Advices from Salem, coming from
observant and deeply interested ana
competent observers, indicate that
the passage of the Cole irrigation Dill
is reasonably assured, though not by
any means certain. The joint house
and senate committee meeting OF last
Tuesday night was an auspicious
event, as the arguments pro and con
were brought out In detail, and haro-
ly ,fnaany degree to the disadvantage
of the measure.
Hon. T. G. HALEY made mastery
plea for the bill, supporting 1t with
a splendid marshaling of statistics
facts drawn from the experience OF
other states, and a profound knowl-
edge of the legal conditions. Oppos-
ed to him before the committee were
representatives of the various inter-
.ests, financially and prejudicial, who
are fighting the bill. They were led
nv Judge Webster Of Portland, ana
an attorney named Hammond, from
the southwestern pprt of the state
The latter has the credit of being
the salaried attorney OF the intrench-
ed financial interests which hre dl-
rectly and on a large scale interest
ed in the defeat of all legislat'oh
tending to give the federal govern
,ment any direct responsibilities In the
nremises. These interests represent
extensive holdings of water rights
which, II the law passes VIII at once
become subject to adjudication whlch
can hardly have any other conclu-
sion than an equitable adjustment OF
their own interests with those OF the
government and the homeseekers'
These interests are hanging onto tneir
water rights, not as legitimate invest
ments, but as purely speculative un-
dertakings. depending upon the more
or less rapid settlement OF the couh-
try and the obtuseness or worse OF
the legislature, to be enormously
,profited by the disposal of water that
should "by rights" be distributed
under and through legislation by anu
for the people.
1t is hoped to incorporate IN tne
'bul an appropriation of $4,000 to be
,expended in surveys and stream
measurements. II this appropriation
is made the general government VIII.
add to it an equal amount which WIZ
make a total of 100000 available our
ing the next two years to be-u In
this very. essential adjunct OF the rec
lamation work. For this purpose
california two years ago appropriated
100000 and a vigorous effort is be-
ing made for the present California
legislature to appropriate $4,000 the
great benefits of the appropriation o'
two years ago being now very evident

County Attorneys

Repnesentative Mayger's bill TO
create the office of county attorney
in lieu of the district attorneys, was
defeated yesterday morning. An at
tempt last week to shelve this Dill
when 1t was up for final passage
failed as the measure had strong
host of supporters. Several times 1t
was brought up for consideration
but II was always re-referred to an
other committee. The supporters OF
the bill at last wore themselves out
and allowed it to be postponed In
definitely yesterday without so much
as a protest The Multnomah dele

they had taken.

Bird Courtsh o.

Bird courtship, then. is net a
process of selecting on the part of the
females, but it a process OF arousing
the mating instinct in the females on
the part of the males. ! doubt If there
are any conscious preferences Oh
either side.
If the female refuses the male, 1t Is
not because he does not fill her eye or
arouse her admiration, but because
the mating instinct is not yet ripe,
In other words, the female does not
accept the male because she admires
him, but because she is ready to mate.
| have heard of two albino robins that
mated, showing, II this be true, that
abnormal coloring did not stand in the
way. Darwin quotes from an OBJ.
server in south Africa who says that
the female widow.bird disowns the
male when he is robbed Of the long

his breeding instincts below the nor
