wednesday, TeDTuaTy W.
Salem, Feb. 10.-Advocate of three
normal schools won the opening skir-
mish in the normal school fight in the
house today. BY vote of 38 to Fl
the bill recommended by the committee
on ways and means and carrying an
appropriation of $115, 900 for one CEN
tral normal school at Monmouth, was
rejected. At the same time the house
re-referred the bill to that committee
with instructions to make provision for
the three schools at Weston, Ashland
and Monmouth.
For protection of forests through
fire warden, the state board of forestry
is urging passage of Representative
Abbott's bill, No. 226, enlarging the
powers of the board and appropriating
SIS, 900 therefor.
The ways and means committee of
the house has cut down the sum to $3,-
900, but efforts are being made to put
back the original figure.
After being defeated with only 26
votes in its favor, the substitute eight
hour bill, fathered by the Clackamas
county delegation, was reconsidered in
the house this afternoon and passed by
a vote of 40 to 10, one absent. The
substitute bill is much less stringent
than the original and provides that la
borers in all manufacturing institutions
shall be allowed at least 80 minutes
every six hours in which to eat.
Abbott's bill, amending the direct
primary law to prevent the members of
one political party from participating
in the primary nominating election of
another passed the house this after
noon. There were al ayes and l6
noes. Democrats voted no.
The Multnomah county bill increas-
ing the number of circuit judges from
four to five has passed both houses and
will go to the governor tomorrow. 1t
will be signed by the governor, and i'm
mediately the governor will appoint his
private secretary, w. N. Gatens, to
fill the new judgeship. The bill was
passed with this understanding, it hav
ing been announced from the COVER
nor's office several days ago that if the
bill should pass, this appointment
would be made.

Salem, Feb. 12.-After being amend

GA. B. c." members of the house
tonight killed by indefinite postpone
ment Representative Smiths two bills
amending the direct primary law and
requiring that arrangement of candi-

resolution proposing submission to the
people of the constitutional amendment
increasing the Supreme court from

Supreme court original jurisdiction
over habeas corpus proceedings.

priating 100000 towards the con-

For the purchase of the Oregon City
locks by the state and the national
government, the senate tonight passed
the substitute bill introduced by the
ways and means committee at request
Of Representative Jones, of Polk, pro-
viding for raising 100000 in each of
three years so soon as congress shall
appropriate $780, 900 for the joint
fund. The $4,000 raised under the
old law will be turned into the general
fund: likewise the $10G, 900 that will
be raised this year. Barrett of Wash
ington voted no.
The recorder of conveyances in
Washington county bumped up against
executive veto this morning and will
probably fail to get raise in salary.
The bill was introduced by the Wash
ington county senators, Barrett and
Wood. In vetoing it the governor
gave the same reasons as set forth in
previous veto messages-that the re-
corder took the Office knowing what his
compensation would be, and that the
salary should not be raised or lowered
during his term.

Plan Disaster Warnings.

St. Petersburg, Feb. ia report
has been presented to the Russian
Meteorological Congress, in session
here, on the use of seismographs to
prevent mine disasters. These disas-
ters are usually preceded for several
days by slight movements of the strata
by which explosive gases are released
or which indicate coming earth slides.
The installation of seismographs would
give ample warning of disasters aris-
ing from these two causes.

ROBBERS SECURE $4,000.
Daring Early Morning Holdup Carried
Out Near Denver.

Denver, Feb. 15.-That the hold-up
of the westbound Denver & Rio Grande
passenger train, near Denver, at 3 :15
this morning, was the work of three
instead of two robbers and that the
robbery of the mail car gave them a
loot of possibly $35, 1000, are indicated
by the Investigation of the railroad and
police officials today. So far no tangi-
BILE clew to the identity or whereabouts
of the robbers has been found, but it
seems probable that the men came to
Denver and are now hiding in this city.
The exact amount secured by the
robbers cannot be ascertained. 1t is
known, however, that the registered
mail sack from Colorado Springs to
Denver was empty and that little of
value was in the Pueblo-Denver sack.
The sack from Portland, Colo, to Den
yer, however, contained $500 of money
order funds consigned to the Denver
postoffice.
The robbery was remarkable for its
originality and daring. 1t took place
within eight miles of Denver, within
less than two miles of Fort Logan. the
United States military reservation,
and at spot where habitations are
plentiful. Yet so thorough was the
work of the robbers and so we'll were
their plans laid that they had fully an
hour and half start of the officers.
Search of the vicinity of the hold-up
indicates that third man and possibly
a fourth were engaged in the robbery;
that rubber-tired buggy was in wait
ing for the actual hold-ups and that
torpedoes and red signal fires were
used unsuccessfully in an attempt to
stop the train before the automatic
revolvers of the two men on the train
were used in doing this.

MAY STOP DIGGING.
Secretary Garfield Threatens to Sus-
pend Klamath Work.

pend Klamath Work.
Washington, Feb. 15.-J. Newell,
of the reclamation service, stated to-
day that orders had been issued to shut
down work on the klamath irrigation
project, pending adjustment of differ
ences between the government and the
settlers. This announcement follows
decision by Secretary Garfield that
settlers must pay the annual mainte-
nance charge of rs cents per acre, be-
ginning May next. and must make
ten equal annual payments of So each
per acre for the water right, the first
water payment falling due May !,
1910.
Many settlers have announced that
they cannot pay $50 per acre for water,
but, as this is the actual proportionate
cost of building the project, the secre-
tary cannot accept less. He requested
the Water Users association to inform
him what it is willing to do under the
circumstances, but as it has not made
reply, he felt obliged to stop further
construction until satisfactory agree
ment is reached. The settlers, under
the first unit of the project, which is
completed, Will be furnished water
this coming season, if they pay the
maintenance charge, but, unless there
is speedy agreement. construction of
the Clear lake reservoir will not be
carried forward and the second unit
of the project will remain undeveloped.
Meantime, Engineer Murphy, in
charge of the Klamath project, has
been called to Washington and will be
succeeded by w. w. Slecht.
F. w. Hanna, another reclamation
engineer, has been sent to resume the
preliminary work Of the Malheur pro-
ject and, if the klamath controversy
is not adjusted, work may be concen-
trated at Malheur.

English DUTY Hits Oregon.

Saem-Some local hop dealers are
talking of taking measures to aid in
combating an agitation which has
again started in England to place 40
shilling duty on hops. 1t is claimed
by certain local dealers that this duty
will practically kill the industry in this
country among hop dealers. 1t is said
England practically uses up the surplus
of American hops. 1t is believed that
English brewers will assist in fighting
the increase.

tors and failure to get the agreed price.

Red Man Looked Like White.

Salem-Warren Davis, formerly a
bartender here, has been arrested by a
deputy United States marshal and
taken to Portland. He is charged with
selling liquor to an Indian from the
Chemawa school. Davis contends that
he has no recollection of selling to an
Indian, and as it is understood the red
man in question is so nearly white it
would be difficult to pick him from
Caucasian, his contention is considered
good.
