WICKERSHAM HOLDS BACK Conference of Millmen to Be Hold In Portland Early Xext Week. De clares) H. J. Pirrcc Spo kane Backing Deal. SEATTLE Dec. IS. Henry J. Pierce. of Spokane, who plana merger ot ' cargo milla In Oregon and Washing I ton. having a capacity of more than SO per cent of the total output of saw milli at tidewater, announced today that he will finance the consolidation scheme through a large Now Tork hanking house. Mr. Pierce, who has Just returned from New York and Washington, recently laid before Attorney-Gen . raj Wickersham the draft of artl rle of incorporation for the I's - clflc Coast Lumber Company, the pro posed merger corporation, and asked for an official rutin on Its legal status. - On the ground that If hi office estab lished the precedent of guaranteeing " the legality of new corporations, the Attorney-General would be besieged br thousands of similar petitioners. At torney-General Wickersham refused to give an opinion on the Coast Com pany. A conference with the more promt . sent Gravs Harbor. Wlllapa Harbor , and Puget Sound lumbermen Interested In the muter was held by Mr. Pierce In Tacoma yesterday, and the details of hl Eastern negotiations were laia do , fore them.

Piles, his attorney, as Is Indicated br the fact - that immediately thereafter Mr. tnerce concluded his financial arrangements -- In New York. It Is probable a few changes In the plan of organization will b made aa a result of Mr. Pierce's Eastern arrange- ' ' merits. The original options given by . mill men on their plants, timber hold Ings and lumber fleets, called for a comparatively small out!ay of money beyond the amount necessary to take " up outstanding obligations and carry on the business of the merger company, e By the new arrangement with Kastern financiers big cash payments in pur chases of plants will be made to those 'mill men seeking it. 0 Per Ceat Represented. The first draft of the merger agree- fment carried with It a proviso that not less than 0 or ti per cent of the ca , pacity of the Coast mills should be rep L resented in the company.' The banking arrangements by Mr. Pierre permit a minimum of 50 per cent, though It Is claimed by the Spokane promoter that i his agreements with mill men Indicate that mora than III per cent of th mills will be represented. A deal for timber sufficient to guar, antee the 14 years" supply which the merger company wants to have tn sight before starting business. Is under way and may be brought to a head before the first of the year. Mr. Pierce denied today that any rail road corporation was interested in the merger plan either as stockholder or bondholder. As negotiations for the purchase of railroad timber had been Intimated the story was current that railroad money would be behind the deal. Mr. Pierce says that this Is nei ther necessary nor desirable and that there will be no railroad affiliations. OLCOTT IS GOOD TO WEST Aotinff-CJovernor Will Turn Over $400 Salary to Executive. SALEM.

"COUNTY MAY AID FRUITMEN Tag Is Favored to Carry on Work of Orchard St a die. V . HOOD RIVER. Or. Dec. 11. (Spe cial.) Hood River County probably will support the work that la at prea- ent done by the Hood River Fellow ship Association, an organisation em ploying Professor V. H. Lawrence and conducting experimental work for the Improvement of orchard culture and the prevention of disease pests. A pe tition is being circulated here this week asking the County Court to levy a tax not to exceed a half mill for the purpose of defraying the expenses of such work. The movement Is meeting with al most universal approval. While the system of having the work done by the Fellowship Association has accom plished good, one of the features of which was the eradication of fire blight from the Valley, it is declared that by making the levy a county Interest, the system will be greatly simplified and more equitably distribute the assess ments, which were formerly raised from each member of the organization on a basis of so much per acre of orchard land. The officers of the association have been the leaders in the movement to have the work transferred to county supervision. IS STATE BCREAC REPORT CRITI CISES LOOSE METnODS. Xo Comprehensive Scheme of Mak ing; Improvements and Keeping Check on Them Followed. OLTMPIA, Wash.. Doc. 15. (Special.) Loose methods of handling local Im provements are charged aitainst the City of Vancouver by the State Bureau of Inspection. The bureau's - report. covering the period between January 1, JSC'S and October 1. 191 1. Indicates that no comprehensive or methodical scheme of making improvements and keeping check upon them has been followed. and that property-owners who are overcharged have difficulty in getting redress. 'It is impossible to make an accu rate check on the cash for local Im provements." says the report, "as the records have been lost or destroyed and part of the receipts show in the general fund and part have been paid out to contractors, and as far as we have been able to discover no records of such pay ments exist. 'The entire system of local Improve ment accounts Is as Incorrect as it la possible to make It. No assessment rmls are made out; but the advertise ment, covering the district included in the improvement showing owner, lot inrl HI tr- Ir nnH amniint ia r t i f 1 fl to the treasurer, who proceeds to collect from said notice. Payment Dates bowa. When an account is paid, a red-Ink line is drawn through the property on which the payment Is made. No date of payment is shown and in numer ous rases the property has changed hands, and of course the taxpayer's name does not agree with the name on the account list. "The amount of the contract cover ing the district does not show on any records we have been able to discover; nor is there any data whatever In re' gard to the district. 'Another thing that looks bad that the general fund is used as a bal ance for each district and should prop- rty-noiders be oversssessed the amount over and above what is required by the district goes into the general fund and t Is a hard matter for the average taxpayer toget relief. City Risrun Heavy. The report shows that the city has expended an Immense sum in making Improvements. It has 7 41 miles of paved streets, costing S.IS'.SOO; 7.84 miles of sewer, costing 1154,500. and 1.51 miles of sidewalks, costing S102.- 609. The assessed valuation in 1900 was 74.440 and at that time the tax evy was 7 mills. In 1911 the valua- lon was S4.303.Si: and the tax levy 4 mills. The total assets are f 1.187.500 and are .sio.041.5C In excess of the towns lia bilities. In the list of assets the streets. semers and alleys are credited with S39.SOO and local Improvements with -'49.B6l.57. It Is shown, however, that large proportion of the local Improve ments are liabilities, and to this item la credited :S1.7H.7T. The Bureau yesterday completed the eport on Tacolt in Clark County, flnd- ng that the town has assets of $21.- S6 and liabilities of only S10.425.S0 leaving an excess of assets of $1 1.073.0. he town s water system Is valued at 0.000 and la listed as the greatest asset. The town has had no police udpe since January 1. 1911. and only so fines have been imposed since the town was Incorporated in 1908. WILLIAM M.

UNIFORM PLAN FOR FAIR GROUNDS AIM State Board Will Employ Architect to Suggest Proper Rearrangement. BETTER FACILITIES WISHED Officials Decide That Permanent and Satiofactory Plans Shall lie . Drawn Up for Submission to Legislature., SALEM. Or, Pee, 15. (Special.) Besides re-electing J. H. Booth, Rose burg, president: George Chandler, Baker, vice-president, and Frank Mere dith. Salem, secretary, the State Board of Agriculture today entered into plans for a prospective complete new State Fair. An architect will be secured to lay out plans for permanent and uniform plans for buildings and grounds to be used for a working model, so that all future Improvements will be built up to it. The general proposed plan will also be used in submitting to the Leglsla ture requests for appropriationa. Ralaa Diminish Crowds. Heavy rains throughout practically all of State Fair week resulted In deficit of $2(198. according to the re port of Secretary Meredith, filed at the annual meeting of the State Board of Agriculture today. Although a record breaking crowd was predicted. It was held down to practically the usual crowd and larger appropriations had been made for the races and free at tractions. In touching on conditions at the fair grounds and recommendations for bet' terments, the secretary says in his re port: "I am pleased to report the farm land In a much better condition than last year, by reason of the fact that sim soweu on ine iouicsi pari ui tuo .ivritis iibb, iur uie a.e i iwv oils, been cut for hay, thus preventinff the French pink from proing- to seed. This year there was harvested 64 tons of hay, 1798 bushels of oats and more than enough straw to bed down all of the stock barns. All of the tillable land la now sown to either cheat or oats, which Is growing nicely. The grounds were further Improved by the addition of large beds ot hydrangea and roses, as well as the planting of evergreens. These, together with the plantings and beds made last year, have greatly enhanced the appearance of that aectlon. Fraternal Hon" Proponed. The Woodmen of the World have erected an attractive log cabin on the grounds, which they propose to main tain as headquarters for the entertain ment of the members of the order and their friends during fair time. The Women of Woodcraft also propose to erect a similar building. I pred.ct that other orders will wish to follow the example, and it will be but a short time until the Oregon State Fair grounds ran boast of what might be termed a "Fraternal Row." Shade trees have been planted on the newly ac quired land, which. In a few years. should make a beautiful grove, desir able for camping purposes. The rainy weather incident to the recent fair demonstrated concluslvaly the fact that new buildings and paved roadways are essential to the success ful conduct of the fair under adverse weather conditions. Were there one or more large buildings where the crowds could bo entertained, and roadways sufficient to permit the public to move about the grounds without tho neces sity of having to wide through the mud. good attendance would be as sured, although some parts of the pro gramme might have to be abandoned. The Legislature of 1911 also appropri ated $50,000 for the erection of a brick pavilion, but. on account of excessive appropriations, the Governor saw fit to veto the bill. Permanent Mrnrtnrea Wanted. I would suggest that the State I Architect be employed to draw plans and specifications for permanent build ings to be erected In the future, to gether with a block plan and blrdseye view of the premises, showing the dis tribution of buildings to be erected from time to time. The poultry exhibit has grown to such an extent that the building has become inadequate. More room and more light are badly needed. This year there was more than 100 fowls ex hibited, and, notwithstanding the fact that additional coops had been pro vided. It was necessary to crowd the birds In order to accommodate all. I would suggest that a new addition be built and skylights provided for the old poultry building. W. H. Weir, secretary of the na tional Playground Association, sug gests that a playground be provided for the children during fair week. This feature could be provided with but very small cost. The question of lighting the grounds still remains a problem, and some service other than that now em ployed should either be established or else the company now furnishing light should furnish a better service. Notwithstanding the fact that u . M. Smith, aunerintenaent of the education al department, has worked very hard during the past two years and made some progress, the number of entries In this particular department have not been as large as they should be, and there Is apparently a lack of Interest manifested by the educational workers throughout the state. I have come to the conclusion that the matter of en trance foes imposed has something to do with the case, and therefore rec ommend that hereafter no entrance fees be charged In the educational de partment."

(Spe clal. ) In a ruling on the Washington local option law today the Suprem Court holds that it is unlawful to give away intoxicating liquor In dry terrt tory, except in private dwellings or apartments. The case came before the Supreme Court on an appeal by the state from the W hatcom County Court, which sus talned a demurrer to the complaint charging W. C. Jones, of Ferndale, which is in dry territory, with vlolat ng the law in giving away liquor on tho street. The chief ground for the demurrer was that the Legislature did not In tend to prohibit 'any gifts in a dry unit, except where such gifts were palpably for the purpose of evading the aw. The Supreme Court holds that if this contention were given effect any rerson within a dry territory could load a dray with liquor and stand on the street corner and give to all who would receive. 'Such a construction." says the de cision, "would make the law a farce and the dry unit an abomination." CADETS GET PROMOTIONS Commandant at Agricultural Col' lege Announces Appointments.
