Strikers Threaten Jail.
Akron, O. A parade of striking
rubber workers marched to the central
police station and threatened for a
time to attack the jail and liberate the
strikers arrested for rioting in the last
few days. Several shots were fired
toward Detective George Marti no, who
returned the fire. No one was hit by
the bullets, and the strikers retreated.
Before marching to the police station
the crowd sttacked officers on duty at
one of the rubber factories. Carl W,
Bailey, an I. W. W. organizer of
Cleveland, was arrested. '
Publicity Not'Opposed.
New Xorlt a library and press
room for the use or newspapers is to
be one of the features of the New
York Stock Exchange in the future.
The equipment of the room has begun.
The room will be provided with files
of financial publications snd statistical
matter for newspaper men and others
who desire to investigate financial
matters. This Innovation, It is said,
has grown out of a desire on the part
of the governors to refute the idea
that the Exchange has been opposed
to publicity.

Judge Kelly, of Albany, Sustains
Yamhill County Court.
Newberg News was received from
McMinnville to the effect that Judge
Kelly, of Albany, who heard the in
junction arguments ,at McMinnville
about ten days ago in connection with
the building of a bridge across the
Willamette at this place, had rendered
a decision sustaining the actions of the
county court in ordering the work done
and appropriating over $40,000 to pay
Yamhill county's share of the cost,
Marion county having agreed to pay
the other half.
The steel tubes for the piers were
ordered last fall and are now on the
ground, and it was the intention of the
commissioners to proceed with the
erection of the bridge this spring.
Much satisfaction is felt over the decision.
Flood Damages Orchards.
Pendleton The breaking of the
feed canal a short distance east of
Hermiston Thursday afternoon, dam
aged property in that vicinity to ths
extent of many thousands of dollars.
As soon as possible after the break
was discovered, the wster wss turned
off at Echo, but not before several or
chards were completely ruined, the
wster in places being 12 to IS feet
deep. Badger holes are ssid to have
caused the break. More than a week
will be required to repair the canal by
government employes.
Levy May Be 4.75 Mills.
Salem Possibility of the state tax
levy being as high as 4.75 mills is
seen in the amount of appropriations
that must be met by the state for the
year 1914, but it is probable that the
levy will be reduced to about 4.2
mills. The legislature appropriated
$6,200,000. This year the tax levy of
1.2 mills will rsise about $1,122,000.
It is estimated that receipts for li
censes snd other indirect taxation
will total $500,00 for 1914. There Is
a possibility of some of the appropri
ations being held up by referendum.
