The committee is now working on a substitute for Senate biH 19, also by Barrett. The committee's measure probably will provide for consolidation of the Labor Commission, the" Indus trial Accident Commission and perhaps the Industrial "Welfare Commission, al though these details are not all worked out.

Or., Jan. 23. (Special.) Deschutes County won its fight for legal existence by a decisive vote in the House this morning, but not until after Forbes and Burdick. representing that county, had indulged in a family quarrel over the issue. Forbes is author of the bill, which aims to validate the election of last November, when Deschutes County was carved out of a portion of Crook Coun ty, and Bend was established as the new county seat. Forbes lives in Bend. That city went strong for the new county. Burdick lives, in Redmond, a district which cast only 94 votes for the new county and 471 against it. Burdick based his opposition on the fact that the validity of the - recent elections now is being contested in the courts, and that a ratification act by the Legislature would deny the courts the right to decide the question. . Other members took occasional part in the debate, but the principal con troversy was betw,een Burdick and Forbes, who- are seatraates and "Who have been working like Damon and Pythias on all other questions affect ing their district. The measure carries an emergency clause. CASCADE HEARING IS SET estacada and oregon city to debate: before: committee. Delegations Are 4s Be.

OLYr.lPIA DRY BILL SET FOR TOMORROW Woman Legislator Loses Her Fight for Delay Till After Hearing. SCHOOL PACT REPORTED Military Highways Favored by Samuel Hill Are Asked of Congress. - Referendum. Still Is Vrgcd on Dry Measure. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Jan. 23. (Special.) Today's developments in "bone-dry" lav agitation demonstrated that there is only one question over the Halsey bill, and that is simply one of whether it shall be referred by the Legislature or pass as an ordinary statute. Bone-dry advocates who oppose a referendum clause aree confident that they will not. encounter moret than 20 per cent opposition in either House, but referendum- advocates are still busy and may succeed in delaying passage or the bill through the Senate. Representative Halsey, who is steer ing the bone-dry bill - in the House, reports a safe poll of 65 out of 97 for the bill as it stands. Woman Loses Move for Delay. This strength was sufficient today to force the bill out of the public morals committee and into the House with a favorable report, despite the objection of Representative Ina P. Williams, .chairman of the committee. She wished to delay further action until after a public hearing scheduled for today, and when the bill was reported and assigned for the Thursday calendar the open hearing was held notwithstanding. Nothing more conclusive developed from a long list of voluntary speakers than a division of sentiment ovez whether a referendum by legislative action is desirable. Compromise la Reported, Variation was added to the fast gathering sTruggle between the State University and State College today , by a report that-university supporters in the Legislature are drawing a substi tute bill to be offered as a compromise. In this. "It is understood, the only courses removed from the State Col lege wtil be forestry and architecture, and every-effort will be made to safe guard as much milk ge tax increase as possible. Sentiment of both houses is now generally accepted as immovably aguinst imposing nearly a mill increase as originally planned. Pullman Firm in Stand. Whether the two institutions can be reconciled on a basis of each getting the-' best possible increase of funds seemed doubtful tonight, as State Col lege forces maintain they will surren der any Increase rather than a single course of study. The Senate passed Senate bill No. 32 by Cox of Walla Walla, which provides for distribution of jute bags made at the State Penitentiary to grain, oyster and "woolgrowers on a basis of county population. Another bill passed by the Senate appropriates $8800 to enable the State Public Service Commission to co operate in the Federal revaluation of railroads in this state. 127,2 19 Asked for Roads.

Another Senate memorial asks for the construction of a military SIDELIGHTS ON STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 23. (Special.) The Senate this morn ing had the pleasure of hearing one of the briefest but most eloquent prayers yet delivered before that body. The prayer was made by Rev. ' George Frederick Holt, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Salem, and it was only one minute In length. Senator Samuel M. Garland told Rev. Mr. Holt that the prayer was one of the most poetic and eloquent he had ever heard. Senator Huston was another who con gratulated the minister. Senator LaFollett, of Marion County, hasn't introduced a single bill, resolu tion, petition or memorial this session. That doesn't mean he is not on the job, for he is one of the hardest working and most conscientious members of the Senate. He is a firm advocate of economy; and never loses an oppor tunity to speak out his mind on the subject, no matter who he hits. Sen ator LaFollett is also famous for the big red apples he distributes. Senator Eddy, Joint author wltlT Rep resentative Anderson of the Anderson Eddy bone-dry prohibition bill, is one of the most finished speakers in the Senate. He speaks forcefully and care fully and stops when he gets through, which is something that not all Sen ators do. - The Senate clock Is once more In ac tion. When the sesKion opened some carpenters were working on this clock with hammers and saws. After they got through with it the poor clock didn't, know what to do. ?Jow it has regained its customary aplomb . and grinds out the hours as of yore. Mrs. C. A. Barrett, wife of Senator Barrett, is an enthusiastic stamp col lector. She has several thousand postage stamps of all countries. A welcome visitor to the House to day was Oscar W. Home, who was a member at the last session. He is in Salem to attend the convention of the State Federation of Labor. John Schroeder, chief clerk of the ways and means committee, was called back to Oregon way from Calexico on the Mexican border to keep an eye ou the indicator of state expense. He was here two years ago in the same capacity and served so well that the members wanted him back. This is a much more difficult session than any pre ceding for the clerk of that committee, but it doesn't phase John. He is a shark at figures and he can tell you highway from the British Columbia to the Mexican border. Both projects are advocated by Sam Hill as a measure of preparedness. Representative Albert Johnson, of the Third District, is a strong advocate of the Vancouver-Canby Highway. Washington Sheriffs who meet In state convention at Olympia tomorrow will ask the Legislature for a ciassined increase of salaries. If granted Grays Harbor. Lewis.

The Senate fisheries committee to day voted a favorable) report on the Steiner bill to repeal the Washington Oregon agreement on Joint fishing reg ulations for the Columbia River.- The committee report will come into the Senate tomorrow. Senator Steiner says that while he approves of joint regulation on the river and has no objection to the terms of existing agreement, he objects to it becoming indefinitely binding, in the fear that it may make additional re strictions impossible through inability of the two Statue Legislatures to agree to alterations. Senator French, of Clarke, is still confident that the pro posed repeal will be defeated. In joint session tonight House and Senate military committees voted a favorable report on the Zednick bill, which provides compulsory military education in high schools, the course requiring not less than two hours weekly. Bills facilitating the condem nation, of the American Lake maneuver camp site are included in the favorable committee report. NET FISHERS BACK BILL BROWNELL MEASURE IS WANTED, MOVING DEADLINE. Attack on Administration of Gai Laws la Made by Several at Oregon City Meeting. OREGON CITY. Or., Jan. 23. (Spe cial.) A. compromise with the hook and line fishermen, who want to close the Willamette to net fishing, will not be considered by the Clackamas County Fishermen's Union.. The organized fishermen of this county will appeal to the Legislature to open the river to the old deadline near the fish lad der, as provided in a bill Introduced by Representative George C. Brownell. To represent the fishermen before the Legislature, the following were se- lected last night at an open mass meet ing and later at a meeting of the fish ermen's union: Joseph E. Hedges and B. T. McBain. of the Commercial Club, and T. R. Haines, Charles Gates and Anton Naterlln, of the fishermen. H. Leighton Kelly explained the habits of the salmon and suggested changes in the seasons, which, he thought, would benefit both angler and net fisherman. Several declared that when net fish ing was at its height, and as much as 200 tons of salmon was taken from the river in one season, the hatcheries could get all the eggs they wanted, and the anglers' sport was not reduced. Others pleaded for the preservation of an industry that brought to Oregon City about $30,000 annually. Mr. Kelly suggested that Portland sportsmen pay less hjed to the Willam ette just below the falls and try to cut the politics out of the administra tion of the state fish and game laws.) ie said, mat ne was mucn opposed iu moving the deadline further down the river, and that to close the Willam ette here to net fishing would be to cause hundreds of tons of salmon to go to waste each year. J." E. Hedges. ex-State Senator, ac cused the fish andsgame administration of playing politics. Bill Aimed at Junk Thieves. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Jan. 23. (Special.) Two bills passed by the House this morning are aimed to prohibit the illegal sale of railroad iron among Junk dealers. One would make the unlawful purchase and receipt of railroad iron and equipment a misde meanor; the other would make the LEGISLATURE out of his head just what is going on.
