TEXAS LEGISLATURE MEETS,
A Special Session to Correct Errors In
Election Lows.
Ajistln, Texas, March 28. Promptly
at 11 o'clock this noon the state leg
islature met at the espltol and it he
special session called by Governor S.
W.' T. Lanhnm, for the purpose of
considering the election law prob
lem, was opened.
According to the call sent out by
Governor Lnnham the legislature has
been called for one purpose only, "To
provide for definitely determining the
votes which candidates for party nom
ination for state and district offices
shall receive In state and district po
litical conventions, based upon the re
sults of the primary elections held In
the different counties of the state or
of the district, as the case may be."
The special session of the 29th leg
islature has become necessary to cor
rect a number of serious mistakes
made by the legislature In adopting
the new election laws. It is expected
Burned to Dentil In a Car.
St. Paul, March 26. P. S.
McOuIre and E. M. Van Horse-
man were burned to death and
a boy, Charles McOuIre, fatally
hurt In a freight car near Far-
go, N. D. They were traveling
with a stock of household goods
to a new farm In the northwest,
and upset a lantern In the car.
MM:
ROOM
that nearly every member of the leg'
Islature will have some suggestions to
offer and the session will probably
last a full month. It Is not believed
that any effort will be made to In
vestigate the manner In which sec
tion 120 of the election laws was
mutilated In the closing session of the
regular session of the legislature. U
la believed that there was no fraud
and that it was purely a mistake caus
ed by the rush nnd hurry of the clos
ing hours of the session. ,
One thing will be watched by the
people nil over the state. That Is
those 108 members who agreed to
come here and serve for nothing, even
without mileage, If they were given
a chance to check the hemorrhage In
section 120 of the general election
law. Whether or not they will stand
by their promise and written agree
ment Is awaited by the people with
great Interest.
Under the law, when legislators arc
called In extra session they are allow
ed mileage and per diem the same as
for the regular session, and there is
no way to keep them from drawing
It after the call and proclamation have
once been Issued by the governor. If
all the landmarks Insist on drawing
full pay the session will be rather ex
pensive, but If they stand by their
promises the state will not' be taxed
to any great extent In order to get
the mode of determining Its elections
properly corrected and enrolled.
REEK WAR AT SAN FRAXCISCO.
Alarm at Huge Importations of Port
land and Hound Beer.
San Francisco, March 28. Seattle,
Tacoma and Portlnnd breweries, with
the reported backing of Jim Hill, have
begun a finish fight against the local
beer combine. The northern brewer
ies are shipping 10.000 barrels of beer
here annually and expect to double
that output.
Owing to the Increasing demand of
northern beer, the northerners have
offered special Inducements to saloon
keepers here" Ito handle their goods.
As a. result, the sales of local brew
eries have fallen off, and they pro
pose to retaliate by -flooding the
northerners vttb Bun Tranclnco beer,
in hope of forcmg their rivals to with
draw from the local field.

pany of Germany, 31500; Aetna Insur
ance company, of Hartford, $1000.
In the suit which was filed today

Is asked against the three companies
for the above amounts, together with
Interest. The stock of wine, liquors

of being Insured was valued at $2861,
while the fixtures were valued at
$2287. No part of these amounts has
been paid by the companies.

Tcntion ' Said to Develop a Great
Power With a Modicum Original
Outlay.
A manufacturing corporation with
a capital stock of $100,000, and com
posed entirely of Pendleton people,
was organized In Portland Friday
night and on Saturday filed incorpora
tion papers with the secretary of
state. I
The Mathews Motor company, with
J. S. Mathews, Clarence Penland, W.
C. Minnls and W. P. Evans as Incor
porators, the purpose of the company
being to manufacture water wheels
and motors, was organized at a meet
ing held In Portland for thnt purpose
on Friday evening.
J. S. Mathews, the pioneer pump
man of the O. R. & N., Is chief per
sonage In the new company, and the
company Is organized for the purpose
of manufacturing and placing on the
market an lrrlgatlop and water power
wheel Invented by Mr. Mathews.
While the location of the manufac
turing plant has not yet been selected,
It is thought that the wheels will be
placed on the market In Spokane.
Power is very cheap In Spokane, and
the company is now looking over the
field there In hopes of making ar
rangements to establish a factory
there. At least one large model wheel
will be built there and placed on ex
hibition.
The East Oregonlan has printed
several descriptions of the Mathews
water power and Irrigation wheel In
the past. It Is a simple water wheel,
equipped with fans or wings which
open to catch the current of the
stream In which the wheel Is placed.
The wheel Is operated In the current
of a stream and will generate an
enormous power In very shallow
water. It may be used either as a
power wheel or as a means of lifting
water from a stream to higher land
for Irrigation purposes and is so prac
tical and cheap that Mr. Mathews
feels confident that It will be an un
qualified success wherever It Is tried.
One of the wheels was tested In the
Des Chutes river several weeks ago,
and a five-foot wheel produced about
four-horse power, according to the
rough estimates made at that time.
The stock books of the company
are now being opened In Portlnnd,
and as soon as arrangements can be
made the manufacture of the wheels
on a large scale will begin.
