The Oregon Railway and Navigation

the steamer fare between this City and
Portland, reducing it from $6 ca bin and

The Southern Pacific made no move to
meet the cut. In fact, its officials claimed
that they were satisfied with the relative
difference in schedule rates and would
rest on their arms The Southern Pacific
rate is $40 and $5.
The railroad may change its mind early
this week and do some further cutting.

way the whim strikes. If the steamer
proposition blossoms out big and lots of
people go by the boats and seem to fight

the boats some more and do some cutting.
Otherwise. otherwise.
The rates by both lines are as low now
as they have ever been. In fact they are
Unprecedented, and there is nothing to
compare tn EN- with except the long fight
that ragged two years ago from November

House could be made a more compact

mem bers could not write during the ses-

sit ON e bench and listen it would be
harder than ever to get together quorum

Reed's remedy for that would be to
amend the provision of the constitution
which makes majority of the House q

some arbitrary mum ber-fifty or one hun

however, would not be easy to bring

Plan to Remodel Seats in the House.
Speaker Reed is an advocate of the plan
of rem cling the hall of Representa- ives

brought much closer together and grouped
in much less space. The plan, which is
discussed from time to time whenever
something draws atte ntion TO the clumsi-

is to clear out the members desks and to
seat the mem bers on benches as members
of the English Parliament areIsscated.

.This decrease IN births is general
throughout France, especially in the
northern parts and in Brittany. 1t has
been explained as a consequence of civili-
zation; but if this were so it should be
necessary to accept France as the only
civilized nation Of the world, for she is the
sole great European country where births
diminish with such implacable regularity,

liquor without a license. Treanor went
