Mr. Wh alley, of Multnomah, has in

"The salary of the governor shall be
15,000 per annum,; The salary of the

amounts shall be in full payment of
any and all services performed by the
said officers and. shall be paid as other
state salaries are paid. All fees ot
other emoluments now received b any
of the above state officers shall be cov

that the above salaries shall not apply
to the office of secretary of state: and
to the'offlce of state treasurer until the
second Monday in ' January,' 1903.;
"All acts and parts of acts In conflict
with this act are hereby repealed.

asked Its author, Mr. Sberwln. to) state
what amount of money would probably
be paid out each year under thb bilL
Mr. Sherwln replied that it was impos-
slble at his time to make an exact
statements but It was probable that f turns of the recent general election, to
during the first two years perhaps more than the. required number of
$20,000 to $25,000 each would meet thefevoters provided In the bill for repre-
full demand, while perhaps the follow
lng two years would call for $40,000 to
j 150.900 each. Mr. Ross, of Multnomah.
thought the principle of the bill -'as
doubtful. It being in the nature of class
legislation and would Involve an 1m
mense expenditure of money, Mr. Cur
tis favored the bill, as calculated to fos
ter and encourage a" most Important
Oregon industry, keeping home in- Or

Mr. Freeland. of Morrow county, op-w
posed the measure, as an unjust, burden
to the taxpayers of the state for th
benefit of a few persons engaged lrt
beet raising. Mr. Palmer of Linn coufei
similar reasons to Mr. Freeland. Hi
thought It would be better for the farm"
ers of the state to buy their sugar an4
thus make an exchange market fop
their products. Hef was opposed to an:

PASSED THE SENATE
LITTLE 0PPOSITI0X SHOWS THE i
BE APPO&TIOSHEST BILL.
Tfci Upper House of Oregon's Lej-la-
laure Assembly Adjourns .
Until Monday.
(From Dally January 2Sth.)
After an exciting debate, which con
tinued , for two hours,' the .Williamson
reapportionment bill, which . re-dls-
trfets the senatprial and representative
c.ftrtcts of the state, passed the senate
Friday morning by a vote -of 22 to 4.
-i -m.- .!t ;
W -"7"- ..:
oreginaiiy preseniea in u senate, no
amendments being made thereto. Sev- i
era! efforts In that direction were made
they did no prevail, j Senator
x.iyf oi ui county, maae a magnin-
fjrnt fight against the. measure as It was
6Figlnally drafted, but was unable to
iff cure the desired amendments. In
Satlnghls vote Senator Daly announc
M his Intention of filing; a protest
gainst the bilL i
immediately after the senate con
vened, the committee on counties re
citing favorably on the Williamson
Souse blU (No. 309).
S Senator Fulton moved to make the
fill and the report of the committee a
special order of business at f2.:30 p. m.
Tuesday. The motion was: lost.
Senator Daly, of Lake, moved to
imend the bill In respect to the ninth
Senatorial district, which by the pro
visions of the bill is formed by Kla
math, Lake, Crook and Wasco coun-
V$ and Is allowed one senator, by sub-
pre-sjltutlngvHarney county for Wasco, In
f 3rder that the territory so represented
Iould be adjacent and whose Interests
Lre identical. The senator presented
statistics showing the voting population
Cof that district, (Klamath, Lake and
FCrook counties) as indicated by the re
sentatlon in the senate. He was will
ing to Include Harney in the senatorial '
district and Insisted that the territory.
T lying east of the Cascades, was entitled
fto a representation in the senate and
should not be coupled onto Wasco
county. In the -northern part of the
state. His district represented three-
fifths of the territory of the state and
It would be an Injustice, asserted the
speaker, to pass the bill without making 1
some amendments.
Senator Kelly realized the Importance '
of a careful consideration of the meas-'
ure and moved to make the bill a spe
cial order of business for z o'clock on
Tuesday afternoon. The senator from
Linn called the attention of the senate
to'section 5 of the bill which reads as
follows: "Senators holding over, repre
senting districts composed of more than
one . county shall, when the districts
have ben changed by this act,- be con-
sldered senators of the districts created
by this act in which they reside," Mr.
Kelly contended -that this section would
create- among the holdover, senators
much confusion tw.o years hence as tq
who were entitled to seats. Ai an il
lustration he cited his own county
which, by the present law. Is allowed
two senators. These officers were elect
ed last June for a .term , of four years..
The new apportionment bill provides
that Linn county shall have one sena
tor and a .Joint senator with Marlon
county. The senator - maintained that
under such an arrangement there would
be an additional regularly elected sen
ator from Linn county Ijwo years hence.
Senator Wade thought that by reason
of the fact that several ypf the senators
were absent, ' action onlthabIll should
be deferred until theytould be present.
Senator Fulton made an eloquent
plea In support ofthe amendment pro
posed by Senator Daly. ' He asserted
that senatorsas representatives of the
people, should be actuated in the per
formanceOf their duties, not bv per
sonal motives, but by a sense of right
and Justice. Inasmuch as the bill does
Irottffect the legislative representation
from the senator's home county, it was
Lnot a personal matter with him, but he'
spoke for those who felt wronged and
outraged by the provisions of the bill.
Wnen It was considered that bill was of
sreai importance to the entire state
and that a number of the senators were
hot presenjt, he thought It would only
w equti&Die ana just to postpone action
on the bill for a few days. 1
Senator Kuykendall thought the sen
ators should have more time In which
io ronsiaer tne mil.. He favored a
postponement of the final sonslderatlon
of the bill In order that the members
of the senate' who contemplated . an
over-Sunday visit at their homes might
consult their constituents in regard' to
. ,.( - .... ......
ioe uui. ... -
senator Mulkey considered the bill
thbeet that could be devised In ac
cordance witn the provisions of the
constitution. Thought the matter should
be taken up at the present time and
the bill should be passed. He denounc
d the dilatory tactics of those seeking
to nave tne bill postponed for final
consideration, whom he accused of la
boring to defeat the bin. - -
In reply, Mr. Kelly said the bill con
tained unconstitutional provisions that
would defeat Its purpose. The measure
deserved more mature consideration.
Mr. Kuykendall resented the infer
ence thrown out by Mr. MulkeV that
those who were anxious to have the bill
postponed were laboring for its defeat.
apporiiiment bill could be drafted I
eit-ii Kununasa tnax no re-
tnat wouia give universal satisfaction. I
ne -ues;ea tnat tne. amendment pro
posed by Senator Daly would create a
democratic district and claimed that
Clackamas county was entitled to two
senators by provisions in the new bill.
as that county had a population of 25.000
but by, the new measure that, county I
was. only i allowed one whole senator.

for the amendment, stating ' that the

that the senate would grant that sec
tion, at least a! representative. In the

One ! of the unique features ' of the
bicycle -show In New York city is! a
bicycle built on the famous cantilever
plant This machine is the Invention
of a Dane, and was the most sensation
al exhibit at the recent Chicago cycle
show. The construction1 of the frame
is of the suspens?on bridge order, and
consists of twenty-one perfect trian
glee, made of small steel tubing. The
seat Is swung like a hammock between
Wo supporting points." The frame has
been 'tested' to support a weight of
1800 pounds, and the bicycle complete
weighs from eleven to eighteen pounds.
One of the advantages claimed besides
lightness fs an absolute" absence of
vibration. An English Inventor has
adapted the cantilever frame to the re

MONET IN TRUCK FARMING.,
Success1 of a College Graduate Who -Thought
the Professions Over
' 'i - . " crowded. . I ''
Peter. R.' Schlegol Is a recent gradu-;
ate of Bucknell, university at Lewls
burg. Pennsylvania. He saw that the -professions
were crowded, se he, con
cluded not to waste any tjme on the
law. - medicine or. theology. He made
up his mind to be a small farmer.,
. H took a four-acre tract and began
a systematic, scientific cultivation of
the soiL He now makes as much mon
ey as many farmers do on 100 acres.
He is an expert truck gardener, having
workPd for four, years on a highclass
truck farm in Florida, In addition to
this he had experience Tfn several laree
farms near the college. Not only has
he exhibited more than ordinary-tact
In marketing bj products, but what
ever he raises Is of, the finest quality,
and consequently" commands a price
far above . the ' average. - One of . the
specialties of the Schlegel truck garden
are melona He raised on half an acre
2.600v melons, which he sold in bulk at -
C and 8 cents apiece. 'Melon raising
must be done scientifically, if one
wishes to receive perfect j fruit. .The
trouble with most ot the melons on .
the market is that they lack sweetness..
Mr. Schlegel's are sweet, tender and
juicy. lie attributes j his success to a
System of fertilisation. lie adds cer-.
lain elements to , the soil'' to produce j
saccharine' matter in the melons.- and
gets whs t he wants.- "
Mr. SchTegel also mikes an especial -
elfprt to raise vegetables early or late
In the season. . He . knows Just what
vegetables and what varieties are best
adapted to the different seasons and
the -weather conditions. Last year, he
planted peas In : the open ground as
early as March 18th and produced an
early crop.' Then he! planted some
that were-picked and marketed late In
October at good pricea His expert- -ence
has taught, him that peas can
stand wet and -cold , weather as well. -but
-readily suffer under hot and dry
conditions. A white frost seldom
hurts peaa. Mr. Schlegel's gardens
are elevated to such an extent and
slope in such a manner that the grounrl
becomes fit for, cultivation several
weeks earlier In spring than the aver-:
age soli. , He raises all sorts of! vegeta
bles and selects 4 the varieties In ac-..
cordance .with the tastes of his cus
tomers. He is a strong advocate of ;
small farms and says If college men
would buckle down- to T work on five
acres of ground and bring their brain
work to action they -wouldn't need to
be hard up In the' professions. He is .
In good health and enjoys being hi a
Own bos without excessively hard la- .
bor. He "W."-os '. a horse, two cows
hens and plgeowa, and all yield some- ''
thing for his purse or his table, j - .
AGED SENATORS.
Ten United States senators . have
passed the three score and ten mark,
and Senator Pettust of Alabama, w"ho
Is 78. is the patriarch of that body now
that Senator Morrill Is dead. Two
democratic senators sre evidently un
certain as to' their . ages, and decline to
state when they were born. The late
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, waa sn
sltlve about his age, and always had
it omitted from the congressional di
rectory." ' Gen. Shafter says he could not In
spect beef Ije never saw. " This view of
the case is Safe, and it. 1 a pity that .
some other officers missed it. i
