1t was busy day in the senate, but
one devoid of anything that made it IN
teresting to the onlookers. A message
from the house concurring in S. J. r. 5,
and that it had adopted H. C. R. l
asking George +. Thaeher to show pie
lures relating. to the feeble minded. The
senate decided it was a good thing to
see the pictures and appointed com
mittee to act with the house committee
in arranging for the same. Reading Of
the minutes had been dispensed with
as a starter S. R, 30 by Pierce amend
ing resolution II was. adopted. 1t pro-
vides that when a senator was absent

and extending privileges to wives and
widows reported back favorably.
An invitation was received from the
officials Of the University of Oregon,
1.-THE city of Euge.;e and the chamber Of
commerce to visit the university at
some date convenient to the legislature.
This stirred some discussion, Strayer
| objected as the senators should stay
| with their work and attend to duty.
Smith of Coos and Curry thought it
would be good thing if the senate
put in every Saturday visiting some
state institution and finding out what
became of the peoples money. Pierce
wanted the visit made. The people are
not worrying about what we don't do
its what they are afraid we will do
that makes them sit up and worry. La
Toilette objected but Baldwin favored
| it Wood thought the visit would be all
right if members would not spend any
greater sum on the university on ac-
count of it.

pretty girls and the great feed but the
invitation was accepted.
