SENATE IS AHEAD
ON CONSOLIDATIONS
Effort Probably Will Be Made
to Have House Committee
. Combine in Programme.
DIMICK BILL COMING UP
Measure Providing for Merging of
State Tax and Public Service
Commissions Would Make Ap-
KTATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or.. Jan. 21.
(Special.) Both houses of the Legis
lature will reconvene at 10:30 o'clock
tomorrow morning, following the week
end adjournment.
The Senate will take up Immediately
- tta consolidation programme. Senate
bill 115, introduced Friday by the Sen
ate consolidation committee, of which
, Senator Dimick Is chairman, will be on
the calendar for third reading and pas
ease. This bill, which Is a substitute (or
bill originally introduced by Senator
Barrett, provides for consolidation of
the State Tax Commission with the
Public Service Commission.
f.10,000 Savins Indicated.
Though, of course, there are numer
ous angles to this proposed consolida
tion to be considered, on its face it
would effect a biennial saving of ap-
proximately $30,000, which Is the
amount asked by the State Tax Com
mission for the next two years.
By passing this measure tomorrow,
. which it probably will do, the Senate
will get the jump on the House In con-
' Eolidation matters.
Ever since the House turned down
the Senate plan for a Joint consolida
tion committee, and Insisted on ap-
' pointing a separate committee of Its
own, there has been a feeling of keen
. rivalry between the two houses on this
question.
Co-operation May Be Sought.
Other developments of Interest on
the consolidation issue are likely to
occur in the Senate tomorrow. There
- is understood to be a resolution In
preparation urging that the separate
committees work Jointly, and directing
the Senate committee to make over
tures to this effect to the House com
mittee. If the Senate adopts this resolution
its good faith on the consolidation
Issue will be shown. If the House
then turns it down, the Senate will in
terpret it as evidence that the House
Is not working in good faith.
Important Bills Expected.
The coming week probably will see
the introduction of most of the "big"
measures that have been held back
heretofore. Important road bills, con
solidation bills, the new military code
and the new insurance code are some
of those expected.
Next Saturday members of both
houses will go to Eugene, by Invitation
and at the expense of citizens of that
town, to inspect the University of
Oregon.

LIVING ON YOUR KERYE'
Everybody has a store of nervous en
ergy. When work or worry without
sufficient rest exhausts this store acon
dition reeults that medical men call
neurasthenia.
It is commonly met with, in those
who have had keen anxieties, as those
who have cared for sick relatives, bus
iness men who worry over their affairs
and neglect to take vacations. Women
who are too active socially, anyone who
luia too much excitement and too littla
rest may show the symptoms.
The complexion becomes pale, yoa
imagine unpleasant things, your brain
insists on working when you want to
go to sleep? Sometimes you are mel
ancholy. Thinpa that need to please
you no longer do so. Constipation is
usually present. You worry about
yourself and your work and cannot for
get your anxieties.
No doctor can cure neurasthenia.
You have to do it yourself. The first
thing is to write to the Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Scheriectady, N. Y., for
the booklet on the home treatment of
nervous disorders. If you want to
etart the treatment before the book
comes pot a fifty-cent box of Dr. Wil
liams' Vink Pills from the nearest drug
store and follow the directions carefully.

MRS. FRANCES H WHITEHEAD. t
BILL GLERK BRAVE
Mrs. Frances Whitehead Has
Home Far From Town.
RIFLE SAFE PROTECTION
Intrepid Homesteader of Christmas
Lake Valley, Now Employedin
Responsible Position by the
Senate, Is Efficient.
STAE CAPITOI Salem, Or., Jan. 20.
(Special.) The Senate has one of
the most efficient bill clerks, to say
nothing of being the most popular
one, at this session, who has ever
held that position. An important posi
tion it is, too, for If the bill clerk slurs ,
his duties or her duties, as it hap
pens to be in this case the learned
senators wouldn't get promptly the
printed copies of the bills up for con
sideration, and any old freak legisla
tion might slip through by default.
The name of this model for all bill
clerks is Mrs. Frances H. Whitehead,
and she came all the way from her
homestead In Christmas Lake Valley,
in the sage brush country 115 miles
from Bend, Oregoa, to apply for the
position. f
Senators Eacfr to Mkd-
When she arrived here, at the open
ing day of the session, Mrs. White
head timidly asked a senator or two
to sign a petition asking the presi
dent of the Senate to appoint her to
the bill clerk post. These senators
took a look at Mrs. Whitehead, who
is exceedingly dainty and petite, as
well as very plucky and earnest, and
not only signed the petition in a hurry
but rounded up other senators and
asked them to eign it, too. v
All told. 22 of the 29 senators elgned
the petition, and the only reason the
signatures were not unanimous was
that President Moser appointed her
before the others could get on the" list.
She has justified the senatorial con
fidence by establishing a new standard
of excellence for bill clerks.
To look at Mrs. Whitehead, one
wouldn't exactly take her for a home
steader. Just the same, she has lived
alone on her homestead for three
years, and has done the hard work
that a homesteader has to do. x
40 Acres Are Cleared.
With her own hands she has cleared
40 acres of sage brush, and put enough
of It into cultivation to raise all the
garden supplies she needs, and more.
When she first went on the home
stead, her nearest neighbor was three
miles away. Now there is no neigh
bor closer than six miles, but the soli
tude doeen't frighten her.
As for wild animals, Mrs. Whitehead
isn't any more afraid of them than she
is of loneliness, and many a venture
some coyote ha fallen before her rifle.

FISHING 10 BE TOPIC
Mass Meeting Called to Ex
press Views in Oregon City.
SUBJECT IS BURNING ISSUE
Opinions Will Be Voiced on Two
Bills Before Legislature Limit
ing Commercial Fishing in
Waters of Willamette.
OREGON CITT. Or.. Jan. 21. (Spe
cial.) The real sentiment of the people
of Oregon City toward legislation af
fecting the fisheries on the Willamette
River will be developed Monday night
at a mass meeting, which will be held
in the parlors of the Commercial Club
for the purpose of discussing the ques
tion from its various angles and of tak
ing such action as may appear to be
proper to a majority of those present.
The meeting has been called by the
commercial fishermen, but It will be
open for a discussion of both sides of
the question.
There are two bills In the Legislature
affecting the river as to the limits' in
which the gill netters may operate, one
of them being Representative Brown
ell's bill to establish the dead line for
commercial fishing 600 feet below the
fish ladder, which would revert to the
condition that existed prior to the pas
sage of the law enacted by the 1915
Legislature, which placed the dead line
at the suspension bridge, and the other
a bill by Senator John Gill, of Multno
mas. closing the Willamette to commer
cial fishing for two and one-half miles
below the bridge.
The question is always a burning one
here during the legislative sessions,
and was agitated at the annual meet
ing of the Commercial Club Saturday
night, and it was at first proposed that
the club take a hand in the matter and
hold a special meeting to discuss it.
This proposal, however, met with soma
opposition on the ground that any ac
tion taken would be restricted to club
members, while at a mass meeting of
all citizens concerned everyone inter
ested would have a voice and a vote.

LA'E COCSTT MAX SAYS HE HAS
WORKABLE: CONSOLIDATION BILL.

Unless Joint Committee Submit!
Report on Blatter Soon.
EUGENE. Or., Jan. 21. (Special.) A
bill which will take up the whole prob
lem of the consolidation of state boards
and provide for the reorganization of
the administrative department of the
state government, probably will be In
troduced in the State Legislature dur
ing the coming week by Representative
Bean, of Lane County, unless the joint
committee of the House and Senate
working on the subject reports a simi
lar measure for the consideration of the
Legislature.
Mr. Bean declares that he does not
believe that a. satisfactory arrangement
can be reached by attacking the con
solldatlon plan piecemeal.
"Unless the joint committee makes its
report soon I shall introduce a bill
which I have now in process of formu
lation. and urge Its adoption,"' Mr. Bean
stated.
"The problem Is a big one. a complex
one, requiring a great deal of study, but
I believe I have it on a workable basis
I expect to have, the draft of my bill
completed by the middle of the week."
Mr. Bean declared that among the
bills now pending he considered the one
abolishing the Tax Commission and giv
ing its duties to the Public Service
Commission to have a great deal of
merit.

After an experience of 25
years, during which time 50
million Americans have used
Kondon's Catarrhal Jelly, the
manufacturers of this remedy
feel so sure that it will relieve

for a chance to prove its benefit
to any catarrhal sufferer. They
announce that any resident of
this community can go to almost
any drug store and get a com
plimentary trial can at the
expense of the manufacturers.
If the druggist has no gratuitous
packages, the person may buy a
25 cent tube with the unqualified
understanding that if that first
tube does not do that person
more than a dollar's worth of
good, he or she can get their
quarter back from either the
druggist, or the Kondon Com
pany at Minneapolis. Over
35,000 druggists know Kondon's
Catarrhal Jelly is effective,
