Fourteen lnchm are to added to
the gates of tho locks at Oregon
City, according to word brought
from Portland last night. The blue
prints for the work have been com
plcted, and are being sent to Waiih
Injton for approval. The reason
(or the project Is the fact that at
high water boats, particularly the
Northwestern, which operates be
tween Portland und Salem, have
liad difficulty In cettinp through
the locks at hlsh water. The
schedule of the Northwestern was
Interrupted for a whole week dur
ing tiie recent floud period. With
the aJdition to the gates boats can
operate under any circumstances
that are at all likely to occur on
the river, Tho work Is expected
to bo completed In imp!e time for
any possible floods next fall.

ASK VOTERS TO
PAY $5 A BAY
T(
The house this morning adopted
house joint resolution 17 calling for
a raise in pay of legislators from I
$3 to $5 a day. The proposed con-'
stltutlonal amendment would be
submitted to the people. It la a
companion resolution to No. 18
scheduled for third reading early
this afternoon. The latter would
provide for a dividing session of
the legislature, a 20 day session
starting on the first Monday of
December, a 20 day Interim, and
then a closing 20 day session of
20 days. Representative Carkin
explained the latter resolution, de
claring that It would do away with
rush legislation and afford time
for thorough study of measures in-
troduced.
The house alto passed house
resolution No. 1 calling for a con
stltutlonal amendment consolidat
ing stata departments. Only ten
divlslDns would be authorised un
der the resolution.
House joint resolution No. I was
also passed. It provides that of
fice vacanci?a occuring moro than
20 days prior to election would be
filled at the general election rath
er than by appointment by the
governor. The resolution would
amend the constitution.
Tho move in the legislature to
resurrect the old tax supervising
and conservation commissions for
various counties of the state will
meet no opposition from the Mar
lon county court, County Judge
Hunt stated today.
It makes no difference to us
whether the law is passed, or
whether it Is not," state Judge
Hunt. "We are not afraid to have
our budget Inspected and pulsed
on by a commission similar to the
one named beCore the original law
was declared unconstitutional.
"Our budget is trimmed riuht
down to the lowest possible sail it
can carry and any fair minded com
tmltee will be unable to find any
thing In it to criticize or cut. Of
course thero are some few people
In tho county. If on such a com
mission, could do endless damage.
They would be opposed to every
kind of Improvement. There are
others who would be just the other
way and favor things which the
taxpayers cannot afford. Hut a
fair-minded committee would find
our budget just as low as possible
proportionate to normal progress
nnd a reasonable conduct of af-
airs of tha county."

Sim Pate and Pete Sullivan,

sentenced to 15 years, entered tH
penitentiary this morning as one
of the final chanters In the Klam
ath county tragedy when Oacar
Peteraon was shot and killed in
the holdup of a poker game. Tay
lor, Informer, received a lesser
sentence presumably because of
assistance given to the state in
clearing up the myaery. The niin
wore brought here by Deputy
Sheriffs E. X. Kendall and J. II.
Kimsey, who went on from hero
to Vancouver barracks with a de
serter from the army named Don
aldson. The three Klamath murderers
were here in the sheriff's office
for a time this morning wafting

it was evident from their demean

Pate and Sullivan have their way.
Taylor held very much aloff from
the other two men and they show
ed no disposition of frieiidtinees
toward him. The other two bull
deny 'their implication in the
shooting affray for which they
were convicted largely on Taylor's
evidence.
The mystery of the shooting was
solved mainly through the Instru
mentality of W. H. Perkins, for
merly a newspaperman in Salem
and many years resident here.
