NEW OREGON CODE
COMMISSION NEED TO
CLASSIFY THE LAWS
Attorneys Complain OF Unsatisfactory
Condition OF Oregon Laws-Next
Legislature VIII BE Asked for a
Commission 90 Codify and Publish
State Laws.

oregon is to have a new code revis-
ed and annotated and brought up to
date together with the constitution
printed in the front as It now is and
not as it was a half century ago, says
the oregon Daily Journal. At least
that is the plan of the lawyers of the
state who contend that the statutes
have come to such tangle that 1t is
becoming practically impossible to
tell what the law really is without
long and laborious search through
session laws, antiquated code and in
itiative enactments.
Goaded by the condition which con-
fronts them daily in their practice Of
the law the members of the state bar
association. and of the Multnomah
County Bar association, are planning
to advance upon the legislature next
January and demand redress and sur
cease from unnecessary tribulatlon,
worry and work
The state association will have an
annual meeting some time during the
late summer and fall and then the
matter will be given full discussion
and a plan OF campaign will be map
ped out According to the present
program the association will ask the
legislature for code commission to
revise the laws of the state and put
them in good and convenient form.
II is probable that to make sure
their wishes and ideas are carried out
they will draft a bill for submission to
the legislature providing for the COM
mission and It's work, Then commit
tees will be appointed to bear the bill
to Salem present 1t to the legislature
and stay by It until It has been given
the seal Of the legislatures approval.
Present Code Antiquated.
The Belllnger & Cotton code is an
tiquated and not only that but 1t is
out Of print. outside OF a few copies
in the possession of the secretary of
state for the use of the next legisla-
ture there are no copies to be had

AS in every community where prini-
tive conditions surround a population
of highly civilized men, the instinct of
chivalry was strong. Mr.. Burt Will
liams was informed by the officials of
the company, who, as he knew, voiced,
in this instance at least, the senti-
ment of the majority of the citizens,
that he would have to provide for the
young woman whom he had arbitrarily
caused to be brought into their midst
until she obtained other satisfactory
means of support.
Mr.. Williams considered the stu
alton. Being unable, apparently, to ar
rive at any satisfactory solution of the
problem by himself, he began to fire.
quent the society Of the source of his
trouble, probably with the crafty de-
sign of discovering from that quick
witted and resourceful young woman
an elucidation. Whether or not he
really did receive from her any sug-
gestions on the subject, or is himself
entitled to full credit for the highly
diplomatic finale, is not known, but it
is certain that the stratagem must
have been abetted by her at some stage
of its development, for early the next
spring ne succeeded IN recovering by
process of law and through the cooper,
alton of the mission church the iden-
teal piece of calico which had been so
removed from his hands
during the preceding fall. And as a
further restitution, and as part and
parcel of the same transaction, he also
received, artistieally enclosed within
it's folds, but sufficiently revealed to
awaken the admiration of beholders, a
no less award than the mischievous
Liz herself.

ONE OF THE OLD NOTIONS.

These are days when almost any nc- ton that has been held may be SO att ta sketi that it wont seem worth while to hold it any longer.

MERGING IN OHIO.

A STRANGE CONQUEST.

The conquest of Massachusetts by the gypsy moth has always seemed strange. Massachusetts is a State so full of brains that it is afflicted with the swelled head, but along comes It has from time to time been hinted that in it's triumphant progress the moth has had the assistance of some of the willy and wicked brains in Mas sachusetts, and if this is so of course the mystery is not so great as it has seemed. Such q hint is now going the rounds. Reports from the Worcester county town of Lunenburg come in way that ought to lead to investiga- ton. The story is of discovery there of 8 gypsy moth nest on 8 stone varying in nature from any of the minerals in that vicinity. remark of the peculiarity of the case to State agent for gypsy moth extermination, question as to the suspicion that the nest was planted. and throwing of the stone and nest in- to a lake by the agent, with the af- tirmation. "We'H have no further dis pute on that question"

FEBRUARY.

February will be the coldest month of winter, said Prophet Johnson, and he further lays out for this month all most everything from "a local disturb ance" to an earthquake. We have had some of the cold, the local dis turbance, and there is plenty of time left for more of the cold, for an inter- mediate disturbance, for a general dis turbance, and for an earthquake. If we have them all we shall have enough. But the great winter storm
 which Prophet Johnson predicted dur ing the period from January so tC February didn't happen, unless the And it may be that February will not be as disturbed and disturbing as il seemed to Prophet Johnson likely tc he. Anyhow, we have got part way through it without serious trouble, and perhaps the coal will hold out.

AN INTERESTING EFFORT.

There has been an educational row going on in the District of Columbia for a long time. It has reached a point now where Congress seems inclined to step in and abolish the school board. The Deliver bill. now before the Sem ate, provides that there shall be no school h, ard and that the managing director of the schools shall be an of ficial to be appointed by the United States commissioner of education This director is to appoint all suhordinates and all teachers; In short, he is to run the plant, and he will be responsible, of course. to the appointing power. Local sentiment opposes investing the United States commissioner of educa- ton with the power of appointing the head of the District school system. and prefers that the power be given to the board of commissioners, which governs the District in all other matters.
 The efforts of Congress to govern the little District of Columbia are al ways interesting, and sometimes anus ing. So, 1t may be added, arc its ef. forts to govern Columbia, the gem oi the ocean.
