Around The Lobby Happenings Around the Legislative Halls, Including Some That House and Senate Spectators Missed. re ST a bit weary are most of tne legislators of the grind that has taken them through 'five weeks of the 39th legislative aes- sion. They welcome the weekends when they can get away from the halls either to go into Portland or to return home for a day s relax ation. , . f . ; - Rather lost are those mem ber who stay aronad the halls over the Sunday holiday. Tbey wander arowstd the lobby hunt lug for aomeOM with whom to . talk, read -papers at their desks and, weather permitting, walk boat the city getting fresh air. But even though they are get ting; tired of it they realise that the worst is yet to come. None of the Important business of the ses sion has yet been' cared for. For that matter probably It will not be until the last few days of the meeting and perhaps not until the last night. j "When are we going to ad journ?" is the question that Is coming into the minds of lots of the members, as well as lobbyists and onlookers. While the 40-day period that the legislators get paid for will be np Friday, no one has any hope that the session will end at that time. The only hope Is that it won't be too long after. Observers are forecasting that week from Friday will bring the end but others who have watched the show for a long period of time are setting two weeks from that day as the more likely date. j Fish always plays aa import ant part la every session bat ft was free and without debate yesterday. Representative Wal ter - Norblad presented each member of the house, clerks and members of the press with a can of choice Chinook sal snon from aa Astoria cannery. Representative Charles Leach was the only member of the house to get a Valentine gift yesterday. Representative Hannah Martin presented him with a heart candy box which ahe said came- from an unknown admirer. The box re vealed a doll sweater which Leach displayed for the amusement of the house members. Senator Dean Walker had a distinguished constituent as his guest Saturday C. E. Ingalls, militant CorvaUis editor. A. C Marsters of Rosebnrg, long banker there, one-time iter of thestat efahr board. visited around the legislature In the interest of some legislation.
