[35 Or.App. 71] LEE, Judge.

Defendant appeals his conviction subsequent to the trial court's denial of his motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction over an information charging arson under ORS 164.325. 1 Defendant contends that under the provisions of Amended Art. VII, § 5(5), Oregon Constitution, the prosecutor must proceed to trial on the same charge on which defendant was bound over to the circuit court by the magistrate. We do not reach this issue, however, because of our determination that defendant's failure to raise a timely objection constituted a waiver.

On July 19, 1977, defendant, who was then, and at all times thereafter represented by counsel, was charged in the district court by a district attorney's information with the crime of arson in the first degree by an allegation that defendant did, on or about July 17, 1977,

" * * * unlawfully and intentionally damage protected property, to-wit: the Washington County Jail, situated at Washington County, Department of Public Safety, the property of Washington County, by starting a fire * * *."

The information showed that defendant was charged under ORS 164.325. No reference was made to any subsection of ORS 164.325 but the language of the information comports with that of ORS 164.325(1)(A ). A preliminary hearing was held; a finding of probable cause was made; and on July 29, 1977, the defendant was bound over to the circuit court.

[35 Or.App. 72] By a second district attorney's information filed directly in circuit court on August 1, 1977, defendant was charged with arson in the first degree under ORS 164.325 which alleged that defendant did, on or about July 17, 1977

" * * * intentionally damage certain property, to-wit: a pair of shoes, by
