Bankhead Is Due Here
Today.
WILL THROW STRENGTH
AGAINST TIE GOVERNOR
Prohibition Made Governor Side
track Biennial Session Bill.
II n Related in the Lobbies That II
Died A-Borning and That 1t
Will Never BE Taken Up
By Present Leg
islature.


Has the biennial sessions amendment
died a-borning? Report said last night
that 1t was never to be vital, senti-
ment being like the constitutional pro-
hibition amendment. and that 1T will
never see the light Of day. either In
the House or Senate.
Early yesterday afternoon the report
ran around that the Senate was being
sounded on the proposed biennial ses-
sion amendment. Later In the after
noon it was said that the amendment
would be introduced in the Senate this
morning. And last night in the hotel
Hobbies 1t was said that the admins
tration leaders had decided to call the
whole thing of and not risk a fight on
1t. This was generally believed. And
II the amendment Is ever introduced,
which now seems improbable. 1t will
be introduced last today. But last
night the talk was that 1t was all up
with biennial sessions.
The situation is not to the liking of
the more ardent friends OF the Cover
nor. It was agreed that the biennial
sessions amendment should be held
back until constitutional prohibition
was safely over the shoals. But con-
stitutional prohibition encountered
more trouble than was expected The
administration and the Anti-Saloon
League leaders had to exert every
ounce of pressure to put IL through,
and their strength was lessened by the
fight. And then the proposition has
never been over strong in the House
and Senate. 1t was held back to stop
some of the talk that the extra session
was called for the purpose Of helping
certain ambitions. 1t is now said the
leaders are afraid to put It in for fear
Of q defeat.
The under current Of gossip yester-
day was about the fate of the biennial
sessions. 1t was recognized that IL
anything was to be done 1t had better
be done at once. But the canvass of
the legislators was not encouraging.
It is a significant fact. in this con-
nection, that United States Senator
Bankhead for whose office the Cover
nor has long been suspected as a
would-be candidate. viii reach Mont
, gomery probably today. II not today.
then Monday.
Those in intimate touch with the
Governor declare that he never at any
time surrendered on biennial sessions
and that he would throw the whole en-
ergy of his fighting blood into the only
proposition that would enable him to
run for the United States Senate.
The postponement OF biennial ses-
sions. it is said. was a promise exacted
of the Governor by the prohibition
leaders who feared for their measures
IL "ambishun" was SO palpably mixed
with their business. They are said to
wage the fight for constitutional pro-
hibition, at the same time giving pri-
vate assurance that II they achieved
what they wanted, the Governor could
be at liberty to ply any side issues that
he wanted.

BEGIN SURVEY ON

Portland.-Fred A. Haines, for a
long time the locating engineer of the
Chicago & Northwestern Railroad
company in Nebraska, South Dakota
and wyoming, has made a PROPOSE
ton to the Coos Bay oregon & Idaho
Railway company, which was recent

Bay, to survey and build steam rail-
road between Coos Bay and some
point at or near Roseburg, Ore, to
have the road completed and in oper-
alton in two years from May /. 1910.
The condition exacted by Mr.. Haines
Is that the local company furnish the
money to make the survey and ac-
quire the right of way, but he agrees
that this is to be repaid to the per-
sons advancing it when those whom
he represents take the road over and
commence its construction. The peo-

FIVE MILLION DOLLAR
BUILDING FOR SENATOR'S
S5,OOO,O0O Office Building for United
States Senators.


Five million dollars for an office
building. Who is spending it? The
most liberal spender in the world
the United States. This is not some-
thing planned for a future date, be-
cause there is no object of immediate
expenditure, but a reality of the
present. A palace of offices has been
constructed for the use of United
States senators at Washington. II
was opened and occupied in part a
completed. The actual cost to date is
S4,672,500, and there Is more expense
to come, rounding out in all probable
ity the s5,000,000. There are 80 sem
ators in congress, but the building is
large enough for thousand. 1t
would cover several blocks in some
cities. 1t is one of the most beautiful
buildings in Washington. 1t stands
diagonally across from the senate
wing of the capitol. Although near
at hand, it is too magnificent for au-
gust senators to approach by walking,
so beautiful subway has been built
connecting it with the senate wing.
Storage battery automobiles. each of
which will carry 10 persons, go whiz-
zing through this passageway like the
wind, and no senator walks. The in
terror architecture of the building is
grand in magnificence and proper
tions. An enormous marble rotunda
rivals if it does not surpass that of
the capitol itself. The individual Of
fices are palatial in construction and
equipment.-The Bookkeeper.

Carter Had Trouble.


Attorney Charles H. Carter, the de-
voted disciple of Isaac Walton, spent
yesterday in an endeavor to entice
basket of trout from the waters OF
Meacham creek. Though Carter is an
expert fisherman in many ways not
being guilty of using a steel rod, bait
or even a spoon hook, he has appar-
emily not mastered the art of landing
a large trout in mid-stream and at
the same time keep his trousers on.
While endeavoring to perfom this feat
yesterday he lost portion of the but
tons off his trousers and a serious
catastrophe was narrowly averted, for
he neither wished to lose the fish nor
his trousers. Those who witnessed
the performance say 1t was much bet
ter than a three ring circus. Even
after he managed to reach shore his
troubles were not ended for he could
not borrow a nail from any Of his
friends or find a stick that would take
the place of a suspender. He finally
made a belt out of piece of fish-line
though it required a considerable por-
ton of the string to reach around.
