FORMER EMPLOYES
HONOR R. L. STEVENS
Ex-Sheriff Guest at Banquet,
and Conduct of Office
Receives Praise.
$30,000,000 IS HANDLED
Administration Is CTosed With All
Accounts Exactly Balanced In
Criminal Department Won
derfnl Record Shown.
Robert L. Stevens, who retired from
the position of Sheriff on January 6,
after six and a half years of public
service, was the guest .of honor at -a
banquet tendered by his former em
ployes in the blue room, Multnomah
Hotel, Saturday night. Under the toast
mastership of Penumbra .Kelly, once
Sheriff, many speakers . paid their re
spects to the ex-offlcial, who, in return,
attributed the success Qf his adminis
tration to the caliber of the men' whom
. he had selected as deputies,
i While the remarks of the deputies
touching upon their chief were., of
course, laudatory, they expressed the
genuine sentiment of "the . boys," as
Sheriff Stevens called his deputies, for
the reason, as Toastmaster Kelly ex
pressed it, that "Bob has always been
a friend and brother to all of us."
In reciprocation, the former Sheriff, de
clared that to him had been given the
credit accruing from the faithfulness
and capability of his men.
IVrlRht Offers Praise.
The sentiment of the gathering is
best expressed in the words of K. W.
Wright, long a close friend of the
jguest, who, after referring to the fa
mous oration of Marc Antony ver the
body of Julius Caesar, declared, "but
I come not to bury Stevens, but to
praise him and, while-the oration of
which -I have just spoken is the most
famous tribute .of which literature
boasts, still I could repeat it all in
reference to Robert L. Stevens without
in the least outraging my sense of pro
portion." Mr. Wright recalled that a
friend of his had once spoken of Mr.
Stevens as "a true Christian, who
doesn't , know it."
"I didn't fill the office with
politicians." said ex-Sheriffi Stevens.
"Every man employed was picked be
cause of his merit. The only credit
due me Is that I had the sense to pick
Kood men. During the last six years
the deputies in the tax department
handled more than t3u. 000.000, yet I
am informed by the Auditor, Mr. Mar
tin, that their accounts checked out
to a cent.
Work Correctly Performedi
"I have never found a man who made
a valid complaint against this depart
ment. In the business department pa
pers have always been served correctly
-and there have been no 'hollers' from
attorneys. In the criminal department
we have handled more than 7000 pris
oners and 2000 insane persons, and the
hoys never lost a prisoner they didn't
get back. I will put that against any
record In the United States. The records
show that SO per cent of our cases have
been cleaned up. Officials at Washing
ton, D. C, inform me that 50 per cent
is. considered excellent."
Other speakers . were M. J. Roche,
Justice of the. Peace Jones, formerly
a deputy under Mr. Stevens; Archie
Leonard, J. C. Boyle, K. W. Wright,
V. B. Hollingsworth. Mrs. D. J. Cam
eron, former matron of the County
Jail, and newspapermen, who responded
in kind to Mr. Stevens' reference to the
fairness with which he had been
treated by the press of the city. There
was the usual programme of singing
and instrumental music, topped off with
a dainty dancing act.
Those present were Robert L. Stev
ens. E. W. Wright, Kd Sweeney, W. E.

EATON IS FOR REFORM
IiANB COT7NTY SOXOX WOULD
START AT HOME.
New Rules Proposed for Legislature
Vhich Will Bring That Body
Closer to People.
"Members of the Legislature are al
ready being1 besieged by people
throughout the state who wish to have
the abuses of the Oregon system cor
rected said Representative Eaton, of
Lane County, at the Imperial Saturday
night. I think it is the duty of the Leg
islature to help correct political abuses
wherever found, but I think it its worn
in this direction is to be effective that
the place to begin this reform is in the
Legislature itself, as the Legislature
is an important factor in the Oregon
system of popular government.
I have no bills to propose, con
tinued Representative Eaton, "and as
far as I am able I will encourage other
members to pursue a like course. In
fact, I would like to see a session in
which no bills were introduced, but in
stead the time and energy would be
expended in repealing a lot of lavs
that we have now and in changing the
methods of legislative procedure so
that fairness and efficiency would be
made the basis for the work of future
sessions. Far more important than
any bill that can be passed at present
is the consideration of methods that
will so reform the Legislature in its
work that every action will commend
itself to the people of Oregon.
"The most dangerous political sign
in the state at this time is the con
stantly widening gulf between the peo
ple and their legislative representa
tives. It is idle to say that there is
no reason for this or that it is an un
avoidable condition and it is the par
ticular duty of the legislators them
selves to seek out the causes and. cor
rect them. .
"The way to re-establish representa
tive government in the hearts and
minds of the people of Oregon is for
the Legislature to take the initiative,
not by proposing to correct the peo
ple's system of legislation, but first to
correct its own. The rules which a
few of the old members, including- my
self, are advocating are basic and fain
They are the result or a careful study
of the rules of every Legislature In
the Union, together with recent pro
gressive changes in the rules of the
National House of Representatives.
Wisconsin has contributed considerably
to the plan, but if the programmme
outlined by The Oregonian in a recent
editorial is adopted, it will give the
Oregon Legislature the fairest and most
efficient set of rules of all the Legisla
tures of the several states. However, I
believe that to make the rules abso
lutely fair committee appointments
should be made by a committee of com
mittees, to be chosen from the floor of
the House."
MALARKEY GIVES WARNING
Senate Members Asked to Present
Bills Early In Session.
"We are going to have a business
session," said Dan J. Malarkey, pros
pective president of the Oregon Sen
ate, last night, "and I wish to urge
upon all members to have their bills
ready for submission early, the first
week if possible. In no other way
can we accomplish all that should be
accomplished in the 40 days allotted to
us. We mUst expedite the work all
along the line, and there is no excuse
for a member holding a bill until near
the end of the session. We mean to
consider every bill on its merits. This
takes time, and the earlier in the ses
sion the last bill is introduced, the bet
ter work we can do."
For the benefit of new members and
to further the transaction of business
of the session. Senator Malarkey de
sires to call attention to Senate rule
No. 39, which provides that all bills,
memorials, joint and concurrent reso
lutions shall be presented in duplicate,
one copy to be retained and marked
by the chief clerk as the original and
the other to be used as copy by the
printer.
KNIGHTS WILL INITIATE
Roger B. Sin not t to Be Master of
Ceremonies at The Dalles.
The first class since the institution
of a Council of the Knights of Colum
bus at The Dalles will be initiated
there today, about 35 candidates .being
admitted to the order. The Dalles coun
cil will be assisted in the initiatory
work by Roger B. Sinnott, past state
deputy: Joseph P. Kelleher, past dis
trict deputy, and Edward B. Duffy, of
Portland Council, No. 67S.
A large number of visiting knights
from neighboring councils will be in
attendance, and the members of The
Dulles council have spared no efforts
to insure the success of the affair.

SHIP BOSTON. INSPIRATION
Representatives Inspect Sea Fighter
of Spanish War Fame, and Her
Oregon Seamen Are Praised .
by Their Instructor.
It was the good old cruiser Boston,
which Admiral George Dewey depended
on to a material extent at Manila Bay,
that furnished Inspiration for legisla
tors in short talks, and revived patriot
ism as food for thought and expression,
when they Individually promised in. the
wardroom of the lighting ship Saturday
night to lend every effort toward an ap
propriation of $24,000 to tide the Ore
gon Naval Militia over the coming two
years.
The occasion was a reception ar
ranged by the Oregon Naval Militia
Board to give members of both houses
at Salem, as well as brother offlcera of
the National Guard, an opportunity to
see the Boston. A personal inspection
of the vessel was a feature of the pro
gramme, and from the depths of her
hold to the superstructure the visitors
were piloted. On- that journey the
mechanism, fighting paraphernalia and
navigr.ting gear were no more prom
inent than the cleanly and orderly as
pect of every section.
As the inspection progressed the
Naval Militia band, resplendant in scar
let, blue and white, the regulation navy
uniform, rendered selections In a man
ner that backed the assertion of the
officers that the Boston's musical con
tingent bowed to none in the city.
In the wardroom had been arranged a
buffet lunch, and that served as a pre
lude to heart-to-heart talks that indi
cated the Boston's crew and exploits
were not unknown even In the most
isolated counties of the state.
Adjutant-General W. E. Finzer pre
sided and Colonel James Jackson, inspector-general
of the Guard, was
given the first detail. In welcoming
the guests Colonel Jackson called at
tention to the history of the Boston
and said that what she had done could
be repeated in .time of emergency. "The
trained soldier or sailor is the best, for
war is a business, but in this organiza
tion, as in others maintained by states
with tire assistance of the Government,
the aim is to avoid pitting green men
against the tried troops of other courf
tries," he said. "We want you to ap
preciate the work these men are doing
and the duty that devolves on all citi
zens of the Union in time of need."
"This is the largest and best vessel
the Government has loaned to any state
in the Union," said Harvey Beckwith,
president of the Naval Board. "The
first appropriation made of $25,000 en
abled the men of this militia to pro
ceed to the Bremerton Navy-Yard and
bring the ship here independent of any
outside assistance, a feat that " was
never performed by any othsr militia.
Today the organization represents a
growth that is most creditable, and
while Captain J. M. Ellicott. of the
cruiser Maryland, said he co&ld not
tell his men from the militiamen when
they cruised last year, they are better
today. Music, carpentering, engineer
ing, wireless telegraphy, seamanship
and navigation are but a few of the
most important branches men are
taught aboard today. It is entitled to
recognition."
Senator T. L. Perkins, an ex-member
of Battery A., Q. N. G., spoke of hopes
he entertained that the militia would
be given aid sought and touched upon
its value when called upon for service:
"I'm a taxpayer, not a big one, but
I pay about $5000 a year to support
something and a big part of that goes
to the police," remarked Captain Wil
liam Gadsby. "But we need a force to
handle what the police cannot. A vol
unteer soldier or sailor is the essence
of patriotism, but he gets no pay only
when hauled out for annual maneuvers
and then is given $1.50 a day for $10
worth of work. When the commanding
officer of the Maryland could not dis
tinguish militiamen from regular sail
ors, the State of Oregon has much to
be proud of. We don't have to be in
the Army or Navy to feel that way.
We can't expect the soapbox orators to
support this. The Nation is not built
of J. Pierpont Morgans nor of soapbox
orators, but of the class between and
they want this ship kept here to train
their sons."
Senator Wood, of Washington Coun
ty, who said he represented a county
composed of agricultural property ana
constituents who advanced themselves
by "pulling on the straps of their boots
to get them out of the mud." was im
pressive in his praise and said that the
militia should ask for an appropriation
along the line of what was actuary
needed.
Senator Spencer, of Multnomah, spoke
of the value of a Naval Militia as well
as a National Guard; that both were
needed to help the regulars and there
by form a nucleus in time of war, and
it was for the coastwise states to come
to the support of the Government in
manning ships.
"We know the men of the Naval
Militia will render services such as
made the Second Oregon famous in the
Spanish-American War," said Senator
Gus Moser, of Multnomah. "Therefore,
it is necessary that these preparations
be made for training material. I be
lleve in economy, but what does $12,
000 a year represent when compared to
the enormous sums spent in time of
war to train raw men? It will be for
the good of the entire state and is by
no means an advantage for Multnomah
County alone.'
Representative ' Mitchell, of Baker,
said that while from the sagebrush
region, his heart was with the Navai
Militia and that it deserved the support
of Eastern Oregon, Southern Oregon
and every county on the Coast. "I
firmly believe in the good purpose for
which this station ship is maintained
and would make it perpetual," he con
eluded.
Representative Anderson, of Clatsop,
said he was not aware of what hia
constituents thought of the Militia, but
that his trip to the ship had been a
revelation and he favored the organ
ization. Representative Lofgren, of
Multnomah and Clackamas, said there
DOUGLAS ASPIRANTS MANY
Lively Skirmish for Legislative Jobs
Worries Delegation.
ROSEBURG, Or., Jan. 12. (Special.)
Not in many years has ther been
sucb a skirmish among Douglas Conn
ty people for positions at Salem during
the legislative session as at the pres
ent time. In fact, they are so numerous
that even members of the Douglas
County delegation express doubt as to
whether half of them will be suc
cessful in landing the respective jobs
to which they aspire.
Ben Huntington. Jr., of Drain, desires
to be the next reading clerk of the
Senate, an according to his own state
ments., has -the solid- support of - the
Douglas County delegation.
H. T. McClallen. ex-Sheriff of Douglas
County, would accept the position of
assistant chief clerk in the House, and
from reports, he has assembled con
siderable strength.
George Crane, who served as door
keeper of the House during the .last
session, is after the position of sergeant
of arms of the Senate. Mr. Crane be
lieves he will be elected almost without
opposition.
"Bonnie" Buchanan, son of ex-Representative
J. A. Buchanan, and Ben
jamin Caro, son of a local merchant,
are out for 'committee clerks.-
Mrs. Johnson, a local stenographer,
has been employed by State Senator
George Neuner, and will act as his
stenographer during the legislative ses
sion. - ,
..Miss Flossie Shamhrook. for several
years employed in the Secretary of
State's pftice under the late Frank- Ben
son, is also one of Douglas County's
stenographers who will reside in Salem
during the Legislature.
L J. Jones, a -well-known local char
acter," who seldom fails to attend the
Legislature, . has already received his
commission as assistant janitor during
the session. :
Senator Neuner believes that every
lobbyist should be compelled to regis
ter, and state fully why he Is at the
Capitol. Through .such a bill Senator
NeTiner believes the old-time system of
playing on the inexperienced members
will be abated.

KING LOSES TO HEIFNER
Seattle Man Indorsed at Walla Walla
After Stormy Session.
WALLA WALLA. Waslu, Jan. 12.
(Special.) C. G. Heifner, of Seattle,
was indorsed for Secretary of the In
terior by the Democratic central com
mittee this afternoon over W. R. King,
of Portland, but only after a warm de
bate that lasted an hour or more.
Heifner, who was Wilson's manager
before the campaign, and King, who
had charge since, had a number of
friends in the meeting. C. M. Rader, a
former law partner of King, made a
stirring plea for his friend, but he was
finally voted down.
The reasons given out for the selec
tion were that Heifner had long been a
staunch Democrat and had the ability
to fill the office. He was also a rest
dent of the state, which had its effect.
In the discussion it wag brought out
that two of the Walla Wplla Repre
sentatives had indorsed King.
The session today was scrappy, from
the start. W. G. Honeycutt and George
B. Day, fighting for indorsement for
the postmastership, clashed. Day s aa
herents insisted on proxies being ex
cluded and won this victory. The
Honeycutt men demanded a secret bal
lot and on the ballot Honeycutt got
14 and Day 11.
A surprise today Was the indorse
ment of Mike Toner for the warden
ship of the prison. Only his closest
friends knew he aspired. In all, 15
Democrats were indorsed for state and
National positions.
SPEECH BAN IS REMOVED
Clarke County Bar Association to
Hare Toasts at Banquet.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 12. (Spe
ciaL) After having had the experience
of a speechless banquet, last year, the
Clarke County Bar Association nas de
cided unanimously that speeches will
be acceptable, even enjoyable, at the
annual banquet, to be given here Mon
day night, the day Superior Court opens
and Judge-elect Back takes the bench,
succeeding Judge McMaster.
A committee composed of Attorneys
Drowley, Connor and Stapleton, has
been appointed to make arrangements.
It is said by Mr. Stapleton that last
year, when speeches were taboo, all of
the oratorical attorneys in the county
were "grouchy" and that none of them
enjoyed the feast spread before them.
"We almply went in to the table, were
served, said how do you do to each otn.
er. frowned.and went home, very unhap
py," he continued. "It Is our business
to talk, to-orate, as it were, and if we
HOSPITAL PHYSICIAN ;
DECLARES RESULTS
We have a letter from a patient who
writes from an adjoining state on the
letter head of the local health office.
On July Sth, 1912. he had the physi
cian in the local hospital report on his
case of Bright's disease. It showed
"albumen abundant" with casts.
He got the consent of the hospital
physician to take Fulton's Renal Com
pound. On December 8th, 1912, the same phy
sician reported the total disappearance
of the albumen and casts.
We have both of the reports, signed
by the hospital physician. Physicians
may see them who care to call.
The new approach in kidney disease
through an agent that counteracts
renal degeneration is getting results in
thousands of cases in which failure
has been the rule. It does not conflict
with the heart and tonic treatment
often given in this disease, but it starts
the reaction necessary to recovery, viz.,
the assimilation of albumen.
. There may be a question as to the
percentage of chronic cases on the
orthodox treatment that recover by
adding Fulton's Renal Compound, but
if the books are true none of them re
cover without it.
