Mills, at Dis- ' tance, Looks Like Teddy 'Von Colwell a Only Motion ," To Adjourn,", f , Oregon for a long time has been awaiting ''the ' opportunity of 'accusing someone . o resemoiing leaay j.oose velt. Someone at' the State Ilonse last mofV claimed - to have noticed a re iieniblanee of the invincible Teddy in sneaker Main not in ngure. .Mr. Mills is fat and chubbv, wobbles when h walks, while the Resident has a neat, trim and athletie form. Mr. Mills when he sits in the Speak er ' chair m-.the House of -Represents tives with only his head and shoulders ' appearing, oes look like xtooseveit. This is particularly noticeable when he is viewed from the entrance to the House. The nearer one approaches, the more the resemblance lades away. When be arises n0 one without extra ordinary powers of imagination could find in the redoutable "Teddy": a triking resemblance of. the corpulent Speaker. One night last week during the evening sessions the Speaker wore tives immediately noticed the resem blance and dubbed, Mr. Mills "Teddy the Second." ' ' Representative Von der Ilellen holds the record of being the most reticent and unassuming member of the Oregon Legislative Assembly. One day last week , he made his first speech of the cuiihn. He said onlv a. few words and seemed embarrassed. One of the Representatives requested that. he ex plain more fully his bill, but he refused to take the floor again. Colwell, of reluctant to take the floor. He in troduced a number of bills, and gener ally when they came up for final pas- sage Mr. Colwell had disappeared. One of the other members of the Multno mah delegation would have to offer the explanation of the bills. Mr. Colwell never hesitated alwut making motions to adjourn or suspend the rules. , Such a motion consists of about five words. .". Before the end of the sesinn of the legislature, Pat .McArthur, the read ing i-lerk, became so familiar with thf names of the Representatives that he could call them otf without looking at 'the. roll 'call. McArthur, as a rule. luil to" call the roll about twenty times a Jav. " . One of the Senators called the cle vator nt the State House a "lift."' He rt-fused to refer to it as an elevator. He said that Webster's designated an elevator as a conveyance that traveled at least ten miles per hour. The word "lift" applies to a conveyance that handles freight and is made more for capacity than speed. - " . That the unexpected will sometimes happen was plainly demonstrated in the Hro?e of Representatives when Speaker 3iJls relinquished bis chair to Smith, of Josephine, the Democratic Repre sentative; who has caused more trouble and anxiety to Speaker -Hills than. any ether member of the House. A Salem man. brought the unexpected about by suggesting to Mr. Mills that he, a Be publican, should show this courtesy to the Democratic minority in such a ma fi ner, lie acted acordingly. Represent ative Kay, of Marion county, also oc cupied the chair for a few minutes pne day last week. Three or four times a day Mr. Mills has been in the habit of relinquishing his chair for a few seconds. Republican after Republican was called to the chair, but never Mr. Kay, who so hotly contested Mr. Mills in the race for speakership. It was alleged that the Speaker fostered some animosity against theiIarion county man. This rumor was dispelled when Mr. Kay was at last allowed to sit in the chair, for which honof he had fought so vigorously. ' .- Last week, when a bill relating to the taking of est rays "came op before the House, Representative Burns .hap pened to be absent. He returned just in time to hear his name called when tho roll was being taken on the measrtre Mr. Hums got the, bill. mixed with one which would" materially benefit corpo rations at the expense of the people He asked for the privilege of explain ing his vote, ne delivered the follow ing ppeech. "This is a question that requires the greatest and the most careful attention of every Representative in the nouse. We ' are now voting upon a measure which, if passed, will allow the people of this state to be throttled, strangled and crushed 'bv these inhuman, atro- ms brutes who are dung fostered and fed by the federal government, as well as by nearly every state in the Union.- They must be restricted in stead of. being given full rem.

"Oh," said Burns, who fell back in his seat in tec midst-of a long sentence about "the avaricious corpora tions . A Senate bill came up before the House of Representatives ' last week that no one seemed to know anything about. Representative Bailey asked ihe speaker for an explanation of, its contents. - " The speaker ' is ; no ency clopedia," thundered Mr. Mills; "he doesn't, know." ' The N Representatives were too busy -reading the newspapers to look into the measure, printed copies f which were on their desks, so it was indefinitely postponed. Fortunately the bill was of "no importance. . Senator Coe has ' been nick-named "Grandma," by his colleagues. How ever, they never called him that to his face.

He drew. s picture 'of the city editor firing aim for so grossly and- negligently - insulting a United State Senator. When he had fully recovered his wits and had determined to send in his resignation to save him self tBe;humiUation of ' being "fired, he ventured to inquire the name of the United States Senator" and for waat purpose he was in Oregon. He found, much to; his surprise, -that the worthy gentleman had been at the tate House for five weeks frvTngT"to get a job as a clerk to post bills in the cal endar books. i l' . . . -. .je pages call fbe Representatives thV'gummers."- At times during the session fully ialf of the members of tbo House could foe seen industriously working .their molars on a big mouth ful of-gijm.

Since the recent investigations and indict- nents following the probing of Oregon and frauds, there has been a general skirmish on the part of many holders of timber claims in Southern Oregon -to relinquish their rights and sell improve nents to the government. A number who located as homesteaders, and who feel they are riot living up to the re quirements of the law, desire to secure relinquishments on homesteads, and file on the fclaims in the regular way for purchase. ; The relinquishments are far more general in the matter of homestead en tries than any other.

There are a number of cruisers in this section, with headquarters in Grants Pass, and these report that the land fraud rases hive not put a quietus on the locating business, as might be supposed, though the class of men now locating are different entirely from that of formerly, as the present locat rs are men who desire the claims for themselves and not tor speculative pur poses.

The National Irrigation association is also, opposing the bill on the ground that it will hurt the 'extension of small private immigration works,- and of irri gation under the- aatumal irrigation act, and will effectually . withdraw, great acreage from agricultural - operations which would otherwise be'devcloped by improved farming processes and - the introduction of arid. land crops br the department or agriculture. It is further claimed to be, as far as Colorado is concerned, a railroad seaeme, allowing for the combination and control of very large tracts of gov ernment railroad grant lands with but a bare pretense of settlement. , ! By applying snch a law to the pub lic lands located within railroad grmts, where the alternate sections are owned by the railroads," said Georgo H.

By including within their tract a, leased school sec tion they could control ' 10,830 hcres. Stok concerns consisting of but four cattlemen, each employing throe cow- boysi to, make entries, would be able to thusfenee a single tract of from 33,000 to 40,000 acres. - Such a Land Raid Not Warranted. - rThe enactment of the (Kinkaid 640- acre law for western, Nebraska was probably a tremendous mistake r.n the part j of the government. Thirty year ago doubtless everybody would have fa vored such a law for wesern Kansas. Today the splendidly, increasing farm development of that secfn shows whaffa mislake it would have been. To apply this ilan to other sections of the . i - i i 1 1 . i Y westiwnen we are just on tne tnresnoia of the successful exploitation of the great semi-arid belt, and thus condemn that j region to perpetual stockgrazing, would be, in my opinion, little short of a crime The 'haste with which this legislation is being sought is ground for: the most careful 'consideration by Congress. Congress , could v make , no mistake in applying some' of its ' eld time conservatism in any proposed leg islation for the benefit of western- arid lands, especially when, there is a strong suspicion that the movement is favoted by the great land and stock ' interests of the west."

During the Bush of Last Hours of Ses sion Was Laid Aside With Many Others by President Kuykendall East Seen of It. , Whether stolen with malice afore thought or whether it just "became lost" during tho busy moments attend ing the last hours of tho session is not known to a certainty. But Hermann's bill to abolish bucket shops has disap peared and the most thorough- search on fhe part of the legislative officials, who are responsible for its safe, keep ing, has failed to unearth it. The meas ure, found its way safely through the House and came. up for third reading before the Senate during the last two hours of session, was set aside because it was thought unimportant and would cnosume too ranch valuable .time in de bate, and that is the last that has been heard of it. It is said, however,. that those who had the last to do with the bill have a pretty good idea of what became of it. . " ' j i The Senate had adopted a resolution to adjourn.at 8 o'clock in the evening and had taken a recess from 5 until 7 o'clock. There was more than a score of bills on the clerk's desk up for third reading and final action and it was deemed necessary that this great bunch be "weeded out' if the resolution to adjourn was-to be Jived up to the let ter.. Accordingly,, during the brief in terim .between the arival of the mem bers of the Senate afer luncheon and the , hour set for the evening session, President , Kuykendall, Chief Clerk Moorhead '.and several of the members of the Senate, went through the list very carefully, and selected therefrom those which were of the most impor tance iand would likely take up . the least time in the way of resistance upon the .floor, and the others were laid aside. Hermann's anti-bucket shop bill happened to be among this latter class and that was the last sseew of it, so far as the author, and those who are directly intereted in it are concerned, j Its disappearance 'was not discovered, until," desiring "to know what had.be-1 eome of his pes measure in the upper house, Beoresentative Harmann went into the Senate chamber Saturday af ternoon to make inquiries as to its disposition. The - list of rejected bills was carefully cheeked up but the miss ing bill wa no to be found.
