The movement, he explained, had been
started largely because the exigency ex

for the adoption by the state of this
amendment now with th Hill and Har

of the eaatern Oregon business.
Colonel Wood does not see .the matter
In that light. Hi went on to explain
that now Is the ttma for the state of
Oregon to get Into the domain of some
