2, has been called riff by .the "promot
ers on accoun: of their not bcinc; able
to secure th opera house for thai

ed their forfeit money, they have de
cided that they will pull It off In

It Caused 'Warm Debate in Senate,
I But Was Passed,
I Salem, Jan. 30. The bill of Smith,
'of Umatilla, to compel the placing or
road brands on cattle, which shall bo
j at any time driven from tho county In
' which th'ey are owned, was tho suit
j Ject of a warm debate In the senate
passed, 18 to 9. Tho measure was
called lip under tho order of third
reading of bills, and Smith, of Uma
tilla, rose to explain it and urgo its
pasagc. When ho had concluded,
Johnston, of Wasco, arose to oppose.
The branding of cattle, ho declared,
was an expensivo process; one which
required largo expenditures of time
and money. Furthermore, ho believed
this bill, if passed, would accomplish
no protection to cattlemen, which was
not accorded by laws at present In
force. The measure proposed a need
less and futile expenditure of time
end money. He hoped It would not
pass.
Pierce, of Umatilla, opposed John
tton's views, and spoke In favor of his
fellow citizen's bill. Johnston was
mistaken, he said, inhls contention
that branding was an expensive pro
cess. Every cattle ranch was equip
ped with facilities for branding, and
the work could be and wns cheaply
and quickly done. He also thought
the senator from Wasco was mistak
en In I1I3 contention that tho pending
bill would afford no protection not
already accorded. He hoped the bill
would pass
Marsters spoke In opposition to the
bill, and Kuykendall spoke In Its fa
vor, and' the measure was then plac
ed on final passage. The progress of
the roll call developed so large a num
ber of noes that the measure appear
ed to be endangered, and before the
result was announced, Smith, of Uma
tilla, demanded call of the senate
and another vote. Thls was carried
and , several absentees were rounded
up and brought lu. Another vote was
then taken and the measure passed,
18 to 9.
STATE MINE INSPECTOR.
Eastern Oregon in the Race With
Two Promising Candidates.
Sunipter, Jan. 30. Tyo prominent
candidates have already appeared in
Eastern Oregon for the office of state
mine commissioner If the Robbius
bill passes. These are Lewis Walker,
of Sumpter, and Paul E. Polndexter,
of Baker City. Both gentlemen are
eminently qualified. The chances of
Poindexter appear brighter than those
of Walker because the former Is bet
ter acquainted with the governor.
Polndextsr leaped Into prominence in
this camp In 1899, when he personally
supervised the collection of an ore
exhibit from this district and won a
gold medal at the Spokane exposition
in a field composed of competitors
trom every mining camp In the North
west. Two Southern Oregon- men are
In the race, but It appears acknowl
edged that the ollice will go to Baker
County.
