STATE IiOARD WILL
PERMIT OF XO DELAY
Governor West and State Treasurer
Wvny Tnke Prompt Action Water
Main Will lie Extended from City
to Site Location Recommended by
Committee Holds.
Governor West and State Treasurer
Kay are taking Immediate, steps to
go aneau wnn worn on tne eastern
Oregon branch hospital at Pendleton
and Assistant Engineer Murphy, of
the Oregon state insane asylum
force, has been selected by the
board to be its personal representattve.
on the proposed work and to have
charge of Its mechanical features,
says a Salem special to the Portland
Oregonian.
Murphy left for Pendleton Mon
day and will first extend a water
main from the city waterworks to
the site, this being deemed the first
essential.
Recommended Site Holds.
The site will be the one recom
mended by the legislative investigat
ing committee, as the board believes
that the responsibility of the site
should be placed upon the shoulders
of the legislature.
State Treasurer Kay says that En
gineer Murphy will go over the
ground, determine the nature and
; depth of the Soil, and unless some
thing radically wrong develops which
will mak the site as selected by the
luve.siij,.'it.rig committee manifestly
impossible, the board will follow out
thu dictates of that committee.
The members of the board intend
to visit Pendleton within a week or
two and ascertain the advance being
made by Murphy and at that time
probably . will make final decision as
to what action is to be taken.
Engineer Murphy was formerly a
captain In the state militia and was
a plumber and contractor In Salem
for 12 years. When in the Philip
pines he was selected as one of the
engineers in the government service
and on his return took charge of tho
work tu the school for feeble-minded,
where he was employed four years
and later was a member of the en
gineering force at the asylum.
Th board is confident that Mur
phy is a highly competent man ror
the position and he will act for them
almost entirely at Pendleton until the
asylum is well along toward comple
tion. The board has as yet taken no
steps toward the securing of an ar
chitect or contracts for the proposed
asylum buildings.

BILL UNINTENTIONALLY
ALTERED BY TYPIST
Salem, Or., Feb. 22. Governor
West has discovered that senate bill
225 was altered, most probably unin
tentionally, in enrolling so that it ex
cludes train dispatchers from its op
eration. The bill is one prescribing
a 14 hour limit for the continual em
ployment of railroad men. There is
a clause In the bill where the typist
could, easily have jumped from one
to another in copying without impair
ing the purpose of the act otherwise
than that of excluding from its oper
ation train dispatchers. This was un
doubtedly the manner In which the
alteration was made.

"Subject Was Repealed."
Dr. C. J. Smith, who was to speak
for the district fair association and

abandoned he made no extensive talk
upon that subject but devoted his re
marks exclusively to the district fair.
