It, 17 to com mittee with Instructions to report in favor of taxing tho ImhuIs for state ami county purKwen (this having re. lntluii to the Portland waterworks). Thin bill Iniing now on its third rettd Iujc. The (Uetlon was tllcutol fur some time, W. llnrln looked at it tw an appropriation. The object is to aid the city of Portland. We give aid to urloihi communities to MMjmaa.-nBggrujiJUJmiii"i"i'''gg'r' build bridges, roads, etc. This is an cnterprlso of the people of Portland to give themselves water. If you do tax, make the law interest in them higher. The senator for Baker, Chandler, said their town of Pendleton had now sucli bonds untaxed and towns all around had such bonds untaxed. Whv should Portland be taxed? Senator Tongue said it would not matter In tho sale of bonds outside of Portland the fraction of a tenth of a mill. Only in Portland might it in fluence the price of the bonds. He denied it was a public enterprise. The proceeds from the rent of hy drants are kept separate from all other moneys, and are paid out only on tho order of the committee of Portland. By similar means we may enable Portland to buy up all business there and evade taxation. Senator Carson said, that all water used in Portland was from the Wil lamette river which is the sewer of the whole valley. As a result much sickness prevails typhoid fever is universal and tho doctors say it is tho result of using this water. Now wo want relief. Will you aid us? Senator Watts The tax will amount to $4500 per annum. Tho gist of the whole matter is a question of competition between Portland capitalists and those of other places. Shall our men here stand on equality with those of other places? As a friend of humanity 1 favor good pure water, and so fur as Portland is concerned the bigger she is and tho more Portlands we have the better. Why discriminate against our own capitalists? Mr. Chandler regards it as a city enterprise so ho bus been informed and as ho expects to ask a similar favor for u city of his district ho will not favor the amendment. Motion was lost. The question on passage of the bill came on and it passed by yeas, 20; nays, 4. So it became the law. F. J. R. No. 2, relation to com mittee to examine books of the fish commission. On motion senate concurd. HILLS HEAD A TIIIKD TIME. S. B. 21 by Raley. Act to com plete a wagon road from Pendleton to Canyon City and appropriating $1200. Senator Vealcli opposed the bill. Such bills have frequently been pro posed within his cxpe'rience as a member. It is voting away the tax money of our people in a way that is decidely unconstitutional. Senator Cogswell was astounded at such opposition from sucli a source. Tlio Willamette valley has had immense sums appropriated to enable the ommeico hero to pass along tho river sums even taken from the school funds. No one ob jected. Now we ask for a littlo to aid in opening up new legions through naturally limcce-slble barri ers and wo aro told the doors ore closed. Ho referred to a decislmof tho supreme court that "appropria tions to open a way through inac cessible barrlois between communi ties aro of public iuteiest," and therefore not unconstitutional. Senator Watts explained about the reference to a former appropria tion of money from school funds to aid the commerce of tho Willamette, that It was done by senators from other parts of tho state mainly, and only then succeeded by ousting one member from his seat. The vote on tho bill stood ayes 22, nays S, and it became a law. HOUSE. MONDAY AFTERNOON'S SESSION. Resolution that tho committee on the fishing industry visit tho Co lumbia river fisheries; lobt.

As It has been a good many weeks since R. H. Dearborn's name was sent to tho Senate for confirmation as postmaster of Salem, it becomes a matter of speculation as to whether his nomination will be confirmed. Before tho holiday vacation his namo was before that august body and it was thought by those who were supposed to be In a position to know that he would be commission ed at once. Days have followed days, into weeks turned, and weeks Into months, and still tho matter stands untouched. The only cause assign ed for the delay is: tliat for the short time he could serve before a change ofadmiuistratlon a change of post masters would not be politic. Mr. Odell has continued to satisfactorily fill the trust during the four years of democratic rule. But Mr.Dearborn's friends cannot content themselves with the idea that tho incoming ad ministration would follow the prece dent, were he appointed. Hence they do not push the matter. Civ il Service reform is a great thing sometimes. That is, it is just the thing when.through stress of circum stances, the party m power cannot, until the expiring hours of tho ad ministration, strike upon a candidate for tho position in question who is satisfactory to the party leaders. Mr. Dearborn is a good, deserving man, and one whom tho party would do well to honor. He has served it well and his appointment to tho oostniastership would be wholly satisfactory to a majority of the out- goingparty. He would make a good postmaster. But as national affairs take a change of heads in five weeks it is barely probablo that Mr. Dear born will have the pleasure of add ing P. M. after his name. LOCAL SUMMARY.
