"L.YMPIA. Wash.. Feb. 15. (Spe
cial.) With scarcely noticeable oppo
sition the Reed-McCoy first-aid amend
ment to the industrial insurance law
today resisted all attempts at revision
other than approved by committee,
nothing of which materially changes
the bill.
On behalf of opposing labor Interests,
Reid, of Spokane, attempted to attack
a referendum clause, but he was un
able to command the support of 10
members necessary to a roll-call, and
the bill passed second reading in the
House, the amendatory stage, carrying
an emergency provision which will. If
sustained, prevent the referendum be
ing invoked.
Against the referendum proposal,
Mark Reed, one of the authors of the
bill, argued that first-aid relief is
needed immediately by worklngmen
under the industrial insurance act and
that labor interests can amend it by
the initiative at the next election If
they are still dissatisfied with it, which
would be as prompt remedial action as
could be obtained through invoking the
referendum at this time.
Labor Opposes Division of Cost
Labor's principal stated objection to
the act is the provision by which em
ployer and employe pay an equal share
of the cost of first-aid attendance, the
assessments running from one to three
cents a day, according to the class of
risk. The bill goes to third reading
with nearly certain prospects of pass
ing both House and Senate.
Two years ago Governor Lister suc
cessfully invoked the Supreme Court
against an emergency clause he did not
approve of, establishing a precedent
for opposing such clauses on any legis
lation but that demanded for the pub
lic welfare, but it Is generally believed
that the first-aid law will be accepted
by the Governor in this instance as
such legislation.
Sponsors for the pending first-aid
act believe that if it can have a year's
trial it will overcome labor's objection
as well as what fault is found with it
by employers of the state.
,S0r.,470 Road Bill Offered.
State Highway appropriations under
the nilllage levy, introduced in both
Houses today, carry a total of $6,805,470,
of which 3. 942. 01 Is for the benefit of
the permanent highway fund under
which road improvement is authorized
and carried on by counties. Reappro
priation of $1,050,180, unexpended bal
ance, is also made from the permanent
highway fund. The public highway fund
appropriation for 'work carried on by
the State Highway department Is
$1,813,272. .
Coincident with Introduction of the
road appropriations, Nichols and Lan
don. of King, introduced a bill providing
that 35 per cent of all road tax money
collected from cities shall be expended
on arterial highways constructed within
city limits, a measure designed to close
up gaps where state roads are built up
to corporation lines and left uncom
pleted by lack of municipal means to
continue the work inside.
Lewis Wants Bridge.
Introduction of the highway appro
priations clears the way for maneuver
ing by various sections of the state to
Influence favorably distribution of the
money. As a measure along that line,
the Lewis County delegation is already
at work to procure the building of a
bridge across the Cowlitz at Riffe,
where five persons were drowned In
the swift current through a ferry boat
accident since the session two years
ago when the request for a bridge at
this point was denied by the Legisla
ture. These facts were emphasized last
night at a hearing given by the joint
road committees to citizens of Kaatern
Lewis County. The State Highway
Commissioner has made no provision
for a bridge at Riffe this session in the
road budget, but ' southwestern mem
bers are hopeful of arranging a deal
whereby, at least, the old bridge at To
ledo can be removed to Riffe if a con
templated new bridge is built at Toledo.
Competitive Bids Wanted.
Representative E. E. Shields of
Skamania will probably precipitate an
other road committee fight by a bill
he is drawing to compel the state
"highway committee to call for bids on
nil state road work costinjr more than
$5000. This measure is intended to
abolish the force account method of
having the work done, by which plan,
Shields sajrs, thousands of dollars have
beeen wasted in Skamania County
alone. Southwestern support has been
promised Shields for his bill Jn the
House. In evident anticipation of such
a restriction. Landon today introduced
a Senate bill drawn to confirm the
highway commissioners in force ac
count operation.
The Senate today passed the follow
ing bills:
s. B. 34. by I4ncoln Davis To license
corn doctors.
S. B. 67, by Brown Establishing local
improvement district lor county road work.

OUTGREW HER STRENGTH
A fine, tall daughter, the pride of
her parents, may have grown too fast.
If, with her height, ehe is calm, even
tempered, rosy, with bright eyes and
a springing footstep, you have nothing
tr fear for your girl. But this rapid
growth is sometimes gained at the ex
pense of her Btrength. Wayward tem
per, a constant hunger for sweets, head
aches, and a pain in the back and side
after a little healthy exertion mean
that instead of entering womanhood
smoothly and without disturbance, aa
ehe should, she is paying already the
penalty of thin blood. Watch for
moods. Look, after she has climbed a
hill or run upstairs, for breathlessness,
a color that comes and goes, and a
heart that beats fast and painfully.
These mean anemia, and an anemic
girl will never make a healthy, bloom
ing woman. She is bloodless. Let her
have Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. Soon a better appetite bright
pyes, calm temper and fresher color in
lips and cheeks will tell you she is mak
ing new blood. Then all will be well.

MEDICINE VENDORS SUE
ACTIOS STARTED TO OBTAIN EX
EMPTION FRO LICENSE.
Men Selling Patent Componnds From
Wagons Contend They Are Not to
Be Classed as Itinerants.
E. H. Anderson and 33 other vendors
of patent medicines in the state of
Oregon filed suit in the Circuit Court
yesterday ' to determine their invio
lability from provisions of the drug
laws demanding licenses of itinerant
peddlers, or, failing in this, to have the
law declared unconstitutional.
The action is filed against the State
Pharmacy Board, District Attorney
Evans, Sheriff Hurlburt and Special
Agents Scott and Jeffries of the Board,
and follows the recent conviction or
two salesmen in the court of District
J-udge Dayton for selling without li
censes. The cases have been appealed
to the Supreme Court.
The plaintiffs In the action represent
that they sell from wagons and auto
mobiles patent medicines produced by
the J. R. Watkins Medical Company.
They have central depots of supplies in
the state,, are citizens and taxpayers
and therefore, they contend, are exempt
from classification with itinerant ped
dlers of fake nostrums.
Their competition with city and coun
try druggists, grocerymen and general
storekeepers has led to an attempt to
throttle them by the invocation of this
law, they charge.

Dissenting Vote.
APPROPRIATIONS ARE MADE
Clash Over Rogue River Fishing
Bill 'Fails to Materialize and
Sensation of Session Is Agree
ment of Malheur Members.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 15.
(Special.) Somo substantial addi
tions to the state's declining revenues
win be provided by Representative
Eaton's bill, raising the inheritance tax
rates, which passed the House today.
The bill specifies a graduated rate
of taxation on bequests running from
1 per cent on sums of $5000 to 8
per cent on sums in excess of $200,000.
The measure met with general sup
port. Members on every side expressed
themselves heartily in favor of any
plan that would make the people who
inherit large fortunes bear a bigger
share of the tax burden.
Representative Eaton spoke only
briefly. He received a splendid per
sonal compliment and his bill an un
usual indorsement, for the vote was
unanimous.
This was probably the most Im
portant in a. big grist of House and
Senate bills passed by the House to
day. By working until well towards 7
o'clock tonight the House cleaned up
its calendar and avoided the necessity
of holding a night session.
Rogue River Clash Avoided. 1
The expected fight ' over Senator
Smith's Rogue River fish bill, the bill
that precipitated a clash between Rep
resentative Thomas and Speaker Stan
field yesterday evening, didn't de
velop. The bill came up for final pass
age, but Thomas declined to speak
against It. Representatives Gore and
Bel land led the opposition in his place.
Representative Sweeney championed
the bill on the floor. He had the other
Democrats and the Stanfield organiza
tion with him and the rollcall gave
him an easy victory. The bill extends
the season for commercial fishing in
the Rogue River at Grants Pass 45
days in the SSpring of the year.
The House put in a. large part of the
day working on appropriation bills.
Two or three attempts were made to
throw wrenches into the machinery,
but the ways and means committee re
ports were sustained in every instance.
Mr. Jones Wants Curb Placed..
Representative Jones, of Lsie
County, objected to the item of $1800
for the annual salary of E. F. Carlin,
chief clerk in the educational depart
ment, inasmuch as the law allows him,
he said, to "dip over" into the State
Examiner's fund and draw out an ad
ditional $700 a year giving him a
yearly salary of $2500.
Jones and Burton both objected to
the allowance of $1200 to the Htate
Superintendent for traveling expenses.
Representative Goode tried to kill
the appropriation of $40,000 for the
University of Oregon medical school,
but the House refused to sustain him.
Many Appropriations Approved.

form standard for hay, grain and other
farm products marketed through Port
land was passed by the House this
afternoon. It had already passed the
Senate.
Senator Barrett's bill which is In
tended to place nonpatented paving on
a parity with the patented article in
state and county highway construction
was recpnsldered by the House today
and passed.
Senator Huston's bill giving smelter

In the state the right of eminent do
main also was passed. It is expected to
aid in developing the smelter industry
In the state. It prohibits the operation
of a smelter within four miles of a city
of more than 10,000 population and im
poses certain restrictions against the
wholesale condemnation of land.
Senator Pierce's amendment to the
delinquent tax law reducing the rate
of interest on tax -cerfllicates from 15
per cent, to 12 per cent also went
through the House with a big vote.
The House was furnished a pleasant
diversion when Senator Hurley's bill
regulating procedure in serving notices
for the equalization of taxes came up.
Hurley and Representative Crandall
both are from Malheur County. They
seldom agree on anything, but this aft
ernoon Crandall got up and spoke for
Hurley's bill. He said that his sup
port ought to recommend the bill to
the House. The boys must have
thought so, because they gave it a
tremendous vote.

Tibbets for furniture owned by the
Osiers and which was burned when an
apartment-house owned by Mrs. Tib

for Mrs. Tibbets notified the Prosecut

James Haft Born in Year of
Revolution.
CRISIS NOW IS CONTRASTED
Arrival In Oregon Dates to 1852 and
Life Is Passed in Pioneer Ac
tivities, Trail Being Blazed
to Par Remote Regions.
BANDON. Or., Feb. 15. (Special.)
Born during the heat of a war in
which the United States gained free
dom of the seas. James Haft, of this
city, today celebrated his 105th birth
day with the Nation under the shadow
ing cloud of an impending war which,
if it comes, will be brought about by
the same causes as the War of 1812.
Should hostilities occur as a result of
the present state of affairs between
the United States and Germany, he will
have seen Great Britain changed from
the role of enemy to that of an ally
of the United States in conflict against
a common enemy.
Mr. Haft has seen the United States
at war upon four different occasions;
he knows war both from the standpoint
of the soldier and that of "the old.
folks at home." He realises the horror
and terrors of it and is an ardent ad
vocate of international peace, yet he Is
a staunch supporter of President Wil
son and his policy In the present crisis.
From early boyhood Mr. Haft's life
has been that of a pioneer, a life of
hardship and adventure. Born jn West
ern Pennsylvania February IS, 1812. he
started to shift for himself in his early
'teens. Always in the van of the west
ward expanding civilization, he was
among those who fought their way
across the continent, arriving on the
Pacific Coast in 1852. In the Spring of
1853 Mr. Haft settled in Scottsburg,'
Douglas County, then a hustling min
ing camp, and distinguished himself as
a scout in the Indian wars of that and
the following year.
With peace established between the
Indians and the whites, the miners,
who heretofore had moved about in
strong numbers for protection, began
to spread out in search of new claims
and Mr. Haft became known as "Jim"
Haft, packer. His pack trains of mules
and horses became familiar sights in
all of the principal mining centers of
the coast: he guided them over the
trails from Scottsburg to Crescent City
and Yreka, Cal., eastward Into and
back through Washington and North
ern Oregon. Into the Florence region,
on the lower Umpqua River, and other
more remote sections, he blazed the
trail followed by the first white set
tlers. The packing business died, how
ever, with the gradual death of mining
(with farming, stockralslng, dairying
and lumbering came the railroads and
steamboats, a form of competition too
efficient for the packmule) and Mr.
Haft took up ranching In Northern
Curry County, where he remained unUl
coming to Bandon a year ago.

cording to the decree. There were no

Feel Achy
To ache all over in damp weather
or after taking cold, is not natural
and should be taken as a warning that
something is wrong. In many cases it
Indicates kidney weakness.
When the kidneys are weak and uric
acid is too plentiful in the blood. It
often causes queer aches, pains and
other disturbances.
Rheumatism is a common name for
such pains, and when there is also
backache, dizziness, headache, nervous
ness, and urinary disorders, it's time
to suspect kidney trouble.
Try Doan's Kidney Pills. They gen
tly stimulate the kidneys and make
them more active In filtering the blood.
Portland people vouch for Doan's.

needed something to build up my sys

and I felt all out of sorts generally. I

their good effect. They acted as a
tonic and built me up so that I felt I

really cured her, lor she no longer has
periodic pains, and no more headaches
or backache, and I want all young girls

I was eleven years old until I was seven

to be in bed. I had headache, backache
and such pains I would cramp double
every month. I did not know what it
was to be easy a minute. My health
was all run down and the doctors did
not do me any good. A neighbor told
my mother about Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and I took it,
and now I feel like a new person. I
don't suffer any more and I am regular
every month." Mrs. Hazel Hamil
