J. R. Burke Thinks Only Such Mat
ters Brought Up by Investi
gators Should Be Considered.
"I am in favor of making the session
a short one," said Representative J. R.
Burke, of Wahkiakum County at the Im
perial (Hotel, yesterday in commenting
on Governor Hay's proclamation calling
the Washington Legislature into special
session June 33.
"What I would like to see would be a
movement to restrict all business to those
matters crought out by the investigating
committee. If other matters are con
sidered the session is likely to be pro
longed and cost the state $50,000 or $75,000,
and besides create Intense bitterness.
Mr. Burke was one of the House lead
ers in the last session of the Washington
Legislature. He was aligned with . the
more liberal of the House members on
local option and similar measures. On
organization of the House' Mr. Burke
says he would not be surprised If a
fight developed on Speaker L. O. Meigs,
of North Yakima.
"It is too early to form a definite
opinion on that point." said Mr. Burke
yesterday, "but it may require two or
three days to settle the House organiza
tion. "Present indications, to my mind, point
tin JL HtremimiM APflKinn nnlaea ttia mtv-lr a
I the" Legislature is limited by agreement
to the one Issue and even that Issue is
likely to cause trouble.
"I am not anxious for any fish legisla
tion In the special session," he said. "I
prefer to have the laws remain as they
are. The outlook for & successful sea
son on the Columbia Is very encourag
ing The canneries now have a bigger
pack up than at equivalent dates in any
preceding year for several seasons. This
has been accomplished in spite of the
loss of two weeks' flehlng in the Spring.
The iflsh have been plentiful and of good
eize and quality.
"We are now much interested in the
high water on the river. The freshets
have put a stop to fishing temporarily
and we can do nothing until the water
recedes.
TO SELL CHURCH SOUVENIR
Ladles' - Aid Society of Sunnyslde
Church Plans Campaign.
The Ladies' Aid Society of the Meth
odist Church of Sunnyslde has ar
ranged one of the most unique and up-to-date
affairs yet. The society made
a request of the City Council some
weeks ago for the purpose of having
one day during the Rose Festival in
which to sell to Portland visitors from
all over the state a beautiful souvenir
of the handsome stone churoh which
the congregation is erecting at the cor
ner of Yamhill and Thirty-fifth streets.
The request was granted and now the
women are all astir making the final
arrangements. They have Invited into
the . work and to share the proceeds
all the aid societies in their own de
nomination In the city.- Some have
responded.
The representation of the new church
is quite a unique affair and will cer
tainly be purchased for the small sum
of 10 cents and will go to all parts
of the state, showing the progressive
Bplrlt of Portland and of Sunnyslde,
as this new church will be one of the
handsomest in the city. The style is
pure Tudor Gothic and there will be a
fine pipe organ for which the . ladles
are working, and also a very fine me
morial window, to be installed by the
combined G. A. R. societies of the
city and state. This will be one of the
finest ever placed in any church.
The basement of the new church
Is being completed, and soon will be
ready for the superstructure and stons
work.
