COMPLETE FIGURES ON PART OF

- SHOW BIG SAVING
COUNTY'S NET RECEIPTS ARE $887.84
Estimate Which Cost $590 to Make
Will Increase Taxes By $1,478,
.Thus Paying For Itself
With Ease
The cruise by the county of a part
of the timber holdings of the Weyer
hauser land company has not only
paid for itself, but has shown a net
profit in taxes of .. $887.84. Fig
uring the taxation rate on timber this
year at 16 mills, which is what it,wa3
last, the county will obtain from that
section of the 19,854 acres of the big
concern's holdings the sum of $1,478.
64. This tax, which is on 7,385 acres
already cruised and reported to Coun
ty Assessor Jack, is based upon a
cruise that it has cost the county
$590.80 to make. Hence the cruise,
so far, has not only paid for itself,
but has earned the county $887.84 in
addition. -
These figures are of considerable
interest in more ways than one. When
opposition to the timber cruise by the
county was voiced, it was said that
the cruising would prove a heavy bur
den upon the the county. It was also
pointed out that as the big timber in
terests were cruising their own tim
ber, the county could obtain just as
accurate figures without going to the
expense of making its own estimate.
The work done in the Weyerhauser
holdings so far sheds light upon both
these statements.
For years the county has been ac
cepting the Weyerhauser cruise, and
basing its taxation thereon. For the
total area of 19,854 acres the county
has been collecting $2,715.84
This is about a third as much again
as the county cruise will yield on the
third of the holdings so far estimated
and at that rate shows that the
county, aside from being able to pay
for the cruising out of this years as-

DRASTIC CHANGE PLANNED
AT UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE
Drastic and far-reaching changes in
the courses and arrangement of study
at the University of Oregon and the
Oregon Agricultural college are plan
ned by the board of higher curricula,
of which J. K. Hedges, of this city is
secretary, and a meeting of the board
at which this matter will be taken up
has been called for Monday, August
25, to be held in Portland Acadsmy
building, Portland, at ona in the af
ternoon. Notice of this meeting was sent out
today by the secretary, and provides
for consideration of the following
proposition:
1. To eliminate from the Univer
sity of Oregon and to assign o the
Oregon Agricultural college the de
partment of Electric Engineering,
Chemical Engineering and Civil En
gineering, conditioned onvthe Oregon
Agricultural College's requirig a full
four year's high school course, or it3
equivalent, as a preparation for en
trance for degrees in all engineering
courses.
To eliminate from Oregon Agricul
tural .College and assign to the Uni
versity of Oregon the departments of:
ture and music.
(b) Economics.
(c) Commerce, higher.

changes was reached at a meeting of
the board held in Portland June 18,
at which there were present J. R. Wil
son, chairman, J. E. Hedges, secre
tary, J. C. Smith and A. G. Beale. It
was the feeling of the members that
since the board had been organized to
do away with duplication of studies
at the twp institutions, and to make
as far as possible, each school com
plete in its special sphere, that it
would be better to segregate the dif
ferent studiesnot only so that there
should be no duplication, but also that
there might be at each institution
only students working along the same
general lines.
At present there 'is a civil engineer
ing course maintained at each school.
Not only is this unnecessary dpulica
tion, but it is felt that the several
lines of engineering ought to be
brought to one institution, so that bet
ter laboratory facilities might be had,
and so tha the expense of the differ
ent coursese might be shared wher
ever work common to two or more
of them is to be taken up. There is
much equipment in the engineering
courses, of instanc that can be util
ized in civil, electrical and chemical
study.
The plan of segregation, it is be
lieved, will not only make the two
schools more distinctive in the line of
work that they will be doing, but will
probably be the means of saving the
state university from abolishment by
the vote of people who apparently do
not understand the necessity for the
two institutions. The board of high
er curricula is not a unit in favor of
the change, it is said; but it is be
lieved that after discussion of the
plan is had the change will he adopt
ed. If it is adopted it will be made,
say at the end of three years, so that
students in the courses at the two in
stitutions now will not have to
change. No new students will be ac
cepted at either institution, however,
in the courses which it may be de
termined o transfer to the other
school.

E
MEASURE FOR SANITATION EN
DORSED BY VOTE OF 31 TO'
1 AFTER DEBATE
ROAD BETTERMENT PROGRESS MADE
Organization Discusses (Many Matters
of Public Importance Discov
ery Made That By-Laws
Are Lost
Members of the Live Wires, meet
ing for their regular weekly luncheon
in the Commercial club rooms Tues
day noon, found so many matters of
importance to take up that the quar
terly election was postponed for a
week, and the time taken in discus
sing matters pending. Prime interest
centered about the report of the civic
improvement committee, which re
ported a growing sentiment in favor
of better municipal conditions, and
which announced a forthcoming in
spection of the barns of the city, to
note what improvements had been
made. .
Mention of barns brought up the
barn ordinance, passed by the council
May 20 at the suggestion of the Live
Wires. George Randall, , Grant B.
Dimick and John W. Loder opposed
the measure strongly, and stated that
they believed it ought to be repealed.
Dr. VanBrakle, Dr. L. A. Morris and
City Recorder Livy Stipp spoke in its
favor, and Mr. Stipp, in an address
in which words were not at all veiled
by expressions of parliamentary ele
gance, swung the sentiment of the
meeting in favor of the law. Mr. Stipp
declared that the ordinance was no
more drastic than necessary, that it
would work no hardship, upon people
that were trying to keep their stock
in a sanitary condition, and that its
enforecement was a virtual necessity
if the larger livery and work barns of
the city were to be put into a condi
tion that was safe either for the an
imals or the men working in them.
W. S. U'Ren, at the close of the re
marks, moved that the Live Wires en
dorse the action of the council in
passing the measure, and his motion
carried by a vote of 31 to 1, George
Randall being the only-member who
remained true to his earlier convic
tions. jvEerviem lnflgo pa etve
For the special road committee, ap
pointed to obtain an oiled highway
from Oregon City to Portland, Don E.
Meldrum reported satisfactory pro
gress. He said that arrangements had
already made for. oiling and improv
ing the Portland highway from the
city limits to the Baby Home, and that
Gladstone would look after its share.
Promising reports for the halance of
the work were recived.
C. Schuebel endeavored to get the
Live Wires to take a hand in getting
the name of the proposed city of
Millsburg changed to West Oregon
City. B. T. McBain said this could
not be done as the postal authorities
would not stand for towns with trip
pie names. Mir. Schuebel also urged
that the citizens of the new city be
urged to see to it that their charter
provided that all improvements be
paid for out of the funds raised by
general taxation.
A petition bearing 167 names was
received uring the Live Wires to lend
their aid in the establishment of an
industrial -Y. M. C. A. here. Though
the suggestion was favorably received
it was voted towait until more names
had been secured for the plau.
J. E. Hedges made a suggestion at
the close of the meeting that an
amendment be adopted to the by-laws,
and it was then discovered that there
were no such laws to be amended, the
only copy of them having been lost.
Mr. Hedges and E. E. Brodie wer-3 ap
pointed a committee to draw new by
laws. AINSBERRY JAILED '

This photo is a silent but eloquent commentary on the work of the Eng
lish militant suffragettes. The pictare shows tha ruins of the Hurst's
Park Race course after a fire started by the Pankhurst followers. We are
glad if they are bent cn burning things up that they are now turning their
attention to race courses instead of churches.
But what's the answer? Will such methods accomplish anything in the
long run? We suppose the English women hava handled the Englisi mon
long enough, to know the most effective methods, but to an American "ui
a tree" it looks fool hardy.
The American women have compaigned in a business-like manner and
they have made advances far more rapidly than their English "sistern," and
cuey are steaauy gaining in power.
