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.

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.

(From tho Now York W)rld.)
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,
