Chicago. Travelers, desirous of se

will have either to make full pre

time reservation .is made or wait
until the time of train departure and
take their chances of securing space,
if a plan being considered by the
western railroads is put into effect.
At .a meeting just held by the
heads N of .the passenger traffic de
partments of the largest lines in the
west, the matter was Kiven consid
eration, and definite action upon it
postponed only because the new Pull
man rates are to go Into effect on
February 1, and the passenger traffic
officials decided to defer final consid

have been issued.
It is asserted that the railroads
now labor under a great incon
venience and unnecessary expenses
because of lax regulations surround
ing the manner in: which sleeping
car reservations can be made.

itentiary and create a Stato Highway
Commission. These are the moves
carried in two bills that passed tho
senate this afternoon after a pro
longed fight.
Something of tho conflict was pre
saged when McCulloch of Baker, ob
jected to creation of a State Highway
Commission, as Joseph s Senate Bill
Nn. 42 came up for consideration.
This bill was passed upon favorably
by the senate, Tuesday, while sitting
as a committee of the whole to hear
the pleas of men representing 300
leading Portland citizens. Then only
eight votes were recorded against It.
Passage of the measure was thought
to bo comparatively easy today until
unexpected opposition appeared.
McCulloch declared that from the
sagebrush country In Eastern Oregon
there had come down tho line the
word that they do not want tho High
way Commission, and that he would
be compelled to vote against It.
Rigid and thorough Investigation
of the affairs and management of the
Oregon State Insane Asylum was
ordered by both the senate and the
house In resolutions adopted today.

two from the senate, while the house
provided for a special committee of
five of Its own members to conduct
the Inquiry.

tigating committee to make a report
of their findings to the legislature
prior to adjournment.
Unless the two houses get together
and decided on a Joint committee It
Is possible an Investigation may be
conducted by two separate committees.

Salem, Jan. 23. Numerous hills to
hedge in olllcials at stato Institutions,
resolutions calling for investigation
of stato establishments from soparato
Investigations of tho asylum and tho
office of Insurance commission to a
resolution, sweeping in its naturo
and covering all of the stato Institu
tions and officials, wero features In
both houses today.
They marked a continuance of tho
sentiment which has been expressed
forcibly that lavish expenditure and
extravagance have marked tho con
duct of affairs at tho asylum and
that there Is a possibility of further
Instances of this being unearthed at
other Institutions.
Senator Wood introduced several
bills covering state institutions.
They have as their end In view tho
complete elimination of possibility of
future deficiencies and would change
tho present system of expending pub
lic money for public Institutions.
Dlmlck introduced a hill requiring
that the secretary of stato shall mako
a personal inspection of every vouch
er drawn and every warrant paid and
that such shall be signed by him per
sonally.
One of Woods' bills makes It un
lawful for any trustee or officer of
any state Institution to allow a de
ficiency to be created. Such de
ficiency, the bill recites, must be re
paid personally by tho trustco re
sponsible or by his bondsmen. An
other of Woods' bills provides that
no warrant shall be drawn by tho
secretary of state unless nn appro
priation has been made therefor, nor
shall any nccount bo audited and or
dered paid unless tho appropriation
covering tho same has not been exhausted.
Salem, Ore., Jan. 21. An anti
trust law, which Is intended to hit all
combinations In restraint of trade,
was Introduced In the senate yester
day by Joseph of Multnomah and
may loom as one of tho largo meas
ures of the session. It has been
carefully drawn, being on tho lines
of the California law, which has been
an effective instrument In suppress
ing combinations of retailers In thnt
state.
Ice trusts, grocers' combinations,
plumbing combines and other similar
organizations have boon sent to
cover by the California law.. Tho
law covers all combinations having
for their object tho Btlfllng of com
petition. Venders of drugs nnd nostrums
will bo hard hit If a bill presented
by Barrett of Washington in tho
senate is passed. Thursday ho In
troduced a bill which will mako the
license easy for country peddlers.
The drug vendor hill, which was In
troduced by request, goes to tho
other extreme, Imposing tho pro
hibitory fee of $100 per month.
Barrett also introduced a bill to
legalize tho making of deposits of
tho state school fund in banks. This
Is understood to bo favored by tho
stato treasurer.
Calkins of Lane Introduced a bill
making tho saloonman responsible In
damages to tho wlfo or other near
relative through sale of liquor to an
habitual drunkard.
Malarkoy'B bill removing the flvo
day limit allowed to a purchaser to
record a conveyance was passed by
17 to 8 after a debate In which tho
lawyers disagreed. Malarkoy con
tended that this would enable a pur
chaser to know hlB title was good
when he bought, as tho conveyance
first recorded would bo tho ono roc
ognlzed. Abraham, Joseph and Not
tingham opposed Uiobo views, while
Sinnott, Barrett of Washington and
Calkins agreed with them.

Growers of Northwest Meet at Port

Portland. ReprosontlnB an aggro
gnto capital of $50,000,000, Invested In
applo orchards and an output of 10,
000 cars your, having a vnluo of
from $0,000,000 to $8,000,000, moro
than 100 applogrowors from Oregon,
Washington and Idaho gathered in tho
Y. M. C. A. auditorium for tho nr-
poso of forming a National selling
agoncy of BUlllcient ureautn nnu wiutn
to control and dlsposo of tho apples
produced In tho threo states men
tlonod.
A committeo of 15 was appointed
at tho close of tho day'a work to
proiluro a working plan for tho con
sldoratlon of tho convention tomor
row morning.
Leading applo culturlstB from tho
three statoa took part in Uio proceed'
lugs. Ex-Govornor Miles C. Mooro, of
Washington; Judgo Fromont wood,
of Boise, Idaho; MHob Cannon, of
Welsor, Idaho; E. C. Uonson, of Pros

Stone, of Milton, Or.; II. C. Richards,
of North Yakima, Wash.; A. P. Bate-
man, of Moslor, Or., nnd C. H. Sproat,
of Hood Rlvor, Or., wore among tho
moro actlvo spirits of tho enterprise.
Tho only opposition to tho plan
proposud came from tho pessimistic
tone that prevailed through tho talk
of E. H. Shepherd, editor of Bettor
Fruit, published at Hood Rlvor. Al
though tho discussion lasted through
out tho dny and tho speakers woro
nuniorous, Mr. Shepherd could not
see tho light as advanced by tho
moro hopeful In tho plan of crenllng
a central distributive agency for tho
output. Ho malntaluod that thoro
was no wily for an organization at
least ho had hoard of no plan which
would equalize tho values between
tho apples produced In tho vurloiiB
districts. Ho was certain that thoro
was no chance for ovor-productlon.
That ho regarded as a uug a-boo cre
ated by the railroads and tho press.
"All Government statistics, said
the spoaker, "that I huvo been ablo to
get hold of, all tho Information thnt
I havo gathered and all of tho inter-
viovs with old tlmo nursory mun go
to show that ovor-productlon is im
possible, In apples at least. Thoro Is
no such a thing as over-production In
this country In any food product.
Thero may bo faults of distribution
for a continuous numbor of yearn-
that has never occurred and cannot
occur In any known food product."
Regardless of Mr. Shophord s views,
tho npplcgrowers continued In their
deliberations and appointed tho fol
lowing committee to draft a plan: II.
W. Otis, of Wenntchee, Wash.; II. C.
