COME SENATOR.
STARTS FOR EAST SUNDAY

Salem, Or, Mar. 1.-Governor
Chamberlain Saturday placed his
resignation as governor in the hands
of his secretary, Mrs. C. B. Shelton,
to be delivered to Secretary of State
Benson at the opening of Office hours
this morning. The resignation took
effect at IL O'Clock midnight Sun
day night, so that Benson might be-
come governor at the beginning OF
March /. In fact he will not be
governor until he shall have taken
the oath of Office.
In his resignH tion Governor Cham
berlain expressed his thanks TO Mr..
Benson and other state officers for
their courtesy and cooperation in
official transactions. The Governor
left Sunday morning for Washing
ton, expecting to arrive there on
March 4.
Before leaving Governor Chamber
lain made a number of appoint
ments, the most important being
that Of Representative C. L. Hawley,
Of Polk county, to be a member OF
the board of regents of the Agrlcul-
tural college. The governor also
appointed a state highway commits
sion, an adjunct of the conservation
commission. The governor says In
his letter announcing the appoint
ments that, like the appointment of
a conservation commission, there is
no law authorizing such action, but
he asks the members to arrange a
meeting, study the problem of wag-
on roads and railroads and report to
the legislative session of 1911.

Francis j. Heney has been paid
a total of s65,000 to date for his
services in connection with the pros
ecution of the Oregon land-fraud
cases, these payments covering the
period beginning November 7, 1908,
when he was first appointed special
assistant attorney-general of the
United States to assist the United
States district attorney for the Dis
trict of Oregon" down to the be-
ginning of the present year The
last payment was made to Mr.. Heney
January 81, 1909.
1t is evident from a statement
made by the attorney-general, that
Mr. Heney will receive further COM
pensation, for, contrary to public
knowledge, he is still retained on
the government payroll
Whether Mr.. Heney will continue
on the payroll of the department of
justice after March 4, will depend
upon the attitude OF the incoming
attorneygeneral. 1t is not thought
likely that he will.
