SALEM, Ore. Jan. 15.-Governor
Chamberlain's message was read be-
fore the legislature this afternoon.
Wants Railway Commission.

Governor Chamberlain with great
emphasis urges the enactment Of
law creating a state railway commits
sion. clothed with ample powers
In states where the right Of regula-
ton is not asserted by the state. the
governor says, the railroad company
and the public stand measurably in
the relation of members of great part
nership with the managers Of the
company debating it's policy and estab-
fishing it's rates. not only without con-
sulting the public, but frequently in
such way as to injuriously affect
their most vital interests. No state
has been so liberal as Oregon In its
policy towards railroads and 1t is
through illiberal policy of our law
makers If rich sections of the state
have been left neglected by the one
great railway system which practical
iy controls its whole traffic"
Liberal Railroad cranta.
The federal government has grant
ed teh railways within the jurisdiction
OF the state lands in amount not only
sufflcient to build the lines now in
operation, but to extend them across
and through the central. eastern and
southeaste portions Of the state.
Also vast forest reserves have been
created. in which have been included
worthless lava beds and deforested
lands of railway companies and IN ex-
change for these. the companies have
been allowed to select hundred OF
thousands of acres of the most valua-
BILE timber lands in the state. thus IN
creasing by millions the value of their
original grants.
Continuing. Governor Chamberlain
says:
Railrods Grow Arrogant.
.sThe demands Of the people for rail-
way extensions have been unheeded
by the powers that be and they have
been publicly informed that when any

BOISE. Idaho Jan. 15.-If there
were any persons in the state who
cherished the belief that William e.
Borah, the attorney of this city, would
not be. elected United States senator
to succeed Senator Fred T. Dubois.
whose term expires ON March 4, they
are doomed to disappointment, for in
both the house and senate this morn
ing the vote taken on the senatorship
shows that the republicans, who have
the necessary votes to elect will to-
morrow noon stand by the rule of the
caucus and cast their votes for Mr..
Borah.
The vote in the house this morning
was as follows:
Mr.. Borah, 50; Senator Dubois. 12;
Stanley absent and not voting.
The vote in the senate this morning
was as follows:
Mr.. Borah. Is; Senate. Dubois; s.
Total vote: Mr.. Borah, So; sena-
tor Dubois. IS.

Cavanah Of Boise placed in nominal
ton Mr.. Borah. Freebooter performed
the same ceremony for Senator Du-
bois.
Anticipating the vote this morning
on the senatorship, there was a large
audience in attendance upon the pro-
ceedings. and much enthusiasm was
manifested.
The house and senate will hold a
joint session tomorrow noon, when the
vote of today will be canvassed, and
Mr. Borah by the provisions of the
law, will be actually elected United
States senator for the next six years,
dating from March a.
Elaborate preparations are being
made for a reception at the Idanha
hotel tomorrow night for Mr.. Borah.
Routine Of Law Makers.
There was little or nothing done in
either branch Of the legislature this
morning aside from receiving few
bills and taking the senatorial vote.
After the latter had been accomplish

The governor calls attention TO the
feet teat man of the states prisoners
ar. l-eat in idleness, and asks that the
present laws be altered so as to per-
nit their being used to construct high
ways in sparseN settled districts. He
also urges legislation to prevent the
state to compete with goods made in
Washington by free labor.
Washington should join Oregon, he
believes. in opening up the Columbia
river, the natural outlet of eastern
Washington in order that that por-
tion of he state may be afforded
cheap means OF TRANSFORMATION for it's
products.
He says the money derived by the
state from tide lands should be de-
voted TO the Improvement of harbors
instead Of the ordinary expenses of
government.
Create Congressional Districts.
He recommends a law dividing the
state into congressional districts;
direct primary law, and law regu-
lating the length of hours OF service
of operatives in the transportation
service A most important subject, he
says. is the proposal to extend aid to
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition.
This project. the governor declares,
is one that deserves the support of
every citizen of the Northwest. and
he predicts that for every do;'ar in
vested in the enterprise the sta.' will
receive return in muhilied fold.
He recommends that during the
coming three years special tax for
the purpose be levied.

The producer cannot get his product

commission with ample powers and
he urgently recommends the passage
OF the necessary laws.

Says Railroads Are DereIict.


Governor Mead says that one of the
most vital questions which confronts
manufacturers and shippers OF WASH
ington is the failure OF common car
riers TO perform the functions for
which they were created.
The governor attributes this failure
to lack of rolling stock, motive power
and transportation facilities, particu-
larly terminals, sidings and additional
tracks. The railroads declare car
manufacturers are unable to fill their
orders and high wages renders 1t i'm
possible to secure labor to construct
additional trackage.
+ The shippers, on the other hand.
particularly those engaged in the ship
ment Of lumber and wheat. contend
that these conditions have existed for
ten years and that the railroads are
at fault for having constantly failed

at Liverpool. May wheat opened a shade
to A@3sc higher at 7615c to 76szc and for

ceipts of 429 cars.
Wheat was in good demand all day. The

CORN-The corn market was firm be-
cause of local receipts which were lower
than previous estimates and unfavorable
weather for the crop movements. Shorts

to Ac higher at 47c TO 471sc, sold at 1850
471zc and then declined to 47c.
Prices eased off in the last half of the
session, May declining to 1870. Later the

with May lAc higher at 47c.

ing in the May option was very light, but
there was an excellent demand for July.

City Wanted Right of Way to
Pumping Station.
OF A GRAFT.
Accordingly the Measure Was
Promptly Killed.
Was Revived by Senator NOftz-
ger at TOday's Session.

This morning the senate. by joint
resolution, granted to the city of To-
peka a % foot right of way for a
roadway along the Kansas river bank
at the north edge of the state asylum
grounds The resolution was intro
duced by Senator Noftzger of Harper
county.
A similar resolution, but concurrent,
instead of joint, was killed by the
house on Wednesday evening.
Il have looked up this matter since
/ yesterday" said Senator Noftzger,
land believe that it does not injure the
d. 1t requires the city to maintain a good
road along the north side of the
asylum grounds"
Senator DolIey also endorsed the
plan; He said that he had moved to
lay the former resolution on the table.
but had become convinced that the
resolution was a good one.
The resolution was, under suspen-
sion of therules. at once read the sec
Ond and third times. and put on final
passage. 1t carried by vote of 81
to o.
This undoes the mischief which the
senate through a Misrepresentation,
did on Wednesday night
Tho resolution must be passed by
the house before it becomes effective.
Was Defeated Wednesday Night
Because Senator Belts of Shawnee
county WIS unable to properly explain
the situation. the senate last night kill

granting the city of Topeka the right
to open up a 25-foot roadway along
the river bank on the state asylum
grounds. to provide a means of access
to the pumping station of the city wa
ter plant, located just beyond the asy-
lum.
Instead of promptly explaining that
the roadway to the plant which the
city secured from the Rock Island had
been washed away by the 1903 flood
and that the only possible way of again
opening up this road would be by LAYING
out a new road along the edge of the
states land, Senator Belts waited un-

merry speeches, and had given out the
impression that the state was being
robbed -
Then Senator Belts arose and an
nounce9 that he didn't know much
about the resolution, except that it pro-
Vided for something the state board of
control vented, and that the city of
Topeka was not especially interested.

Miller.
This served to still further prejudice
the mem bers of the senate against the
bill, because 1t made it appear that
Topeka was asking for something in
an underhanded way, and was afraid
to present the case on its merits
Senator Noftzzer raised the point
that the easement of land requested
