SESSION AT OLYMPIA OPENS
Liquor Question Expected to Take
Precedence Over All Others

olympia, Wn., Jan. 1.-THE state
legislature convened here today. It is
overwhelmingly republican.
The liquor question will take preced-
ence over all other measures at this
session.
In November the people adopted
statewide prohibition by the initiative
method. and is scheduled to go dry
January /, 1916. The vets are seeking
a special election before that date
They have drawn up an initiative bill
to be presented to the legislature for
adoption, providing that saloons shall
be abolished, but breweries may con-
tinue to operate and that hotels hav-
ing 80 rooms or more shall have the
right to serve liquor to guests.
Under the law, the legislature is
bound to resubmit this question to the
people, it is claimed, for the necessary
signatures have been obtained. But it
remains discretionary with the law
makers whether there is to be special
election in 1915, or whether the meas
ure shall wait till the regular election
in November, 1916, eleven months af
ter prohibition goes into effect.

WHEAT WILL STAY UP

Commenting on the wheat market
today, c. A. Tenwick stated that in his
opinion the slump Saturday is not to
be regarded as an indication that there
will be a general decline in prices. He
stated that the exports have been so
large that there is probably no sur
plus in the country now, and prices
will continue to be high.
Prices on the Portland market con-
tinue higher than on the Chicago mar
ket. probably owing to reduced cost of
expectation to Europe through the
Panama canal.

ed His school mates thought, when
they saw his head fall forward on his
desk, that he had simply dozed off or
that he was merely day-dreaming, new
er guessing that anything serious was
the matter. But when, upon the sound
ing of the noon recess bell, he con-
tinued in the same position, one Of
his mates, Leonard Yost, tried to rouse
him and then discovered that for per-
haps an hour and a half he had beer
unconscious.

far he has not recovered conscious
ness sufficiently to articulate clearly
or to prove that he is aware of what
is going on. The case is considered
quite mysterious, and the cause OF
the ailment is not known.
