Organizitlou of The Hoosb Orfgon
Again
Secures Good Positions.
Editor Gazette: It has been shown
that our etfitn has been handsomely re
cognized in the organization ct the sen
ate. Now that the bouse is in working
order Oregon has similar reason for sat
isfaetioD. 8-jrue newspaper man at borne
lately made tbe critioism, that Oregon
representatives wonld arrive bere too
late to acquire suitable plaoes on con
gressional oomittees: Lnt tbe writer
who thus bewailed oan reverse the criti
oism then made and possess bis soul in
patience, with some little faith that there
is taot as well as brains at work to far
ther Oregon interests. .
The sacoess for oar state in the past
to secure appropriations for importau
objeots, was greatly due to the faot tha
we had good workers on both honse and
senate committees: Usually there were
members on the same committee in eaoh
bouse, who worked to advantage to se
oure legislation and win appropriations,
This was instanced when Senator Dolph
was on tne senats oommittee tor rivers
aud harbors and Representative Her
maon on the similur bouse committee
as bv working together their lnflnenoe
was produotive of good results. It was
tbe remurk of all statesmen that for
yoars, when that was the case, Oreg n
secured far more money appropriated
for rivers and harbors in proportion to
representation, than any other state in
the anion.
Tbis taot was so well apprecia'ed aud
matters so well handled that although
our memberes were not hare in advance
of tbe opeuiog of oongress, the repre
seutiilion of Oregon on committees is all
that can be reasonably asked for, and
greater, considerably, than tbe majority
of memtiers possess, a morning paper
tells an amusing aneodote of a mem
ber of the house from Ghioago, who
approached tbe speaker with smiling
faoe and made tbe remark that be felt
proud o! belonging to one very import
ant oomrnitteH. Sneaker flendt-rson ex
pressed his gr-itificmiou that the honor
able geutleman whs pleased and inquired
what committee he referred to. The
answer was "1 am a member of the oom
mittee of the whole." Indeed though
from an imperial city he had been ap
pointed to hat one very immaterial posi
tiou. " " And thto-wao not au' lsol.'.vM instance.
Ihere are other mtmbers of the house
who serve on no important committees,
which greatly restricts their lufliieuce.
it usually requires experience aud ser
vice, 10 piaoe a ruemoer where be ou
oommaud position on influential oom
mittees. In the senate there are ninety
members, imd at present there are five
vaoaucies. The membership of tut
house is 356, four times that of the
senate when full. As there are tbe eiunr
oommittics'in eaob, the ohance for posi
tion is four times us good in the house
as in tbe sanate. Tbis will show that
Oregon has been well treated aud prove
that some good work was done t J secure
it. Tbe pressure for important position
is very great: Speaker Henderson must
have a very friendly feeling toward our
state to plaoe Mr. Tongue as be does,
and to put Mr. Moody, a new member,
on three differect oommittees. Saob
result is not aohieved at haphazard so
it is safe to imagine good management
somewhere.
Rivers aud harbors was tbe oommittee
where Mr. Hermann was so successful at
the time when Mr. Dolph was in the
senate and a member of the same com
mittee tberd, and they worked together
so successfully. It was oonoeded that
no representative bad ever achieved so
mnoh for big stute as did Hermann, but
that was greatly doe to having bad an
elTioieut ally iu the senate.
Two oougresses later we fled Mr.
Tongue on the house committee, as Mr.
Hermann bud been, while (Senator Mo
Iiride fills the similar place on tbe
senate committee that Mr. Dolph did
aforetime. The labors of these two
should so harmonize us to secure valu
able results.
Mr. Tongue is also chairman of too
boufce committee for irrigation and recla
mation of arid lands , if wbiob Mr. Ellis
was formerly chairmm; benator Simon
being a memeber of the corresponding
committee in tbe senate. These two
positi in plaoe the senior Oregon mem
ber iu good shape before congress.
Rivers and harbor is a very important
committee aud effirt had to be made to
secure it; be snoo eded where many in
fliieiitiul men failed. Tois speaks well
for hi in personally and confirms the fiict
as to the Hpeakei's friendly feeling for
our state us well as fur its representa
tives. Any one not a vare of the con
ditions and oofitinenoi'j that attend
coiigrestl'inal life may not be able to
apprcoiute fully as to the vtlue of ootn
m fee appointments
Mr. Moody is a L.r.v inen,br and few
men ob'aiu important positions on coro-njitlet-K.
It must bf b rne in mind tbat
ei.ch Lucm has nearly the suiue Com
mitttts, but it is for reupouu stated much
more dilb'i!t to obtain good places in
the honse.
Mr. Moody is ! member of the com.
uiitteeoo public lauds; another oom
mittee tbat Oregon is greatly interested
in, and of txinob valae to tbe nation.
Id this he follows f'.ia predecessor, Mr.
! liis, a recognition tlmt Oregon is oue
of the publn land status, s ua interested.
Tbia h pomtioo new cii mherg seldom
fill at tbe first eeeaioo. Ai Betator Mo-
Bride is on the corresponding senate
committee bere is another instanoa
where Oregon is well represented.
There is as mnoh in possessing taot as
iu doing head work or bard work, so we
oan pleasantly realize tbat matters have
beei well managed to seoure each high
standing,
Mr. Moody is also on mines and min
ing, tbat covers great questions, and on
expenditures in tbe interior department.
As a new member be has oause to feel
complimented by appointment on these
good committees. I osnnot say how be
was so fortunate, bat know that he has
reason to believe tbat his congressio lal
oareer opens auspiciously. SAC.

THE KAUMEKS' SHORT COUK8K.
(Oregon Agricultural College and Experiment
Station,)
An especial effort is being put forth by
the Htate Agricultural O jllege to make
tbe coming winter short ooarse for
farmers, which will be held from Jan
uary 9th to February 21, inoluaive,
stronger in every partioular and more
intensely educational along the lines ot
praotioal husbandry than those which
have preoeded it. The objeot ot tbe
course is for the dissemination ot praoti
oal information io the various braoobes
ot farming, and for tbe teaohing of
modern methods, the outgrowth of
scientific research, thereby stimulating
production, lessenlug the arduous duties
ot the farmer, and yet increasing tha
revenues of tbe farm. This ooarsa will
consist of nus baudred leotures and ex.
ercisee, including tbe teohuioal and
practical features of general agriculture,
horticulture, dairying, veterinary
science, stock feeding anl breeding,
poully raising, etc.
In addition to this, several leotures
will be delivered by prominent men oa
economic questions that are of especial
interest to farmers. Tbe last three days
of tbe ooarse will be devoted exclusively
to tbo dtscussioas of problem! la f rait
growing, at wbicb time prominent fruit
gruwers and members of fruitgrowers'
orKanizatious throughout the (tats are
expected to be io attendance, and ws
anticipate tbat this will be one ot tbs
most notable gatherings ot representa
tive liorticulturi-ts ever witnessed io the
eta'e.
The course is freu to everyone. 8pe
