For three wesks tbs proposed

snd then have it declsrsd sncon-
stitwtionsl bscssse Of the I'd joSrn-
meat Of the Silly SixtseHth beyond
The three day limit. This would
have happily rel'eved the re-
publican party Of the odiam of fail
ing to redeem thssr principal cam
pAign pledge. However, the news
p~pers exposed the scheme ~
thoroughly that it was abandoned
aud orders have been issued that
either no bill at oil shall pass or one

To this end ths repsblican ma-
josity Il sks seasse brosght
in bill which wss NO spinesess -
10 he lsuehsble. II had no rate
making clanse, no provision for el-
ection Of the CONAN issioners, no pro-
vision for funds 10 sasbIe them TO
accomplish work and a demurrage
section provided for only 81 day
per car 10 bs collected from rail
roads no matter what the sctusl dam
ages might be to shippers from de-
laysd trAins. To this bill they ag-
reed TO allow no changes. For a
week in committee Of the whole the
democratic minority offered amend
ment after amendment, most Of them
from the so-called Roosevelt Till
man national rate bill. The de-
fects were cles rly pointed oat but
the republicans sst like bumps on
log with sickly grins on their faces
and not daring 70 defend a single
provision Time and again Senator
Sapp and othsrs told them, I'VE
will vote for the bill if you will al
low an amendment of three words
giving the rate making power"
At last Senator Mccarthy of Pueblo,
who originally introduced q sery
good railway bill was induced to
break away. Following him came
Senator Alexander. Then came
four of the corporation senators who
had evidently been given instruc-
tions and instead of passing the bill
on third reading it was returned to
the committee of the whole Evil
IDENTIFY it WAS the purpose of the four
railroad senators to Kill the bill here
but by combination withthose republi-
cans who really want good bill,
the democrats now hope 10 secure
amendments that will make an effec-
tive Law.
In the house the same caucus bill
WAS jAmmed through three readings
without an opportunity for debate.
Each representative was given five
minutes to speak during committee
Of the whole session and two min
utes on final passage. Think of
highly intricate and important bill
be rushed through like this because
. disreputable majority dare not dis
cu.s it. Representative Lehrritter
made his FIVE minutes effective bv
presenting the resolution Of the
Gunnison County Stock Growers de.
mandinG an effective bill. In the
senate at one time there was an at
tempt to expung~ from the minutes
all record Of democratic amendments
proposed or of the votes cast. Only
the good senee and courage of Leu
tenant Governor Harper prevented
the outrage.

CoIored supplement Appreclated.

The East Oregonian is the only pa
per in oregon outside of Portland,
which furnishes a comic colored sup
plement to it's readers and that this
feature is fully appreciated is shown
by the demand for the supplements.
On Saturday evening several papers
we're delivered by mistake without the
supplement and within few mo-
ments after receiving their East Ore
gonian minus the supplement, several
irate boys were at the office asking
for the supplement. Aside from car
rying a clean, elevating line of humor
the comic supplement furnished by
the East Oregonian every saturday.
also carries a section of household
hints and fashions which forms a val
liable addition to the paper.

IDuNhNN 2hIC u
Go After Wmslow Cup.
Interest in the series of basketball
games TO be played in the gymnasium
for the Winslow cup, to be given the
championship team, is now growing
warm and all of the teams are get
ting into shape for the games,
Thus far four different teams have
signified their intention of entering
the league and it is possible that a
fifth, the Pendleton academy, may
go into the game. A meeting of the
executive committee will be held
shortly to arrange the series and de-
eide upon other matters pertaining
to the same.
The high school team is managed
this year by James Johns, while viii
Penland Is captain. The team al
ready has a number of games en-
gagged with outside rivals.
Company L also has a team which
will be in the running for the trophy

the team and Percy Folsom was yes
terday chosen as captain of the
team. The first practice was held
yesterday.
At the business college there is a
team in which four of the players
are over six feet in height, thus max
ing a formidable lineup. Ralph
Porter is the team manager, but no
selection Of a captain has yet been
made.
The Commercial association itself
Will also have a good team, selected
from the various classes, and Roy
Alexander has been named as man.
ager for the team.
