A VICIOUS BILL

House bill No 327 introduced by Olson of Multnomah,
is probably the most vicious example OF special interest
legislation attempted during this session.
It is entitled can Act to declare and regulate the pow
crs rights and duties Of corporations organized to build
booms drive and to catch logs and timber products
therein and repeal all laws and portions OF laws IN con-
flct with this Act
the earmarks of having originated in the office OF mon
opolistc corporation intent upon controlling the timber
lands of Oregon at the expense Of the small individual
owner 1t empowers corporations organized for the pur
pose of driving catching booming sorting rafting or
holding logs lumber or ither timber products to acquire
any and all lands needed for their purposes by condemna
ton; empowers them to "cach hold and assert logs and
timber products with or without request OF the owners
and charge so cents per thousand feet for rafting 5O cents
perthousand feet for asserting with further charge OF
50 cents for storage each six months 1t also permits the
condemnation Of water front or tide lands whenever the
boom company thinks they are needed in its operations

ing control of all the logging streams and water front
lands and evyng tax upon them should they attempt to
log their lands and market the product Several times be-
fore such legislation has been attempted but it has always
met defeat by exposure This time organized effort is
evidently being made to push the measure through with
out its vicious provisions becoming known and before the
individual owners Of timber lands realize that they have
been turned over to the tender meres of the large holders
who will then proceed to freeze them out and buy their
holdings at their own convenience and at whatever value
they may themselves put upon the land when they are
ready to take it over.
1t is bill which no conscientious legislator vote for
and if it does pass it will brand those voting for it

which are active in securing its passage

AFRAID OF THEIR OWN GOVERNOR.

The habit Of religOusy opposing any measure tending
to give the governor any real power evidently became
strongly rooted in the minds of the members controlling
the senate roller during the past twelve years that
they are unable to get out of the habit after their
own party has elected the chief executive.
Although it was commonly conceded that the Clarke
resolution referring to the people constitutional amend
ment giving the governor absolute power to Of
cias from office for non-perfomance of duty was going
step too far in that the official not given his day in
court yet the stubborn soOns refused to listen to the
Der from Linn Senator Garland when he proposed the re-

provide that the governor should have power to suspend
officials for two MONTHS not stopping their pay but put
ting competent man in their place and trying the accused
official in open court
Under the present law the governor cannot remove any
officer without first taking the matter to court 1t is
recognized fact that the new prohibition law will make

MRS THOs. F. BEADLE

A little over a year ago the people
of this community heard the sad news
that Mrs. Yhos. Beadle was suffering
from Tuberculosis and her life was in
danger. Hope that a cure might be
effected, with proper care and atten.
ton, was encouraging, so everything
possible was done in order to win the
fight against the dread disease. Her
progress was not satisfactory, and a
little later she was taken to the Ma
sonic Cottage at the Sanitarium at
Dunseith, where she received the best
that medical science has found in its
efforts to conquer the plague. The ef-
forts were without result, and some
weeks ago her case was pronounced
hopeless. She was then brought to
this city, that she might spend the last
days of her life among her relatives
and friends.
Death came to her relief on Sunday,
March 28th, her father, brother, hus-
band and children being with her at
the last.
Undertaken Washburn prepared the
body for burial, and the funeral SER
vices we're held in the Congregational
church Wednesday afternoon. Fidel-
ity Chapter, o. E. g., of which she was
a member, attended in a body and
and also took part in the services.
Rev. Samuel Hitchcock preached the
sermon. Interment was made in the
Hope cemetery.
Matte Christina Fisher, daughter
of MIR. and Mrs. R. r. Fisher, was
born in Denmark, September 3, 1876.
In 1881 she oame to America with her
parents and settled in Byron, MINI.
While there her mother died, and In
1890 the remainder of the family moved
to Hope, where they have since re-
sided. In 1901 she was married to
Thomas F. Beadle. Five children
were born to them, two Of whom died
in infancy. She vas a member oil
Eastern Star lodge, and was at one
time Worthy Matron. She is survived
by her husband and three children and
father and brother.
Mrs. Beadle has lived in our mids,
a quarter of a century, and was well
known and universally beloved in the
community. She was a quiet, home.
loving person. She battled brayely
in her fight with disease, but when she
knew she had lost the fight she quietly
accepted her fate and gently, but con.
tented]y, and with peace in her soul
smilingly went to join the Father Of
US all.
