(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
Salem, Or., Feb. 11. Not less than
three different reports recommending
eourses to be pursued upon reappor
tionment are expected from the special
committee appointed to take up the sub
ject by Speaker Rusk yesterday. Mem
bers of the committee are believed to
be hopelessly at variance in their ideas
on the subject. The members are Am
brose of Multnomah, Graves of Yamhill,
Peterson of Umatilla, Westerlund of
Jackson and Derby of Hood River.
- Ambrose expressed His Ideas itid those
of the Multnomah delegation In the bill
he submitted yesterday, giving Multno
mah 18 representatives and eight sen
ators, as well as a Joint senator. Just
low he and the Multnomah men are not
Inclined to compromise, and they be
lieve that Multnomah is not only enti
tled to this number because the county
contains one-third of the population,
but that they can get them.
1 Various plans are favored by other
, members of the house, the total being
probably not less than 29. All of them
would either decrease the number of
Multnomah and leave it as it is at pres
ent Practically all the outsiders admit
.that Multnomah is entitled to 18 or 19
representatives by. reason of wealth and
!; population, but they do not believe It
expedient to give the county Its Just
due. "Multnomah would run the house."

During baby's waking hours, mother's watchful

away in his little: bed her vigilance is relaxed. Yet
there is still danger for the little one not old enough
to care for himself. He may fall out of bed, climb
out, or, what is worst of all, put his head through the
spindles and be suffocated in his attempts to extricate
himself from this, dangerous position. (M A PA

(Special Plipatrh to The Journal. I
Seattle, Wash., Feb. 11. That former
Adjutant General George ; B. Lamping
misappropriated between ' 117,000 and
$20,000;. that he kept no adequate roe.-1
ords of his transactions; that he Is in
volved ln a $3500 shoe deal that has
not yet be en explained; that the offi
cers on, waiting orders have not been
paid, and that the deficiency in the
guard will be between' $40,000 and $50,
000 by April 1, the beginning of the
fiscal year. Is the result of the inves
tigation by thoLandon legislative in
vestigating committee today. '
For the last week there have been
several men from tha state board of
accountancy on the guard's books,
checking from the time General Lamp
ing succeeded ..General Hamilton until
the former turned over the office to
General Fred; Llewellyn, And they made
a partial report to the .committee to
day. V ' ' '- "V
The figures are not taken by the leg
islators to mean anything other than
General Lamping mismanaged the af
fairs of the guard. It is known that he
tollected $17,600 for what 1b called the
"retained pay" fund, which was spent
ln traveling expenses; hotel bills and
for other purposes relating to the guard
which were in no wise beneficial.- This
covers' two years, in which there were
two encampments and three parades.
The idea of retaining 60 cents of the
dally pay of the men originated with
former Adjutant General Hamilton and
Is not authorised by law. The osten
sible purpose for collecting it was to
give the men a little more comfort in
dress and camp life than a strict In
terpretation of the army rules would
include. The committee so far has not
been able to discover what Hamilton
did with thernbneys he' collected, but
Lamping does in a way account for
his. The committee has been handi
capped greatly by the fact that Lamp-lng-s
books do not show in detail Just
where and when the money was col
lected and expended, and Lamping him
self has not been a willing witness.
- The committee has found that Lamp
lng bought $3500 worth of shoes, the
men to pay one half and the state the
other. There is nothing on the statute
books to warrant Buch a proceeding, and
also no explanation has been made as
to where this money went.
Ten officers are on waiting orders
and are legally authorised to draw $100.
They have not been paid that, and there
is no money to pay them. The state's
accountant's check shows that Instead
of a deficiency bill of $12,500 which the
house refused to pass, the military af
fairs committee should present one car
rying an appropriation of $40,000 to
$50,000, as the guard will be that much
short by the end of the fiscal year.

CANAL DATETQ
Lowers Cost to $360,000,000
Including All Appurtenances
Urges Diligence in Preparatory-Legislation.
i (By the International News Berrlce.) '
"Washington, Feb. 11. Colonel George
W. Goethals, chief engineer of the Pan
ama canal said today i the canal would .
be completed by September 1, 1913,, at
a1 cost of $360,000,000. i. '
This is two years ahaad of all earlier
estimates Af or compjetkon. of the canal
and fully r $50,000,000 less' than -many
engineers have figured as the total cost.
Because of the early completion of
the canaC vC6lonel Goethals urged the
house committee on commerce to pre
pare legislation under which ' shipping
tolls for passage of vessels through the
waterway can be fixed.
President Taft has - made similar
recommendations and bills for this pur.
pose have been presented by Senator
Flint and Chairman Mann of the house
committee, each , of which gives the
president authority to fix. or to desig
nate someone else to fix. toll rates'
within a maximum .- and minimum
charge.' v-.
T. Colonel Goethals could not say what
would be a fair charge, but thought' $t
per tern of a vessel would be a heavy
tax on vessels using . the canal, but.
would, give the transcontlnenal rail
roads competition on freight from Kew
York to San Francisco. f , i
Lantern Slide Demonstration.
Plans are on foot to turn the hall of
the house of representative over to
Colonel Goethals Monday night that he
may give an illustrated lantern slide
lecture on the canal, the progress of
the work, the condition of the workmen
the character of the work and descrip
tive scenery in and about the canal. It
is suggested such a lecture would facil
itate canal legislation
The cost of the canal, the machine
shops at Balboa, the Pacific terminal
the coaling stations at Colon, the At
lantic and Pacific terminals and other
supply stations are all Included in
Colonel Goethals' estimate of $360,000,
000 for the entire cost of the great
waterway. He also believes it will be
possible to build a drydock within the
estimated limit of cost of the canal.
