in politics and accordingly was able
to turn out much more work than
the house. 1t is therefore much fur
ther advanced in it's routine, several
measures having already been consid-
cred by the committees and report
ed back to the senate. The hotel in
spection bill which is the bill prepar-|
ed by the travelling men of the state|

mite on appropriations and referred
to that on state affairs, the grounds
assigned for the change being that
it carried no appropriations.

pancy. reducing from twenty to|
ten years, was indefinitely postponed.

person can not hold both a city and|
county office at the same time was|
recommended for passage with the|
provision that school officers be eX-|
empt.

commended that the rules as publ
lished in the blue book of 1905 be em-|
bodied in the same publication OIL

~
New York, Jan. 24.-With the tenn
perature at 1 degree above zero at
a. m. this was the coolest day of
the winter and one of the coldest days
in several years in this city. The cold
was all the more felt because of the
sudden change from the warm damp
weather which prevailed for several
weeks. A vapor arose in clouds from
the harbor and bay and vessels ar
riving at this port had their bows and
decks sheathed in ice.
Reports from upstate districts say
that all the cold weather records were
broken by a drop at some places to
as low as 40 degrees below zero.
New England also experienced ex-
treme cold.

portions to become a plant employ
ing more than two thousand opera
tives, will be legally designated as the

addition to the factory here. has ex-
tensive plants in Elizabeth, N. j.,

MUST CLEAN COACHES.
Health Board VIII Insist on Health
Precautions.

The Oregon Daily Journal SAYS OF
the action of the state health board
The Oregon state board of health
in session this morning at the office
Of Dr. r. c. Yenney, secretary, de-
cldcd to proceed Immediately with
the enforcement of the new statute,
requiring railway companies to have
certain places in the state where their
passenger coaches shall be swept and
cleaned, and also providing that no
coach shall he swept while contain
ing passengers.
The board agreed that one of the
most fruitful sources of spreading
disease. such as tuberculosis, diph-
iberia, etc. was this custom of sweep
ing railway coaches while crowded
with passengers. Heretofore there
has been no law by which this could
be controlled, but the recent legisla-
ture gave the state board of health
ample power to regulate the situa-
ton.
The board also decided to advo-
cate the general cleaning up Of cities
and towns. A provision in the new
quarantine law makes 1t a duty of
the board to enforce a higher stand
ard of sanitation in the smaller cit
les and towns OF the state.
The board took up the subject OF
spinal meningitis, an epidemic of
which is on at Seattle, and three
cases have been reported in Oregon
within tho past month; one at Una
tia. one near Salem and one at AS
toria. 1t was decided to enforce
a strict quarantine in all spinal men,
ingitis cases.
DR.. C. ]. Smith reported that two
children at Umatilla had recently
died of diphtheria and that practi-
callv the entire town had been ex-
posed to the disease. DR.. Smith was
called in and immunized the 20 per-
sons that had been particularly ex-
posed.
The typhoid situation, especially
with reference to the eastern Oregon
towns that had been flooded as re-
suit of the heavy spring rains. was
discussed, but lust how to handle
this most important subject was not
determined at this mornings ses-
sion.

the coming of Canadian Pacific busi-

The Canadian Pacific will for the
first time in its history begin trans act
ing a general freight and passenger
business between Portland and all
points east on its. lines May /. The
business will be exchanged between

Portland's accession of Canadian Pa
cific business is expected to help the
car situation in this territory 1t is be-
lieved the Canadian road will be per-
mitted under its contract to deliver
lumber at points on the Great Lakes,
and anywhere within territory COM
petitive with the Hill lines and not
competitive with the URion Pacific.
In that event relief may be gained by
contractors on the Great Lakes who
have for months been trying to secure
delivery of Oregon lumber and have
been prevented by lack of cars.
Under present conditions these con-
tractors have frequently been obliged
to cancel orders at Oregon mills and go
south for the needed building supplies
An Oregon firm that is under con-
tract to supply piling and timbers for
Milwaukee's new lighthouse recently
sent word to the contractors that it
might be six months before they could
get carsget cars in which to ship the
materials. AS consequence the work
may have to wait until next year, and
the contractors are preparing for that
contingency. In event that the Cana
dian Pacific is permitted to deliver
these supplies immediate relief may be
at hand.

WILL CONTEST WITH UNCLE SAM
Which Shall Have Use of Waters of
Grays Lake?

Word comes from Mackay that
Brazilla Clark, brother of d. Worth
Clark of Pocatello. Is preparing to
contest the right of the government
to use the waters of Gravs Lake for
the irrigation of Fort Hall lands. 1t
is announced that Mr.. Clark Is now
going over the project with a special
agent of the Indian office. The Mac
kay Miner in a recent issue contained
the following:
"Mr. Clark has met with consid-
cradle opposition on this project by
Senator Dubois, who has had q. bill
rassed in tbs, last session, creating a
right for a reservoir In the Black
foot swamps, which 1t is to reclaim
llnd near Pocatello. This project
conflicts with the project Mr.. Clark
started on nearly two years ago, both
parties intending to use the same wa
ter. Mr.. Clark says he had all of
his permits from the state and has
made application to the national gov
ernment for permits previous to the
time the hill was passed, but even
though the bill by Mr.. Dubois passed
both houses and was signed by the
president, Mr.. Clark is hopeful OF
carrying out his project, as the Sec
retary of the interior has not yet con-
demned it,"
II will he remembered that shortly
after the Inauguration of the Grays
Lake project by Clark and other Mac
kay associates, the owners of prior ri
parian rights along the Blackfoot
river brough suit for an injunction,
restraining Mr.. Clark from proceed
ing further with the enterprise, on
the ground that 1t would interfere
with their decreed rights. A tempo
rary injunction was issued by Dis
trict Judge Bulge in chambers at
Paris, and the hearing on an order
to show cause why the injunction
should not be made permanent al tho

but was postponed indefinitely on ac-
count of the illness Of Judge Bulge
