"The reports such as these, of insnr-

would have held more If they could
have got a good grip ON il. They both
did conscientious work. if there was
such thing, during the entire session.
Steiwer was good debater and Strayer
was the "Sledge-hammer Benton" of
the senate, saying what he meant and
meaning what he said. Wood was a
rapid fire deliverer of the goods in de
bate and Vinton let everyone know that
cold Yamhin'' was there with the
goods. When he whispered he could be
heard n the other house and when he
got going under "high" he made West
Salem lose all desire for the completion
Of the bridge. He usually talked good
hard sense too. Lewis and Leinenweber
were the least talkative except Won der
HELEN, who always surprised with his
vote which generally went the way it
was not expected to go, for while he
was friendly with all, he formed no
close partnerships and was a genuine
free-lanee. Wilbur, one of the best
voiced senators, talked only when he
had something to say and if brevity is
as is claimed, the soul Of wit, he is a
genuine humorist. His words were al
ways listened TO and generally needed.
President Moser made a most excel
lent presiding officer, showing absolute
fairness and impartiality, and on top
of it he made the most dramatic and ef-
feetive speech of the session when he
closed the debate over the Rogue river
fishing bill.
This is a brief portrayal of the char
acteristics of the senators, who have
taken so many steps in the right direc-
ton, but stepped short; so short that if
there is to be any real constructive leg
islation at this session it will have to
materialize before Sunday morning
next, for it is not yet in evidence.

the thrift cor1mittee paid the
