In their present financial condition II
would be positive outrage upon the
Taxpayers Of the state to call an extra
session of the legislature to elect a
United states senator and 1t is ex-
tremely unlikely that public sentiment
viii permit 1t to be done. 1t should
be remembered that in the case OF both
Montana and Wyoming the senate has
set the precedent Of refusing admission
to an appointee Of the governor where
the vacancy is occasloned by u failure
of the legislature to elect. Upon the
heads, therefore, of the caucus boilers
at Salem may rest the responsibility o.
Oregon's lack Of full representation at
Washington for at least two sessions Of
congress- to say nothing of the possible
consequences to national legislation
through the absence Of an additional
Republican vote in the senate.

1t is suggested by an Eastern ex-

quite free from any itching to cut a

the statement Of Sir John jenkins, Of

The building committee of the American

Those prese Mt were Bishop Hurst, Rev. DR..

John B. Herrell. Andrew B. Duvall and

meeting was for the purpose of making
selection of the location of the hall of

After much discussion it was finally
decided to locate the hall of history as
suggested in the plans submitted by Mr..
Olmstead sometime ago. This will place
the hall little to the right of the admins

In addition to selecting the location for

city for consultation with Mr.. Poindexter.
when it is expected that the final plans
will be completed. The plans submitted
by Nessrs. Van Brunt aud Howe are of
classic Greek style.
The question of the material to be used
in the construction and the height of the
buildings were also decided on. The build
ing will be two and One-half stories high.
The first or half story. will be constructed
of granite. and the two upper stories of
marble. The cost of the hall of history is
estimated at about 81 10000.
Although no decision could be reached by
the trustees in reference to the "cluster"
arrangements of either Olmstead or Flagg.
it is expected that Since the location of one
of the group has been agreed on that there
will be no difficulty or delay in the selection
of the sites for the other buildings.

TRY AGAINF0R DOLLAR GAS
Mr.. Evan Tucker Has a Bill to Sub
NIT to the Commissioners.
1t VIII Probably Embody Ma Jor Pow
ellis Views on the Subject of
Cheaper ana Better Light.

The statement In The Morning Times
yesterday that the Commits sioners are
about ready TO take up the question of q
reduction in the price of gas. brought
President Evan Tucker. of the Northeast
Citizens Association, to see Ma ior Powell.
He was very active In the agitation last
year.
A rough draft of a bill is ready to be
placed before the mmissioners. 1t
provides for good gas at 81 per thousand.
and will probably embody most of Major
Powells views Id regard to cheap gas
when It is sent to the Capitol.
The failure OF the effort last year to
secure the passage of bill fixing the
price OF gas at 81 was brought about
In the Senate District Committee. The
gas company officials stated positively
that they could not make gas for as little
money as 81 per thousand feet and Senator
Faulkner and others replied to every argu-
ment in favor of the passage of the bill by
asking for proof that the statements OF the
officials were Incorrect.
The facts presented To show that they
were wrong consisted mainly OF two
classes-first, that gas is made at Phila-
sold at profit for 81 cents, 10 cents and
81; second, that the Washington Gas Com
pany has distributed dividends at an aver
age of more than 10 per cent a year, and
at the same time Increased the value of
its plant. according TO its own estimate, by
1850 900:
Mr.. Tucker at that time attempted, with
a letter of Introduction and a request from
Senator Faulkner, to see the company's
books and determine exactly what profits
the company had paid, but the privilege
was denied him.
Major Powell. in the investigation by the
House conlmittee. asked that a candle
power test be substituted for the require
ment that the city lights burn six feet an
hour. The reason was that it is very diff
cult to determine when burner is con-
suming given amount of gas per second.
Another change asked by him was that
the appropriation be made In lump sum
for lighting the city. instead of being spe-
officially divided, part for gas and part
for electric lights. His reason was that
this would put the two companies. each
now having monopoly In its own field,
into competition with each other.
Major Powell said unequivocally he
thought the city ought to buy and use all
the electric conduits now In its streets.

Consideration of street extension case
No. 453, involving the property in 1ngleside
subdivision, was resumed in District court
Yesterday, Justice Cox presiding.
Testimony was adduced by the govern
ment counsel to show the present values OF
lots in the subdivision. and also as to the
extent of the depreciation or enhance
ment, if any, of property remaining after
the required portion is taken for streets,
and also to determine what, If any, effect
the abandonment of streets will have upon
lots deprived of frontage.
Mr.. Joseph B. Winner and others were
called to give estimates of the market
values. Mr.. Winners figures ranged from
10 cents to 81 per foot, the majority OF
his quotations being between 80 cents and
60 cents per foot
The witness could give no opinion of the
effect that would be produced upon certain
