Asks the View
OF Legislators
Governors Letter Concerning
Special Session Received by
Representative Hahn.

Representative Hahn yesterday re-
ceived Governor Chamberlatn's circular
letter with reference TO the proposed
extra session OF the legislature, The
governor invites an expression OF opin-
ion from Mr.. Hahn, He says that he
has been assured that an emergency
exists in Oregon because OF the su-
preme court decision affecting the tax
law. and has been given to understand
that counties, cities and school districts
throughout the state will be seriously
Inconvenience In consequence. How
ever. II wants 1t distinctly understood
that no other matters shall be brought
before the legislature for action. and
failure on the part OF legislators TO
promise him this will prompt him to
decline to conyene the body In extra
session.

informed that other measures OF far
reaching effect are In the course OF prep
aration for presentation at the propos-
ed special session. Mr., Hahn enter

Expense Borne
Not By City
Defer Improvement So That the
Work May Be Hurried
Through With.

In referring to .he Budgets editorial
OF yesterday, touching upon the pro,
posed Improvement OF Franklin avenu,
W. II. Barker, a leading resident and
property owner OF that section. says
that 1t Is much In errer; that the ex.
pense OF building the street was borne
not by the city. but by the interested
property holders; and that the only
reason for desiring that the work be
deferred is that It may be hurried
through when II is begun.
Ten years ago last September" said
Mr.. Barker, the work OF building the
street was begun and Il was not COM
pleted until spring. In the meantime
the street was we'll nigh impossible,
The same condition confronts us now,
only they are worse, There are six
houses that will have to be moved 20
feet back. and legal preliminaries must
be gone through with. before the work
can even be started. which will be six
weeks. Then the street will be torn
mp and will remain in wretched con-
dition during the winter, making II
impossible for $50 school children that
use the thoroughfare. We want moth
ing to occur that will hinder the opera
tion OF the mill, but are anxious for
conditions that viii promote the inter-
ests of the business and an impossible
street is certainly not one OF them.
Let the avenue be improved. but let the
be begun at the time Of
year when 1t can be completed to the
best interests Of all concerned"

one of the most brilliant of the sea-

The wedding of Miss Cockrell and
Mr.. Gallaudet eliminates a pretty
little romance. The romance dates
from the christening of the battle
ship Missouri at Newport News, in
December, 1901. Miss Cockrell was
the sponsor for the warship, and Mr..
Gallaudet attended the launch as the
representatives of his employers, the
Cramp Shipbuilding company, and
also as Miss Cockrell's guest.
The bride has enjoyed the reputa-
ton of being one of the greatest
bellies of the national capital. She is
a tall and handsome blonde and has
been at the head of her fathers home
for the past eight years.
