Time of Senate.
Counsel for. Senator Smoot Offers Tes-
tinjony Intended to Prove Mormon
Morale Is 1 of, Highest Type Two
' Prominent Witnesses Testify.
WASHINGTON' Jan.' 11 The ap
pointment of General 'Miles "as secretary-general
-of the state of Massachu
setts overshadowed all other questions
in tie discussion of the arm appropria-
t ion bill" in the House today. The de
hate ' proceeded ' leisurely ; until Hull, -in
charge of the bill, offered an amend.
ment providing that the retired officers!
above The grade of major should sot
feeeive the full pay of thir grade
when assigned to duty with the militia
. of the e vera! states. Several member
" declared thaf Kie amendment w)i di
rected especially at Miles, but Hull in
sisted he had no suea thought and ar
gued that the oest results were obtained
from the officers of lower grades.
V. He asserted that not until the las
had passed allowing increased pay for
the 'officers .assigned to the militia adid
the retired officers of higher grades 'ap
pty for appointments. lie said that the
" increased pay and ' not patriotism
prompted them and he Characterized the
conduct as unseemly. This statement
aroused Coekran, -of New York, who de
clared that it was simply penalizing
superiors to the advantage-and profit of
?inferi officers. The measure was
'adopted. -
- -Several of toe members severely erit-
icised the army and navy expenses, and
3d. Prince called! attention to the -irge
retired list, which included 236 brigadier-generals,
who, he said, could wot
have been constituted by tho operation
of the law, but disclaimed any inten
tion of charging. mal-administration of
law.
The consideration "of the army bill
was not concluded when tho House od
. journed. ,
The attention of the Senate today
-was divided by the statehood question
and the governmental regulation of
railroads. Xewlands made a formal
speech on the railroad subject and at
it's close, engaged in; a spirited contro
versy over the points involved with
Hpooner, Foraker and others. All the
t to tho statehood bill ex
cept that relating to the liquor traffic (
in the Indian Territory were agrcou io.
' SmOot Investigation.
Washington, .an. 11. Testimony in-
- tended, to prove that the Mormon morale
, i of the highest type and torefute the
word of other witnesses who declared
to, the contrary, was offered bv the
counsel of Senator Smoot todav. W. J.
.McConnell. formerly United States Sen
ator and twice Governor of Idaho, and
Representative Burton L. French n
member of the present Congress, and
who was re-elected for another term,
were the day 'a witnesses.
Both of the witnesses today denied
many statements directed against tho
Mormon "church, McConnell said that
" the .Gentile1 members of the Idaho Le
' - istatore were not as high in morals as
tho. Mormon members, and that if it
were-not for the question of geography
and-their knowledge -of the legislative
needs that. the . interests of the state
' would be . served by an entire
Mormon Legislature. 1
' House Against Bevision.
Washington, 'Janf ; 11. - A prominent
member of the House said to-t be As-
aoclated Press today that the poll which
the leaders of the House had conducted
on the question of tariff revision show
ed that '.O . per cent of the members
apnroached. were against revision. AH
the leader of tho House .except Payne,
chairman of the wars and means com
mit tee, who is laid up with rheuma-
-tism,-and Tawney, are against the re
vision. The work of crystallising the
sentiment against tho revision is being
done bv DalSell and Grosvenor, and it
is stated that practically all the. Repub
lican members from the states of Pettu
. aylvania. Ohio. New York. New Jersey
and. West Virginia are rainst revision.
The Pacific coast delegation was un-
Vable to get together todav. Friends of
the revision seem to be taking no
1 tlve interest in advancing their ideas,
but, claim to have many , members of
the various delegations on their side.

r.. -
. The matter of changing the . game
laws is a question that- is attracting
eonsidcrble attention throughout the
state. From the present indications, it
seems that the statute will be amend
ed and the game throughout the state
will receive more, strrct and rigiJ pro
tection. ' .
: The Portland papers' are . devoting
considerable space .to this subject and
the general trend of their articles i
to the effect that the Portland sports
men are much opposed, to any drastic
measures on the part of tho Legisla
ture to further the protection of the
game, partieularlywild fowl.
: In almost every direction in the
vicinity ,of Portland will be 'found
ponds leased as private preserves. The
ducks and other wild fowl that fre
quent these pouds, are fed regularly
throughout the week and hunted on
Sundays. It is claimed that the baited
ponds draw the ducks from all over thv
state and consequently causes a scarc
ity except' in the vicinity of Portland
and other places where there "are pre
serves. The local sportsmen have interested
themselves in the matter and . while
they di not want to derive the Port
land hunters of their pleasure, they
would like to see a law passed prohib
iting t3e baiting of ponds, '"which,, they
sar, would be only in justice to the peo
ple in. general. j
Only a lew rears back wild fowl
were very plentiful on the ponds sur
rounding Salem. Now" there are but
few. This may be due to ' natural
causes, but every year witnesses ' the
baiting of .additional ponds on the Co
lumbia Viver and th growing scarcity
of ducks in thl vicinity! . The Port
land hunters claim that there is aji un
pre.cedenfed large number of birds on
the' coast and that the gradual disap
pearance of them inland is due to carp,
which destroy the seeds and weeds on
which ducks subsist. They also say
t"iat the rapid development of 'the coun
try and the draining of swamps to be
used for farming purposes have caused
the birds to seek other quarters, and
that if they should cease baiting they
als would suffer , a scarcity.
The Chinese pheasants are becoming
scarcer, and among the remedies sug
gested is the prohibition of the use of
dogs in pursuit of them. Another is
to stop the sale. It is proposed to cut
the limit of 50 ducks a day down to
23, and to stop the sale. ' ' ,
The proposed discontinuance of the
sale of wild game, has met with con
siderable opposition, as there are many
people who do noC enjoy shooting,; but
who are particularly fond of wild
game as an eatable.- J-i ' '
Although as a (general ' rule ; private
preserves entail a vgreat amount of ex
penditure, a number of Portland men
of" only moderate circumstances are en
abled to belong to shooting , clubs
through the saTe of the birds they kill,
which bring a ready market. So many
plans and remedies have been suggest
ed thai the resmlt is simply a case of
conjecture. .

McBride's Message.
Governor McBride 's retiring message
was short and received without mani
festation. He said in part: .
'The finances of the .state are' In a
healthy condition. " For . the biennial
term ending September 30, " 1902, the
ttate indebtedness was reduced $131,
J22.34, and for the biennial term .end-
ng September 30, 1904, $122,610.86,
making a total reduction during tho
four years of $253,833.20. The reduc
tion is largely due -to the fact that" in
teveral instances, it has been found not
necessary to expend the entire amounts
ippropriateda't the last session. .
' New Irrigation Code Needed.
"A swbject of Very great importance
toTITe state is that of irrigation... I
understand- this state has contributed
in the neighborhood of $3,500,000 tP
uhe ' Bee lamat ion Fund.' It is certain-,
y of the utmost, importance p the state

gineering standpoint, and it seems
equally clear, that. our laws are nbt such
4 to warrant : those in charge of the
reclamation service in undertaking to
carry out, such projects. Therefore, in
the final analysis, the question whether
the money; contributed by this state to
the Reclamation Fun' is to,be expend
ed in this state depends upon the uctim
of this Legislature. This in my opinion
is one of the most important subjects
which you will be called upon to con
sider. Some time ago it was suggested
to me by officials of the United States
reclamation service -that finder our laws,
as they now are, it would not bo feas
ible to undertake any irrigation project
in this state. t " -r.--.:;t .-.;.-..-,..
The McBride Hobby. . --ij .
"I feel like congratulating Ihc'pcopl
of the state upon the fact that wentl
ment is now almost unanimous in favor
of the passage of a railway commission
USL Many who have been bitterly op
posed, to it in the past now seem to
be clamoring for the enactment of much
a measure. Theirsincerity will be put
to the test during this session. A com
mission bill that is a commission bill
in -name only, instead of quieting, would
serve to increase the agitation, that has
been carried on in this state upon this
question. What ia needed is a regula
tive, appointive railway commission
clothed with ample power to remedy
existing abuse. Any, other kind of a
commission, . in my . judgment, would
prove to be worse thari useless. I trust
the wisdom of taia LegTslature may be
sufficient to settle this question proper
ly, for, in roy judgment,; it will never
be settled in this state until it is set
tied right." ; -
