One Sunday morning a deacon ob-
Rcrrcd a boy industriously fishing.
After the lad hud landed several he
approached and to id: "My sou, it is
very cruel to impale tbnt poor, help
less beetle upon that sharp book."
Said tho bey: "Ob, say, Mister, this
is only an imitation. It ain't a real

"Bless mol" replied tho deacon.

A timid little girl stood jooldag out

"Oh, no, that dog is not wild; ho

said.

A mission worker tells how shook

ACCORDING to the official compilation of the secretary,
. of state, the total appropriations made bv the recent
ucgisiuwuc, lugouier wun continuing oppropnauons, torai
$(S,310f(M8.67. To this must be added the maintenance
expenses from funds derived fronrfees, licenses, the funds
derived from federal aid to different institutions and de
partments, totaling $l,07ti,:i9.l.96, making the total cost of
state government lor the ensuing bienmum $7,387,010.(:J.
The total appropriations bv the 1915 session were
$G,310,618.G7, as against $6,691,092.08 for the 1913 session,
an apparent reduction of .1381, 043.1 1 not a million dol
lars, as claimed by advocates of "efficiency and economy."
Yuen the investments in improvements made bv tho 1913
session are considered, in comparison with similar expen
ditures by tho 1915 session, it is evident that instead of
effecting a saving, the cost cf government has been greatly
increased.
The appropriations of 1913 included $450,000 for recla
mation work in Central Oregon, $200,000 for a supreme
court building, $91,000 for the eastern Oregon asvlum.
$262,000 for new O. A. C. buildings, $187,000 for new state"
university buildings, $60,000 for a new state fair pavilion,
$20,000 for new buildings at the soldiers' home, $60,000 for
a new penitentiary building, $50,000 for the girls' indus
trial school building, $b0,000 lor a new building at the state
insane asylum. The total for reclamation and buildings
was $1,460,000.
The appropriations of the recent session included
nothing for reclamation, the sole constructive legislation
being $50,000 for experimental work for the establishment
ol the flax industry m the Willamette vallev. The amount
spoilt for new buildings totals but $200,000, comprising
$50,000 for a normal school building, $50,000 for a medical
college building and $.100,000 tor the Pendleton asylum
building.
It is evident, then, that the past session was the most
extravagant in the history of the state, and that it spent
more money for administrative functions than anv prev-
1111 i i iii
tuns session, aim ma icss in a constructive or uuiuuiig way
than any other session. It provided no funds for recla
mation, none for good roads, none for power development.
Its petty economies were made at the sacrifice of state in
stitutions like the insane asylum, which, instead of being
provided means for natural growth, were crippled by pen
unousness. The session of 1915 was dominated by the big business
interests and bv politics. It put in its time destroying
constructive policies inaugurated by previous assemblies
and curtailing administrative efficiency of established
departments. Its crowning achievement was the passing
of tiie spoils bill, making the entire state administration
the spoils of politics. Only the steadfast opposition of the
bouse prevented the complete destruction of the welfare
legislation of previous sessions.
Its efficiency a ."Joke, its economy false, its construc-
tiveness nil, its intents sinister, its politics vicious, the last
legilature passes into history as the worst m manv veal's.

NEWPORT NEWS. Va.. March 12.
Captain Thlerlchscn of tho German
auxiliary cruiser Print Eltol Fried
rich has estimated In his communl
atlon to tho Washington government,
that it will requlro about threo weeks
to repair his ship. Tho estlmato
was mado after shipyard officials
hero had mado a preliminary exami
nation. In his letter to Collector
Hamilton, the German commander
declared:
"My ship at tho present timo Is in
very unscaworthy condition and will
requlro thrco weeks to make her sea
worthy.'
Naval constructors will bo as
signed to look over tho Eltel Fried
rich and inako their estlmato of tho
length tho timo ship should ho un
der repairs.
Tho statement on the sinking of
the Frye, which tho commander of
tho Prlnz Eltel has mado to Collec
tor Hamilton is understood to- be a
oner document, giving Ilttlo moro
than a statement that tho Fryo was
sunk, tho longitude and latitude In
which tho German raider canto upon
her and a reference to the taking oft
of tho Fryo's crew.
Sailors on tbo Eitol Fricdrlch, It
was reported, had expressed anxiety
for the safety ot the German cruiser
Karlsruhe, last reported off tho West
Indies. No wireless reports from
tho Karlsruhe, It was said, had been
received by tho captain of Kite!.
