purposes separate from tjhe real estate,

Sidelights On
I Legislature
Salem, Feb. 13. The S. R. O. sign
was out early yesterday for the big
show staged under the auspices of
the roads and highway committee in
th senate. So great was the at
traction. In fact, that members of the
lower house deserted their posts of
duty in favor of the greater attraction
in j the upper house until at one time
there were hardly eYiough representa
tives in their seats to second a motion.
In apite of a j big program of bills
demanding attention it was necessary
to suspend operations until Sergeant
at Arm Joe Singer could round up
the delinquents! and herd them back
into the house, so that a quorum could
be had for the transaction of business.
i
Monday night; while "Jim" Stewart
was listening to Bishop Sumner eulogiz
ing the late ex-President Roosevelt in
the house of representatives, his 16-year-old
son Blair was busy debating
on the CorvaUia high school team
which won that night from Forest
drove. The subject of the debate that
night was "Bonds for Public Improve
ments," and the joke is .on "Jim," who
refused to furnish the son any ma
terial for his debate because he was
on the negative side of the question,
whereas "Jim" Is working his head off
at this session of the legislature for
the $10,000,000 road bond issue.
Harvey Wells, state insurance com
missioner and commander of the Ore
gon camp of Spanish-American War
Veterans, is the father of a resolu
tion introduced in the, senate providing
for oil paintings of Colonel J. C. May
of the Third . Oregon Infantry, and
Lieutenant Colonel Creed Hammond of
the Third Coast Artillery corps, be
secured and bung in the legislative
halls.
As a counter, attraction in an effort
to divide patronage with the road
show in the senate the house today
offers a finish bout between the Smith
McFarland boxing bills and a ghost
walk to be staged by the Rogue river
fishing bill which promises to be one
of the best programs put on by the
house this session.
.
Boys will be boys, even when they
grow up to be i legislators, and who is
there that would deny them their little
joke once in a while if it will only
drive away the dull monotony that
surrounds the transaction of routine
business?
The 10 minute limit is now being en
forced on debates some times in an
effort to expedite business in the
house in an attempt to reduce the pile
of bills that are clamoring for atten
tion. Representative Gallagher doesn't take
kindly to the machinations of the lob
byists from Portland who persist in
coming down to the state capital and
forcing the legislators to "swallow their
votes."

Hanley's Measure
I On Irrigation Gets
Some Hard Knocks
I Salem, Feb. 13. Bill Hanley's meas
ure, senate bill 222, had a hard time be
fore the irrigation committee of the sen
ate Wednesday night, and judging from
the expressions of various members of
the committee, will have difficult
time getting onto the senate floor with
a favorable report.
The bill, which was brought to Salem
by Erskine Wood, attorney for Mr. Han
ley, and introduced by Senator Eber
hard at his request, provides in brief,
that acreage shall control in the vote on
the formation of an irrigation district,
or in rejecting its formation, father than
the number of land owners i Interested,
Ti is now the law.
Under the Hanley bill, should it be
come a law, Mr. Hanley, who owns some
5000 acres of land in the Harney valley,
would dictate j whether anyi irrigation
district could i be formed that would
bring his land within the boundaries of
the district. Mr. Hanley ha never been
very enthusiastic about cutting Harney
valley up into small holdings or the crea
tion of any irrigation district that would
Interfere with his holdings there.
