Coffey of Multnomah. Hart of Esker and Bingham of Lane nathered In the bet mmmlttee chairmanships when President Bowrrmin made the distribution In the 8nate thla mornlnir. Kay of Marion was the lucklret of the lot. for he not only secured the chairmanship of resolutions, which Is one of the most Influential com mittees:, but also of enrolled bills, which has a considerable clerkship patronage, owing- tn the fact that this committee must copy all the Senate bills after they have been passed. Nottingham secured the chairmanship nerally most desired, that of ways and means. Hart has the Judiciary commit tee, the one most sought after by the lawyers, and the one which usually wields the most power In the disposition of bills. It Is the Judiciary committee that puts most of the bill to sleep by the indefi nite postponement method. Bingham lias the chain. lanshlp on assessment and tax ation, always an Important committee, re quiring considerable work. Smith of Ma rion has two chairmanships, banking and medicine, as also has Beach, who Is chair man of Industries and of penal Insti tutions, the former a very good commit tee. Parrlsh has two chairmanships, mining aiid county and state offices. The appointments are as follows: Senate Standing Committees. Agricultural and Forestry Flnnott.

Reports re ceived by the Weather Bureau today show that the rivers in the northern part of the state are falling at all points ex cept Rto Vista, where a rise of one foot and seven-tenths has been recorded since last night. No danger la apprehended at any place above this, but the water now Is bulking around the Islands in the San Joaquin, where it has reached an alarmingly high stage. The levees on the San Joaquin County side are holding well and appar ently will resist the strain successfully, but the situation on the Sacramento shore is considered critical. Hope is found In the fact that not much additional water Is likely to come down from the moun tains, most of the melted snow having run off already. Railroad conditions show considerable Improvement and delayed trains are being hastened to their destinations. CHARTER CASE DECISION Supreme Court Kales Leglslators May Amend Certain Ordinances. SALEM, Or., Jan. 19. (Special.) In the case of George Long et al vs. the City of Portland, A. L. Barbour, Harry Lane, et al, the Supretae Court today rendered an opinion in which It Is held that "the power of the referendum Is fully reserved to the people and is not dependent upon anything, except a provision "by general law as to the manner of Its exercise." In this case the question at issue was whether a Legislative act of 1907 was a violation of the constitution, forbidding any amendment of a city charter by legis lative enactment. Continuing, the opinion says: "But this Legislative act can only apply to sucn oraumi, resolutions and franchises as are sub ject to the referendum. It cannot be broader than the provision it seeks to aid.-' Other decisions were nanded down today as follows: State vs. Elsen; C. King. Reversed. State vs. Dunn; C. King. Reversed snd new trial ordered. Beard vs. Royal Neighbors of America. C. Slater. Reversed and now trial ordered. Tamhlll County vs. Koster; J. Bean. Re; versed. . Mcintosh vs. McNalr; J. Bean.
