GOING TO RETURN
MBS. WOODCOCK SATS SHE WILL
SOON VISIT THE LEG
ZSLATTJBE. 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

- 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

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.!'

MOUNT HOO
7TZLL BE ELECTRICALLY LIGHTED
DURING THE GREAT EX
POSITION. 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

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.
The Barker residence on Thirteenth
street is nearly completed. .
Mrs. Adams is repairing her house 00
North Liberty street.

KINDNESS
and macrEsa wrrn
IIOBSES. ''
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.
