LUBBOCK COUNTY BETTER
THAN COOK FOR ALEX WEAVER

Alex Weaver, one Of the men who
came from Cook county to make
farming pay on the plains, was here
Saturday, and said that he is now
throughly convinced that the Lubbock
contry offers the farmer better ad-
vantages than any other place he had
ever seen. He has a reputation for
being a hard worker and good man
ager and il is certainly being proven
in the crops he is harvesting this
year. There is only one thing that
viii keep a man from making money
on the plains. and that is too low
prices for what is raised" he said.

June Election
Now Depends On
Action of House

Prospects are good for another
June election in Oregon. All that
is necessary now to the opening OF
the polls for the voters at a special
election this year is the concurrence
of the house in the action taken by
the senate in passing Senator
Joseph's bill providing for an cleo
ton on June 9TH. and after that
the approval of the governor.
All OF the bills referred to the
people by the present legislative
session will be UP for action at this
time. principal among these and
the only real excuse for II special
election will be the soldiers bonus
bill on which the ex-service men
are anxious for an early decision.
Numerous county salary bills which
bear the referendum clause will
also be checked up to the people
ut the same time.
The Joseph bill carries an appro-
priation of $4,000 to cover tie eX-
penses of the election although III
approximate $l00 900, the major
portion of which will be borne by
the several counties in which local
measures will be UP for considera-
tion.

House Refuses
Protest Place
On Its Records

A futile effort was made Mon
day afternoon in the house of rep
resentatiVes by representatives
Orin r. Richards and Walter q.
Lynn of Mutnomah county to get
their formal protest against the
passage of the teachers tenure bill
into the house journal.
The basis of their objection was
that the bill had gone to final
vote without the printed contents
of the document having been on
the mem bers' desks at least three
days before the vote was taken,
ard that there had peen no sus-
pension of the rules.
Speaker Bean held that the two
members had slept on their rights
in not making protest at the time
the bill was called up for final
action, and that after the house
had passed the bill and 1t had
gone TO the senate, the members
Of the house themselves must de-
eide whether or not they would
have the formal protest entered
On the house journal. BY over
vote the house refused
o have such entry made.

Bill
Raising Pay of
Governor Wins

The senate Monday afternoon by
vote of % to 7 went on record as
'avoring an increase in the salary
If the governor from $4,000 a.
1880 year.
The bill providing for the pro-
posed increase came in from the
committee on county and state Of
tIcials without recommendations
and was placed on third fealin9
through suspension of the rules.
Senator Lachmund, author Of the
Dill, in advocating its passage 49,.
clared that it was "a notorious fact
hat the salary of the governor was
entirely inadequate to meet the
many demands made upon that Of
ficial."
Lachmund called attention to the
fact that the members of the su-
preme court were better paid than
S the states chief executive. The |
action of the senate in granting tOi
the state superintendent of banks
a salary increase to $4,000 year
Or $1,000 more than is now received /
by the governor was also ompha-
sized by Lachmund.
Senator Ritner in speaking in be-
lalf of the bill pointed out that its
would preclude any mem
'er of the present Legislature from
in the increase Even
