All efforts to change broad smiles adorned their countenances the present normal-school system in after their victory.

Fish and Game Laws. Flat-Salary Law. Several fishing laws were enacted for the purpose of guarding against the tak­ ing of fish on spawning grounds, and to encourage the execution of the laws. An nppiopriation of $8000 was made for purchase and maintenance of a patrol boat for,Masler Fish Warden, so that he will be able to pursue and capture per sons who violate or are suspected of vio­ lating the law. Numerous game bills were passed bv the Legislature, the most important be­ ing those prohibiting the sale of game and providing a gun license tax of $1 for residents of Oregon and $f0 for non-resi­ dents, with the exception that persons may hunt upon their own land without paying a license. A flat salary law was enacted, taking effect in 1907, and requiringstateofficers to pay into the State Treasury all fees and perquisites now collected by them. The salaries prescribed are ; Governor $5000 ; Secretary of State, $4500 ; State Treasurer, $4500 ; Attorney-General, $3600. No change was made in the com­ pensation of the State Printer. A fraternal insurance law was passed, requiring all fraternal insurance societies to make annual reports to the Secretary ofState, showing their financial condi tion. New fraternal societies must be organized upon a safe basis before they can issue policies and must adopt the rates of the National Fraternal Con gress. The purpose of the law is to pre. vent the organization of fraternal socie­ ties upon a cheap but unstable basis, and to protect the older societies from the sapping influences of the new com. panies offering cheap rates. The act passed is the one recommended by the National Fraternal Congress. Some Measures Defeated The Legislature defeated efforts to make gambling a felony, to ninend the local option law, to abolish ripirian rights, to create Cascade County from part of Wasco, to amend the census law so as to make it more applicable to pre­ sent needs, and to create a mining bu­ reau. In Aid of Irrigation. An irrigation law was passed, grant­ ing to the Government power to con­ demn water right where necessary in the construction of extensive reclamation work. This measure also creates the olfice of State Engineer and carries an appropriation of $5900 for hydragraphic survey work. The Government agrees to spend dollar for dollar with the slate in work of this kind, and the plan is to make accurate surveys so that definite information can be had regarding available water supply in streams now- used for irrigation. The purpose of the surveys will be to determine whether, after making allow­ ance for all waler legally appropriated by others. The Klamath Lake grant ro the United States Government was passed, whereby the state cedes to the Government any lake beds it may uncover by lowering the water in lakes in Klamath County. This concession to the Government is ex. pected to exert a material influence in inducing the Govcrnmenl to undertake an extensive reclamation project by which 300,000 acres of arid or swamp land will eventually be made richly pro ductive and capable of maintaining 25,- 000 inhabitants. The Malheur irrigation district was created, composed of nil the territory embraced in the tract to be reclaimed by the Government in the vicinity of Vale Malneur County. The net gives the prop­ erty-owners of the district power to is sue bonds in the sum of $300,000 for the purpose of raising money with which to purchase; private water rights which stand in the wav of the G ivernment project. The purchase of these right» is to be computed as an item in the total cost of the Government's irrigation sys­ tem. Bonds cannot be issued until voted by the taxpayers of the district Improvement of Public Morals l^tveral measures were passed for the promotion of good morals, among them being an act to make it unlawful to per- ®>t a female under 21 years of age to be RAILROAD IS SOLD. Goble, Nehalem & Pacific Changes Hands. A deal was consuinaled Thursday by which the Goble, Nehalem & Pacific Railroad and a tract of 70C3 acres of Columbia County red fir is transferred to William Reid, an extensive Michigan lumber operator, the purchase pr ce be- ing ¡in the neighborhood of $200.000. Mr Reid purchased the property from Robert Smith, F. S. Stanley. W. S. Dwin- nell and 0. L. Stanley. Messrs. Smith and F. S. Stanley are Portland capital­ ists. Mr. Dwinnell lives in Minneapolis and F. S. Stanley in Chippewa Falls. Mr. Reid announces that he will form a company to operate the railroad and timber properties and will extend the line of road into the Nehalem valley. The Goble, Nehalem and Pacific is seven miles long, extending from Goble, on the Columbia River, to a point in Columbia County, where the red fir tract included in the sale is situated. It was promoted about foul years ago bv Edward Can­ non and R. C. Bell, who planned tn build into the Nehalem valley. After construct ing four miles of road, they encountered financial difficulties, and the bondholders foreclosed and sold the road to Smith, Dwinnell and the Stanleys, who already constituted the Columbia Timber Com­ pany. These gentlemen extended the road three miles further and had plann. ed to build several miles more this Sum­ mer. [ This was one of the railroads that was I to bring Tillamook County into rail. ! road connection with the outside world, [ but like all others it met with financial sr. HEADQUARTERS FOR DAIRYMEN’ AND S SUPPLIES STEEL STOVES & RANCES Q ueenstown , Feb. 16.—Four men I were killed and 14 injured, of whom three are in a critical condition, as the I result of two explosions on board the British submarine boat A 5 in the har­ bor today. The killed include Engineer Artificer Chaffee, a leading stoker, and Lieutenant H. G Good, commander of the vessel, was blinded. His condition is critical. Lieutenant Skinner, an officer of the submarine boat, subsequently died of his injuries. Only one man of the entire crew escaped uninjured. The first explosion is believed to have Paint, occurred while the crew was engaged in filling the gasoline tank preparatory to proceeding outside the harbor. The A 5 caught fire after the first explosion. When this explosion occurred a number of the crew of the torpedo gunboat Hazard volunteered to go to the rescue of the submarine boat's crew, but hardly had they got on board the A-5 when a second explosion took place and all the the rescuers were more or less injured. The submarine boat was afterward docked, and an official statement made this evening saying the vessel has not The Reliable Merchants in suffered much damage. An inquiry into the cause of the explosions will be held ■ 4 - tomorrow. The A-5 was a new boat and only left her buiders on Saturday. After exten­ sive and satisfactory trials, she was or­ dered tn Queenstown for the purpose of familiarizing military officers with the appearance of a submarine boat.
