TUESDAY. JANUARY 10, 1909,
SIXTY DAYS.

Over in Helena there has been start

They thought so in the tenth as
sembly-but that assembly lasted
sixty days. They circulated the same
rumor during the ninth assembly--but
the records do not show that there was
any abbreviation of the session that
year. And, so, the Helena people are
no longer thrown into fit by the an.
nouncement that there will be a short
session. They have learned that there

days fixed by law as the length Of the
session. II the law said that there
should be ninety days or hundred
days in the session. there would always
be business enough raked up to keep
the session going the full number Of
rounds. This declaration in favor Of a
short session is like the assertion that
the number of bills introduced will be
kept down to a minimum; 1t sounds
all right but Il doesn't mean anything
more than that the inexperienced leg
isiator has not learned to keep still. 1t
ID safe to figure that the present ses-
sion will be sixty days long.

SEEKS ADVANCEMENT
OF HARTMAN CASES

Washington, Jan. 1S.--In the SUI
preme court of the United States to-
day solicitor General Hoyt asked for
the advancement of the argument in
the cases of the Southern Pacific
Railway company against the inter-
state commerce commission and the
interstate commerce commission
against A. B. Stickney. The former
case comes from the United States
court for the northern district of Cali
fornia and the other from the United
States district court for Minnesota.
The first case involves the right of
the commission to reduce the rate of
green fir lumber from Oregon points
to San Francisco, and the other the
right of the company to prescribe q
charge of 81 per car as a maximum
rate to be made for the delivery of
livestock In the stock yards at Chi
cagO.

Governor Fernald recommends that
such laws be enacted as will make the
Maine state election coincident with
the general election and avoid the I'M

dual election system entails. The sug-

the Pine Tree lawmakers and they will

Is true that she has usually righted
herself when the real issue was pre-

of the new Fort Missoula, there waA
one specially significant paragraph. 1t
was stated in the dispatch referred to
that lin connection with the new con-
struction work at the fort, the war de-
partment will insist upon the com.
plete abandonment of all the saloons
now adjoining or lying near the mill
tary reservation" There Is not any
body who will disagree with the pol
partment; the military authorities are
in position to enforce their edict; not
the least among the advantages which.
will result from the construction Of the
post will be the closing of these dead
falls. Those who are in any degree
familiar with the situation will indorse
the attitude taken by the department ;
the proximity Of these saloons to the
fort Is not conducive to the best in
terests Of the service; they are the ma
tural outgrowth of the abolition Of the
post canteen; with no place for recre-
alton within the post limits. the sold
Ter off duty seeks his fun in these

the country Is interested in"
Mr.. Butler Of Pennsylvania in the
chair, ruled that Mr.. Wlllett was
speaking under the license of general
debate and that he was not called upon
to indicate In advance the subject OF
his remarks.
Mr.. Willett's reference to the presi-
dent became so severe that Chairman
Butler interrupted and admonished
him.

that part of his remarks should be
blotted out Of his speech"

Taking special notice of this latter
point the chair remarked that he hao

Mr.. Willett's reference to the def

Mr.. Gardner of Massachusetts to OBJ

After a good deal of sparring the
chair ruled that the words We're Of

By this time the house Was IN fur
ore. Above the babel of voices Mr.
Gardner was heard to make the point
that a member having been found out
of order in debate, he was no longer
entitled to the floor.
Messrs. Hepburn Uowa) and Mann

Mr.. Hepburn insisted that Mr.. Willet,

The chair then directed Mr.. Willett
to take his seat which he reluctantly
did.

FLOOD CONDITIONS
REMAIN UNCHANGED

San Francisco, Jan. 1S.-There is no
change tonight in the flood conditions
throughout the central part of the
state, outside of the steady falling Of
the rivers. No rain to speak of has
fallen for the last "a hours and while
railroad traffic is badly crippled by
washouts and the destruction of
bridges, the companies have many men
at work on repairs and are slowly re-
storing communication with all points.
Weather forecasts tonight for af-
fected area are for more rain, but
as the warm weather continues and
there is little or no snow remaining
in the foothill country above Sacra-
mento, no further trouble is expected
in the near future. No estimates of
the loss caused by the floods of the
last week have been compiled as yet.

JONES OF WASHINGTON
SLATED FOR ELECTION

Olympia, Wash, Jan. 1S.-For the
first time this session the Legislature
will convene in separate session to-
morrow to ballot for United States
senator. BY reason of the direct pri
mary law, under which Congressman
Wesley l.. Jones of Yakima was
named as the preference Of the voters
of the state on the republican ticket,
and George F. Cotterill of Seattle
on the democratic ticket, prolonged
balloting for senator will be avoided,
as it is doubted whether the names
of any others besides Jones and Cot
terill will be presented. AS the leg
islature is constituted on joint bal
lot, 12S republicans and 9 democrats, it
seems tonight to be a foregone con-
clusion that Jones will be elected on
the first ballot.
