THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN,' PORTX AND, NOVEMBER 21, 1920 '

Members of Both Houses Expected
to Introduce Bills at Sext
Session of Legislature.
A phonograph with an. unusually
sweet tone has just been perfected by
C. P. Henkel of Henkel Sc. Co.. 860
Williams avenue, and the work of
manufacturing the instruments has
been started. Mr. ilenKei hopes in
the near future to have a large plant
in operation, employing: a number of
men.
The special feature of the instru
ment is a wooden horn about five
feet Ions concealed in the interior of
the cabinet. - This horn is curved in a
special manner and gradually expands
to -the "bell." It Is the special con
struction of this horn which is said
by the inventor to make for the qual
ity of the tone of the new instrument.
A patent has been applied for by the
inventor on the plan of the horn con-.
struction. . J .
Mr. Henkel has been working lor
a year in perfecting the phonograph,
and conducted a number of experi
ments, his plan being to eliminate all
metallic sound rrom the tone. ne
new phonograph is the result of these
experiments. .
So far but three of the phonographs
have been manufactured, two in the
"period" design and one cabinet in
strument. Mr. Henkel has just started
on the work of turning out a "dozen
more of the cabinet instruments.
The wood used in the construction
Is spruce. Every effort Is made to

There Is a possibility that Oregon
may have a fourth representative in
congress, depending on what con
gress decides to do in the way of
a base quota on representation. In
anticipation of euch an increase the
matter will be of no little importance
'when the legislature is in session at
Salem.
The legislature is the body which
arranges the districts so that enough
population will be included in each
to Justify a representative in con
gress. There are now three districts,
as follows: First district, represented
by W. C. Hawley, Benton, Clackamas,
Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Doug
las, Jackson, Josephine, Lane, Lin-(
coin. Linn, Marion. Polk, Tillamook,
Washington and Yamhill: The second
district, represented by N. J. Sinnott,
consists or -Baker, Crook, Deschutes,
Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Hood River.
Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, Malheur,
Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Union,
Wallowa, Wasco and Wheeler. The
third district, represented by C. N.
McArthur, consists of Multnomah
alone. -Many
to Frame Bill.
In the. legislature are a number of
senators and representatives who
have a desire to serve their state in
the halls of congress and each of
these will probably have a bill ready
to introduce redisricting the etate so
that be will have an advantage.
Of course, in making up the four
districts it must be necessary, U the
time, to group enough counties to ob
tain the necessary quota of people.
What the quota will be is at present
a matter of suess work. Congress
probably will not decide this matter
until after the legislature adjourns,
but the legislature can make up the
districts on an approximate basis and
if congress grants an additional rep
resentative to Oregon, well and good,
otherwise the redisricting will be of
no avail.
Sinnott Probably "Will Win.
Representative Sinnott is con
sidered as able to be re-elected from
the eastern Oregon district as long
as he wishes to remain in congress;
a fact which places in cold storage
the ambitions of a few other republi
cans of that section. Feeling that the
people will prefer Sinnott to any other
candidate, because of his long serv
ice and important committee positions
in Washington, there is a plan on
foot to cut up Sinnott's district.
One proposal is to take Hood River
and Wasco counties away from t the
second district and combine them with
Multnomah county, exclusive of Port
land, Columbia and Clatsop counties.
This would cut off 16 of the 18 coun
ties now in Mr. Sinnott's district and
would give aspirants from Umatilla,
Crook and other eastern Oregon coun
ties a chance to run without con
tenting an election with Mr. Sinnott.
Move to Defeat Sinnott.
As such a plan might be resented
by the supporters of Mr. Sinnott
throughout the second d'strict, the
men who are most Interested in eliml-
can run have no intention of sponsor- acfrdnf to tn,9 ,6taterae"t
ing the measure themselves, but figure
on having the bill come from some
other part of the state. The measure,
in effect, would make Mr. Sinnott
seek re-election in counties where he
is known only by reputation.
' Another idea buzzing in the mind
of at least one member of the house
is to create a new district out of Mult
nomah and a few adjoining counties
west - and possibly south, but not
touching any of the present second
district counties. Then there is the
plan of Senator Norblad that a new
district should be composed of what
he calls the maritime counties, those
along the coast. Senator Norblad
argues that the coast counties have
identical interests, as their resources
of fish, timber and dairying are the
same, and that they all need harbor
Improvements.
Ten Have Eye on Congress.
There are approximately ten mem
bers of the state senate and house
who havo an eye on congress, and
with these conflicting ambitions there
is no telling how the fourth con
gressional district may be formed, or
where.
Congress meets December 6 and an
- effort will be made to work out the
reapportionment because the state
legislatures meet in January and the
same problem which confronts Ore
gon will confront most other states.
There is no assurance that congress
will eolve the reapportionment prob
lem before the Oregon legislature ad
journs. The present basis of repre
sentation is 211,377 or major fraction.
The 1920 census gives Oregon 783,285,
which would enable the state to
squeeze in four representatives.

Some of the Infants gave evidence
of slight digestive disturbance for
more than a month as a result 'of
failing to .digest their food properly.
Saturday, November 13, according to
Dr. Bilderback, one of the smaller
children suddenly became . danger
ously ill and died 24 hours later. An
autopsy ' was requested from Drs.
Benson and Mexine. of the University
of Oregon medical school to ascer
tain the exact cause of death as a
means of protecting the other chil
dren, it being feared that the death
had been caused by a dysentery in
fection such as swept the institution
in 191.
The autopsy, however, showed
death to have resulted from broncho
pneumonia. Cultures were taken
which showed that dysentery infec

the city, for it Is a fact that most
travelers bear away with them an
impression based uprn the comfort

E. C. Batten, executive secretary of
the Old Colony club, arrived in Port
land yesterday to attend the openfng
of thi3 latest addition to Portland's
club life. The Old Colony club, an in
ternational organization, will formal
ly open its branch in this city to
morrow. ADOUf 4UUU equa.e '
floor space has been leasea on me
mezzanine floor of .-the Multnomah
hotel by the organization and re
modeled to conform to the require
ments of the club. About 300 busi
ness and professional men of Port
land are members.;
To those who are familiar with the
scope of this international organiza
tion, the coming of the Old Colony
club to Portland is an event of im
portance. When it is known that
through the organized service of Old
Colony more than 15.000 of the im
portant men of affairs of America
and Kurope are provided with similar
quarters in the leading cities of the
world, and that Portland thus takes
its place, on the map of "big busi
ness," the enthusiasm of-those inter
ested in Portland's progress is justi
fied. A further reason for congratulation
is that those In charge of Old Colony
affairs have seen fit to make Port
land the second city in the coast
chain of clubs. The San Francisco
quarters were opened on October 1,
in handsome rooms on the main floor
of the St. Francis hotel, the first
activity of the organization west of
Chicago. The Los Angeles quarters
have been secured tn the Alexandria,
to be opened shortly after the first
of the year, and It is the intention
to extend the organization within the
next few months to Vancouver, B. C
and Seattle. Wash.
The Old Colony member coming to
Portland will thus be assured not
only of handsome and dignified guar
ters where he may spend his leisure
hours, receive hid business friends,
transact his business with the facili
ties of his office, lunch in bis own
private dining room, and dine there,
too, if he desires, but the organization
will see that his atay in Portland is
made pleasant for him by serving
mm in a multitude or ways. His the
ater tickets will be secured for him;
