5th. Here is the last farm invest

get rolling fat without any expense
to speak of to the owner, except a
little salt and some time. Now re
member this ranch is not a long way
off from this range, but right up

late, it is not over 30 minutes walk
from a first class broad guage motor

ly asserted that these great improve
ments will make the place double its

this place is sold in March, all grow

REFERENDUM TO BE INVOKED ON
LARGE APPROPRIATION BILL.
Mass Meeting of Yamhill County People
Take Initiative Aimed at
Normal Schools.
M' MINNVILLE. Or.. Feb. 27. Ever
since the adjournment of the Legislature
there has been talk in Yamhill County
of circulating a petition asking for the
referendum on House Bill No. 370, which
carries an appropriation of over $1,000,000
for state penal, reformatory and charit
able institutions at Salem, the State
University, Agricultural College and the
Normal schools.
Interest in the movement has contin
ued to grow and tonight culminated in
a- citizens' meeting, at which an organ
ization was perfected for' the express
purpose of .urging the defeat of the ap
propriation bill by the people. The meet
ing was held in the Courthouse, and on
motion M. B. Hendrick was chosen per
manent chairman and H. Lu McCan.i,
secretary. , '
An executive committee consisting of
representatives from each of the politi
cal parties was appointed and Instructed
to have petition forms printed and to
urge voters in all legitimate ways
work for the defeat of the bill. This
committee consists of:
M. B. Hendrick, chairman ; H. L. Me
Cann, J. C. Cooper, "William "Vinton,
David Stout, W. C. Hagerty, and B.
Ashbury.
Following the appointment, of the com
mittee, the meeting was opened for dia
cussion of the step under consideration,
W.I C. Hagerty In response to a request
frojn and in U liar, of I t. I. F Calbrcath,
of the state insane asylum, stated that
if pne appropriation bill should be killed,
it would be a hardship upon and a posi
tivje detriment to that institution.
Q. O. Holman then denned the finan
cial situation of the state if the requisite
number of petitioners should be secured.
He. also stated that, although such con
dltion might and probably would cause
temporary inconvenience, It would be
an ' effectual way of eliminating a sys
enr of biennial appropriations which are
considered by many to be unjust.
"W, ; W. Micale, a farmer from, the Bell
evue section, also made a pointed speech
in behalf of the petition. W. T. Vinton
stated that he considered the matter of
making appropriations unjust and would
support el petition for referendum on
House Bill 370, and would do all he could
to further the movement.
Before the meeting closed, it was
agreed that the executive committee
should meet at the call of the chairman.
At the coming meeting a petition will
be drawn up and an outline of campaign
made. There will be no expense of clr
culating the petitions, for volunteers are
plentiful. It is the opinion of the com
mittee that the required number of pe
titioners can be secured by simply read
ing the petition In stores and public
places.
As far as known there is no express
opposition to the movement and the opin
ion of the - Yamhill County tax payers
i is summed up In the reply of ex-Dis-
trict Attorney James McCain to a tele-
phone message from B. F. Mulkey, asking
who was back of the movement, to which
McCain replied: v
"We are all in it."
Normals Chief Sufferers.
SALEM, Or.. Feb. 27. Agitation in fa
vor of demanding the referendum upon
the $1,000,000 apropriation bill passed by
the last Legislature has caused consid
erable discussion in Salem in the last
few days and great Interest is being taken
in the progress of the movement. Salem
people are generally opposed to fhe ref
erendum, for if the appropriation bill
should "be held up no warrants could be
drawn for services or supplies at the
state Institutions and it would probably
be necessary for employes and furnishers
of supplies to discount their certificates
showing the amount due them.
The amount of the appropriation bill
was" about $1,049,000, of which sum $300,
000 was for the University, Agricultural
College, Normal Schools, new buildings
etc.,. not authorized by existing laws.
If the appropriation, bill should be held
up by referendum petitions, the asylum.
penitentiary, reform school, blind school,
mute school, Soldier's Home, University
and Agricultural College would continue
to operate as they have In the past, ex
cept that certificates of audit would be
issued in payment of expenses instead
of warrants. These certificates would
not draw interest, unless the next legis
lature appropriated money for interest,
but the amount of the certificates would
be paid.
The University and Agricultural Col
lege have standing appropriations and
all that would be cut off from these In
stitutions by the referendum on the ap
propriation bill would be the additional
sums allowed for 'new buildings and in
creased maintenance. With the appro
priation bill held up, the Normal Schools
would receive neither certificates of audit !
nor warrants for they exist by no au
thority of law.
Stated in a general way, the effect of
demanding the referendum upon the ap
propriation bill would be to prevent the
incurring of expenses of about 3300,000
in the next two years, while necessary
authorized expenses to the amount of
$750,000 would be evidenced by certifi
cates of audit. Should the next Legis
lature allow six per cent interest on
these certificates, the accumulated in
terest would amount to about 345,000.
Superintendent Calbreath, of the in
sane asylum says that holding up the
appropriation ' bill would probably also
have the affect of raising the price of
supplies 5 to 10 per cent, for bidders
would take discount into consideration
in making prices.
It is not known Just what the people
of Clackamas county expect to do along
this line but as has been stated by Mr.
Spence, representing the Grange organ
ization of this section, it is known that
several acts of the recent legislature
did not meet the approval of many of
the members of that organization in
this county who may decide to unite with
Yamhill people in invoking the refer
endum on the appropriation bill.

WILL TAKE APPEAL
DEPOSED PRESBYTERIAN ELDERS
ARE NOT SATISFIED.
Fight in Oregon City Church Will be
Carried to Synod State
ment by Cowing.
The recent action of the Portland Pres
bytery in deposing four of the elders
of the First Presbyterian Church of Ore
gon City has not as yet proved a remedy
for the internal troubles of that church.
The elders deposed, T. F. Cowing, E. B.
Anderson, Angus Matheson, and J. W.
Warnock, feel that their removal was
the result of misstatements on the part
of trouble-brewers and was not Justified
by actual conditions. They are now pre
paring an appeal from phe decision of
the Presbytery and will undoubtedly
present it to the Synod in the hope of
securing a reversal of the lower tribu
nal's decision.
The strife within the Oregon City
church dates since . 1902, and has been
characterized by intense bitterness. It
reached a crisis a few months ago with
the forced resignation of the pastor Rev.
F. H. Mix sell, and the removal of the
old session, consisting ot Chris Schuebel,
Ed. F. Story. John W. McKay, Charles
A. McMillan, J. C. Zinser. A. Robinson,
Angus Matheson. "
The election of a new session and the
attempt to recall the former pastor was
bitterly fought by members of the re
tired board and the case brought before
the Portland Presbytery. The- Presby
tery failed to establish harmony, and
the latest phase of the fight: resulted in
the deposition of the four elders.
T. F. Cowing was in Portland yester
day, preparing the appeal to be taken to
the Synod. He said:
"I do deplore the publicity which has
been given to our church and would
rather not air our grievances, but my
associates and I believe that upon a
proper presentation of the facts to the
Synod we shall be vindicated.
"It is admitted that the present con
dition, of our" church is deplorable, but
this is due alone to the failure of a self -constituted
dictator and his supporters
to manage the church in their own way.
. "We, and I mean by that the majority
of the congregation, have tried in every,
possible manner - to secure harmony in
the church, and have offered every con
cession consistent with the proper man
agement of church affairs. Our efforts
can,, ..a nAnAA 1 -A. n11 I 1.AAn
guided by our moderator. Rev. E. D.
Sharp, and by the Home Mission, but
have been persistently resisted by the
warring faction.
"We were recognized as the legally
constituted elders of our church by the
Home Mission Board, who suggested that
toa nloia o vail ti.tial, l,tm tsxv a naa.
u f l u ..uu .111 u.lj.l k.1111 . U . a, )J
tor. We did this and were supplied with
Rev. J. R. Landsborough, we being re
quired to pledge his support.
"It looked then as If the church had
freed itself from strife, but by means
both questionable an deceptive our op
ponents again attempted to place them
selves in power, and succeeded in caus
ing our temporary removal.
"One of the charges brought against
us but which was not substantiated was
that we had after the removal of Rev. Mr.
Mixsell invited and allowed him to oc
cupy our pulpit without any authority.
The' fact of the matter is that Rev. Mr.
Mixsell occupied the, pulpit on that night
with the full approval and authority of
through our moderator. The mission has
supervision over the supplying of minis
ters, and with its permission we cer
tainly had the right to invite Revt Mr.
Mixsell to conduct the services.
"I hope, however, to see harmony
brought about at an early day. No one .
is going to leave the church, as has been
inferred, that is at least so far as the
deposed elders are concerned." Oreg-
