IMMIII 1912
People to Say Whether Mult
nomah Shall Get More-f
Representation."
Convinced that Multnomah oounty will
never receive Its fair apportionment of
representation In the legislature at the
hands of the lawmakers. Representative
James Ambrose, of Portland, with the
assistance of some of the -other mem
bers from Mulnomah, will take steps to
place the matter on the ballot for de
cision at the next general election.
Ambrose, as chairman of the house
reapportionment. -committee, brought, in
a bill giving Multnomah county 17 rep
resentatives and seven senators, with
one Joint senator. Thla was considered
"less-thanMultnomah was actually-vn,
titled to, but those from this county
declared they would be satisfied If It
passed. Instead, it was killed by a
combination of eastern Oregon men and
some others before it even had a chance
to reoelve consideration. - Ambrose made
no other attempt, to obtain an agree
ment upon the subject, realising that It
would be hopeless.
"Multnomah county will never get
what Is due to It from the legislature."
he said this morning, "and our only re
course is from the people. At the
proper time I will take steps to have
some of the local organisations assist
in the circulation of the petitions and
there will be no difficulty in obtaining
the adoption of the proposal. We can
easily get the support of Marion, Clack
amas, Clatsop and some other counties,
which will give us the balance of the
vote. At the same time we will present
only a fair proposition.
' "By' the failure of the legislature to
act at the session Just closed, Multno
mah has been doprived of a fair repre
sentation In the session two years from
now. If we wait until this session be
fore attempting to get a reapportion
ment, we will undoubtedly receive the
same sort of treatment aocorded last
week. The only safe means is to have
the people vote upon It and four years
from now we will receive a square
deal. . ..
On reason that there was no action
on the reapportionment bill in the sen
ate waa because 18 senators had signed
an agreement to leave the present sit
uation untouched. In the house there
was no written agreement, but there
was a thorough understanding.
ECANDI
With the creation by the legislature
of an additional Judgeship in the cir
cuit court, several local attorneys have
become candidates for the place. Gov
crnor West will have a long and sub
stantial list from which to choose a
man. Unusual Interest Is also being
taken by members of. the loca bar In
regard to the appointment. Uosslp eon
ters largely -around the names of eight
attorneys.
Friends of Attorney John Van Zante,
former municipal court judge, have
urged him to entor the race, and a pe
tition is out for sliniers In his behalf.
Attorney Thomas O'Day has been Im
portuned to seek the place. Attorney
O'Day occupied a bench ' in the elreult
court one time. Attorney Samuel White
hss 6een drsftwn Into the race, and while
he says he Is not directly or indirectly
working very hard for the place, would
consider it a high honor to be named
by Governor West.
Attbrney Bert Haney, chairman of
the Democratic Stat central commit
tee, is another who is prominently men
tioned. Many of his close friends have
urged him to try for the place and
offered support, but he has not com
mitted himself on the matter. The
name of Attorney R. S. 3. McAllister Is
also mentioned. - The name-ofiRlchard
Montague 1s on the list, as well as
those of Attorneys Thomas Q. Green
and E. il. Dufur.
All intercut is not on the circuit 'court
Judgeship, for thpre la a Jifatlcs of the

The legislature turned down the bill
for the reorganization of this court,
but allowed one additional Justice.
TRANSPORT FOR CHINA'S
STARVING NOT YET FULL
Money subscriptions for the starving
In China are coming In quite liberally
to the Portland chamber of commerce.
One business man brought In $10 this
mooning. Others have subscribed larger
sums. Reports from the Flowery King

terior are extremely bad and that even
the most liberal assistance will fall to
save thousands from death.
A government transport Is. soon to
leave Seattle for China direct with sup
plies donated in the Pacific northwest
Donations are carried free to Seattle by
the railroads, and It Is hoped to get
enough food stuffs to fill the capacity of
the transport, which la about 3000. tons.

Calexlco, Cal., Feb. -.-tl. Notwlth-
standlngjhewspaper report
rumors that General Madnro is active In
the vicinity of Juarez, . the belief waa
prevalent here today that the leader of
the Mexican revolution is headed toward
Mexican, the provisional capital "of
Lower - California. Captain Babcock,
commanding the United States troops
at Calexlco, said that he had received
positive Information that General Ma
de ro would arrive here In a few days.
It Is believed here that the plan of the
rebel leader is to ooncentrate the revo
lutionary strength in Lower California
and to establish an Independent govern
ment there, afterward extending their
campaign to the Mexican mainland.
Calexlco, Cal., Feb, 21. As a prelim
inary move to an advance on Ensehada,
the capital of , Lower California, rebel
troops under General Ley va and General
Berthold today occupied Picaehos pass,
a narrow-defile dlrectely south of here.
A psrty.of 40Jnsurrectos took the pass,
meeting wltn no opposition from federal
outposts who were reported In the vi
cinity. The movement of tht full rebel
army toward Ensenada will start prob
ably tomorrow, according to General
Leyva.
San Diego, Cel.. Feb. II. In the last
few days th Mexican federals at Tla
Juana have thrown up- breastworks
around the old bull ring and are pre
pared to make resistance there If the
Insurgents appear. A detachment is be
lieved to be on the way from Calexlco,
evidently bound for Ensenada.
All last night two cruisers, anchored
near the boundary line Off Tla Juana,
played searchlights on the American
Bide near the Mexican line, lighting up
the whole country. The evident pur
pose was to reveal the approach of any
troops or -tne insurgent forces. The
searchlights did not tend to quiet the
nerves of Americans near the line, who
have been anxious for weeks ss a re
sult of the fighting near by.
