The city council sat down on the
bills turned in for service at the
Koepake fire and referred back the bill
10 the chief Of the fire department for
correction AZ the regular monthly
meeting held last Monday evening.
The reason for this action was the
claim that heretofore every person who
rendered service AZ fire was put on
the list along with the firemen some OF
whom have been paid for attending
fires when they never saw the fire.
When the claim for services at the
Koepeke fire came up for consideration
a few names were found on the list
who were not members OF the hre de-
partment 40 the whole list was referred
back for correction and tacit agree
ment made that hereafter none but the
firemen shall draw pay.

plant contractors were presented and

"The way this legislature has app

sertion that came from the lips Of
Representative Campbell, of Clacka-
mas county, while discussing the
portage railway bill tonight.
It was language such as leglsla-
tors have become accustomed to
hear outside OF legislative halls, but
not from one OF their own members
upon the floor OF the house. Scarce
ly believing their own ears, the
members OF the house began to sit
up and listen. while Campbell con-
tinued In the same strain. telling OF
his efforts TO have all measures con-
sidered upon their merits, rather
than upon a policy OF generous reci-
procity in the distribution OF appro-

Then MoCue, of Clatsop, rose to a
point OF order and insisted that the
representative from Clackamas
must not be permitted TO call the
members OF the house robbers.

II don't want the gentleman to talk
that way
Campb II was permitted TO contin-

The bill appropriating 100000 for
tho extension of the portage from It's
,resent terminus to The Dalles Is
apparently dead, after many success
es and defeats. Last Thursday the
snproprlatlon bill was passed by the
house, having already been passed
bv the senate. The next day the bill
was reconsldered and laid on the
table. where It remained until this
morning, when, after a strenuous
aght. Il was taken up, placed upon
final passage, and defeated by vote

whealdon and his friends then got
busy. enlisted the aid of the Doug
las county people, and secured anoth-
er reconsideration, leaving the bill
upon third reading until this even
ing. when It came up in regular or
der.
Alarmed at the situation, the
friends OF the bill proposed to cut
the appropriation to $4,000, and
said that Eastern Oregon would pro-
vide the other $4,000. Campbell
wanted to make the appropriation
conditional upon the Eastern Oregon
people paying their 100000 into the
state treasury, lest a makeshift road
be built with the states $4,000
and an additional appropriation for
completion asked two years hence
Davey proposed an amendment,
which was adopted, providing that,
whatever be the cost of the exten-
sion. the state should pay but one
half OF II. The bill, with this limi-
tation, was put on final passage and
received but 80 votes. or one less
