NO CLUE FOUND TO
MISSING BILL NO. 375
1t Has Disappeared and Dill
gent Search Is Still
Unrewarded

No clue as to the whereabouts of
house bill 3T5, the now notorious
bridge bill, has been found by Chief
Clerk Fred Drager, Representatives Al
Jones and Charles Elgin, who have
been searching high and low, through
the mass of bills that they have on
hand in the speaker IS room, and every
place they think it might be hidden.
Even Senator Bishop was up TO the
state house this morning trying to find
a solution to the mystery.
1t is the opinion of Chief Clerk
Drager that the bill may be among the
many papers that have been gathered
up and sent to the various members of
the house, and he has hopes that when
this stuff reaches the representatives
that it will be found. Should it be
found, he believes he would have au-
thority to revise it in accordance with
the record of the journal and present
it to the governor with the signatures
of Speaker Stanfield and President
Moser and that it would be as legal as
if presented while the house was in
session.
Must Be Found First
He bases his reason on the ground
that he and his clerks, under the super
vision of Representative Elgin, are
authorized to revise and correct the
journal and carry out the will of the
house. They have twenty days in
which to do this. If the bill is found
within that time he believes it can be
presented to the governor, and that
will then be up to him either to sign,
veto, or let the measure become law
automatically.
When the session closed, the members
were not allowed to clean up their
desks. The doors were locked and the
ianitors packed up each representatives
stuff and shipped it to him. In this
stuff, the chief clerk believes the bill
may be hidden.
If it is not found, the opinion is
held that because the chief clerk is
there to carry out the will of the

house that he could present a bill with
the same wording to the governor for
his signature. Although the attorney
general has given no indication as to
what his opinion in the matter is, he
has gone into the case thoroughly.
Forbes Has Not Seen It.
Representative Vernon A. Forbes,
who was chairman of the conference
committee to which it is believed the
bill was sent, when it was implied that
he was holding the bill, denied know
ing anything whatever as to its where
abouts. He states his side of the mat
ter as follows:
Il never had the bill; it was never
handed over to me, and they never
can show my receipt for it. After the
refusal of the house to concur in the
senate amendment, conference com
mittee was appointed, of which was
chairman. 1 left the matter with Al
Jones. He prepared the report giving
the results of tne conference and
signed it without going into the com
mittee. ! believe that Representatives
Jones and Fuller, the other members
of the committee from the house, will
verify my statement.
"After the adoption of the confer
ence report by the house and the SEN
ate, the president of the senate and
the speaker of the house should have
signed the bill and sent it to the gov
ernor. If either of these acts or all of
them were not done, I believe that the
authority still rests with these officials
to perform their duty and end the

Chairman Campbell. and Commission
ers Corey and Buchtel. of the Oregon
nublie service commission, are in Vale
today and will be in Heppner March
to hold hearings on train service. They
viii be gone from Salem all the week.
An order issued by the public service
commission this morning compels the
Pacific Telegraph and Telephone COM
pany at Tiliamook to connect with the
Tillamook Coun.y Mutual Telephone
company for the purpose of long dis
tance telephoning. Complaint was filed
against the Pacific company charging
it with practices unreasonable and un-
justly discriminatory in that it refused
physical connection. A hearing was held
on January IL, 1917, in Tillamook. The
order goes into effect ON March 10,
1917
Long distance connection only was
desired and there was a general demand
for such service. The Pacific company
challenged the constitu tionality of the
act under which the action was brought
1t declared that it adequately served
the ,erritory and that if it was com
PEELED to connect with the Mutual COM
pany it would lose its weapon to fight
in competition and so lose subscribers.
The commission stated that it believ-
ed the contention of the company that
| it is in a position to furnish adequate
service to all at reasonable rates was
not well sustained. 1t also found that
the need for the connection was i'm
perative and public necessity. 1t or
dered that Mutual company install a
connecting plant at its own expense
and that a charge of ten cents for each
long distance call should be made. Also
that each company was to remit to the
other company for each interchanged
call the sum of five cents.
Articles of incorporation filed this
morning with the corporation commits
sioner are as follows:
The Multnomah Development com
pany with a capital of $1,000 to deal in
real and personal property. The office
is in Portland and the incorporators
are Ben Riesland, N. H. Atehison and
George w. Gearhart.

Response Is Hearty, But Need Is Great to Provide for Our Soldier Boys" Says Mrs. T. O. Smith,
 Chairman of the Big Red Cross Knitting Campaign

continued. That means 12,000 garments, and while there is no specified time in which they must be finished, the work should be done before the first cold weather sets in We are expending s9oO0 for wool alone in this district. This we give to our knitters. All We ask is that the women come and knit If they don't know, we will teach them. We want everybody to knit something If 1t is only one pair of socks. And, by the way. I heard recently that our American soldiers have a little superstition about their socks. There's a certain kind that some women are knitting with the little clocks up the side-and some of our sol- diers think If they wear pair of socks like that. no harm will come to them.
 Mrs Mathis came in to see us few days ago. Mrs. Smith said "and she is going to organize for us all through the country districts. She says that many of the women are anxious to spin their own yarn and then knit it into socks and sweaters. This is splendid thing, be- cause wool is very hard to get now one account of the blankets, uniforms and alIA sorts of things that must be made from it for the soldiers. In fact, the yarn milIs find it almost impossible to fill any or- ders for us There is plenty of room for everybody at Red Cross headquarters and plenty of wool so far, and we extend a cordial invitation to all to come and join us in knitting for our boys"

Hundreds of thousands of the foreign soldiers contracted tuberculosis last year, Mrs. Smith said, her solicitude and sincerity gleaming through the kindly light of her sympathetic eyes and voice as she spoke, "and think how much of that might have been prevented After all, if sending a few articles to our boys will save just one soldier we may feel that we have not worked in vain. Pre- vention, after all, is better than the cure, and if we start our boys off well equipped, warmly clad, their chests and bodies protected by warm clothing, then much of the dreadful exposure they otherwise would be in danger of will be eliminated.
