SALEM, Or, Feb. %. Both the SEN
ate and house met today and as there
was not quorum in either house an ad-
tournament till tomorrow was taken.
The organization of the legislature de-
ponds wholly upon the possibility of 40
members of the house comming in and
taking their seats. There are now in
regular attendance only 30 members.
Governor Lord has indicated that he
will not call special session and it is
the hope of those present that the de-
mand for legislation and need of the
election of a United States senator will
force members to come in.
If the house can muster a quorum
there will be no difficulty in securing
one in the senate. In view of the bitter
feeling that exists between the diff
ferent fractions, the hope that there
will be an organization is very slender
one.

WASHINGTON April 1.-THE following
report Of the situation at Moorhead Mimi
was sent by Maj. Sauna just before leaving
for Grand Forks
'Moorhead, Mimi, April 11.-Adiutant Gen
eral. Washington: Had a conference with the
relief committee at which George N Lamphere
presided, the mayor and city attorney being
present. Seventy-fve families, consisting OF
325 souls have been flooded out and are be-
ing cared for by the committee. These are
mostly owners and occupiers of small dwell
ings in the flooded district, and are now quar-
tered IN public buildings or among friends
Fifty houses have 1oated off some distance
and 25 more are watersoaked TO the roof The
committee estimates it will cost 500 600 to re-
place and repair the damages before the
houses can be made habitable, and will prefer
that the governments assistance should be
in this direction, provided the appropriation
will admit Of it With the exception Of some
fifteen mechanics, all the people flooded out
are common laborers, and II Is my under
standing the government relief contemplates
the issue of rations. To this end l recon-
ment Z. 500 ratons as being sufficient to carry
them through the next thirty days Rations
can be purchased here as reasonably as else
where, and l am satisfied that George NJ
Lamphere would be a proper person to take
charge Of the matter. The river is falling
and no further trouble is expected here"

The Hennepin county grand jury put
IN some rapid work yesterday. In the
morning a report was made to Judge
Simpson, when twelve indictments
were handed in, and given to the clerk
to make copies, before the arraign-
ments are made this morning
The jury went right at work again
with the witness room well filled with
waiting people, but by 4:30 o'clock the
whole had been examined and no work
was on hand. The jury took a short
session without its county attorney, for
the purpose of discussing cases examin-
ed into, and then adjourned until this
morning. There are several more cases
to examine, however, before the Jury
determines whether or not it will in
Hestigate any municipal affairs. 1t Is
limited that at this sitting no such ac-
tien will be taken.
II Is stated that some of the people
who lost in the recent bank failures
are taking action for the purpose Of
bringing the matter before the grand
jury. County Attorney Peterson has
stated repeatedly that he will not en-
cumber the county nor create expense
by making examinations of books and
accounts himself but does say that If
any interested parties bring him figures
and facts, he will lay the whole before
the grand jury in the best shape pos
