This view may be right, since fraving a Rogue river fishing bill before it every session is enough to drive anybody to espouse bolshevism -or something worse. Portland will ask the state to subscribe $25,000 to ward building a pavilion for an International Livestock Association fair. Probably it is all right-but when did Portland ever subscribe one dollar for anything that was to be built or established outside of the city of Portland, no matter how worthy or how much of general interest the rnqyement behind it? The Clackamas county delegation is always in the center of the spot light during legislative sessions. If the people down there like men of the Pimick-Schuebel type, the rest of the state can stand it because they are not numerous enough to make very much trouble. If 'there had been no foreign immigration we never would have had an Ole Hanson, because he is of Scan dinavian descent. Neither would we have had any use for his particular talents. A man attempted to assassinale Premier Clemenceau today and escaped with his life. . RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason THE SHORN LAMB. My coal supply was getting low, I had no coin to pur . chase more; and then the cold winds ceased to blow from Greenland's well known icy shnre. Just when old win ters frigid game was bringing grief to many shacks, a lot of springlike weather came, the sun got down to car pet tacks. And so I said, "He is a clam who fears that goodness e'er will cease; the wind is tempered to the lamb that has been parted from its fleece." I've noticed, time and time again, how things come right when we'd exclaim, "This world is no resort for men; this life is but a bunko trme." Some months ago we all were sure the war would last another year, and some believed it might endure un til the finish of this sphere. And while we drooled in mart and court, and sprinkled gloom throughout the town, the Huns blew up with loud reportthe. pieces still are coming down. The darkest hour, as some one said, is just before the daybreak fair; and any man should soak his head who makes a business of despair. One thing worth remembering in this peace confer ence business is, that possibly quite possibly the statesmen assembled at Pans know what they are doing, They may even know more about it than the United States congress or the corner peace council gathered at the general store, or diplomats assembled in . the smoking room, or the oracles settling the fate of empires over the penny-ante game. The delegates at the conference are intelligent men, with large experience in public affairs. They represent the views of their own countries, and they have the im mense advantage of interchanging views with the repre sentatives of all the other countries. They are living and working near the actual scene of the war and in the very center of things. Every delegation is accompanied by experts qualified to advise it regarding any matter of WTar or economics or geography or history or anything else connected with the peace discussion. Every dele gation has immediate access to exhaustive information covering any point which may arise. It must be disheartening at times, to those peace dele gates, to read the airy, superficial pronouncements de livered by statesmen back home concerning big and com plex matters on which the delegates themselves, a hund red times as well informed, are slow to pronounce judgment. TO KEEP IfllTORY House Favors New Scheme For Coimtig Votes At Elec tion Time. Hunior mid fine understanding of human nature' scored a victory for Hep' resentutlve Cross thia morning when the vote came , up in tho Huuse ns tc whether tho Portland folks should steal about 15 squaro milca of Clackamas county and hitch it onto Multnomah eounty. " 1 A bill had boon introduced by the Multnomah delegation appropriating thnt part of Clackamna which included Oswego and vicinity. Naturally tho Cluckama county folks were emphatic ally against lotting g0 of such tax pro ducing territory. But tho troubles of Mr. Cross came from tho fuet that Representative ISchubel of Oregon City through his ac tivities m the House had antagonized a lot of members and Senator Diniick in the Senate had done tho same thing. And H was f cured that just to got even the Hull nomnh delegation and their friends would tnko a swat at tho two active legislators by voting 13 square miles of their territory into Multnomah county. However, Mr. Cross made a successful appeal for hnnds off and tho bill to do tho appropriating wus indefi nitely postponed, which means killing. There will be no sitting up at night anxiously waiting for election returns if the lull passed thia morning by th House becomes a law. It provides that the second board of election judges au clerks Mm 11 go on duty in the nioinii y and that within 30 minutes after the polls are opened shall begin counting votes. Pass Bridge Bill To look nftcr the affairs of tho Van eouver britlgo at Portland, the House pnssed a bill today providing for a Ool umbla Bivor Inter-State Bridgo Com mission. For Portland tho conimis sioncrs of the city along with the dis triet attorney are to act and for givimr somo time to the work, aro to each draw an extra $000 a year above their pros out salaries. Tho lime bill which has had hard sled ding was passed by the House. Instead of permitting the lime board to soil to dealers in Portland and in fart in an) state, the bill as amended, authorizes tht board to take action necessary for th manufacturing and selling of its agvi- APPROPRIATE KONEY FOR PRE1IUMS0N LITE STOCK The Pacific International Live Stock Exposition was given a boost by tho joint ways and means committeo lust evening when it appropriated $50,000 for premiums for the coming two jears. 0.

J. R. linn' hag agreed to serve as chairman of this county. The quota for Marion eountv is $0000 and those interested in live stock hope that ..the amount will b ruined before the Port land rnmpaign goes on.

As originally drawn, the big dealers could havo bought in car lots and sold to California or Washing ton Darties. - Members of the House are in favor of longer session's. As the- law now stands the regular- xcssion is 40 days. Tho resolution pasted; this morning pro vides for 00 day sessions and that mem. bers shall receuvo $5 a day instead of tho $3 as now provided (by law. How ever, this is not a bill and the people of tho state will have & chanco to vote on it at 'the 1920 general eloc'tion. Mr. Hare said that it was the present sys tom of legislation .that was in disre pute and not tho legislators. To Vote on Hospital Tho people of. "tho stato , will also have a chance to vpte at the noxt elec tion as to whether a stato institution may bo erected in Portland. In this in stance it is that of an industrial and reconstruction hospital to be built in Portland as a part of the medical de partment of the medical . department of tho medical college of the Univer sity of Oregon. . ' The war department . was memorial ized to lond its assistance to the state highway commiasion in getting a lot of iFord trucks used by thspruce di vision of the war department. These aro soon to be for sale and the House memorial asks that the trucks be sold to the state highway commission at a reasonable figure. An attempt to. make the term of county reorder four years instead of two was defeated. The bill providing that the governor shall appoint a legis lator in caso the office holder dies or from his district wn9 passed. The only method now is by special elec .tion. . Telephone Operators Want General Strike San Francisco, Feb. 19. Telephone rvnunitorn nn the Pacific const, it was learned from a reliable source today, have voted favoring a general smite. The vote represents 1(5,000 operators atid o-t locals. L. O. Glasser, international vice pros ident of the Brotherhood of Electric al Workers, has left for Springfield, 111., with tho vote. Ho refused to state the result of the vote before leaving. Attorneys for the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company indicated in a recent hearing before the railroad commission hero thnt if the new Cali fornia toll rotes hold as arranged by Burleson, the employes might expect more money. BTONETTE FOUND GTJILTT M J$ k $Q Reared Her Fasily WITH SIMPLE HOME REMEDY 4 As Anericrn lilc&cr Ee&ti Ikj AH ' There are few families in which tho record of Mrs. Gustave Koch, Box 21, Kewick, Keokuk County, Iowa, has been surpassed. Not in the fact that sii3 raised a family of eight is her story from such mothers as Mrs. Gustavo remarkable. Thousands of families! Koch. Long life to her! Perena It are larger. The history cf the Koch Indicated for coughs, cok'.s, catarrii family is unique In that the mother, cf the head, nose und throat, or .V.s- wnn au ner loving care, pinned her onler of tho stomach, bowels or n faith to a simple home remedy and never had a doctor for her children. Hero is what she says: "Peruna has dome ny children good. I have a family ef eight and. never had a doctor, only your medicine. We all think Peruna a splendid tonic." So far as we have learned, Pe runa is the only known remedy for which such a wonderful claim can be tnada. Like Mrs. Koch, there are thousands upon 'thousanda of mothers who place their entire de pendence upon Peruna. That Peruna has merited this confidence is attested by the wofds other organ3 due to catarrhal in flammation of the mucou3 linings. If you are sick and safiferins', write the Peruna Company, Dept. 8-80, Columbus, Ohio, for Dr. Hart man's Health Book. It is free and you may find that Peruna Is v.at you need. Dr. Hartman's World fa mous Peruna Tonic comes in either liquid or tablet form. Ask your dealer. If you are seeking health, do not accept "something just as good." Insist upon Peruna.

That manv men made auick fortunes in New York, I did not know.So it is not to be wondered at that I thought my Neil the most wonderful man be cause he could so quickly rise from comparative poverty to a position very nearly resembling affluence. I was a bit frightened, more than a little dis turbed, as woll a9 very happy. Frighten ed because of the way it appeared to affect Neil he could talk of nothing but hia success, what it would mean to us. Disturbed for fear I, a simple coun try girl, would not be able to hold my own with the pooplo with whom he said we would now mix. In Huntington one had been almost, if not quite, on a social par with all the rest save ouly for a few in the laboring class. Now he had not thought we lived handsomely enough to even know his bachelor friends until he had made all this money. Ho had long ago explained that a bachelor could live for very little bocauao of tho demand of hostesses for singlo men; that we could not hope to kocp up with them for the simple reason that our income would not allow us to entertain on tho scale to which they wore accustomed. "If wc can't do things right, Bab, we won't do them at all," ho had said rather impatiently whoa I romarked that we might do a little entertaining in a simplo way. Then when I expressed a fear of meeting any more of his grand friends, he had declared: "You are all right, Babt You can hold your own with any of them when you get the right sort of togs. It ia like every thing else. You play the part better when you arc dressed for it. When you met Lorraine Morton you were embar rassed becauso of her clothes, nonest now, weren't you?" "Of course I was. She was so stylish and I looked so ordinary." "Well, unless all signs fail, you can order all the clothes you want to in an other week. And Bab, go to the best. I'm sick of staying at home. Get your self togged out and we'll show the na tives ,& trick or two. " Among tho few women I had mot in the year we had been married, was a Mrs. Orton, a handsome, rather bold looking woman. She had mado a remark in my hearing which had called my at tention to her. She had said: "What I want, I get if not n ono way, in another. Don't youf You are foolish if you do not. There's always more than one way to manage." I had repeated her little speech to Neil, and he had replied: "Blanche ia right. It is easy to got what you want if you want it badly enough." "Blanche do you know her well J" "I have known her for a long timo, tw8 or three years. She's a peach, too! the kind of woman who would push a man on to success." "What kind of ft husband has shot" ' 'A, nincompoop he's a seml-tnyalid, eo ho claims." "Ho has lots of money hasn't he 1" "No. She has, though." "8omoway, I didn't like her vory well.' "That's t" had, because I do." "It makes me nervous to be with those women. They look ao smart, and they talk about things of which I know absolutely nothing." I did not add that I had been happier not to know thorn. It would have displeased Noil. It is said that it is in her own draw ing room that a woman is most certain of social sucess. That it is her battle field upon which sha prepares herself for victories. But with me it had proven almost a Gethsemane. Not that anyone was really aware of.it.; I had learned to cloak my foolings, But there was al ways the constant fear that I would do aomething to embarrass Neil perhaps that I was not gownod to please him. I was so in love with my husband that the thought of displeasing him seemed t0 me terrible, and often made me solf conscious. Neil had told mo when we were first married that t ho accrot of a woman 'a popularity lay in an unlimited ability to listen to what others were saying. I luvd tried to 'become a good listener, aa a consequence. But often when I heard women like Blanche Ortou chat and fling back gny repartee, I thought that it required something besides listening to he as popular as they were.
