The referendum will Intervene be tween Sheriff 8tevens and hta prisoner- -.feeding jImcum llliow, contemplated by. the Multnomah delegation In the legislature. If that body persists In riving Into the handa of the aherlff ' of the county the power to feed the Inmate of the county Jail, and when the matter la taken tip by the people It will be put upon a bualneas baata that will remove all chance of per onal fain. - " ' . This la what la now promised by those who are opposed to the solution ot the .much-mooted coudty-JaiL. gov ernment questloa which - has been evolved by the local delegation. The Drlscoll bill la considered to be the result merely of a personal frlo- - lion between- the county court and the aherlff. There la little or no difference of opinion, concerning the appointment of deputies. The central point In the discussion Is concerning the feeding of r the prisoners. It la not believed In many quarters that the county prison ers will receive 12 H -cent meals under the amended law which the house la to have up for consideration. It Is ex tieriff will attempt e make aome profit out of the allowed price of 12 H centa, and that as a con- ' sequeneethe prisoners will not get j what the county Is paying for. i The argument la being made that 1 the prisoners of the county should be fed ' on a business basis. It la held that the work should be done In the same manner as at the state lnstttu- 1 tlons, where the. quarterly statements , ahow the Insane patients and the con victs to be fed at prices ranging from . to 10 centa. The feeding of the prisoners will be put In the .hands of the county ..courtla-, tbs measure to be submitted to popu- ' lar rote., Supplies will be purchased by the coun'ty upon competitive bids. Food 1 will be prepared In the Jail and served wlth-th assistance --of - trust lea - under -the direction of a hired cook, and a checking system will be provided to show that nons of the supplies, ordered by the county are diverted from the use -of the county. .. .. j - A final split In the Multnomah dele- I gatlon la looked for when the Dtiacoll substitute bill comes up for considera tion, and It la possible that a business administration .of the county deeding question will be then decided upon. THAT THE GROUND-HOG DIDN'T SEE HIS SHADOW IS A COMFORT ft was good thing that ths sun did not shine yesterday, because If It had, -suspicion people might have been led to the belief that winter la to hang on for awhile. Instead, old Sol waa burled all day behind a veil of soft and fleecy flakes, so that when the ground hog peeked out of bis bole he saw no shadow of his own fat body. And everybody, , Including ths groundhog, knows that without a shadow on the second dsy of February winter Is rapid ly on the verge of giving way to an 'early spring. -L 1 If the groundhogs came out at all they certainly received anything bat a warm reception, because yesterday was us cold and disagreeable a day us has been rolled up In this ' city for some time.' Only now and then did the flakes .ceass falling and then but for a few minutes. . District Forecaster Beats predicted colder weather for ths even Ins and It came, but toward mldnlrht the wind lost In velocity and the chlUyi atmosphere proved not half as dls-1 agreeable as between I snd T o'clock 1 In the. evening, when It was cold enough to make an Eskimo wish for milder weathen The snowfall after dark Increased at such a rate that the streetcars tnsy have' soma .trouble getting the tracks clear this morning without calling Into service the rotary snow plows. , - Sleighing will be popular today and the livery stables got ready last night for a rush, tf business. Indications then were fine and it was decided to charge II for single and SS for double outfits per hour. Notwithstanding this rather expensive rate, the stablemen do not fesr having to let their sleighs re main Idle while the snow lasts. EVEN OLD FOLKS INDULGE IN THE RARE SPORT OF SNOWBALL Portland's small boys are making the most of their opportunity to indulge In the rare sport for these parts of heaving the festive snowbalL. For that mutter, the fun la not confined to the diminutive mala section of the popula tion. Little girls and big girls, old men and oM women, may now snd then be seen in the residence section stealth ily crunching a handful of snow to be mischievously tossed at some pesser-by. On East Yamhill street yesterdsy aft ernoon a venerable gentleman wearing a ministerial cost and flowing whiskers was seen to scamper up snd down the sidewalk, dodging now behind a tree and now out again. In a gleeful battle of snowballs with a youngster in knee tireeches. "Whew! It's ths first time I've run like this In 1 years," he waa heard to exclaim. - ..- - At least one runaway has resulted from the flying snowbalL A delivery wagon belonging to Bealy, Mason Jb Co. was pelted by two lads near the Port land hotel yesterday morning. The boy on the driver's seat did not mind a bit, but the horse failed to Imbibe the spirit of the occasion snd took the bit In his mouth and started for home, a stable at Front and Salmon streets. The boy abandoned the lines and si Id. out the end-gate and the horse galloped on. Reaching the stable, he found ths door blocked. Bo he concluded to go on sn excursion to outh Portland. He was finally caught In front of the Pioneer Soda works with no damans done except a broken axle. . - WHITMAN'S PRESIDENT AT THEY. M. C. A. TODAY Stephen B.

Ths osteopaths believe themselves en titled to an Independent examining board" for the reason that they never have been favored by the doctors of medicine and druggists, ths osteopathic theories being opposed to ths use of drugs. "There ars ' some ' 4,000 osteopath doctors in ths United Ststes today," said Dr. Teall, "and the believers In ths sclsnce a gradually increasing In number. The osteopaths have their qwn boards In many states and In soms ststes they are represented on ths stats board of medical examiners, but what ws want here Is an independent board. It will cost ths stats nothing, no more so than the ststs board of dental ax- amlners." The main reason of ths osteopaths for desiring to havs a stats board of examiners Is to protect not only thm elves, but also the public against SVETTENHAM CRAZED WHEN HE INSULTED DAVIS Overwhelming Calamity Given as Reason for Jamaica Gov ernor's Strange Acts.
