(Special.) Consolidation and. elim ination of state departments, which subject was given much consideration during the recent legislative session, resulted In the consolidation of two departments into one end the elimina tion of two others. The-offices of the State Highway Engineer and the State Engineer are to be consolidated and the state ac countancy system and the State Im migration Commission are abolished. All other consolidation bills .were sent to their graves over various parlia mentary routes. One bill was passed in the closing hours of the session providing that the State Engineer become an appointive officer at the expiration of the term of the present engineer In January. 1919. While this Is not considered a part of the consolidation programme. It has been placed In that class for good measure. The bill to change the name of the State Railroad Commission to the Pub lic Service Commission also was passed and may be called a consolidation measure. Corporation Bureau Merger Fails. One important bill that members of the Senate wanted to see passed, but that the House failed to pass, was that providing for consolidation of the cor poration and Insurance departments. It did not get up before the House for final consideration until long after midnight and received only 23 votes in its favor. A batch of other consolidation bills was sent over to the House from the Senate in the closing hours of the ses sion, but the House adjourned with the bills resting peacefully on the table. The bill to combine the two en gineering departments was not reached in the House until after 1 o'clock this morninj. t The measure had been re ported favorably by the House com mittee and came up on its merits. It was pointed out that the bill would save a few thousand dollars a year for the state. There was no opposi tion to the bill and 'the members were tired when the roll was called, so nearly everyone voted "aye." Speaker Selllmt Object. But when it came Speaker Selling's turn to vote he took occasion to de nounce the tactics of the Senate in asking the House to pass upon im portant consolidation measures in the closing days of the session. "I want to say." said the Speaker, "that this Is a part of a deal. The entire appropriation for the engineer ing department Is only $10,000 a year. If we saved It all. that is the sum total of the saving that we can make. There Is no real genuine economy In this kind of business. "Now. I know what this is for. It means that members of this Legisla ture have made promises to consoli date and that they have not consoli dated. -It Js now 1:45 Sunday morning, pulling out his watch, "and they want u.i to pass this kind of legislation merely so that the members can go home and say that they carried out their pledges. For my part, I didn't make any pledges of that kind and I don't propose to stultify -myself by voting for this kind of a bill." Premised Saving Ridiculed. The Speaker then went on to ex plain that if the Legislature wanted to be sincere In its programme of re trei.chment and economy it should have saved for the state treasury some of the money being received and ex pended every yetr through the de partment of fish and game. He ridiculed the previous assertions of members of the Senate committee on consolidations that their plans pro vided for a saving of $1,000,000 In the biennium by pointing out that the ex penditures of all the departments that it was nroDosed to consolidate mounted to only $1,400,000 In thej biennium. Although an overwhelming majority had voted in favor of the consolidation bill, the Speaker's remarks were ap plauded. y The only other consolidation bill that came to a vote in the House was the insurance-Corporation bill. The House consolidation committee was spilt In threo different ways. Repre sentatives Hare and Wentworth - fa vored it. Representatives Hunt and Eaton opposed it. Speaker Selling made no recommendation. By unani mous consent the House allowed the bill to go to third reading without acting on any of the committee re ports. Eaton Calta Bill Politics. Representative Hare made a per functory argument In support of the bill. He presented figures from the two affected departments to show that the plan might result in a saving of from $6000 to $10,000 a year. Repre sentative Eaton opposed the bill on the ground that it consisted of nothing more nor less than politics. Speaker Selling pointed out that the expenditures of the insurance depart ment and the corporation department were precisely $23,200 and $34,200 re spectively in the last two years an aggregate of $57.400 and that the ap propriation carried in the consolida tion bill for the combined department was $56,000. "I merely want to present the fact that all the saving contemplated In this bill is only $1400." he said. "1 don't want to argue against the bill. I merely want the members to keep this fact In mind In voting." Representative Stewart attacked the measure saying that the people de feated a similar bill on the election ballot last Fall by a vote of two to one. The bill then went down to de feat via the rollcall route. Other consolidation bills rejected were: H. B. 92. by Tierce, of Coos and Curry, to combine the Desert Land Board' with the State Land Board. H. B. 107, by Thorns, to combine State Water Board. State Engineer and superintendent of water divisions into a department of public works. S B. 4. by Barrett, to consolidate the State Labor Commissioner. In dustrial Welfare Commission.

FORT PETITION DROPPED Walla AValla Clnb Hopeful of Hav ing Barracks Occupied. WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Feb. 21. (SDeclal.) State Senator tjharpstein's memorial to the United States Govern ment asking that Fort Walla Walla, when abandoned for military purposes. be turned over as an experiment sta tion farm, will not be pressed at this session.

(Spe cial.) Information has been received from W. H. Ralph, of Nez Perce, who is now buying horses in Southern Idaho for the French cavalry and ar tillery, that the sixth trainload assem bled in the Northwest has gone for ward to Jersey City, N. J., for ship ment. Mr. -Ralph says the horses they are buying are the middle class, which are fitted for hard work. They must be from IB to 16.1 hands high and from 950 to 1400 pounds in weight.

Bingham, of Lane, Saves Fund for Tax Commission at Last Moment Appropriations May Be $6,500,000. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 21. (Special.) "I think I can say, without fear of successful contradic tion that the session Just closed was one of the most successful in the his tory of the Oregon Legislature," said President Thompson, of the Senate, at 5 o'clock this afternoon, as he finished signing the bills. "No harmful legisla tion has been enacted and much good legislation has been passed, aiin was kept with the people on the economy programme, the appropriations of the session being about $1,600,000 less than those of the preceding one. I think they will total about $6,500,000." The President of the upper branch of the Legislature remained on duty until the work was finished, although the last day's session was- probably the longest ever held by the Oregon Legislature. Two sessions were held during the day Saturday, and the night one began about 9 o'clock. Delay was caused by the Senate ways and means committee, desiring to make filial in vestigation of appropriation bills passed -by the House. It trimmed the appropriation of the State Tax Com mission from $30,000 to $20,000, and that of the Dairy and Food Commis sioner from $39,000 to $38,000, but it was of no avail, for the Senate passed the bills allowing the original amounts. Bingham Saves Tax Fund. Senator Bingham, from Lane County, who won the sobriquet .of "chief of staff because of his remarkable ca pacity for work, saved the Tax Com mission's appropriation at 5 o'clock this morning, when it appeared that the recommendation of the committee would be approved. The Lane County man declared that the work of the Commission was not appreciated, and urged the members not to injure its efficiency by cutting the appropria tion. Although there was strong op position, the appropriation passed by the House was approved by a majority of two votes. Senator Bingham also won his fight for $6000 to complete the armory at Eugene, just before the close of the session. He insisted that the money be allowed because the state had only appropriated one-third of the money for erecting the ' building, the other two-thirds being contributed by the county and city. He said the state had contributed half for other armories. Water Power Action Extolled. President Thompson says he believes that the resolution providing for a conference of delegates from 11 West ern states 'to agree upon a conserva tion and water power development pro gramme for recommendation to Con gress, which will be held in Portland the latter part of the year, is one of the most important things done by the Legislature. Oregon will be repre sented by five delegates, the Senate having elected President Thompson and Edgar B. Piper and the House C. Hud son and S. B. Huston members. Gov ernor Withycombe is ex-officio mem ber of the delegation. President Thompson said he was con fident a comprehensive plan would be evolved which would be adopted by the Federal Government and that the latent resources of the West would be devel oped as rapidly as possible. The all-night session taxed the en durance of the Senators and several of them dozed in their seats while bills of lesser importance were being discussed. During recesses tables in the commit tee rooms became improvised beds and the snores of at least one member amused the crowd in the Senate cham ber. Dose Saves Hated Bill. Alexander La Follett, the oldest member and one of the few living men who voted for Abraham Lincoln, was active to the last in fighting appropria tions. He dozed only once and it was fatal, for upon being aroused and be fore he had time to collect his wits, he voted for a bill appropriating $2000 for exterminating Jackrabbits in Eastern Oregon.' He had fought the bill all during the session and through the irony of fate but for his vote it would not have passed. The Senator, figura tively speaking, is kicking himself to night for his mistake. It 'was about 8 o'clock when the work of the Senate was finished and the usual recess was taken to give the President opportunity to sign the bills. As the Senate was not in session every body indulged In merry-making. Sen ator La Follett was presented a car toon of himself, sketched by Senator McBride, and, responding to the pre sentation speech of Senator Butler, de clared "he wasn't so bad looking, after all." The Wasco Senator referred to the Marlon County man as the "watch dog of the treasury," and Senator La Follett responded that other members would wish they had been when they announced their aspirations for re election. During the recessearly in the night George W. Joseph, former Senator from Multnomah County, and Senator Dlmick furnished amusement with verbal caricatures of each other. Joseph suggested that Dimlck might be "a scorpion, for he halls from Ore gon City where there are rocky cliffs, but instead he was a crab that had es caped from the falls of the Willam ette." Dimick caused a burst of laugh ter when he retorted that a bill af fecting pawnbrokers was the cause of Joseph's presence in the Senate. After the good-natured 'badgering the Sena tors shook hands and Joseph furnished the Clackamas Senator with informa tion for an argument to put an end to a bill other Senators thought meri torious. The Joke was on both of them when the bill passed by a- large ma jority. Cigar Stand Kept Busy. Sam Foster, who is in charge of the cigar stand in the coridor, was one of the happiest men In the Capital City today. He sold his entire stock of cigars' and about 600. sandwiches dur ing the night. Vacant corridors were all that greeted the solitary vsltor to the State Capitol tonight in contrast with the throngs and political' din which has filled the legislative chambers and lobbieB for the past 41 days. Not even the debris ot old bills and discarded correspondence of Oregon's lawmakers which littered the floors of the two houses when the session closed was left by noon. Even before the last lingering legislators had re ductantly bidden farewell to one an other the Janitors were busy clearing and cleanlr g. . To the casual visitor, not knowing that a session of the Oregon Legislature had Just been brought to a close, it would have been impossible to tell that anything out ted . j Mallory Raffety. Mallory Raffety, pioneer of 1852, died Sunday at the resi-. dence of his brother,. Dr. Dav Raffety, 669 East Eighth street, where he had made his home for 25 years. He was born in Missouri in 1841 and cartie to Oregon in 1862. He spent his boyhood on a farm in Wash ington County, and settled in East Portland in 1869, where, with his brother, Dr. Dav Raf fety, he founded the pioneer drug firm of Raffety & Bros. He is survived by his brothers. Dr. Dav and Dr. C. H. Raffety, and his nephew, Harry L Raf fety, of this city, besides many other relatives. Funeral services will be con ducted tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at Dunning's chapel, 414 East Alder street, and will con clude at the Portland Cremato rium, near Sell wood.

Lambert and Cal Powell. think he'd have much use for them at home, he thought his wife would ap preciate the books for the family li brary. Others asserted that the books would come in handy if arranged prominently in the front parlor. "They give tone to the room," re marked one Senator, who hails from one of the alfalfa counties. BIG DOMAIN OBJECTIVE STATE IS AUTHORIZED TO SL'E FOR 2,000,000 ACRES. 4 Legislature Authorizes Oregon to Take Steps to Obtain Railroad Land Grant If Government Wins. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Feb. 21. (Special.) Intervention by the State of Oregon in the Oregon & California land grant case is authorized by Sena tor Cusick's joint memorial adopted by both houses of the Legislature last night The proposed Intervention is "for the purpose of securing and protecting the best interests of the State of Oregon and its citizens and to take aviy and all steps and proceedings which may be necessary or permissible to safeguard such interests." The measure calls attention to the fact that more than 2,000,000 acres of land involved in the suit will be with drawn from taxation in the various counties of the western part of the state if the Federal Government wins the suit and title to the property re verts to the Government. Under provisions of the original grant of July 25. 1866, the Oregon & California Railroad was required to sell this land to actual settlers at a price not to exceed $2.50 an acre. For the alleged non-compliance with this pro vision the Government has brought suit against the railroad and Is making an effort to have the property forfeited. The case now Is pending in the United States Supreme Court. Should the property fevert to the Government the several affected coun ties will be unable to collect taxes. The legislative resolution authorizes the Attorney-General to intervene in the case in the hope that the Govern ment, in the event that it wins title, can be induced to place the land, on the market, so that it can be opened for settlement.' Senator Cusick's resolution sets forth the effect the withdrawal of this land from taxation will have upon the sev eral counties of Western Oregon, as follows: Forfeited Total O. &C. land state Amt.
