instance acted for the Southern l'a-
The governor looks and says he
feels much better, but owing to his

It is customary for the incoming
governor to formally take over the
8. G. COSQROVt.

and senate. The outgoing governor
reads his message to the Joint assem
bly and the newly elected governor
is then sworn in and the legislators
listen to his message.
Governor Cos grove's stay In Olym
pia will be brief, and after he is
aworn in he will turn the office over
to Lieutenant-Governor M. 13. Hay
and return to California'.- ' ,
While Lieutenant-Governor Hay is
acting governor, Senator A. S. Ruth,
of Thurston county, will preside over
the senate.
The train which carried tho gov

Portland Another step in the
fight of the federal government to
recover possession of the land in
cluded in the immense grant to the
Oregon & California Railroad Com
pany was taken Saturday when 11.
D. Townsend, special assistant to the
attorney-general, filed in the Federal
court In Portland 35 suits in equity
against the Oregon & California and
Southern Pacific Companies and over
106 other defendants.
These suits are supplementary to
those previously filed against the
Harriman companies and are for the
purpose of recovering land included
ln the grant and already sold by the
railroads, or, where title to the land
cannot be regained, of securing for
the government all monies paid for
the land in excess of $2. GO an acre
the price at which it was stipulated
in the original grant the land would
be sold. Resides the railroads, the
defendants in the suits are those who
have purchased land from these com
panies. The suits involve more than
$15,000,000 and also more than
353,288 acres of land. All of the
land is located ln Oregon.

Man Die of Nightmare.

of nightmare.

Xn Kusli for Vacant Land.
Hoseburg The opening to entry
of nearly 11,000 acres of land at the
United States land office here was
not attended by a heavy rush of ap
plicants. Thirteen entries were filed
and these in the aggregate Involve
less than 1600 acres, or a litle over
one-seventh of the total acreage
available. Little of the land thrown
open is valuable for either agricul
tural or timber purposes.
NOTES OF THE LEGISLATURE
Salem Govenor Chamberlain sent
to the legislature Tuesday morning a
special message advising immediate
enactment of an emergency tax law
to take the place of the act declared
unconstitutional. In speaking of the
matter the governor said that in his
opinion it would be necessary for
the legislature to frame and pass a
bill either making a levy or author
izing the state board of apportion
ment to make a levy for the year
1S09.
lt is evident from this that Mult
nomah, Columbia, Tillamook, Doug
las, Jackson, Joseph), Clackamas,
Coos and Wallowa aiust pay the
greatly Increased tax which will be
apportioned under tho uniform levy
based upon assessed valuations. The
burden will fall upon the counties as
a whole, for the state tax is a debt
from the county to the state.
Hills creating fully 200 new Jobs,
many of them on fat pay, have been
Introduced lu the legislature, load
ing up taxpayers with more than
000,000 salaries and expenses for
tho ensuing two years.
With 11 dissenting votes,. members
of the Clackamas county delegation
in the house succeeded Tuesday in
having passed their bill providing
for an eight-hour workday in all
manufacturing, mechanical, mercan
tile and other establishments operat
ing continuously throughout the 24
hours.

every town ot any importance in me
Willamette valley expects to spend

thlug over $2,000 and have engaged a
permanent secretary to take up tbe
work of spreading tbe publicity gospel
of tbat community, while Ooldendale
baa raised $5,000 for tbe same par
pose. Another feature tbat waa taken into
oousideration by tbe directors In mak
ing a special eftort tbia year to pro
vide tbe most attractive advertising
matter waa on amount of the big
travel expected over tbe various trans
continental railroada to the Alaska-Yukon-PaciUo

Thousands of tourists will undoubted
ly come to the ooast to witness tbia

Anotlur matter tbat baa engaged tbe
attention ot the direotora of tbe club
was tbat of considering several propo
sitions tbat have beeu made in regard
toprovidiog a suitable building to
house tbe club and several other or
ganizations tbat have shown a desire
to become atllliated with it. Aftnr
considerable dlaousslon it waa decided
to let tbia matter go until tbe regular
meeting night ot the club whiob ia
Monday, February 8th, when all those
lute ested are asked to be present at
a conference of tbe club members and
other interests.
In regard to tbe dispostion of tbe
bnodsoute silver cup presented to the
club now on display In Larawuy'a
wiudow, by the mauagera of the Na
tional Apple Show, it was unanimous
ly voted to turn it over to tbe Port
land Commercial Club Inasmuch as
that organization sent tbe display of
Hood River apples to the apple Jshow
that resulted in a prize being awarded
for them.
At the conclusion of the other bus
iness W. 11. Waltou was elected seore
lary of the club for the ensuing year
owing to.the fact that Mr. P. S. Dav
idson who bas been the club's very
efficient aeoietary during the paat
