Senator Bingham Accuses Jackson of !
Jobbery.
Salem, "1.. I'd', a. iSpmal.i
Senator ltingh.an'H in- was aroiis' ,1 !
this morning by infoi inatioa that i
bill by IM wards of Lane, to li the j
boundary line between li.uu- and
Poughis comities, had been n fei red
upon motion of Jackson of lhjug I
las', to a special committee of which
Jackson is chairman. Ja. I.s ,11 is
Hiipposed to be opposi d to the hill,
hence the anger ot the senator liuin '
I, anc. He hurried into the ho isc 1
and told the l.ane licpl esentat lies
11l1.1t lie thought of thin action in
letting Hie bill get into the hands
of the enemy, and thei- went after '
-Jackson j
' I want you to understand that j
we are- not going to have any hold- '
ii business with that Lane-1 hmglas
boundary," lie exclaimed, with
some warmth.
Jackson disclaimed any intention
ol trying to strangle the measure
in committee, but liiughani thought
his getting possession of thn bill
justified his getting anxious about
it. Latr Jackson went over to the
.Senate to renew his assurances ol
friendship, and Senator r.ingham
repeated his warning, adding:
"If there is any attempt to hold
up that bill, I'll make trouMo for
you."
The bill was introduced in the
House by Kd wards and provides
for the annexation to tho southern
part of Lane County of 1 section of
tho Bohemia mining district, in
cluding iu all about a section and a
half of mineral land. Mr. Kdwards
introduced tho bill on petition of
the owners and mines and the oper ators
of the properties, who desire
to withdraw from Jackson County
for tho reason that tho railroad in
terests are more directly attached
toLano County. At the piesent
time these people were instructed
to use roads constructed by Lano
County and a braueh railroad that
has been built to a point within o
miles ot the mines.
In order to reach th" piiucipal
points in Jackson County from iho
minos, a jourucy of betweon (10 and
70 miles over tho mountains by a
route that is impassable u part of
each year is necessary. Oregonian.
