The Impending countv division fight. In which It Is sought to carve the new county of Ne smith from I. an e and Douglas, has set legislators to thinking and within a few davs there will be introduced a gen eral biil to govern the division of coun- Such a measure was partiallyi framed t the last session by faenators F J. Miller. C. J. Smith and Frank Boothe. Miller arid Smith, who are members of the present senate, have been perfecting the measure. The con stitution prescribes certain require ments qf population, area and taxable wealth for new counties, and the pro posed bill will try to fix equitable rules for division of financial obligations and for expression of popular will within territory affected. , one suggestion has been that a 78 per cent vote In favor of division be re quired In the territory of any proposed new county, and EB per cent of the vot ers of the county or counties from which It is taken shall be necessary,, before division Is made. Effect of Kesmith's Formation. The proposed county of Nesmtth would leave Iiane county a long, narrow strip', running from the sea across the coast mountains and the Willamette to the mountains on the east. Nearly all of its population would be derived from the Willamette section tributary to Cot tage Grove From Douglas county would be taken a shoestring of timber lands, sparsely settled. It would de prive Douglas of only about 60 people, but would take $2,000,000 worth of tax able property. The Lane and Douglas legislators ex press a determination to give the di vision bill a death thrust. It is prob ablo the committee will report that the legislature has no power to form a new county. The Nesmith boomers do not appear to be worried bv this prospect, intimat ing that they are expecting to win by going before the people of the state at the next election on a referendum peti tion.

Kalem. Or., Jan. 22. After drawing our uavis or Aiuunoman in derense ot his resolution providing for a Junketing committee to visit Cascade Locks and ths canal at Celllo, Representative Campbell this morning in a few words succeeded in taking all the wind out of Davis' sails. Iavt said he thought It no more than reasonable and right that such a committee from the house visit and report on the locks. Mr. Campbell arose then and stated that since the locks had been built seven years ago and were In dally use and since the United States government is aoing ail me worK at Celilo, he saw no reason why a committed from th Oregon legislature should butt In.

(By Journal Leaned Salem WLre.) Salem, Or.. Jan. 22,-Forgetful of the attitude of the governor on emergency clauses, various members of the pres ent legislature are tacking them upon their bills indiscriminately. Particu larly Is this the case In the bills carry Ins; appropriations for the increase of salaries of state and county officials and for other purposes. Half a dozen bills of this nature have appeared In the senate. In most instances the ob jectionable clauses have been stricken out by the committees. Today the scalp bounty bill, carrying an appropriation of $40,000 was sent into the house with an emergency clause. A bill has been Introduced In the house raising the sal aries of all circuit court judges to J4000 with an emergency clause. Oth ers of like nature have been read and referred.' The governor has taken the position from the first that all bills carrying appropriations should be enacted In such shape that the referendum could be Invoked If desired. He has vetoed bills not so drawn in the past, and it Is safe to assume that he will In the future. Old members of the legislature are passing the word, around to the new men. that they had better leave the emergency clause alone if they wish their measures to become effective be fore the next session of the legislature, if then. It is fair to state that in many Instances members have attached emer gency clauses without uny desire to de feat the opportunity of referendum, and these members are willing at all times to have the objectionable clauses re moved. It Is not believed that any of the bills, not absolutely needing such clauses will come to the final reading in that shape, as the committees are watching such measures and- wil amend them.

III ELECTRICIAN IS HELD HELPLESS IN GRIP OF "CHARGED" METAL SIGN By rubbing against a wire carrying 500 volts of electricity, the metal sign of the Grand theatre, suspended over Washington street at Park, became so charged with the current that when Kugene Burton, an employe of Poster & Kleiser, touched the sign this morning he became a human conductor for tho electricity.

(By Journal Leaned Salem Wire.) Salem, Or., Jan. 22. Senator Selling's bill for proportional representation In the legislature, embracing the Ideas of W. S. U'Ren and others on the subject, will bring Into the politics of Oregon a new dictionary of political terms. Such words as "quotas." "remainders" and "transferable votes," defined by the act, will come into. common use If the bill becomes law. At first glance the syntem appears to demand the attention of a Philadelphia lawyer, but closer studv shows that the principle' is simple and not difficult to understand. The announced object In view is to secure for each party a num ber of legislators In proportion to Its voting strength in the state. This is done without impairing the election of members by districts, but a system of transferring votes from one district where the party does not need them to "districts at large" is provided, where by these remainders, less than the full "quotas" required to elect, may be add ed together and elect "at large." served. It was quickly seen, however, that the charged wire ran close to the roof of the Eilers piano house building and when this was chODped in two an other man with a ladder was able to release Burton from the clutch of the electricity and carry him to the ground He was taken to a nearby drug store, where it was found that his injuries were not serious. Although pale as aeatn nis limbs were still shaking arnamA(4lnt1lti Burton had climbed up to replace the light bulbs in the sign.

JUDGE THROWS SOP TO CUPID Judge Bronaugh this morning threw a sop to outraged Cupid when he re fused to grant one of several divorces petitioned for. Friday la always a sad day for the little naked god and his tender sensibilities receive manv a blow on the day which, in the Portland courts at least, is unlucky for him. It Is to be feared that the refusal to grant the divorce this morning is not balm to his soul, either, for it does not jnean happiness to the couple whom his darts once brought together. Thomas Warsen appeared In court and asked for a divorce from his wife, Annie, who, he said, deserted him In Jackson county. North Carolina, some eight years ago. But he failed to sat isfy the court as to why ahe left him. He hinted at more than a proper fond ness on her part for the company of other men, but could make no direct allegations. . What most Influenced the court, however, in refusing to grant the di vorce was Warren's admission that in all the time since he and his wife have been separated be has not contributed anything to their support nor made any effort to see her or learn how she was getting along. The judge, by implica tion, severely censured him jot his ap parent neglect of his family and re fused to grant the divorce. However, at the request of the attorney for tho plaintiff, ho continued the case to allow Of depositions being taken lo strengthen the case. "He told me he was too young to be married and settled down," was the plaint of Mary Gertrude McNutt when the judge asked her why her husband left her. Mrs. McNutt. a modest bd- l peering little woman, testified that In the three years since the irresponsible husband deserted her he had not con tributed one cent toward the support of herself or her child, not even a pair of shoes for the baby. And he did no better while they were living together, beyond paying the rent occasionally. She had alwavs had to support herself. Mrs. McNutt said that he wrote her that he had beebn served with a copy j of the summons and hoped she would get the divorce. Her testimony was 1 corroborated by a half sister of tho I husband, who said he was of a roving and unsettled disposition. Tbe judge ( ordered the decree to Issue. Samuel Stearns was another husband who simply got tired of being married. , according to the testimony of the wife, Mollie P. Stearns. Mrs. Stearns in cashier In a penny arcade rear the steel bridge.

Tha Babcock borne was always clut tered ud with beer bottles, cases and whiskey flasks, according tn the testi mony of the witnesses In the s'llt for divorce brought bv Mrs. Ethel Babcock against James W.

According . . . j .1 - . .I..V nv UtrA to tne constitution i mo tiuu resident members of the club, not mem bers of the board of governors, may rec ommend a different list or lists con taining the names of resident members, who have consented to serve as gov ernors for three years and to fill vacan cies and place the same, over their sig nature, on th bulletin board In the club room at least five days before the date of the annual meeting." The regular ticket, filed by the regu lar nominating committee, was posted several days before the expiration of this five day limit. The "liberal" ticket was filed on Jariuary 18 and the third or "conservative"' ticket on January 19. Now It la the chtm of those Interested in the first two tickets that the third was not filed five days before the date of theannual meeting. They claim that January 19 was not five days before January 23 and that therefore the ticket ls not legal and cannot be voted upon tomorrow evening. It la a question that will have to b left to tho meeting to morrow night for decision. The first ticket, nominated by the reg ular nominating ticket, was composed nf both liberals and conservatives. The second was Simon pure nnerai ana tne third was of known conservatives.
