FROM DAY TO DAY.
Salem, Feb. 25. The Simon house met
today with 13 present, and as it has no
right to adjourn sine die except with an
organized honse.adjourned to 9:30 o'clock
tomorrow. The Davis house also ad-
jorned until tomorrow. How long this
win last is an enigma.
Davis house held two sessions with 27
present, and three absent and excused,
Mitchell and Uirsh have left balem.
Portland's Condition.
The editor of the Grants Pass Courier
writes np Portland, the following being
an interesting part of his article:
Fine buildinps, which a few vears a?o
brought a rental of from $1,000 to to.000
a month now barely earn an income cov
ering the taxes and insurance, and the
class of renters that do remain are of the
shaky and transient order.
The population of -Portland has de
creased fully 25 percent daring the re
cent years of panic, and vacant buildings
meet' you everywhere outside of the
present favored locality, which is build
ing up daily. Fine residences by the
score are empty and tnose remaining oc
cupied are rented at price which hard-
ly more than pays the 30 mill tax this
vear imposed within tnectty ot r ortiand
Last week a f 90,000 residence that was
foreclosed on by the creditors, who now
has an elephant on his hands. This was
the Knapp dwelling, occupying an ele
vated block in the prettiest portion of tbo
citv.
The writer called on Mr. Scott of the
Oregonian. That gentleman was found
in his editorial room in the 8th floor of
the massive building rnd was standing at
one cf the windows looking out upon tte
wilderness ot citv roois that BtreU u out
far beneath to the Willamette river and
beyond, toward MU Hood. Mr. S.. lite
the most of us, feels worried over the
hard times. 'Mr. Pittork and myself
have spent the results of 30 years of hard
work on this building, and now I wish it
didn't exist." Of course advertising falls
of in such times as iheee, and thus a
massive building that does not earn in
terest on its cost looms np all too prom
inently when the assessor cornea round.
Wakts a Divorce. Laura Bill desires
a divorce from Thomas Jefferson Hill,
who h been her husband since the 27th
of February, 1876. they having been
married at Brawnsville, Linn county, on
tl at date. Her complaint is now on file
with the coontv clerk and the case will
be heard by Jndge Hewitt at the coming
ieseion of department o. 2, circuit
court for Marion county. She alleges
that her hu-band deserted her on Feb.
6, 1S96, and has ever since remained
away ftm her. Three children is the
issue of their marriage and ahe asks that
she be named as their custodian and
protector. Statesman.
Ax Awrix Scbkech. The Natron en
gine has been decorated with a whistle.
besides which the common whistle is a
toy. It is a sort of bicye'e develine mag
nified several thousand times. Its
screech would shame the screech of a
panther and when it gels on fail steam
nothing is safe in its neighborhood A
cow will fly to the uttermost parts of the

think they are being called for.
Mr. Chandler Bloom has been in the
city on business today.
Fred Fi$k and Homer Keeney. of the
State University, were in Albany today
on their way to Neaberg.

made the celebrated speech a few days
ag j in the joint session, was in Albany
this noon.
Circuit Judge George H. Burnett left
yester.iay for McMinnviile to visit bis

years old today. The judge, being her
youngest child and only son, will add
much to the celebration of the anniver
sary by his presence. Statesman.
Gardening has begun.

What's the matter o! this weather.
The prospects are good for a big fruit

Clatsnp county taxes are doe. a fact of

Another feature is the refusal of the
Mitchell men to enter eitner the Simon or

THE LEGISLATURE.
The only legal house in erosion Wed
nesday evening was the Davis house,
with the Simon fourteen hanging on.
Before adjourning sine die the Benson
house went through the lorm of provid
ing for the pay of its oilicers. after a long
dispute ana debate on economy, etc.
Quite farsical
A resolution by Somers prov'ded for
the appointment of a committee to ex
amine, correct and approve the journal
of the house at the pay of chief clerk, to
be limited to four days. It passed.
The employee of the senate were voted
the following pay: Chief clerk, $3; as
sistant chiel clerk. 6; calendar clerk,
1 6; reading clerk, $6; mailing clerk, $4;
sergeaut-at-arms. $5; doorkeeper, f5;
three pages for senate and one for eta'e
printer, 2 60,
A hot debate was had on several
amendments.
During the discussion Reed aaid fie
hoped the next session of the legislature
would repudiate all these expenses.
Dufur asked if the clerks should suffer
for the shortcomings of the oenators?
Reed rt plied with lh question : Should
all the farmers', producers and laboreis
of Oregon suffer for the damnable record
made by the members of this senate.

There has been a pretty complete col
lapse. No Pat i moht. Secretary of State
Kincaid refuse lo issue any certificates
to members and otlk-ers of the Benton

The representatives are talking of begin
ning mandamus Droceedtn-a aeainet the
Secretarv.
Next thing to going to sea is to read
the elush written by Corbett and Flu
Simmons from Carson, about what they
are going to do in the 17tu of March fight.
The encounter on that day will be a mild
aSair beside the tongue lashing that is
now in progress. If their conceit con
tinues to be developed as at present their
heads on March 17 will look like the
leaning tower of Pisa. The public needs
to lay in an extra doeeof magnesia to keep
their etomachea in a healthy condition.
Mr. James-E. Banes, a well-known
