waa very expensive. Th
duty. too. was high. In all It cost me $4.90
per pound. But what Is $4.90 per pound for
a real remedy for the world's most painful
disease? for a real relief from the great
est torture human beings know?
I don't mean that Dr. Shoop's Rbeumatlo
Cure can turn bony Joints Into flesh again
that is impossible. But it will drive from
the blood the poison that causes pain and
swelling, and then that Is the end of the
pain and swelling the end of the suffer
ing the end of Rheumatism. That Is why I
can afford to make this liberal offer that
Is why I can afford to spend the FIRST
dollar that Rheumatic sufferers, the world
over, may learn of my remedy.
Simply Write Me t
The offer Is open to everyone, everywhere,
who has ' not tried my remedy. But you
must write ME for the free dollar package
order. I will send you an order on your
druggist which he will accept as gladly as
he would accept a dollar. He will hand you
from his shelves a standard-sized package
and he will send the bill to me. There are
no conditions no requirements. All that I
ask you to do is to write write today.
