Familiar Tigaxt In Salem and Bearer of Boosevelt Standard Is Now in Portland Getting Matters Straighten ed Up In That City. One "of the familiar faces missed at the State House is that of Mrs. Wood cock's, the exalted personage who car ried the "Ttosenfelt" flag East during the last Presidential campaign. Mrs. Woodcock, who spent two weeks here, stated before she left that she would be back as soon as sho was satisfied that things were running smoothly in Portland. Mrs. Woodcock is not a new. figure to the Salem residents as last year she was in attendance at the State Fair, where she made herself conspicuous by displaying and lauding her Bosenfelt nag. When there Is anything impor tant going on in any portion of . the state Mrs. Woodcock is aways on band. She says she has been treated so well . in Salem that she intends to visit here often. She did not state with whom she would visit. Mrs. Woodcock believes in the theorv that if a person becomes prominent I they must continue to 'do things" or! they wiU fade away into obscurity and ; become sC reluctant and dissatisfied j member of the reat army of forgotten. Mrs. Woodcock said she was getting rather rusty in Portland from inactiv ity and that when the Legislature met she decided to take hold of the oppor tunity and do something to sustain her reputation of being a woman of extra ordinary character of push- and -pro- gresstveness. J Last week she lobbied, and lobbied ; hsrd, to have a bill presented and pass ed to create a whipping rost for the punishment of 'wifebeaters. Mrs. Wood cock has a- very original manner of, atmroaehisg the ' persons whom she thinks will helo her in her fight to punr ish the refractory wifebeaters. She first gets them up in a corner, introduces herself as the woman who carried . the fla2.. to Washington. If the person she approaches should be so unfortunate as to have never heard of her, he immediately receives a lengthy r and harsh lecture in whieh she advises him to break Sway from his pathway of ignoranee and become better ac- ouainted with the world and the re nowned Mrs. Woodcock. The woman lobbyist then dives into a spacious, but nevertheless crowded hand satchel and proceeds to make her victim read one by one all the notices she has received in her career from the newspapers. ' By this time the poors Senator or Bepresentative is 10 worn out and anxious to get away that he will acquiesce to any promise she puts forth. .'.. ; ' ' tl-s " Mrs. Woodcock says she is satisfied that her Pt bill will be passed by the House without the least iota of otv, position. She even proposes to insert the much discussed emergency clause and beard the Governor in his den and make him sign the bill, so that she esn get immediate action on some of the wifebeaters running at large- She says she can handle the Governor - without difficulty; as he appears to be a man of ", ' unusually high lnteileclnaiity ana nne; sense OX justice. resemDimg eeu m i those traits. Besides, she says, although - he may be Governor, he would not darp I to oDoose such a personage as herself, ! beeanse, if he did, the people, and her j reat standby, the newspapers, would' r' P arms in dismay and resent-; et and that they would not stop their battle until they had fully aveng-J ed th. insult to the woman who carried. .tIiosenMt flag. . j lrm.

LABORS. ARE ' SOON TO END BUT ONE MORE WEES OF LAW- mabtng at- the capttol. IjAST .TOS TO BE ; BUSTLES. Important Bills to Be ; Hurried From the House of Bepresentatires t ; . to the Senate. " . . Yesterday's Session Saw Passage of Huykendall's Board of Control Bill Bailroad Pass Bill Defeated Both Drain- Normal School Bills Swamped. - There is left but one more week for the Twenty-third Legislative Assembly to remain in session. This week will be by far the most eventful and in teresting of the previous five devoted to legislation. Both the Senate and the House of Representatives have a large amount or work on nana which is of such extent and importance as to necessitate the holding of several night sessions. The House will hold a night session Monday, evening, as " they have still on hand , a number ox tiupassed House bills which must be transmitted to the Senate before Tuesday. The time allowed for the transferring of bills between the two houses expires this week, but the rules were suspend ed yesterday upon the request of the oepreseniauves wuicu wui give lucw until Tuesday. -The Senate is assured of two big fights next week when the- Killings worth railroad and the Jayne local op tion bills come up for final passage These measures originated in the Houst of Representatives. Not much hope is held ont for the successful issue of the Killingsworth bill, whieh would eompe trunk railroads to connect with anc handle the business of independent branch lines. Its defeat is not eertain however, and it may be successful ir spite of the present indications. WitI the local option - bill it is an entirely different proposition. Jotn slues eiain that they have a sufficient number o votes promised to insure victory. Tb opposition to the Jayne amendmen assert that they have been pledged sev enteen out of the thirty votes. If thifr is . the ease the Ioeal option law wil remain as it is. - President Knykendall is the " leadei in a determined and organized move ment to place the state institutions un der the government of one board- of control to consist of the Governor, sec retary of state and treasurer. Th strength of the supporters of this move ment was brought to bear in the Sen ate yesterday when a bill to this ef feet was passed by a vote of 17 to 11 Mr. Knykendall is the author of th bill. There was .considerable opposi tion and there will be still more wher the 1 bill reaches the House of Bepre sentatives for third reading. The sup porters or the. measure are almosi unanimously of the Opinion that tb measure will prove successful, as thej assert the" bill contains too mueh' meril to be cast aside. They say the con servative members will predominate in the House, as they did in the Senate The Knykendall bill provides that the : Governor, secretary of state an treasurer shall be vested with all the powers exercised by the different boards of trustees and commissioners which shall be abolished when the lav goes into effect in January, 1907. The; will have the privilege of adoptin"; sneh rules as they deem proper for the government ef the different institu tions under their control. The boart shall appoint all the officers and em ployes of the institutions and prescribe their duties and obligations. They also will have the power to remove an of the public officials when it is re quired for the good of public service. Supplies for the institutions shall br purchased from the lowest responsible bidders after publicly advertising f 01 the same. The board is also authorize to purchase in the same manner the supplies for the state offices and offi rers and to establish and maintain r depot of supplies at or near the Cap itol ; building. The institutions that would be affected by this law jf en acted, are the state insano asylum penitentiary, reform school, institute for blind, school for deaf mutes and the soldiers '. home. The board will also have the supervision and control of the publie buildings and grounds locat ed at or near Salem.. 80 sure were they of success, the members of the House yesterday took pity on Smith, of Josephine, and for a lew minutes allowed him the pleas ure of believing that he - had at last accomplished something in his great fight against the railroads. When the roll was being called on his bill, to prohibit the use of passes by public of ficials, so many of -the Multnomah dele gation answered in the affirmative that he Believed it would be carried.' 'When the Vote was being counted .by the elerk be strained forward in his seat to hear the verdict and was ready to receive the congratulations of his friends. As has been the ease in the majority of his drastic measures, his bill failed to receive the necessary number. The vote was 30 to 29. . The result came as a surprise as nearly -everv one thought there were more "ayes'' than nayes.' - . . . f In making his speech for the bill, Smith became greatly excited and made many uncomplimentary, remarks about the railway corporations. . No one at tempted to answer him Until the roll was called. When the clerk called Kill ingsworth, another anti-railrbad man, that gentleman took the floor and startled Smith and the rest of the Rep resentatives by declaring himself against the bill. Mr. Killingsworth said he cad been frghtintr the railroads as herd a Smith but that he did not believe the distribution- of passes in fineueed the members in the enactment of legislation.' They had been sent there to represent the state and he be lieved it was natural and right that the railroads should show them as much courtesy as within their power. : Several other members expressed the same views but nevertheless voted for the bill, knowiacr that it would not pass. They said - the acceptance of passes i no way obligated them' to the railroads. They were receiving but a meagre salary and believed it would be absurd to stop, the free distribution of railway transportation. - One of the members said a bill should be enacted compellivg the railroad : to furnish j transportation. Smith took his defeat good naturedly and afterwards remark ed that he thought he wae entitled to the passage or at least one- 01 nis r&u road bills. - "Besides,"- he said, "if m. t1 it would only be buried in the Senate.!'

Most Wonderful Eletrical' Feature Ever Planned For an Exposition Is Being Designed by Experts For Lewis and Clark Centennial at Portland. PORTLAND, Feb. 11. Plans for the uost wonderful electrical . feature .ever perfected for an exposition are being .vorked out by eleetrial experts for the ewis and dark Exposition at Port- and. - A searchlight, casting' a beam of ight eighty ineherf wide, which will ierce the darkness for a distance of iOO miles, will be placed on the crest of Mennt Hood, which risen to a height of .155 feet above sea level, and is dis- nt 46 miles from Portland.; . From the exposition ' grounds four mow-capped peaks, Mount Hood, Mount Lanier, Mount St. Helens and Mount Y damn, can be seen on any clear day. when tne rays from the monster search ight on Mount II nod are directed upon one of the otner peaks, it will-make the mountain stand out in bold relief, its every cleft and crag visible much nore dearly than in brightest sunlight. It is calculated that the flash on Mount tan ier. which is 100 miles from Mount -lood, could be seen plainly on a clear sight from cities) on Puget Sound, suea is Seattle andTacoma, and that vessels -'20 miles off tho coast could make out plainly the wide beam" in the sky. The cost of installing the monster tcare might , on Mount Hood will be ;30,0OO, and the operation will entail sonsiderable labor and a great deal of engineering skill. J. B. Thompson, electrical engineer for the exposition, is perfecting tne plans. ; In order to ecuro sufficient power for the light, a transmissions line trill have to be built 10 .a point near Cloud Cap Inn, 6800 feet up the mountain side, and a tern porary generating plant installed at this point. The searchlight' will be placed on a short tower of wood and ron, erected at the highest point on Mount Hood. The lower part of toe tower will be 'used for the apparatus ind operators. As the temperature on Mount Hood every night is far below the freezing point, arrangements will be made so that the operators ,snug!y boused in the base of the tower, may operate the transformers . and motors without exposing themselves to tlae eold. . ' In addition to the searchlight effect from the summit the establishment of the electrical apparatus affords means for the general illumination of the mountain by are lights. One hundred arc lights, equal in power to those used in street illumination, will be dis tributed on the side of the mountain facing Portland, so that the whole mountain side will be brilliantly illum inated. Besides the use of the search Ught and are lights, great quantities of red fire will be utilized to produce another unique effect. When - the red powder is burned it will give the peak the appearanee of a mountain wrapped in flames. This latter effect has been produce I on several occasions by the use ox &u pounds ox red fire. r iJszcm of fisatenjy )' ntytfiMMMiisiriM a tst- jBAS.raiviTe nrsKisua A , faliMhi lwmwHit miitn In in n 111 j ttfrr tauar, TamU anHUHhK A W Saa ama a m .ata Mmaii. f 9 MaaaMa.miWK -- m . w r . m 1 1 ?

CONTBACTOBS ABE t BXPT : BUSY ureatest Impetus to Operations ' This Direction Ever Experienced by Salem. , In Anxious to Impress Visitors Next Sam rner Saleraltes Are Framing Plans ? for New Homes and Dwellings Will Add to City's Appearance. That . Salem will - experience this spring the greatest building era since her v incorporation, is he candid pre diction of nearly every contractor and tuilder of this city.' Dozens of resi dences are now under construction and many more are contemplated.: Several new business blocks ' will be erected this spring and summer, several of the proposed builders having gone so rar 1 to consult contractors and to have plans drafted. It is ' said - that - this building activity which is rapidly ma terializing sis in expectation of - the thousands of visitors who will visit Salem this summer. The residents of this city are anxious to have the town to appear as attractive as possible. As a result, a number of people will erect residences this spring, whereas before they expected to. wait for a couple of more years. An unusually large num ber of homes are being repaired at the oresent time, some or the improvements teing very expensive. Salem is also eertain of tbei erection of a new High school, which will not cost, approximately, less than $35,000 or $40,000. The erection of a new building for the Oregon school for deaf mutes near this city is also reasonably vrtain. Th rnmrriittMi ennoiated h the Legislature ' has recommended the construction of a $70,000 building for. this purpose, and there is little doubt tut that the report will be approved and the appropriation for that amount made. There is also a bill before the Legislature for the appropriation of nearly $9000 for the purpose of im oroving the grounds surrounding the State House. It also provides for the laying of additional cement walks lead ing to the Capitol building. This amount will undoubtedly be secured, as it is included in the general ap propriation bill. ' Work on the improvement of Marion Square park will commence with the opening of spring, whieh will result in the expenditure of nearly $1000. The Paeifie States Telephone & Telegraph Company is anxiously awaiting the ar rival of the necessary material to em ploy a force of from sixty to seventy men to be used in the installation of the new telephone system. These men will have employment until June. The erection of one or more woolen mills some time this spring is also talkec of. From the present indications it appears that $10,000 will be expended by the state for the general improve ment of the State Fair grounds. Besides these contemplated improve ments a force of men has been engaged for the last two or three weeks in the beautifying of the low . section of ground along Willson avenue. - Salem is also assured of the erection of a very substantial and credible busi ness block in the place of the Chinese "rookeries" which are situated almost in the hart of the city. While the whole block may not be replaced by brick buildings immediately, it is cer tain that at least three or four two story buildings will be constructed. The brick building to be used by the) Jfacine Telephone Sc Telegraph Com pany, which is rapidly nearing comple tion, will be the first brick structure to replace, these; tnmble shacks. The annual repairs on all the state institu tions will also result in the circulatior 01 a" considerable amount of money in Salem. The following are a few of the residences that are being constructed and repaired: - 1 i The Mrs. i Wicke new cottage in North Salem is nearing completion ant will be ready for occupancy within a few days.

'' Famett, Idaho, an. 22,: 1903.-Editor Pacific Homestesd: In the Homestead of January 12th appears an artiele by Dr. J. L. Roberts on a theme of great importance and I wish to thank Mr. Roberts for the able manner in whieh ae has handled the matter. I am with him heart and soul but I can not but smile at . the cloeing of it, when he wishes for a law to dispose of vicious horses and says they will surely get their victim sooner or later To ms it would seem more wise to have the lawcompel every horse omier to study the horse for there are practi cally no well-bred horses that are not capable of Wng. made -kind and safe even for a child to handle and it only takes an expert trainer from 20 min utes to three tours to so change the entire nature of a horse that. he will be kind and safe the balance of his life and a few days study will make any of ordinarv intelligence capable of doing the same in two or three days at most. I have been a hunter quite often and have -encountered many fierce animals but by far the most terrible animal I eveV saw was a horse that bad made cripples of several men and finally not anW killed a man but literally tore him in pieecs; nevertheless I saw him made is kind and safe as any horse can be, in three hours, and he always stayed kindso perfectly kind that children were perfectly safe to pel and handle him at will. The great trouble in this country is there are too many men that refuse to learn. Thiss especially true wit a the (so-called) broncho buster. I onee bought an outlaw horse in Oregon and the next day rode him without bridle through the street and had the little boys a!l shouting at me every time they saw me to get off my horse and sing and make the horse dsnee and do many other tricks. Well, what did the busters sayt "Why yon did that by giving the horse drugs." . My reply to such talk as that is: If any man will show me a drug that will enable a horse to learn more in a given length of time I will surely take a dose of the medicine and I think the busters that try to break horses by abuse stand in need of quite a lot of it. For my part. I wish every horse owner would study Prof. D. Msgner's book the "Art 0 Taming Horses," for I believe it would do away with more cruelty than all the humane societies. 1 ' ' If a horse is inclined to be vicious there are two things that must not be lost sight or, viz you can neither coax him out pf tne habit nor whip it out of him. The foundation to horse train ing is kindness and firmness. . ; J. M- Burlingham.
