The committee having the Jayne To-
cal option .bill in hand Is still wrest-
ling with the measure and does not ex-

1t appears probable that the bill ap-
propriating 100000 for a new deaf
mute school building, passed by the
house this afternoon, will go through
the senate, as many in that body
favor it.
According to joint resolution the leg
islature will adjourn Friday without

passed the senate today with Just one
vote 10 spare.
The house voted down an appropria-
tion with which to buy the governor
q mansion.
Both houses held night sessions to-
night and the consideration OF bills In
the house In which they originated.
During the four days remaining each
house will devote ita exclusive atten-
tion TO bills originating In the other
house. II IL believed that by holding
one or two evening sessions, ali the
work can be disposed. There are now
on the house calendar about 10 senate
bills and on the senate calendar about
100 house bills.
The Jayne local option bill has been
read In the senate the second time.

authorizing the attorney genera: 20
assess property which has escaped
assessment in the past and TO bring
suits TO collect the taxes due upon
such assessments passed the house to-
day.
The house committee on salaries and
mileage reported this morning. Smith,
of Josephine, protested against some OF
the items, but failed to get any support.
Supporters OF the normal schools are
endeavoring 10 have the cut made in
the appropriation by the house restored
by the senate when the bill comes up
in that body tomorrow. Governor
Chamberlain has also declared himself
in favor OF consolidation OF the schools
and threatens TO veto the measure when
II comes to him. The appropriation for
the normal schools is coupled with
those for the asylum, penitentiary, re-
form school, deaf mute shcool, blind
school, state university and agricnl-
tural college, 30 1t would be necessary
to veto all in order TO reach the normal
appropriation.
The ways and means committee OF
the house introduced bill in the house
today appropriating 10000 for new
buildings for the deaf mute school.
Four other appropriation bills were in-
troduced by the committee carrying
total of $ll3,542.l3.
The senate committee will not at
tempt to please either side in regard to
the Jayne local option bill. The bill
will be reported without recommends
tion.
Several votes are lacking OF enough
to pass the Cascade county bill. Many
sorts OF influences are being brought to
bear TO secure the necessary number.

DY THE BEST MADE.

''fn my opinion Chsmberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best made for colds, /"
says Mrs. Cora Walker of Porterville,
California. There il no doubt about
it's being the best. No other will cure
a cold so quickly. No other is so sure
a preventive of pneumonia. No other
is so pleasant and S sfe to take. These
are good reasons why it should be pre-
ferred to any other The fact is that
few people are satisfied with any other
after having once usrd this remedy.
