I'repurlnsr for Matrimony
Eugene Register.
Judge Fisk is in receipt of a letter from
a young woman living at Cottage Grove
inquiring regarding the adoption of the
little boy left there a few weeks ago byl
its unnatural girl mother. She wants to
know if she can take the child away
without legally adopting it, or if she can
adopt it now and not give it a name till
later. She confesses she is going to Cal
ifornia soon, and expects to marry, and
when she gives the child a name she
wants it to be the name she is to keep.
This is a new procedure, and the judge
Is deeply entangled. It is probable such
arrangements will be made as to enable
the girl to adopt the child, and give it the
name of her husband to be.
Tillamook Wait ''Played."
Tillamook Advocate.
It turns out that our cheap-money joint
rals-representative voted for Weaver for
president, so that while the loyalty of
Tillamook to their ticket last spring Is
rewarded by a bolt this winter, Mr. Guild
has only assumed his true position in ally
ing himself to the populists In -the legis
lature. But we wonder what the Yamhill
people think of the result of their smart
trick on us in the convention.

OILY SPECIAL JAWS
;VO GENERAL I.EGISLATIOX TET AC
COMPLISHED AT SALEM.
Thi Week, Hoivever, Both Houses
Should Settle Dpirn. to "Work
and Shoiv Progress.
SALEM. Feb. 9. Three more unimpor
tant charter bills were approved by Gov
ernor Lord today. Xo general legislation
has yet been reached, so the fourth week
of the session closes with absolutely no
measures of public concern passed by both
houses, and very few passed by either of
them singly. The house has passed 47
bills, most of them town charters. Of
the few general laws, Daly's school-land
bill, Paxton's act in favor of Oregon labor
and materials for public buildings. Pax
ton's repeal of the jute-mill act and Moor
head's provision for verdicts of nine
jurors in civil cases are the only ones of
any consequence, the rest being reforma
tory changes in the code as to civil and
criminal procedure McCraken's pilot
schooner bill and Burleigh's wire-fence
act are of interest. Paxton's bill enabling
the school district to borrow money, and
Beach's, setting out from the city limits
the old school district of St. John's, are of
interest to Portland.
Comparing the work of the two houses,
the senate has passed 41 bills of its own
to the 47 In the house. Each house has
passed eight of the other bills, making-16
acts in all turned over to the governor.
Most of the senate's 4f bills passed are
local measures. The few of general bear
ing are McClungs, authorizing mayors to
bid in delinquent property, Johnson's ex
emption of county roads from taxation,
Johnson's repeal of the jute-mill act, Ban
croft's forbidding sale of firearms to mi
nors, and a few minor amendments to the
code
It has been a week of episodes In the
senate. The stir over the McGinn salary
bill is the sensation of the session, second
only to the first demonstration of the
caucus-bolters. Two events of state con
cern are those connected with the fruit
pest law and The Dalles portage prob
lem. The frult-pest law, which passed
the senate the first of the week, was Cal
breath's, creating a single inspector, and
emanating from the Lownsdale-Clarfce
bolters. Two events of state concern In
the senate during the week are the de
feat of the fruit-pest law and the queer
position In which the senate placed itself
on the dalles portage problem. The fruit
pest law defeated the first of the week
was that of the state board of horticul
ture, and It was lost by two votes.
Through a motion of Alley's to recon
sider, the bill is again pending, and, it
is claimed, will pass by a change of po
sition toward it on the part of three sen
ators. To prevent any such change will
be the purpose of the Lownsdale-Clarke
faction of the fruitgrowers, who are in
terested in the passage of Calbreath's
bill.
The senate's action on the dalles portage
question was contradictory. Against the
vigorous protest of the democrats, who,
led by Rales', were making a strong
fight for Smith of Sherman's bill, requir
ing the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company to carry products around the
dalles, the bill was referred to the ju
diciary committee, and the reference was
accompanied by a rather angry protest
from Smith and King. Coming directly
on the heels of this reference, Denny's ma
jority and Raley's minority reports on the
portage bill of the last session were sent
up and read. Nothing daunted by the dis
aster of the Smith bill, Raley pushed
the claims of the minority report so vig
orously that, by the aid of eight repub
lican votes. Denny's report was snowed
under by the adoption of Raley's. Raley's
report Is a very poor affair; refers to the
government work as likely to take "ages,"
and Is really nothing more than a remon
strance against the majority report,
which, whatever its leaning, at least de
cently covered the topic It essayed to
treat. Tne queer part of it is that the
Smith bill, to which the adoption of Ra
ley's report commits the senate, is in the
hands of the judiciary committee, of
which Denny, the bill's mortal enemy, is
chairman. Likely he will be able to keep
It forever from the light of day, but
Raley Is vindicated in his fight for the
open river, and is satisfied.
Representative Cleeton says his educa
tion bill has been misunderstood. It docs
not contemplate that the board of edu
cation shall select the text books', but
merely canvass the vote, as now, the
work of the county superintendents in
balloting being left unchanged. The per
sonnel of the board, he says, he will
change to meet criticism, having it com
posed of the governor, secretary of state
and treasurer, and others they may name.
Senate bill No. 221, introduced by Hus
ton, makes it unlawful to display the flag
of any foreign country upon any state,
county or municipal building; provided,
however, that whenever any foreigner
shall become the guest of the United
States, the state, or any city, the flag-of
the country of which such public guest
shall be a citizen may be displayed upon
such public buildings.
Senator Dawson's bill for the acquisition
of the canal and locks at Oregon City
provides: Whereas, the state of Oregon
has donated to the Willamette Falls Canal
& Lock Company the sum of $200,000, to
aid in the construction of a canal and
locks, at the Willamette falls; and where
as, it is provided that at the expiration of
20 years from the time said canal and
locks are completed, the state of Oregon
shall have the right to appropriate to its
own use forever the said canal and locks,
upon the payment of the actual value
thereof at the time of taking and appropri
ating the same, which value shall be as
certained in such manner as the legislative
assembly of Oregon may hereafter pre
scribe; and whereas, said period of 20
years has expired; and whereas, it is of
great importance to the people of this
state that the navigation of said Willam
ette river should be free and unobstructed
by tolls or otherwise, and that the state of
Oregon should take and appropriate to its
own use forever the said canal and locks;
therefvore, be it enacted, the state of
Oregon Intends to and does hereby exer
cise the option and the right and privileges
reserved to it by tie act aforesaid, to
take and appropriate to its own use for
ever the said canal and locks, constructed
by the said Willamette Falls Canal &
Lock Company, at the expiration of tjie
said 20 years from the time said canal
and locks were completed. ,
The actual value of said canal and locks
at the time of the taking and appropriat
ing the same by the state of Oregon and
the amount to be paid to the Willamette
Falls Canal & Lock Company therefor
shall be determined by arbitration, the
governor acting as arbitrator on behalf of
the state of Oregon, and the Willamette
Falls Canal & Lock Company selecting
one arbitrator in its behalf, and if they
are unable to agree, then the chief justice
of the supreme court of the state of Ore
gon shall act as the third arbitrator; the
decision of any two of said arbitrators to
be final and conclusive, and the amount
awarded to said Willamette Falls Canal &
Lock Company by a majority of said ar
bitrators' shall be received and accepted by
said company as full compensation for the
taking and appropriating of said canal and
locks. The said Willamette Fails Canal
& Lock Company shall, within 90 days
from the time this act takes effect, select
the arbltratDr on Its part to be chosen
and notify the governor thereof. If said
company shall fall within the time herein
limited to select such arbitrator and notify
the governor thereof, or if such arbitrator
should fall to act. then the governor and
chief justice of the supreme court shall
act as sole arbitrators and proceed to de
termine the amount of compensation to
be paid to sali Willamette Falls Canal &
Lock Company as aforesaid.
There shall be levied annually for two
years, to addition to the state purposes,
for thebrdiaary expenses of state govern
ment, one-half of one mill upon the dollar
of all the taxable prcperty in this state,
for the purpose of raising a fund with
which to pay the money that may be
awarded to the Willamette Falls Canal &
Lock Company for the taking and appro
priating of said canal and locks, which
fund shall be denominated the "canal
and lock fund," and the money so to be
raised is hereby appropriated for the pur
pose aforesaid.

HOUSE BILL NO. 64.
This Is a bill designed to take out of
the hands of the school-lands ring, who
have been operating In lieu lands these
many years, greatly to their own en
richment, upward of 230.000 acres of land
falling to the state of Oregon within the
Cascade forest -reserve. The bill passed
the house on Friday, with only four dis
senting, votes. It created a great flutter
among members of the land ring, who
will try to beat It in the senate. But it
ought to pass, so as to protect the lands
in the reserve against the rapacity of the
land ring. We give the bill in full as it
passed the house:
"That section S597 of the laws of Oregon,
as compiled and annotated by William
Lair Hill, be amended to read as follows:
"Section 1. The governor may appoint
an agent to select all lands donated to the
state by the United States and to as
certain all losses sustained by the state
by reason of the occupancy of sections
16 and 36 by or through the United States
government, and, when such losses have
been ascertained, then to select from the
best timber or other lands owned by the
United States government, lands In lieu
of said sections 16 and 31, occupied by the
government; said agent shall receive as
compensation for such services a sum not
exceeding $1200 a year, and reasonable
traveling expenses, under the supervision
of the governor.
"That all lands in lieu of sections 16
and 36 be and the same are hereby with
drawn from sale for a period of two
years.
"That the board of the state land com
missioners proceed Immediately to ascer
tain all losses which the state has sus
tained by reason of the occupancy of sec
tions 16 and 36 by or through the United
States government, and, when such losses
shall have been ascertained, then to se
lect from the best timber and other lands
owned by the United States government
lands to make good such losses, and to
perfect title to thennto theitate.
"That a list of -sntfar lands so selected
be kept in a book accessible to every one
In the clerk's office of the school-land
board, accurately describing the land for
sale and the land forwhlch it was taken
in lieu. No lands selected under the pro
visions of this act shall be sold for a less
sum than $2 50 per acre, and the board of
commissioners for the sale of school and
university lands and for the investment of
funds arising therefrom may sell any of
said lands to the highest bidder, such
sales to be conducted under such rules
and regulations as the board may pre
scribe. "Sec. 2. That section S319 of the laws of
Oregon, as compiled and annotated by
William Lair Hill, and all acts or parts
of acts in conflict with this, be and the
same are hereby repealed.
"Sec 3. Inasmuch as a large quantity
of this land has been actually occupied
by the United States government as .a.
forest reserve, and requires immediate
attention, and an emergency exists, this
act shall go into effect immediately after
its approval by the governor."

PULPITS AND PEWS
A JfETV SERIES OF SERMOXS
TRISITY EPISCOPAL.
AT
Dr. Locke Will Deliver Another Ser
mon on Thomas Paine At Dr.
Wallace's Church.
At Trinity Episcopal church, beginning
with Septuageslma. Sunday (today), the
rector will at the morning service preach
a course of sermons to meet some of
those questions which while old, are yet
new from the mouths of many serious
persons. The series will be:
1 Why should one be a Christian?
2 Why should one join the church?
3 Why should one be confirmed in the
Episcopal church?
4 What is the use of going to church?
5 Why is the Holy Communion cele
brated every Sunday?
At the evening service kindred topics
will be considered, as follows:
1 Why, when and how baptize?
2 Reasons for being confirmed.
2 Why do Episcopalians use the prayer
book, "get up and down," and do other
things not generally done by Protestants?
4 Church vs. Sect.
5 Why have bishops In the church?
The object of all these sermons will be
both to give information to those outside
the church who have enough earnestness
of purpose to, seek information on these
subjects, and also to instruct anew church
members, and especially those who are
looking forward to confirmation. The
general preparation for the bishop's visit
for the purpose of laying on hands in con
firmation makes the consideration of such
subjects timely. The preacher will en"
deavor to speak to the needs, circum
stances and experience of today, and not
merely recite past facts.
The following is the order of choral
evensong, which commences at 7:30: Or

tion," "Present Tendencies of Modern Civ
ilzation." These sermons will present the
results of the most careful and painstak
ing study, and will embody the best

The new Congregational church at
Sunnyside is nearing completion, the in
side being practically finished. The past
week the sidewalks surrounding the front
and side were built, and the outside of
the church received its coat of "sizing"
preparatory to painting when the church
gets ready to do this portion of the work,
which will not be at present. On the in
side the finish Is plain but tasteful, the
arrangement of the rooms being very con
venient. The building will be dedicated
some time this month.

injury done to the mind and heart by bad
habits of reading. The evil of irregular
mental habits and dissipation will be de

eases" described.

DBS, COPELAHO AND MONTGOMERY'S WORDS OF ADVICE TO SUFFEB1NG INYAUDS
Chronic Diseases Are Now Cured Much More Speedily Than
"Was Formerly Possible, but the Cnange FromSicknass'
to Health Cannot Be Wrought in a Day.
So jnany people of weight and name In
Portland have been coming forward and
testifying to their prompt and lasting
cure of seattd and distressing chronic
maladies through the splendid skill of the
Copeland specialists that less thoughtful
persons have conceived the Idea that the
cure of chronic disease Is merely a mat
ter of a few days' time, like that of re
pairing a brig that has lost a mast, or
mending a wagon that has lost a, wheel.
It is a deplorable absurdity and error.
Nature herself requires a little time for
all great results.
To produce a red apple requires the
nursing of a summer, but you can pro
duce a soap bubble In a second or two that
will look like a globe of heavenly hues
just floated out of a rainbow. But the
apple is something solid and useful, as
well as something lovely in color, while
a soap bubble isn't a reality at all, but
only an evanescent appearance and an il
lusion. And so in nature and In human
life, all things solid and enduring require
time for their creation or accomplish
ment. Now. of all the realities of human exist
ence, the one perfect and all-golden real
ity is that of perfect bodily health. What
are houses and lots to a man who has
cancer of the liver? What is the wide
world and 'all Its fading sweets to one
who ha $ catarrh of the stomach? What
are pleasures and palaces to the consump
tive with the hemlock cold upon his body
and the shroud about his feet?
Dr. Copeland has repeatedly Insisted,
and feels that he cannot too often or too
earnestly insist, that human health must
be religiously guarded as the most pre
cious of the blessings of humanity, but
that once completely undermined by the
glow insidious poisons or slow destructive
operations of disease, it cannot be re
stored in a day that nothing but weeks
of patient effort on the part of the physi
cian, and of patient obedience to direc
tions on the part of the invalid, can ever
result in so great and wondrous a change
as that from the gloom, the sorrow, the
suffering and despair of chronic sickness
to the happiness of established health.

From n Ureiul Disease and Re
stored to n. Life of Usefulness.
Mrs. T. L. Braden, of Mount Tabor, Or.,
formerly of Northern Michigan, speaks
of her treatment with the Copeland phy
sicians. Mrs. Braden has lived at Mount
Tabor for several years and she is well
and favorably known:
"It has been 12 or 13 years since I be
came so bad. My lungs were weak and
they troubled me from childhood up, more
or less in the winter, when I would talce
cold. I have had catarrh for many years.
I took treatment once while in the East,
which relieved me, In fact, nearly cured
me, but I left oif the treatment too soon
and the disease gradually returned. My
family physician and friends told me that
I could never get well. I had an attack
of the grip several years ago, and since
that time I have had more trouble than
before. I had a great deal of pain
through the chest and between the shoulder-blades.
I also had a great many re
peated and severe hemorrhages of the
lungs, which reduced me to a very weak
condition and great debility. My physi
cian told me that If the climate of this
country did not help me, I would die of
the lung trouble. When I would take

THE FRUIT CAUSE HELPED
Horticulturists Mncli Pleased With
Results of State Conventions.
Most of the horticulturists returned to
their homes and orchards yesterday. The
finance and some of the other commit
tees were busy during the forenoon set
tling their affairs. The committee on leg
islation will remain in the city until to
morrow. At the headquarters in the
chamber of commerce building yesterday,
the latter committee received members of
the legislature and other visitors who
called to inspect the fruit display. Sev
eral prominent horticulturists who were
interviewed are as a unit in saying that
the sessions of the state society and the
Fruitgrowers' Association during the past
week were the most interesting ever held
in the Northwest. - More interest and
spirit were manifested, they said, augur
ing well for the future usefulness of these
and other such organizations. Professor
Lake said:
"Many young men are beginning to come
into these organizations, or be present at
their meetings, and it is perhaps possible
that a little new blood will do no harm.
These newcomers generally have young
orchards. They are just getting expe
rience, and they are anxious to be pro
gressive. Regarding the legislation over
which we have been somewhat agitated
in our meetings this week, I was told
today that the bill which we have been
favoring will go through Monday without
further amendment, as was the earnest
desire of the society. The office of secre
tary will not be abolished. The ap
propriation we asked for will be cut down
a little, but we do not mind that. We
are satisfied.
"The work of the board during the four
years it has been in existence has, of
course, been chiefly educational. It has
not had the power to do anything else.
The state has expended some $15,000 along
this line during those four years, and it is
now time to look for some results. Those
results can be attained by giving the
board more executive power and as liberal
an appropriation as possible."
Several horticulturists from various
parts of the state were asked regarding
the general feeling toward the board
among the fruitgrowers of their sections.
Mayor Casey, of Ashland, said:
"Mr. Lownsdale said there was a 'fan
cied imperfection in the law under which
the board is now working. The leading
fruitgrowers of my locality, at their own
expense, employed lawyers some time ago
to investigate that law, and they pro
nounced it weak. The orchard men in my
part of the state have always favored the
board so far as I have ever heard. A
carload of us came from Ashland to at
tend the sessions."
Messrs. Baker and Ed. Smith are large
fruitgrowers of Hood River. Mr. Smith
Is the new president of the society. Both
gentlemen expressed themselves very
much In favor of the board. Mr. Smith
said:
"You may put us on record as saying
that the horticulturists in our section are
in favor of giving the board more pow
er." Mr. J. H. Rees, of Newberg, said: "So
far as I know, the growers of my com
munity are in favor of stringent legisla
tion, and indorse the work of the board."
Mr. A. Holladay, of Scappoose, expressed
much the same views as the others. He
said: "We would be very sorry to be
without the board. It has stimulated our
Interest in horticultural matters, and done
us lots of good in an educational way.
i It should be given more power."

have coughed a great deal, and used to
lose much sleep, but now I have sound
and refreshing sleep, and when I wak.j In
the morning I feel rested. Jfore treat
ment I would be completely tired out and
miserable when getting up in the morn
ing. "I had read in The Oregonian for two
years past of the wonderful cures per
formed by the specialists of the Cope
land institute, so that when a frien-1 rec
ommended my going there to be treated. I
had no hesitancy in putting myself under
their care. The grateful result of that
course is very apparent. My symptoms
have disappeared. I feel so well that it
is a surprise to me. I never tried any
thing that helped me so much as thi3
treatment, and I owe my recovery to the
matchless skill of the Copeland physi
cians." The Copelnnd mcdlcnl practice Is
