two hotifi-s .oon after the oath of of
liee hiJ b.'en adnilnlmered to him. The
niemuse was sweeping in lis mope
and eotnewhiit surpriHlng. for the gov
ernor recommends the abolition of
health officer and hounnan nl Auto
rlii positions which, he declined, ale
flll.'d by the Quarantine official at As-
Imla. He touched on all matters of
Iniportiuiie to the male, particularly
upon the method now In vogue of i-ol-leetlng
state tares. He txiinted out
that the asseused vnluatiou of the ntale
hnd gone down from lltiO.uOO.OOO lo JUT..
IHMI.OOO, aiol recommended that the leg
islature clothe the executive with au
thority to name a commlxMion v Inves
tigate the question aim report a suit
able rule to correct the ubuse.
Governor Chamberlain denounced
the practices of the "crimps" operating
at Astoria and Portland, saying the
present laws were inadequate to the
protection of the shipping interims. He
recommended that the legislature
should memorallze congress on the sub.
Ject, and ad Jed!
I recommend also that the laws of
this state be amended at this session
In these particulars: First, create u
severer penalty by way of both fine
and Imprisonment; second. Invest the
municipalities of Portland nnd Asto-
rla with broadest authority to enact
ordinances on the subject, operative
within their corporate limits, not in
consistent with the general pui'iHise
aiuf scope of the laws of the state, cut
ting off the right of appeal in cases
arising under such ordinances, thus
avoiding delays of which I have
spoken."
In discussing the pilotage system of
the Columbia river Governor Chamber
lain called attention to the report re
cently circulated that a combination!
between the Oregon and Washington
pilots was talked of, the Idea being to
raise rates. He pointed out that the
Washington rates are much higher
than those of Oregon, and urged the
legislature to take action that will ren
tier Impossible a combination such as
was talked of a few months ago..
Regarding the positions of health of-
eer and boatman at Astoria, the gov.
einor's iiii4e .otititlm-d the follow,
lug slut mailt : 1 .
'Tht' law in fo fur as It provides f,r
u health officer at Astoria with 'a sal
