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.
Primitive Man ana Exerciie.
Exercise in primitive times was the
price of life. It was only after we had
learned to live by our wits and exer
cise became a luxury that it began to
run into fads. If primitive man neg
lected his al fresco Delsartean exer
cises and let bis muscles soften be sim
ply provided a tender tidbit for some
of bis confreres, carnivore or cannibal.
It was a case of eat or be eaten, and
bis motto was. "Do It first." The gor
geous possibilities of power through
reK)se hud not yet dawned on him.
In those days man didn't exercise. He
Just "humped." He had to. From
"Exercise and Health," by Woods

Af to Humor,
"Tes." said the lecturer, "humor is a
difficult thing to define. 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?"

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.

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

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

MENT IN RECLAMATION
WORK.
WESTERN STATES ARE BENEFITED

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

Stratford bad been a peaceful town
It had boasted of Its law nnd order. 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

and people began Inquiring about the

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

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.
The formal dinner at the Relds' to
night was set for about sixty per
sons, and the dance was afterward.

Aviator, Who Finally Lose

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.

FOR U FOLLETTE
NEW YORK, Jan. 22 The political
atmosphere In the East wa further
changed tonight by the first appear
ance In this section of Senator R. M.
La Follotte, of Wisconsin, since he an'
nounced bis candidacy as a "progres
sive Republican" for the Presiden
tial nomination.
In connection with the Senator's
coming here was political gossip to
the effect that Colonel Roosevelt also
might appear at the Carnegie Hall
mass meeting which Mr. La Follette
addressed and possibly lend assis
tance to his boom, but the Colonel
was not present. Instead he attended
a dinner of several prominent leaders
In charity work.
Gilford Plnchot, a close friend of
President Roosevelt, who has been re
garded as a staunch Roosevelt lieu
tenant, appeared with Senator La
Follette, however, and presided at the
meeting. He presented the Senator
as the "candidate I support Jot the
Republican Presldental nomination."
While the meeting wa under way

Though It Is Impossible (o learn to
night the cnuse of the disaster It I
believed by member of the llfesav
lng crew that tho engine broke down
and It was Impossible for Yonker to
mitnngo his boat In tho strong current
and ebb tide.
The four men who. with Yonkers,
went down were the hint of a score of
passenger who had taken passage
from Marshfield for Empire. At the
latter place late In tho afternoon all
but the five men wont ashore, and the
rrnft continued Its Journey toward
South Slough, a tributary of the bay.
Suddenly tho launch's progress
ceased and It stnrtnd to drift. Finally
It wns seen to strike the Jetty, where
It turned over.
The lookout on the bar Immediately
rushed word of the disaster to the life
savers, but It was too late to help
the men In peril, and the strong cur
rent carried the North Star No. 1, still
capsized, far out to sea.
Tho little twenty-foot boat wa
built only for Insldo waters, and,
therefore, had Ilttlo chance on the
bar, nnd the men aboard had Ilttlo or
no opportunity to save tnemselves.
