Legislative Session to Begin,
The regular bienuial session of
the Oregon Legislature will con.
vene at Salem next Monday.
Al
ready the Solons arc beginning to
assemble at tbe capital, and next
comes tbe fight for control of tbe
two bouses between anti and pro-

members, it is believed, will succeed
in capturing tbe organization.
That Chamberlain will be the
choice for United States Senator,
and on tbe first ballot, seems prac
tically certain. His opponents, in
fact— those who would defeat the
people’s will and have pledged mem
bers violate their solemn pledge—
have abandoned their best hopes of
success.
Even Senator Fulton is
credited with tbe statement that “ it
is useless to try longer for tbe de
feat of Governor Chamberlain.” He
is discouraged— bis spirit broken
by the refusal of Roosevelt and
Taft to enlist their aid for his re-
electic
There will be some important leg
islation of a general nature to con
sider at this session, much of which
will be outlined and recommended
in the Governor’s message. Among
the measures that should be passed
is the one to increaso the bounty on
panthers, coyotes, wildcats, and oth
er destructive animals so numerous
and multiplying in the State at pres
ent. Some of these varmints are as
destructive of deer as they are of
sheep and other stock. There should
also be better protection for elk.
Senator-elect Chase of Coquille
started for Salem via Coos bay Mon
day. That evening he met with tbe
North Bend Chamber of Commerce
to discuss some proposed legislation
affecting Coos bay harbor. Repre
sentative-elect R. E. L. Bedillion is
reported to be sick in San Francis
co, but will be able to travel from
that city to Salem by rail.

Orvil Dodge Has Hopes.
Our fellow townsman, E. H. Kern,
is in receipt of tbe following letter
from Orvil Dodge, dated Washing
ton, D. C., Dec. 27th:
“ I am much encouraged in believ
ing that my mission here will be
successful. At least I believe we
shall get an appropriation to bring
the dredge ‘Oregon’ to the Coquille
and operate it. We have succeeded
in getting the Chief Engineer’s rec
ommendation for it. Congress is on
holiday vacation now, so matters in
our line are dull. In fact overyone
is on pleasure bound, but Mr. Her
mann and myself are seeking every
opportunity to adyanco our cause.
You may give these facts to the
City Council and Chamber of Com
merce if you wish.’ ’
• <• » •
A movement has been set on foot
by the people of Cottage Grove to
form a new county with that city as
the county scat. It is proposed
that the liue should cross the Mid
dle Fork of the McKenzie, run near
Goshen and thence west to the
preseut boundary -xtf the county.
Ib is would leave the Blue River
mining country in Lane, while the
present Bohemia district, in both
Lane and Douglas, would be in
cluded within the boundaries of the
new county. From the Bohemia
district in Douglas the lino would
run west to the coast and include
within the limits of the proposed
Bohemia county the towns of Yon-
calla, Drain and Gardiner, all of
which are at present in Douglas
county.
City Council M eet«.
The Common Council was in reg
ular monthly session Monday even
ing, and disposed of tbe usual busi
ness, such as claim-paying, etc.
Baxter Bros, were granted a re
newal of their liquor license, as wtre
Baxter A Howell a week previous.
A resolution was adopted giving
three streets on Spurgeon Hill the
names of Scbroeder, Hite and Per-
rott streets, respectively.
Gn motion it was ordered to have
the ordinance regulating the con
duct of saloons iu this city printed
in conspicuous form, and a copy fur
nished to each saloon for display on
the walls, it being the object to rig
idly enforce the law with respect to
minors, etc.
Board then adjourned.

State-Aid
Railroads.
At the late meeting of the Ore-
gon-Idaho Development Congress,
held at Vale, the congress, through
resolutions, declared in favor of
State-aid railroads development of
Coos Bay harbor and the revival of
tbe Malbeut project.
Delegates to tbe next congresses
to be held in Boise during January
and Salem during February, are
urged lo do everything in their
power to further the construction
of a railroad from Boise through
Central Oregon to Coos Bay; recom
mending that the bay be used by
the Federal Government as a great
naval and coaling station and com-
mi rcial harbor for the shipping of
the Pacific Coast. It is urged in
the resolutions that tbe delegates
urge upon the Legislature of Ore
gon tbe importance of enacting at
its 1909 session a general law en
abling all districts which contain
navigable waters in Oregon to or
ganize port commissions and to levy
taxes for the purpose of raising
money to improve the harbors of
Oregon.
