State Printing.

On motion Of Mr. Sewall of Bath bill.
an act to abolish the Office of State
printer. was taken from the table.
Mr.. SE.WALL: Mr.. Speaker. I move
that the House concur with the Senate
i'll lis reference OF this bill to the COM
mttee on legal affairs.
Mr.. SMITH Of Madison: Mr.. Speaker,
7 move an amendment to the motion
hy substituting the committee on State
printing for the committee on legal af-
fairs. I move this amendment because
think this should properly go to the
committee on State printing The COM
Glttee on state printing. and the re-
suit Of their work will show whether or
not it is best to abolish the Office 81
State printer. The Legislature especial-
" agreed that this committee should
investigate this matter. and it would
interfere seriously with our work. I
think, if our work was divided. l do
not know Of any special reason why
this should be referred to the commit
tee On legal affairs, unless it is desired
tc have it referred TO a legal commit
tee: but | can say as A member Of the
comTittec, that ] have the honor of
sentative lawyers of this Legislature.
AID | think that any legal questions
that arise can be properly attended to
by that committee. I hope, therefore.
that the House will vote to have this
bill referred to the committee especial
iy creaed to consider these matters
Mr.. REED Of Portland; Mr.. Speaker,
I have no desire as n member of the
committee on legal affairs to get any
business that docs not belong to us. We
have enough on hand to keep US rca-
sonably busy, and personally have no
desire to investigate this particular
matter, but ! know there is a feeling
on the part of many members of cur
committee ami others that this mat
the Senate. and that we should concur
with them ana should not make a DIFF
ferent disposition of it.
| have before me the order creating
the committee on stat" printing, which
think perhaps is rot understood by
all the members of me House, and |
will read it:
"Ordered. the House cCEcurring, that
a joint select committee of three on the
rart of the Senate. with such as the
House may join. be appointed to con-

Can Be Found any Day.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 20.-A
special to the Oregonian from Salem
says information has been secured as
to the whereabouts of s. A. D. Puter
and Horace Mckinley, who are under
conviction of having conspired to de-
fraud the United States in public land
sales. Land Commissioner West as
serts that Puter and Mckinley are still
in the country and their arrest can be
secured at any time.
Difficulty may be encountered. it is
stated, in getting some of the swindled
persons to begin prosecutions of the
gang of school land operators who sold
them fraudulent certificates. Sever
al of the holders of forged certificates
are also holders of genuine certificates
obtained upon applications which the
grand jury has found to be fraudulent.
1t is thought the members Of the ring
who sold the fraudulent certificates
will hold as a club over their victims
who have genuine certificates of this
kind the threat to tell what they know
about the false applications on which
genuine certificates were issued.
