U SARAH BERNHARDT'S LEG IS AMPUTATED BORDEAUX, Feb. 22. The right leg of Madaino Sarah IJeruliardt, the famous tragedienne, was amputated today at the St. Augustine hospital at Arcachon. Tho operation, made necessary by an affection of tho knee, which had caused much suffering for several years, was performed by Professor do Luco of the Bordeaux university Professor Pozzi was to have con ducted tho operation yesterday, but he was called to the colors to serve at tho Vnl do Grace hospital in Paris nnd he found it impossible to leave his duties for several days. Mudnmo Bernhardt refused to sub- mit to n delay of what she courage ously called her release from bond age, nnd it was decided that Profes sor do Luce should jwrform tho op eration today. A bulletin Issued Immediately af ter tlio amputation of Mine. Bern hard fa leg said: "Tlio operation was decided at a consultation February 13 of Profes sors PozzI of Paris and Denunco and Arnoran of Bordeaux. It took placo on Monday morning and was en dured undor tho best conditions. Tho condition of lime. Bernhardt after tho operation also was as good as possible, (signed) "BENUNCE." Tho operation took placo at a hos pital In the Ruo d'Aros.. Up to tho moment when sho bo camo unconscious from tho anaesthe tic Mmo. Bernhardt appeared cheer ful and courageous. Telegrams of sympathy .from all parts of the world contlnuo to ar rive. An enormouH letter mail ar rived at Bordeaux this morning from Euglish and French friends. THE rcecMit legislative session again offered convincing evidence why the senate should bo abolished. The senate this year, as in so many previous sessions, was in the control of a Portland clique, politically rcac- tionarv, ana manipulated tor uig business. Lt nas suc ceeded in making political spoils out of every branch of the state's business mid enabled the creation of a state polit ical machine. The senate has outlived its usefulness. Originally do vised as a part, of the system of (hocks and counter-checks upon the people by those who distrusted popular govern ment, it is out of harmony with the times an expensive superfluity. Xo lpgislatiou has been considered or enacted that would not have been as intelligently enacted by the house alone as by the two chambers, and with much saving of time and monev. Indeed, many meritorious measures were enacted by the house to be slaughtered in the senate. No session in recent vears has been more barren in con structive legislation than the present. No roads legisla tion worthy of tho name was enacted. Not a singlo bill to foster highway construction was introduced in the senate, though several to aid the road contractors. Over G2,000 votes were cast last fall in favor of abolish ing the senate. At the next election there will probably be 162,000. and the senato alone is to blame for the opinion entertained toward it by tho people. A STEP IN ADVANCE MAN WHOSE MEMORY ALL AMERICANS HONOR. FOLLOWING the Tacoina convention, where prelimin ary steps were taken to place the marketing of north western fruit upon a co-operative busiucss basis, another move in the evolution of the industry is announced by the Rogue River Emit and Produce association, whereby it is proposed to standardize the pack of all orchards and re lieve the individual of the collecting, grading, packing and boxincr of the fruit. s All the orchardist has to do is to pick his fruit and assemble it in lug boxes for the auto truck, which takes it to central storage and packing house, where it is graded, packed, refrigerated, shipped and marketed for him, re lieving him of much unnecessary labor and responsibility. This is another step towards placing the fruit industry upon a staple manufacturing basis. .Next will come, as it has come in the California districts, the picking of tho fruit by the co-operative association, and in some of the dis tricts, pruning and spraying by the common agency. LEARN ABOUT THE ROSE RS'H s ... f, 88 GEORGE WASHINGTON. AH over tho United States tho memory of Ocorgo Washington, tho father of his country, ts being honored to-day with appropriate ceremonies. Patriotic societies throughout (ho land havo worked diligently hi making this tlio greatest holiday of the year. It Is Just 183 years bIiico the grout soldier first saw tho light of day, and in every city his praises nro being suug with trtio American sVrror. LOVERS of roses and believers in the city beautiful should not fail to attend the series of free lectures be ginning tonight at the public library and continuing every evening throughout the week, under the auspices of the lUedtord Kose society. Tho lectures arc .given by the Rev. George Schooner of Brooks, Or., who ranks as the foremost authority on rose culture in tlio state, and who is the originator of countless new roses as well as of "the Willamette berry" and other products, and whose propagations rival those of Luther Burbank, but are not as well known, because he does not commercialize his products. The subjects of the lectures are, "The Rose in His toiy," "The Botanical Classification of the Rose," "The Planting and Pruning of the Rose," and "The Best Vari eties of Roses and How to Conduct an Exhibit." The lectures are most timely, as this is the season to plant and prune roses, and a knowledge of tho subject is essential to successful rose culture. Mcdford can easily become a rose center, and no shrub adds more to the attractiveness of street, lawn or garden than the rose. JACK JOHNSON REACHES HAVANA The Turn of the Tide Trouble Enough (Ben II.

Thero aro multiplying signs thnt "Iho tido has turned," as President Fnrrell of tho steel trusfc declared last week, nnd that A marked improvement in tho general business situntion is to be seen day by day. The steel trust reports 1111 increase of 411,028 tons in unfilled orders in Junuary, nnd the number of men em ployed by it has been increased 'J.'i per cent in that period. The first of the month the Cumcgic steel works resumed full operation, giving em ployment to between 800(1 nnd 0000 men, and tho American Steel & Wire company at Pittsburg has Inlci'ii on L'flOO ijiore men and is running full time on new orders. The'JL ('. Trick Coke company has fired 2.100 new ovens within a few tlnvs. From Chicago it is reported that within the last thirty days orders havo been placed for $.'10,000,000 worth of freight and passenger cars, locomotives and railroad materials, not including orders since Jjinnunry 1 for foreign governments.. As a sin gle instance, the Pennsylvania rail road has ordered 33,000 cars, costing $12,000,000. Ilussia alone is report ed to havo placed orders amounting to .$12,000,000 with a Seattle car con cern. Shipping men, who ennnot meet the demand for vessels for tho export trade, report nn unprecedented boom in tho shipbuilding yards on the At lantic coust. livery plant is said to be swamped with orders for now ves sels, although over 125 vessels have corao under tho American flag since tlio pnssngo of tho new registry not last August. At Newport News, ut Crnmp'fl shipyard, nt tho Maryland Steel company's plant a( Sparrow Pojuf, pt the Fore River yard nnd tho Now York Shipbuilding company's yard nt Camden capacity work is the order of tho duy. In Michigan six of the big copper mining companies, which wero hard hit by tho shutting off of exports in August, hnve raised wages 10 jkt cent. As tlio one great producing coun try not engaged in war, nil th reht of tho world looks to the United States for food supplies nnd manu factures. Tho only check upon the growing export trndo is tho difficulty in securing charters. American goods havo been moving abroad so rapidly that foreign exchange is be low normal, nnd tho $80,000,000 in gold shipped to Canada Inst fall for the account of tho Ilnnk of hnglitnd is beginning to flow back in payment for foreign purchases, although gold is tho last thing the European powers want to surrender. The calamity howlers who take comfort in shrieking bad times and tho croaking politicians who seek to capitalize commercial disturbance duo to the war will soon bo without an is sue. The prosperity of this country lies not with the pessimists, but with thoso who net on President Fnrrell's advice and havo "the courugc, not of destruction, but of construction." HAVANA, Feb. 2J Jack Johnson, tho pugilil, (ii'coiiip.niied liv hit wit.-. secretary, hparring imrtiiem and a servant, nrrived here early this morn ing from Cicnfuego.
