FARMERS SEEKING RELIEF Grange Asks for Law Creating Road Districts to Handle Tax Money. KSTACADA, Or., Jan. 2. (Special.) Representative F. M. Gill, of Estacada, one of the Clackamas County delega tion, will introduce a bill at the com ing session of the Legislature to repeal the law empowering a county to vote on stock running at large. He pro poses that the matter shall be left to the precincts to decide at a general or special election. His action is the result of much so licitation by small farmers residing in the less thickly populated sections of the county, who have been hard hit by the law which passed at the recent election penning all livestock. In the foothills of the mountains, where there is considerable free range, farmers have been acccustomed to run ning stock, using the proceeds to clear and develop ranches. With stock now prohibited from the free range, many have had to sell their cattle and horses and beef has advanced. Gardeld Grange passed resolutions asking Representative Gill to present petitions, which are now being signed, to organize a road district, as a school dlstrfct is now organized, thus giving the people of the road district full charge of tax money In the district, Instead of turning it over to the County Court SPOKANE VIES WITH RENO One Divorce Is Granted or Fending to Every Three Marriages. r SPOKANE, Wash.. - Jan. 2.

Frank Shedeck, who took up the office if Chief of Police yesterday says he las not reached a decision as to what :ourse he will pursue in regard to the eight saloons that are apparently now without licenses.

"For bad cold, or grippe," says the bulletin, "get a package of Sure Cure for Cold. (Useless unless patented.) Put it in your pocket, walk briskly sev. eral blocks. On returning, take a good warm bath. Put Sure Cure for Cold under your pillow sleep with windows wide open: next day fast, and take as little liquid as possible.

Avoid midnight lunches, consisting principally of salads and coffee." DOBBIN MAKES REPLY WOOD HAS AXSWERS STATE MENT BT FIXXET. Chesnimnns Pasture History Re vealed) by Enterprise Man, Presi dent of Oregon Association. VALE, Or., Jan. 2. (Special.) Jay H. Dobbin, of Enterprise, Or., president of the Oregon Wool Growers' Associa tion, which holds its ISth annual con vention in Vale January 3 and 4, in a statement in reply to. the aspersions cast upon him last week by W. L. Fin ley, State Game Warden, In a Portland paper, says: "In a long Interview published in a Portland newspaper W. L. Flnley, State Game Warden, makes some remarkable statements regarding my connection with the Chesnimnus pasture, recently converted Into an elk reserve. Mr. Finley's statements may be summarized thus: "That the Government bore all the expense of maintaining the pasture and supervising the grazing of the sheep therein; "That I was the sole beneficiary of the arrangement and that this 'gratu ity was worth (3000 a year to me "That I am personally interested in the matter and am the only one inter ested. "In reply, I know, and everyone else familiar with the situation knows, that the alleged facts set forth by Mr. Fln ley are not the facts at all, but many of them are downright falsehoods. "First I say I am opposed to any kind of game reserve where the same is a detriment to the community in which it is located. "I am not opposed to any act, law or Institution that has for its object the reclamation of our wild lands, build ing of homes, advancement of educa tion and civilization. "Early in the year 1907 the Depart ment of Agriculture decided to experi ment in the grazing of sheep at large in the forest reserves, by providing a pasture so fenced that it would be proof, or as nearly so as possible, against wild animals, the object being to let the sheep wander and graze within the enclosure without the con stant herding, as is customary. "The number of sheep proved to be too great for the grazing area, as the Summer was very dry. A bear got into the pasture before the fence was completed and killed several sheep. The sheep were in poor flesh when they went Into the pasture and were not in much better flesh when they came out. "Nineteen ten was the year of drouth and forest fires. The sheep came out in ordinary condition, with a light loss. I paid no grazing fees, but paid both tenders and for the supplies. This was the last year I grazed the pasture. "I saved, during the four years, (245 in grazing fees 7 cents per head being the fee for three months' Summer graz ing.. "The taxpayers of Oregon have spent large sums of money to exterminate the coyote and other predatory ani mals. Is the Chesnimnus Mountain to again become the breeding ground for these pests of civilization? The elk is a grand animal and we all admire him, but he is destined to go the way of his big brother, the buffalo. His place Is in parks and museums, pre serving the memory of Oregon unde veloped. "The activities of the Game Warden In this matter are contrary in purpose to his activities in the protection and propagation of salmon. "This is my attitude and the attitude of thousands of citizens in my own county and elsewhere as regards the extension of the game reserve idea as it is being developed in this remote corner of the State of Oregon." YOUNG DENIES REPORTS Agreement With Gould Xot Made as Rumored, He Asserts. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. t. (Special.) Joseph H. Young, president of the Hill lines in Oregon, who is in the city with his family, today had a con ference with Charles S. Schlacks, vice president of the Western Pacific. It is reported that representatives of the Hill and Gould lines discussed the clos ing of the Ogden gateway to the Northwest by the Union Pacific The policy went into effect Wednesday, and effectually shuts the Gould lines out of the Northwest. Mr. Young denied that there was any such reason for the conference. In regard to the report that the Hill interests had entered into an agree ment with the Western Pacific to take over in joint ownership the Nevada, California & Oregon Railroad, now op erating between Reno. Nev, and Lake view, Or., and to build a connecting road from Bend, Or., the terminus of the Oregon Trunk to Lakeview, Mr. Young said: "We have no intention of coming into California by means of the re ported agreement and running trains down here over the rails of the West ern Pacific from the point where the Nevada. California & Oregon road meets the Gould road. "We have our hands full with the roads we already have and are build ing in Oregon. Even the plan to build from Bend to Klamath Is in abeyance. That's a big country from Portland to Bend and we want to give it time to develop. Eugene Bridge Contract Let. EUGENE. Or.. Jan. 2. (Special.)

SALEM BARS IN TANGLE EIGHT SALOOXS STIIL ILLEGAL AS STEEVES TAKES OFFICE. Discovery of Obscure Ordinance Sud denly Makes Lachmund ex-Mayor and Licenses Are Unapproved. SALEM, Or., Jan. 2. (Special.) Dis covery of an obscure section of an ob scure ordinance brought a new compli cation into the situation of eight ap parently unlicensed saloons by making B. L. Steeves Mayor ot Salem and Louis Lachmund ex-Mayor. Everyone has been laboring under the assumption that Lachmund would hold office until January 6. This sec tion of the ordinance, however, pro vides that all elective -officials shall take office as soon after January 1 as they qualify. All of the newly elected officers have qualified, and consequent ly Mr. Steeves is Mayor. The posi tion is also the one taken by City At torney Page. Ex-Mayor Lachmund said that the ordinance in his mind could bear no other construction, and ac knowledged he Is now ex-Mayor rather than Mayor. Mr. Lachmund refused to approve the license applications of eight saloons and stated he would stand pat until he left the office, saying he did not wish to embarrass the new administration by f oisting - the six months licenses upon it. without his approval the saloons were operating illegally, according to an opinion of City Attorney Page ren dered to Lachmund today. Steeves is quoted as saying that he believed lo saloons had as much license to run as seven, and from the state ment It was gathered that he would sign the licenses when he took up his office. But City Attorney Page, In an opin ion today, declared that all the pro cedure on the llnceses had been wrong; that It is necessary for the licenses to be approved by the Mayor, go to the A SURE, QUICK COLD CORE-ACTS GENTLY Pa ipe Cold Compound Cures Colds amd Grippe In a Few Honrs Con tains No Quinine.

This has not been done, and until it is done it is the opinion of the City Attorney that the eight saloons are Btill operating illegally. As a re sult. If his opinion Is correct, it would require several days for the procedure to be followed out properly, and in the meantime, it is asserted, the saloons in question would still be without the proper legal license.
