McKinney's resolution declaring
employment of incompetent clerks
in both houses to enroll bills and
have secretary of state do the work.
A majority reported favorably to
cut out the clerkship graft on en-
rolled bills.
Jones, of Linn moved to substi-
tute minority report for the clerks
Jones and Clement spoke for the
minority report. The speaker main
tanned the minority report.
Mckinney spoke very earnestly
telling how such incompetence
caused a special session. Such err
rors were costly to the taxpayers
Under his plan the same set of en-
ployes would enroll bills for both
houses.
If this house thought more of it's
petty patronage than it did of rill-
cheney and economy, let 1t vote down
this reform. If it waited to uphold
progress ami honesty and good ser
vice, let them sustain this resolution
Brownhill ably sustained him.
Huntington waited to sustain the
time-honored customs of the leglsla-
ture.
SO did Abbott and Chatten.
Eaton was with Mckinney in spirit
and for the principle. This chair
manship was the only position he
had, and he would have plenty OF
time to attend to 1t. daughter
Adoption of the minority report
carried with the defeat of the Nc
Kinney resolution.
Eaton later offered resolution foI
rules to govern efficiency.

Kiel Germany, Jan. 1.-THE Ger
man submarine "U. 81 went to the
bottom of the sea during a practice
maneuver today Divers from her
parent ship, one of the largest battle
ships of the North Sea fleet, immedi-
ately began endeavoring to loop
chains about the sunken boat. The
full crew was aboard when the sub
marine went down.
As soon as the boat settled the
crew detached the newly invented tel
ephone arrangement, which imme-
diately came to the surface, where it
was picked up by a small boat from
the warship. The officer command
ing the submarine telephoned up
that the boat was all right, and that
the crew had plenty of air. He stated
that the machinery had been dis
abled, and that the submarine would
have to be lifted with chains. There
is air in the tanks sufficient to supply
the men for several hours.

improper position, and related that on
an automobile tour to Cambridge,
o., Mrs. Schenk had told him how
much she loved Phillips.
Wilson testified that once Phillips
and Mrs Schenk left the car while it
was stalled in a country road, and
that they were absent for long time
while he repaired punctuIe. Wilson
was told that Mrs. Schenk was taking
Phillips to a clothier whTe she in
tended to buy him a fur lined over
coat. Phillips did not pay for it.
An inkling of the woman's vanity
came out in the stating by the chauf-
feur of how Mrs. Schenk bought a
diamond stick pin and a hand-painted
smoking jacket for Phillips.
"She wanted Phillips to believe
she painted the jacket" said Wilson,
with a grin.
During the giving of Wilson's testi-
mony Mrs. Schenk regarded him fix
edly, and took copious notes, paying
no attention, however, to the smiles
and winks with which part of his tes-
timony was received by the crowd,
which filled the court roo INTO over
flowing.
Some of Wilson's testimony was
racy in the extreme, and there was
no little amusement when he related
how the defendant had had "spe-
cial nightgown" constructed while
her husband was absent on trip to
Europe.

Senate Passes First Bill.

The senate passed it's first bill this
morning-an act giving to the city of
Portland the authority to issue bonds
for the construction of the Broadway
bridge across the Willamette river.
An election was held under the char
ter of the city to build this bridge,
but one or two obstructionists OPP
posed the issuance of bonds in the
courts on the ground that the pro-
ceedings were illegal. The election
was held under the initiative and it
was maintained that the city should
have secured authority from the
legislature. The case on this latter
point is now before the supreme
court of the United States and it was
to defend itself in the event of an ad-
verse decision that the city asked for
the authority from the legislature.
Become Involved in Discussion.
The judiciary committee asked
that all bills hereafter refer not
alone to Lords Code of Oregons
Laws, when amendments or repeals
are made of existing laws but also
to Ballinger & Cotton's Annotated
Code, and this caused vast amount
of discussion among the senator's.
The committee desired references of
the above kind made in all bills be-
cause but few are provided with
Lords Code of Oregon's Laws while
every lawyer has the old code and by
referring to it as we'll as Lords code,
the laity as we'll as the lawyers would

transacted by the senate. After a

the committee was granted.

MONSTER LAND
SHOW PLANNED

AS the central point of the territory
to be developed, Salt Lake has been
chosen as the meeting place of the
executive committee of the Western
Development association, which on
veps March 20 to marshal is forces for
an industrial battle with Canada and
the great southwest. A stemming of
the continuous tide of immigration
that is pouring north and south from
the crowded sections of the east by
diverting it to the western half of the
continent is the plan.
Ten men, representing the full com
mercial strength of as many states,
will meet at the Salt Lake Commercial
club on that day to organize the cam
paign and to begin the fight.
Working on the principle that what
the crowded east has not room for
r~ightfully belongs to the west, the
association will send out a small
army of representatives to those sec
lions where the Canadian sirens are
singing their songs of foreign soil the
loudest.
Acceptance of the Commercial clubs
invitation to hold its first meeting in
Salt Lake was wired to Joseph f..
Game by j. H. Brady, former COVER
nor of Idaho and president of the as
ISOLATION, and the call for the session
was issued Saturday. The states to
be represented are Utah, Colorado,
Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho, Montana,
Nebraska, Washington, Oregon and
California. These comprise the terri
tory to be widely advertised in the
east.
Form a Union.
The Western Development associa-
tion was organized at the Omaha
land show during January, when men
from all over the west got together
on their W initiative to form a
union of interests against the Cana
dian and southwestern immigration
movements, Joy H. Johnson, w. w.
Armstrong, w. d. Livingston and t.
ID. Ray, of the Salt Lake Commercial
club, representing Utah.
The action thus taken was hailed
with enthusiasm by the entire west
and has since been Endorsed officially
by every commercial organization of
note in the ten states banded togeth-
err in the association.
During the first meeting of the ex-
e~cutive committee here plans for a
monster exposition of western land
products to be held probably at Oma-
ha in 1912 will be formulated. The
exposition will be the biggest of its
kind ever held in the country and will
be maintained solely as an advertise
mont of western opportunities.
Similar methods of drawing the at
~tention of eastern landseekers will be
inaugurated during three years pre-
ceding the Panama exposition at San
Francisco. when hundreds of thousands
will see the west, going to and from
the coast.
Grand Climax
The exposition will form the climax
to an extensive campaign of eo-opera-
tive exploitation of the west as a
whole.
The members of the executive com
mittee who will attend the Salt Lake
meeting are: James Brady, of Idaho,
president; WILDER Walker, of Califor-
MIA, Win A. Campbell, of Nebraska,
Robert N. Lynch, of Washington, f.
