Two measures providing for the de-

county and city funds went down to
defeat in the house last night because
their enscting clauses were stricken
out The first of the two was house
Dill No. 215. 1t developed that this
measure should not be house bill at
all, but house joint resolution. Mr..
Jensen moved to make it a joint re-
solution, but Mr.. Joseph pointed out
that 1t would have to be altered in so
many ways to put it in proper form
that 1t was well-nigh a hopeless task
at this time, especially in view of the
congested condition of the business in
the house. He therefore moved To
strike out the enacting clause
Mr. Clegg defended the measure He
declared that the state would earn q
large sum in interest each year if de-
positories were named and a rate of
interest fixed.

CAN'T ADJUST DIFFERENCES

The grain dealers and the oregon Short

-,ees The trouble has grown out of the
,.sflsal of the railroads to grant reciprocal
e-sigbt demurrage to the shippers. To
,bis point the railroads claim that they
.opnot comply because of the interstate
commerce law.
Pscentlv the grain dealers requested
mai the Oregon Short Line place cars
for unloading i'm the south yard. near
south Temple and First South street. for
Inc reason that during the present muddy
condition of the unpaVed streets and eS-
recially near the north yards, where con-
rfruction work is now going on. it is al
most impossible for teams to haul their
ioads The Short lime people complied
onlv in part TO this request, and are piac-
inr competitive freight i'm the south yard.
hut freight from Idaho and other points
ebere there is no competition is being
placed as usual In the north yards.
Insufficient Trackage.
The short Line people say that they
would gladly place al freight in the south
Yards. but are compelled TO leave a large
norton Of it at the north yards on ac-
count OF there not being sufficient room
on the tracks of the former.
The railroad company has been furnish
ing each teamster with the help of an ad-
the point of Unloading to the limits of
the yards. where the shippers team is
left to haul the load alone. The shippers
SAY that che railroads should furnish them
with this additional assistance as far as
the paved districts. or to any other points
where their own teams can handle the
loads. and not leave them at the worst
place in the roads where the mud is hub
deep.
Wanted More Time.
Another phase in the situation is that
the grain dealers asked for additional
time in unloading freight in the north
Yards. on account Of the bad condition Of
the streets in the vicinity of the yards
This request was refused. also ON the
grounds that the interstate commerce law
would not permit IT.
This refusal brought the situation to
head and now the grain dealers whenever
possible are shipping over the Rio Grande
Western. They are requesting those with
whom they do business at a distance to
ship TO them over the Rio Grande West
ern and they are shipping nearly all their
business over that road. The convenient
location OF the Rio Grande yards makes
loading and unloading and hauling easy
they say, and so long as the Short Line
.aunot accommodate them. they are COM
lelled to ship over the other road.

SMITH SCARES
c. D. P. MACHINE
Announcement That He Will
Oppose ReappOintment of
Land Board the Cause.

The announcement made by Senator
Benner X. Smith that he would fight
the confirmation of the reappointment If
the members of the state land board
when they are submitted to the senate
by Governor Cutler has caused the most
AFFECT terror among the members of the
Republican machine. The governor does
not know what to do and although yes
terday was in reality the last day of the
legislative session the governor was ap-
parently afraid. to send in the appoint
ments, although number Of others We're
submitted for approval.
So Disconnected has the governor be-
come that yesterday afternoon Senator
Reed SmOot. the big boss, and w. r.
Spry, the little boss, consulted with the
governor for several hours, together with
several members of the land board. What
was accomplished is not known, but il
is definitely known that the land board
members are badly scared.
1t does not often occur that a man with
the determination of Mr.. Smith dares to
party bosses, and Smoot and Spry are
cursing the day they allowed him to be
nominated for the senate.
May Wait Two Years.
Whether the governor will submit the
nominations to the senate and take a
chance of the machines power to secure
confirmation. or whether be will wait
until the senate adjourns and make re-
cess appointments, thus securing for the
land board members their jobs for two
years at least. with the hope that the
next senate can be disciplined easier. cam
not be foretold, but it is thought that he
will send in the names today despite the
opposition.
As result of the investigation. Sena-
tor Smith yesterday introduced a bill in
the senate which will remedy existing
conditions if its provisions are obeyed.
The measure defines the duties of the
state board Of land commissioners, and
prohibits any member or employee of the
board from directly or indirectly acquir-
ing title to OF interest in any state lands,
and prohibiting interference by members
or employees of the board with appli-
cants. Any violation of the provisions
of the bill Is made misdemeanor.
The bill will come up for final consid-

STATE CAPITOL

twenty-five Thousand Dollars
Annually to Be Set Aside

toward the desired end.
The original bill fixed the amount at
SlO1uG annually. This figure was re-
duced by the committee to $4,000. An
amendment by Mr.. Marks specifies the
sum Of S25,0O0. In explaining the pur-
pose of the amendment Mr.. Marks stat
cd that the rental paid by the state at
this time is between 5000 and Sl0.O06. and

SERIOUS consideration is being given
to the suggestion that new star be
added to the flag by the formation of q
new state. The new state proposed
would be in what is known as the inland
empire and would include liberal slices
of the three states of Washington, Idaho
and Oregon. Lincoln is the name pro-
posed for the new state. Spokane, Wash,
is the chief city of that territory. The
agitation for remodeling the states men
toned arises from the diversity and an
tagonism of interests in each of the
three states involved. Washington is
divided into two parts by the Cascade
mountain range, which intercepts the
moisture from the Pacific so as to cause
much greater rainfall over the western
portion than the eastern. The western
section is chiefly interested in numbering
and shipping, and in their development
the great cities of Seattle and Tacoma
have been built. Eastern Washington
is decidedly agricultural and its develop
ment along Industrial liCes has made
Spokane a great distributing point.

sugar only one ifth was produced 10 the
