! am advised that the various COM

before your tribunai and l hope that
some acton will be taken without de-

date the people Of this state. .-
It seems to me that the manage
ment of the Oregon roads has lost
sight of the fact that the country is
developing, the population increasing,
and that there is an added demand
for transportation facilities, They
ought to be broad enough men to
look into the future and be prepared
to serve the public properly. If they

article in the Saturday Evening Post
of this week, wherein the work of the
New York commission Is discussed
and among other things accomplish
ed is the remedying of the delays in
railroad trains. l am sure you VIII
find it Of interest because it shows
what has been accomplished in other
states, and l am sure that what mas
been achieved there can be paralleled
here. In my judgment the letter OF
Mr.. O'Brien defeats his own case, be-
cause II demonstrates beyond contro-
versy that his roads are not perform
ing their duties as public service cor
porations and that they can perform
them by the purchase of additional
rolling stock. There are an abund-
ance of factories engaged in build
ing locomotives and coaches and /.
think Mr.. O'Brien will not plead that
his company has no funds with which
TO purchase them.
Yours respectfully,

week proved herself a heroine as wei,
as a fine markswoman by bringing
down large bobcat at the first shot.
Her children had started to school

them stayed to watch it from a dis

house for help. Mrs. Swan being
alone, took a rifle and went with the
child. The animal was still doing,
and the brave woman dispatched IT
With one bullet.

Pres. Anderson Again Named
 Third Ward Alderman.
Council, Succeeding E. L. King, Resigned.

In order to leave no question as to his election, the city council last night reconsidered the vote by which an alderman from the third ward, to fill the vacancy occa stoned by B. T.

King was urged to retain the position, but declined, and after his resignati> had been accepted John Durham was chosen to fill the vacancy, receiving the votes of the five members present.

SENATE VOTES
 FOR EXTENSION
GAIN BILL TO BE SUBMITTED
Senate Kills Statutory Prohibit
 tion Measure
By Amending to Submit to Vote of People at Special Election to be
 Held July IA.

Little Rock, March Io.-Contid- erably on the principle that might makes right, the senate yesterday afternoon voted a second time on reconsideration in spite of the par liamentary rules being to the con- trary. and finally decided to con cur with the house in extending the session for 60 days. During the morning session the senate had voted g to 9 on the reconsid- eration, which could not carry, and the parliamentarians of the sen ate then announced that the onl y way to have an extended session was for Governor Donaghey to is sue a call for an extra session.
 In the afternoon, however, Sen ator Keel moved reconsideration. Senator Pindall argued that the reconsideration could be taken up. Senator Wingo and a number of others took the same view. Sen ator Sims lead the opposition. The matter was finally put to vote and the count showed 2S to 4 in favor of extending the session, and thus having the necessary two thirds of the senate, the concurrent resolu ton previously passed by the house was declared adopted. Those vot- ing against the measures were: Senators Edmondson, Mcknight, Patterson and Yopp.
 Prohibition to be Submitted.
 During the afternoon session of the senate it was decided to leave state wide prohibition to the peo- pie at special election to be held July IA. Soon after the senate started into for business yesterday afternoon, the Gam state wide pro- hibition bill by the legislature was called up. Senator Wingo offered an amendment striking out the provision for the bill to become ef- iective July I, and inserting in its place submission to the people at a special election July IA, and the law to become effective January I. 1910. Senator Wingo stated that he offered this amendment in good

 In the house fierce battle was waged until the time for adjourn ment was almost reached, over the selection of speaker pro tenn in place of Speaker Epps Brown, who left for the afternoon to visit Brinkley and do all he could for his friends in distress there. On the fourth ballot A. D. Dulaney of Little River was chosen over the field. Tillman Parks presided over the election.

An ON Tine Tale

The passing Of A. B. 1863 in the senate
yesterday revived an interesting in
cident in Nevada State history. o. H.
Gallup about twenty years ago was ap.
pointed to fill the position previously
having been filed by the lieutenant
governor. Owing to some transaction
on the part or the lieutenant governor
which did not meet with approval, he
was asked to resign his position as
librarian. He did so and o. H. Gallup
was appointed to fill the vacancy. The
appropriation for paying the librarian
was made in the name of the lieutenant
governor so Mr.. Gallup could not draw
the salary. When the legislature met,
a relief bill was put in for the amount;
but through the influence of the
lieutenant governor, whose place Gallup
had been appointed to fill and who was
president of the senate, the amount was
cut IN two. In this way: Mr.. Gallup
was not fully recompensed for the labor
he had performed. =
AT this time, Mr.. Gallup is old and ill
and i'll need of his rightfully earned
money and the legislature so saw it
and after all these years. the relief has
been granted Mr.. Gallup thus proving
that all things come to him who waits.
