GOVERNOR BENtON HAE IEEUED
FORMAL CALL
Proclmtlo 8pelfl That Call For
Bptolal ttlng or i.eoiaiiur
pvclal lo of Ltfltlatur
for tut Institution.
Governor Bnon Utuod the pro
clamation at 8alm at week, calHnf
pecla) lon of the Legislature to
convene at tne capltol at 10 a, m.,
M.rrh 15. 1909. to enact the
appropriation bill, that tailed of legal
passage at the regular aeasioa.
in..irfnallv to cura aome of the
numeroua defect that crept Into bllU
paiaed at the regular aeaaion.
It la claimed that a large majority
.. members bare pledged them-
solve not to enact any new legialatlon
but to attend atrictiy ana ouiy
curing the defect that have been un
covered, in making the call Governor
Demon aaya:
"Failure to appropriate money for
Improvement at the Insane Asylum,
penttentltary, reform school, blind
penitentiary, reform achool, blind
oldlera home for the next two
yeara would place these Institutions
.a thr inmates In a sorry and In
tome Instance a dangerous plight Tb
asylum ha accommoaauona lor
patient, but there are 1571 patient
there now and the Institution l
crowded beyond Ita capacity. The
steady Increa In the population of
our state warranta the prediction that
there will be more than 1700 patients
before the next regular session of the
Legislature, and for this reason,
additional room at this Institution Is
. .n.r of absolute necessity.
"The entire asylum building Is sadly
In need of a system of fire protection
and also a central heating plant, The
construction of this central heating
plant would aave the state aomethlng
like $50,000 a year In the purchase of
fuel, and would lessen the fire risk.
At the present time there 1 little or
no fire protection for the unfortunate
ward of the state who are confined
In the asylum".

EAT OREGON APPLES
Apples Taste Good to' King
Edward
A most Interesting acknowledgment
of the apples sent by the Portland
Commercial Club to King Edward
comes In a letter from Buckingham
Palace, written by General D. M.
Brobyn, Keeper of the Privy Purse
to His Majesty King Edward, to one
of Oregon's best known and most
respected citizens, R. E. Brereton.
A little extract from General
Brobyn's letter Is Interesting:
"The five boxes of apples which
were sent to His Majesty arrived
quite safely and were thought vrye
highly of by the king and others who
tasted them. I write lo coliviy hi
Mjty'a thauk for the fruit.
Should we all live for another
Christmas, and If you will kindly send
directly to me at Bandrlngbam a mall
upply of then apple, writing oie
letter warning me of their dispatch,
I promt to bring them to th notice
Of the King and HI Majesty' guet
assembled at Sandrtngham at that
season of the year, and will give you
a full report of them".

spring clothing, some awell new pat

"You people out here in Oregon have
got everything that could be desired
as an Inducement to home seekers.
It is true that I have come here when
the country does not show off at Its
best, but I have seen enough to sat
isfy me that the best years of my
life have been spent In sections of
the United States which have no com
parison to Oregon. I believe that I
can say In all seriousness that Oregoi
leads all other states with Induce
ments for new comers, and there is
no question that you will have them.
Yes, I am coming back to Oregon as
soon as I can get my affairs closed
up in South Dakota.
