SUIT IS OVERRULED lnda In Clackamaa county In the Oregon A California grant will be aiseiaed at the valuation placed on them In prevloua yeara and not at 12 (0 an acre, the Southern Pacific' eiiilty, aald County Aeor Jack Tuesday. County asaeaaora In thla atate are confronted with a altuation which may remit In the reduction of tha total tppralaed valuation of all taxable prop erty In th itate by about . 10,000,000. The queatlon la whether In view of the recent decision of the 1'nlted State tupreme court, Ihe Oregon a: Califor nia grant landa can be a sinned for taxation, and If these landa can be amesied. whether the property ahall be Hated at the Southern Pacific'! equity of 12. SO, or Hated aa they havei been In the past at valuations ranging, j in thla county, from $5 to 130 an arre. In Clackamaa county alone the ap-j pralaed valuation of these landa I over f 1.000,000 and the tax which would be collected annually would be approximately 130.000. To assess the landa at the railroad' equity would mean lo of many thnuaanda dollar to the county while to leave the lands from Ihe rolla entirely would reduce crlouly the county' Income. The Southern Pacific, however, haa not paid laxea on these landa In the last two years, pending the outcome of the litigation Involving title to the land. Moreover, Ihe road .1 still nn willing to pay. - Joh n. Eaton, member of the tate tax commission, waa In Eugene recent ly and explained to County Assessor Keeney there that the commission had asked the attorney general for an opinion as to whether the landa should be assessed as formerly, or whether they should he assessed for the amount of Ihe railroad's equity In the land. He told Assessor Keeney that he ex pected to receive Instructions at any time. Assessor Jack said Tuesday that he Intended to assess the grant lands at the anmo rate as In previous years and added that he expected to receive In st ructions from the state tax commission.

Cnmphell Monday overruled the demurrer of the defend ants in the Injunction suit of J. W Moffat t against the city of West Unn and gave the defendants 10 days in which to file an answer. The court ruled that the council of West, I.lim, upon the Incorporation of tho city, succeeded to tho powers for merly possesed by he county court in reference to road matters and that whether the particular road which would benoflt only a few people could be legally Improved, would be a ques tion of fnct to lie determined upon trial, as the city charter provides that the road money can only be spent upon the county roads nnd main travoled thoroughfares of WeHt Linn nnd none others could be improved; also that the city must act by ordinance and that grenter care must bo exercised by those responsible for the expenditure of'money in West Linn. The court some time ago enjoined the defendants from executing a con tract covering this rond work. n. N. Hicks appeared for the city, Clarence L. Eaton representing Mr. Moffatt.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex- Aug. 11. Practically every American citixen in the three southernmost counties pf Texaa Cameron, Hidalgo and Starr- is under arms tonight in fear that the overwhelming Mexican population of the aectlon may break out in a racial fight. Disturbances, attributed to Mexican on the international border, spread rap idly today. Rumor of trouble came from widely separated localities, some of them even from Laredo, on the bor der, 200 miles distant from Brown ville. A feature of the day's develop ments was the circulation of a rumor in many quarters that tbe disturbance was an effort on tbe part ot untutored Mexicans to turn back a portion of Texna to Mexican control. This Bchcme, it was rumored, was backed by ignorant Mexicans living on the American side of the Rio Grande assisted by escaped convicts and fugi tives from Justice and also, according to the report, by a considerable num ber of irresponsible Mexicans, both soldiers and civilians, who were said to have crossed the American border from Mexico. Impetus was given the movement, It is believed in many quarters, by bor der political conditions. Rangers in Hidalgo county, pursuing some of the gang which killed an American trooper near Mercedes last night, today were reported to have cap tured a ,'lng bearing the words in Spanish: "Army of liberation for Mex icans In Texns." training school.

He examalced work done In the school observed tbe methods adopted by County Superintendent Calavan. who baa charge of tbe institute, and talked with a number, of the inatructors and then itrongly endorsed every de partment of the work. His only regret. was that the effect of tbe school was not more far reaching. Superintendent ChurcbiU'a talk Is tbe first of a aeries of special lecture arranged for. TJie second talk will be made Friday afternoon by Or. A. H. Shepherd, of the faculty of tbe Uni versity of Oregon, and kis subject will be "New Thlnc In Modern Education." The talk of tbe state superintendent followed general lines. He advised the teachers to learn their course of atudy thoroughly. It waa impossible to prop erly teach without mastering the course in every detail. He cautioned them that they should make their monthly and annual reports to the county superintendent promply and de clared that under no circumstances should a teacher grant an exemption from examinations unless the pupil bad earned, it Superintendent Churchill discussed the reading circle work in the public schools at length, and advised teachers tocooperate with the extension depart ment of the atae unlversiy. He told them that much trouble could be avoid ed by prompt registration before the opening of school. ' He endorsed the standard blgb school course recently adopted by tbe state department of public instruction. The course is a general one and will be taught In all high schools meeting the state standardization requirements. The attendance at the training school is constantly increasing and up to Tuesday night 90 bad enrolled.

Marsters, county Judge of Douglas county, the Btate highway commission yesterday tentatively decided to change the route of the Pacific highway from Roseburg south as far as Medford. The pro posed new route will run in a south easterly direction from Roseburg to the town of Teller and then continue south to Medford. The present route from Roseburg runs in a southwester ly direction through Josephine and ac cording to Judge Marsters will avoid Roberts mountain. By the proposed new route 125 mites or a day's travel by automobile will be saved in reaching Crater lake. With the thousands of tourists that every year go to this natural wonder, it is deemed advisable to change the road. MAYOR TO THE MOUNTAINS Linn E. Jones left Saturday night for Ogle Mountain mine and will re turn either Wednesday or Thursday. Recorder Loder is absent and during the time the mayor is away from the city, Fred Meyer, president of the council, will be acting executive and sit aa police judge in case of any arrests. Following the complaint of Mrs. M. L Foster, owner of property on the southeast corner of Fifth and Main streets, that the public market is sel dom used and that it is a detriment to her property, officials of the Board of Trade admitted Wednesday that they will probably be forced to do away with the market entirely or move it to another location. Mrs. Foster was in town Tuesday to see Fred Meyer, president of the coun ell, who is now acting mayor. Mr. Meyer was not in his office and she told M. D. Latourette that she could see no reason why the market should remain standing, owing to the fact that It was poorly patronized. She also told Mr. Latourette that she thought it detracted from the appearance of her property, the Portland House. J. J. Tobin, chairman of the Board of Trade committee on public markets said Wednesday that tho agreement with Mrs. Foster, secured at the time the market was built was only verbal and that probably no effort would be made to keep the market st its present location. Merchants on north Main street and on the hill have both asked the Board of Trade that the market be moved to their parts of town and Mr. Tobiu said that a meeting ot the board would probably be held within a few days to authorize a change in location. Sev enth and Center streets is one place considered. WASHINGTON. Aug. 6. Armed fac tiona in Mexico are to have one more opportunity to say wbethre they are ready to make an bonest effort among themselves to compose their differ ences. A message expressing tbe concerted demand of North and South America that there must be peace and restora tion of constitutional government, ad dressed to all the Mexican political and military leaders, probably will be dis patched within a few d.ays as one of the first results of a conference at the state department today. In which the six ranking diplomats of the Pan American legation corps participated with Secretary Lansing at the ir sta tion of President Wilson. While the appeal wii be made to all the Mexican leaders, it will be Intend ed especially for General Carranza and his followers, who are opposed to an other peace convention. It was learned President Wilson has been in correspondence with the ex ecutives of the Latin-American lega tions, who have urged that the United States take the lead in a strong posi tion toward Mexico, and in this infor mal way have pledged their support to a Pan-American concert of action. WIFE CHARGES DESERTION Desertion is charged in the divorce complaint of Edna Barry against James Barry. They were married Feb ruary 22, 1912, In Seattle. She alleges that he deserted her wtille they were living at 392 H Belmont street, Port land, in June, 1914. Vo attempt will be made to fliibt tbe quo warranto proceeding of resldenta of the Jennings Lodge district in tbe Gladitone union high achool cae an. I tbe union school district will be dis organized, decided Ihooe back of tho project at a conference Saturday. This decliloa, however, ,doe not mean that all plana for Ihe union blgb school will be abandoned. Rather, this disorganization is planned to get Jennings Lodge out of tbe onion Mkq school district "We feel that Jennings Lodge would aJwB7 be s, thorn In our side," said John N. Slevers, one of the original onion high school boosters, after tbe conference. The residents of tbst section have ihown they would alwsys be opposed to the school snd would cause trouble In the future If we would force them to stay In the district" Mr. Slevers aded that another' elec tion will probably be held In the fall when an attempt would be made to join Gladstone, Parkplace, Clackamaa and probable Stone In ft onion high school district . He aald that H. E. Cross' proposition of donating alte in Gladstone Park would bold good In case a, district was formed of these four commnnitles. Tbe quo warranto proceeding and ft demurrer were to be argued before Judge Campbell Monday but itlpula tlon will be prepared at once and ilgn ed which will amount practically to tbe dissolution of the district. Backers of the union high school did admit Saturday night that the point raised in the quo warranto proceedings that the original petitions did not contain sufficient number of legal vot er would probably have been sus tained when the case was taken Into court. A demurrer filed in the case made a general attack on the entire union high school law as It existed prior to May 22, 1915, when an amendment went Into effect which, corrected the alleged de fect in the law. The plaintiffs allege that one clause of the original law was ambiguous, rendering the entire measure invalid. As the demurrer will not be argued, this point will not be settled. About 100 union high school districts have been formed throughout the state under this alleged defective law. E T0 1 GREET CONGRESSMEN PARTY WILL ARRIVE WEDNESDAY MORNING INSPECTION OF LOCKS IS PLANNED. IF HALF OF TAXES ARE NOT PAID, THEY WILL BECOME DELIN QUENT NEXT MONTH. A rush in taxpaying during the. lat ter part of this month and all of next Is expected by Sheriff Wilson and George Harrlngon, tax collector. Mr. Harrington finds that there is much confusion concerning the state tax laws, which have been changed a num ber of times during the last few years. "If one-half of the taxes on any prop erty for this year, that Is the 1914 tax roll, shall have been paid before the first day of April, 1915, the second half of such taxes may be paid at any time before the first day of October without any Interest or penalty of any kind, but If the second half is not paid by the first day of October, 1915, then a 10 per cent penalty, together with one per cent interest, shall be added," he said In explanlng be new law. "If In case there has been no pay ment or no half payment made before September 1, 1915, then on tbat day there shall be added a 10 per cent penalty and an interest charge of one per cent a month thereafter." Tuesday M. D. Latourette, secretary of the Commercial club, completed ar rangements to entertain the Rivers and Harbors committee of congress August 19, but Wednesday when he re ceived additional information from the Portland Commercial club he was forced to drop bis original plans and by that night has completed arrange ments for the visitors.
