No Chance to I so Water. The mill waa supplied wIUi a water avatem. but there- waa no opportunity to uw It. sa tha fire put it out of com mission before the hoeo could be at tached. There were several tank, but they were too far from the plaat to be available and tha heat waa so Intense that It wa utterly Impossible to ap proach near enough to use the noaale. even bad tha water sjstem been avail able. The mill waa not supplied with a eprlakler system, but It 1 doubtful 'f cn would have saved tha property un der the conditions that prevailed today, a gala fanning the flamea Into a mother ing cauldron of aVstructlnn. POLITICS IN WEST VETOES (Ceeuaaed "rom First r lite!y prohibited and would have pre sented any kind of a deficiency except such a wa authorised by law. and an other bi:i which provided tuat If a real emergency arose for any causa which required an expenditure over the amount authorized, then a board created by the M'ood bill, consisting of tha Oovernor. Fecretary of State. State Treasurer. President of the Senate and Fpeker of the House. tvt chairman of each of tbe wav and means committee or any five cf them could authorise a deficiency suf ficient to cover the cost of necessary good. labor and the like. Thee bill were both vetoed on the plea that "this administration Isn't going to have defi ciencies." The history of all administra tions. Including that of Governor Cham berdaln. la that deficiencies have oc curred which runs Into the tens of thou sands of dollars. Tha press reports la certain papers which ara very friendly to the present administration said that the Governor wa being assisted In the consideration vf the legislative acts by several promi nent members of tha bar. Helpers Corporation Men. It has now developed that two of these B-.ember of tha bar ara regularly em ployed attorneys for certain railroada and other corporation Tbl fact lend special Interest to the veto of several bills, especially Senate bill No. . by Burdens, to require local agents to report the time of pasaenger train; Senate bill 10. by Albee. to require rail roads to publish their time tables: Son ata Mil by Calkins, changing tha law as to manner of service of summon on corporations and Senate BUI ST. by Calkin, changing the law as to tha place of bringing a suit against a cor poration. Railroad Vexation I'phcld. Cnnr tha present law and notwith standing the sealous effort of our past arui present Railroad Commission. It la Impossible to get any accurate Informa tion aa to when a train on any railroad will arrival This la particularly true at rndletoa. the horn of Burse, where It Befpena with great regularity that the trains ara late. They ara at first re ported on time and then marked up an hour, then two hours aad so on through ut a long, dreary night. Many thou sand travelers during the year sit op. expecting every hour to be the last until Ma train arrive, and the agent deceive fern by hi untruthful buLelina. Tha Hurtresa bill won Id have terminated 'Ms trexatlou 'condition and made tt roeaible for the traveler to know with jome degree of accuracy when ha would be able to take a train, and he could than spend the Intervening time In slum ber or some other pastime, but the Gov irfiftr, out of consideration for the poor station agent (not the company, of course), placed Me mark of disapproval en this law. The traveling public can therefore for two years continue to wait for trains, coollnr their heels In foul smelling walMng-rooma and watching the bulletin aa they ara changed from time to time. Shippers Plead In Vain. Tha Albee bill made It the duty of tbe common-carrier corporations to advise tne publ'e by advertisement of the schedule time for the arrival and depart ure of trains from stations In towns where newspapers are published. The Calkins bill, had the liovvrnor and hl corporate adviser but consented, would have done ranch to relieve a most dls-.ressin and unfair provision of the present law. As the law new stands. If a, farmer ship freight from hla borne rlnt to Portland, for ninmraUon. and th aUseat is Injured a rou'-e. ha must either accept the company's terms of settlement or go from his bome to Port land, the head office or domicile of the company, or else go to the county where the damage occurred U bring suit. This frequently works a great hardship on the shipper and enables the company to drive a bargain to Ita ad vantage In the way of a settlement. The Oovernor vetoed these b'lls snd In dolr.a so wrote a message In which he advised the legislature that the present law was to his liking and that he would not consent to this change. I'nju-t Bill Indorsed. For about a quarter of a century tha title to certain lands In Lake County has been In lltlicatlon. In Oovernor Chamberlain' laat term he brought suit on behalf of the state to recover the title to about IJ.OOO acres or this land, which had been acquired at a' nominal price of f 1 an acre. The case wa decided recently In favor of the tat by the Suprano Court. This land wa all claimed by the Warner Valley Stock Company, tha Incorporated suc cessor of the original operators. Karly In. tha session the representa tives of this company endeavored to have a bill Introduced to circumvent the victory the state had Just won and convey this land to the company, ex cept about 6000 acrea claimed by cer tain settlers. But they failed until they secured the co-operation of the Governor, who secured the Indorsement of the State Land Board. Then at the request of the Board and of tha Governor personally. Representative Thompson Introduced a bill expressly approved by the Governor which would have given the settlers their land, tha state would have kept about 1500 acres of good land and 2700 acres of over flowed alkali land of little value, and the company would have secured a perfect title to about 1S.000 acre of hrst-ciajs land. The bill wa strongly urged by the Governor In person be fore the Judiciary committee of the Senate with the result that three mem bers of the committee reported In favor of tt and four reported against It. Senate Sees Tnfalrness. When the bill cam up in the Sen ate, the Injustice to the state was ao apparent that Its defeat became as sured. In the debate the Governor's sttltude wa fully disclosed. Finally Senator Mcculloch, personal represen tative of the Governor In the Senate. Interrupted the debate and asked that the bill be Indefinitely postponed. There Is a large area of land in Lake. Harney and Klamath counties owned In small holdlnsa which waa acquired un der the swamp-land act. Tbe decision of the Supreme Court In the Warner Valley Company cose tended to cast a cloud over the title of these small hold ers and settler, although the state has never ouht to set their deeds sslde. The claim of the small holders was presented to Representative Thompson, who prepared a bill and submitted It to the Governor and Board. It waa careful ly considered by them and amended to meet their inulrements. and then In troduced by Thompson. The Board also approved the bill before the Senate com mittee. Ultimately this bill paased and waa presented to the Governor. - This bill, unlike the one the Oovernor pre sented, takes nothing from the state. It merely sought to confirm titles which were not acquired by fraud, but In good faith and now held by bona fide pur chaser. The Governor's bill, on tbe con trary. would have doubtlosa operated to take from the state land, which Is said to be worth today more than JS00.000 and which, with the advent of railroada. will more than double In value. Not withstanding the former attitude of the Governor In favoring this bill In tha Interests of the settlers, ha vetoed It. BUI Favored, Then Vetoed. Representative Thompson haj another bill which had been presented likewise to III Kxceliency before It Introduc tion and which wa amended to meet l is every objortlon. Thl bill wa there after vetoed. It wa a bill which pro vided a method for draining the lakes la Southwestern Oregon under the di rection of the State Land Board, of which tha Oovernor la a member. The Board wa authorised to allow persons Intending to embark In the Reclamation Service to examine the lakes. They were required to prepare at their own expense all survey and map. Tbe Board waa given full authority to make or refuse a contract, to fix Its own price and make Ita own rules and regu lations. The proceeds would have gone to the state school fund. Had this bill met with the same Executive favor after It passes as It evoked early In the session, many thousand acre of worthlesa land would have been made tillable and become Inhabited, while many hundred thousand dollar would have been added to the fund which con tributes to the education of the school children. Tlireat Against Tltoiupson Kept. Notwithstanding the fact that Thompson waa admittedly the strong est man In the House and Introduced a great many bills which" would have proved wise and beneficial, the (Jo v. ernor made good tha threat alleged so often In the lobby and attributed to Mm. that Thompson wouldn't get a bill through, for the only bill sponsored alone by Thompson which waa allowed o become a law was one creatine- the office of deputy sheriff In Lake County. The people of Lake desired more erms of court and also to defray the ddltlonal cost to their Judge. Tha County Court of both countlr wrote letters recommending an Increase. Tha bill waa passed and vetoed. The Lake County taxpayers will continue to have heir Judicial business transacted on he semi-annual plan to satisfy the pleen of a Chief Executive toward a man too large to be handled by prom ise and too fearless to be bluffed. Economy- Needs Scrutiny. The great plea for economy which ome from the Gubernatorial Quarters will likewise bear a more close Inspec tion than has been accorded It- lis etoed the bill which proposed to place II the circuit Judge on an equal sal ary. The JuJi In Multnomah County ach receive 14000. likewise tha Judge In the Ninth IHstrlct and one of the udges la the Fifth District, while his associate. Judge Eakln. and all of the other Judge receive tiooe. The Legis lature derided that the Judge over the tat.-and particularly those who have long distance to travel at their per onal expense, should have the same salary: but this bill was also vetoed. It should be remembered that at the request ot the executive $S0 waa add ed to the salary of hla stenographer. A far back a Governor Lord' time. and each succeeding Governor, through the term of Chamberlain and Benson, the pay of stenographers baa been tbe same. Clerk Get More Than Judges. When the fact la taken Into con sideration that tha chief bookkeeper In Treasurer Kay'a office I paid 13000. the chief clerk la the Secretary of State'a office I .M00. the Railroad Com missioners 11000 each, and many others In 11k proportion, and that all traveling expenses are paid. It appeared to many members of the Legislature that the Judgea who would be called upon to ait In Judgment upon the of ficial or personal actons of these men might with propriety be paid a salary more In keeping with their office. Governor Chamberlain vetoed the salary bills. West, except aa to tha Circuit Judges, allowed all salary bills to go through. Other Governors have used tbe veto power aa the strong right arm of tha people for their own protection, while Oovernor Weet used this power aa an Instrument of vengeance toward those whom ha could not control DYNAMITE KILLS FOUR; MAIMS SIX Premature Explosion Near The Dalles Costs Lives of Laborers.

General debility ui generally due to fen pare blood. It causes are worry, overwork, failure of tbe body to retrain its health alter a severe eickneas, lack of nourishment from a disordered di gestion, or sotpe drain upon the eystem, all of which result in thinning the blood, preventing: it from carrying health and nourishment to tho tissues: of the body.. There is no more perplexing trocble than debility cases in which there is no cute disease but in which the patient ginks lower and lower despite changes of medicine and similar experiments. That Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills will re store health under these conditions is no speculation but the fact has been proved in hundreds of cases similar to that of Mrs. E. B. Bailey, of So. 819 South Hudson street, Oklahoma City, Okla. She says: "Several months ajjo I was in a gen eral run-down condition as the result of a severe fall. The muscles of my back geemed to be weak and there were dull pains through them. I bad severe head aches and was very nervous. I kept losing flesh and was unable to get any refreshing sleep. Although I was up and about the house, 1 was notable to do much work. "The doctors advieed the use of lini ments but these gave me only tempor ary relief. As I failed to jret strong under their treatment, I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I could see benefit in a short time and used the pills until cured. I have been well and Lave had no trouble with my back since, so Dr. Williams' Pink Pills must surely have cured me." Dr. Williams Pink Pills are guaran teed to be safe and harmless to the most delicate constitution. They do sot act on the bowels but they actually make new blood and strengthen the nerves. If you want good health you must have good blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druKirfsw. or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 60 cents perhox; fix boxes for $2.60, by the Dr. Wil liams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
