THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1JH9. GOVERNOR LISTER 15 IN STATE HOSPITAL Physician Persuades Execu tive to Leave Olympia. . OVERWORK CAUSES ILLNESS lieutenant Goernor Hart Tempora rily Assumes Duties of Office. 1 Bills to Hccoinc Laws. ' OLT31PIA. Wash., Feb. 12. (Spe cial.) Governor Frnest Lister. who has been seriously ill for several "weeks, this afternoon was taken in a steam-heated ambulance from his home in Olympia to the private resi dence of Superintendent AY. X. Keller, t the tVashinirton state hosnital near Tnooma. On formal request of Gov- f'lixor Liater. Lieutenant-Governor Louis F. Hart at once assumed the of fice of acting governor. Dr. Keller, as family physician for Governor Lister, yesterday was called in consultation while on leave from the fnilitary medical corps, in which he has served with the rank of major during the war. He agreed to resign his commission and give the case his immediate personal attention on con dition that Governor Lister consent to removal from Olympia at once, in order to assure absolute freedom from official concerns, and give himself and physician every possible advantage. Governor to Laj Aside Duties As a trip to California was found on further investigation to be inad visable at this time. Dr. Keller insisted that the governor be taken to the state hospital, where he could have every benefit of modern treatment and nursing. Governor Lister's consent to lay aside his official duties and submit to this arrangement was not obtained until late today, when he was finally convinced that it offered his only chance for recovery. It is understood that he was frankly told he could not expect to live more than 10 days under present conditions. . Dr. Keller was with Governor Lister in Chicago when the executive was first stricken last summer and com pelled to go to a sanitarium. The gov ernor has had a losing fight since then to regain his health, due to the fact that he insisted upon remaining at his office the customary long hours and personally attending to executive work. Executive Determined to Mork. The governor was indifferent to med ical advice. For several months he steadily lost strength, until at the opening of the legislature he was tot tering on his feet, yet still determined ' to do his work. As a forced com promise he assented to remaining at his home here, with Dr. Henry Suz y.allo and Attorney-General "W. V. Tanner acting as his advisory repre jsentatatives at the executive offices, ut retained authority over all ex ecutive statements and actions and in sisted upon being closely informed upon all matters outside of routine. Jle was especially active prior to and during the recent general strike, when he personally directed the machinery for providing troops and all other necessary safeguards oC law and order. These exertions are reported to be largely responsible for the governor's present crisis, which amounted last right to an immediately dangerous re lapse. Today, however, the governor appeared cheerfully willing to try to continue work, and the combined ar guments of wife, daughter and physi cians were necessary to induce him to decide, to submit to temporary retire ment. Mrs. Lister accompanied him to the state hospital, and Florence Lister followed shortly. Acting; t-ovcrnor Assumes Duties. Governor Lister's trouble is gener ally stated as a complication of or ganic illness carrying diabetic symp toms, all resulting, it is stated, from overwork and lack of exercise and re laxation. He is 4 8 years old and his t-ix years as governor have been marked 80 Years Old Attributes Health To Internal Baths Mr. D. C.

In assuming the position of acting governor. Lieutenant-Governor Hart issued the following statement: "Knowing that I voice the prayer of all the people of the state in ex pressing the sincere wish for speedy and complete recovery of Governor Lister to his accustomed strength and vigor, I temporarily assume the duties of chief executive at a time when much laborious detail work incident to a legislative session must of necessity prevent me from giving deep and con tinuous study to those grave questions so important to our state in the re habilitation and readjustment of af fairs. "We must all realize that the stu pendous task of preparing to meet those questions and handle them in the interest of the people has undermined the health of Governor Lister and de prived the state temporarily of his sound judgment and well-stored mind." Bills to Become Law. "During the time that I am acting governor, which we all hope will be brief, I shall meet every question fear lessly and so far as I have the knowl edge and ability, carry out the policies and ideas of Governor Lister, so that upon his return to active duty he will find the least possible embarrassment In effecting and perfecting his policies for the happiness of our people and the welfare of the state." Senator P. H. Carlyon, as president been signed by the lieutenant-governor Hart's place in presiding over the sen ate. Sixteen bills passed by the pres ent legislature and already sent to Governor Lister for consideration will probably become laws without execu tive signature, since they have already been signed by the lientenant-governor as presiding officer of the senate and cannot be signed again by him in the dual capacity of acting governor. Gov ernor Lister is not known to have any objection to these bills becoming laws, as he has already approved the impor tant measures in which he was most Interested. The legislature will convene tomor row after recess for Lincoln's birthday. PISCO TO FORM COMPANY SALE OF DISTRICT IRRIGATION BOXDS IS PURPOSE. Committee to Draft Constitution and Articles of Incorporation; Mass Meeting Held. PASCO. Wash., Feb. 12. (Special.) For the purpose of discussing ways and means for solving the irrigation water problem now confronting this community a mass meeting was held here yesterday. City Attorney O'Brien outlined his plan as follows: A company should be organized with a capital of $50,000, the stock to be subscribed by the citi zens of Pasco at $10 a share. A board of directors should be elected, whose duty should be to see that the capital of the company is invested in some securities which would bring the max imum of return on the investment and at the same time assist in the de velopment of the community. Mr. O'Brien explained that consid erable land under the Franklin county irrigation district was to be sold on February 21 for delinquent taxes. It is necessary that these taxes be col lected so that the district can sell its bonds to improve and enlarge its sys tem. The proposed company could purchase the certificate of sale of lands, making it possible for the ir rigation ! district to sell its bonds, which would in turn make it possible for it to furnish water for irrigating lawns and gardens, and as these cer tificates draw 12 per cent interest, it would be a paying investment for the company. This, Mr. O'Brien explained, is only one of the ways the company could assist in the development work of the community and at the same time make a safe investment for the stockholders. It was unanimously agreed that a committee should be appointed to draft a constitution and bylaws and articles of incorporation for such a company. KELSO CITIZEN PASSES J. L.
