Address 1 4 Dr. Earl S.Sloan I Aid FIRST FIGHT IS WON BY SINGLE TAXERS SALEM, Or., Jan. 23. Upholding the contention of the single taxers in the Clackamas County single tax peti tions and ordering a peremptory writ of mandamus directing Secretary of State Olcott to place the single tax petitions on the ballot, but reversing the Jackson County road bond case and holding that the county road bond amendment U self-executing only in a negative way as a power against la curring indebtedness, the Supreme Court today decided vital points in two important amendments passed by the people at the last general elec tion. Justice Bean wrote the opinion in the Clackamas County single tax case, or the Schuebel case. Justice Burnett dissented. Justice McBrlde concurring, but in effect his concurring opinion being offered specially. Only questions of law were Involve ed in this case. A proceeding in man damus was instituted and to the al ternative writ of mandamus defendant answered in effect that under the laws the petition should not be filed. The Attorney-General and attorneys for the defendant contended that the amend ment in question is not self-executing; that counties are not municipalities and that procedure Indicated by sec tion 3470 does not apply to them. The plaintiff held the theory that article IV la, does confer upon counties power to legislate; that through the act of 1907 the machinery for the ex ercise of such rights is provided and that article IX, section la, does give to counties the power to regulate tax ation within their boundaries.

I remember appearing in Boston once with a bo morous lecture, and 1 labored for two hours with that audience, and not one of them cracked a smile: but, by Jove, as I started to leave the platform I tripped on a nig and fell flat on my face, and, would yon believe it, the bouse was convulsed?" "Yes," said Dobson. with a grli "humor Is a very funny thing." Pitts burgh Press. Henry OM alley, superintendent of the Tinted States Bureau of fisher ies in charge of operations lu this slate and Washington, Tuesday em phatically deuled the report made to the Chamber of Commerce aud Com mercial Club lu Portland that nine teen million young salmon at the gov ernment hatcheries in this city and White Kiver are on the verge of star vatlon. "There are no flsb starving at any of the stations," said Mr. O'Malley. "Such a statement is entirely wrong. While it Is true the I'nited States Bureau of Fisheries will liverate a large number of fry within a few weeks, this Is a practice that has been carried out. not only by the govern ment In this state, but by the states and government in California and Washington. These fish are being lib erated In a healthy condition at the time of the absorption of the yolk sac. "It is true that the government has not the funds, nor available space to successfully feed such a quantity of fish. It would mean an expendi ture of between $15,000 and $20,000 for food and labor." Mr. O'Malley said that the fish that would be liberated were perfectly able of caring for themselves. It was re ported here that the Chamber of Com merce and the Commercial Club of Portland would send resolutions to Oregon's representatives in Congress to urge the passage of the bill before the House carrying an appropriation of $50,000 for the maintenance of the government hatcheries. "The state hatcheries at Clatskanle and Bonneville on the Columbia,' said M. J. McKinney, member of the State Fish and Game Commission who start ed the report denied by Mr. O'Malley, "have about 10,000,000 young fish on hand, all they can take care of, and enough money to barely carry them through the season with some assist ance that we hope to get, but the government hatcheries have reached the end of their resources and the young fish will have to be liberated so I am told, unless some means be provided whereby food can be secured. I have communicated with the pack ers and fishermen at Astoria and have had the promise of gome temporary aid, but not sufficient to bring the desired result. "Experiments have established the fact that to release the fish when only a few weeks old means the death of a great many, whereas If fed till about three Inches In length most of them will mature. The natural spawn ing grounds have been shut off by industrial and irrigation projects and hence the young fish have to be lib erated in the large streams which un der natural propagation they would not enter until pretty well along in growth. The government appropriation Is Insufficient to care for the large crop of fish batched this year, In quantity enough to restock the Columbia and assure very good catches for some years to come, since the total catch of the river this season was about 2,000,000 fish, the cash value of which is estimated at between $4,500,000 and $5,000,000. I have visited the government hatcheries and have been told It will take about $10,000 to feed the young fish until they attain the proper size for release, and this money should be appropriated at once. The salmon fishing Industry of the Columbia river Is of the greatest importance, and can easily be made to bring the state an annual Income of $10,000,000. The fishing Industry on the Paci fic coast brings an annual revenue of $50,000,000, and of this enormous amount Oregon draws about $7,000, 000, about $5,000,000 coming from the Columbia river. The state hatcheries this year have about 10,000.000 young fish in their ponds and they will be fed until next fall and released. If the fish In the federal hatcheries he held until that time, 29,000,000 fish will be ready for release and the season can be put down as the most successful in the history of fish propagation on the Co lumbia. But If the 19,000.000 fish have to be released from the federal hatch eries now, a very large percentage or tnem will die. Other rflembers of the State Fish and Game Commission are C. K. Cranston, Pendleton; J. F. Hughes, Salem; C. F. Stone, Klamath Falls and George H. Kelly, of Portland and F.ugene. R. E. Clanton, Master Fish Warden, and W. L. Flnley, Master Game Warden, have also Interested themselves In the problem now con fronting the Federal hatcheries on the Columbia. It was nn eventful day when smil ing and well dressed stranger left the cars at the town of Stratford and walk ed up to the let of the two lima and announced himself a the stale agent of the Universal Life and Accident In sura nee company. He tried to buy out the inn. but i the landlord ami own er did not wish lo sell J. Fiiron Wat on. us the stranger was uiuued. eugm; ed the Indies' parlor, the ballroom nnd ten of the bent located bedroom. Then he bought the privilege of hanging out signs, and after a couple of days the inn was covered with them. They were gayly painted signs, reading. "The Universal I.lfe aud Accident In urance Company." , Stratford was surprised, then star tled. Then It began to Inquire what It was all about. J. Parsons Wutsou was right there on the veranda to greet and tell them. Stratford read the signs, heard what the agent bad to say and then declared the thing a fake. J. Parsons Watson smiled and Insured the landlord against accident, pushed him off the veranda nd paid him $."0 cash. The landlord said he wasn't even scratched, but the agent knew better. A man named Robinson was dying of consumption. The doctors said he couldn't live week longer. J. Tar sons Watson gave him a life Insurance policy and when death cnnie handed over the money. A Mrs. Graham, a washerwoman. was given an accident policy. She fell down and skinned her knee and drew for It. Mr. Storrs. carpeuter. had insured against accident for the trifling sum of 10 cents a week. On the third day after the policy was taken out he bit bis thumb with a hammer and re ceived $15 for dolug it. These things were advertised and talked about, and there was u change In public opiulou. Then there was a rush for Insurance. J. Parsons Wat eon and three clerks were kept busy most of the time. They wrote 1 .000 policies before there was any let up. Then came something to renew the rush. J. Parsons Watson announced that any person that so elected could take ont a policy, accident or life, on another and reap the benefits. Yes. ten, twenty, fifty, could take out poll cies on one and the same person. There was Graham, the well dinger. He was liable to death any day, nrd fifty different persons could get Jl.ooo insurance In case the grim monster came. You could take out a policy on the life of the minister, the black smith, the carpenter, the merchant even on your neighbor's child. In all ucb cases the agent would promise not to give you away. leath came aud you put In your claim aud got your money and no one was the wiser. J. Parsons Watsou hud struck the keynpte. Those who bad insured themselves now wanted to insure some one else. Those who had no Insur ance didn't propose to benefit others by getting hurt or dying. The rush "kept the insurance force working day and night. It did more than that. It stirred up the town until gossip, scan dal and rows were the order of the day. The fact that Smith bad takfn out insurance on Brown leaked out o was strongly suspected, and when they met there were hard words. "So you expect nie to die, ehT de manded Brown In menacing tones. "Why, no, neighbor." "Then why did you get a policy on me?" "Why, yon see, you may possibly die, though I hope not. and I might as well make a thousand dollars out cf it" "You are a blamed hyena, sir!" "Don't get excited. It's business." "Oh. it Is! Then you listen to me I'll get Insurance on you and on evert RUN IS AIDING Tl HOuSANDS $67,000,000 SPENT BY GOVERN MENT IN RECLAMATION WORK. WESTERN STATES ARE BENEFITED Settlers In Many 8ect'on Attonlthed At Modern Condition! Wh.ch Surround Them Ncx'k To Continue. WASHINGTON, .Ian. 19 Approvl mutely $07,000,000 h ive been spent by the government In Irrigation work. This vast sum la less than half of the amouut that will have beeu expended when Undo Sam's engineers have completed the present progrutn of re clamation. In nearly every Western state the flood waters of tho streams aro being Impounded, and already thousands of families aro benetlllug by this stored water. Tho activities of the fedora! government lu reclam ation work have resulted in awaken ing a widespread Interest In Irrigation, which la no longer a local question contlued to rainless country. Exper ience has shown that a more general application of its principles through out the whole country would result in material benefit, especially in Inten sive agriculture such as truck furiu Ing and small fruitgrowing. Many Eastern farmers have the Idea that the Irrigation farmer is in a chronic state of water shortage, or has to fight excess of alkali in the soil, or is so far from market that profits are eaten up by transportation charges. These things are sometimes true, but It Is a grave mistake to bo lleve that they uro unavoidable de fects or that they apply to all Irri gated districts. In building Its Irriga tion projects the government selects only fertile soil; then it gauges the size of the area to the available wa ter supply. The reservoirs and ca nals are built as substantially as en gineering skill can devise and when the farms have been laid out and wa ter Is running in the canals then, and not till then, settlers are Invited to use their homestead rights on the land. The money actually spent In building the irrigation works is pro rated against each acre of land, and is repaid by the settlers In ten equal nnnual payments, without Intercut. Call it paternalism if you like it Is making homes by the thousand every year. The statistician of the reclamation service states that success cannot be attained without work either In the West or anywhere else and the man who expects to farm an Irrigated homestead without hard work will be grievously disapiointed. Neither will he get rich over night. The govern ment holds out no promises of fubul ous profits per acre or of land values increasing like a snowball rolling down hill. The simple facts are these: Tracts of first class farming land varying from 40 to 1C0 acres are now open to entry; In their raw con dition they produce nothing and are worth very little. When pro(erly Irri gated they produce large crops of al falfa, grain vegetables and fruit; in fact, all the crops common to the re gion In which they are located, but in greater abundance and more surely than in states where farmers must depend on the rainfall. Cultivated land with an assured water scpply Is worth from $100 an acre upward, and In some of the older and more highly developed fruit districts prices of $2,000 or $3,000 per acre have been frequently recorded. These high fig ures are due to a perfect state of cul tivation, a thorough knowledge of packing the fruit for market, and well organized selling associations. Settlers locating on government Irri gation projects are frequently surpris ed at the modern conditions which surround them. The Huntley project in Montana Is an example of what can be accomplished in three or four years by progressive people. It In cludes an era approximately twenty RELIABLE DEFENDERS OF OUR COUNTRY.

It had advertised that Its residents had a neighborly feeling toward each other In the matter of lending tea and fliit Irons. All this bnd been changed. They wanted each other to get hurt, to get off the face of the earth, to be no more. There was hardly a husband In the place that didn't glare at his wife across the table and feel that she was keeping him out of a small fortune by living on. He encouraged bis chil dren to climb trees, buy gunpowder and play around the mill pond, and when they came safely through it all be realized that be had been defraud ed of bis rights. This state of affairs could not go on forever. J. I'arsons Watson didn't In tend that It should. lie thought six reeks would turn the trick, but It took ten. During this time be paid out sev eral hundred dollars, and bow many thousands be took In was only to be guessed at. The rush rushed Itself out and people began Inquiring about the Universal In a way tbat seemed to ex press a doubt, and one night the man picked np bis grip and vanished In the darkness. Only the next day three of his Insured died of old age, and seven others were badly hurt at the same time by the fall of a scaffold. He bad loped In time. And there was no Universal Insur ance company. J. Parsons Watson was It He bad simply got the blankf print ed and done business on bis cheek. Btratford wanted something for lath ing and got it Into farms, averaging 40 acres of Irri gable land, and about 500 families now live there. Two railroads passing through the project afford transporta tion facilities and four small towns with stores and business houses, are exhibiting a steady growth. A tele phone system which reaches about half of the farmers will soon be ex tended to cover the entire project, and 13 modern schools, employing trained instructors, provide for the education of the children. In order to be suc cessful the average man needs from $1,000 to $2000 to cover the cost of necessary equipment, a house, fences, and preparing the land for crops. He muBt also provide for himself and family until his farm begins to pay expenses and this will require at least one crop season. Forty acres of this land Intensively farmed will yield a net annual profit of from $500 to $2,000. This Is not theory but a sim ple statement of results already ac complished. While previous farming experience Is desirable, it is by no means essential, and some of the most successful homesteaders on the var lous government Irrigation projects had never handled a plow before they made their filings. NEW VOUK. Jan. 21 The royal trio of Counaughts tho Duke, Duch ess and Princess Patricia had their first opportunity tonight to make something like an Intimate acquaint ance with American life. They view cd It In at least three distinct phases. From the tower of the highest of fice building In the world they sur veyed the forest of downtown sky scrapers, and with the aid of glasses they viewed the entire metropolitan district for twenty-five miles around. At the foot of the tower, after they had shot down forty-eight floors In an elevator, they came face to face with their first American "mob.w More than 500 peosons besot the Ducal party and by sheer force the party niado Its way to automobiles. The royal visitors tonight met near ly 300 of New York's society folk at a ball In the home of Ambassador field. The Impressions New York has made upon the Duke have been but meagerly told In the exclamation that the city has changed wonderfully since his visit here as Prince Arthur In 18i'.8. He has given no Interviews, but he has seen much of the New York newspapermen, especially the reporters. The party's trip today Included a visit to the private art galleries of J. P. Morgan. This was followed by a luncheon at tho Reld home, at which Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was a guest. The afternoon also Included trips to Grant's tomb, Columbia Uni versity and to the new Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Aviator, Who Finally Lose Control In Treacher out Wind. 1.03 AN'liKhKd, Jan. 22. Kuther ford Page, aged twenty-four, a Yule graduate, registered from New York, and Hying as ono of the Curtis avlu tors, fell ISO feet to his death this af ternoon on Domlngiies Field, fow moments before the close of the third day's progrum of tho third Interna tional aviation meet. Ills death, the doctors said, was Instantaneous. Olmost every bone In Pago's body was broken. Ills neck was broken, both legs and arms was broken, both legs and arms and his chest crushed. Page was endeavoring to "turn on a pivot" at a hclitht of about 150 foet when the swell of air over tho hung ers caught his planes. Pago made an effort to regain his bnlunce, but evidently foarlng that the aeroplane had gotten beyond con trol, gave up and when about sixty feet in the air Jumped clear of the inuchlne as It was dropping like a plummet. Ho cleared the muchlno and fell flat Into the plowed ground. According to tho doctors ho was crushed to death. Page was flying for the first tlmo as a licensed aviator having been awarded his license Saturday. His flying early today was one of the spec tacular features, despite a puffy and treacherous wind which lent color to tho free expression of prediction that the day would bo marred by acci dents. Page was one of the first to leave the ground. In the first heat of the five mile handicap, in which bo and Lincoln Ileachey, tho Curtlss veter an, were the contestants, Page thrilled the crowd by his sensational ma neuvers. All of the dips and sharp turns made by Ileacby wore duplicat ed by Page, who was even more dar ing than Deachey. The more experienced aviators shook their heads when they witness ed Page's apparently foolish evolu tlons and when he descended, Glenn Curtlss, who taught him to fly, cau tloned him against attempting at his first meet to perform feats of flying that required long experience to learn.
