OLYJrfPIA, Wash.. Jan. 16. (SpecJaL)
Both branches of the Washington
Legislature were showered with freak
bills today. Ten out of 21 proposed
acts introduced in the Senate and six
out of 12 In the House were of a radi
; cal or freakish nature. In the deluge
Legislators see bright prospects for
- many lively fusses during the remain
der'of the two months session.
So radical are some of the bills that
when their titles were read by the
I reading clerks they caused rounds of
laughter. Some of them are similar to
- bills which have been in the Washlng-
ton Legislature before, but the major-
lty Is new.
If the wishes of the authors of bills
should be carried out It would be un-
lawful to manufacture or se'I pistols
or revolvers; treating in saloons would
be prohibited; sheets 99 inches in
length would be required on all beds In
hotels; all criminals and insane would
be sterilized within 30 days; prize
fighting would be regulated by a com'
mission; misstatements in advertising
matter would subject the advertiser to
- punishment; teachers and mothers
would be pensioned and many other
3 similar changes in the present laws of
society would be enacted,
Lg-lfilatora Frame Measures.
The majority of the measures were
1 Introduced by members of the Leglsla
ture on their own accord, while others
-j were introduced by request of constitu-
ents. Those fathered by members

Bill Would Curb Sportsmen in Clark
County Waters.

Protection of fish in lakes, rivers and
the Columbia sloughs In Clark County.
Washington, is provided in two bills
Introduced in the Senate of the Wash
ington Legislature today. Under the
provisions of one measure, it is made a
misdemeanor for any person to fish
with net. seine, trap, or set net in the
waters mentioned. In the other a daily
limit of 12 black baaa and 60 cropplet
t fixed.
Another bill was Introduced making
a game refuge and reserve of the Puget
Found and all its tributaries. This will
be fought by sportsmen because of their
belief that it is an attempt on the part
of owners of land along the shores of
the sound to open private hunting
grounds. The state, they say, would
protect ducks, freese and other birds on
the sound waters, tut they could he
ahot while flying1 over private property.

NEED OF REFORM IS SEEN
B. F. Jones Says Statute Framed to
Benefit Prairie States Is Unfit
for Timbered Country Can
ada More Liberal.
BY B. P. JONES.
ROSEBURG, Or., Jan. 15. The ques
tion is often asked why Canada, is
getting a much greater immigration of
actual homeseekers than is the United
States. Our Information, gleaned from
hundreds of settlers during the past
few years as to the cause, is that the
homestead laws in Canada are more
liberal than the homestead laws of the
United States. Our information comes
from all classes of homeseekers, from
nearly every state in the Union, in
cluding quite a number who have gone
from Oregon to Canada to obtain free
lands.
On account of the cultivation clause
In the "new homestead law," act of
June 6, 1912. the homesteading of lands
In the timber regions of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho are practically cut
off. From a personal knewledge of much
of the lands open to settlement in
Western and Southwestern Oregon, I
know that there is not one claim in a
hundred that has any good open land
clear of timber or brush, the excep
tion being along the sides of steep,
rocky ridges that are not fit for farm
ing purposes. There are. however, hun
dreds of acres of land in Oregon that is
covered with brush and timber that
will make good homes for the actual
homeseekers. The soil Is as a rule very
rich and will produce anything that
can be raised in an Oregon climate.
From a long residence in the timbered
regions of the Coast counties, I will say
that the average industrious, law-abiding
citizen who has settled upon the
land to make a home, under ordinary
circumstances where he has no money
except, probably, less than J100 at the
time or settlement,' does not have at
the end of five years, as a rule, a greater
area than from three to five acres of
land In actual cultivation. Aside from
this little tract, he will, however, as a
rule, have a number of acres that he
has cut the brush off, burned and
seeded the land to tame grass, and he
has gathered about him a number of
head of stock, and, as a rule, he makes
good, and he adds from year to year
to the area of cultivated land as the
stumps rot out.
Cultivated Area Small.
Any person who has ever been
through the counties of Clatsop, Tilla
mook, Lincoln, Western Lane and
Douglas and Coos and Curry must
know that the average amount of land
in actual cultivation does not at the
present time amount to one-eighth of
the area of each 160 acres of land.
except along the larger rivers or bays,
where there are large bodies of bottom
and tide lands, and portions of these
counties have been settled for 50 years,
and the people, many of them, have
grown rich and hundreds or prosperous,
happy homes are t be seen.
Now, after the best and largest
areas of bottom and open lands have
been taken, the law is so amended that
a settler must cultivate 30 acres of his
160 acres at the end of three years. I
want to say, without fear of eontradic
tion from any one who is familiar with
the timbered regions of the lands now
open to settlement, that a strong, able
bodied man, if he spends all his time
working on his homestead every work
ing day during the three years, cannot,
on an average, have more that! three
acres in actual cultivation, if he re
moves all the timber, brush and stumps
and if he only removes the larger trees
above one foot in diameter and leaves
the rest of the big stumps, he will not
have at the end of the three years, on
an averager a greater area of land
ready for cultivation than five or six
acres. But if he has worked during
these three years, say, half the time, or
for seven months out of the year, being
off the land the other five months for
the purpose of earning money to live
upon the other Seven months, he will at
the end of the three years have prob
ably three acres in cultivation, and
probably from five to ten acres more
that has been slashed and the brush
burned, and the land seeded to tame
grass, and will have some stock around
him and have from 50 to 100 Iruit
trees set out and all kind of berries
growing. If no unforeseen bad luck
overtakes him he will make good. I
will say that during six years that I
served as County Clerk of a coast
county, where the final proofs were
practically all made before me and the
settlerB were actual nomeDuuders ana
the most of them are still living on
their homesteads and are nearly all ol
them independent and welltodo, they
did not have, at the time of making
final proof, at the end of the five or
seven years in which they had to make
their proof under the old law, on an
average more than from three to five
acres in actual cultivation at the time
of making their final proof.
During the last three years at
Firat Laws Strict.
the Roseburg (Oregon) Land Office,
there has been approximately 900 final
proofs made on homesteads or passed
upon at that office, and the average
amount of land in actual cultivation
as shown by the proof In each case
has not, except in a very few cases, ex
ceeded five acres, and as a rule the
cultivated area runs from two to
three acres. The entryman, in addi
tion to this. Usually has from five to
s high as 20 acres upon which the
brush has been cut and burned and
seeded to tame grass, and In addition
thereto has as a rule from five to as
high as 0 acres of the land under
some kind of a fence that will turn
stock. It must be remembered that the
forest fire laws are so strict now that
settler' cannot burn his brush at
will, but must obtain a permit from
the proper officials to burn his brush,
and the dry season of the year he ie
not permitted to burn his brush, so
that the settler or today is not only
laboring under difficulties that the
early settler did not have to contend
with in this respect, but De it remem
bered that the land now open to set
tlement is remote from roads and
schools and in many Instances the set
tler is compelled to build from one
to as high as eight or ten miles of
road or horse trail in order to reach
his claim.
It must not be forgotten that
on account ot tne law allowing
unsurveved lands to be scripted and
by reason of this fact railroad compa
nies and large land-owners have ac
quired the best timber In each town
ship, sometimes taking half of the
township and in other instances pick
ing out the best timbered lands in a
township, leaving the lands open for
homeseekers scattered over the town
ship so that the settlers are often un
able to obtain land near each other.
and as these large land-holders never
build any roads or schools, the settler
is compelled to build his own trails
and his school privileges are often cut
off on account of there not being aet-j

Hardships Are Worked.
Another hardship worked Upon the
homesteader under the "new homestead
law" is the comoelling of the home
steader who settled upon his land prior
to the enactment of sam law to mane
his final proof under the new law in
stead of the law In force when he
settled upon his claim. There are bun
riroria of settlers in Oregon who set
tied upon unsurveyed lands before the
new homestead law went into effect,
many of them having been waiting for
from five to ten years for the Govern
ment to survey the lands in order that
they might make their applications.
Many of these settlers will lose their
land and all their time and money if
this law is not amended, , for it Is a
matter of common knowledge that
hundreds of these settlers have not
one-eighth of the area of their lands
In cultivation, wnne many ui- i
have not as much as 20 acres on their
claims that ever can be put into actual
cultivation. ,
nun-fourth of the area of Ore-
eon is now in the National forest
reserve. Much of this land is not

PANTAGES REACHING OUT
Six Canadian Cities Added to Circuit
of Vaudeville Magnate.
SEATTLE, vTaSh., Jan. 1". ' (Spe
cial.) At the conclusion of a confer
ence today between A. W. Cameron, a
wealthy theatrical promoter oi oassa
t Aihprta. and J. J. Cluxton, local
representative of Manager Alexander
Pantages, it was announced that ar
rangements had been completed
whereby Pantages" vaudeville will ap
pear in six new cities in tne uinaaian
country. It was said the annexation
means an expenditure of approximately
$780,000. Cameron will manage the
Pantages properties there.
The towns adaea to tne ranusra cir
cuit through this neal are ttegina,
Moose Jaw, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat,
Swift Current and Prince Albert. These
theaters have been playing road at
tractions, but now will be filled three
days a week with consecutive Pantages
bookings. The change will go into ef
fect February 6, and will mean that in
the future this circuit will consist of
21 instead of 18 weeks' time.
A change in the routing or vantages'
shows for the future also was an
nounced. With the new houses on the
string, the bills heretofore opening in
Calgary will open in Prince Albert,
going from there to Saskatoon, thence
to Moose jaw, swill uurreoi, aaeuivniw
Hat. Calgary. Edmonton, Lethbridge
and Into Spokane, from which city they

The Oregon freshman is, how
ever, huskier than her sister across
the state line. The former has ah ad
vantage of one inch in height and al
most two pounds in weight. The exact
figures for the Washington woman
are: Average height, 5 feet, 2 inches;
average weight, 120 pounds. For the
Oregon woman they are: Average
height, 1 5 feet, 3 Inches; average
weight, 121.8 pounds. In lung capacity
there is not much to choose, the aver
age for the Washington woman being
168.23 centimeters, that for the Oregon
woman 168.20 centimeters.
"Measurements are of no real value.
It is what a girl can actually do that

Even Cold and Wind
Can't Keep Buyers Away
Piano Purchasers Brave Unpleasant Weather to Take
Advantage of Unprecedented Piano Prices.
Even the unpleasant weather for the
last two days can't stop the stampede
of pianos at Eilers Music House. And
no wonder when the finest? of new
pianos and player pianos and baby
grands are obtainable at prices which
represent the saving of a good round
sum from the already low Eilers prices.
When fine used pianos are obtain
able for as low as $70, $59. $43, etc., it
surely means that the piano buyers of
this city are now afforded the oppor
tunity of securing a desirable instcu
ment at unquestioaably the lowest
prices ever made by a reasonable house
anywhere.
And don't get the impression that
the instruments offered are not desir
able on acoount of the low prices. De
pend upon it that such is not the case,
or else we would not be selling the
scores of pianos that are findtng new
homes daily.
NEW PIANOS INCLUDED.
Don't think that the reductions ap
ply only on used pianos. We have in
cluded all new pianos which have be
come shopworn, also those styles which
will not be included In the 1913 cata
logue. Aside from a few mars and
scratches all of them are in every way
like new.
Think of securing superb full Bleed
orchestral upright grands, in fanciest
mottled mahogany or beautiful burl
walnut and genuine quarter Bawed
oak, at almost half price. Elsewhere
these same pianos would cost you $550,
and even In the East they have never
been sold for less than $500. Clearance
cost now only $268 and payments of $2
weekly secures one. Plainer styles for
$22 leBS money.
SURELY WORTH DOUBLE.
In used pianos you will find practi
cally every prominent American make
represented. These have come to us in
part payment for costly Chlckerings
and Kimballs and Player Pianos de
Luxe. See them. Many like new. Buy
one now and use it two years, then
