Dec 21.—The first step toward peace with the livery drivers was taken this morning, when th»- liveryman sent a cummunicati >u to the union officials asking if they would permit union men to take out hearses at scale, which would be an increase of ,2 per week.

Washington, Dec 21.—In a review of the reclamation surveys in thr West, before the joint meeting of the congressional irrigation committees last Saturday- evening. Frederick H Newell, chief hydrographer. gave out the first official information on the status of the government irrigation work in the different states, in which plans for government irrigation are under consideration. Mr. Newell made some statements which will necessarily be discouraging to Oregon, but which are not conclu sive in determining just what Oregon will get in time, from the lrriga-On iaw of 1902. and the vast fund accu mulated under its provisions. Notwithstanding the fact that Ore gon has contributed more to the na tional irrigation fund than any other state in the Union, it is perfects evident from the explanation made by Mr. Newell that no part of this great fund is to be spent for actual con struction work in Oregon for at leas one year, and perhaps for several ..•ears to come.

N. MURPHY Salem. Dec. 21.—(Special to the East Oregonian.)—The legislature met in Joint assembly this rr-rning at 11 o'clock. a large majority of the member* being present. The gover nor’s message was read to the Joint assembly, It was a brief and point- ed document, stating in succtent terms the reason for calling the spec- ial session, and expressing the hope that the tax law would be remedied and the session adjourn for the sake of economy, as there was no other emergency now before the state. Immediately upon the adjournment of the Joint assembly, after the read ing of the governor's message, both the house and senate took an ad journment until 9 o'clock tomorrow morn ng. out of respect for Repre sentative T. N. Murphy, deceased, of Union county. It is thought that both house and senate will resume business under the old organization, with George W. Brownell as president of the senate and L. T. Harris as speaker of the house. This seens to be the general sentiment among the members, and it is *oo early yet to sound the Judg ment of the members on the length of the session, although it seems cer tain that more than the tax law will t»e considered. The crowd of lobbyist* is unusual ly small today, but this U not saying that it will be small tomorrow mom ing, when the session opens for bus- iness. The general opinion of the genre r- nor's message is that it was an able and earnest plea for economy, and that most of the conservative mem bars indorse his demand tor an early adjournment. Salem hotels are not crowded as much as usual, on ac- count, perhaps, of the genera] benef that the session will be short, and the excitement to 1 be found there will not Justify a visit thia near the ho) idaya. Referendum Discussion, A decision was handed down by Supreme Judge Moore, this noon, aa follows "The initiative and refer endum amendment was legally pro posed and adopted and Is not tn con flict with the provisions of the <x>n stitution and that the question of whether a law is necessary for th. immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety, is conse quently excepted from the operation of the amendment and is a question for the legislature and is not a Judic ial question. Resolution* Introduced. Before adjournment. Representa tive Bilyeu, of Linn county, introduc- i-d a resolution confining all the leg islation considered to the remedy of the tax iaw, and Burleigh, of Wal lowa, introduced a resolution to ad journ on Wednesday, sine die. Both were referred to the committee on resolutions. In the senate, in the brief interval between organization and adjourn ment. Senator Brownell introduced a resolution asking congress to pass the I^ewis and Clark ralr bill Intro duced in the United States senate by Senator Mitchell The resolution waa very exhaustive, and was unanimous ly passed by the senate. State Senator Jay Tuttle, of Clat sop county, was sworn in to fill the unexpired term of Senator Fulton Kx-County Judge G. P Terrell, of Murton county, was elected sergeaat- at arms. There were but 17 senators present al the <»|>ening session ; ! j , Fabulous Prices Ottered by Wealthy People for Hearses and , Riot at a Funeral at St. Procopius Church.
