SENATE PASSES THE
PILOTAGE BILL
NO MORE COMPULSORY Pill
oTAGE ON COLUMBIA
RIVER BAR.

STATEHOUSE, Salem, Or, Feb,
Having worked half last night and
adjourning only when the milkman
was coming, the Senate was unable
to work up enthusiasm this morning,
and II bills of the House were passed
without any argument, Heavy eyed
and tired, the Senate was in no mood
to ignite fireworks, and the bills slid
through readily, The majority Of
these, however, were for raising sal
aries OF county officers in various
parts Of the state.
OF chief importance to Portland
was the passage of the bill to abolish
compulsory pilotage at the Columbia
River bar,
The Senate also passed the bill
compelling six months Of school in
every district, and Mccue's bill per-
hitting counties to levy a tax for
advertising purposes
An appropriation Of $4,000 was
passed for an interstate bridge at
Ontario, yet during the midnight ses-
sion the Senate had refused to pass
nm aonropriation of $4,000 for prepar-
ing specifications for an interstate
bridge between Portland and Van
couver

After the first five or ten minutes
no cries were heard and there was
no noise save that made by cracking
Of ames. Latest reports are that no
Americans were killed.
