INVENTS NEW "COLD LIGHT"
French Scientist May Revolution
ise Electric Lighting.
F’aris— M. Dussaud, a French scient
ist, who has discovered a means for
the production of what he terms "cold
light," has made public some details
of his discovery, which it is thought
may revolutionize electric lighting.
He has constructed an electric lamp
in which the light is concentrated on
a single point and thence ia projected
through a lens, magnifying a thousand
fold. Thus he has succeeded in con-
contesting a 2000-candle power light
on one point, and in passing 32 volts
into an eight-volt lamp, with which
the ordinary light would burst.
Experiments with this lamp have
established that the new light abso
lutely is without danger, as no heat is
given off and it required 100 times
less current than the ordinary lamp.
It can be worked by a tiny battery or
sufficient motive power can be ob
tained from a jet of water from an or
dinary faucet or even a squirrel turn
ing a cage. The light has been tried
with great success in the Biarritz light
house, and M. Dussaud is working on
its application to searchlights for the
ministry of war.
PARCEL POST CHICKEN
ON ROAD TOO LONG
Portland—A chicken that had [spoil
ed in transit arrived in Portland Wed-
nesday by parcel post from an interior
town in Nebraska. The package was
properly wrapped, directed and had 34
cents in stamps attached, but the four
or more days' travel in steam-heated
postal cars had spoiled the pullet for
eating purposes and it was delivered
to the city garbage crematory in post
haste. Of such disposition of parcel
post matter no record is kept, as the
sender transmits, the package at his
own risk and the postoffiee authorities
are expected to use only the same care
as is given other classes of mail mat

BIG PLUMS FOR MULTNOMAH
Democrats Get Chairmanships on
Five Important Committees.
State Capitol, Salem -James D. Ab
bott, of Multnomah, is chairman of
the ways and means committee of the
house of representatives. Multnomah
county also drew another important
assignment in the appointment of J.
T. Latourette to the chairmanship of
the judiciary committee.
Westerlund, of Jackson, one of the
leading orchardists of the Rogue River
valley, is chairman of the committee
on horticulture. Reams, of Jackson,
is chairman of the committee on rail
roads. The chairmanship of the com
mittee on printing, likely to be im
portant by reason of the proposal to
repeal the law placing the printer on a
flat salary, passed in 1911, went to
Eaton of Lane.
Speaker McArthur gave the import
ant chairmanships of expositions and
fairs, judiciary, labor industries, res
olutions and ways and means to Mult
nomah county.
Multnomah gets 12
chairmanships out of the 41.
The important chairmanships going
to outside counties are: Assessment
and taxation, banking, educations,
fisheries, game, insurance, irrigation,
railroads, revision of laws and roads
and highways.
Democrats were given chairman
ships on the committees on agricul
ture, forestry and conservation, game
and railroads.
All other chairman
ships go to the Republicans. No mem
ber has more than one chairmanship
nor more than four committee places.
FIGHT OVER
VETOED
BILLS
Measures Killed in 1911 Come Up
for Reconsideration.
State Capitol, Salem—War to the
finish will be declared between con
flicting factions of the state senate
when the governor's vetoed bills come
up for final disposition, and determin
ation wiQ be reached as to whether
Governor West or Treasurer Kay will
have a dominating influence in that
body.
When the judiciary committee met
for a final consideration of vetoed sen
ate bills the two that affect the ad
ministration vitally were given long
consideration. These are bills which
were introduced in 1911 by Wood, of
Washington. One provides that it
shall be unlawful for any official, trus-
tee, manager, director or superintend
ent or board of commissioners of any
public institution to create a defi
ciency.
In event of a deficiency where the
life of the institution is imperiled a
board of emergency including the gov
ernor, secretary of state and state
treasurer, with the speaker of the
house, president of the senate and the
chairmen of the two ways and means
committees, may meet and cover such
an emergency. Any other means of
covering an institutional decfieincy
carries a heavy penalty under the bill.
The other Wood bill prevents the sec
retary of state from auditing a claim
for which there is no appropriation.
West is opposed to these two bills.
Kay is heartily in favor of them, ac
cording to numerous statements made
in the judiciary committee meeting.
Change in Registration Act.
State Capitol, Salem To provide
that when an elector has once regis
tered in a precinct, he need not regis
ter again until he changes his resi
dence is the main object of a bill
which was intoduced in the senate by
Carson, of Marion. The bill also pro
vides that all who did not register in
1912 must register with a notary pub
lic, justice of the peace or county clerk.
In addition to these provisions the hill
also prohibits anyone from voting in
the state unless he is registered, as in
the act provided.
Requires Physical Examination.
State Capitol, Salem No marriage
license will Ijp issued in the state un
less the application is accompanied by
a certificate from a practicing physi
cian that the male party to the mar
riage has been examined by such phy
sician at least 12 hours prior to the
ceremony and that he is physically fit
to enter into such marriage contract,
should a bill introduced by Senator
Dimick become a law.
Salem Appropriation bills making
demands on the state treasury to the
extent of $1,078,700 have been intro
duced in the Oregon legislature during
the first week of the session. Thia ia
a double reconi breaker, as it ia the
first time that appropriation bills have
ever been introduced during the first
week.
This does not include the big appro
priation bills which are to come and
which will probably carry about $4,-
500,000, or perhaps more. Should this
pace be kept up for two or three
weeks then* is a possibility of the
appropriation bills ninning riot, but
many of the bills that have been in
troduced will be badly slaughten*d or
the appropriations which they carry
will be sliced with no gentle hand.
The actual total of the appropria
tions which are included in the bills so
far introduced is $1,578,700, but two
of the bills an* duplicati**, each carry
ing an appropriation of $500,000 for
the I’anama-I’acific exposition.
It seems to be a pretty well settled
fact that this appropriation will not
get past the $250,000 mark nt the
outside, although sonic of the mem
bers are boosting for $300,000. A
great number of them have settled on
$200,000 as the proper figun*, while
others an* even anxious to go lower
than that.
The appropriation of $15,000 for the
biennial period, which has been intro
duced in connection with McArthur's
bill establishing a state board of con
trol, is really a substitute appropria
tion for a similar amount which is car
ried in the State l*urchasing board
appropriation bill, which was passed
two years ago.
In event the Mc
Arthur bill goes through, it will virtu
ally do away with the State lhirchas-
ing board by placing the duties of that
board with the state ta/ard of control.
A few of the bills have been intro
duced for agricultural ex|H*riment sta
tions. One of these is for Coos coun
ty, while another bill makes provision
for an argicuitural test farm also in
Coos county.
Further requests are
made for an experiment station in
Clatsop county and an experiment sta
tion in Malheur county.
The appropriation of $3000 a year
which is carried for the salary of the
governor's secretary ia practically a
duplicate of the present cost to the
state for that office. Now he acts as
clerk of several boards of the various
instituions. In event the Board of
Control bill goes through these duties
would be taken from him and his sal
ary dropped to $1200 a year, the ob
ject of the bill being to keep his sal
ary at the ¡»resent mark.
The appropriation of $50,000 car
ried in the public levee bill, according
to the plan stated by the introducers
of the bill, will not come as a dead
loss to the state.
The introducers
state that the $50,000 is inserted in
the bill to provide for reimbursing the
railroad company in event it is deter
mined that the Southern Pacific has
any vested rights in the levee property
on which is located the West Side sta
tion.
Several $50,000 appropriations are
included in the list of bills which have
been introduced. Among these are in
cluded an appropriation for the State
Bureau of Mines, one for the estab
lishment of a state reformatory at Sa
lem; another for investigation of the
water resources of the state, another
for an industrial accident commission,
and another to .reimburse certain In
dian War veterans.
These are by no means the last of
the bills to come which will carry ap
propriations in addition to the appro
priations of magnitude which will be
included in the institutional bills by
the ways and means committee.
The State Board of Agriculture con
templates introducing a bill providing
for $100,000 for the construction of a
pavilion at the State Fair grounds, as
well as also asking for the usual ap
propriation for premiums and some
money to pay for State Fair défi
ciences.
In addition numerous other appro
priation requests will be thrown into
the jackpot during the next week or
so.
.
To Protect Wage Workers.
Salem- Drastic provisions are con
tained in a bill which will be intro
duced by Senator J. C. Smith, of Jo
sephine, early in the next week of the
session. The bill makes provision
that all corporations, firms or individ
uals employing working men or work
ing women at a regular salary or rate
of wages, or purchases supplies for
the maintenance of the business, shall
before entering into such employment
or making such purchase maintain a
cash reserve to meet all accounts for
wages or supplies.
Initiative Draws Fire.
Salem The initiative and referen
dum and the corrupt practices act are
being made in prospect the subject of
numerous mendatory acts at the pres
ent session of the legislature, but ac
cording to indications the majority of
the amendments to these acts which
have already been proposed will meet
with scant favor from the committees
to which they have been referred.
FERRY
Enterprising Aviator Makes Money
On Passenger Route.
San Francisco
That aviation is
soon to be placed upon a commercial
basis In San Francisco hus boon evi
denced by W. H. Buttner, fiscal agent
of the newly incorporated Aerial
Yacht company, who has just filed du
plicate articles at the office of County
Clerk Mulerevy.
Thia company, which not only will
provide for the institution of aerial
navigation, but also plana to institute
hydro aeroplane ferry service In the
near future bet ween this city and bay
pointe, is the outgrowth of a newly in
vented craft, designed by Silas Chris
tofferson, of Vancouver, Wash., said
to be the last word in nuuto-aerial effi
ciency.
In model his flying ls»at ia similar to
the Curtis hydro-aeroplane, but many
innovations which tend to the comfort
and safety of those on Itoard have been
added.
It ia deaigned to carry two passen
gers besides the pilot and will be lux
uriously finished in mahogany, with
deep upholstered seats not unlike those
of an automobile.
Instead of the usual pontoons, a Iwint
has been provided, which can be in
stantly detached from the flying ap
paratus, so that in case of accident
the t>oat can lie driven through the
water under its own power.
The hull is 24 feet long and three
feet wide, with a floating ca|»aeity of
4000 pounds, divided into six airtight
compartments The engine, which is
set in the boat, is a Curtis 80-horse
power model, and the power will l»e
transmitted to the propeller by chain.
The boat is entirely covered over, ex
cepting by the cockpit, which ia pro
tected by a rising hood, uffording pro
tection from spray.
The engine is
equip|a*d with a self starter and the
plane ia provided with an electrical
lighting system. The exhaust from
the motor is so arranged as to heat the
seating space in case of cold weather.
Many prominent men have been tak
en on short flights by Christofferson,
and much interest has followed the ap-
¡»earance of the new craft.
Young Christofferson is making con
siderable money taking passengers for
short flights over the bay, for which
he charges a large fee. A number of
society women have braved the ele
ments in thia way and are daring their
friends to follow their example.
ARMED INDIANS
DEFY OFFICERS
Angry Utes Refuse to Surren

Fortified in Mountains, With Rifles
and Ammunition, Arc Big
Rabbit and Friends.
Cortex, Colo. Determined not to
deliver Big Rabbit, one of their tribes
men, to the county authorities to an
swer u (charge of assault, the 50 Ute
Indians who are entrenched in the
mountains 18 miles from here, defied u
sheriff’s posse of 100 men.
The Indiana fortified their ¡smition
after they left the Ute reservation in
Southern Colorado, and, declare they
will fight the white men to death
rather than give up Big Rubbit.
Indian Agent S|M*ar has been appeal
ed to by the county authorities, in the
ho|M< that he might be able to induce
the Indians to return to the reserva
tion and surrender Big Rabbit.
Spear's advances, however, were re
buffed, and he has telegraphed the In
terior department in Washington for
instructions.
Spear said he would
take no further action until he hail
heard from Washington.
As soon as the Utes learned that
Big Rabbit was wanted by the sheriff,
who would ¡dace him under arrest to
face the charge of having shot Joseph
Vichel, a Mexican sheepherder, the
Indian's friends departed with him in
to the mountains.
All are armed with repeating rifles
anil are said to be amply supplied with
ammunition. Sheriff Gawith learned
Sunday of the revolt.
With a few
deputies he hastened to the Indiana’
stronghold, but was met by threaten
ing rifles. A messenger friendly to
the Indians was sent to talk with the
leaders of the band. They refused to
enter into any agreement which meant
the surrender of their companion.
The sheriff retreated to Cortez and
swore in 100 deputies, thinking he
could awe the Indians into submission
by a show of greater strength. When
the posse arrived at the pass where
the Indiana were fortified it was found

Hight-Hour Law Is Expensive.
Washington, D. C. Statistics com
piled at the Navy department show
that the effect of the eight-hour law
passed by the last session of congress
has been an increased cost |a*r ton for
battleship construction of $32. The
cost of eight battleships built prior to
the passage of the eight-hour law was
$183 a ton displacement. Under the
new law the cost jumped to $215 per
ton. The eight-hour law is a hindrance
to repairng of government vessels on
the Great Lakes, as the shipyards
there still work under the old schedule.
Juarez Again in Fear.
MODISTES ARE MUCH INJURED
Wilson’s Decision to Forego Inaug

New York In all parts of the coun
try the decision of President-elect
Wilson to have no inaugural ball has
dismayed modistes and milliners. It
ia estimated that the omission of the
traditional Washington festival will
mean ii loss of $1,500,000 to them,
thia amount being usually s[n-nt for
gowns, hats, wraps and clothes spe
cially designed for the event. Some
orders given in a tentative way had
already been receivisi here for gowns
to be worn at the ball, and those who
hail set the machinery in motion to
get them expressed keen dianpfstint-
ment. The styles which would have
been appropriate for the ball would
not have been actually ready until
early next month, as this ia now be
tween seasons and the dressmaking es
tablishments arc working with re
duced forces.
There would have been many order»
for gowns in some establishments.
One large house which was about to
establish a branch tem|s>rarily in a
Washington hotel to look after the
supplying of inauguration costumes,
decided not to do so.
Another estab
lishment is in receipt of several orders
for gowns suitable for the function
nnd is uncertain whether to proceed
with the making of the garments.
