Salem, Feb. 11.-Discovery by Rep
resentative Calkins of "joker" in
substitute house bill 167, providing for
precinct elections on the subject of
whether or not beer, as distinguished
from whiskey and other liquors, should
be sold in those precincts, resulted in
the disastrous defeat of that bill in the
house this afternoon. Following the
exposure by Calkins, Mcdonald and
Patton, members of the committee on
alcoholic traffic, who reported the bill
favorably, and McCue and Brady.
champions of the bill on the floor of
the house, voted against its indefinite
postponement. Only four representa-
tives voted against substituting the
unfavorable for the favorable report on
the measure. They were Bones, Hat
teberg, Meek and Philpott.
Waving aside all question of consti-
tutionality and insisting that the emer-
gency clause should be retained, the
house this morning passed Senator
Hart's bill, providing for two addition
al justices of the Oregon Supreme
court to replace the two commissioners
who have been serving in that capacity
for the last two years.
The two additional justices are to
receive an annual salary of 81, 500 and
are to be appointed by Governor Cham
berlain to serve until November, 1910.
when their successors will be elected.
With the appointing power vested in
the governor, the seven Democrats in
the house voted solidly for the bill.
The house tonight adopted the maio-
rity report of the judiciary committee,
recommending the passage of Bower
mans bill providing for the transfer
OF circuit court judges from one dis
trict to another to relieve congested
condition of courts. The original vote
was "a to 81.
The senate held an evening session
tonight and passed Is bills, thus clear
ing the desks of all accumulated work.
Among the important bills passed
were the fishery bill agreed upon be-
tween the state of Oregon and WASH
ington, the new military code, the 1e-
vised game law, the Kay bill providing
bounties on cougars, timber wolves and

MAY STOP DIGGING.
Secretary Garfield Threatens to sus-
pend Klamath Work.

Washington. Feb. IA. Newell
of the reclamation service, stated to-
dav that orders had been issued to shut
down work on the Klamath irrigation
project, pending adjustment of differ
ences between the government and the
settlers. This announcement follows
q decision by Secretary Garfield that
settlers must pay the annual mainte-
nance charge of 20 cents per acre, be-
ginning May next. and must make
ten equal annual payments OF SO each
per acre for the water right, the first
water payment falling due May l,
1910.
Many settlers have announced that
they cannot pay $50 per acre for water,
but, as this is the actual proportionate
cost of building the project, the secre-
tary cannot accept less. He requested
the Water Users association to inform
him what it is willing TO do under the
circumstances, but as it has not made
reply, he felt obliged to stop further
construction until satisfactory agree
ment is reached. The settlers, under
the first unit of the project, which is
completed, will be furnished water
this coming season, if they pay the
maintenance charge, but, unless there
is speedy agreement, construction of
the Clear lake reservoir will not be
carried forward and the second unit
of the project will remain undeveloped.
Meantime, Engineer Murphy, in
charge of the klamath project, has
been called to Washington and will be
succeeded by w. w. Slecht.
F. w. Hanna, another reclamation
engineer, has been sent to resume the
preliminary work of the Malheur pro
ject and, if the klamath controversy
is not adjusted, work may be concen
trated at Malheur.

BREEDING PLACE OF STORMS
Rocky Mountain Plain to Blame for
Latest Billiards.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-At last the trou-
ble-maker in things meteorological has
been run to earth. The secret men of
the United States weather bureau have
put their fingers on the capital offender
to blame for the major portion of the
squalls, gales, hurricanes, drizzles,
deluges, blasts and blizzards that afflict
mankind.
The Rocky mountain plateau is the
guilty party, according to Professor
Willis l.. Moore, chief of the govern
ment weather forces, who is in town
this morning for a three days visit.
His arrival was made signal by the
declaration that the long distance
weather forecast is success, and that
the weather office has proved its abil-
ity to detect approaching storm areas
more than week in advance.
AS an instance, Professor Moore
cited the cold snap, preceded and ac-
companied by much moisture and vigo-
rous air currents, that has just passed
over this city on its way to New Eng
land. When that storm was discover
ed, having just assumed malignant pro-
portions, it was located in Eastern
Asia, but its baggage was checked
right through.

Plan Disaster Warnings.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 14.-A report
has been presented TO the Russian
Meteorological Congress, in session
here, on the use of seismographs to
prevent mine disasters. These disas-
ters are usually preceded for several
days by slight movements of the strata
by which explosive gases are released
or which indicate coming earth slides.
The installation of seismographs would
give ample warning of disasters aris-
ing from these two causes.

Friday, February II.

Salem, Feb. 12.-After being amend
ed so as to apply to the whole state,
Representative Davis bill permitting
ten-round boxing contests for points
was killed in the house tonight. There
were only 20 votes in its favor.
"a. B. c." members of the house
tonight killed by indefinite postpone
ment Representative Smiths two bills
amending the direct primary law and
requiring that arrangement of candi-
dates names on the primary nominat-
ing and general election ballots be de-
termined by drawing lots.
The house today adopted the senate
resolution proposing submission to the
people of the constitutional amendment
increasing the Supreme court from
three to five members and giving the
Supreme court original jurisdiction
over habeas corpus proceedings.
Representative Purdin's bill appro-
priating 100000 towards the con-
struction of wagon road from Med

passed the house this afternoon, with
16 votes against it.
For the purchase of the Oregon City
locks by the state and the national
government, the senate tonight passed
the substitute bill introduced by the
ways and means committee at request
of Representative Jones, of Polk, pro-
viding for raising 500, 600 in each of
three years so soon as congress shall
appropriate 100000 for the joint
fund. The $780,, 900 raised under the
old law will be turned into the general
fund; likewise the S100, 900 that will
be raised this year. Barrett of Wash
ington voted no.
The recorder of conveyances in
Washington county bumped up against
executive veto this morning and will
probably fail to get raise in salary.
The bill was introduced by the Wash
ington county senators, Barrett and
Wood. In vetoing it the governor
gave the same reasons as set forth in
previous veto messages-that the re-
corder took the office knowing what his
compensation would be, and that the
salary should not be raised or lowered
during his term.

Red Man Looked Like White.

Salem--Warren Davis, formerly a
bartender here. has been arrested by a
deputy United States marshal and
taken to Portland. He is charged with
selling liquor to an Indian from the
Chemawa school. Davis contends that
ne has no recollection of selling to an
Indian, and as it is understood the red
man in question is SO nearly white it
would be difficult to pick him from a
Caucasian, his contention is considered
good.

stitutional question raised against the
appointment of Senator Knox as secre-
tary of state. He was somewhat DIS
nrbed over the situation last night,
hut early today he received the news

constructive work." he said, the
greatest entered into by any nation
during the present two centuries, and
am glad to say to you that the work is
going on as you would have it go on,
that on the first of January, 1915, al
least, if not beforehand l am very
much interested in having it within
the next four years-that canal will be
completed. And when that time comes
you will see floating down this river
your great commerce, bound through
those straits to the west coast of Soutt
America, to the Orient and to Austria
liza.
1.-THE board of engineers have exam
ined the whole work and they say it il
good; that it shall go on as it has gont
on; that the organization of the 18th
mus, the American push and the gooC
feeling that there exists commends it
self to them as men who undertook
great works of that class and conyincei
them that the canal is now an imme
diate prospect"
