THE WORK OF .
THE OREGON
LAW MAKERS
First Week of the Extra Ses
sion is Ended.
HOUSES ADJOURN
UNTIL MONDAY
Sixty Bills and Twenty-five Resolu
tions Introduced in the Senate,and
Thirty-six Bills and Thirty-five
Resolutions in the House.
Salem, Or., Sept. SO. Both houses
of the legislature adjourned early thia
afternoon until Monday a'ternoon, at 2
o'clock, and moat of the members left
town on tonight's trains. Speaker Car
ter will spend Sunday with hia constit
uents in Ashland. A good many of the
members went to Portland for the recese.
The clerks of the two houses were left
at their desks to clear the way for Mon
days's work. Everything about the state
printer's office is running at high pres
sure to get the bills already introduced
in shape to lav on the desks of members
Monday.
In the eenate sixty bills have been in
troduced, and have gone to the printer.
Some twenty-five resolutions have also
been handled there. In the house the
number of bills introduced is thirty-six,
and resolutions, including joint and con
current, thirty-five.
A number of the members have bills
they are withholding, because they are
convinced that no general legislation
will be enacted at this session. In fact,
the great number of admittedly meritori
ous measures brought forward tor con
sideration promise to consume more
time, if they get proper attention, than
will be available at this session. It is
probably that the greater number of bills
already introduced will not get to final
vote at this session.
The moBt objectionable feature of the
introduction of such a multiplicity of
measures is that it is likely to delay ac
tion on those of really pressing im
portance. Still, the committees in both
houses are so made up that the meritor
ious are likely to be carefully separated
from tho unmeritorious and pushed to
prompt action.
The first week closes with a distinct
promise of long steps in the direction of
economical legislation.
Representative Butt, of Yamhill, this
morning introduced by request a bill for
an act to regulate the rights of persons
to examine public records and make
memoranda and transcripts from them
and declaring an emergency. It pro
vides that officers having the custody of
any state, county, city or town records,
ot any court in the state, shall permit
and furnish proper and reasonable fa
cilities for the inspection and examina
tion of the records and files of their
respective offices, and for making mem
oranda and transcripts therefrom,
whether said files be complete or incom
plete; during the usual business hours,
to all persons having occasion to ex
amine them for any lawful purpose,
without cost or expense to the person
making such examination. Complaints
in suit of actions are to be withheld from
public inspection until summons shall
have been served.
WRECK IN
NORTHERN SEAS
Captain of the Vessel Washed Overboard
and Drowned Wreck Reached by
the Farallon.
Seattle, Sept. 30. News has reached
here of the wreck of the schooner Capella
in northern waters.
September I6th the ship left Ballard
bound for the north on a fiehing cruise.
She carried a crew of fo'ir men. On the
morning of September 20th, when about
150 miles north of Cape Flattery, the
schooner was caught in the teeth of a
furious gale. Huge seas swept over the
little vessel from bow to stern, carrying
away the boats, batches and everything
that was moveable on deck.
Captain Jonas Nordhasel, of the
schooner, was caught by a large ware
and carried overboafd and drowned. H.
Lipae, one of the crew, was also washed
overboard, and several of his ribs were
broken by the force of the waves as they
beat upon him. He was rescued, how
ever, by his shipmates after a bard
struggle.
With only two men to manage her, the
Capella now began to drift northward
at the mercy of wind and waves. The
mainmast had in the meantime snapped
off close to the deck, and the foremast
threatened to go every minute. All the
fresh water and provisions had been de
stroyed by the salt water, and lor six
days the crew subsisted on canned
fruit and vegetables, which was all that
was left. For water they drank the
juice of the canned fruit, and what they
managed to squeeze from tomatoes.
On the morning of the seventh day
the men met some Indians, from whom
they obtained water. They then con
tinued to drift northward until 7 o'clock
on the morning of the 27th, when in
Seaforth channel they sighted the
steamer Farallon coming toward them,
southwarb bound. As the steamer
approached, one of the men got out the
fog born, and its dismal notes reached
the ears of Captain Roberta. The Faral
lon was promptly brought up alongside
the dismantled schooner, and the men
taken aboard. The schooner was taken
in tow, and Captain Roberts headed for
Bella Bella, the nearest port. Here the
Capella waa beached, and, leaving one
of the crew in charge, the Farallon re
sumed her voyage.
Captain Nordhasel leaves a widow and
four children, who reside-at Ballard. He
was part owner of the schooner.

UNDER BRITISH
ADMINISTRATION
Canada will be Allowed Access to the
Yukon by Way of Lynn Canal Un
der Treaty Now in Preparation.
Victoria, B. C, Sept. 30. A Qnebec
special to the Colonist says :
British Columbia's contention regard
ing the Alaska boundary is not to be
pressed. The Canadian commissioners
will concede that the boundary line nn
der the treaty follows the line of the
coast. But, as compensation for giving
up her claim in Behring sea, Canada is
to be given the right of access to the
Yukon country at the head of Lynn
canal, and either Dyea or Skaguay will
be turned over to British administra
tion. The international commissioners will
decide the question themselves, they not
desiring its reference to another tribu
nal. Are You . Interested?
