Judges of the supreme court found
friends in the house when the bill
came up giving them raise of $3.50
a year. Their present salary is $4,000
an dthe house passed the bill allowing
$3.50.
On the salary raise for the supreme
judges, the Marion county delegation
voted as follows: Martin, absent;
against the raise, Looney, Hughes,
Weeks and Speaker Seymour Jones.
"We are going strong ON these salar-
les when men going into office know
just what it will pay" declared
Speaker Jcnes when he voted against
the raise. "I am opposed to giving
supreme judges salary greater than
the amount received by the governor.
These men know what the office would
pay when they sought it. Of course it
would be rather embarrassing for a
lawyer to vote against the bill.''
A bill that will doubtless become a
law is one passed by the senate and
by the house yesterday, providing for
female attendants for those taken to

The house favors the idea of Ma
rion county going after its gophers,
moles and graydiggers 1t passed the
bill and as this is what Marion county
seems to want, the chances are good
for it becoming a law along in the
middle of May, as no law goes into
operation until 80 days after the gov
crnor signs, unless there is an emer-
gency clause. Anyhow, 90 days after
the governor signs, gopher and mole
scalps will be worth 10 cents while
the honest graydigger stays at the
same old price of five cents. Marion
county each year has about $4,000 to
pass over the counter for such scalps.
Along with other states, Oregon is
wrestling with the boxing proposition.
All agree that the returning soldier

Following that in quick succession
he was made assistant attorney, and
then in 1901 became first vice presi-
dent of the Louisville and Nashville.
He was thirty-one years old. and
among the youngest railroad execu-

Louisville and Nashville in 1904 to
engage in general law practice in New

The following year he was made
chairman of the Santa Fe executive
committee of the board, and re-
manned as such until 1915. when he
was selected as chairman of the board
