LEGISLATURE BADLY SWAMPED

How to make consolidation consolidate is what is puz-
zng the two committees of the legislature There
many proposed consultations that there is liable to be
hiatus in legislation far these measures are con-
cened For each proposal there backers and there
many suggestions that many of the proposed
solicitations clash. One would combine half dozen de-
partments under head, while another would have
different idea to how these should be combined There
many of Just such cases before the committees
and of they cannot all have their way The result
is expected be about the hottest clash in both houses
when the committees report that has up far. 1t
may be that among the multiplicity of doctors the patient
may escape and struggle along under the present
rangements. There but eleven more days in which
the legislature act and if the Of bills piled up
is to be cleared in that time it will require less talk and
quicker action few duck and pheasant bills such
took up several hours in the senate Friday will cut
big hole next week. and there at least two of these
bills yet to be thIeshed out No bills be in
troduced in the house except by unanimous consent but
they be introduced in the senate until Tuesday night
With than six hundred bills to act on five hundred
of which yet before the two houses it will that
will require the getting rid of bills at the rate of nearly
fifty day in each house for the remainder of the session
One thing is dead certain and that that bills reported
from the committees will have to be in better shape than
those far reported there will be queer old laws
placed upon the statutes and there will be many bills that
will die in the committee rooms.

Oregon Creamery
Managers Failed To
Organize Yesterday

Oregon creamery managers in session
yesterday failed to organize and the
meeting adjourned with but little pros
pects of the managers coming together
again.
prepared copy of bylaws and con
stitution was read but failed to receive
the approval of the managers as the
general opinion was that the joker in
the constitution tied the valley cream
cries to the Portland interests.
The committee recently appointed to
interview the Portland interests as ia
market regulations reported that the
Portland interests agreed that cuDe but
ter prices should be the basis Of quo
tationS for butter with the butter fat
quotations fixed upon varying scale in
relation to cube butter. This was sat
isfactory to the country managers but
the Portland interests insisted on tying
up country creameres whereby they
agreed to ship their butter to Portland
to be sold by Distinguished party.
\. Slaughter pointed out the fact that
heretofore when there had been an ad-
vance in cube butter in Portland, there
was no corresponding advance in but
ter fat. In fact there was a feeling
that the Portland interests were intent
on getting the upper hand of the coun,
try managers and majority of the
managers with \. Slaughter left the
meeting.

Buesnos Aires, Feb. "a Pernap,-
bueo dispatch today quotes Belgian
consular clerk as declaring that the
British cruisers Glasgow, Amethyst and
Kent sunk the German raider in for
ty minute naval engagement.
The story is unconfirmed from other
sources.
According to thh Peihambuco re-
port the three British cruisers laid
clever trap for the raider. Her where,
ab0uts being rumored in cetain To-
cality, off the Brazilian coast, q Brit
ish freight ship was used as a bait with
which to draw the sea rover ON. The
warshiPs kept just out of sight of the
bait, which steamed slowly into the To-
cality where the raider was supposed to
be. The German sighted the freighter,
ordered her to stop and formally TOOK
possession.
But by this time the freighter had
wirelcssed coded message and within
a short time the three powerful cruis-
ers were within range of the captor. A
running fight ensued,
According to the Belgian clerk the
cruiser Amethyst was greatly damaged
in the fight, but the raider was sunk
with her entire crew.

pared to believe anything that anybody
tells me about the gall OF parents who
regard the world as their brats oyster.
But m not quite prepared to believe
that Ivan 6. MeDaniels Of Salem, Ore,
was pulling anything but monumental
joke when he wrote to the Mayor Of
Salem, Mass. Probably you have read
something about that letter. 1t has been
batting about in the newspapers for
some days Anyhow McDaniels, who is
manager of the Salem commercial club,
submitted to Mayor Benson the propO-
sition that, since Sale, Oregon, had
spent a lot of money advertising itself,
and since it developed that Salem,
Mass, was getting the benefit of the
former S expenditures through con
fusion of the two towns in the minds
of the American public, it would he no
more than right for the Massachusetts,
berg to change its name.
Mr.. McDaniels probably feels much
the same parental affection for his
hustling citylet as was entertained by
tAiN iAtpNhNA VI NhN tNb NiNethNbo diluNN -
But even at that l doubt me greatly
whether he really expected that Salem,
Mass, the home of the witches, the
mother of all the Salem family in the
United States, would rename itself.
suspect Mr.. McDaniels was out to get
some advertising that wouldn t cost
him or his town nickel. 1t was a
press agent stunt of the first class it
you ask me. Right now II bet you that
you didn t know, a week ago, that
there was such town as Salem, Ore
gon. | didn t, l II frankly admit. Meth
cr did thousands and thousands of folks
in this section of the country. And they
have the impression that Salem, Ore
gon if bit Grass and unfinished around
the edges, is T. live wire of high volt
age. If it is good thing for town
TO have this impression become general
then | should say that Mr. McDanieIs
had put a good one over on the mayor
of Salem, Mass, who took the bait,
hook, line and sinIler, and wrote a
sufficiently scathing rebuke to the Ore
gon man for his presumption.
But that doesn t make Mace gall
any the less. indeed | don't know but
it shows it to be the greater.
