The bill creating a State Industrial Accident Commission -as in troduced by Representative Lawrence, revenge, were burled on the benatel floor today. While there have been moments when feeling has been running high, the battle of today In the Senate eclipsed - anything yet seen for bitterness and the black nature of the charges which were made. The first glimmer of the fight came when Neuner proposed to reconsider the Carkin bill providing for regulation of commission mer- chants. The bill was reconsidered and passed. Immediately, with flashing eyes and angry looks, Farrell Jumped to his feet and moved a reconsideration of the vote by which Schuebel's 10-hour bill bad been passed. Dimlck jumped to Jils feet and charged Farrell. who is connected with commission business, with attempting to protect his own Interests. He as scrted that Farrell, Incensed at the vote which had been taken on the question of the commission merchant bill, to which he said Farrell was op posed, had taken this immediate op portunity for revenge. .Farrell Chaaarrs Move.

Feb. 19. (Special.) The special committee. which Investigated the hatchery situa tion at Bonneville, met tonight and heard some testimony along the line of the charges made against Master Fish Warden Clanton. The report has' not been made, bnt it will be favorable to Clanton. according to statements of members of the committee. They said the main testimony pre sented was that Commissioner Kinney, who had hired a special architect to supervise work on the Bonneville hatchery plants had gone to the hatch ery and that Clanton had refused to abide by his decision. It was brought out that Clanton could act only under the authority of the board and under these conditions he abided by that authority and did not follow the super vision of the special architect. PREACHERS' VOTE IS FEATURE Senate Bill 34 Passes, Barring Sa loons From Depots. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 19. (Special.) Senate bill 34. by Hosklns, was passed by the House today, the feature of the action being that Howard of Douglas and Bonebrake of Benton, preachers, voted for it. This is the bill which bars saloons trom depots. It was amended In the Sunate so that saloons now occupying places in depots will not have to move out until January 1, 1914 much against the wish of Governor West. He is personally Interested in the bill, as it is- the one which concerns the Ore gon Electrlo depot at Portland. "I would prefer to take half than none at accept this and get the saloons out In less thaa a year. "I guess that is the best way," re plied Bonebrake. Despite Single Tax Opponent Scores Move, Resolutions Are Adopted by Oregon Senate. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 19. (Special.) Charges were made by Dimlck today that the proposed constitutional amendments advocated by the State Board of Tax Commis sioners, one providing that the Legis lature may levy specific taxes on vari ous classes or property ana anomer relating to uniform rules of assess ments and taxation, are effecting a compromise with the single tax ele- lent and strongly opposed the adop tion of resolutions which would place these amendments before the people. The resolutions were adopted, how ever, it being declared by Calkins, who supported them, that " no Legislative Assembly would ever approve of single tax and that if single tax is ever adopted in this state it must come through an initiative vote of the people. Dimick declared himself as unalter ably opposed to single tax and its soap-box supporters "and to the soap bubbles that have been blown in here from the East." "I do not believe in a compromise with the single taxers," he asserted. 'They would upset the whole financial scheme of our Government. I am also opposed to taking the equal and uni form provisions out of our constitu tion. The single tax agitation is the greatest curse ever brought to the state and the greatest iniquity ever conceived in the mind of man." Farmers' Union Buys Grain Bags. LEWISTOX, Idaho, Feb. 19.

"Let s of 0afr8 ordered; consisting of wheat bags and oat bags, figure that so per cent of the crop in the Idaho district will be wheat, the balance of 40 per cent oats and barley. and more familiarly known as the workmen's compensation bill, passed the Senate today with only one dissent ing vote. This was cast by Senator Day and in doing it he urged that all the rest of the SenatoTs vote for the bill, giving a brief explanation of his vote, which be caused to be entered In the journal. The bill passed the Senate without amendments. Inasmuch as it is the re sult of the work of the Governor's com mission, there is not even a remote doubt but the Governor will give it his approval. Only one effort was made to amend the bill. The Senate flat-footedly re fused to go into a committee of the whole and allow the entire bill to be opened up for amendments, but did agree to consider one proposed amend, ment from Senator Thompson. Proposed Amendment Lost, This would exempt from certain pro visions of the act hospital relief asso ciations which have been built up and which he believed should not be com pelled to close. This amendment, however, was not accepted. Some opposition developed to it because it was believed it would re sult In the entire question being re opened In the House. The Senators were agreed unanimously that some compensation act should be passed at this session of the Legislature and. while many made critical comments on the bill., they declared they would re main by it with their vote, as they believed it better than no bill at all and an opening wedge for future in dustrial legislation which will meet with the approval of all factions. In explaining his negative vote Sen ator Day said: Economic Vltir Taken. "I wish my vote to be recorded against House bill 27, for the reason that the provision thereof requiring contribution by the employe to the in surance fund tnerein created is eco nomically unsound, and for the further reason that the premium rates therein provided are in many cases excessively high, and are inequitable; and that the system of insurance so far as it relates to contribution by employers is experi mental, unsound, and not based on actuarial experience." Day also declared, in making his ex planation, that if he thought his vote would be neoessary to pass the present bill he would vote In favor of it, but' he was satlBded that the bill would pass and took this emphatic manner of expressing his objections to some of its provisions. The bill came from the committee with a favorable report from Smith (Coos), Kiddle and Wood, the other two members, Dimlck and Day, making no I report one way or the other. These Ave members constitute the committee on industries. As the bill carries an appropriation it went Into, the ways and means commit, tee and received a unanimously favor- able report from that committee.

WEST PLEADS FOR AID 5IESSAGE ASKS COVSIDERATIOX OF COLUMBIA SOUTHERN. Project Would 'ot Be Embarrassed by Reduction In Appropriation, Says Executive. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 19, (Special.) Recommending that if possible a reduction of the amount of the appropriation carried in the pro posal to take over the Columbia South ern project be made, but at the same time asking that the plan be given favorable consideration, if possible, Governor West sent a special message to the Legislature on the subject to day. 'This bill calls for an appropriation of $500,000 to complete what is known as the defunct Columbia Southern lrrl gation system," he writes. "The pro posed project would cover 27,000 acres of land, 21,000 acres of which are Ir rigable." Here he sets out in his message a de tailed statement of the cost as estl mated by the State Engineer, with the total figure placed at 1443,704. The amount called for in the bill Is little in excess of the engineer's es timate and could, therefore, be reduced to meet his figure without embarras Sing the project in any way," continues the executive. " . "The completion ot this system means much for the State of Oregon and It s. believed that the plan suggested is one of the most feasible and satisiac tory methods of. completing it. While the state has Incurred no liability on account of the failure of the project there Is no deubt a moral obligation on the part of the state to assist in rem edying conditions which to a certain extent are due to mistakes on the part of Borne of its officers. It- is almost impossible now to sell Carey act bonds because Investors have learned by bit ter experience that they are not always desirable security. The result is that the promoters are obliged to finance these projects on the funds of the prospective settler. In view of this It seems that the plan outlined in House bill 177, is about the best possible so lution to the problem. The money ap propriated would only be a temporary burden to the taxpayers, as it would, In due time, be returned to the State Treasurer from the sale of lands." ROADHOUSES SQUABBLE CAUSE County Courts' Right to Grant Li censes Worries Solons. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 19 (Special.) On the question of whether or not the County Court may grant licenses to roadhouses there was a hot skirmish in the House tonight. The subject was finally decided by adopting the minority report, but the fight will be continued later on the Hos kins bill. Thorns made a minority re port against any licenses outside of in corporated cities and towns. Westerlund and Carpenter reported an amendment, giving the County Court the right to grant liquor licenses to hotels. Bonebrake declared the amendment will kill the bill. Howard declared likewise. Schuebel said: "The roadhouses are the most damnable hellholes in the state. Multnomah County has elected a Sheriff who has sworn to close these roadhouses, now give him a chance." Carpenter .and Spencer said that, without the amendment, such hotels as at Gearhart, Seaside and similar places would be ''put out of business." "I am opposed to roadhouses of-all kinds." declared Carpenter. Belland said that "Seaside and Gear hart are incorporated and the bill can not hurt them." Hurd believed the amendment would kill the bill. Bridge Bond Issuance Favored. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 19? (Special.)

Senate Backs Up President Malarkey nd Committees, Miller, Too, Ex, pressing Perfect Confidence. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 19. (Special.) Senator W. Lair Thomp son's sudden move to ask the Senate to express a vote of confidence in President Malarkey and the commit tees of that body yesterday, receiving peedy sanction except from Joseph and Kellaher, has placed that minority in decidedly vulnerable position. The unfounded attack of Joseph di rected at the President of the Senate and the committees, fell absolutely flat. It completely bared the motives that have Impelled him in delaying the session at every opportunity that has been given him to make an extended speech. This was all the more strongly em phasized when Senator Thompson, who did not assist in perfecting the organi sation, but who, to the last ditch, fo isted that John Carson, of Marlon. should be President of the Senate, was the man who rebuked the minority Bull Moose member.

He gave excellent example of his speed in this connection after Joseph had been offering an at tack on President Malarkey and some of the committees. . The attack had come unexpectedly. Hardly had Joseph been seated when Thompson moved a vote of confidence in the President and the committees. Thompson had been opposed to the organisation, but the suggestion came right off the bat," as it were. The vote of confidence was given, Kellaher and Joseph being the only two to vote against It. Infection and Disinfection How Physicians Protect Themselves Against Contagious Disease. i There Is a no tion among the people that the physicians have something to protect them selves from con tagious diseases. It is known that the p h y s i clan goes in and out among diseases that are catch ing and it is assumed that he hame some spe cial means to protect himself. Many people think he has some drug that he takes. Or he c a r r i es on his b. B. HAKTMA-N, M. l. Columbus, Ohio. person some disinfectant that makes him safe. This is not true, however. The physician has no potent charm to keep disease away. There are no such remedies. The only protection against disease Is good health. To keep in splendid bodily condition Is almost a sure preventive to contagious disease. The successful physician takes care of his body. His skin is clean. And if he has any scratches or open sores he is very careful about coming in con tact with anything to Infect them. He Is careful about his diet. To come into the presence of infection with indiges tion is to invite danger, over eating is a prolific cause ot the spread of contagious diseases. More than all this, however, is the condition of the mucous membranes of the body. The mucous membranes line the nose, the throat, the larynx, the bronchial tubes, the stomach, the bowels, the kidneys. The mucous mem branes protect these organs against infection. If the mucous membranes are perfectly normal.. If they are doingW their function as they should, there Is no danger of Infection from that source. The most common derangement of the mucous membrane is catarrh. Catarrh produces a condition of the mucous membrane .which disables it from protecting the system. Poisons are easily absorbed through the mu cous membrane. If there is any ca tarrhal congestion. What is still worse, the catarrh will produce small ulcers on the mu cous membrane. Sometimes these ulcers are so small as to be Invisible to the naked eye. Others are large, producing white -patches of some size. Such a mucous membrane will absorb any poison with which it comes in contact. The physician strives to keep the mucous membranes free from ca tarrh. He knows very well if he ex poses himself to disease with catarrhal mucous membranes he cannot hope to escape infection. There are different remedies recom mended to produce this result. But the remedy that will really keep the mucous membranes healthy, the remedy I use myself, the remedy I recommend to my patients, to my friends, is Peruna. Peruna, if taken properly, will protect the mucous membranes from catarrh. This will enable the mucous membranes to protect the body from contagious disease. If I were practicing among con tagious and infectious diseases today I should take Peruna every day, to in sure a perfect condition of health. There is no disinfectant strong enoagh to kill disease germs that will no at the same time Injure the human body. Therefore, good health of body, inside and out, is the only hope of the physi cian or any one else, as a preventive against contagious diseases. No. E0. No Need to Have Gray Hair This Simple Recipe, Made I'p Your Home, Solves the Problem. at A good many men and women go through life handicapped by gray hair, believing that It cannot be darkened so as to escape detection among their friends. This is altogether wrong.
