Senator I-oughary has in charge a bill to raise tho salary of tho Couuty Supcnntendeni of schools; Representative Coop er has a bill for raising tho sal arv ol the County Treasurer; iiva Fftwk. a bill ftf- farting the salarv of the sheriff Neither has been introduced up t., the time this issue goes to press aud it is not likely they will be. The salary oi me School Superintendent is 1000 a year with $200 allowance for traveling expenses. In addition, the present Superintendent fur ther increases his receipts by collections from those at whose instance he attends school meet ings. The Treasurer's salary is $750 a year which is really low considering the bonds required of that official. Representative Fawk'a bill makes very little change in the matter of the sheriff's emoluments. It merely places hia allowance wholly in the hands of the county eourt. The present court reduced the allowance for a deputy from $63 to $50 a month. At last a flat salary bill has passed the Oregon legislature. It is known as the Kay bill rh,Vh onVinated in the House " " o and yesterday passed the Senate with little opposition. While the name of T- B. Kay. the mur derer of the English language, is attached to the bill, it is really a newspaper triumph and in this case all will have to take off hats tor the Capital Journal, for that paper has made a per sistent and consistent fight for ,the law. The only possible thing now standing in the way of the measure is the Governor's veto which is not likely to be interposed. , Under the present law, a number of men have been made rich as state printer and secretary tf state while others have collected interest off state monev while serving as state treasurer. The new law cut off all fees and perquisites and lim its the Governor to $5000 a Sfretarv of State to JTOl f - j $4500; Treasure, $4500; Attorney-Gen eral1$36W)1 Miller's bill for one Normal school only lost in the senate by a vote of 17 to 12 Considera tion of the bill brought out a heated discussion. In the course of the discussion Hodson sprang a sensation by submitting fig ures secured from Normal school principals appearing before the ways and means committee and from their biennial reports. The figures showed for 1904 a percentage of local attendance at Ashland of only 31; Mon mouth, 30; Weston, 45; Drain, living within two miles of school, and 66 2-3 in Doug las county.

Governor Chamberlain and his vetoes will claim front page space awhile now. One of the results of the recent decision of the boundary dispute between Canada and the United States is the inclusion in the terri tory of Alaska of a region lying west of the Lynn Canal, which, Tnloration shows, pofwesses an extraordinarily genial climate, con sidering its high northern latitude This climatic mildness is thought to be due to tho influence of a warm current in the neighboring ocean.
