she wanted a home.
As to the tales that each had been
telling on the other, Judge Galloway
was Of the opinion that it was but
neighborhood gossip and except that
each was indscreet in talking about
the other should be dismissed as incon'
sequential. The Judge said that Mr.

While there will be no serious oppo.
sition to the bill in the senate it is

be made to amend it so as to make it
absolutely prohibitory.

measure, but all of this had been set.

Representatives Kuehn and Lewis Of
Multnomah county, while those who
voted for the bill under protest were
Representatives Barrow, Of Coos, Hand.
ley, Of TillalmooS, and Jones, Of Wal.
Iowa. The objections to the measure
taken by all Of these members were
that it was not prohibitory in its pro.
visions and represented class legisla'
