bill and Its objects.
Farrett of Washington. Barrett o
Vmatllla. Nottingham of Multnomah
and I'lmlck of Clackamas were
lined up against the commission plan

IMmtck's and Barrett's assertions. Not

"When a new commission la created.
he declared, "very soon members and
officers get tired ard cry for more dep
uties and assistants. This Is true In
every department of the state, and con
sequently we are continually being
more and more overloaded with a horde
of chairwarmers."
Opposition to the bill on the voting

strength of eight votes, this varying at
times, no rollcall be'ng taken In com

CAXXERYMEX OPPOSE FISHERS
Former Want Xo Joint Commission
With Washington.
STATE CAPITOU Salem. Or.. Jan. t
(Special.) Cannerymen and up-river
men clinched with fishermen of the
Iower Columbia tonight before the
Senate resolutions committee when the
time-worn, question of a Joint commis
sion with the Washington Legislature
to collaborate on the fishing laws of
the Colombia was under discussion. Up
river and cannerymen were strong in
their opposition to such a commission,
declaring that the laws as enacted by
the two sessions In 10 have proven
eminently satisfactory to all concerned
and have brought nearer to solution the
fishing- problems than any laws enacted
prior to that time.
On the other hand the fishermen were
keen to secure a reconsideration and
to open anew the question In Its en
tlrety.
Cannerymen were represented by
Prank Seufert. F. M. Warren. F. M.
barren. Jr, and Joseph Burke. Ole J.
Settem and II. M. Lorntxen were the
Astoria fishermen present. The resolu
tions committee reached no conclusion
upon the resolution calling for a call
to confer with a similar committee from
the Washington Legislature.
The resolutions committee also de
cided to report favorably on the Joint
memorial of Burgess, asking Conrrers
to re-enact the law which provides
that SO per cent of the receipts from
National forests shall be returned to
the state from which such receipts are
cerivea.

STATE CAPITOU Salem. Or.. Jan. 24.
(Special.) Rumblings of an approach
ing tempest were heard In the House
th's morning when the bill of Repre
sentative Johnson, of Marlon, providing
for another stato building at Salem,
came back from the committee on cap
ital buildings and grounds. After con
siderable discussion the bill, which car
ries an appropriation of $130,000. was re
ferred to the committee on ways in'
means.
In the discussion it developed that
Senator Bowennan's friends In the
House Intend to bar Governor West and
State Treasurer Kay in their opposition
to certain measures of legislation In
which jjowerman s friends are Inter
ested. Today's skirmish In the House
evidently was only a sequel to the In
sane asylum wrangle, which occupied so
mucn or tho time of the Senate last
week.
West's Land Involved.
The committee. In reporting John
son's bill, was dlv'ded. Johnson, as
chairman of tho committee, submitted
a majority report favoring the passage
of the bill. Huntington filed a minor
ity report against the measure and
started the fireworks when he moved
the substitution of the minority for the
majority report.
Johnson endeavored to head off any
discussion by requesting that the bill
be referred to the ways and means com
mittee, but Huntington insisted on a
consideration of his motion.
"Just because the Governor and some
other parties have some land on a block
adjoining the Statehouse grounds which
they wish to sell to the state Is not
necessarily a reason why the state
should be in any great haste to buy
thla land,' said Huntington.
Governor Doesn't Fix Price.
Replying. Johnson admitted that Gov
ernor West owns a one-fourth Interest
In one block of land which was one of
the tracts of land being considered as
a site for the proposed new building.
"The Governor, however. Is not anx
ious to sell, but has Informed the com
mittee that he will not place a price
on the property, leaving that to be done
by the State Board," said Johnson.
This brought Thompson, of Lake, to
his feet.
"Before any further buildings and ap
propriations are provided for Salem,"
he said. "I would like to see some of
the promises made by Salem carried
out. For instance, two years ago we
were promised a pure supply of water
for the Capital City. At any rate, be
fore the State Board appraises this par
ticular block of land or any other land
to be purchased by the state, I would
like to see a third member on tk board.
Bowerman's Friends light.
"A bill has been Introduced In the
Senate providing for a Deputy Secretary
of State to serve as a member of the
State Board during the absence of the
Secretary of State. This bill had no
sooner been Introduced tn the Senate,
when the two present and active mem
bers of the board began vigorously to
fight it."
A vote being taken. Huntington's mo
tion for a substitution of the reports
prevailed by a strong vote. On motion
of Thompstm the bill was then sent to
the ways and means committee for fur
ther consideration and report.
The purpose for which the bill was In
troduced in the House by Dr. Smith, of
Josephine, Is the acquisition of suffi
cient ground for a building of suffi
cient sire to accommodate the state
library. Supreme Court, Railroad Com
mission, Attorney-General and Library
Commission. Among the sites available
Is the half block just east of the Cap
itol grounds.
Governor w est owns one-quarter of
the full block, or one-half of the prop
erty being considered by the state as a
purchase. Dr. Fletcher I'oman, presi
dent of Willamette X'nlversity, owns a
part of the other quarter.
Today's development Is accepted as
conclusive proof that Bowerman sup
porters are not without a good fighting
organisation in the House. In this way
they expect to be able to secure favor
able consideration .In the Senate of such
bills as they are Interested In. This
can be forced by holding up legislation
in the House until the Senate has acted
on desired measures.
It Is disclaimed by Thompson and his
associates in the House that they ex
pect at any time to Impede any legis
lation. THEFT OF BILL DENIED
JOIIX C. M'CVE ASKS APOLOGY
FltOM SIR. SKLLIXG.
DYSPEPSTA-PROOF.
How Any Meal Caa Be Thoroughly En
joyed by Any Stomach.
Costs You Nothing; to Try Stoarfa Dys
pepsia Tablets.
. Men. as a rule, are first discovered
by their enemies. Their antagonists
turn on the searchlight, and the proof
of merit will lie in being able to stard
the flash.
It was only in this way that Mr.
White ever knew that dyspepsia was
one of Mr. Black's worst enemies. Sit
ting face to face at a two-by-four
table, he handed his afflicted friend the
bill of fare:
Oyster Cocktail. Stuffed Olives.
Boston Clam Chowder.
Strained Gumbo.
Sirloin Steak with Mushrooms.
Roast Beef Hash.
Boiled Ox Tongue with Sauerkraut,
Lobster a la Newberg.
, Baked Pork and Beans.
Combination Crab Salad.
Hot Mince Pie.
Pines pple Fritters.
Mr. White ordered a "little of each."
Mr. Dyspepsia Black ordered crackers
and a glass of milk. "I bad such a
big breakfast this morning." he sal J,
"that I'll Just take a bite to keep you
company." But Mr. White could not
be deceived: "I am afraid you can't
stand the gleam, Mr. Black. Why don't
you say you have dyspepsia and be
done with It? You'll always have that
hungry look anyhow as long as you
have dyspepsia. Now listen. My stom
ach was In Just as bad condition as
yours at one time. But now I can eat
anything, at any tlmo. For Instance,
this clam chowder or sirloin steak or
even the lobster would be Just as wel
come to my stomach as your crackers
and milk. Tou don't realize how this
dyspepsia business Is robbing you of
your spirit, of your energy and ability
to think quickly. I can't help notice
It. You haven't the cheer and socia
bility you had three months ago. Now
I'll tell you what' to do." snd thereat
the cheerful Mr. White took a vial from
his pocket and extracted a wee tablet,
"There, there is a tablet that contains
an Ingredient, one grain of which di
gests 3000 grains of food. For even
the worst dyspeptic it's tho only. thing
that really gives relief. The reason is
It relieves the stomach of nearly all
the work It has to do, digests every
thing In the stomach and stimulates
the gastric juice. I can't get along
without them. They aro Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets. You can get them any
where on earth for 50c a package."
Yes, It is true, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets absolutely stop heartburn, nau
sea, indigestion, dyspepsia of the worst
type, sour stomach, bloaty feeling and
all erucatlons and irritation, and
freshen and invigorate tho stomach.
They cheer you up. and make you get
all the good there is In your food. You
will forget you ever had a stomaca to
worry you.
Send us your name and address to
day and we will at once send you by
mall a sample package, free. Address

Records Show That Sailor Boarding
House Measure Was Indefi
nitely Postponed.
John C McCue. of Portland, formerly
a member of the Legislature from Clat
sop County, laet night made a vigorous
denial to the charge made by Senator
Selling that he had stolen the sailor
boarding-house bill in the House two
years ago. Mr. McCue produced the of
ficial calendar of the House showing that
the bill had been lndefintely postponed
by the House on February 20. 1909. the
last day of the session. Mr. McCue
therefore consider an apology is due
from Senator Selling and last night
wrote hlra the following letter:
January 24. 1011.
Hon Ben Selling. President of tha Senate.
8alm, Or.
8ir: My attention has been called to- an
article that -appeared In thla mornlng'a Ore
gonlan under a Salem date Una. in which
It is made to appear that at a meeting of
the Joint committee on commerce and navi
gation held on the 23d day of January,
rommenlng upon the "sailor boardlng-houee
bill" that Is at present before the session,
that you used the following language. In
reference to the aallor boardlng-hoiiae bill,
-Senate bill No. 247, as Introduced by your
self In tha srsslon of 1009: (I quote from
The Oregonlan).
The same bill passed In the Senate dur
ing the lost cessslon, declared Selling, and
went into the Houae. There it waa stolen,
taken, or by any term you might wiah to
call it. by John McCue, then Kepresentattva
from Clatsop, and waa kept by him in hla
pocket until tha last night of tha session.
at midnight. At that tlma he pulled It
from his pocket, waved It in the air and
asked, 'What are you going to do about
it ? "
I am at an utter loss to understand how
you can correctly be quoted aa making any
such statement and, I take it, assuming
that you were correctly quoted, that you
ara either absolutely ignorant of the facts
relative to your bill of last session or else
you are deliberately, wilfully and maliciously
stating something which you should know
and probably do know to be untrue. If
you have made the statement that Is at
tributed to you. Inadvisedly, and in the
heat of argument before the committee, 1
believe that I have a right to Insist that
before you comment upon my action In the
former aesslon. you at least advise your
self as to tne true facts In relation thereto.
and if you have not taken the pains to
know what the facts are in connection with
Senate BUI 9(7 of last session, I now beg to
refer you to the records of the session of
1&09. aa contained in the Senate and House
Journals and Calendars of that year. If
you will take the pains to refer to the
benate calendar of 1900 under the beading
of "senate Bills." on page 2.3 thereof, you
will rind mat senate BUI 247, introduced
by Senator Selling by request, a "Bill for
an Act to Ucense Bailor Boarding Houses
at Points on the Columbia and Willamette
Rivers." waa passed br the Senate on Feb
ruary 12.' 1009, and If you wilt then refer
to the House Calendar for the session of
1909. on page 115 thereof, under tha head
Ing "Senate' Bills In the House." you will
find that Senate BUI 247. the aald bill last
referred to and which passed the Senate
February 12, 1009. waa read tha first and
second times In the House on the 12th day
of February. u09, and upon the second
reading was referred to the committee on
revision of laws on the 12th day of Feb
ruary, 1909, and that on the 20th day of
February of that year, the bill was re
ported back from the Committee on Revi
sion of Laws, of which committee I was
chairman, and upon which committee there
were four other members besides myself,
with the recommendation that the bill be
not paased. after the bill had been conald
ered by said committee, and It was my
duty, as chairman of that committee, when
a bill had been reported adversely by the
committee, to move on behalf of the com
mittee that tha bill be Indefinitely post
poned. and the matter being presented to
tha House, on motion the bill was indefi
nitely postponed.
you must know, from your experience tn
the Legislature, that It la within the prov
ince of the committee to report for or
agalnat any bill, and that it la the duty
of tha chairman to report the action of
the committee to the House. This the
records of the legislative aeaslon of 1909
chows was dona In connection with this bill,
m-hlch you so generously accuse me of steal-
lng. and you must also Know from your
experience In the Legislature tha when a
reDort la made upon a bill, that the bill.
together with tha report of the committee.
Is sent to the chief clerk of the House,
and a receipt given for same, and that the
bill, after the report la made, at no time
is returned to the chairman of the com
mittee, or any member of that committee,
and that the bill Is then the property of
tha House for revocation or approval, and
for you to state, broadcaet. aa you have
done in this caae. that I had tbe bill In
my possession at midnight when you ex
amined the recorda in connection with this
matter, you must know to be an absolute
misstatement of the facts, or else I am
forced to believe an absolute misstatement
and falsehood upon your part. From my
acquaintance with you in the past. I am
reluctant to believe that the last statement
Is the fact.
In view of the above facts. I am at a
loss to account for the statement attrib
uted ta you In this morning's Oregonlan. I
and I take It that If you find in making I
auch statement, should you nave maae tne
same, and have been correctly quoted, that
it is untrue, you will take the necessary
steps aa a responsible clttzen of this county,
to place yourself in the right light before
tho public. Very respectfully- yours.

Deputy Coroner Dane stopped at
Taylor on his way to Bridal Veil and
proceeded on his journey after taking

The Japanese, say his countrymen, had
gone for water to a tank across the

coming, walked out on the right-of-way.
