Salem.-The legislature started on
the fifth week Of the session with the
legislative wheels clogged with un-
finished work and unless business is
speeded up during the present week
and the customary flow Of oratory cur
tailed, the usual jam during the clos
ing days is certain to prevail
Practically no important piece OF
legislation received the attention of
both houses during the first four
weeks Of the session. In fact, very
few of the important bills have passed
the house in which they originated.
The big bills were still in the hands
Of the various committees, but this
week most of them will appear on the
calendars and the real legislative bat
ties Of the session may be looked for.
Among the more important meas
ures awaiting final action were Ap-
preparation bills, soldiers bonus, road
bills, irrigation, re-apportionment.
teachers tenure and prohibition.
When the Legislature adjourned over
Sunday a total of 573 bills had been
introduced, 319 in the house and 254
in the senate, and IS bills had passed
both houses and were ready for atten-
ton by the governor,
Sixty Day Session Proposed.
The people Of the state will be asked
to pass upon the question Of fixing
the length Of the legislative session
at 80 days and increasing pay of mem
bers from SO to IS per day, as a senate
joint resolution proposing these
changes in the state constitution pass
ed both houses.
The measure as adopted provides:
THE legislative session shall not ex-
coed 60 days in duration of actual
working days." and that mo bills
shall be introduced after the fortieth
day OF the session, except appropria-
ton bills or bills pertaining to the de-
Tense of the state or nation, except by
unanimous consent Of the members Of
the legislative assembly on roll call"
Game Code Passes.
The Rogue river fish and the game
commission bills have passed both
houses. These bills were In accord
ance with an agreement reached last
November by the commercial inter
ests and sportsmen.
Fishing through the year with hook
and line is permitted in the Rogue
river, and the game bill creates a COM
mission Of five members to be ap-
pointed by the governor. The license
schedule provides: For hunting wild
animals or birds, SO for residents of
the state, $40 for non-residents; for
fishing with hook and line, SO for resi-
dents, or, If nonresident and a higher
rate is required by his own state, then
the same rate as he would have to
pay In his own state; for combination

The sweat was standing on Adams

the pillows. Beulah placed a glass to
his lips. and the doctor told him to
take his time with his story.

made her way through the circle of
men to the side of the bed. She sat
down on the cOverlet and took the
boys hand in hers. 1t mattered not
how many were looking on; he was
her little boy again.
"You will understand, Doctor, and
some of you men are parents" she
began. ALLAN will be twenty-five

USE OF ETHER IN SURGERY
Youthful Dentist Said to Have Been
Responsible for Its Introduction
to General Practice.

While various experiments had been
made with so-called Laughing gas" or
nitrous oxide gas in America prior to
1916, II was some "a years ago that
the first practical operation under
ether was performed in the Massa-
chusetts General hospital in Boston.
and the peculiar part of 1t was that
the sulphuric ether was given, not by
one of the house physicians, but BY
a young dentist who had been experi-
menting on himself and had gone to
sleep for eight minutes. He rushed
over to the hospital and asked a
chance TO demonstrate his discovery.
A man about to have q tumor removed
from his neck gave permission to have
the "new-fangled dope" applied. Den
list Morton went to work and the tn
NOR was removed. The patient open-
ing his eyes after the operation cried.
Gentlemen. this Is no humbug," and
with that remark ether was given TO
the medical world.
Oliver Wendell Holmes came for
ward with names for the process and
the liquid. and the dictionary gained
'anesthesia" and "anesthetic." In
three months the drug was being used
throughout the civilized world.

connecredly, but item by item he told

finally been overcome by the assur-
ance that all he need do was have his
money ready-he was to be under no
obligation TO go any further in the
transaction unless entirely satisfied /;
of the offer wired by the New York
capitalists; of the sale of his farm
for a disappointing sum, and their
journey with the money to the old
shanty up the valley, where they were
TO be met by Rifles and Gardiner and
also. as they expected, by the owner
of the mine, with whom they would
open direct negotiations, producing
the money as proof of their desire and
ability to carry out their undertaking I;
Of how they hoped the owner would
be induced to accept deposit and ac-
company them back to town, where an
option would be secured from him for
period sufficient to enable them to
turn the property over to the New

of how -Harris-wearied by the
long ride I'm the bright. thin air, had
gone TO sleep confidently with Allan
at his side, and of how he had sudden
ly been awakened by a shot and heard
Allan spring to his feet and rush
across the floor of the old building.
Then there had been another shot-a
revolver shot this time-and every
thing was darkness, and he could hear
only something struggling at the door.
TheO he told of his own fight; of how
they had fallen and rolled about on
the rotten floor, and how, in despera-
ton, he had not hesitated to use his
teeth on the hand of his assailant, who
had finally broken away and disap-
peared in the darkness. Then he told
the rest of his story; of his vigil with
Allan, of the loss of the money, of
the capture of Travers, and finally of
the arrival of the policeman on the
scene.
Didn't 1t seem to you a foolish
thing to go into the hills with all that
money to meet man you had never
