t-nt session of the Oregon leg-
eture. T
MEASURE IS SIGNED

ton is also made fur referring
the at to the people at special elec- I
tion to be held November 6 of this
year in event the measure is referred
through the referendum. If the meas
ure is not attacked by tha referendum
no election will be held.
Administration of the act is to be
under the state tax commission which
may divide the state into districts and
establish a branch office in each dis
trict. The commission is empowered
to appoint such officers, agents, dep
uties, clerks and employees as It may
deem necessary and shall have the
power to prescribe the salaries fur
such employes.
The net revenue arising under the
act is to be applied to state purposes.
It is variously estimated it will raise
from S2.UuU.0U0 to 13,000.000 a year,
but it is admitted the amount it will
raise is largely problematical.

DEATH IN FLAMES
Frank J. Norton, manager of the
local cannery, returned yesterday af
ter an extended trip through the east
and middle west. Mr. Norton attended
the National Cannerymen's conven
tion at Atlantic City and also met the
leading brokers of the east and middle
west relative to handling the product
of the local cannery.
The convention was a huge success,
Mr. Norton reports. Cannerymen were
present from all parts of the country
and a great deal of benefit will re-1
suit from the great meeting. The
Northwest Canners' association had a
wonderful exhibit of fruit from the
northwest and this attracted a great
deal of attention and favorable com-1
raent Many buyers wll come into the
northwest this year and the number
will grow as the products of the north
west become better advertised, Mr.
Norton says.
The necessity of a high quality and
clean, uniform pack was particularly
stressed at the convention, be states.
It was shown conclusively that quality
must 'be paramount in the canning of
fruits and vegetables and that the
pack itself is the best selling feature
of a cannery s output.
Everything points to a big markut.
he states. Conditions in the east are
Improving dally and there will he a
huge consumption of canned icoods
during the year. The foreign market
Is also getting better each day. Eng
land is one of the heaviest foreign
buvers, but because of the low ex
change rate has not bought as heavily
as usual during the past year. This
has used up the surplus anil there will
be a good market there. The English
rate is rapidly recovering and this Is.
expected to greatly add to the excel
lency of the market for canned fruit.
Speaking of conditions in the mid
dle west, Mr. Norton says that a'l In
dustries are picking up very rapidly,
except the food products, including
those of the farm. Lumber Is boom
ing and cotton Is coming tack with a
rush. Other industries, particularly
in tho south, are getting better than
tbey have been in years and all busi
ness men are very optimistic, me
farmer apparently is to be the last to
feel the benefit of this stimulation of
industry, but it is felt that food prod
ucts will loin the upward tendency at
once. Mr. Norton made the trip east
over the northern route, through
Ogden to Chicago, and came back
through St. Louis. Kansas and Texas,
to Los Angeles. He states that many
of the cannerymen were stricken with
influenza while east and are still tn
hospitals there. The Influenza hit the
east and iniille west much harder
than the coast.
Ho arranged with several brokers
for handling portions of the output of
tho KoBeburg cannery and expects
soon to be able to make a detailed re
port on the success of the trip. He
has yet to hear from mime dealers be
fore lie will be ready to announce the
contracts which It is hoped to secure.

There Is a large piece of land lying

largely by memory by rangers who
are familiar with the territory and
ho have done the best they could to
locate the main points on the map.
The new map, however, will be abso
lutely accurate and will provide re
liable data for future use.
A large party of engineers nnd map
makers will be sent Into the Cascade
forest ns soon as possible In the

The work will be a photographic
survey based on transit triangulatlon
supplemented by photograph"'. The
main points will be definitely located

tographs will then be made from these
high points, which will enable the ex

The chief purpose of making the Im

Is one of the latest Inventions for fire
fighting, and Is used for gasoline and
oil fires where ordinary chemicals and
water are useless. '1 lie small can
carrying onlv a small amount of
chemical, creates twenty gallons of

itself over the blaring gasoline and
smothers out the fire .
The department has also obtained

Farquar was arrested late Saturday
when his car was found to contain tell

The officers allege that Farquar haa
been making and peddling liquor for

him in the act.
Upon being charged today Farquar
admitted that he has been engaged
in the manufacture and sale ot liquor

stated that Ferris was coming; tartown '
