(Special.) By a vote of 8 to IS. the
Prnate this afternoon refused to kill
Menator Norton's bill requiring: long
distance telephone companies to con
nect their lines with local telephone
lines. The bill was adversely report
ed by the committee on Industries,
composed of Senators Beach, Kay,
Bingham. Caldwell and Scliolfleld. But
Norton, author of the bill, did not
Quietly accept the recommendation of
the committee. Instead he protested
acalnst the motion to postpone indefi
nitely, and argued that for the relief
of the citizens of Grants Pass and nu
merous other communities where the
telephone service Is inadequate this
bill should be passed.
Senator Kay took a vigorous stand
against the bill, and declared that it Is
an effort to ruin the business of a
long-distance telephone company. He
said that there Is no similarity be
tween branch telephone lines and
branch railroads, for branch railroads
Increase the traffic while the branch
telephone lines merely compete with
the local lines of the company owning
he lonfr-dlstance wire.
Senator Abraham opposed the Nor-
' ton bill upon the ground that the long---distanca
companies already make
agreements with the local Independent
lines for connections. Smith of Uma-
: tiila said that while this Is true, yet
the - lone-distance companies exact
term which amount to a confiscation
of the local lines. He said that the
Guilders of farmers' lines in bis part
. of the state want some such law as
this.
;.-In, cjoslng the debate. Senator Norton
mphas!J!ed the fact that the bill does
not propose to (rive connection without

ry fire bill, carrying an appropriation

vision of the enforcement of the laws

that while this would provide an ap
propriation the benefit of which would

STATE LICENSE BILL SLAIX
Beat's Poolroom Measure Meets Op
position in Lower House.
SALEM, Or.. Feb. 13. (Special.)
Beals" bill Imposing a state license of
a on billiard and poolrooms was killed
In the House last night by Indefinite
postponement, on motion of Campbell
of Clackamas.
Beats resisted the attempt to kill his
bill by contending that It was one of
the very few bills presented during
the session that would provide a means
of revenue to the state. Campbell and
Bean, however. Insisted that the en
actment of the bill Into a law and Its
enforcement would amount to double
taxation and would result In depriving
incorporated cities and towns of this
source of revenue, which was now col
lected in the way of municipal licenses.
The bill further undertook to prevent
minors from frequenting these resorts,
OnDonents of the bill, however, held
that the licensing and regulation of
billiard and poolrooms was now con
trolled by all Incorporated towns, out
side of which there were only a few
such resorts that would fall under the
terms of the bill. The vote for in
definite postponement was decisively
favorable.
EXPEDITE SENATE BUSINESS
Bowerman Plans Clean-up of Over-
dne Bills and Debate Changes.
SAlEM. Or.. Feb. 13. (Special.) Pres
ident Bowerman announced this after
noon that there are a number of
bills that have 'jeen in the hands of
Senate committees more than the seven
days allowed by the rules, and said that
on Monday morning he will call for every
one of these. He also said after adjourn
ment this evening that, beginning Mon
day morning, he will strictly enforce the
rule limiting debate to five minutes for
each speaker and permitting each Sen
ator to speak but once, except that the
author of a bill may close the debate.
This will expedite Senate business.
Let Counties Fix Salaries.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Feb. 13.
(Special.) Senator Sinnott's bill to place
the power of fixing county salaries in the
County Court, subject to referendum and
also subject to the provision that no of
ficer's salary shall be raised or lowered
during his term, is one of the important
measures before the Legislature, because,
if it becomes a law, it will relieve the
Legislature from the flood of salary-grab
bills every two years.
SINNOTT BILL DEFEATED
LIABILITY MEASUHE LOST BY"
VOTE OF 11 TO 17.
I .
Wasco Senator Makes Extended Ar
gument in Support of Measure,
but Vole Is Adverse.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Feb. 13. (Spe
cial.) After spending nearly all forenoon
discussing Sinnott's employers' liability
bill, the Senate defeated the measure by
a vote of 11 ayes to 17 noes. Sinnott made
an extended argument in support of his
bill, showing that it had been amended
so as to eliminate the drastic features and
so that the limit of liability for death Is
J7M0. He declared that the loss of life
should be considered a burden of the in
dustry and that the risk should not be
borne by the employe alone. He cited the
fact that many Eastern States and for
eign countries have adopted similar laws.
Senitor Barrett spoke against the bill,
saying that he had been urged by many
small manufacturers to oppose the meas
ure. Nottingham also opposed the bill.
Senator Oliver said that soon after the
Sinnott bill was Introduced he was bom
barded with letters urging him to oppose
it, but that these letters came from people
who did not know the provisions of the
bill, he said that, after sending copies
of the bill to them to read, he had not
received a single protest. He considered
It a fair bill.
Senator Selling favored the bill as
amended, though he was opposed to the
original bill. Senator F. J. Miller said
that there was no need for this bll; that
no employer needlessly puts his employe
In dangsr; that laborers do not need pro
teotioii from their employers so much as
they need protection from the ambulance
chaser; that this measure would be ruin
ous to small manufacturers and disastrous
to the owner of a threshing machine if
an employe should be killed.
Senator Bingham said that he has been
a laborer for 40 years and that when he
goes home from this legislative session it
will be to take up the work of a common
laborer. He therefore claimed the right
to sp?ak for the laboring man and de
clared that the defeat of this bill would
be a victory for the laborer.
The vote on the bill on the question of
final passage was:
Ayes Abraham. Albee, Bailey, Coffey,
Johnson. Kay, Kellaher, Miller of Linn,
Oliver, Selling. Sinnott 11.
Noes Barrett, Beach, Bingham, Cald

BILL'S PASSAGE
Washington's Governor Seeks
Strong Local Option Action
by State Legislature.
HAY ALSO FAVORS PASSAGE
Senate Not Expected to Conform to
Demand, and Lively Fig-ht Is
Looked For When Final
Action Is Taken.
COSGROVE CRGE9 LOCAL OPTIOX
OLTMPIA, Wash., Feb. 13. (Spe
cial.) Th following telegram waa
received here today:
"Paso Rabies, Cal. M. E. Hay,
Acting Governor: Please extend to the
Speaker and members of the Houn
of Representatives my hope for the
early passage of the local option bill,
and 1 trust that my frlen'te. In the
Senate will assist In carrying this
bill to an ear' and victorious passage.
"8. G. COSQROVE,
"Governor." OLTMPIA, Wash.. Feb. 13. (Special.)
From the sanitarium in Southern
California, where he is seeking to re
gain his health. Governor S. G. Cos
grove Is urging by telegraph the pas
sage by the Senate of the House lo
cal option bill.
In addition to the Influence exerted
by Governor Cosgrove, Acting-Governor
Hay is strongly advocating the
adoption of an effective bill. With
the executive chair certain to be filled
by an ardent local optionist. House
members are now discussing the feasi
bility of rejecting any half-way sub
stitute bill that the Senate may send
back for the McMaster's bill.
On the theory that sentiment in the
state at large is for a strong local op
tion measure, it is claimed that If the
House rejection of a substitute re
sulted in no bill at all the blame
would be placed on the Senate. House
members believe that If effective lo
cal option falls the Governor will
summon an extra session of the Legis
lature. They say that after the Sen
ators have been home for two weeks
among their constituents, after defeat
ing local option, they wfll be willing
and anxious to return and promptly
pass an effective measure. -
Whether such a plan could be car
ried out would rest with the ability
of the friends of the McMaster's bill to
hold together the 51 members who
went down the line for the bill in the
lower House. During the fight in the
House the charge was frequently made
that a number of those found In the
ranks of the majority were voting for
the bill, hoping and expecting that the
Senate would substitute a more liberal
one for it.
The close of the week has left the
exact fate of the McMaster's bill in
the Senate uncertain. It is conceded
by some of the most ardent advocates
of the bill that it cannot pass in Its
present form, and they are discussing
what they are willing to concede. In
the meantime several Senators have
taken advantage of the week-end ad
journment to go home to sound the
sentiment of their constituents, on the
bill, if certain amendments are made.-
The principal concessions the strin
gent local option leaders In the Senate
are willing to make affect the unit
and the time of holding elections. It
is said they would not now oppose, if
such amendments would carry the bill
through the Senate, the elimination of
first-class counties from the county
unit, leaving other counties so con
trolled. In first-class counties they
would want the city to vote as a
separate unit. They would also not
strongly object to having the saloon
question brought up at general elec
tions after the first test, but would in
sist upon the first vote being taken
In a special election.
As when the House had the bill un
der consideration, outside pressure may
oe orougnt to oear on memoersr oy
means of "local option gatherings ad
dressed by noted speakers.
Evangelist Billy Sunday was here
at the height of the fight on the bill
in the House, and there is a likeli
hood that J. Frank Hanley, ex-Governor
of Indiana, who delivered the Lin
coln centennial address here, will re
turn next Monday and speak at a gath
ering of local option- enthusiasts.
Governdr Hanley has been invited to
give his views on local option and the
working of the county unit in Indiana.
It is not yet certain that arrangements
will be made for him to speak on the
subject. If he comes Wednesday he
will find the Senate In the throes of
the conflict, for on that day all the
local option bills presented in the up
per house have been made a special
order of business.
MAY' CLOSE NORMAL SCHOOL
Movement In Washington to Aban
don One at Ellensburg.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Feb. 13. (Special.)
A strong movement Jn favor of clos
ing one of the three State Normal Schools
in Washington started, and Lieutenant
Governor M. E. Hay said today that he is
seriously considering the subject. He may
send a message next week to the Legis
lature recommending that one of the
schools be closed or devoted to purposes
other than Instruction of teachers.
As arguments for the abandonment of
one of the schools. It is claimed that all
the pupils now attending the Ellensburg
Institution could be Introduced at the
other Institutions and furnished room and
board as well, now not allowed students.
and money saved by the transaction.
Figures have been prepared showing
that 48 per cent of the entire revenue
for state general expenses raised by di
rect taxation goes to maintain the Insti
tutions of higher education. The matter
has not yet reached a selection of the
school It Is desired to close and no ac
ceptable suggestions have been made as
to the use the abandoned buildings could
be put to.
The state's Normal Schools are at Kl

will hold the high cards. Perhaps it
will be beaten; that is not Impossible.
But it will be no easy feat. The normals
have many votes. In Eastern Oregon

Their votes are needed for other, ap

men must stand together.

Truly this is a "perfectly awful" outlook
for taxpayers. It signifies plainly that
something must be done by the law-mak
ers on the side of economy. Most con
tpicuous of all the demands is that of the
normals $318,000 and against It there will
surely be a Tight In the Senate. But ehould
the normals be cut off, their wrath will
be immense and strike terror into the
hearts of other, appropriations. The
strongest treasury raid the Oregon Leg
islature has ever seen has been that or
ganized in past sessions by the normal
schools. It has endured the longest and
has triumphed over more vicissitudes than
any other. Is It any wonder that It la
now so sturdy?
TEARFUL PLEA SAVES BILL
SENATE RESCUES MEASURE TO
MAKE DOORS OPEN" OCT.
Is Hurrying ThrougliRoutine When
Senator Parrish Sobbingly De-ex-rified
Silver Lake Tragedy..
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 13.
(Special.) The vigilance of Senators
Abraham and M. A. Miller and a pa
thetic plea from Senator Parrish saved
from defeat this afternoon Representa
tive Farrell's H. B. 98, requiring that
the doors of all public buildings open
outward. When the Senators were dis
cussing the cost of changing doors and
the right of a city to control such mat
ters Senator Parrish rose . an.d with
trembling voice said:
"Tills is a question not limited in its
application to cities, and one In which
cost should have no consideration. Out
on the plains of Southeastern Oregon,
at the little village of Silver Lake,
there stands a monument bearing the
names of 50 men, women and children
who lost their lives in a country school
house on Christmas eve because no
such law as this was upon the statute
books."
As he attempted to give an account
of the terrible catastrophe his voice
broke and the tears streamed down his
cheeks. Between his sobs he pleaded
with the Senate not to defeat the bill.
This plea dispelled all opposition, and
the only question left was that of mak
ing the terms of the bill strong enough
to Insure its observance. Owners of
public buildings will have until next
November to hang their doors so that
they will swing outward.
This bill was reported adversely sev
eral days ago by the Senate committee
on public buildings, composed of Sen
ators Kellaher, jCaldwell and Hart. At
that time the report was unsatisfactory
and the bill was re-referred, lt was
again reported adversely this " after
noon and immediately Senator Kellaher
moved Indefinite postponement. Most
of the Senators were busy, and Presi
dent Bowerman, trying to hurry mat
ters along, was putting the motion
when Abraham and Miller sprang to
their feet calling for recognition. Both
protested against postponement, and a
general discussion followed.
The bill was then favorably reported
by the" committee of the whole and
was sent to the engrossing committee.
It will come up on its third reading
next Monday, and probably will not
have a dissenting vote on final pas
sage. ANOTHER BANK FOR ALBANY

CAItD OF THANKS.
The undersigned take this oppor

many friends who so kindly showed
their svmpathy and extended their aid
during'the last illness of our late hus
hand ami brother. Fred Wilbur Reed.
We desire to make special acknowl

330 to 336 East Morrison Street, there are 442 vehicles that have
been in the store for two years or more. Some things improve
with age possibly vehicles do not, but if the timber is not dry, if
there is any defect in workmanship or material, two years, with
the extremes in climate, will certainly demonstrate it. Perhaps the
finish may be a little dull, but you are guaranteed absolute safety
in the purchase of a vehicle that has stood the heat and cold for two
years and shown no shrinkage or defect of any kind. Some of
these vehicles have cost us as high as $600.00 some of them as little
as $60.00. The $600.00 and $500.00 carriages you can buy for $400
and less some of the buggies and runabouts selling for $75.00 to
$100.00 you can buy for nearly 50 less than these prices, and so on
throughout them all. They are all marked in plain figures, show
ing both the old prices and the new. If you need anything that
runs on wheels, for any purpose, you can buy one of these 442
vehicles at a price ranging from 20 to 40 less than our cost of
manufacture.
There are also 160 sets of harness, some of which have been in
stock two years some of them less. The prices are reduced by
about one-half; you can buy a $50.00 harness for $30.00, or a $25.00
harness for $17.50, so long as our present stock holds out.
You can select a vehicle and make a deposit on it of 25 and
we will hold it for you 60 or 90 days until you want it delivered, or
to responsible parties we will extend credit upon a reasonable pay
ment down, the balance to be paid in monthly installments.
