REMARKS.
Munger was excused by the Rpeaker
from serving on the committee on print
ing. There have been no bills on their third
reading yet, although it will be seen that
both houses made good progress to-day
in the matter of second reading.
The president of the senate named
Senators 1 lare and Chandler as the two
extra members of the senate committee
on public lands. The other three mem
tiers ot that committee are Cartwrigbt,
Barin and Stanley.
The house standing committees nearly
all met to-night, and organized, and are
now getting ready for active work. I he
clerks have nearly all been "selected'!
and the average legislator, and commit
teeman heaves a long-drawn sigh of re
lief.
The order of business tomorrow is
still the second reading of bills, and it is
likely that routine business will occupy
the entire day. Some fun may be ex
pected next week, however, when some
of the members get up to "air their pet
measures."
None of the special committees have
submitted a report as yet, and the Colum
bia river improvement committee is the
only one having done any work so fur.
The committees to investigate the books
of the state treasurer, the secretary of
state and clerk of the board of school
land commissioners, anil to visit the asy
lum, penitentiary and mute pchool will
probably all do sume work before the end
of the week.
The following joint committees have
been named since last report: To visit
the school for deaf mutes, Wilson, Little
and Crockett on the part of the house,
and Hare and Hamilton of the senate;
to investigate that part of the governor's
inaugural as relates to Chinese labor,
house, Monger, McLean and Taylor, sen
ate, Bird and Veatch ; to visit and report
on the condition and workings of the state
normal school T!t Monmouth, house, Wil
son, Blundell and Daly, senate, Watts
and Stanley.
The house has several good speakers,
as has the senate. In the house, Messrr.
Benjamin of Douglas, Daly of Polk, liil
yeu of Lane, McLean of Klamath and
Lake, Harrington of Multnomah, and
others have already held the attention of
the house. In the senate, "Harry" Mil
ler of Josephine is still in the lead, and
Joe Simon of Multnomah, Siglin of Coos,
Weatberford of Linn and Lee of Polk are
considered the best and clearest speakers,
although Chamberlin of Marion knows
how to state his ideas to the perfect un
derstanding of his hearers. There are
really more good sjieakers than have been
iw these halls for two or three terms.
Salem, Jan. 10.
This was another quiet day in both
branches of the legislature, routine busi
ness being the order. Both houses are
away ahead of the printer, and early ad
journments occurred in both bodies.
However a great deal of work was gotten
away w ith, as w ill be readily observed by
a perusal of the extended report. The
standing committees have begun to work
hard, and some reports may be looked
for by the first or middle of next week.

Assessing the City. Recorder Stick
ler occupies his spare time in making up
the assessment roll of the city. There is

probable that the aggregate amount of
the value of the city's property will be
us great as it was last year, as the stand
ard of assessment will not be so high.
