DRY FARM STATIONS.
THE LOWER HOUSE ENDORSES
TWO BILLS FOR SAME.
VARIOUS LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
Oregon Senatorial Primary Bill Passed
Measure for the Protection
Of Game Birds.

The house stamped its approval
upon furtherance of dry farming ex-
periments for sand hill farmers when
1t indorsed in committee of the whole
two bills for the establishment of ex-
pertinent stations in the semi.arid re-
gions of the west and northwest.
The limitations upon the location Of
these stations require that they be
located somewhere in Kimball, Scots
Butte, Sioux, Sheridan, Cherry, Keya
Butte Souix, Sheridan, Cherry, Keya
Paha. Brown or Rock counties.
Brown of Keya Paha pleaded, In
asking for the establishment of one
OF the stations, that 1t has taken the
dwellers in the sand hills twenty-five
years to find out what they can grow
In those regions.
The bills carry appropriations each
Of $4,000. Representative Clark, In
urging their passage, declared that he
believes the state could not spend
money to better advantage than in
testing the resources Of the sparsely
populated. semi.arid portions of the
west.
There is a tendency on the part of
n good many of the members to con-
slider that the establishment of ex-
pertinent stations will answer the pur-
pose of western agricultural college.
Mr.. Kelley denies this, however. He
says a college is a college and an ex-
pertinent station is an experiment
ton. and this legislature will leave
one platform unfulfilled If it does not
provide for a school similar to the
Lincoln school somewhere in the
west.

Garnisheement Law.

Nettleton of Clay has introduced
a bill to wipe out the attachment law
passed by the last session of the legis
lature. He would have sixty days
wages of the head of family exempt
from garnishment, attachment or exc
cution. provided that such head of q
family is not about to leave the state
with debts unpaid. The last legislature
amended the law so that only 80 per
cent is exempt from attachment. I'm.
der the provisions of the law or 1907
much work for justice courts has
arisen through attachment on wages.

Garfield Not In the Cabinet.

The definite statement can be made
that James r. Garfield, secretary of
the interior, will not be a member of
the cabinet of the next administra.
tion' Neither viii he be an ambassa-
dor to foreign country. He will
return to his home in Ohio and take
up the practice of law.
There Is almost as good authority
Tor saying that there will be n clean
sweep of the present cabinet members
unless II should be Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson and Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer. There Is much doubt as
TO Mr.. Wilson,.

For District Clerks.

A bill in which district clerks of
the state are interested was intro.
duced into the senate by Senator Ran.
som. 1t provides that ordlrs of the
courts will be filed without charge
and fixed specific charges for entering
all other papers. The clerks have had
a difficult time in collecting the money
on judgments and other orders by the
court, and in many cases these have
never been fled The new list raises
the process of filing other documents
so that the charge will not have to be
made for the order.
The Red Cloud chief., 1909-02-04
PLANNING A PRIMARY.
Bills on the Subject Come Before
Both Houses

Both houses.
Bills have been introduced in both
houses to amend or repeal the pri.
mary law. The measure for amend
ment is by Mr.. Kuhl In the senate 1t
is in keeping with suggestions made
during the campaign by adherents Of
both parties. Mr.. Scheele, in the
house has a bill to do away with the
primary law altogether. His measure
carries with It no suggestion to take
the place of the primary law, passed
by the thirtieth session of the legis.
1ature. 1t presumes return to the old
convention system. Senator Hatfield
of Antelope introduced similar bill
Many democrats will vote to repeal.
Many republicans want to see 1t re-
pealed, but may not stand fire when
the measure comes up In the house.
Action on the Scheele bill is not likely
to be entirely along party lines.
II will vote for the BILL" SAID a
law has not been success in our
neck OF the woods. II 1t could be so
amended that 1t would only apply to
cities of 10000 population or over, 1t
would be all right. But in the country
1t is failure. The people did not get
out to the primaries. The entire cost
of a campaign is more than the ad-
vantages of the measure will war
rant. One member Is considering the
introduction of a bill taxing every
voter who does not appear at the
polls on primary day or on general
election day.
Kuhrs amendment to the law pro-
vides that the state convention shall
be held the last Tuesday OF July in
order that It may frame a platform
before the candidates file applications
for office. In addition to this he
would have the committees, county,
congressional, judicial and state. Sc
lected according to a plan arranged
by the state committee Of eacn party.
These methods need not be similar
in each party. The state convention
shall select the state committee, and
shall issue a platform. 1t shall not en-
dorse any candidates for any office.
The delegates to the state convent on
shall be selected by the county COM
mittee, but shall not be one from
each county, but shall be apportioned
by the state committee according to
the vote cast for presidential elector
at the last presidential election.

committee Of the whole. The bill

Bank Guaranty Law.

Democratic leaders conferred with
Mr.. Bryan and Governor Shallen-
berger and agreed upon the principal
provisions of the bank guaranty law
that is to be passed by the legisla-
ture. There were present Senator
Volpp and Representative Graf, chair
men OF the senate and house banking
committees, and several leading men,
bers of both houses. The bill which
Mr.. Bryan wishes passed will be a
compulsory act and for immediate
payment even as distinguished from
Senator Volpp's thirty-day payment
provision. 1t having been impressed
on the members that this is neces-
sary, and Mr.. Bryan desires losses
shall be made good the moment the
bank cannot be checked up. The bill
must also have tax equal to l per
maximum levy in any one year mus
not exceed 2 per cent of the deposits
in emergencies

Railroad Physical Valuation.

The subcommittee of tile joint COM
mittee on railroads, which has been
considering physical valuation of rail-
road and public service corporation
property, has agreed to recommend
the bill of Senator Oils as their idea
of the measure to be introduced. 1t

ings, water stations and other struc-
lures used by the road, all track ma

stock which in the case of an inter
state road shall be the proportion
justly chargeable to the part of the
road lying in the state; value Of
shops and machinery, and all other
articles and things belonging to and
necessarily part of the road.
The commission must find the total
value of each railroad, the number of
miles of road and the average value
per mile of track. The basis to be
used in arriving at such value shall
be average market value of cost of
labor and material.
The values spoken of shall be the
amount of money found necessary to
rebuild the road complete rs it now
stands, allowing for reasonable
length Of time for assembling the
material and doing the work neces-
sary for bringing into existence such
railroad. The proper reductions shall
be made for the wear and shrinkage
in value on account Of age and wear
Of material.
Full power is given the commission
to call for reports from all the cor
porations affected and to devise
schedules which the companies must
answer under oath.
The work must be concluded in the
year 1910 and when valuation of a
company is determined the opportun-
ity for a hearing must be granted.
