aire member of the firm of Moore &
Smith. the San Francisco lumber dealers,
is owner. Smith would come to town on
business and before he had been around

he would start out with a crowd and buy
the town. His actions were heard Of IN

limited TO fifteen minutes on either side.
After speech by Reed regarding tho
speakers ruling yesterday. Reeds motion
TO amend the journal was voted down.
The vote on approving of the journal
showed quorum.
Reeds motion to adjourn was decided
out of order, and the speaker declined to
entertain an appeal and again refused to
state the ground Of his refusal, holding
that no member has right 10 inquire the
grounds of decision any more than a
lawyer has to demand the same OF a Judge.
THAT looks very much like tyanny." re-
marked Mr. Reed, sarcasticaIiv.
The next episode was the overruling of
Bouteiie's point of order that the presi-
dents message. vetoing the seigniorage
hisi could not be read. the house having
made the contested election cases the
special order. Again the speaker refused
TO entertain an appeal.
The veto message was then read. and
Bland gave notice that next Tuesday he
would move TO pass the bill over the veto.
During the roll call on Burrows motion

had declared Joy not entitled to his seat,
Reed, standing near the clerks desk, said
he would like to be permitted to see the
roll call taken. This was resented by tho

his seat and directed the sergeant-at-arms
TO enforce the order, as Reed did not move
far enough to suit.

Reed, looking the speaker in the eye

La GRASpE, Or. March 31--Clear. cool
weather last night checked the melting of
the snow. and the result is that the water.
which had been rising rapidly. reached its
highest limit about midnight and since
that time has been slowly subsiding. The
dam of the Grande Ronde Lumber Com
pany went out about 10 O'Clock last night,
but so much time had been given Tor pre-
paration that only about 10000 feet Of
logs were lost. Active work by large
force of men prevented a jam at the Oro
Dell bridge. and rs many OF the logs
fioated out over the inundated district and
lodged there no bridges were taken ont.
The loss of the Grande Ronde Lumber
Company is estimated at $4,000. The loss
IN the city and country surrounding will
reach MANY thousands of dollars.
