vote of 30 to 29 and the bill Is back
In tho committee again. A 'public

sportsmen.
Cntiglit Uiiawnrw,
Many members of the house pro
tested that they were not awaro that
the. Sehonuel bill Included game It
cense ftinds when they voted for the
bill last Friday. For that reason
they asked that it bo recalled from
the senate. The motion to recall
was debated .vigorously and prevailed
by a narrow margin.
Representative lturlburt naked that
tho bill, upon reconsideration, be
mado a special .order of business for
2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. He
was supported. In, this proposal large
ly by those members who are under
stood to favor'tho continuation of the
fish and game fund in its present
form, but Representative, Schcubcl
opposed the plan,
CU Sportsnum Tbi-lionn.
"If we fix a certain tlmo for con
sideration of this subject," ho said,
"we will have sportsmen coming In
here by tho trainload trying to in
fluence tho legislature. And I do a
large proportion of tho peoplo or
Oregon an injustice when I call them
sportsmen. About SO, per cent of
them are tin-horns."
Those members wbo are fighting to
retain tho fish and game fund will
try to mal;ovtbe: measure a special or
der for some tlmo later In the week.
John (1111 of Multnomah declared
the fish and game funds were put
into tho general fund intentionally,
which was tho solo purpose for which
tho bill was drawn. Ho Bald the
sportsmen who aro protesting are not
merely tho Multnomah county anglers
and hunters, but representatives of
42 different organizations from all
over tbe state.

IV CAPTAIN
SAL12.M, Ore., Jim. 27. Senator
Garland has pending n bill which pro
vides that county commissioners, If
they seo fit to reject nil bids for the
construction of n bridge costing over
$300, may proceed to buy the ma
terial, employ a superintendent and
have tho bridge constructed by day
labor.
Tho bill has ardent supporters and
equally ardent opponents. Senator
Garland made the statement that in
his county, Linn, tho county commis
sioners could build bridges Just'-us
cheaply ns a contractor. Ho con
tended that his county was getting
fill) value for tho money It expended
for bridges. Ho bet tho cigars with
State Highway Engineer H. L. Bowl
by that Itowlby could not fin exor
bitant costs in I.lnn county that have
been icported from other counties.
Ilowlby Investigated and yesterday
submitted his report to Senator Von
der Hcllen, chairman of the commit
tee on roads and highways. He in
vestigated the cost of two bridges.
Ono of them, the Stajton bridge, cost
tho counties of I.lnn and Marlon,
which built the bridge Jointly. J5S7
moro for steel than tho counties
ought to have paid, according to his
report. For tho Calapoola bridge,
Knglncer Ilowlby found that I.lnn
county paid $1020. -10 excess profit
on the steel. The Coast Urldgo com
pany was the beneficiary In each case.
".My report shown that conditions
In I.lnn county do not vary to any
ureal extent from conditions In any
other county In Oregon, with regard
to building of bridges costing moro
than $500," says Mr. Ilowlby.
"Investigations that have been
made by this offlco do not indicate
dishonesty on tho part of county of
ficials who have charge of construc
tion of bridges. These investiga
tions, however, mako it clear that
tho county courts are the victims of
a system In which they are absolute
ly helpless. I believe that tho most
Important legislation on tho road
question is concerning the construc
tion of county bridges. To remedy
this evil, I believe a short, simple bill
sholild bo passed requiring tho coun
ty courts to secure plans, specifica
tions and supervision of construction
from tho state highway department
for all bridges and culverts costing
$500 or moro."
