Washingtn, the house this morning

ing committee to meet with SINH
lar committees from the two states

The house this morning passed
house bill No. AS, authorizing the
payment of $1,000 in installments

j. Denny widow of the late Judge
0. N. Denny, who imported at an
expense of $45OO the first Chinese
)heasants to Oregon, to be paid
rom the receipts of the game IL
cense fund.
Representative Frank Davey
made an attack upon the measure
IS setting a bad precedent. He de-
Glared that if the state owed the
estate of Judge Denny any money
for expenditures made, it should
DC paid in full, but as he under
stood it, the pheasants were i'm
ported at government expense
