Good Side Stepping

A few moments before .
O'Clock Friday afternoon, n small
boy did some side-stepping at the
Bank Exchange Saloon corner,
that would have done credit to
most any old acrobat. The boy
was absent-mlndedIy crossing the
street from the Schwartz corner,
when some one yelled to Kemp,
of Smith & Kemp's Transfer Line,
who, turning his two horses sud-
denly, urconsclously almost ran
down the boy, who, quicker than
it takes to relate it, side-stepped
better than Il Spanish bull
fighter, and the hack passed on.
The passersby applauded and
that was all.

PRICE SUITS THEM
WISCONSIN MEN MAY INVEST
IN FARM LANDS.
Pleased With Land Conditions Hero
Where Farms are held at
High Value.

William McKinzie and III. A. Dowd,
recent arrivals on the Pacific slope from
Wisconsin, were in Athena this week
seeking investments, in farm land.
The gentlemen have travelled extern
sively through the Northwest, and ex-
pressed themselves as being more pleas
ed Rwith farming conditions here than
any where they had been. The high
price of land and the fact that few farms
IN this locality were offered for sale, ap.
pealed to them as being the section they
desired to locate in. A farm at $50 per
acre was the lowest price offered them,
while in one or more instances 800 per
acre was the price asked. Apparently
the price did not scare them.
Mr.. McKinzie desires to purchase a
half section of land and Mr.. Dowd will
purchase farm of 100 acres. The gen.
tlemen left yesterday morning for
Seattle, where they are temporarily To-
Gated, with the intention of returning
soon to Athena, for the purpose of fur
ther investigation.

TO TEST LIQUOR LAW.

Freewater Saloon Men to Appear in
Circuit Court.
A test case of the local option law is
to be made by Taylor & Ireland, Free
water saloon men, says the East Ore
gonian. Freewater was declared "dry"
as result of the vote on prohibition at
the November election and all saloons
in that precinct were supposed to have
closed their doors before January l.
But it is alleged that Taylor & Ireland
kept open and sold liquor after the first
OF the year and the district attorney has
filed complaint against them.
1t is understood the defendants in the
action, backed by other saloon men in
the county, are anxious for the case to
come to trial in order to base an action
whereby the constitutionality of the
local option law may be determ ined.
A similar case is now pending in Wasco
county.
George Ireland was arraigned in the
state circuit court on charge OF con-
Quoting saloon at Freewater after his
license had expired, and entered plea
of not guilty.

is UNDER A CLOUD
SENATOR MITCHELL APPEARS
IN THE SENATE.
Makes a Speech Full OF Dramatic
Fervor, Declaring There Is No
Evidence to Support Charges

A Washington dispatch says the un-
usual spectacle of United States sena-
tor explaining on the floor Of the cham
Der charges made against himself ~ a
court of law in his own state was wit
messed in the senate when Senator
Mitchell, of Oregon, spoke of the in
dictment recently returned against him
by an Oregon grand jury. The senator
has not previously appeared in the SEN
ate since the indictment was returned
and was received by his fellow senators
with many evidences of good will. He
was much affected, his emotion at times
being such that he read his statement
with great difficulty.
At the outset the senator declared
that the charges made against him, if
true, untitled him to occupy seat in
the senate. He then detailed the charg-
es and said
II assert in the most positive and un-
qualified manner that each and every
one of those charges, in so far as they
relate to or involve me, are absolutely,
unqualiiedly and atrociously false and
here and now Indignantly and definitely
denounce their authors, each and every
one of them, and brand them publicly
as malicious and atrocious liars"
Mitchell attacked Francis j. Heney,
the attorney for the government in the
prosecution Of the land frauds, accusing
him of unprofessional conduct. He
charges that Heney had offered elem
ency to Puter, Emma L. Watson and
others if they would make statements
involving himself (MitchelD and Con-
gresham Hermann and others.
More than half the senators who
greeted Senator Mitchell today urged
him to remain in the senate and con-
tinue to participate in its proceedings.
He, however, will not follow this advice,
but will remain away as long as the in
dictment is pending.

SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Governor Protests Against Nu1lifying
the Referendum.

Governor Protests Against Nu1lifying
the Referendum.
The governor has sent message call
ing attention to the too frequent inser-
ton of the emergency clause, thereby
exempting the bill from referendum.
He said he would veto all bills to which
the cause is s.unwarrantably attached.
The republican senators regard this as
threat, and in caucus have agreed to
vote as unit to override any veto based
on this reason.
Thirty-one clerks are recommended
by the joint committee of the senate and
house to serve on the committees of in
vestlgation of the state institutions.
A hot fight is expected over the
amendments to the local option law
proposed by the liquor interests. They
propose purely precinct option law
with 40 per cent of the registered voters
necessary to call an election. In in
corporated cities and towns only the
residence precincts will be subject to
the operation of the law.

LOCAL OPTION UP
PROPOSED AMENDMENT BEFORE
OREGON LEGISLATURE.
Gambling Law introduced = State
Measure of Two Years Ago Has
Been Resurrected.

Representative James of Wasco has
introduced the long expected bill amend
ing the local option law. Many i'm
portant amendments are offered, the
chief being a provision that an election
on the prohibition issue may be called
in any precinct only on petition Of 40
per cent of the registered voters 1t al
so provides that the law shall not be
applicable to precincts in Incorporated
towns except residence precincts and
shall not apply to the sale of liqucr by
wholesalers. Under the provision of
the bill 10 per cent of the voters in any
county which adopted prohibition last
November may demand the resubmis-
sion question in June, 1906. Emergency
is declared so as to prevent the sub
mission of the bill to popular vote under
referendum. The bill eliminates county
prohibition and provides only for pre-
cinct prohibition.
GamDllng Law introduced
The antigambling bill, introduced at
the special session year ago and mis-
teriously stolen, after it had passed the
house, has again made its appearance,
and it is expected that the gambling in
terests will make vigorous fight to
prevent its passage. The new bill was
introduced in the house by Gray of
Douglas.
The precautions adopted by both the
senate and house made it reasonably
certain that a bill cannot be stolen
while being carried from one chamber
to another. The fight must therefore
be IN the open, and unless the bill be
buried in committee it is likely to pass.
