report is now before the house
and it is said it will be adopted
as soon as a vote can be taken.
The majority leaders are striv-

delay for debate. Early action
on the measure will doubtless
be taken and the next step will
be for the senate and house
committees to agree upon a
Joint measure.

THE LAND GRANT BILL

~ HE o. & c. land grant bill
W is now coming to a head
in both houses of con-
greSS. The senate sub-commit-
tee has authorized Senator
/ Chamberlain to draft his 40
/ 30 provision for submission to
the senate. 1t is indicated that
the Chamberlain bill may sue
coed in the upper house.
In the house the 40-40 cham
pions are having a harder time.
Despite all that Congressman
Sinnott can do it is probable
the house will not stand for
more than 20 per cent for the
irreducible school fund and 80
per cent for roads for the land
grant counties.
A feature of the situation in
the house is the fact Sinnott
seems to have virtually a lone
fight to wage. Hawley, though
now supporting the 40-40 plan
has in reality been in OPPOSITE
on and desired legislation along
different lines entirely. Con-
gressman Macarthur while in
line on the 40-40 plan seems to
have figured very little in the
fight. In the senate Senator
Lane seems to have done moth
ing in aid of the Chamberlain
bill though it is possible this
statement is unjust to the SEN
ator.
1t is regrettable that the
Oregon delegation has not
made a consistent, united fight
for the Chamberlain bill. How.
ever the division in the dele
cation but reflects the division
within the state itself. Our
state forces have not put a COM
mon shoulder to the wheel up
on this subject and the fact will
probably show in the final re-
suits.

the legislation it demanded already

as full of menace and danger.

"My objection to the nomination Of

it as bad in every way, even vicious

IMPORTANT. WITNESS
IN 0RPET CASE
Chum of Marian Lambert Takes
the Stand in Thrilling
Trial.

Waukegon, Ill.,, June 1.-THE most
important witness in the Orpet case,
unles the defendant testifies, took the
stand today. She was Josephine Da'
Wis, chum of Marion Lambert, the
school girl for whose alleged murder
Will H. Orpet is on trial here.
Miss Davis, still a school girl, talk
ed simply, directly and with studied
precision. t%~
Miss Davis had been regarded as
the states witness, but it developed
that she had been living with friends
in Chicago for the past six weeks and
had not seen Mr.. Dady Of the prosecu-
tion for the past six weeks.
The testimony given by Miss Davis
today differed in some instances from
that given before the grand jury, but
she asserted that in the time which
has passed since the first examina-
ton, she remembers some things in
