JMJnclAded in the ways and means committee s appropria tion bills, there are several measures pending or proposedwhlch may make rurtner arains upon tne. state treasurr. Chief among these is -the bill appropriat ing $10,009 for the extension of the port age road. ' This bill seems destined to defeat. . for .-the: which It-was referred has agreed to re port it ad veraely Nevertheless an effort will be-made to save IX and It has still .-fighting chance of passage. Money is' aiaan wanted lor the - state census which it is -estimated wlll-ooat .about $7,600. The executive mansion bill call. Ing for $14,600 may possibly be revived. A modest request for $609 for rood roads haa been mads and. the legislature haa also been aaked to appropriate $15,000 for a home for idiot children and $20. 009 for a home for wayward girls. The Irrigation bill now pending would call for'an expenditure of probably $20,900. Btelner'B bill appropriating $14,000, to be expehded by the governor forthe suppression- of sheep killing has passed the house end Is before the senate. It Is safe to say that larse aa the appropriations are at this session they wUl net suffice In all -cases to meet re quirements for the next two years. The state printing office Will almost certain. ly exceed the allowance of 10.000 which a to- be made by this legislature, and it a Intimated that several of the stat institutions may find it difficult to keep wiinm-tne umiTs or tne sums allotted to them. ' .. v . . . Charitable and benevolent inatlt utlAnii have fared badly this year at the hands of the waya and meana committee. The bill reported today contains no provision whatever for the Boys and Olrls' Aid society, to which the 'state gave $1,000 two years ago: the Crittenton hnma i also omitted, although., allowed .000 oy me last legislature; and the Patton home, which received $2,009 In 190$. gets uuwiing tnis year. . r - BIG BUILDING BOOM , PREVAILS AT EUGENE '(Special Dtspeteh te Tka Jour nil. 1 Eugene, Feb. 10.--One of the blest Dunamg booms mat ever struck the edu- -cational city of Eugene la now on at this place.

Multnomah's delegation held a heated caucus" yester day arterijoon over Col well's bill amend ing in Portland charter so aa to au' thorlse the city to levy an additional I mill tax to py for bridges over gulches and ravines, in cases where the cost of the bridge exceeds $16,000. The bUTl cad passed the house, but-In the senate its progress was blocked by a demand that It be re-referred to-the Multnomah delegation for further consideration. . The feature which excited especial opposition was .the provision that from this special tax of $ mills the city shall pay the coat of bridges constructed dur ing 1(04, or now under contract or in course of construction. . Members of the delegation who were In 'favor -of levy' ing a special tax to pay for bridges con' structed In the future were not willing to saddle upon the taxpayers' the coat of bridges 'already commenced or - com pleted. '-- !,.'.. It is provided In the bill that' the pro posed amendments to the charter ahall be submitted to the people of Portland for approval In the election next June: Senator Malarkey led the opposition In the caucus to the bill. "He declared him self a strong believer In the principle that bridge should be paid for by the whole city," but he objected to "compell irtg the people Of the whole City to pay for- bridges against whoee const ruction they had no opportunity to protest. He was willing to submit to the people the two questions first,, whether they shall pay fOE bridges, already built or In cotrrse of .. construction; and. - second, whether bridges - built1 hereafter - shall be paid for by the whole' city. But he strongly objected to coupling the two propositions so that thejrmist-f stand or fair together.-" " 1 , 1 '. ' r-,,, t At a. caucus held earlier In the -ses- fsfon the delegatioh agreed that the two propositions .should br-seved-so that they could be voted upon separately by the people. This agreement was Ig nored afterward when Colwell's bllla was Introduced. .." The discussion was heated, but Colwell. finally . carried his point, a . majority of the delegation agreeing to sustain the bill tn its pres ent form, and Malarkey waa compelled te) give. way. .... . .
