SCHUEBEL'S TAX
BILL IS DEFEATED
NAMES OF DELINQUENTS TO BE
PUBLISHED AS HERETOFORE
NOTICES MUST BE MAILED, HOWEVER
Determined Effort Is Made to Have
House Remain in. Session
Until March
First
SALEM, Feb. 15.,(Special.) Rep
resentative Schuebel's biIl.to do away
with the publication of delinquent
tax lists was defeated in the House
today. It was only recently that a
bill passed the House providing that
delinquent tax notices must be mail
ed in addition to being published in
the newspapers.
Members of the House agreed to
hold off the necessary appropriation
bills for a few days, and pass some
of the great mass of other bills now
before them so the Senate will have
to rescind its action in declaring that
no House bills be passed after Fri
day night would be accepted. The
Senate will have to accept, the appro
priation bills and in doing so cannot
well refuse the other bills passed be
fore. Senator Westerlund, of 'Jackson,
tonight introduced in the House a
resolution that the Legislature re
main in session until March 1. Rep
resentatives are about evenly divided
on this, some still maintaining that
the work can be completed by next
Saturday. There is no limit to the
time the Legislature may remain in
session but the members can draw no
more than f 120 for. the entire session.
WILSON'S INAUGURAL
PLANS ARE SIMPLE
PRINCETON, N. X, Feb. 15.
President-elect Wilson explained his
plans for the inauguration so far as
they had been arranged.
Mr. Wilson and his family will
leave here at 11 A. M. on MfDnday,
March 3, on a special train as guests
of the student body of Princeton
University, arriving at Washington
at 4 P. M. He will attend a smoker
given in his honor that night by the
Princeton Alumni Association of the
District of Columbia, to which Prince
ton graduates generally have been
' invited. He said tonight he would
not make a speech. Mr. Wilson be
lieves that his first utterances in
Washington should be his inaugural
address.
$200,000 GIVEN

SENATOR DIMICK FIGHTS FOR
. AN APPROPRIATION OF
$150,000
RESPONSIBILITY RESTS WITH WEST
Clackamas County Delegation Votes
for "Bluesky" Law Which
Protects Purchasers
, of Stock
SALEM, Feb. 15. (Special.) Af
ter a hard 'fight by Dimick to cut
the amount down to $150,000 and bv
Joseph to place it at $300,000, the
Senate this evening passed a bill
appropriating $200,000 for Oregon's ex
hibit at the San Francisco fair. Both
Dimick and Joseph voted iagainst
the measure, the later declaring he
wanted to disclaim any credit as
author of the bill.
The bill as passed places most of
the responsibility ;for spending the'
money on Governor West. Some ob
jection was raised to this by two
Democratic senators, but no change
was made.
For the purpose of amending the
bill, the Senate went into a commit
tee of the whole and Dimick offered
an amendment to cut the amount to
$250,000. This amount also failed
and a few moments after Dimick's
amendment was killed the bill ap
propriating $200,000 as the commit
tee had reported it passed.
In' the House the "Bluesky" went
through this afternoon by a large
majority. The entire Clackamas del
egation was for it. This is in many
ways the same bill that was defeat
ed at the last session although this
one carries no appropriation. It pro
poses to protect purchasers of stock
and bonds from "wildcat" scheme
the expenses of the corporation de
partment to be paid out of theyfees
that the commission will be self sus
taining and probably yield profits to
the swite beside.
A resolution was offered in the
House tonight to extend the session
for an extra week in order to get
through with the great mass of bus
iness now before both houses.
The general impression seems to
be that the Senate will not attempt
to enforce its resolution to accept no
House bills after midnight tonight.
All the big appropriation bills are yet
to come up in the House on third
reading and the Senate will have to
take care of them.
A sman ciassiried ad will rent that
vacant room.

The proposition is under considera

declare a truce of from 12 to 24 hours.
The matter has been referred to Gen
eral Huerta, who has suspended hos
tilities until 11 oi'clock, when his an
swer will be given. In the inerior for
eigners will be removed from the
danger zone. '
It is also proposed to define a zone
about the American embassy which
will be respected. Diaz has agreed,
provided the Federals accept this
proposal.
While the federal guns pounded
the Diaz fortifications in the arsenal
and the rebels sent back shell for
shell, the Senate sat today and dis
cussed the ousting of Madero from
the presidency. . . .
Confident of ultimately defeating
Diaz, Madero defied the Senate vand
ignored the counsel of Francisco de
la Barra and other friends. He . re
fused to resign, but he did not take
the trouble to make his decision per
sonally to the Senate.

Because of a disagreement among
the stockholders and directors cf tne
Clackamas County Fair Association a
reorganization is necessary. J. W.
Smitn, who has been tne head of tiie
association lor three years, was re
elected president at a meeting of the
stockholders one week ago re
signed at a special meetings of tne
board of directors Saturday alter- j
noon. O. E. Freytag, who has been
connected with the association , 'xor
a number of years also resigned as j
a member of the board of directors, :
M. J. Lee, recently elected secretary,
insists that the fair will be held as
usual this year and that it will be
bigger and better than ever before.
The men in resigning declared
there had been too large a represen
tation on the board from the Canby
district. They insisted that the
county should be more generally
represented. Announcement also was
made that many of the stockholders
believed that too much influence in
the management of the fair was ex
erted by certain horsemen. The di
rectors instructed the secretary, M.
J. Lee, to call a special meeting of
the stockholders for March 8 at 11
o'clock in this city to fill vacancies.
It was determined to hold the fair
this year September 24, 25, 26 and
27, the state fair being held immed
iately afterward. M. J. Lee, Secre
tary, said Saturday night that the
exhibition would be one of the finest
ever held. He said he was sorry that
any trouble had occurred but insist
ed that everything would be satisfac
torially adjusted.
"We have made arrangements for
an aeroplane flight and for the instal
lation of a wireless telegraphy plant
at the grounds," said Mr. Lee. "We
are going to give the people the best
exhibition and more for their money
than ha3 ever been given before. It
is right that Canby should have the
largest representation' on the Board
of Governors for the fair is held at
Canby and meetings of the Govern
ors can be held daily if necessary.
.There has not been and will not be
discrimination against other parts of
the county. The upper floor of the
pavilion will be filled with juvenile
exhibits. It. is, believed these exhib
its will be of more benefit than the
dances that have been held hereto
fore. Canby will attend to the po
licing of the grounds instead of pay
ing men from the general fund. A
premium list pocket edition will be
issued.
The directors elected at the last
meeting of "the stockholders were J.
W. .Smith, Macksburg; W. H. Bair,
Canby, A. D. Gribble, Canby; O. E.
Freytag, Gladstone, and 0. D. Eby,
Oregon City. Mr. Eby said Saturday
night that it had been suggested
that a new fair association be organ
ized and that it obtain grounds on
the route 'of the Clackamas Southern
Railway in the vicinity- of Beaver
Creek. This location would be near
the center of he county. '
