The University of Oregon appropria
tion bill la losing Its big lead as th
returns from tha outside counties coma
in, and though there is no doubt that
the bill will ultimately have an affirma
tive majority of not less than 4,000, yet
It la in the range of possibility that this
lead may be cut lower. On the other
hand, favorable returns from the miss
ing counties and th completion of the
official counts may make the total
larger than it is at present indicated.
With incomplete returns from Jose
phine and Malheur, and counting the
returns from 105 of the 114 precints of
Multnomah county and with no returns
from Curry, Harney, Lake and' Wheeler
counties, the lead for the bill is 4,880. '
- This total may be either Increased or
diminished by the qnal count and ofrl

OBJECTS TO NAFilE
OF HOLY PROIIE
Rev. Green C. Love Sues the
Editor t)f the Mount Scott
News.
Sizzling repartee and verbal brickbats
that appeared In the columns of the
Mount Scott News during; the recent an
nexation campaign are being aired . in
department No. 1 of the circuit court
today In the trial of the libel suit of
Rev. Green C Love of Nashville against
A. W. Miller of Woodmere. Love claims
that his reputation was damaged to the
extent of f 2,000 by articles referring to
Him a 'hAlw l rnnt . a "mt M.lto'' '
"sycophant" and other worda with which
he was belabored.
Mr. Love, who described himself on
the witness-stand aa "a minister of the
gospel of spiritism," did a little "roast
lng" himself in - respons to the on
slaughts that appeared in the Mount
Scott paper. In one communication he
referred frequently to "Untruthful Mil
ler," and casually remarks: "1 am will
ing to say that I Inherited a disposition
to tell the truth. If Miller inherited
that disposition, his letter Indicates that
ne lost nis inheritance."
Miller waa equal to the occasion. He
came back, and came so hard that hs
now naa to face the accusation of libel,
but he deniea that any libel waa com
mitted. In one of Love' lettera allu
sion was made to a trip in the east and
una tm miuer-s apiritea response:
"He refers to his trip east, saying
that he did not travel at my expense,
which I am onlv too alad tn admit, aa
I was never engaged In shipping hogs
east for no doubt this 'holy crone and
Taraaie iraveiea on nail rates.
This is another samDle of Miller's
vigorous style, stating In reference to
tne ttev. iAve haying expressed dis
approval of somebody smoking at one
oi tne annexation meetings:
"No wonder h was horrified, for

HEARING DAD III
KING MURDER CAS
Members-Elect of Legisla
: ture Already Seeking thft
Speakership of House and
Presidency of Senate
Combinations Probable.
Who Is going to b president of th
state senate, and who Is going; to be
speaker of the house of representatives?
It is a long : time yet till th next
legislature will organise In January, still
th ambitious ones . ar beginning to
come more or les timidly out Into
the llghtandTvoIce: their hope and
aspirations. -i
C, N. McArthur would Ilk to see
tha honor of th speakership . fall to
Multnomah county, and he believes that
he could bear the responsibility. A.
W. Orton. another of the Multnomah
delegation, began to lay hia wires for
the Job before he was elected to the
house. Up In Marlon county Hal I.
Patton considers that it is time Marlon
county had the speakership again, Frank
Davey being te last Marion county man
to have the speaker's chair, at thelat
session of the legislature two years
ago. Undoubtedly before the remaining
time is half past a score of other as
pirant will be out looking for recog
nition. .
Many Senator Pull Wires. "
- In the senate there are aiao : several
candidates now making known their dw.
sire to ' preside Over that organisation.
A. A. Bailey of Multnomah, Clackamas
and Columbia, is out after the job. T.
B. Kay of Marion has had hopes before,
and is considered to be one of the lead
ing candidates for the position. I.. H.
Bingham of Lane is also after tha
place, - while tr.' J. 1 N. Smith of Marlon
would like to have it but has apparently
been switched off by the Kay boom.
Eastern Oregon has a candidate In tha
person of Senator Jav Bowerman .of
Gilliam. Sherman and Wheeler.
Where the plums will fall , Is some
thing of a question. It has been a
long time since Multnomah had tha
presidency of the senate, while A. L.
Mills held the speaker' chair during the
session of 1906. Eastern Oregon has not
had the senate presidency, sine the -days
of T. C. Tsylor of Umatilla, and that
was way back in the time when Senator
Simon had the habit of being president
of the senate. . . . , w
Combination Probable.,;
It is probable therefore that some
line will be formed on the speakership
and the presidency fighta Multnomah
county has candidates for both posi
tions jndit is practicallycertaln that
some combination will be reached by
which one of these offices will be given
to outside counties in return for the
other, for these seems to be a definite
Surpose on the part of the Mullnoman
elegatlon to have one of the places for
the Multnomah delegation.,
Bowerman may stand a good chance
for the presidency, or Bingham of Lano.
Bowerman and Bingham are great
cronies and worked close together dur
ing the last session of the legislature
In 1907. It Is verv Dosslhle. orobali!e
In fact that these men; will pool their.

other will receive the support of the
friends of both men. Suoh a combina
tion between Lane county, and such
up-valley counties as would affiliate
with Bingham and Lane, and Bower-,
man with what strength he could bring '
down from eastern Oregon, would make
a hard combination to break, .
McArthur a Stronr Factor. '
- Kay- on the one - hand and Multno- -mah
on the other would make a for
midable bunch of votes, and so it Is
possible that there will be a good hard
fight whichever way it is fixed up.
In - the house McArthur apparently
haa the lead eo far as Multnomah coun
ty Is concerned. He would have the'
support of Lane county. In all proba-;
billty of that part of Marlon not stand-
lng behind Paiton,. and of a goodly por
tion of the Multnomah delegation. From
the way different members of the Mult- "
nomah delegation talk, the candidacy of :
Orton will not find the delegation voting 1
for him as a unit., - t
By the time the official count has
been made by the secretary of state
and certificates of election have been
isaued to all of the new members tho'
Tignt ror in "airrerent ortices win ne
on the full swing, and then It Is very,
probable that some.. new men will gets
