The Governor urges the strict en forcement of the depository act of 1907, to safeguard the state against conditions similar to those of the fi nancial stringency of that year. He asks for the consideration of meas ures leading to a uniform system and taxation throughout several counties of the state. Dwelling at some length on state institutions, he recommends addition al facilities and Increased accommo dations at the asylum for the insane; advises the use of convict labor on the state highways, with reasonable pay for the men, to be devoted to the support of their families and calls at tention to many minor details devel oping at other state institutions. He heartily recommends state and federal co-operation in the move to ward the conservation of natural re sources for the purpose of bringing about the enactment of a uniform code, and for collecting definite in formation as to the resources of the state, urging the creation of a com mission by act of Legislature to do this work.

DELIVERS HIS MESSAGE suDjeci He asks for the complete state or federal control of streams and he par ticularly calls the attention of the legislators to the urgent necessity of more comprehensive legislation, as to this as one of the most important powers have been appropriated by corporations and individuals, not for present aid sometimes, not even for future use, but for purposes of specu lation. There is some evidence that a deliberate purpose has been formed by persons of other states who under stand and know the future uses to which these powers may be put, to acquire, under laws now in force, the unappropriated powers of mountains and other streams." For a second time he calls the leg islators' attention to the need of An employers' liability law, but outlines one much more comprehensive and,njne vears, it has proved a most ex- . i . ., . 1 : i Kim I ... . . . it - rigid than in his message in 1907 A unique feature of the message is a recommendation against con cealed weapons for the legislation to prevent the carrying of concealed weapons, asking that a law be enact ed to prohibit the sale of firearms to anyone not carrying a hunter's li cense and not provided with a per mit to purchase weapons, the permit to be issued by the sheriff or circuit court. He asks the consideration of a bill for a non-partisan judiciary, suggest ing the arrangement of the candi dates on the ballots without disclos ing their party affiliations. The Governor mentions a bank guaranty plan, suggesting that a law similar to that of Oklahoma would be salutary, but urges caution in the passage of a bill which might work hardship on the bankers. The Governor asks the Legislature to carefully consider a plan to in crease the number of bupreme Judges by two or re-enact the law providing for a temporary commis sion to avoid constitution provisions. He states that the proposition at the last election was voted down because it contained so many "riders" and at tempted to wrest from the people the power of decreasing and increasing the number of Justices.

Speaking of the Willamette lot he says in part: - "The canal and locks ought to be owned and operated free of charge by the United States, but If Congress declines to act they should be owned and operated by the state and this unjust burden removed from enter prise and Industry of the people."

There's a difference of opinion among trans-continental railroads as to the rates to bo made to Oregon during 1909, but there is assurance that the regular rate is to be cut so as to make travel very heavy, and every indication that the one-way colonist ticket will cost less than at any time during the past two years. A Religious Author's Statement. For several years I was afflicted with kidney trouble and last winter I was suddenly stricken with a severe pain in my kidneys and was confined to bed eight days unable to get up without assistance. My urine con tained a thick white sediment and I passed same frequently day and night I commenced taking Foley's Kidney Remedy and the pain gradually abat ed and finally ceased and my urine became normal.

At one farmhouse . out of Monmouth a mile or two many birds which were al most frozen to death were picked up and cared for. They were taken to the house ana in many cases rev.veu, while In other they died from the effect of hunger and exposure The Enterprise is Informed that this good household saved many birds from an unumeiy ena. 11 is ceruumy a. uio tresslng sight to see the pheasants sitting out in the deep snow when the thermometer Is as low as it has been during this storm with absolutely no available shelter or supply of food except what is sup plied to them by thoughtful farmers. There is no doubt that great num bers of them will perish this winter, together with the quail of yie valley which have begun to. be quite plen tiful. Quail will suffer most as they are least domestic In nature, of any of the game birds of the valley. Tlrey will not leave their thicket but will starve to death as they huddle to gether in hiding. The buds of the trees are frozen and covered with ice and the bugs are buried safely from them under twelve inches of snow, so that there is no escaping starvation unless it is through the country. It has been discovered by resid ents that birds are taking refuge from the storm in the hedges of the city and food has been generously thrown out to them. At the home of Dr. Butler great numbers have sought shelter in the archway of hedge at the entrance of his prem ises. These he has taken great care to supply with food and drink. They have had comfortable shelter there. Other residents report that birds in large numbers have found refuge in woodhouses, barns and other build ings, while housewives have fed flocks of birds at their doors. It is particularly interesting to note that these same birds return day after day for their ration of food, which frnm .5 t() 20 Oil When You Sit Down To a Meal In this rmuuraiii mu r oure It will be fXo-llrnt lo ftMxi. i-oiikliiif anil wrvlrv.
