LI IS NOT CLEAR Difficulties Beset Paths of Initiative Bills. PETITIONS ARE HELD UP Fat of HlRh-Lioense Bill. ' Free Water Amendment and Peti tion for Gas . Franchise Still -Fncertain. No one Heems to have a clear Idea of th laws jtoverning: . the Introduc ' tion of initiative bills, so that the fate of the iligh-license. bill fathered by Francis I. MrKenna. the rree-water charter amendment being boosted by 11. D. WaRnon, and the petition of the Economy Gas' Company for a fran chise from the city. is. still an uncer tainty. "I will refer the matter to the City Attorney," said City Auditor Devlin vesterdny. "I would not like tt lake the responsibility of filing either of thi petitions while there is a doubt In my mind as to their compliance with the law. If the Municipal League de sires to do so. it can take the matter into the courts and have the Auditor mandamused, thus compelling him to place the Initiative on the ballot." I want to give the City Auditor a little time to look over the signatures nd satisfy himself that the free-water and high-license petitions have the requisite number of names," said City Attorney McNary. "It will probably be several days before we will know whether they will be put before the voters of Portland, or whether they will be killed on technicalities. The matter Is up In the air at present." The old law and the law passed at 'tiie last session of the Legislature are confusing. The city otticers under stood tho old law. but the new law carries amendments not In the printed ' bill.' Copies or the new state law were received here Saturday, but the offi cials have not had time as yet to com pare them with the provisions of the city charter to find out where they conflict. The old law provides that 8 per cent of the voters sign the petition, and that It be filed 90 days before elec tion, while the .new law requires the signatures of 15 per cent of the voters, and that the petition be filed 60 days beforo election. "If necessary, we will fight this thing out in the courts." said H. D. Wagnon yesterday. "I intend to do everything in my power to get this free-water proposition before the people. I be lieve we are still operating under the old law, and in that case we have more than the required number of signa tures, and an affidavit for each" 20 names Is not required." ROBERTS MAY BE FOUND Thought to Be in Washington Insane Asylum. Dexter Roberts, a well-to-do rancher owning extensive interests at Pendleton and Gervais. who mysteriously disap peared on February 7 while en route from this city to his Eastern Oregon property, may be the unknown insane patient com mitted from Roy. "Washington, to the state asylum at Stellacoom on February 12 last. This information was received last evening from Chief of Police Ma loney, of Tacoma. -who called up Chief Grltxmacher of the local department over the long-distance telephone in response to a query from the local official. While in Portland in January Roberts fell a victim to J. Delore and A. Geerin. two crooks, who picked his pockets at the Union Depot. They were later captured and are now serving terms in prison for the offense. Roberts attended the trial of these men and disappeared shortly after its conclusion. The man commit ted to the Stellacoom asylum from Roy answers the description of Roberts in a general way. Unless definite news of him is received today, his wife will probably visit the Washington town for the pur pose of ascertaining whether the unknown patient is her missing husband.

MARTIN HDGE GOES FREE OBTAINS RELEASE TJXDER POOR DEBTOR'S OATH. Medford Man, Sentenced Ijst Fall, Swears That He Is Unable to Pay $500 Fine. Martin G. Hoge. of Medford. who was sentenced last Fall to serve a period of four months in the Multnomah County Jail, was released yesterday, his term of imprisonment having expired. He took the 4:10 train for Medford. .Yesterday afternoon Hoge with his at torney. Judge O'Day, appeared before United States Commissioner Sladen in the Federal 'building in this city and applied for his release. He formally took the "poor debtor's oath" that he could not pay the fine of $500 which was assessed against him at the time of his Jail sen tence, and this formality over, he was left free to go where he pleased. Hoge looked thin and downcast and appeared to keenly feel the disgrace which his acts have brought upon him. He has a wife and family at Medford, and Immediately rriade arrangements to go home on the first train. Hoge was tried last Summer In the Federal Court on a charge of suborna tion, of perjury with Frank KIncart, Henry Miller and Charles Nickell in con- I nection with the notorious Emettsburg I of New ZeaJand swindle. KIncart and Miller both pleaded guilty and each was sentenced to 'a year at hard labor on McNeill's Island: Nickell was tried and found guilty, but his case is now -before the Circuit Court of AppealB, pending a decision on appeal. WATER COMPANY TO SELL Mount Tabor Concern Agrees to Take $25,000 for Plant. The Mount Tabor Water Company has agreed to the proposition of the City W ater Board made last Friday that the city purchase the plant for $25,000. In a communication to Mayor Lane yester day. J. M. Arthur, president of the , com pany, says: "We hereby accept your xroposition. u offered at the last meeting of the Water Board, March 1, 1907. We feel, every thing: considered, that we have no other reasonable alternative. Competition against Bull Run water at the present rates means ruin to any suburban water company." At the last meeting of the Water Board it looked as if the deal had fallen through, as there was a difference of I NAMC ON EVERY PIECE 1 )oyKErY"s Chocolate Bonbonsi i Always Delicious Pure I U Wholesome Digestible O If One Box w make M W A Happy Hornet . j 3 Every Sealed Package guaranteed 1 S Fresh and Full Weight 1 Fmacy Boxes mod Basketw In mxduatvm 1 I dcslgaMfor Gifts I THE WALTER M.

This matter has since been adjusted and the city will now have its own plant. Ar rangements doubtless will be made soon to better the condition of the water sys tem in the Mount Tabor district, either by putting in larger mains or by increas ing the pressure. As it is now the resi dents of that section never have high pressure, and when a cold snap comes on and the residents of the down-town dis tricts open their faucets to keep the pipes from freezing, many residents of Mount Tabor, Arleta and Lents have no water at all left them.

Smith WOULD NOT sell bulls. Smith COULD NOT sell bulls, because the Beef Trust has contracted all the bulls in the country. The Trust has bargained for bulls enough to keep things a-going for one year to come. Every market, large and small, high and low, from the center of the city to the suburbs, will be offering the public those Beef -Trust bulls. The fact that they are Government bulls or Uncle Sam's bulls doesn't make them a bit better, to our way of thinking, than if they were Johnny Bull's bulls. .
