HOUSE WANTS TO
WORK FORTY DAYS
UNTIL MARCH 1S1

Salem, Ore, Feb. IA resolution
pledging the members of the legisla-
ture to remain in session for 40 "ac-
tual working days" and setting
o'clock of March 1 for adjournment
instead of February 21 was introduced
in the house. 1t will probably pass
the house. but may strike a snag in
the senate.
1t Is in line with the desire of the
house organization to force an extra
week to the session in which to take
up bills crowded out in the present
scramble.
1t is also desired, 1t is said, so that
appropriation measures may be held
up through the coming week-or un-
til all the measures the passage of
which Is particularly wanted, can be
accomplished.
By holding up these appropriations,
or good part of them, members
could be held in line and the attend
ance of quorum assured. Also 1t is
desired to force the senate to consid-
er more house bills.
1t would not be fair to say that only
organization members in the house
want the extra week, for many others
have so expressed themselves. This

PENNSYLVANIA STARTLED.
Allegheny Valley Lighted Up by
Flash of Giant Meteor.
(Pittsburg Cor. New York Press.)

(Pittsburg Cor New York Press)
The flash of a ten-ton meteor, its
tail seemingly hundreds Of yeards
long lighted up the Allegheny valley
for three miles in the vicinity of Et-
ma. Pa, just above Pittsburg, as 1t
fell recently Residents Of nearby
hamlets ran from their houses in
fright.
1t sank twenty feet above the sur
face. and its heat scared trees and
brush several hundred yards away.
The mass seemed largely metallis
with here and there on its surface a
lavalike formation.
Persons living in nearby towns re-
ported there was a loud explosion
when the mass touched the earth. II
had almost a comet like appearance
as it neared the ground, and descend
ed with a kissing sound.
There was an odor of gas to be de-
tected in the vicinity even this morn
ing. and the report was general In the
early part of the day that a big gas
we'll had been struck in the vicinity.

the speaker of the house and one rep
resentative.
Day, called upon by McCulloch to
explain why the bill does not leave the
Investigation to be made by the state
engineer, made a spirited attack up
on that official. He said he had taken
1t out of the hands of State Engineer
Lewis, for one reason, because Lew
is in his annual repore proposed to
sell 100000 horsepower to be devel
oped at Cello to a foreign corporation
at 50 per horsepower. when the power
is worth $40 to $50.
Further, he charged the state engi-
neer with attempting to intimijate
him. He said Lewis had told him that
If he would not withdraw his bill in
favor of the measure originally drawn
by Lewis, the latter would see that
no legislation at all is put through.
Day said he did not propose to
stand for such insolence on the part
OF a state official, and he wanted the
senate to uphold its dignity by passing
his bill
Neuner argued that the state engi-
neer can make the investigation, al
ready has much of the material, and
is the proper official to be trusted
with that duty. Joseph also spoke for
the state engineer, and said the bill
! looked to him like an effort to provide
job for someone. The bill received
16 votes, just enough to pass it on to
the house.
The bill provides that the legislative
committee may name an engineer
calling on the state engineer for such
advice as it requires. One report is
that w. E. Morris is slated for the
engineering job.

SENATE BARS LIQUOR
FROM DRY TERRITORY

Salem, Ore, Feb. 17.-By a vote of
20 to 9 the senate passed Senator
Calkins' bill prohibiting the shipment
of liquor into dry territory, except for
medical purposes and family use.
Senator Carson said that he object
ed to the bill on the ground that the
senate had consumed four-fifths of its
time considering measures directed
against the liquor interests and scar
let women. He said present laws
were good enough.
Senators Neuner and Patton took
time to explain their votes against the
measure. The others who voted
against it were Burgess. Hollis. Kella-

Mrs. w. C. Palmer of 1115 Fourth

How many realize that almost an

intense the cooking utensils will need

less in width than the height of the
door opening and long enough that it
may be bent n a semi-circle to fit

SUFFRAGISTS
AT BISMARCK
STATE VOTES FOR WOMEN
LEAGUE HELD MEETING At
BISMARCK AND FORMED PLANS
FOR CAMPAIGN BEFORE LEeIs-
LATURE.

Bismarck Tribune: There was a
Of the state organization of
the Votes for Women league in the
parlors of the Mckenzie hotel Wed
nesday morning. There was a good
turnout, and the women, very much
unlike their sisters Of England, were
indeed a very peacable set. But they
are here for results and, judging from
the ~earnestness displayed, they in
tend to camp till the Legislature either
gives them their rights or tells them
they shall not have them.
The meeting at the Mckenzie was
called to order at 10 o'clock by Mrs.
Darrow of Fargo, state president.
There was such a unanimity and
uniformity of opinion that there was
no room for argument and no time
nor necessity for speeches. Fully one
third of the counties of the state were
represented. A committee was APP
pointed from each county to look after
che representatives here and the on
stituents of the Legislature at home,
with a view to seeing that there might
be fair dealing and no sighting of the
measure. Prominent among the dele
gates were Mrs. c.. G.. Boise and Mrs.
Kindred of the Votes for Women
league of Fargo. These women are
deeply imbued with their cause and
are SHLnuSldSllC ."OIhEES.
One Of the most central figures of
the campaign which has been started
here among the legislators is Miss
Jeanette Rankin of Missoula, Mont,
field secretary of the national COM
mittee of the Women's Suffrage asso-
citation. Miss Rankin is a person of
pleasing personality and 4 power in
her work. At the meeting Wednesday,
morning she gave details for the plan
for organization, and made many sug-
gestions which were deemed advisable.
The principal effort is the organiza-
ton of the unit plan which means at
least one committee woman in each
county or precinct over the entire
state, one who will continue on the
job and look after the interests of
the organization. Miss Rankin's pres
,ence caused an enthusiasm which IT
is doubtful would have peer felt had
she been absent.
The wisdom. of the ladies in sending
delegates they have here, is creditable,
for they certainly are of a class Which
makes any argumdnt against their
claims uphill work. They say they
are here to win and if they don't win
they want to know a mighty good
eason why they are denied.
1t. looks like the members of the
legislature would either have to come
across" or take to the underbrush Of
the Missouri river bottom till the. ses-
sion is over, to escape the Vigils Of
these delegates.

cooking may be put to soak in the
morning n while the noon meal Is
being prepared they can be ~par-bolled
and make ready for baking. Put a
sheet Of iron on the shelf first, then
put in the bean pot, shut the door and
allow them to bake until the fire is
fixed for the night. When morning
comes they are ready for breakfast or
they can go IN baking until wanted.
They require watching during the day,
for the fire is usually hotter then than
during the night when the drafts are
off.
Rice, breakfast food, dried fruit,
baked potatoes, soups, p~ot-roasts and
any meats that do not require a quick
fire may be cooked on this shelf. One
must always bear in mind that 1t takes
longer to cook in the furnace, and so
more time must be allowed than on a
gas or kitchen range. After a little
practice and planning o will be sur
prised at all the things that can be
cooked in this way and will miss this
labor saver when warm weather
