The bill creating Cascade county iva

The insurance code, bill Xo. 252, wa
pass'nl.
Thai was Hie work of the senate this
morning. House bill No. MS, was the
first reporter by the committee and
its report was n recommendation that
it do not pass. It looked like the re
port of the committee would be adopted
without debate which would have indef
initely postponed the bill, but such was
not to be.
Senator Orton, chairman of the com
mittee on counties, said in explanation
of Ihe report that the committee had
examined into Ihe merits of the bill, had
heard delegations from the proposed
county and from all sections of the old
county, and there was nothing shown to
justify the creation of the county- It
was a certainty that the report of the
committee would lie adopted, but Dim
ick was loaded and proceeded to air the
proposition and show up all its weak
nesses. He had a map of the proposed
county which showed the originators of
the idea wanted to be good to Mult
nomah county and had generously left
a strip 33 miles long and from four to
five miles wide between the proposed
county and Multnomah, believing the
latter' would like to have it. This left
good old Clackamas in the shape of a
carpenter's square.
Dimick showed the vote on the propo
sition and that but two precincts had
voted in favor of the division. He
showed lots of other things, so many in
fact, that the senators as well as the
audience got tired of the show. Dimick
however, was not tired, but fresh as a
daisy, and finally Orton suggested that
UK in iiho u lull that was the special
order for 10:30 lie would like the sen
ntor to make his remarks as brief as
possible. Tha president also urged brev
ity, but the 'floodgates of the Clacka

were open and the tide rushed out in
!. torrent. He evidently could liTive talk
ed all day but cut his speech short
: I ter alien! an hour. As soon as the
senators got a chance they adopted the
report of the committee and the hopes
of a county seat at Kstacada went glim
mering. The Insurance Code Passed,

Hungary Strongly Approves
German Submarine Policy
As Justified by Conditions
Amsterdam. Feb. 7. Hungary strong
ly approves Germany's unlimited sub
marine warfare. Count Stephen Tisza,
Count Apponyi and other leaders were
quoted in Budapest dispatches receiv
ed here today as strongly endorsing the
policy in speeches to the Hungarian
I arliainent.
The only opposition came from Count
Kaiolvi. who asserted that he could
not approve of unrestricted submarine
warfare because it was inimical to
world peace.
Tis.a 'a speech was t vigorous defense
of the Submarine plan "made neces
sary because our existence is threaten
ed and all means at our disposal arc
justified, ' '
' ' Especially is this true," he added.
"in view of the new British mine field
blockade.
"We still adhere to President Wil
son's proposal for a peace basis and
are Still prepared to negotiate."
Count Tisza charged entente subma
rine! with sinking Austrian cargo and
passenger ships without warning.
Count Apponyi expressed the hope
that the new submarine warfare would
accelerate peace. He Justified its oper
ation on tlie same ground as did the
Hungarian premier and added as an
additional motive the failure of Amer
ica to restrict Great Britain's encroach:
ments on international Taw.

Washington. Feb. 7.- The senate

and under certain specified restrictions
