OREGON KEWS NOTES
OF GEHERAUNTEREST
Events Occurring Throughout
the State During the Past
Week.
How Alien Woman Cari P Citizen
Snleui. Relying upon that principle
Of law which says the civil status of
& husband shall determine the civil
status of his wife, Attorney-Oeneral
Craw ford rendered an opinion that the
alien wife of an alien husband who
had declared his intention to become
a citisen, may either make herself
eligible to vote by declaring her in
tention ot becoming a citizen, or she
can let the law take its course and lei
the declaration of her husband be con
sidered as her own declaration.
TO RECONSIDER LAND CASES
General Land Office Agree to Reopen
Application Under Isolated Law
Washington. On request of Repre
aentative Sinnott, the general land of
fice has agreed to take up, on motion
for reconsideration, various applica
tions for the purchase of land In Wal
lowa county, under the Isolated tract
law. There are many of these cases
which were rejected on technicalities.
Carl Roe, who has been United
States commissioner at Enterprise for
a number of years, has addressed Con
gressman Sinnott on this subject at
considerable length'. He says that dur
ing the past year or so he has been
called upon to make out a large num
ber of applications for the sale of land
under the isolated tract law, which
provides that the land, "a greater part
of which 1b too mountainous for culti
vation," may be ordered Into market
upon the application of a person who
owns land or holds a valid entry ot
land adjoining. This law was signed
by the president March 28, 1912.
Oregon Teachers Serve New England
Salem. The Oregon teachers will
be given an opportunity during the
coming school year to teach and study
life in Massachusetts, and teachers of
that state will have the opportunity
to teach in this state, tor State Su
perintendent Alderman, while In the
east, made an arrangement with the
City Superintendent of Brockton for
an exchange of teachers for a year.
Superintendent Alderman intends to
take the plan up with other schools,
and believes that be will be success
ful and that It will operate greatly to
the benefit of the both states. The
salaries paid teachers In the two states
are about the same, and the under
standing would be that the positions
of the teachers in their home states
would be kept open for them again it
their return after a year's absence.
OREGON SENATORS BUSY
Patronage Is Occupying Much Tim;
Both Want General Legislation
Washington. Just how much gener
al legislation will be allowed at the
special session is a matter which Is
interesting Senator Chamberlain and
the whole Oregon delegation. There
are a good many things that are ol
Interest to Oregon, and the senators
as well as the representatives from
Oregon would like to see them brought
up and, if possible, pushed through.
The disposition of patronage is tak
ing up much time of Senators Cham
berlain and Lane, but they have the
questions of rivers and harbors work,
reclamation, land matters, public
buildings and so forth constantly forc
ed on their attention. Chamberlain
is very anxious to see work pushed
on the Portland postoffice, and so
many applications are being received
from Portland and other architects for
permission to compete for the plans
that he is quite hopeful that the build
ing will be a product of Oregon talent.
State Mine Bureau Chosen by West
Salem. Governor West announced
the names of the men he will appoint
as members of the bureau of mines
-and geology, created by an act of the
last legislature.
They are N. H. Lawrie of Portland,
secretary of the American Mining con
gress and an alumnus of the school -it
mines, New York; W. C. Fellows of
Granite, superintendent of the Ben
Harrison Mines company of that city
and an alumnus of the Colorado school
of mines; T. S. Mann of Portland, with
the Pacific Stoneware company; Dr.
3. F. Reddy of Medford, a mine owner;
C. T. Prall of Portland, an engineer
and good roads advocate. In addition
the presidents of the University of
Oregon and of the Oregon Agricultural
College are ex officio members
Eastern Oregon In Fear of Big Floods
Pendleton. The cities and towns of
eastern Oregon and Washington are
preparing for the worst floods In the
history of this section. The oldest
Inhabitants declare the snow to be
deeper than ever known before on the
Blue Mountains, which shed Into the
John Day, DeBchutes, Umatilla, and
Walla Walla rivers, these in turn em
tying direct Into the Columbia river.

Yielding Other Bodies.
Columbus, O. Best obtainable In
formation places Ohio's flood death
list at 471. As the flooded rivers re
cede the death list gradually grows,
bodies being picked out ot the debris
and found in the lowlands. Ultra
conservative estimates place the num
ber of dead in this state at not more
than 600.
The largest Increase In the death
list was at Hamilton. Colonel Zim
merman, in charge ot the militia there,
reported to the adjutant-general's of
fice In this city that 91 bodies had
been recovered. Previous informa
tion from Hamilton stated only 60
persons had lost their Uvea.
Latest estimates place the death list
In Dayton, where the flood waa worst,
at less than 200.
Fifty are reported dead at Piqua,
Ohio, and at least 100 at Columbus,

TURKISH TROOPS
WIN BATTLE

engagement west of Biyuk Chekmedye,

quantities of intrenching tools.
The Bulgarians hurled 20,000 men
against the Turkish advanced position,
and in the darkness carried It with
the bayonet, the Turks retiring on
their main position. At daylight the
Turks bombarded the captured posi
tion and prevented the Bulgarians
from entrenching Subsequently the
Turks delivered a counter attack, 6000
Infantry storming the position with
the bayonet
The Turks flung themselves on the
Bulgarians and a desperate bayonet
fight ensued. The Bulgarians were
driven down the slope on the opposite
side.
The fall of Adrianople has caused a
feeling of deepest dejection in all sec
tions, which has tended to Increase
the unpopularity of the government.
A message from the British vice
consul at Adrianople says that all the
consuls and foreign communities are
safe and well. His report says that
the Bulgarians took only 15,000 prison
ers, the rest of the garrison being In
hiding.
Mob Kills Robber That Slew Banker
Barnes, Kan. Robert L Brown, a
cashier of the Barnes State Bank, was
shot and killed by a man who had
robbed the institution. Later a posse
of citizens shot the robber to death

with a bag of gold. Brown met death
when, Instead of obeying the order to
throw up his hands, he grabbed a re
volver and fired at the robber.
Meal Refused to Negro Clubwomen
