priating $4,000 for construction and
equipment of fish hatcheries. Curtis
and Young pleading eloquently for
the appropriation, while Whitney,
representing the interest of the far
mers as opposed to the interests of the
fisherman, led the opposition. So
much feeling was aroused oyer the
discussion that call of the house was
demanded, and quarter OF an hour
was lost gathering in abseptees. The
bill finally passed by vote OF "a to 22,
four members being absent.
By direction of the ways and means
committee bill was introduced ap-
propriating $3.50 to ]. c. Moreland for
legal services, $732.23 to Sanborn,

In the senate the judiciary COM
mittee's report adverse to bill to add
two judges to the supreme court bench
was the special order for this morning
but a direct vote on the proposition
was avoided. Fulton presented as
substitute for, an adverse recommend
alton bill authorizing the supreme
court judges to appoint clerical as
sistance not, to exceed in cost $500
per year.
Mulkey opposed it on the ground
that clerical assistance for the sup
RENE court is already costing the state
and litigants nearly $4,000 and be-
cause he understood the court was
put behind by litigation of boom times
and might work out now without
further measures of relief.
Fulton argued that the court had
nothing to do with the compensation
or emoluments OF clerks, which had
nothing to do with this case. His sub
stitute was adopted and passed under
suspension of the rules, the final vote
being Is to 3.
The house resolution for an amend
ment to the constitution to permit the
governor to veto items in the appro-
priation bills and approve the remain
der was adopted after slight verbal
amendment.

1t Was Not Popular.

SALEM, Jan. 25.-McCo who yes.
terday introduced a bill in the house
to increase the salaries of the officers
of Marion county, today with drew the
bill. What his reason was for such
action is not known, but it is believed
that pressure was brought to bear up
on him by his constituents.
All of the county officials were
elected under pledges of economy, and
the reduction in salaries made at the
lato special session was agreed upon
during the campaign. While the
McCourt bill did not propose to re-,
store the salaries to their original
fures, it did propose to restore them
to almost the original amounts.

you ARE RIGHT.

There should be no ''open door" for
commission in Oregon. A republican
legislature in this state shorld kill all
the commission bills, aud If the people
have to bear burdens for want of com.
missions to regulate railroad rates and
public affairs, they will ask for the old
system--Baker City Republican.
Yes, the republican legislature
should kill the commission bills and
nearly all the commissions, for it was
republican legislature that saddlec
these useless appendages upon the
state. But is the present legislature
composed of such stuff as will stand up
before the hungry army of Office seek
ers, Republicans tried and true who
fought through the campaign last June
for the party" and say there shall be
no more new offices and commissions
created? 1t takes pretty firm man to
deny his party bed-fellows the privilege
of feeding at the public crib.
