history of the state. The . Legislature
took final action today on all of the
most important matters of the session.
The Senate passed the House ominbus
appropriation bill without amendment
except to add a few Hems that had
been overlooked. and the House
promptly concurred In these, so that
for tile first time in years this bill
is out of the way before the last day
of the ssesion.
The- Senate also passed the House
bill amending the salmon fishing laws
and the House' bill appropriating 50,
000 for a branch of the Soldiers" Home

dividing the state Into congressional
Ulstrictfl. ...
AVhllo this was eoin; on in the Sen
ate, the House passed the Senate direct
primary bill with some amendments,
which the Senate later agreed to;
passed the congressional apportional
hill, referred to above, passed Senate
hills making the factory inspection
laws mandatory, granting to the Fed
rral Government a right of way for
the Lake Washington canal, validat
ing King County's half million dollar
hond issue for that canal, increasing
salaries of nearly all county officers
and permitting Kverett to become a
first-class city.
SoJons Break tlio Record.
Direct primary, congressional appor
tionment, general appropriations, all
settled In one day. Such a record
was never made before In this state.
Is all the more remarkable hecause
about 21 hours ago it was the general
impression some of the bills might
never get through, and a big fight and
looff dfbnto was expected on all of
them. But they slipped through easily,
and tonight the Legislature is cele
brating. It so happened that tonight is tha
date for the ball the Legislature gives
in honor of the citizens of Olympia.
Arrangements had been made for a
big affntr. and today's happenings have
made everybody in particularly good
fettle for the enjoyment.
It has been a day of surprises in
many ways, and to some extent of
sensations. Thus this morning many
of the open river advocates in the
Houso determined to themselvrvs to
kill that measure, solely because they
thought Us deatli necessary to protect
the state from the $lo),0rtO appropria
tion asked for by the Stuck and "White
Jiivcr flood men.
Dramatic Scene in House.
F. M. Thompson, of Spokane, who in
troduced tho bill, who fought long and
loyally for it, moved in the House that
the bill, which had passed the House,
be recalled from the Senate, to be held
In thm House till too late to pass. Af
ter making the recall motion, Thomp
son burst Into tears. Godmfln of Col
umbia fought the recall. He insisted
the House should, not give way to
Senate threats, and declared that the
Stuck River men could not scare -him
by threats to kill the bill, or to pass
their own. and the House by a close
vote refused to recall the measure, and
it may yet go through the Senate. .
The Ross investigation report wag read
in the House and approved without one
dissenting vote. The report is a complete
and thorough vindication of E. W. Ross,
Land Commissioner, from all the charges
of favoritism and Improper conduct made
against his office.
The oyster investigation committee,
which was appointed to look into the
merit behind the bills allowing lessees of
state oyster lands to secure complete title
from the state, reported to the House to
day that the bill should not p:iss, as the
state laws regarding shellfish are now
the most liberal in the Union. One ntein
ber of the committee refused to sign the
report, and recommended the bill do pass
amended, and the majority report was
turned down and the minority adopted. -
Elect Judges at Primaries.
In passing the direct primary bill" the
House put in an amendment which will

ic ' . I

absolutely elect al3 Judges hereafter at J
the primaries Instead of at the general
election. The bill provides for a ion-
parisan judiciary, and that all judicial
nominees names be at the bottom of the
individual party tickets without designa
tion of the party to which the candidate
belongs.
In making an amendment to cover short
and Ion?-ternrt Judges, the House adopted
an amendment and the Senate later con
curred which will make it impossible to
place the , names of any Judgeship can
didates on the ballot for general election
other than those getting the majority vote
at the primaries. Thus1 the Judges elec
tion will be solely at the primaries. This
was asked .for by Supreme Court and
other Judgex who do not want to make
two campaigns, one primary, the other
general. The bill has gone too far to be
changed now and will become a law that
way.
Tho Congressional apportionment bill
went through- the House by unanimous
vote just as amended last night by com
mittee, and the- Senate concurred without
a question.
The Senate to6?ay passed the House bill
giving Aberdeen extra charter powers, a
Houee bill generally amending the road
and bridge laws, and a bill prohibiting
digging clams without consent . of the
beach owner.
Lumbermen' Bill Botched.
The House passed nine House bill, be
sides eight Senate measures, among them
bill appropriating lo,0o0 to pay the
old warrants issued in 1893 for Cheney
and Be.llingham Normal School construc
tion, later held invalid. This is a matter
every Legislature for years has been
urged to settle.
The lumbermen s reciprocal demurrage.
which has passed both House and Senate,
reached the Governor, in awful condition
as a result of errors of committee clerks.
It was filled with glaring grammatical
and other blunders and did not even bear
the signature of the Speaker. It was
withdrawn and patched up and later re
turned to the executive offices. The Gov
ernor today signed 30 bills.

LETTERS ADD TO
MURDER
MYSTERY
Widow of Reno Hutchinson
Receives Messages From
Man in Tennessee.
FAMILIAR WITH THE CRIME
Detectives Learn That "Jno. J.
Mastcn," Who Signs Letters, Is
Baptist Minister Sympathetic
Tone in the Epistles.
SPOKANE, Wash., MarAi 12. (Special.)
Letters have been sent to the police
here by Virginia Spencer Hutchinson,
widow of Reno Hutchinson, the Y. M. C.
A. secretary, who was murdered here
last Fall.
The letters purport to have come from
one John J. Masten. and were mailed
from various towns in the State of Ten
nessee. They address Mrs. Hutchinson by
her Christian name, and are couched in
a sympathetic tone, bidding her be of
good cheer, and referring repeatedly to
Reno Hutchinson as "one of God's noble
men." They are signed variously, "Jno.
J. Masten," "John K. Masten-" and "Rev.
Jno. J. Masten."
The letters were.' forwarded by Mrs.
Hutchinson as being possible clews to the
identity of the murderer. She states that
she knows no one by the name of Masten
or any one answering the description of
the man which was given by the Chief
of Police of HarrUnan, Tenn. Other
towns from which letters were sent are
Lancing and Mayland, Tenn.
Suspicious circumstances connected with
tiie letters themselves further strengthen
Mrs. Hutchinson's beliif that the writer
may know something of the murder. In
writing the name of Reno, the writer has
first ' written the name "Robert" and
"Rob," which has been erased afterwards.
This is the name which a neighbor heard
cried out at about the time of the assas
sination, and is not that of any known
acquaintance of Mr. Hutchinson's.
In one of tiie letters Masten says he
will send Mrs. Hutehirison a photograph
of himself. This she says she never re
ceived. He also speaks of the "murder
ers." in the plural, thus showing a pos
sible knowledge of the matter. Mr.
Hutchinson, furthermore, although he
had been in the South, had never been in
Tennessee. It was in view of these cir
cumstances attending the letters that they
were turned over to Alex McDonald, tho
detective here who has charge of the
case.
The description of Masten received from
Harriman pictures him as a short, dark
man with a very nervous manner. He
was representing himself in that part of
the country as a Baptist minister, giving
lectures on the Hoiy Land and selling
phonographs.

month in advertising the state through a
score of mediums. In all sections of the
East, and that not one dollar of this
frreat expenditure was for advertising
Portland only; every section of the state
sharing in the benefit.
Mr. Richardson stated that many of
the other towns of the state were doing
proportionately as much in advertising,
and that the railroad companies now had
on a $-rate from the East to Pacific
Coast points to further stimulate immi
gration to Oregon. He closed his address
with a resume of the resources of Rogue
River Valley and the benefit residents of
this favored section will receive by hav
ing more people and more capital to de
velop them. "
Mr. Richardson called on those present
to start the movement to raise a fund for
advertising the city and valley:
In a few minuted monthly pledges were
signed up amounting to 32000 for the year
and the committee that was appointed to
.continue the soliciting expect to bring
this advertising fuid up to 4000 or more.
A short address, full of" hope and cour
age, was made by H. L. Gilkey. whjle the
opening of the meeting was enlivened by
music by the Grants Pass orchestra.
From here Mr. Richardson goes to Med

Many Eat as Though They Were Blind
and Their Tongues Cut Out.
Dyspepsia is built on confidence too
much confidence in the ability of your
stomach to digest anything and every
thing you put into it.
In this age we have developed speed
in every line of action, and we have
ulso developed speed in mastication.
We don't take time to eat right, and
sometimes we do not eat the right kind
of food. Sometimes we carry our busi
ness to our meals and as a result eat
mechanically. We eat as though we
were blind and our tongues cut out. :
We simply swallow. .
The result is that the food we eat ia
half chewed, and lies like a lump of
lead on the stomach.
You mar deny to yourself that you
abuse your stomach, but when you get
l bloaty feeling, you can't deny you o
got it.

burning sensations, bloating, aversion
to food, loss of appetite, belching and
