Lee. Assist ant Attorney-General, today, in am opinion given to the Stat Tax Com mission. Informally, the office also holds that no portion of 10 per cent of tha liquor license collected by cities, towns and counties, paid to the state. rill be returned to saloon men in units that have voted dry. The opinion cltea that once money Is paid Into the state treasury and placed to t! credit of the general fund, it cannot be taken unless there Is a spe cial aot of the Legislature authorizing It. Thus the saloon men who have been put out af business by the local option elections can have their licenses trans, f erred to other persons and to other places, but they will ret no rebate on the portion of tha license money paid to tha state.

The object of the new school will be to train teachers preparing lor nmn school work and students preparing for geological work. Professor Landes has received many applications from teachers east of the mountains to Join the new school, as well as many stu dents from Eastern institutions. This will be the first year of the school at Washington. All of the area from victoria. . to Portland. Or., will be inciuaea oy the Instructors. The students and professors will scale part of Mount Rainier, studying Ilia crater and glaciers or tnat peaa. The Islands of Puget Sound will oe studied, and at Portland the beam ana the Willamette River will receive sev eral days' attention.

MARINE PRIZE VALUABLE Steamer Monlranle. Picks Vp Liner Armenia. Merchants Will Pay Half New Boat l ine. Loss on I VICTORIA. R. C Dee. I. The steam ship Monteagle. which reached Victoria today from the Orient, framed a large salvase. the amount to be decioea oy Lloyd's, by picking up tne Hamburg American liner Armenia, if miles from Socotra rock. In the China ea. halfway between Nagasaki and Shangnaj. October 11. as already cabled. Second Cmcer James ana is men from the llonteasle had a narrow es cape when their boat was swamped In eeitlnz a hawser on board the disabled teamer. The Armenia waa siKmea in early morning, during a strong gaie, flrinar distress signals, and the Mont- easle ran up to her. The ea was very heat-v and when the Monteagle's boat rounded the bow of the Armenia a sea Hooded It and the 1J on board were thought by the passengers who lined the rail of the Monteagle to have been drowned. A wire hawser of too ratnoms. easea with about CO fathoms or chain iroin the Armenia, was connected and the boat recalled. It was smashed as it came alongside the Monteagle by the heavy sea, the crew climbing up tha falls. The Monteagle towed the Ar menia to Shanghai. 500 miles. The Ar menia Is valued at (tno.OOO and her cargo was worth 1:00.000. FAN POX. tr-. Per. S. There Is con. s'derahle enthusiasm In Pandon over the prospect of a direct boat to be put on t?i regular run between Portland and this city. The mstter Is being considered by the Portlsnd Chsmber of Commerce and the Bandon Commer cial Club. A representative of the Portland organisation was here a few days ago to discuss the matter with the Pandon people, but the require ments eiacted were considered hardly eauttabla under the circumstances. He offered to see that a good boat was put on the run. but wanted Hindon merchant to guarantee JO tone of freight for the round trip, which was thourht to be too much. Portland Jobbers want to sell goods to Bandoo merchants, and Portland people want Coqulile River coal. BoLh can be arranged for. but Bandon peo ple feel that I'ortland should be will ing to stand at leaat halt of the deficit If there be any. This place has several direct boats to Pan Francisco, and the people of the Ool.len Oate city are aeelng to It that there Is no deficit to make up. If Portland people will do the same, there will be no trouble In arranging a boat kSfcd MEN AT MOSCOW pie do not feel that they should bear I all the brunt and expense. They are. however, willing to meet Portland half way. or possibly even do better than that. a BIGAMY .CHARGE THREAT Man Says Wire Declares She Al ready Had Sponee. DATTOX. Wash.. Pee. . (Special.)

That a move will be placed on foot to Increase the number from five to seven is certain now. and it Is under stood plans are already under way for the framing of a measure to cover the Increase. Under the amendment voted upon favorably by the people, the Supreme Court Is instructed to go completely into the record if necessary, and go beyond the exceptions which counsel might make to the rulings of the Cir cuit Court. It Is stated by those who are favorable to increasing the num ber of the Supreme Bench that this will practically necessitate the pro posed additions. Work Ahead for Bench. The great amount of extra labor which will be entailed by fully exam Inlng Into the records of the various actions coming up on appeal, will re suit In swamping the work of the court and tying the hands of the five Justices, who are already over a year behind In their work, so It Is argued. inasmuch as great powers are given the court by the amendment, those who desire an increase hold this as another reason for adding to the num ber of Justices, believing, they aver, that the additional powers will result In the necessity of a greater scrutiny of the cases, which, coupled with the necessity of enterlug Into the entire record, rather than Into the bill of exceptions, will give even seven Jus tices an amount of work which will crowd the court to capacity. It Is understood that the bill for In crease of number of Justices will be one of the first to be Introduced at the coming session. As the additional Justices would come under the ap pointing power of the Governor, and as the Legislature win be thoroughly Republican, a warm tilt Is looked for ward to. Job for West Disliked. Some of tha Republicans who are In favor of additional Justices do not express themselves as being In favor of their appointment by Governor-elect West, and there may be a hitch In the proceedings on that ground alone, if In no other. Kven those who are most strongly In favor of- the enactment do not go so far as to Infer that the people de sired an Increased number of Justices, merely because they passed the amend ment at the recent election, but base their contention almont solely on the great amount of work which will be caused by ths amendment.

Street work will he etoppea ior the Winter Saturday nigni, ana u men and a dozen teams win be taken off. There will be completed Just 10 blocks of macadamised pavement, and io hlocks which have been graded and covered with one coat of crushed rock. The street work was started by the city a month ago, after being unable to get a suitable bid from contractors. W". F. Baker, construction superinten dent of the Portland. Eugene A East ern Railroad, waa employed to do the work. The lowest bid offered for grad ing was 46 cents.

The city charter requires that the work be done by contract, and there has been a little question raised over the violation of the law, but the results have silenced all opposition.
