An amendment to the Orecnn constitu

to the Stittu L-gishilure this month by

Population is the natural basis on
which representation In th legislature

It. Oia;Mn. ex-Ilt pres. ntative from this
county, yesterday. "There never has bjen
pished a reapportionment bill In an Ore

amendment to be proposed by the Re

method for determining that distribution.

"I am perfectly satisfied that one cer
tain advantage will follow the adoption
r.d enforcement of the proposed amend
ment. It would tend to elevate the
standard of our legislators. Take, for
Instance, the primary election last April.
In tiiis county were 36 candidates for the
i: nomination on the representative
ticket. The candidates camo miscel
laneously from throughout the county and
few of them ar.d their qualifications were
known to the averace voter. With Sen
ators and K presentatives chosen from
prescribed districts, ns provided in our
amendment, every voter, if he already is
not acquainted with the different can
didates and their qualifications for mem
bers of tue legislature, can ascertain
thoe facts easily and be prepared to vote
f' and support only the test men for
the offices to be tilled."
Opposition Will Be Made.
But the proposed amendment Is certain
to me-t with opposition from those who
maintain that the substitution of the dis
trict plan for the county plan of selecting
Jeslslators is Impolitic. By such It is
charged that, with members of the Legis
lature chosen from certain limited dis
tricts, the activities and energies of those
members naturally will be confined
largely to the particular district from
which they are elected, rather than to
the Interests of the county and state In
a general way.
The amendment provides that the dis
tricting of the state Into Senatorial and
Representative districts shall be done by
a board consisting of the Governor. Sec
retary of State and State Treasurer, on
the basis of tlie last preceding Federal
c-risns. That the representation from the
various sections of the state may bo ail
Justed equitably as the state crows, pro
vision Is made In the amendment by
which this representation shall be revised
every ten years, following the report of
the Wderal census.

Aia.-ka-Yr.kon-Pacific Exposition of
ficials have advised the Portland Rose
Festival Association that they have ln-
ninriirnted a movement to secure tho
united eforts of all the commercial
bodies ot Seattle and Western Wash
ington to bring the L.uerty Bell from
Philadelphia to the Pacific Northwest
next Summer.
The ordinance, which has already
been introduced Into tiie Common and
Select Councils of tho Quaker City, is
now in the hands of the finance com
mittee. Both the Seattle Fair people
and the Portland Festival officials have
lost no time in arousing interest In the
nroiect all along the great 7000-mile
journey the patriotic trophy would
have to make coming out here and
going back.
While both the big cities of the Pa
cific Northwest have realized tho in
estimable advertising value that will
accrue from having such an emblem
as an added attraction, the cities and
towns of the Middle West and Rocky
Mountain States have taken a keen in
terest in the project from tho fact that
it will be the first time tho bell has
ever been west of the Missouri River.
The Rose Festival Association has
any number of letters from towns
along tho Harriman lines, each of
which promises to set aside a special
holiday If the Liberty Bell Is brought
to the Coast, and these communities
are being urged to memorialize the
Philadelphia authorities to lend their
support to this, the greatest Journey
ever contemplated for tho trophy of
American Independence.
Special emphasis in all the corre
spondence that is emanating from
Festival and Alaska Fair headquarters
is laid upon tiie fact that there Is a
far vaster territory In America through
which the relic has not passed than
there Is through which It has traveled
and been received with patriotic ac

CLEARING
noticed last night. On the hills about
the city many enjoyed the unusual sport
of coasting. The email boy was In his
element, but aside from this factor of
tho population, everybody grumbled. Tho
householder looked to his fuel supply,
wrapped hlmBelf In blankets, and kept
the house. Only the most venturesome
were about yesterday. The streets wore
a noticeably deserted look. Such as did
brave the storm had many a chase after
flying hats or slipped down on the Icy
pavements.
Horses Slip on Ice In Streets.
Horses were hard put to It to get about
on the slippery streets. Only teams that
could not be spared from work were out,
most teamsters and owners of horses
keeping their animals In the barns.
Sacks were tied around the feet of horses
in many cases to keep them from slipping
down.
It Is almost Impossible to secure sup
plies of wood or other fuel from tho dif
ferent companies about tho city. In
quiries yesterday for wood from people
who have short supplies elicited the in
formation that no more orders could bo
booked, for the different firms are days
behind on deliveries and do not know'
when they can catch up.
All shipping In the river was' at a stand
still. The flying snow made the day
marks along the channel invisible. The
wind did not affect ships anchored In the
harbor, being from the northeast, but it
Is said had it been from the south It
would have swept vessels from their
moorings and done much damage.
Plumbing bills, injuries to people and
horses and Increased consumption of fuel
are the chief -expenses due to the storm.
Cars at Mercy of Storm.
The storm raised havoc with the local
trolley system. Early yesterday morn
ing, when the gale was howling at its
height, a big dynamo in the Oregon City
power station burned out. This disar
ranged the power supply for a time on
the lines fed fnam that station. The drift
ing snow covered the rails on the various
trolley lines and stalled the cars. With
snow under the wheels and the car shut
off from connection with the rails, no
circuit could be formed and the motors
would not turn.
This "poor rail" resulted In putting a
heavy load on the motors and blowing
out many fuses. Delays were incessant
on this account and because of the fact
that motormen were compelled to leave
their controllers and brush off the rails
before the cars could proceed. After a
few .cars passed, the snow would again
drift over tho rails and the process would
have to be repeated.
Teeterday was one long battle between
the streetcar operating department and
the blizzard. Snow sweepers, that are
seen on Portland streets once in a decade.
were brought out of retirement by tho
car company. There are' five of thesa
machines in the city. The brush Is turned
by the motor that runs the car and flirts
the snow high Into the air, brushing it
from the rails. Horses snorted at the
unaccustomed eicht and would have
dashed madly away had not the street
car company sent men along with the
snow brushes to hold horses standing on
the street while the snow brush passed.
Salt ,Vsed on Car Tracks.
An army of men was sent out by the
streetcar company armed- with brushes
to sweep the rail free of the snow that
Impeded the movements of the cars. They
also put salt In the clogged switches and
tills helped melt the snovs Cars were fre
quently derailed by the snow piling up
und-r the wheels. The Interurban cars
had less trouble than those operated on
the city limits, for they are powerful four
motor cars, while those Inside tho city
are two-motor cars.
An erratic service was maintained
throughout the city all day and last night.
The worst feature of the day was that
as soon as a line was cleared and cars
would get on time again snow would
drift over the rails a second time and
stall every car on the line. This hap
pened again and again. Even after the
snow stopped falling yesterday, the wind
drifted snow over the rails in many
places.
The Sellwood line of the O. W. P. di
vision was out of commission for three
hours yesterday. The Mississippi ave
nue line was stalled early In the after
noon and a force of men was sent out to

rescue the blockaded cars. This was
finally accomplished. The Union ave
nue and Williams avenue lines were
blocked late yesterday afternoon and as
soon as they were started going they
would be blocked again. Unfortunately
this blockade occurred during the rush
hour at night. Many had to walk home,
but suburbanites were in training for Just
such an event, for many had to walk to
stores and offices yesterday morning from
home on account of the cars being out
of commission.
Tree Knocks Down Wires.
The Oregon Electric Railway schedule
was Interfered with yesterday morning
by reason of the power supply being cut
off when the generator at the Oregon
City plant of the Portland Railway. Light
& Power Company was put out or com
mission. The trouble on the main line
was over, however, by 10 o'clock In the
morning, after which hourly trains were
run without interruption.
On the Forest Grove line of the Oregon
Electric a tree was blown across the
transmission wires about 10 A. M. and
trains were stalled for several hours.
By 3:15 in the afternoon the trouble had
been remedied, and after that time
trains were operated without further in
terruption.
Telephone and telegraph companies ex
perienced little, if any, difficulty. Cen
tral girls were unusually busy, however,
for instead of calling personally on friends
or business acquaintances, everybody who
could do so used the telephone.
Prominent city stores allowed employes
living In the suburbs to leave at 4 P. M.
In order to reach their homes safely last
night.
Mild la Southern Oregon.
Strange as It may seem. Southern Ore
gon was enjoying a heavy fall of rain
yesterday. Southern Pacific trains were
delayed in that part of the state by soft
tracks. The storm covered the whole
Northwest, however, with the -exception
of that favored section, and was most se
vere In Montana and Alberta, where the
thermometer reached 36 degrees below
zero. The mercury stood at 10 degrees
below as far east as St. Paul. In ISorth
and South Dakota It was 20 and 25 do
grees below zero yesterday. At Boise
yesterday the thermometer stood at 3!
degrees above zero.
Snow fell yesterday along tho Colum
bia River from Pasco to the mouth of
the river. However, there was but Httle
delay to railroad trains on that account.
Near Cascade lcks a tree was blown
across the O. R. & N. tracks, delaying
train No. 5 for some time. JTrains 3 and
4 on the Washington division of tho O.
R. & N. were an hour late yesterday. It
was lntensoly cold throughout Eastern
Oregon and Eastern Washington yester
day, the thermometer standing at zero
at Condon. 4 below at Heppner. 10 above
at Umatilla, 8 above at Pendleton, with
freezing weather from La Grande to
Huntington. At Spokane and Wallace
the thermometer stood at zero yesterday
morning; at Walla Walla it was slightly
above, and at Pomeroy 10 degrees above
zero. At Tekoa it was 2 degrees above
zero.
O. R. & X. Train 9 Delayed.
. Between Umatilla and Riparia yester
day there were high winds and sand was
blowing fiercely. Trains 3 and 4 on the
Washington division of the O. R. & N.
were delayed by the sand storms, which
prevailed along the Snake River. The
only trouble along the O. R. & N., how
ever, of consequence, was the severing
of telegraphic communication because of
poles being blown down. Trains on the
O. R. & N. last night were delayed
slightly because of weather conditions,
but there were no serious obstructions
to traffic. x
To old residents, the storm called up
recollections of January 1889, whentno
Willamette River was frozen across at
Portland and an ice skating rink was
lined off directly under the Morrison
street bridge. Horses pulled heavy loads
across the river on the ice. The cold
spell continued for three weks. Again
In December. 1898. January and Febru
ary. 1S99. the Columbia River was frozen
over at Vancouver, the sheet of Ice ex
tending to the mouth of the Willamette
to the west and to the vicinity of the
Cascades- on the east. Three times In
tho Winter this ice sheet formed.
AGREE Ofl ONE YEAR
City and Lighting Company
May Soon Sign Contract.
BACK PAY IS DEMANDED
If Executive Board Decides at Meet
ing This Morning to Pay TJp
Amount Deducted, Short-Term
, Agreement Is Probable.
City Attorney Kavanaugh spent yester
day in an endeavor to effect an arrange
ment whereby the city authorities and
President Josselyn, of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company, can enter
into a short-term contract for the pub
lic lighting. Mayor Lane and Thomas G.
Greene, chairman of the lighting com
mittee of the Executive Board, expressed
a willingness to Blgn up a contract for
one year at present rates, and Mr. Josse
lyn Is agreeable, if bills that have been
contracted are paid.
President Josselyn, speaking . for the
lighting company, said that he Is willing
to Blgn up a contract with the city at
present rates, running until April 1, 1909,
no new lamps to be Installed, for the pur
pose of giving the Executive Board time
to readvertfse for bids, according to the
city charter; the company would sub
mit a formal old, making the same rates,
running to April 1, 1910, no new lamps to
tie put In. This action would be based
upon the payment of all arrearages
claimed by the company as due from the
city.
Mr. Kavanaugh recently submitted to
tho lighting committee of the City Coun
cil an opinion in which he held that the
city cannot refuse to pay for the full
contract sum, but Mr. Greene Is said to
hold an opposite opinion, and It remains
to be seen what action will be taken In
this regard. The Executive Board will
meet In special session to discuss the
matter at 9:30 o'clock this morning, and
a full detailed report and recommenda
tion are to be submitted by Mr. Greene,
The only thing now standing in tho
way of speedy adjustment Is the old bill
feature. The Executive Board has re
fused to pay the bills as presented by
the company for the last eight months,
and there - is now in controversy $19,000.
This is the sum demanded by the com
pany and stipulated by Mr. Josselyn as
a part of his- offer In entering into a
short-term contract with the city. If
this can be adjusted In some manner the
way Is clear to the signing up of such
a contract, which would settle the mat
ter temporarily.

PRAISE FOR OREGON GRAPE
Beautiful Plirub Attracts Attention

Perhaps no gift sent to Eastern friends
at Christmas time by Oregon people is
more deeply appreciated than Oregon
grape, that Is becoming more and more
a favorite holiday decoration. Manager
Tom Richardson, of the Commercial
Club, was in receipt of a "warm letter
of thanks yesterday from Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn. Dr. Newell Dwight

graphed his thanks when the foliage of
Oregon's state flower reached him, but
the letter followed and arrived only yes
terday. It said:

Gentlemen : Lr. H illis presented the flower

I wish to thank you most heartily, and to
express our appreciation to the Portland

I think we have never had a more beauti
ful Christmas display on any Christinas Sun

greens and tine shaded reds, mixed with our
beautiful red HowerH. made a beautiful sight.
The bunch of holly Dr. Hillis spoke of to
his audience, as also of the grape, and
many people came to tho pulpit after the
service to eee its beauty more closely. We
also used it again last evening for our
Plymouth men's annual dinner.
