A big fight is waging over an at

Thursday. January %.

Salem, Jan. Ex-senator Bailey's
motion for an amendment to the con-
stitution permitting the Legislature to
amend city charter with the consent
of majority of the voters of city is
looked upon by the anti-saloon people
as an effort to circumvent the local
option law.
Should the amendment be adopted
any city that has become "dry" be-
cause it is in "dry" county, could by
vote of its people be made "wet" by
an act of the legislature. This would
practically set aside the local option,
so far as cities are concerned.

HARTMAN FORMS ARMY.
Discipline and Advancement Are Main
Features of Plan. q

Omaha, Neb.. Feb. 1.-THE most
diffiult problem that confronts railway
managements today is the education
and training of the staff to fill posi-
tions.'
This statement was made by Julius
Kruttsc hnitt, director of maintenance
and operation, of all the Hartman
lines, in explanation, in part, of new
plan of railway organization which is
being tried out on the Nebraska divis-
ion of the Union Pacific road. Under
the new scheme of organization, if it
proves successful, all of the 100, 900
employees will be transformed into an
army, each member of which can
aspire with hope to the highest position
in the gift of the railroad for which
he works. In fact, it is the purpose
of the Hartman management so to
train this vast army that each private
will become fitted to fill the position
next above him.
To accomplish these purposes Mr..
Hartman has given his heads of de-
partments carte blanche in the way of
necessary expenditures, and his exam
pie in this respect must of necessity
have great influence upon other rail-
way arrangements.

1aft's Expressed Wish About Inau.
guration to be Fulfilled.


Washington, Feb. 1.-"I want the
very incest Inauguration in history"
That's what w. H. Taft said to half
dozen headliners in the house of rep
resentatives on the occasion of his last
visit to Washington, and it goes to
show that folks don't know what they
are talking about when they say that
the president-elect is trying to dodge
all the frills and fuss and feathers at
tending his induction into office.
Those members of congress with
whom the president-elect talked have
been doing missionary work to secure
pledges of enough votes to insure the
passage of the joint resolution autho-
rizing the use of the pension Office for
the inaugural ball. Four years from
now Washington will have an immense
auditorium to hold the biggest crowd
that ever gathered to honor president.
But this year it is a safe proposition
that the ball will be held in the pen
sion office and it will be wonder.
The programme is divided into five
important features and others of less
interest.
First. the imposing military division
of the pageant, which is being arrang-
ed on big scale by Major General j.
Franklin Bell, who has been appointed
grand marshal.
Second, the civic organization divi-
sion of the parade, with Major Thomas
P. Morgan, chairman of the committee
in charge, as marshal.
Third, the great display of fireworks
on the White Lot, just in front of the
White House, in combination with the
illumination of the streets of Washing.
ton throughout the downtown section,
the dome of the capitol and the Wash
ington monument, and a drill and dis
play of pyrotechnics by the Republican
Flambe au club of Minneapolis.
Fourth, the inaugural ball in the
pension building, the biggest brick
structure in the world.
Fifth, the forenoon parade of Amer
lean veteran soldiers and sailors of the
G. A. R., the United Spanish War Vet
Grams and the Army and Navy Union,
which will form the escort of honor for
President-elect Taft and Vice-Presi-
dent-elect Sherman, from the White
House to the capitol, where they will
take the oath of office, preceding the
big parade and other features.
The latest reports from the chairman
of the general committee indicate that
the Inauguration of Taft and Sherman
will be record breaker, both as to
features and attendance, and that there
will be many innovations.

WELCOMED AT PANAMA.
TAFT Lands at Colon and Proceeds to
Headquarters at Culebra

Panama, Jan. 3c.-President-e elect
Taft today made his trip across the
Isthmus of Panama and everywhere
was greeted with marked demonstra-
tions of good will. With his party,
Mr.. Taft landed this morning at Colon
and proceeded by special train to Guile
bra, where tonight he is quartered at
the residence of Lieutenant Colonel
Goethals, chairman of the Panama Ca
nal commission.
The reception by the Panama Off
cials, both at Colon and Culebra was
most cordial. Tomorrow Mr.. Taft will
visit the site of the Gatun dam. All
members of the party are in good
health.
Colonel Goethals, Joseph Blackburn,
governor of the canal zone; Colonel
C. w. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer,
and other prominent persons immedi-
ately boarded the North Carolina from
the tug Crystal and welcomed the pres
ident-eect.
The first person to shake the hands
of Mr.. and Mrs. Taft when they landed
was Governor Melendez of Colon.
At Culebra the president-elect was
received tremendously by President
Obaldia's cabinet.
The president-elect will sail from
Colon for New Orleans next Friday.

RAGING BLIZZARD
SWEEPS PRAIR|fS
Middle West in the Grip of Binding
Snow Storm.
Drifts Block All Railroad lines-lce
Breaks Telegraph Wires and Cuts
Off All Communication - Rotary
Pows Are Powerless-Cold In
tense and Still Increasing.

Denver, Jan. 30.-From II o'clock
last night until l o'clock today almost
the entire country west Of the Missouri
river was cut off from telegraphic COM
munication with the outside world as
the result of a rain, snow and sleet
storm, accompanied by wind of al
most cyclonic violence that swept over
Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska last
night, and then continued its work of
destruction eastward.
In Colorado, where the storm has
been raging for several days in the
mountains and along the west slope,
railroads are blocked by drifts which
have rendered even the big rotary
plows powerless, and big snowslides
are reported from all directions. High
winds are piling up the drifts in the
mountains and adding to the difficulties
of the railroads.
In the Telluride and San Juan dis
tricts of Southwestern Colorado many
mines have been forced to close because
of the lack of fuel and supplies. A
slide that wrecked section of the Tel
luride Power company's lines put
dozen mines and mills in the Savage
basin out of commission.
The Denver & Rio Grande and Moffat
roads are having much trouble with
drifts. Bitterly cold weather is re-
ported from some points, Telluride re-
porting 16 below.
Passenger trains from the East on
the Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Rock Is
land and Burlington roads are all late,
and passengers report that the wind
blew at the rate of 70 miles an hour
across the Kansas and Nebrsaka prair-
les over which they came.
The storm started throughout East
ern Kansas and Eastern Nebraska last
night with a thick fog. Later this
turned to rain and then, as the cold
wave and strong north wind swept
across the Kansas and Nebraska
prairies, the wires rapidly became
coated with ice and one by one snapped
under the burden. Apparently the
storm increased in intensity as it sped
across Missouri and Iowa, and this
morning neither the Western Union
nor Postal Telegraph companies had a
wire working into Chicago from Dem
yer. Neither company has any infor-
nation regarding the extent of the
storm east of the Missouri river.
The Gunnison branch of the Colorado
& Southern railroad is practically tied
up by the blizzard raging in the region
of Alpine pass. This is also true of
the Leadville branch. A passenger
train on this line is reported to be
stuck in the nsow at Platt canyon.

Saturday, January 80.

Salem, Jan. 30.-District attorneys
all over the state are interested in SEN
ate bill 1T, by Smith, of Umatilla,
which prohibits the incumbents of that
office from engaging in private prac-
tice. 1t is understood that Senator
Smith, who is doctor, introduced the
bill at the request of lawyers, who did
not like to introduce the bill them
selves, for fear of incurring the dis
pleasure of district attorneys.
The purpose of. Senator Albee's bill
relating to hours of labor on public
work is to make the eight-hour provis-
ion apply to employees of contractors
or sub contractors on public work. The
present law, the act of 1907, applies
only to persons employed by the state
or county, and not to contractors or
sub-contractors doing work for the
state or county. Neither the present
law nor the Albee bill Is. B. 1917 ap-
plies to state institutions other than
the penitentiary, for it has been found
impracticable to put an eight-hour law
in force in the asylum, or the mute,
blind or reform schools.
Senator Bailey's bill regulating the
hours of employment of females ex-
tends the provisions of the act of 1903
(amended in 1907 so that it applies to
females employed by telegraph, tele-
phone, express and transportation COM
panies.
To give the governor and secretary
of state joint authority with the state
treasurer in the examination and ap-
proval of securities accepted by the
treasurer from banks in which state
funds are deposited, is the purpose of
Senator Parrish's senate bill 144. At
the present the treasurer is sole judge
of the sufficiency of security; but is
exempted from liability tor any loss
sustained by reason of the failure of
any bank in which funds are deposited
according to law.
Senator M. A. Miller's senate bill
12S proposes to amend the road law of
1903, by permitting the voters of a
road district to vote special tax levy
at special meeting called by petition.

FRIDAY, January 20.

Salem, Jan. 29.-This promises to
be the most eXtravagant legislature
Oregon ever had at Salem, not only on
account of appropriations, but also on
account of new offices to be created
and higher salaries enacted. There
are bills for creation of no less than
200 new jobs, most of them at fat pay
political berths, for few of which
the state and its subdivision shave any
need.
War between Governor Chamberlain
and salary logrollers in the Legislature
was declared today from the governor s
office in special warning message.
The house replied by passing Multno-
mah's bill Off an extra circuit Judge
and overriding his last session vetoes
on four agricultural fair senate bills
appropriating money for Eastern Ore
gon districts.
Five of the six senate bills of the
1907 session, vetoed by the governor
and which were passed over his veto in
the senate at this session, were passed
by the house this morning, when they
came up as a special order. Four of
the bills provide for district agrcul-
tural societies in Eastern Oregon and
carry appropriations of from $500 to
$500 per annum each. The fifth meas
ure permits the garnishment of the sal
aries and wages of state and county
officials.
The most sweeping antitrust bill
that has been introduced in the legis-
lature appeared in the senate today.
1t was introduced by Senator Bingham
and is senate bill 161. 1t not only pro-
hibits every form and shade of trust
and combination agreement, but re-
quires corporations to make an annual
statement under oath that they have
not made any agreements in restraint
of trade or for the maintenance of
prices or rates. 1t prescribes as pen
alties not only fines and imprson-
ments, but forfeiture of corporate ex-
istence and liability to repay all mon
eys received in violation of the anti
trust law.

JEROME WILL PROSECUTE.
Federal Attorney Will Help Get Evil
dence Against New York World.

New York, Feb. 2.-United States
District Attorney Henry l.. Stimson
made public tonight letter, in reply
to one written by District Attorney Je-
rome on the subject of beginning an
action for criminal libel in the state
courts against the publishers of the
New York World because of published
charges regarding the Panama canal
purchases.
Mr.. Stimson tells Mr.. Jerome to go
ahead.
Mr.. Jerome had asked if action in
the state courts on behalf Of Douglas
Robinson, the presidents brother-in-
law, would be an unwise interference
with the actions begun under Federal
jurisdiction.
Mr.. Stimson answers this question
negatively, but does not state that the
Federal inquiries or prosecutions will
cease if Mr.. Jerome begins an action.
1t is apparent that while the Federal
authorities concede to Mr.. Jerome the
right to appear as the protector OF
Douglas Robinson's good name, they
reserve to themselves the privilege of
acting in defense of the reputation of
"a gentleman who occupied the posi-
tion of head of the War department"
in any Federal jurisdiction where the
case applies.
The reference to the gentleman
who occupied the position of head of
the War department probably refers
to Elihu Root, who was the secretary
of war under whom the negotiations
were completed.

NOT PREPARED YET.
Governor-GeneraI Smith Gives Fur
ther Advice to FiIipinos.

Manila, Feb. 2.-The Philippine as
sembly opened today with simple cere-
monies, President Osmena presiding.
The first business to come before the
body was the annual message to the
assembly of Governor-General James
F. Smith, which read, in part, as fol-
lows:
my last word to the Filipinos is
that until the great majority and not
small minority of the citizens are pre-
pared to make intelligent use of the
franchise; until democratic usages and
customs have permeated throughout
the population, and become part of
the daily life of the people; until the
power of unconscionable agitators and
demagogues is broken; until education
has created a just public sympathy
that specious arguments and false doc
trines cannot destroy; until a citizen
has not only the power to judge but
also the courage to act for himself,
the best future of the islands lies with
the land which has given the Filipinos
freedom of speech; liberty of the
press; freedom of worship; the right
of the accused to meet witnesses
against him face to- face; the exercise
of the franchise: free schools; auto
nomy in municipal and provisional
affairs; the right to participate in
making laws through the assembly,
and many other rights, liberties and
privileges not enjoyed by peoples
which have had independence and ma
tional existence for hundreds of
years."
Governor Smith deplored the grow
ing gulf between the Americans and
the Filipinos in the Philippines, and
strongly urged that they draw closer
together and act in unity for the best
interests of both. His message sharp
ly criticises the municipal government
of Manila and the municipal police
force, the personnel of which, he said,
was not equal to that of the house SER
wants of the city.
The provincial government, Governor
Smith pronounced to be entirely salts
factory.
The annual report on the revenues of
the islands shows a decline of about a
million pesos (about $500, 000) for 1908
under the figures of 1907.

ture, Kenji Kaneko, a graduate of the
Imperial university at Toxic and a

Treat All Aliens Alike.

Sacramento, Feb. 2.-Governor Gill
lett made public tonight the text of a
letter received today from President
Roosevelt with regard to anti-Japanese
Legislation now pending in the Califor-
MIA legislature.
President Roosevelt begins by quot
ing letter from the secretary of state
to Governor Gillett, in which Mr.. Root
said that he saw no objection to the
passage of a law which treated all
aliens alike in acquiring and transfer
ring real property, but "To avoid con-
fict with the constitution of the Unit
ed States, such statute should contain
an expressed provision excepting from
its operation any rights secured by
treaty between the United States and
foreign nations.
President Roosevelt then gives the
text of memorandum from Secretary
of State Root, which, he says, has his
cordial approval.
