Adequate jail senteueu3 arc llio ouly effective remi'dy iu ex terminating the illicit liquor trai tic, declares the bienuiul rey;-i t of George L. Ck-iiVfi, state iv-j-biibtiuu co.iiuiii-s:o..er. Cleaver claims he was baud, cupped iu extending the uperu'.ioiu Of bis department over tbe st ite because of inadequate financiil provision by tbe legislature. The turn of $2u,0U0, he says, was far too small and allowed only abi.ut J500 for each county. Most county officials are given end it for cu-operalitig heartily iu nlorcemcut of the law. "Only 2& per ceut of all cjju-s filed have beeu lost or dismissed, " lays the report, "and over UO per ceut of those arrested have enlcr Id pleas of guilty. This uaa aiatlu possible the saving of huge suuia of money to the various counties In prosecuting the cases. "During my administration we have secured the conviction of six county officials tor violating the law and two are uow doing tim? In the state penitentiary, "More tiiau a thousand iuvestl gatioiiti have been made by our men in which we did not secure sufficient evidence for a case, ocn luming considerable time and ex pense." Enforcement of the narcotic law la said to be the most difficult work of tbe department. lie turns troin fines, or -.5 ner cent of Hi hole totals $0445.25, declared to 06 lnsumcient. The difficulty In securing hon- Mt operatives is deplored. Eight ticn and ono woman have been lischarged for cause. A well organized yetcm of rum running between Canada and Se attle and Portland has been dis covered, eays the report, which will require the combined action of the state and federal forces oi Oregon and Washington. The only recommendation In th? report is that the legislature la crease the amount from fines to !jj paid to the stato from 25 to 50 per ceut, without any limit. The report claims that not more t!iau live agents have ever ben on sai try at any one time. The total number of prohibition .rises handled by the department vag 1218, and narcotic cases 15, a rrand total of 1233. Prohibition lines aggregated 1271,903.65 and narcotic $1150, a total of $275, 053.63. Intoxicating liquor and Bash destroyed totaled 28.144 qal lonfl. A total of 134 stills were eized and 43 automobiles were lonfiscated. The total cost of pro hibition cases was $49,834.16 and K narcotic cases $6445.25. The amount collected In flnos from tbe counties in 1925 wae $174,415-78 and In 1924, $203. 176.30. The report sti.tes that in tho summer of 1923 the governor re quested the prohibition commis sioner to use his men as special tsents. Relative to this the re port says: "The Oregon Blue Book shows lhe appropriation of $10,000 lor Ihis work in 1921-2, and the act sal expenditure ot $13,242.30 ii ore than the appropriation, or a total expense for the two yeara ? receding the present adrainisi.ni lon ot $23,242.30 for state agents. The appropriation for this pur pose in 1923-4 was $4000 of which .mount $357.50 has been turned back .o the general fund a dif ference of $19, 599. SO effected by the combination suggested by ta: (overnor, and the saving ot a sal iried chief special agent." The more important cases that save come up under the dep.it t mcut are gone into in detail in the report. These are the Portland Press club case, the Lab be case tnd tbe cage of the British ?hip London Merchant. The latter . to be investigated carefully by thr legislative committee appointed for the purpose. COLLIE DOG TRAVELS CALIFORNIA TO DAKOTA Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 15.

The meas ure has been drafted in tentative form. A committee from Albany ie expected here late today to con for relative to the bill with J. M. Dcvcra, who Is drafting tiie meas ure. Under the proposed bill "muni cipalities may bo created under the provisions ot this act, of an entire- county, or of two or more contiguous cJunties, or of contigu ous par's of two or more contigu ous counties, or of a part only of a single county, or of one or more municipalities of one or more con tiguous counties." It Is provided that whenever the Inhabitants of such a district as deAcrlbeJ above decide to create and incorporate a municipality for water and power development there sha.l be filed with the sec retary of state a petition contain ing the names of not less than 2 per cent of the registered voters within the territory where the voters within the territory where the municipality Is propose 1 to be formed. The secretary of state shall check the names with the county clerks if necessary, for genuineness. The secretary of state shall file with the governor a certificate setting forth the purpose of the pe tition, and the governor shall by proclamation call an election with in tho district within Bxty days. The expense of the election with in any county affected would be paid by the county In the same way that the expenses of general elections are paid.

It always is. Josaph inquired: "Does our pay atart from the date ot passage of this bill? If so I shall support it be cause we better get it through at soon as possible." The mysterious communication,: written in a foreign language that was received by the senate, is now said o be in the Philippine instead of Swedish language. Joseph, to whose committee on federal relations it was referred, say -j he has translated three words in the letter an 1 thinks it shoulo have been sent to the Oregon So cial Hygiene society Instead of th senate. As in sessions past, the daugh ter of Senator Strayer comes o.ei from Willamette university occa- s onally to visit her father. She is now the wife of Professor Hard ing of Willamette.

The delegation was unamtneus in voting to iutroduce the bill and resolution as a delegation proposi tion. Representatives Bennett aud Ccrmau held that the sum of $1,- 000,000 wax too large. Bennett suggested tbe sum of $750,000. The resolution would permit school district No, 1 of Multnomah county to add $1,000,000 to the regular Income under the 6 per cent increase law and set the to tal thereof as a basis for future levies with the 6 per cent pro visions applying.

Craiu Another of the bills designed to shear Governor JMcrce of the Prero gatlves of his office made its ap pearance In the house yesterday afternoon, when Representative North presented his third bill to have as its object the restriction of the chief executive's control of state departments. The bill seeks to amend Section 13 of Chapter 201. which names the personnel of the state bonus commission. As the law now stands the gov ernor, the secretary ot state, adju tant general and two commission ers appointed by the governor com prise the commission, and the amendment would take from the hands of the governor the privil ege of appointing two commission ers, remove the adjutant general from membership, and substitute a board composed of the governor, the secretary of state and the state treasurer. While the bill is thinly disguised an attempt to centralized con trol of all departments disbursing and loaning public funds by plac ing upon It the state treasurer, thoso closely in touch with the history of the bonus commission and Its Internal affairs during the past two years see In it the first of the biennial crop of spite billi that make their appearance at the instigation of disgruntled officials every session. They see In It tho outcropine of the antagonism and conflict that has been a constant attendant up on the membership of the bonus commission ever since Major W. 1 Simpson became acting secretary and later secretary of the commis sion. Major Simpson has been a constant target for the attacks of the republican members of the board, without visible provocation for which Justification has been - JH If O Change of Bonus given In a single instance. In face of the splendid record for efficiency and economy that has been established by the bonus commission during the past two years, those funiilLir with the af fairs of the commission declare that the proponents of the North biil are going to find themselves lacking several of the required number of votes necessary to en act the measure in either house, particularly if it becomes a mat ter of passing the bill over the veto of the governor. Several members of the house and senate, who mlht be expected to favor curtailing the powers of the governor where they had been abused, last night expressed them selves as being opp Mod to any tam pering with the bmus commission. and branded the North bill as un adulterated politics. Among these members there is a general will lngness to be shown wherein Gov ernor 1'lerce has made a failure of his administration in specific Fine for Neuralgia Musterole insures quicw relief fron neuralgia.
