Seven Were Dropped.

Seven, so to speak, had fallen before
the committee Is axe. This would make
a saving of the blessed taxpayers mon
sy Of $1,400.
Senator Vinton brought up reinforce
ments and backed EImiek. Senator
Pierce thought "four of kind" was
good enough to stand on and indorsed
the original resolution.
Senator Smith, of Coos and Curry,
was down in the southwest, wanted
the committees to have all the help
necessary, and no more. Few clerks were
needed by these committees just now
and they would not be needed for two
weeks at least. 1t was time enough to
hire them then.
He believed the system was wrong
and that the pressure brought to bear
en- senators to appoint friends political

for extravaganza in this line. He told
Of one lady clerk at the last session
whose only work during it was to take
sare of the baby, belonging to one of
the members of the committee while he
and his wife attended theatre He
added that this work was probably the
reason why this same clerk was allowed
an extra days pay.
Senator Huston said the same fight

was turned down and the state paid in
stead for the work about $4,000.
Senator Dimick opened a rapid fire
argument that the resolution did not
require the clerks to be employed at

Some Little stories and
Gossip of the Legislature


The first scrap in the senate took
place yesterday afternoon when a resO-
luton introduced by Senator Garland
limiting the number Of clerks 10 four on
both the engrossing and enrolling com
mittees, was reported back by the com
mittee on resolutions with substitute
increasing the number to five on each
committee.
The senate had just returned from the
assembly hall where it had listened to
the governors message that was brim-
ming over with economy and it was this
still fresh in the minds Of the senators
that probably was responsible for the
scrimmage.
Senator Garland opened the battle
with a curtain fire of which the prin-
siple munitions were economy and re-
trenchment. Under and protected by
this Senator La Toilette advanced on
the enemies trenches in fierce charge.
Senator Dimick made a counter attack
and pointed out that at the last session
there were eight clerks on the engross-
ing, and nine on the enrolling commit
tees.

Laffertx and the Beavers.

As preliminary to tackling the prOpO-
sition Of having trimming and elminiat-

last half of it, may come in for gen

Assemblyman Lafferty, who is a game
sport, and as his action at the last leg.
islature showed, a good loser, is again
ready to take fall out of this depart
ment. He is interested especially in
the part of the law protecting beaver
ton county where the beaver-dam nuis-
ance is making some of its good citizens
never mention the animals without
referring to the "dam." In fact the
dam qualities the beavers.
Last year Mr. Lafferty introduced a
bill permitting the killing of beaver, in
as many ways as the average district
attorney charges in an indictment for
murder; that is with q gun pistol, axe,
club, cannon, hypodermic injection -
or words to that effect
Senator Gill, at that time a member
Of the house, spoke eloquently and per-
fervidly against Lafferty's measure. He
drew picture of the beautiful little
animal, its silky fur, its eyes black as
an evergreen blackberry, it's graceful
movements-and above all paid tribute
to its keen intellect and its knowledge
of dam building, which equaled that of
an average civil engineer. The more
Gill thought and talked about the cute
little beavers the more enthusiastic he
became. He let his oratorical Pegasus
fly and it flew high; so high that he
ran across the eagle soaring the blue
empyrean his eyes unblinking in the
bright sunlight, far far above all earth
ly things even the High Cost of Living,
and--well Gill's picture was word
painting in wild life that would make
Nnley's state picture gallery of the
birds and animals it protects in order to
kill them, look like second hand junk.
Gill's oratory killed the bill, that is it
and some nice little work on the part
of the commission. Mr.. Lafferty and
the balance of the legislature were told
that when beavers did any damage, the
person whose property was injured
could get permission from the game
warden to kill them.
Assemblyman Lafferty was beaten,
the beavers won. He was a game loser,
though, and took his medicine, that is
the beavers, philosophically.
Pretty soon the beavers got busy on

Delinouent Home wanted.

To provide for the segregation of de-
linquent children from dependent chill
dren while awaiting disposition in the
courts of the large cities, and especially
Portland, a bill is being prepared for
introduction into the house. Although
the date of the introduction has not vet
been set, the bill will probably come up
for first reading some time next week.
The bill provides especially for the es-
tabhshment of what is known in educa-
tional circles as "Parental schools, .
and it is said to have the endorsement
of practically all the prominent educat-
ors of the state. Back of it is Mrs. r.
Z. Bondurant, of Portland, who is well
known throughout the state for her
work in behalf of delinquent children
At the last session of the legislature
she fought the measure taking the con
troll of delinquent children from the cir.

county court, and making the county

Judge t, J. Cleeton, Judge Gatens Wal
ter II. Evans, district attorney of Multi,

many others interested and connected
with the care of delinquent children.
The proposed measure provides that
such schools may be established in
school districts having a population of
$4,000 or over, which practically mar.
rows it down to Multnomah county. The
purpose specifically is to afford place

For Divided Session.

With the resolution introduced in the
senate yesterday by Senator Wilbur, of
Hood River and Wasco counties, that at
the end of 20 days the Legislature take a
recess for 20 days to digest the bills
submitted the question of dividing the
session into two periods of 20 days each
was officially brought to the attention
of the legislature. This proposition
was talked Of considerably before the
session convened and it was practically
certain to come up for consideration be
fore the Legislature was far along.
Representative Martin, of Marion,
had fully intended to introduce such a
bill in the house but on learning that
the matter was brought up in the senate
yesterday by resolution he decided to let
the matter 60 at that. He is heartily
in favor of dividing the session as he
thinks it will have tendency to evolve
better and more sane laws out of the
mass of bills that will come up
The California system of dividing the
legislative session into 40 days for the
introduction of bills, 60 days for digest
ing them, and 90 days for discussion and
passage is in his estimation successfully

useless laws that otherwise might have
slipped by in the hurry and confusion.
When poor legislation is enacted in
the ordinary session, the legislator 3 ex
cuse is that he had no time to consider
the matter. With the proposed division
of the session, the members can take
the bills home with them and cansider
the measure carefully and without rush
and pressure of lobbyists. He can dis
cuss the questions with his constituents
and find out how they stand on the mat
ter, and then come back to the last per
iod fully satisfied how he should vote
and knowing how his constituents wish
him to vote.
Much comment has been heard in IA
vor of the division. That bit would en-
tail very little additional expense is be
lieved and that this amount would be
saved by the enactment of wise and
sane laws.

friends, probably moved by a spirit of
revenge. The friends went TO Lafferty
and Lafferty referred them TO the game
warden or commission. They put in their
Complaint that the beavers were dam
ming the little streams and flooding
their property. Could they kill them 2
Now what they were told we have only
on hearsay, but according to that, per
mission to kill the beavers was most
graciously granted. 1t would require,
however, that when a beaver was killed.
the killer should make an affidavit as
TO when and where the animal was kill
ed, giving the location with regard TO
section, subdivisions or some natural
and prominent object if the land was
unsurveyed. The hide must then be
branded on the inside with the date of
killing, and this hide should be turned
over to the game commission to be sold
for the benefit of the fund. A photo
graph of the dam or dams built by the
beavers, with a blueprint of their run
ways and family pedigree of the de-
ceased must be filed when the skin was
delivered and such other information
as the informer might have. Now this
is not perhaps an exact statement of the
facts. 1t only approximates them, and
it is, as has been said, only hear
say.
But Lafferty is not through. He pur-
poses tackling the beavers in their lit
tie dams-that is he will tackle them in
the legislature-while the beavers are
in their homes. He represents Benton
county and Benton county insists it will
no longer be damned by the beavers or
damned by the laws passed by the da-
that is to say, the legislature.
Lafferty has something up his sleeve.
What it is no one knows-but it is there
1t may be a slung shot or it may be
law providing for an open season for
beavers, game wardens and things; but
whatever it may be, its object will be to
give the dam infested farmer some
rights which even beaver is bound to
respect.
Lafferty may be loaded for beaver,
but you can't tell by the looks Of him.
