How the Legislature Used to
Be Held
A. NltBr, of I'orttenU, one of the
adBt newoiwiw mn In th tat,
linn bewn a regular attendant at the
legislature the last wwk, was telling
a reporter of his recollections of the
tlmo whon the legislature was held
horo on Sunday, In order to oxnctly
liroscrlbe with the law, which require
a ballot to bo taken on U. S. sonator
jvury day until ho Is olectad. This:
marks tho flrut porlodof understand
InK along this lino, as Inter It was de
cided that Sunday was a IokbI holiday,
so a vote was latum every day but
thnt. Now tho nttorney-genorul has
Interpreted the law to man that ovary
loelalntlve day durliiR the session Is
meant, so whon neither the house or
tho senate rhooee to meet, It Is con
uldered not to be a leftlslatlve day,
and as Urlctly as over the letter of
tho law Is observed.

Would Make a Big Lake.
A staff correspondent of tho Ore
gonlan, writing from Hums, Knstorn
Oregon, says of a recent survey of n
proposed Irrigation enterprise: A
dam 400 feet long at tho bottom, 00
feet high, and 730 feet long nt the top
would make n lake of Sllvles valley.
The lake would be 8 miles In length.
It would average 1 In width; It
would hold an average depth of 30
fet of water. It would be fed by the
stieams that drnln 12 townships of
high mountain lands, which receive
the heaviest snowfall of this region.
There are suld to be In all 17 of these
streams, and they reach up to this
summit of the southern spur of the
Illue mountains. Any person can
easily believe tJjst mountain region
would dampen tho outside limits of
the lake In one flood season and fur
nish a constant and adequate supply
of water for the rich soil of Harney
valley

'" THE MAN FOR SENATOR.
Until soeae good man Is elected.
The Journal will take the liberty to
speak of the most prominent aspi
rants, not to dictate any mans selec
tion, but to bring out their good
points.
T. T. Geer. who made a vory good
governor, was favorod by this paper
for a renomlnatlon. The editor voted
a Geer primary ticket, nnd thon voted
for him for senator on election day.
We considered him right on "pie tariff
and expansion.
Having expressed hlmsolf In that
way, the editor does not consider that
he has any furthor right to'Jnfllsi on
his own Idea in this mattun and would
like to troat Mr. Geer Just as well
as any other candidate.
Mr. Geer Is a pleasant cnnumlgn
speaker of more thnn ordinary force
and ability before nn audlonce. but
not for his great profundity. Ills hu
mor, and tho fnct that ho does not
shoot ovor the heads of theorjllnary
man manes mm u yihckbuvi.
More nlaiiBlble than stable, more
witty than wise, more disingenuous
thnn sagacious, he would still make a
more than avorago member of tho
Bonato, and If kopt tlioro long enough
would become a vory usoful man.
In our next wo will speak of some
other aspirant equally worthy as
Geer, nnd only montloned second be
cause some one had to be mentioned
first.
PROVISION FOR THE ORPHANS.
The general laws of this state for
the support of orphans has now been
In opeiatlon for two years, and seems
to have worked very well. At least
there has been no unfavorable com
ment or criticism.
This paiMi' did not favor the adop
tion of that law. because thuro were
large appropriations being mado for
the support of Individual Institutions
maintained by different dunomlna
tlons.
TIih new law gives statu aid to the
amount of not over $B0 por child for
liny one year to any .orphanage, that
complies with certain requirements of
state control. As stated, tho law
mMiih to be a fair one.
ompared with the expenditures of
other states, the law also seems to he
n measure of economy, and th mini
Uur of children In oiphnungoa lias not
been unduly Increased thereby.
As the law gives this sum of $110 per
annum to each child maintained In an
orphnuage up to the age of 14, It
would be a wise provision to require
all Institutions caring for uomeleM
children to come under Its operalTrTn?
There are a number of Institutions
In the state caring for homeless and
Indigent children, and doing very Reed
work, that are receiving state aid In
the form of an appropriation thai
could much lietter be provided for un
der the general law.

OPPOSITE TAPTTAT
FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1903.
n.i similar works of charity, if thW
come properly within the provisions
of the ornjiange law, shoujd bo asked
to take the $IW per annum per child,
instead of being given a lump sum of
J5000 by the legislature bionnlally.
There should not be two forms of
aupiwrt given for ono nnd the same
purpose Make all thoso caring for
orphans come under the one general
law. should be the rule of the state.
It Is not understood that any of
the orphanages are asking for an in
crease of the ICO annual allowance.
As long as that law works as wvll ns
It has it would be wise to extend it
to all depondent child Institutions.
Any Institution that undertakes to
board, educate, clothe and give a home
to a homeless child Is a blessing to
the state. If it trains that child up
properly, at the maximum cost of 50
per annum.
The management of those institu
tions involves a great responsibility,
and the state should sco that only per
sons of tho highest character and tho
purest motives have tho control of
such unfortunates. .
A homoloss child appeals to all that
Is most sacred In our feelings, and the
state of Orogon will doubtless contin
ue to mako wise and adequate pro
vision for the waifs of society.
