ONE SENATOK'S NOSE BROKEN Hunt Demands to Knew What Portland Porpoass to Do About That 8nbs!dy The OrtgoD City Locks Open. Olympia, March 25. The pro ceedings of the legislature to-day were marked by a series of sensa tional incidents. The house was anxious to get through its work this week ana yesterday, deckrd to begin the session at 9 o'clock. A number of members was angry at this move and succeeded in troing one step further and adjourned the house till 8 o'clock. This morning when the house was called to order a number of members were absent and a call of the house was ordered. The doors were locked, and pending trie call several mem bers arrived and demanded admit tance. Among them was Brown, of Spokane. Finding tho door barred he burst it open and en gaged in a struggle with Ehman, assistant sergeant-at arms, succeed ing in forcing him out of the way and going inside the bar to his seat. A committee was appointed to investigate Brown's unruly conduct. The committee recommended that he be reprimanded by the speaker. This was done this afternoon, Brown accepting the censure in good part. Afterwards on going out to the front of the capitol he was accosted by Ehman, who referred jocularly to Brown's reprimand. This somewhat nettled Brown and he replied to Ehman that he would call it square if he (Ehman) would pay hi m $o he owed him. Ehman replied insultingly that he would pay him when he got ready. Thereupon Brown replied that he was a bummer and had been for a long time "doing up" members in this way. Ehman re plied by striking Btown two fer ritin blows iu the face, breaking his nose and nearly knocking him down. They were separated by some of the members. Brown was taken to the hospital.

The problem of shearing sheep economically and speedily has been solved by the use of the electric motor in conjunction with a new shearing machine, invented by Frederic Yoik Wolselt-y, a brother of the eminent General bearing that name. The method of using the shears is very sinple, the operator having merely to throw a friction wheel into adjust ment by means of a handle, and then push the comb into the wool, pressing it continuously forward and keeping it as closely as jKissi ble to the body of the animal being operated upon. From one to 100 shears can be operated atone time acording to the power used. By this mode tne shearing is done more mercifully than when done by hand shears, especially when performed as "piece work." The loss from injuries, primarily due to shearing by hand, reckoned at no less than 1 per cent of the ani mal" operated upon, is entirely avoided; while the pelts, being free from cuts, Ktabs and holes, command a readier and better market. The operators . them selves are protected from the numerous self-inflicted injuries to which thev are liable when using the ordinary hand shears; while sore wrists, aching hands, swollen arms, cuts and stabs are now all alike regarded as things of the past. The time occupied in shear ing the sheep bv the new method is only from tnree and one-hall to five minutes. As the machine takes the whole of the wool oil' at one operation all second cuts are avoided, and tnus considerable saving in time is affected. Celtic n Bale Baxaar.

People who are prejudiced agaiiint the Willamette valley, or who desire to prejudice others, often make the remark that "it rains thirteen months every year in Oregon," and such would be witty remarks. The report of Thomas l'earce. of Eola, for the twenty years from January 1, 1870, to December 31, 1889, ehowe that during that time there were 2272 davs on which rain fell. This is an average of 113 days out of each year for twenty years on which rain fell in tne Mamette vallev. The rainest year during this period was 1871, which had 141 days on which rain fell, and the dryest year was 1883, which had only 1)2 rainv davs. The glory of this rich valley is the fact that she has rain enongh every year to insure abundant crops. We have had an average of 113 rainy days every year for twenty year's, but never a failure of crops. Salem Statesman. Fin Saltings. W. R.
