CONSOLIDATION I 111 Otliers Are Expected to Be Intro duced This "Week and Ways and Means Committee Also Likely to Demand Changes. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 13. (Special.) Every Indication points to the fact that the Legislature means business on the question of consolida tion of commissions and the elimina tion of duplicating features of the work of such boards. Although the joint ways and means committee has been making1 rather rapid progress with the budget, con sidering the fact that but two sessions of that committee has been held, it has been apparent that the members have avoided taking any action whatever as to the appropriations for such boards and commissions as may come In for eomo change In status before the pres ent session closes. A number of bills Introduced already are planned to effect changes in the present administration of some branches of the state affairs, but it Is expected a number of others will come In during the next week. Hints have been made of such proposed measures by various members, but so far the detailed nature of them has not been divulged. Consolidation Is Awaited. The Joint ways and means commit tee Is working with the understanding that it is to have all of Its bills be fore the members within 30 days after the beginning of the session, but the consolidation bills may have soma ef fect on that ruling. It is obvious that the ways and means members will be powerless to determine on their general appropria tion bills with any finality until some sort of a last decision Is made on the consolidation measures. It also is evident that that commit tee Is satisfied there will- be a num ber of consolidations and changes, and Is working accordingly, having its programme mapped out largely alpng those lines In disposing of the matters which come before it In dissecting the budget. Programme Held Vital. Consequently In making up the gen eral appropriation bills that commit tee will- wish to know Just exactly what it will be called on to provide for each board and commission. This cannot be done until the committee knows how each board and commission Is to be constituted. Until such bills are In no definite action can be taken, and unless such bills are well disposed of before 30 days of the session has elapsed the Joint ways and means com mittee will pay no attention to the 30-day rule and will continue with Its labors until it is able to show to the whole Legislature a definite pro gramme to be followed out. Such a programme is considered by the members as being vital in taking Bteps to carry out the provisions of the limitation amendment. So, on the face of the situation, it appears that the two houses must do some speeding up on their consolida tion bills if they desire the ways and means committee to do any similar speeding up on appropriation bills. Committee May Mark Time. It will be necessary for the ways and means committee to handle only such institutions and offices as the mem bers are confident will remain in ex istence and unchanged. After these are disposed of, if the consolidation bills are not ready for committee con sideration in their final form, the com mittee merely will be compelled to mark time until such bills come in, or attempt to go ahead without them. But there seems to be no danger that the committee will attempt to do this, as there seems to be a pretty well defined undercurrent among the ma loritv of the Joint committee's mem bership at least that a number of boards and commissions can be changed without being harmful to the efficiency of administration, and at the same time bring about a proportionate reduction in expense. It is considered safe to say that the committee itself will demand some consolidations and will recommend no appropriation bills which contemplate appropriations for all of the boards and commissions as they now stand. Sidelights of Legislature. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or.. Jan. 13. (Special.) Senator "Wood, of "Washington, chairman of the Sen ate ways and means committee, has a bright son, who is one of the Senate pages. The nig'b.t sessions of committees will begin soon. In fact, some are slated for the coming week. There will be hearings by the ways and means committee and by the alcoholic traffic committees of both houses to frame a suitable bone-dry prohibition measure. Many of the members of both houses went to Portland for tha week-end. The Multnomah delegation of seven in the Senate and 13 in the House, except Lewis, went in a body, and with them went Speaker Stanfleld, Representa tives Ritner, Burdick. Thomas, Ander son and others, and Senators Baldwin and Hurley. There will be one less orator in the Senate this week. Senator Conrad P. Olson went to Portland for the week end and now comes word that he has caught such a cold that he can hardly speak above a whisper. He expects to return Monday, but won't do much talking for a while. It i probable that the new insurance oode will be Introduced early next week. The committee of thai two houses have been holding Joint sessions for the last few days and have carefully gone over the entire code. A hearing will be held on Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock for mutual Insurers and at the same hour on Thursday 'for fraternals. The House proposes to make all bills hereafter introduced conform to the rule adopted at the last session that all new matter shall be printed in italics and matter that is to be stricken out printed in brackets. A resolution by the committee on resolutions in structing the chief clerk to return all bills not bo drawn to the authors was adopted unanimously a few days ago. A meeting of the Joint committee on military affairs is not entirely unlike a gathering at an officers' club. There are Colonel Willett, Captain Orton, Captain- Wilbur and Captain Stafrin. ; besl&a .Representatives TioJaenor.

He will remain here over Sunday. Thomas lives in Medford. FUNERAL TO BE MONDAY BODY OF J. M. NOLAN WILL BE BURIED AT COHVA I.IJS. Well-Known Merchant Waa Native of County KUdare, Ireland, and Res. fdent of Oregon 33 Years. CORVALLIS, Or., Jan. IS. (Special.) The body of J. M. Nolan arrived in Corvallis today from Rochester, Minn., where he died Tuesday of pneumonia. Mrs. and Mrs. Nolan went to Minnesota about the middle of December and De cember 30 Mr. Nolan was operated on t. , m J tfc I 4 The Late J. 91. Nolan. for abdominal trouble. He withstood the operation until the eighth or ninth day, and then contracted pneumonia. Mr. Nolan had been in business here for 32 years. He was born in County Kildare, Ireland, December 18, 1842. When a young man he served his ap prenticeship with a large mercantile establishment in Dublin. While employed at the Dublin estab lishment Mr. Nolan read a book writ ten by Father Farral, "Three Years at the Golden Gate." Mr, Nolan was thus influenced to come to America. He ar rived at San Francisco October 1, 1872, and obtained a position as salesman for O'Conner's silk house. After passing 10 years in California, Mr. Nolan came to Oregon and opened a business at Albany. Mr. Nolan lo cated In Corvallis In April, 1884. He is survived by his widow and two sons, Tom and Victor Nolan, of Cor valis, and two daughters, Mrs. James McCaustland, Spokane, and Miss Ger trude Nolan, of Corvallis. The funeral will be held Monday at St. Mary's Cathollo Church, this city, and burial will be In the Catholio Cem etery here. When Mr. Nolan went East to consult the specialists he feared he would not return and he made the re quest that in case of his death no flow ers be sent to his funeral, but that the money the flowers would have cost be given to charity. OREGON PRODUCT TAKES RICE WITH MILK PUT OUT IS CANS BY AMITY CONCERN. Output la 10,000 to 15,000 Cases Monthly and Big; Ordera Are Received From Allies. Canned rice in milk, ready to eat, promises to become a big feature in the food producing industry of Oregon, and the only factory of this kind, at Amity, Or, has already more ordera than it can fill in 30 days. The patents on the food are held by W. H. Stevens, of the T. W. Stevens Ex. porting & Importing Company of Portland, and S. C. Dunlap, president of the Holly Milk Canning Company, of Amity. The patents for the United States and Canada were taken out in October, and already orders for many thousands of cases have been made by one of the governments of the entente allies. Mr. Dunlap has devoted between three and four years to the study and experiment which led up to the patent ing of the new canned food. The plant at Amity can produce from 10.000 to 15,000 cases a month, and the orders already received are far in excess of those figures. The goods have not been put upon the local markets, and if the demand from abroad continues, may not be put on for some time. Other plants will be developed probably to increase the output, and it is believed that the millt and rice canning industry will become one of the leading food industries in the Northwest.
