the Knterprlse saloon here, and Eugene
Wright, whose name was connected with
a recent Portland robbery. informed
seven Japanese section hands on this di
vision that their presence in town was
no longer needed-.
These two men, it Is said, were made
spokesmen for a mob of between EO and
SO which went to the Japanese bunk
house last Saturday night to rid the town
of the little brown men.
The plot, it is said, was hatched 'in the

They informed him of their designs,
and told him to remain inside the house

then went out to a lot adjoining the
bunkhouse, located southwest of the de
pot, and it is said tired sereval shots, after
which the spokesmen went up to confer
with the Japanese, while the rest of the
crowd remained In a field away from the
house.
At first the Japanese were reluctant to
go. but when told that they might be
rotten-egged, stoned or blown up. they
very willingly consented to leave, and
went to Portland on the overland train
about noon Sunday.
"The mob wanted, the Japanese to pull
right up and leave immediately." said
Station Agont S. T. Johnson, "hut the
Japanese argued the case and were final
ly told that it would be all right if they
went before Sunday night. The Mayor
came to us and said that If they would
stay, he would see that they were pro
tected, if he was compelled to Jeopardize
every good man in the town.
Mayor Stands Firm.
"I told the Japanese what the Mayor
eaid, and that 1f they would stay I
would see that they were not interfered
with. They were afraid, however, and
left. I had telegraphed Superintendent
Fields about the matter and he replied
that the railroad company would furnish
full protection.
"The mob was largely composed of
Jioodlums. I do not think any section
hands were among them, although there
possibly was one. The sentiment of the
responsible people of the town is to
petition the railroad company to take the
Japanese away when they seriously
compete with white labor.
"I do not believe the sentiment against
the Japanese is any stronger here than
elsewhere on the Coast, as it Is strong
throughout the west.
A. Schwabauer. section boss at Wood

accepted.
He said on his return tonight that the

NOT IMPORTANT, THINKS AIBA
Japanese Minister Will Not Report
Wootlburn Incident.
T. Alba, local Japanese . vice-consul.
declared last night that he probably
would not report the AVoodburn incident
either to the Japanese Minister of Wash
ington or the home office. He said that
as yet he has made no investigation but
that if the facts are as represented by
the newspapers he should not consider
the affair of much importance.
"From what I have been able to learn
so far. and according to the reports in
the newspapers the Japanese boys were
willing to leave Woodburn and they have
all secured other employment. While
they were threatened there was no vio
lence and the white men who declared
they would drive out our countrymen
were drunk. All that must be taken
tinder consideration.
"You must understand that at the pres
ent time I cannot tell what I will do as
I have made no Investigation. Prac
tically all I have learned came through
the newspapers."
JIOVSE PASSES DAIRY BILL,
Measure Creates Two State Offices;
Annual Cost $3000.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 11. (Sneclal.)
With but six negative votes, the House
this morning passed Beals' bill provid
ing for the appointment by the State
Food and Dairy Commissioner, of a
cheese and dairy inspector and a
creamery and dairy commissioner.
These appointees are to receive an an
nual salary of 11500, and an allowance J
of $1000 per annum for traveling ex
penses. The bill was favorably con
sidered by the House in committee of
the whole with Rodgers, of Marion, In
the cair.
Campbell inquired if the House was
not getting away from Us policy of
economic legislation by proposing the
creation of two additional offices. Be
sides, he considered the bill unconstitu
tional, because it appeared to embrace
two subjects. .But his opinion in this
regard was ruled upon adversely by
the Speaker. Perkins, Beals, Burns and
Chase then spoke for the bill.
"I recall that it was but a few days
ago," said Beals, "that the gentleman
from Clackamas and Multnomah offered
no objection in the consideration of the
general appropriation bill when an item
of $8800 was appropriated for the pro
tection of the game of the state. I
should like to inquire if the dairy in
dustry of the state is- not of sufficient
importance to warrant the expenditure
of $5000 per annum for its protection
and betterment?"
Chapin spoke for the -bill, and said
it had been indorsed by the State Dairy
Association. Jackson did not think that
one visit annually to the different sec
tions of the state, required of these
officers, would prove sufficient to be of
any value to this industry. Newell
and Jones, of Lincoln and Polk, urged
the enactment of the measure in behalf
of the dairy interests of the state.
A vote being taken, ' but six
votes were cast against the measure.
as follows: Campbell, Dye, Huntlev.
Jackson, Jones of Clackamas , and
Purdy.
NORMAL ISSUE IS DODGED
COMMITTEE SENDS APPROPRIA
TION BILLS TO HOUSE.
Provides for Drain, Weston and
Ashland Recommends $100,00 0
for the Seattle Exposition.
SALEM, Or.. Feb. 11. (Special.) Among
the appropriation bills favorably reported
to the House this morning by the com
mittee on ways - and means were those
appropriating $100,000 fcr an Oregon ex
hibit at the Ala-ska-Yukon-Pacific Expo
sition at Seattle: for the maintenance
and support of normal schools as follows:
Drain. $27,000; Weston. J.-o.wO. and Ash
land $40,000, and $ir,o.000 for additional
buildings at the State Agricultural Col
lege at Corv-allis. Members of the com
mittee, in the absence of any specific
Instructions from the two houses as to
what appropriations should be made for
the support of the normal schools of the
state, concluded favorably to report all
of the bills carrying appropriations for
these institutions back to the legisla
ture and let the subject be disposed of
in the two houses on the merits of the
claims of these schools and in accord
ance with such legislation bearing on
the subject as may he enacted.
Considerable opposition developed in
the House this morning to the bill by
Representative Edwards, which proposes
to transfer all moneys received from the
United States from forest reserves to the
school funds of the different couiTtes,
and providing that the per capita tax for
school purposes be raised from $6 to $S.
After several attempts had been made to
get the bill shelved, it was finally re
ferred back to the committee on judiciary
for amendment. Edwards made a strong
plea for the passage of the bill in the
interest of increased advantages to many
districts in the state that are now un
able to hold more than three months'
terms of school annually. Barrett of
Washington opposed the bill because It
would increase by $12,000 annually the
taxes in his county. Dobbin actively at
tacked the measure for the reason that
It would divert from the treasury or
Wallowa County about per annum
that is now received from the Govern
ment for grazing privileges within the
forest reserve in that county.
Campbell raised the question of the
constitutionality of the bill, since the title
embraced more than two subjects that
were not germane. A motion to have the
till rereferred to the committee on re
vision of laws was unsuccessful, as was
also the motion of Indefinite postpone
ment by McCallon. After Jackson had
argued In support of the bill, a motion
to refer the measure to the Judiciary
committee for such changes as may he
considered necessary to make -its consti
tutionality unquestioned, prevailed.
The joint committee appointed to inves
tigate the Patton Baby Home at Portland
today submitted a report complimentary
to that institution and the work it is do
ing. The report includes a recommenda
tion for an adequate appropriation by the
state, that needed Improvements may be
made at the Home and for its further
maintenance.
Representative Newell's bill to prohibit
public officers from conniving at and In
any way allowing violation of the criminal
statutes of the state or criminal ordi
nances of a municipality was favorably
ieported by the committee on revision of
laws in the House today. The purpose of
the bill is declared to be to prevent ob
struction of justice, and heavy penalties
are prescribed for all violation.
Representative Barrett of Umatilla dis.
played his scrapping proclivities in the
House this morning when he secured the
reference again of two of his bllli that
had been adversely reported from the
committee to which they had been re
ferred. One of the measures provided
more stringent measures for the extirpa
tion of Russian and Canadian thistles and
the other related to stock running at
large in Eastern Oregon counties.
The House committee on claims this
morning reported Speaker Davey's bill,
appropriating $100,000 for the reimburse
ment of Indian War Veterans for the use
of their horses during the Indian wars
of 1S55-6, recommending that the amount
of the appropriation authorized therein
be reduced to $50,000. The report of the
committee was adopted.
Committee on medicine and pharmacy
in the House today favorably reported
Senator Smith's bill for establishing
and enforcing quarantine regulations In
this state.
Favorable report has been made by the
House committee on penal, reformatory
and charitable institutions on the bill of
Senator Kay providing for a revised sys
tem of credits to be used in reducing the
terms of convicts in the State Peniten
tiary as a reward for good conduct.

PUZZLE TO SOW
Banking Law Causes Law
makers Much Tribulation.
CONFLICT IN ARGUMENTS
State Regulation Is Opposed by
Vltra-Conservatives as Well as by
Irresponsible Bankers Legis
lators Are Seeking Light.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 11. (Special.)
whether the state banking law shall
be a near approach to the National
Banking act or a much more lenient
measure, is the issue now being discussed
by those members of the Legislature and
of the banking fraternity who are taking
an interest in Haines' Senate bill 10S. The
bill was drawn by a committee of bank
ers who believed in the enactment of a
law lenient in Its provisions, and then
amending the law from time to time as
experience disclosed a need for it. Though
not very 3trlct in its requirements, the
bill met the opposition of some who
asserted that it was too exacting in its
terms, and who, in reality, oppose any
state banking law. On the other hand it
met many criticisms from those who
thought it too loose in its provisions,
and who would make it conform more
nearly to the Federal law.
There are some private bankers who
oppose a banking law of any kind.
Among them is A. Bush, who conducts
an institution recognized as one of the
solidest banks on the Coast. He has
always run his business in a conserva
tive manner, and without any interfer
ence from the outside. He wouldn't like
to have any young bank examiner coming
around to look over his, books and tell
him how he should run his business.
There are also some proprietors of banks
who have been doing business upon prin
ciples far removed from safe banking.
They do not want the banking act.
Want a Mild Measure.
Proprietors of private banks generally
are willing that the law should be enacted
but they do not want it very stringent.
Bankers who are doing business under
the National act. or who have become
accustomed to viewing the banking busi
ness from the standpoint of the National
act. want the state law to include many
precautionary provisions that the private
bankers do not consider necessary.
Senator A. J. Johnson, who served for
some nine years as National Bank Ex
aminer, wants the state bank examiner
to be vested with power to close a hank
whenever, in his opinion the conditions
warrant such action. The bill proposed
by the. committee of bankers provides for
closing a bank only upon authority from
the Board of Banking Commissioners,
thus guarding against hasty and ill
advised action. The Senate Committee on
Banking has acquiesced in the sugges
tions made by members of the execu
tive committee of the State Bankers' As
sociation, with a view to making the
bill more stringent in several particulars.
The bill as introduced limited loans to
one person to 25 per cent of the capital
stock with an exception in case of
loans on real estate or collateral security
of value equal to the loan. The com
mittee has agreed to amend the bill so
as to make the 25 per cent limit applic
able to real estate loans also.
The Haines bill.as Introduced, required
each bank to keep on hand cash or
balances due from other banks or cheeks
on other banks, a reserve equal to 15 per
cent of demand deposits and 30 per cent
of time deposits. In Portland the reserve
must be 25. per cent of demand and 10
per cent of time deposits.
Will Amend the Bill.
In response to the request of men who
desire a more stringent law. the com
mittee on banking has decided to amend
the bill so as to require that at least
one-third of the reserve must be cash
in the vaults. This amendment is op
posed by some of the Portland banks and
by some of the banks in the Interior.
Some of the small Portland banks claim
that this 5 per cent cash reserve is more
than is necessary. The interior banks
say that it would not be safe for them
to carry so much cash in their vaults,
as the money would be a constant
temptation to robbers. This requirement
will, however.' be insisted upon by the
banking committee.
Opposition has been -tnade to the pro
vision of the bill which limits the owner
ship of real estate to the home of the
bank and to a value equal to 25 per
cent of the capital. Some banks already
own homes that exceed this limit and
want the limit raised or removed en
tirely. It, has been asserted that those who
want the bill made most stringent are
really opposed to a state banking act
and' hdpe to get it so severe in its terms
that it cannot pass the Legislature.
While Senator Haines concedes that his
bill is lenient, he believes it is the best
plan to make the law lenient at first and
strengthen it In the future, thus per
mitting the banks to accommodate them
selves to the regulations.

COFFEY SECOND CZAK REED
Gives Campbell of Clackamas a
' Taste of Authority From Chair.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 11. (Special.)
Campbell of Clackamas exploded at
Coffey of Multnomah tonight in the
House committee of the whole, when
the latter was presiding. Campbell
grew red in the face and then white,
cried out loudly for his constitutional
rights and Coffey whacked his pavel.
Coffey was hurrying the committee
through the reading- of a tax bill and
pushed past a section containing the
3 per cent rebate for early payment of
taxes, declaring it adopted and not
noticing that Campbell wanted to make
an argument for its elimination.
The Clackamas lawmaker slammed
Jdown. Ilia bill file, shouting: "Mr. Chalr-
man, you are the servant of this House
and not its dictator. I will not allow
you to put this down me in such fash
ion. I demand my constitutional right
to be heard."
Coffey surveyed him calmly from the
pulpit, then said: "The gentleman shall
see that not I, but the House, is put
ting this down him. It is moved and
seconded that we reconsider the pre
ceding section. Those in favor will
Bay aye." Almost a dead silence fol
lowed. "Those opposed will say no." A
big "No" echoed through the chamber.
"Does the gentleman understand
that the House Is putting it down
htm?" asked Coffey, whereupon Camp
bell reiterated his constitutional rirrht
and business went on as before.

HOUSE PASSES BILL TO TAX
THEIR HOLDINGS.
Requires Them to Make Truthful
Return to Assessor Heavy Pen
alties for Failure to Comply.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 11. (Special.) An
unsuccessful attempt was made in the
House tonight to defeat Representative
Beals' bill for the assessment of tim
ber lands in proportion to the amount
of timber each subdivision contains.
The measure requires every person,
managing agent or officer of any cor
poration or association owning timber
lends within the state liable to be as
sessed, to furnish the Assessor of '. e
county with a list of such property,
accompanied . by a verified statement
of a schedule showing the kind and
character of timber standing- on said
land, and probable amount of such tim
ber, as a basis for making an equitable
assessment of the property.
Failure to furnish the Assessor with
the information called for, under the
provisions of the hill, is made punish
able by a fine of from $25 to $.")0. The
bill finally passed with only five neg
ative votes, those so voting no being
Brix, Farrell, McCue, Purdy, Wash
burne. 'Beals explained that the purpose of
the bill is to enable Assessors to make
an equitable assessment of this prop
erty, and that In Its operation no pos
sible hardship can result to individual
timber-owners.
McCue took issue with the author of
the bill and contended that the measure
will work a hardship on the small timber-owner
and invite perlury in state
ments that are required of owners of
this property. He held that It shou'J
be incumbent on Asseeso-s to deter-,
'mine the value of timber lands, as well
as other lands he is called upon to as
sess. Farrell agreed with McCuo and
moved an Indefinite postponement that
was defeated by a decisive vote.
Freeman denied thnt any Inconvenfence
could result to individuals in complying
with the provisions of the measure, since
much of the timber land of the state
is already cruised. He said much of this
land has been escaping Its proper shan
of taxation and should be made to con
tribute its share to the revenues of the
county in which it is located.
Chase recognized merit in the bill.
but
Prix, who owns timber land, wanted the
assessment of such land left with the
Assessor. Washhurne said he could
not
ex-
support the bill because it did not
empt counties that had gone to the ex
pense of cruising their timber lands, as
Lane County has done. He feared thnt
the measure might Impose an unnecessary
burden on owners of such lands in his
own county.
Newell heartily indorsed the bill. A
vote was then taken, resulting in 52 ayes.
5 noes and 3 absent.
SENATORS WAXT MORE PAY
Adopt Knowles Resolution to Raise
Per D-iem of Legislators.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 11. (Special.) The
Senate today adopted Knowles' resolu
tion submitting to a vote of the people a
constitutional amendment raising the
compensation of members of the Legisla
ture from $120 a session to JiOO a ses
sion, or from $3 to $10 a day. Senator
Kay advocated amendment reducing the
pay to $7.50 a day, but this was rejected.
Senator Johnson arfrued that the compen
sation should be left at $3 or raised to
$10 a day. He had nevfr heard any
farmer or business man advocate paying
the legislators less than- $10 a day. Sen
ator Bailey said that he has always felt
that his own services and those of Sena
tor Kay were worth only $7.&0 a day, but
since there are some members who think
their services worth more than $7.60, he
would favor the $10 provision.
Senator Bingham deplored the intro
duction of this "salary grab" and op
posed it. He said the legislature had
been elected to do something for the peo
ple, but thus far they have done noth
ing but- pass appropriations.
"We ought to get down to business and
quit wasting time trying to raise our
own salaries." exclaimed Bingham. "If
we don't do better than we have so far
the people won't be willing to pay us
more than 30 cents."
Senator Nottingham tried to have the
resolution killed by postponement, but
the motion was defeated by a vote of 15
to U. After several motions were made
to defeat the resolution, and all had been
defeated, the question was presented up
on the adoption of the resolution, with
the fololwing result:
Ayes Bailey. Beach. Caldwell. Cole.

Bill to Tax Does Defeated.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 11. (Special.) The

nines at from $2 to $5 a head, according
to sex, came up in the House this morn

FRUIT MUST BEAR
E OF GROWER
Perkins Bill Requires That
Name and Address Go on
-All Packages.
GETS CREDIT FOR QUALITY
Measure Is Intended to Promote Bet.
ter Methods in Marketing Fruit.
Heavy Penalty Provided for
Violations of the Law.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 11. The passage of
Representative Perkins' bill, requiring the
marking of boxes of green fruits bo as
to show the name and address of the
grower and the name and address of the
packer, will probably do more to pro
mote good methods in fruitgrowing than
anything else that has occurred in Or
egon up to the present time. This law,
which will go into effect three months
from the close of this session of the
Legislature, will compel every grower
and packer to bear whatever criticism
may be due him for the shipment of in
ferior fruit, and will insure to every
grower and packer due credit for the
shipment of fruit of superior quality.
During the first season, while growern
and packers are becoming accustomed to
the law and preparing to observe it. there
will be some Inconvenience and expense,
but the advantages will far more than
repay the loss In this respect. Growers
or packers will find it necessary to pro
vide themselves with rubber stamps with
which to print upon the boxes the names
of growers and packers. While these
names and addresses could be written on
the boxes with a crayon, this method
would be slow and would impair the ap
pearance of the box.
How the Law Will Work.
In practice thn law will probably work
out something like this: Box factories
will provide themselves with machines
lor printing the names of packers upon
the emit? of boxes, so that the boxes will
be marked with the names and addresses
of packers before they are made up.
Then the packers will secure rubber
stamps bearing the names and addresses
of their principal patrons, so that when
a lot of fruit Is packed the boxes can
be quickly marked, "Grown by L. T.
Reynolds. Snlem. Or.," or any other name,
as the case may be. Growere who pack
their own fruit for shipment will find It
necessary to buy their boxes already
marked or provide themselves with sten
cils or rubber stamps for the purpose.
For a year or two manufacturers of
stencils and stamps nhould do a good
business among growers and packers, but
as supplies of this kind last a number
of years, the rufh of business in this line
will be only temporary'- As this law will
be of interest to every fruitgrower and
packer In Oregon, the text of the law is
here given In full:
Text oT the Law.
Section 1. Any person, firm, assooctation
er corporation engaged In growing. Belling
or packing green fruits of any kind Tvlthln
the State of Oregon, shall be required, upon
packing any such fruit for market, whether
Intended for fale within or without the
Slate of OreKon. to stamp, mark or label
plainly on the outside of every box or pack
age of green fruit so packed the name and
pontoffire address of the person, firm, asso
ciation, or corporation packing the same.
Provided, further, that when the grower
of such fruit be other than the paeker of
the same, the name and postoffice address of
such grower shall also prominently appear
upon such box or package a-s the grower of
such fruit.
Pec. 2. It, shall be unlawful for any
dealer, commission merchant, shipper oi
vendor, by means of any false representa
tions whatever, either verbal, printed or
written, to represent or pretend that any

ALL GIVE THANKS'
TO CUTICURA REMEDIES
"My wife had eczema for five or six
years. It was on her face and would
come and eo. We had read so much
about Cuticura Remedies that w
thought we would give them a trial.
We did so, and it has now been about
four years, and she has never had a sign .
of ecaema since. She also used them
both about a year ago for her scalp.
(She had very thin hair and Cuticura
helped her hair greatly. I mvself
used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment some time ago for falling hair. I
now have a venr heavy head of hair and
It does not fall out. We used Cuti
cura Remedies for our baby, who was
nearly bald when young. She as very
nice hair now. She is very fleshy, and
we had so much trouble with heat that
we would bathe her with Cuticura Soap
and then apply Cuticura Ointment, it
would dry the "heat up so much quicker
than anything else. We give thanks to
the Cuticura Remedies. Mr. H. B.

BLOW TO THE STRAPHANGERS
House Overwhelmingly Defeats Dye's
"No-Seat, Half-Fare" Bill.
SALEM. Or., Feb.' 11. (Ppocial.)
Passengers' on street railway t ars may
continue to attach themselves to the
trolley-pole, recline on the roof of the
car, lash themselves to the brakebeam
or hang to the steps by their eyebrows,
as It were, for Representative Dye's
bill requiring urban and Interurban
street railway companies to provide
every passenger with a seat, met 'dis
astrous defeat at the hands of the
House members thia morning. Only
Ave members supported the measure
on final passage, there being 38 nega
tive votes and 17 absentees.

Catarrh, is usually worse in Winter, because of the cold, damp and
Suddenly changing climate. Colds are contracted, and neglected and as the
secretions from the different inflamed membranes are absorbed into the blood
the unpleasant symptoms of the disease commence. Tha nostrils are
stopped up and a constant dropping of mucous back into the throat keeps
up a continual hawking and spitting. The patient has dull headaches,
ringing noises in the ears, and often slight fever and a depressed, half-sick
feeling accompanies the disease. The blood becomes so fully charged with
catarrhal matter that stomach troubles are brought on, the kidneys and
bladder are afiected, and if the blood is not purified of the poison the lungs
become diseased because of the constant passage of impure blood through
them. Catarrh cannot be cured with washes, sprays, inhalations and such
treatment ; these cannot reach the poison-laden blood where the real cause is
located, and can only give temporary relief
PURELY VEGETABLE the bottom of the trouble, rids the blood of
the catarrhal matter, reinvigorates the cir
culation, and cures this disgusting disease permanently. When S. S. S. has
purified the blood every part of the system receives a supply of fresh,
healthy blood ; then the inflamed membranes heal and every symptom of
Catarrh passes away. Write for our bock containing information about
Catarrh, and ask for any medical advice you desire. No charge is made for
either. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, CAm

There Is Help For You
Act Today !
In my very extensive practice I have
learned a few truths that are undeniably of
interest to EVERY MAX. First of all I
find that the very serious and so-called "in
curable" cases are due usually to NEG
LECT and DELAY.. Again, I know that
many men suffer FOR YEARS and prac
tically RUIN THEIR HEALTH FOR
EVER trying to dose themselves with some
patent nostrum that never could cure. And
further, it is evident that many men will
run to what thev call "cheap" treatment.
NO TREATMENT AT ALL is what
"cheap" treatment means in nine cases
out of ten. The last state of the man is
worse than the first. Just before you go
a line further in this announcement, stop
and ask yourself as to whether YOU are
following in the foolish footsteps of the
man who NEGLECTS himself t Are YOU
trying to cure yourself with nostrums? Are
YOU looking for treatment that will not
cure? If you are, it is certain that vou will
regret it. It is NEVER TOO LATE to get on the right path, but at
the same time remember that you cannot get there too soon. Tha
best help in the world is none too good for you ; you cannot get it too
quickly. I offer it to you at the lowest fees possible.

third time, Mr. Dye spoke in Its behalf,
saying that instead of undertaking to
impose any hardships on these corpora
tions, the purpose of the bill was to
insure for each passenger an equiva
lent for the fare be pays. McCallon.
Purdy, Barrett of Washington, and
Beveridge criticised the bill because
they considered it was Impracticable,
although recognizing that there exists
cause for complaint at times, because
of the congested condition of transpor
tation on electric cars. But they main
tained that an enforcement of the pro
visions imposed by tile bill would result
in endless confusion and a serious in
terruption of the service, a condition
for which the passengers themselves
are partly to blame, for the reason that
they always strive to board the first
car, resrardless of the fact that a dozen
other cars may be in waiting or ap
proaching. Those voting for the bill were: Camp
bell, Dobbin. Dye, Jones of Clackamas,
and Rackk-ff.
