"FARMER VOTE IS NEEDED' Miss Anita Whitney Speaks Before League AYhich Prepares to Enter tain Noted Women Who Will " "Come Elks' Week. The regular monthly meeting of the Portland Equal Suffrage League was held yesterday at headquarters In the Selling-Hlrsch building. An address was given by Miss Anita Whitney, of California, who spoke of the weaK ana strong points ln the campaign in her state. Arrangements were maae xor.tne reception of noted woman speakers who will come here next week. Miss Whitney, than whom 'none has been more energetic in aiding and per fecting the -suffrage organizations in Oregon, gave a detailed account of the campaign. . - Farmer Vote Counts. "California was won by means of an assiduous campaign In the country dis tricts. We actually lost out in the big cities. Had we not paid particular at tention to the- support of the farmer and the dwellers in the small towns we should never have possessed the right to vote. V "That is what Oregon needs today, perfection of state organization. It Is necessary to send people out into all these towns, no matter how small, and there to start a suffrage club. Once started, local enthusiasm for the cause will keep it up, but women have hung back from commencing an organisation in- their immediate neighborhood through fear of not knowing exactly how to proceed. "Another very necessary point Is that the opinion of women ,8n topics and . questions of interest to' city and state should be known. There are many cases In which a woman is bound to know more about the subject In question than a man. and there are as many cases in which she has an equal Interest with members of the sterner sex. I) 1st Social Problems Faced. "Many social problems - of today would be dealt with more -efficiently and more rapidly where women knew that they had the power to influence the amelioration of conditions. In cases dealing with the unprotected girl, and such social evils, man does not In variably see eye to- eye with- woman on the Importance of the subject. , After the reports from the various committees had been read, it was de cided to form a committee to arrange with the other suffrage organizations for the reception of those women who will be coming here next week to aid the campaign. Many of them are wom en of International repute, who are centralizing all their efforts on se curing equal suffrage for Oregon at the next election. They will be the guests of members of the different leagues during their stay In the city. Among those present were: Mrs. Solomon Hirsch, president; Mrs. A. Fouilhoux, secretary: Dr. Esther C. Pohl. Miss Frances Wilson, Mrs. C E. Kayser. Mrs. R. R. Hoge. Mrs. W. C. Johnson. Mrs. L. W. Therkelsen. Mrs.. Sarah A. Evans. Mrs. Sarah Ehrgott. Dr. Mary Thompson. Portland first- HEALTH BOARD IS BALKED Lebanon Said to Be About to Violate Law on Sewage. Although, according to the State Board of Health, the town of Lebanon, in Linn County, Is obviously about to violate the law in the construction of a sewer to empty into a branch of the Santiam River, there Is no way in which it can be prevented from car rying out the project, until the sewer actually has been connected ' with the stream. Overtures have been made to the City Council on the subject, says State Health Officer White, and other en deavors have been made to Induce the city to desist, but they have been un heeded and the District Attorney Is powerless to secure an Injunction un til the law Is actually being violated by the disposal of. sewage into the stream. Arrangements have been made whereby District Attorney McNary will sue for an Injunction as soon as this state obtains. , The system that is being constructed by the city is intended to empty into Marks Slough, which joins the Santiam River. A long petition protesting against the action of Lebanon has been subscribed to by residents along Marks Slough and the Santiam River, and presented to Deputy District At torney Hill at Albany. When he In formed them of his power the question was taken up with Governor. West. , Valley Gets Another Storm. EUGENE, Or., June 25. (Special.)

Pbote Cause of Mistake. In disc,Uesing the mistake which he had made in ldentiiymg Irom a pic ture. Puter as A. L.
