SENATE PASSES 8 MEASURES WITH LITTLE ARGUMENT Nottingham's f Bill Provokes Considerable Opposition, but Passes; Other Important Measures Get By. (Bpeilal Dtapatcb to Th Journal. V r Sal era. Or., Jan. 24. Eight bills were passed by the senate yesterday after noon, only one of which developed much opposition. This was senate bill No. 7, Introduced by Nottingham, which makes claims for mechanics' liens spe cifically applicable to homesteads. Con flicting decisions have been given by Courts on the application of the law. i Malarkey led the fight on the bill, contending that the lien law should not be extended In Ita operation He as serted the bill should read the other way, and exempt the homestead from operation of such liens. His argument was that the lien law is Invoked against home builder and poor man, who is unable to protect him self by. making a bond with the con tractor .and. Is sometimes made to pay twice for material entering into ' the building. He declared the material men And contractors are not entitled to fa vors at the hands of the legislature. . Nottingham asserted the bill was sim ply one to make the man who builds pay for the labor and material Other wise, he said, the contractor and Jwner defraud thfe material men without re course. Nottingham spoke of his own experience as a material man, admitting he has been "stung." ' After Abraham had supported Not tingham's Ideas and .albee had lined up With Malarkey, the bill was easily passed, the vote resulting 21 to 8. Malarkey rights Bill. By the same vote the senate approved Locke's bill to admit pay patients to county hospitals. Against this also Ma larkey led the attack, declaring the County should not go into ttfe hospital business. The bill passed by the senate applies to all counties, while a bill passed by the bouse applies to Multno mah county alone. A conference com mittee will likely be the result Other bills passed by the senate were as follows: !

Except, for a limited number of copies bound in two volumes, the printer Is holding the remainder of the 6000 j gets awaiting the passage of the bill, .

So entangled had the matter become by this time that Dumas did not know what to do with the money, and he has now applied to the superior court for relief. BILL FOR BUREAU OF MINES AT 0. A. C.

Salem, Or., Jan. 24.The Shepherd McNulty and the Speler-Blalne Ideas on the naval militia bill were given an air ing before the senate committee on naval affairs last night On one side it Is charged that Captain George S. Shepherd and Commander John McNulty are main ly Intent upon providing themselves with Jobs. The friends. of these officers con tend they should be rewarded for the work they 'have expended in organising the reserve. , ' Lieutenant G. J. Bloraberg was spokes man for the anti-Shepherd interests, favoring the Albee bill, under which a new deal would be given and the pre sent officers of the militia under tho temporary organisation might lose their epaulets.' Some have gone so far as to say. that the Joseph bill, which will retain Shepherd and McNulty In com mar.d Is intended to promote Shepherd's political interests.. ' Indications are that Shepherd has the best of the argument so far. The bill will not be reported today, but when It comes from, committee, it will be in sub stance along the lines of the measure introduced by Joseph. The committee is apparently Incline! to think there is a tinge of ingratitude in the attitude of those who are fight ing Shepherd and McNulty, and too much ado rover the offices. - If the sen ate has its way, Captain Shepherd Is HkelyHo be In command when tho cruiser Boston takes the Oregon naval militia to sea for its Initial cruise.

If we can establish, a national apple selling agency, the growers will be protected, receive their Just returns and be guar anteed a life of prosperity..
