JANUARY 31, 19.17 KTATK CAPITOL, Sal.m, Or., Jan. .'11. The sounto lias passed Senator Kurrell's sterilization hill. 'The voli' stood IS rr tliu bill, 1(1 uguiu.st and two absent. For two hours the senate i.-'buted the measure. Senatur Vinlon deelur ed In pass it would be a disgrace to the senate, lie vigorously tleuounet'd it. Seualor Hurley made an impns yinied talk nmiinst it, xtiyina; one of Hie reasons lie opposed it was because four years njro the people of the stale voted down a sterilization measure whii-h had been passed by the legisla ture. Houston anil Moser Oppose-. Senators Huston and Moser and Strayer opposed it, prineipally on the ground that the people had once vot ed down a sterilization bill. Senators l'arrell, Kddv, Pierce, l.n l-'ollette, Lewis and Smith ol' Coos spoke in support of the bill, "There is no similaritv between this bill and the one voted down by the people four years ajro, except the word sterilization," declared Senator FaiTell. ''This is intended as a pro tective measure n;ainsl tho birth of idiotic and feeble-minded children The neople of Oregon have safeguard ed the propagation of their fine horses and cattle, anil whv not do as much for the human family?" I'lerco Advocates Hill. "I only wish that this bill was more sweeping in its terms," said Senator I'icrce, who predicted Unit if the bill was referred to the people il would carry two lo one. Seualor (larland pointed out Hint the opponents of the bill failed to dis criminate between the provisions of this bill and the one voted on foul years ami. The one voted on before. he said, provided for castration, whili this bill provides for a simple opera (ion which in no way disfigures the bodv. 'If the people of the stale could visit the institution for the feeble minded and see the ininutes," said Senator l.n 1'ollclle, 'Mhey would vote unanimously for the bill." The vole on the measure was n follows: .

The sev eral peudiiiK fish bills aimed to close the Columbia, Willamette, Ron lie and Uiupq.ua rivers to commercial flsh- erment, will be reported back from tho joint senate nnd house fisheries oninilttee soon, it Is expected. And whether the reports are favorablo or unfavorable, one ot the fights of the closing days of tho session promises to be over the measures. It Is freely predicted. Commercial fishermen in numbers front various sections aro hero for the avowed purpose of worklns against the bills. One delegation of 'nipqua fishermen appeared before the Joint committee this week and protested against any change in the present laws. Trading Stamp Hill. Portland and Salem merchants have lined up against a bill intro duced by Representative O. Laur- aard, Portland, which they claim will bring trading stamps back into Oregon. Representatives of mer chants' organizations of Portland nd Salem appeared before a Joint meeting of the Multnomah and Mar ion county delegation Tuesday and said they were willing to have the law remain as it Is but resented any attempts to permit uso of stamps. The bill provides that no concern can glvo trading slumps unless it can show a capital stock of $25,000. This would mean that one large east ern firm would again be given n mo nopoly of that so-called form of ad vertlsing," said Robert G. Duncan Portland, secretary of the Portland Retail Grocers' association. Mr. Lrurgaard protested against the calling of the matter and declur- id it was a t-chenie to "put some thing over on him Wane his back was turned." (luxKifyiiiK Teachers. Senator Orton, Portland, has In troduced a bill amending the tenure in office for school teachers and providing-that teachers shall not be dismissed or reduced In rank or pay without first being given a hearing before a commissIou of three to be appointed by the presiding judge of the circuit court of Multnomah county. SALEM, Jan. ni. Restrictions proposed in the Douglas delcaation's bill rejrulatimr fishim; on the I'mpfpin river provided another vehicle for uiriiiL' intra-eouutv I roubles before the legislature. When the house fisheries commit tee held its public meeting! on the bill last niuht there were delegations on band from lioscbur-' and the lower Vniimuu eountv lo discuss its effect Those from the coast section present . cd impoiui: ari:unicnls against it on the score that it would ruin one of the country's most important indns tries, while those from Roseburs held that tho upper river has already been started on ihc'hifjhwny to nun from the angler's viewpoint. During ihe di-ca-si which wnxed hotter as it progressed, there were charges of bud failh and broken promise-: on both .-ides. Itefore the meeting hud progrc-cd very far Sen ntor Kddv aio-e to -tale that, while the bill bore the parentage of th Douglas delegation, be wa- not con suited in its drafting and knew noth nig of the souall it hud stirred up until today. He declined to sav what his attitude would be toward the bill .should it reach the senate. A member of the committee indicat ed it would he a dav or two nt leas before the measure would be reported buck to the house. WARSAW. Jan. :HI.

This constitutes a part of Ihe in crease from a shipment of elk made to this county n few years ago from Jackson's Hole, Wyo. They w ere placed in the government 1 pasture and have since been under the guardianship of the stalo game officials. Through the winter the elk have been fed hay and throughout the year a watchful eye has been kept 4111 the herd, with the result that they have grown and multiplied from n lit tle bunch of half-starved scions of n noble iflce to a large and healthy bunch that is worthy of (be name they hen r. The captured elk will be sent by express over the Southern Pacific via Weed, Cal., to Chiloipiin, Or., where they will be taken from the train and hauled to Crater lake. Mr. Mitchell will accompany the shipment. The enpture of the elk was the least of Mr. Milchcll s troubles, he said when asked bow they were caught.
