Imagined that Dr. Merryman would
single out his home county from the
rest of tho stato as the object of an
attack, on an Industry that means so
much to It. As originally reportod,
the bill was to bo a general one, but
the Doctor learned that such a bill
would have no chance whatovor of
passage and so he evidently decided
to confine himself to his own county.
Tho original proposition was to mako
the limit two miles, but tho bill In
troduced cut this down to ono milo.

The department of the interior
came In for a scoring at the hands of
Representative Mondell when the bill
came up under unanimous consent
n the house. Mn Mondell declared
tliat this bill .was one drawn by the
department and substituted by Mr.
French at thedepartment's request
for one which he had originally in
troduced months ago. Mr. Mondell
said that the original French bill was
much more clear and definite hut,
he said, "tho department chiefs did
not like it, I presume, becauso they
had not drawn It."
Under a bill introduced In tho
bouse by Representative Hawley, Ail-
jutant-General Beebe of Oregon will ,
bo ablo to obtain from the records I
cf the war department the record of
service of every man from Oregon
who went Into U16 war, either by!
draft or as a volunteer. Tho purpose
of the measure is to make it possible
for tho states to know tho measure
of their Indebtedness in every caso iu
