several selections at the Forum and
aitto on the platform this afttr iuou
before the lecture of Mrs. Leonora M.
Lake, on "The Divine Rights of the
Child." In manner, voice and appear
ance she was a delight to her audience.
Her plea that the child should be uei'
born, well nurtured and surrounded hy
proper influences struck a response
chord that met with continuous ap
plause. This Is the first time that a Catholic
has spoken on the Chautauqua : t
form here, although the Eastern Chau
tauqua platforms regularly engage
more or less Catholic talent. Mrs.
Lake is a former parishoner of Archi
bishop Christie. She takes special pride
In the fact that her fellow countryma ,
Dr. John McLoughlln, was the aulh r
of the first Prohibition law In the

Business and professional men of
Oregon City met Tuesday night In the
banquet hall of the Masonic Hall and
listened to a stirring address from
Tom Richardson, general all around
publicity man and manager of the
Portland Commercial Club. Mr.
Richardson warmed up to his subject
and created considerable enthusiasm
among the local promoters, some of
whom talked briefly. The meeting
was one of happy accord and indicated
exceedingly bright prospects for the
formation of a commercial club at
Oregon City.
Dr. E. A. Sommer, John Adams,
and C. D. Latourette were appointed
a board of governors, with authority
to add six more members to the gov
erning body. These men will formu
late rules and by-laws and on next
Tuesday evening will make a report
to the club members, who will hold
a meeting at the same time and place.
Officers will be elected next Tuesday
evening when It Is expected that de
finite plans will be agreed upon and
that the organization of the club will
proceed without delay. With a mem
bership fee of $25, and with fully 100
members in prospect there is every
reason to believe that the club will
be formed on a sound and permanent
basis.

C. H. Dauchy, Sr., and wife of Glad
stone Park, were severely burned Fri
day at their home by the burning of
one hundred pounds of powder. Mr.
Dauchy is connected with the Oregon
Safety Rock and Smokeless Gunpowder
Company and spends his time manu
facturlng the powder. He was stir
ring a kettle over the fire In the open
air. The rule in making the powder
is that the Ingredients must be mixed
off the fire. Mr. Dauchy was In
hurry and put some syrup left from a
former batch in the boiling kettle.
Some of the mixture immediately gran
ulated and the whole kettle catching
fire went up In a flash.
Mrs. Dauchy was standing near,
scraping a paddle that her husband
needed to stir the mixture. The ket
tle has a flaring top which caused the
flames to spread. The shock threw
Mrs. Dauchy to the ground and the
flames burned her severely on te
face and arms, also burning away a
lot of her hair. Mr. Dauchy was also
severely burned on the arms and had
a quantity of powder burned into his
face In addition to having his beard
and hair singed nearly off.
The couple were alone In the yard,
but Miss Olson, a neighbor, was In the
house. Mr. Dauchy ran In and tele
phoned to Dr. Norris while Miss Olson
went for help, then noticing that the
dry house was on fire and realizing
that everything would be lost if some
thing was not done at once, Mr,
Dauchy went out and tore away part
of the burning roof with his hands
burned in blisters. His presence of
mind saved their home, a quantity of
powder, and the surrounding out-build
ings.
The powder which is made there
will not explode unless It is ignited
under heavy pressure. Mr. Dauchy
says that the accident was wholly due
to his thoughtlessness In mixing the
stuff over the flames.
Mrs. Dauchy is suffering a great
deal. He eyes are swelled completely
shut and a ring on one of her fingers
had to be filed off on account of the
swelling.

New School District.
The people who have been clamor
ing for a new school district in the
Logan section were successful Mon
day when the district boundary board
granted the petition for the establish
ment of the new district, to be creat
ed out of the dlst.'cts of Lower Lo
gan. Evergreen, Redland and Linn's
Mill. The petitioners states that their
children have to walk too far to their
respective schoolhouses.
That the law prescribing the appor
tionment of state taxes conflicts with
the Oregon constitution and Is there
fore Invalid, is the gist of a decision
rendered In the Circuit Court by Judge
Galloway.
The case at hand was the suit
brought by Yamhill County to prevent
payment of alleged excessive taxes to
the State Treasurer. The suit reads.
County of Yamhill vs. County Treas
urer Foster and State Treasurer
Steel" wherein the former la enloln-
ed from paying and the latter from col-
lectlng the sum of $22,482 excessive
state tax for 1907, alleged to have been
wrongfully and arbitrarily apportioned
to this county by the state board.
and arguments on the demurrer were
heard Saturday.
Attorney General Crawford, who ap
peared for the state, contended that
the money collected by the county
was for a specific purpose and must be
turned over to the state If levied and
collected for the purpose of being ap
plied to the payment of state tax; fur
thermore, that the taxpayers and not
the county should have brought the
suit.
The county was represented by Mar
tin L. Pipes and McCain & Vinton. The
attorneys for the plaintiff attacked the
constitutionality of the law of 1901,
prescribing the mode of apportioning
the state tax and cited numerous au
thorities to prove that a county could
sue and to be sued and could resist the
collection of taxes unjustly or un
equally levied, as It was contended
they were under this law. The court
overruled the demurrer. The Attor
ney General declined further to plead
and gave notice of appeal, whereupon
the injunction was declared perpetual
on the grounds that the law conflicted
with the constitution.
CHANGE IN RURAL ROUTE.

Postmaster Randall has recommend
ed a change In rural, delivery routes
Nos. 3 and 4, and it is expected that
the department will approve his recom

gon City to- Beaver Creek and then
3-4 of a mile south to Studeman's,
where the carrier of route No. 4 is
met and the mail for No. 4 transfer
red. It is the postmaster's plan to
shorten the route of No. 3. and make
the connection at Beaver Creek store,
where the carrier on No. 4 will have
an opportunity to route his mail, and
will also receive It earlier In the day,
shortening the route of No. 3 and
lengthening that of No. 4, who will go
to Studeman's via Daniels, and cover
his usual route as heretofore.
