Continuous Trip From New
to Buenos Ayres Soon.
Washington, D. C The linking of
the Americas by . rail would be of
great value as a peace propaganda
among the different countries of North
and South America, in the opinion of
Andrew Carnegie. This belief was
exhibited by Mr. Carnegie at a meet
ing here of the permanent Pan-Ameri
can Railway committee, of which he
is a member, when reports of the link
ing of the Americas by rail were read,
indicating that progress is being made
towards this project.
Henry Gassaway Davis, former sen
ator from West Virginia, presided at
the meeting.
In Central America only 18 miles of
line remain to be constructed to make
practical a railway journey to Guate
mala City. Construction is well un
der way at San Miguel, Salvador.
From this point to the Panama canal,
600 miles away, several links have
been constructed, and plans for others
are well advanced.
In South America only 175 miles
are still to be constructed Detween
Buenos Ayres and Lake Titicaca and
the line has been ' completed from the
latter point to Cuzco, Peru, 2000 miles
from Buenos Ayres. In Bolivia,
Chile, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador
progress has been made.
The committee will make a full re
port to the next Pan-American con
ference, which probably will be held
in some South American capital in the
course of the coming year.
"Big Injuns" Talk English.
Chicago Fifteen officials of the
tribes of Pueblo Indians in New Mex
ico passed through this city en route
for Washington. The Pueblo officials
represent the owners of 600,000 acres
of tribal lands, granted by the Spanish
crown in 1690.
The Indians, most of them, were in
blankets and moccasins, and were
slightly amused at efforts of fellow
passengers in the railroad station to
patronize them.
"Heap cold, John," said one travel
ing man to a tall Pueblo in a red and
blue blanket.
"Yes, it is rather cold, but we are
accustomed to extremes and don't
mind it much," replied the Indian,
who was Juan Antonio Martin, alcalde
of A coma.
"Heap big Injun on war path,"
laughed a station porter, coming up to
the group.
"Here, boy, take this bag to the
smoking room; I'll be there in a min
ute," ordered one of the Indians,
Pablo Abeita, one of the chief men of
Pueblo Isleta. The porter obeyed in
a dazed manner.
Graduates Dress Simply.
Los Angeles Although many daugh
ters of wealthy citizens were num
bered among the 1500 school children
who were graduated from the gram
mar schools here Wednesday, not one
of them wore a dress costing more
than $5 and most of the dresses were
home-made. The girls appeared sim
ply garbed at the suggestion of Super
intendent Francis, of the city schools,
who believed it was an opportune time
to impress upon the children the rudi
ments of economy. The absence of
ribbons and ruffles was conspicuous.
Paris Is Awaiting Flood.
Paris The river Seine continues to
rise and now lacks only 40 centimeters
of the 4.76 meters stage, which exper
ience has shown is the danger level.
The authorities are beginning to take
precautions for the emergency which
will arise if the flood goes beyond that
point. Rescue parties have been or
ganized and all boatmen have been in
structed to hold themselves in readi
ness in the suburban districts, which
will be the first flooded.
West Would Repay Cash Used to
Pay Salaries.
Salem A bill having for its pur
pose to reimburse the common school
fund for disbursements which have
been made from it for salaries of cer
tain employes of the State treasurer'
office during the past two years, and
for eouiument of the office, has been
introduced in the senate by Joseph
The bill evidently emanated from the
office of Governor West. It asks for
a total appropriation of $25,822 for
this purpose.
The bill seems to have arisen
difficulty that has found its way
among members of the State Land
board as to whether the common
school fund, or any part of it, can be
used for the payment of salaries and
exnenses in connection with the ad
minstration of that fund.
It has been contended by the exe
cutive, as shown in the appearance o
this bill, that the expenses of admin
istration must be paid out of the gen
eral fund, and that the irreducible
school fund can be used for no other
nurDose than for the benefit of the
common schools of the state.
COMMITTEES MUCH PLEASED
Conditions at Various Institutions
of State Found to Good.
Salem The joint committees which
have been investigating the several
state institutions have returned, and,
while thev have not yet filed their
formal reports, it is an open secret
that in most instances they were high
lv pleased with the administration of
the places during the last two years.
The committee which investigated
the new branch asylum took along R.
E. L. Steiner, of the Salem insane
hospital. Conditions were found to be
excellent.
The committee for the State Train
ng school visited the institution and
interviewed many of the attendants
and the boys confined there. They
were, on the whole, satisfied with
the conduct of the school, but recom
mended segretrating the older and
younger boys, and that a large appro
priation be granted.
Civil Service Is Favored.
Salem House bill 136, introduced
by Representative Applegren, of Mult
nomah, has found favor with the com
mittee on education, which reported it
back with the recommendation that it
pass. It will go to third reading in
the regular routine.
The bill provides for a system of
civil service for school teachers, su
perintendents and assistant superin
tendents of schools in school districts
having, or which wil have, more than
20,000 population.
Lax Officials Attacked.
Salem Town marshals, chiefs of
police, sheriffs and others t having the
enforcement of laws in their hands
will be subject to arrest, prosecution
and a fine of from $50 to $500 if they
refuse or neglect to do their sworn
duty in regard to the sale of liquor if
a bill introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Howard becomes law.
Mr. Howard believes that these offi
cials should be punished if they fail to
uphold the liquor laws, which they are
sworn to enforce, and provides this
way of doing it.
Million Left to Partner.
New York The filing of the will of
George W. Crossman, a coffee import
er, revealed a curious agreement be
tween Crossman and his partner, Her
man Sieleken. A codicil to the will
showed that each had agreed to leave
the other $1,000,000. In addition to
his bequest to his partner, Crossman
left nearly $1,000,000 to friends and
relatives. ,
Bee Inspector Is Proposed.
Salem Bees will be well regulated
by a state inspector of bees, f a bill
introduced in the house is passed and
becomes one of Oregon's laws.
"The man who gets that job will
get stung, in my opinion," remarked
Reading Clerk Clarke, when the bill
was sent to the desk.
Another bill will define how any
real nice bull should behave when wo
men wearing red sweaters or red head
gear are about. It is entitled "An
act to prohibit bulls more than one
year old from running at large."
Woman's Age Is Question.
Salem Senator Miller was approach
ed by a woman in the lobby of the
capitol who urged him to introduce a
bill which will make it binding Jand
mandatory upon all women who regis
ter to give their correct ages. The
woman did not give her name'to Mr.
Miller. He says he is opposed to
any such bill, but possibly will j intro
duce a bill that women need only, to
take oath, in registering, that they
are 21 years of age or over to obviate
the general feminine shyness in giving
their ages.
Marriage Bill Passes House.
Salem "There are some thin-skinned
preachers who like to know who
they are marrying," said Representa
tive Howard, of Douglas, himself a
preacher, in presenting his arguments
for the passage of his bill requiring
that information as to character and
previous marital experience be given
the county clerk at the time of appli
cation for a marriage license, this in
formation to be for the guidance of
the minister who shall perform the
ceremony.
Olson Would Prohibit Fishing.
Salem A bill by Olson, of Mult
nomah county, introduced in the house,
proposes to prohibit fishing for salmon
in the Willamette river, except by
angling, March 15 to April 15 and
from June to November 15.
THIRTEEN MEASURES PASSED
Legislature Makes Record in First
Three Weeks of Session.
Salem At the end of the third
week of the legislative assembly, 13
bills have passed both houses and re
ceived the signature of the governor,
Of this number 12 are house bills and
one is a senate bill.
Nono of the bills carry nn emergency
clause and none will become laws until
90 days after tho adjournment of the
legislative assembly.
Probably the most important bill so
far signed is that abolishing the office
of state lanki agent. This was some
thing suggested in the report of State
Land Agent Kinehart. and also recom
mended by the governor in his mes
sage.
Another act of some import is one
providing that a wife deserter who is
convicted shall be compelled to work
on the county roads for the time for
which he has been sentenced, and that
the county shall pay his family $1 a
day for each such day worked.
The bills which have so far been
signed by the governor are as follows
S. B. 73, by Bean Providing for
penalty for wife desertion.
H. B. 6, by Carpenter Repealing
act providing for the publication of an
official newspaper.
H. B. 10, by Forsstrom Repealing
act providing that county court clerkB
should act as county clerks.
H. B. 17, by Campbell Repealing
sections relating to time terms of cer
tain officers commence.
H. B. 41, by Llewelling Abolish
ing the office of state land agent.
H. B. 47, by Heltzel Providing for
the manner of executing the satisfac
tion of a mortgage.
H. B. 84, by Hinkle Relating to
eliminating indebtedness of irrigation
districts.
H. B. 91, by Hinkle Relating to
decrees of divorce.
H. B. 126, by Mann Relating to
registration 1 ista of automobiles by
county clerks.
H. B. 145, by McArthur-Relating
to crimes against nature.
H. B. 194, by Gill Repealing sec
tion relating to binding children as apprentices.
H. B. 199, by committee on revision
of laws To repeal sections of code
providing for weather service.
H. B. 200, by committee on revision
of ,laws Repealing sections relating
to appropriation and condemnation of
land.
This record of 13 bills passing both
houses and receiving the signature of
the governor within the first three
weeks of the session is a record-
breker. So far there has been no
veto message coming from the execu
tive offices, the majority of the bills
going into those offices being bills re
pealing obsolete sections of the code
BRANCH ASYLUM INSPECTED
Legislators Pass Busy Day at Pen
dleton Institution.
Pendleton In a special car, which
was set oil here when JNo. b passed
through Pendleton, 20 members of the
legislature arrived in Pendleton to pass
the major portion of the day inspect
ng the Eastern Oregon state hospital
The delegation was met by officers and
members of the Commercial club, who
entertained them at breakfast, after
which they were taken in automobiles
to the state hospital, where Superin
tendent McNary and his staff and Cap
tain C. A. Murphy received the visi
tors.
The entire forenoon was given over
to conducting the legislators through
the institution and pointing out its
further needs. As guests of Superin
tendent McNary the party had lunch
eon in the dining room or the new
hospital.
Much interest was manifested by
the committee from Salem in the
splendid architecture and up-to-date
methods in vogue at the institution
The mammoth bake ovens attracted no
ttle attention. The two ovens will
bake 1000 loaves of bread at a time,
and will make five bakings atone
heat. Without an exception the visit
ing memDers oi the legislature ex
pressed themselves as favorably im
pressed with the institution and.be
lieve in its rapid future growth.
Penitentiary Probe Starts.
Salem The first steps of the in
vestigation of the state penitentiary
were undertaken Saturday. At 9
o'clock in the morning the members of
the joint committee met at the prison.
The first day was almost entirely
taken up with an outline of the plans
for the investigation. The policy to
be pursued and the general scope of
the investigation was thoroughly dis
cussed at this meeting and it is doubt
ful i any future session of the com
mittee will carry it much farther than
this.
Bills Swamp Legislature.
Salem The house concurred in a
senate resolution calling for the final
introduction of bills by the 25th day
of the session, except by a four-fifths
vote of the members. The house,
however, will retain its previous de
cision to stop the list of bills on its
20th day, except by such a vote. It
concurred in order to assist the senate
in making the rule for that branch of
the legislative assembly.
