The Tuesday session of the Twenty
third Il-Jative Ajwonjbly "was Bote
' worthy fr the unusual activity and
fonsiitcnt work in the House and for
the drv and wholly uninteresting, pro
ceeding " the Senate. Only
few
bills of minor importance were antro- j fcas Leen n, aiatiliet absence, of exasper
dnccd ia the Senate and both the morn-1 n,, delay and petty quarrelling whieb
jng and
J ternoon sessions were of but
slmrt durftion. ,
Immediately upon convening the
morning smioa in the House the bills
passed at the last 'sion and vetoed
l.y the Governor were taken up and
iilose.l of witliin a. eodwarati vely
hurt time. Tl. Lilts were live in num

Bailey, "of Multnomah, made a little
talk in favor of the bill in which he
fullr exjlained the Governor's; posi
tion upon th matter. The lill 1 was
then frfi-ssed by rm -uurniimous vote. IT.
B. Of a bill to'raise the salary of the
-hoI sniperintendent of Multnomah
county from $i."50 to $2500 a year.
The other four bills are II. K 304
to funfl warrant indebtedness of Mnlt

charter of the city of Astoria: H. B,

Throe of the bills were rejected by
v.n unanimous vote but H. B. Z6 was
iuip'rfcl lr a number of Kepresenta
tivn who firmly believed that the bill
was worthy of passage. One of those
vorr much in favor of " the bill was
Tho. V: Kay. of Marion. He took the.
floor and declared himself in favor of
the bill in a plain and unmistakable
' !'. 1 Juration. Mr. Kay said that: the

Tint content with having fettled; the
vetoed hills of the. Governor 's,' a largWt
number of bills were introduced for
their first reading; thirty-four oeing
presented. Besides the lange number of
bills introduced there were several im
wrtant .resolutions brought to the at

.dueod a joint resolution to adjourn the
resent session of the Legislature on
Fri-lav. February. 10, a weebj in advance
ef the fortv davs allowed for legisja
tion Tho resolution was referred to
committee. While this premature ad
inurnment would save the state some1'
thing like $10,000. the opinion seems to
prevail that there : is so ntuch. impor

The only item iof interest in the Sen
ate rroiied out in the afternoon when

third time, having received the approv
al, of the committee. Before it was
read .however, on motion it was! laid
on the table for future attention, i
K B. 8 is to raise the age of consent
fn.m 1 to 18 years.' An investigation
mows that many memo - 01 ino sen
ate are in favor of; the passage of, the
bill if certain amendments are made.
It is not known whether Coe will ree:
ommend .the proposed amendments' or
try to secure the passage of the bill as
it stands. -- ' -

M COMMENT.
For Kctt Connties.
The forerunners of a bitterl. and
clofely wmtested county division war
have puj:; in their appearance at the
House f Represent ail ves. -While there
are many who have ,not had fueir at
tention attracted to the matter a yet,
there are two forces quietly ai work,
both with ,ihe determination tio obtain
their tnd.. ;
The countyof Wasco is the seat of
all the trouble, a there are two sep
arate faction endeavoring to -iiave the
county divided, liast week Burgess in
troduced a lill to have the southeastern
portion of tha county separated, and
with a portion of Crook countyr fornvt
Jefferson county. clt is alleged that this
is an attempt to prevent a furtaer di
vision, . because" if one new county is
formed another movement to again di
vide the count would receive but little
consideration. -, -
Yesterday Iyne of Wasco, present
ed a bill to form the county of Cascade,
which would consist of the western one-
fourth of the county of Wasco. The
people in the vicinity of the proposed
new district are anxious to succeed in
their - effort, as they say ' it is badly
needed. Tiin people of Dallas'the county
seat, are much opposed to this divisirm
and favor the formation of Jefferson
county. 1 -
-The proposed cascade county is
known as the IFood River valley section
and Is noted for. its fruit raising and
lumber industry! The country sur
rounding' Hi e Dalles is also Tenowned
for its wheat and the productiveness of
its eoil in- t"m- cultivation 1 of all prod
ucts common in this 'part "of the state.
The two sections are separated by two
high nionntains and re conrtscted by
rail and wagon road. The wagon road
is said to be in
Very bad condition and
rarely used.' t'ne -expensive traveling on
the railroad Cerng rbe only alternative
fpr the inhabitants of the Hood River
valley who xlesife'or who are compelled
t"T mave 'regular trips to the county
seat, j '' ' '
The strongest argument expounded
by the Hood River propaganda i3 that
as tEe section are distinctly opposite
each other in relation to their natural
resources and that" they should be di
vided. By showing the diversity of the
interests of the two sections, both in
an agricultural and commercial light,
combined with inadequate means of
reaeTTTng Th Dalle without taking the
trains.gjtfelood River people hope to
get. their bill passed.!

Although Coverno Chamberlain ear
ly yesterday morning sent n. message to
the two houses in wjiuih he .tovk a de-
euiea aittl tleterminea sta&a upon tbe
referendum clause, ho later signed a bill
with an emergency clause, attached.
When the news had -fpread' throughout
the State House that the Governor hod
attached his signature to a bill eontain-
ing an emergency clause, it created nojof mrenty-third Iegisiature,
end of comment.
II. B. 5, by Laws, which Was Blamed
by the Governor, is a bill for a-n act
to authorize a special tax ia Clatsop!
for a period of several "vears for the!
construction and firrnishin-? f a court!
house. The bill was one' that needed!
the immediate legislation that it.
eeived and met the entire approval of
the Governor.- The-bill Went into
feet as soon as Signed bv the Governor
because of its emerrreney clause. This
i the first Bill passed, bv the houses
inai nas ueen preseniect to t.ne uovernor

and passed.
Concerning his stand upo-i the refer
endum clause " Governor- Chamberlain
yesterday said to a - Statesman repre-1
sentative: "Emer'-ency clauses are all
Jriorht when really needed'but nn ttianyl
dius nave oeen ' lniroaucea lately con-i'g
tuning an emergency clause when
there was alsolutely' no excuse for it.
Great care should be used by the Leg
islature to avoid attaching an emer
gency clause to any bill which is not
clearly and distinctly for" the purpose
of preserving the publie vpeace, health I
or safety of our neode.t When. an I
emerc-ency clause is rcallv necessarv II

A number of bills were nnssed by the I

Grounds a debt of 420.000. The state
school fund held a mo.rtaa-?e for that
-
amount on the Fair Grounds. As the
state school fund is irreducible,- Senator
Croisan decided to take tcps to place
tne rair ti rounds out of debt by an ap
propriation. Its passage in the House
and its signing bv the Governor i au
thoritatively orexlieted.
The House liveneo up considerably
yesterday in the consideration of sev
eral bills which were up for Kasac or
shelving. Smith (Joseph! ucV was the
instigator of most of the excitement, as
he made several speeches in which lie
became verv emphatic in- his declara
tions and allegation-. Jagar Cornett.
Vawter West and -Edwards all m-.le
talks on the same subject, used. by. M r.
Smith, but took an opposite view of the
matter.
The trouble resulted over the report
or the committee which held II.' B. 5!,
Mayger, to nrovide tor tbe" election of
road supervisors, in disfavor.'" The re
port of the committee wa sustained
snd the bill indefinitely postponed. On
the vote taken 'forty-seven were "in fa
vor of the shelving of the bill and ten
against. - -..-. -t- r-.
Smith made another sieech at the nf
ternoon session when his H B. 19 came
np'for passage -H.-B. 19 Ls to r-xroirtsi
tbe publication of all -eompaign eontrt
butions. Mr. Smith delivered one of his
characteristic, impassioned addresses
and stated his position upon the matter
so clearly that he was heartily appland
ed when he finished, Mr. Smith said
that he expected his bill would receive
but a small minority of votes, but his
appeal seems to have won the hearts
of .a number of the Republicans, as it
received a large vote. Only ; thirty
votes were east or the indefinite post
ponement of the bill and. twenty -six;
were against its being shelved, and as
a result the bill was sentenced .to ob-
scontyV? V'-"Vr;-0 i."T'': ' :'.
Three bills were passed in the House,
