y NEW BILLS
ALREADY PROPOSED
Next Session of Legislature
Is in January.
BLUE SKY CHANGES UP
Better Protection for Stock and
Bond Buyers Is Declared
to Be Necessary.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.)
Althougn the next regular session
of the Oregon legislature will not
convene until January, state offi
cials, state departments and super
intendents of the state institutions
already are working out in their
minds various bills which will be
submitted for consideration of the
lawmaking body.
Important among the legislative
enactments to be requested will (be
several amendments to Che present
blue sky laws of the state. T. B.
Handley, state corporation com
missioner, has indicated that the
blue sky laws now in operation are
inadequate, and that numerous
amendments are necessary if in
vestors in stocks and bonds are to
have the protection to which they
are entitled. This legislation will
be remedial in character, Mr. Hand
ley said, and will be directed par
ticularly at non-resident corpora
tions and stock-selling organize
tions which are increasing rapidly
Dunking Amendments Wanted.
The state banking department
also will have a number of amend
ments for consideration of the leg
islature. Frank Bramwell, state
banking superintendent, in a recent
report, declared that the present
banking laws are lame, and that
"tightening up" "process is necessary
to guarantee protection to depos
tors and Investors. Although re
fusing to divulge the nature of the
proposed legislation, Mr. Bramwell
said he 'had discussed several bills
with members of the state banking
board and that they are agreeable
to a number of drastic changes.
Bills to be offered by the state in
dustrial accident commission, if ap
proved by the legislature, will ex
tend the scope of operations of that
department and make it easier for
the smaller industries of the state
to come under the workmen's com
pensation law. Whether there will
be a downward revision of the
charges of the commission for pro
tection has not yet been determined
by the commissioners. During the
last year, the accident commission
has sought to interest farmers and
other rural industries In the protec
tion offered by the compensation
act, and it is likely that the pro
posed legislation will hold out nu
merous inducements to this class of
business.
The state eugenics board already
has announced that it will have a
bill before the legislature looking
to the passage of a law to replace
the one which recently was declared
unconstitutional by the courts. The
so-called old eugenics law, under
which the board operated for a
number of years, was attacked in
the courts a year ago and was held
to be unconstitutional by Judges
G. G. Bingham and Percy Kelly.
Appeal then was taken to the su
preme court, with the result that
the decision of the lower court was
affirmed.
Revision of the present motor ve
hicle license laws, based on the age
of cars, as well as their weight and
tire width, also probably will re-
ceive the attention of the legisla
ture Motor vehicle owners are not
satisfied with the present license
laws, it was said, and hate de
manded that the age of ears, be
taken into consideration by offi
cials. At the present time no allow
ance Is made for old cars, which are
compelled to pay a state . license
equal to those fresh from the shops.
Training: School Site Sousht.
The legislature also probably will
be asked to provide an appropriation
with which to purchase a site for
the proposed new state training
school for boys. Money for the erec
tion of this plant was made avail
able by the legislature at the 1921
session, but because of objections to
the tentative site selected by the
board of control, actual construction
work was postponed. Officials said
that approximately 300 acres of land
will be required for this institution.
The plant will cost approximately
$280,000 and will be erected under
the cottage system. Most of the pro
posed new laws to be sought by state
institutions will relate to the han
dling of their charges.

A shower of money from the skies
created a riot of fun at Columbia
beach yesterday when hundreds of
persons, both young and old, joined
in the scramble for the envelopes as
they' were cast from the window of
the- dance hall onto the beach.
For more than half an hour the
struggle raged and the throng of
children, flanked by men and wom
en, swept to and fro in. the effort
to get under the wind-carried, mon
ey. Among the little ones there
were several casualties in the way
of ruined tempers, but nothing
more serious.
A few of the men lost hats and
were a bit imissed up, but the soft
sand made the tussle both safe and
amusing.
Bathing attracted a large num

and where the dancing and skating
drew large numbers of merry-mak
ers. Much of the popularity of the
new pavilion was said, to he due td

As the season at the beach is
drawing to a close, the management
is planning several momentous ex

remain. It is probable that one of
them will include the transfer of

BROWNSVILLE, Or., Aug. 20.
(Special.) Funeral services for
Aunt' Eliza, last of the Calapooia
Indians, were held today from the
Starr undertaking chapel," with Rev.
W. P. Elmore officiating. She died
Friday nigfht at the home of Johnny
Moore fn this city. Some pioneers
estimate her' age to have been in the
neighborhood of 100 years. She had
been blind for many years and de
pendent upon thecounty for sup
port. She was interred in the
Masonic cemetery by the side of her
two dhildren, Susi Indian and
L. Bi Indian.
Eliza's father was a full-blooded
Calapooia brave, living on the Cala
pooia river in the upper valley. He
wandered south into Lane county,
where he found his bride, and it
was there that Eliza was born. Her
parents died when she was a small
child and was for a time virtually a
slave in the camps of anotftier peo
ple. She ran away and was taken
in and' cared for by Jacob Spores
and wife at what is now Coburg.
Eliza, in search of her fathers
people, ran away from Spores' ferry
to Brownsville. She was iust en
tering into womanhood when the
Blakely-Brown-Kirk emigrant train
arrived at the old ford on the Cala
pooia. It was understood that sine
was cared for at a very early day
by the Kirk family.
But she slipped away and went
into the southland again and there
was married to a Mohawk, brave.
This man drank incessantly and
beat Eliza unmercifully. She fre
quently ran away. At length Cal
apooia Jim with the assistance of
Riley Kirk bought Eliza. Jim ihad
been raised by Kirk since the for
mer was 12 years of age.
Calapooia Jim later was killed in
brawl. Eliza supported herself
t long as she could by - making
baskets, but eventually went blind.
The county then placed her in a
good home, where she was at the
time of her death.

Mr. Gurchison did not know any
thing about the world war until re

finement- for 11 years and his body
is full of scars inflicted by the war
dens. His age is given as 29 years.

cles that the men will be caught, due
to the bullet wound received by one
of the pair in the course of the gun

the wounded bandit will either die
or be forced to seek medical aid is
the opinion of the officers. '
The report that a wounded man
was seen near Carson, Wash., was
thoroughly investigated. No definite
information on which to base a fur

times in the course of the fight, is
reported to be improving at St. Vin
