Movement Has StrncU a Popular Chord and Voluntary Subscrip tions Arc Now Expected. Over 5500 more was pledged to the pro posed free swimming bath ' yesterday, through the convass of Edward Holman and Ii. Samuels. They will now rest for a time and wait for pledges to come in. The movement has struck a popular chord and It may reasonably be expected that many pools of small sums will be made up among wage earners. Their ag gregate can not help but be large. George McMillan, the well-known ath lete, Is arranging a baseball game between employes In the Courthouse and those In the Federal service, every cent to be a clear benefit for the free swimming baths. It will take place as soon as there Is an open Sunday at League Park, which Is engaged for the two coming Sundays. The baseball club has generously tendered the free use of the grounds for the first open Sunday. One of the pleasing pledges yesterday was the following, which oame by mail unsolicited: Portland. July 25. Messrs. Holman and Sam uel, Free-Bath Solicitors, Portland. Or.

The queer real estate deal in which Simon Benson, a logger who lives at Six teenth and East "Morrison streets, loaned $600 to James Campbell on 157 acres of land In Pacific County, was investigated yesterday before Municipal Judge Cam eron. Benson testified that Campbell then knew he had no title to the land in ques tion, and that Campbell obtained the $600 by false pretenses when he took the money. Evidence was produced showing that James Campbell, the defendant, was the owner of the land up to June, 1S93, but that on June 19, 1893, he transferred the property to Patrick and Edward Campbell, his brothers, for a considera tion of $1000. It was also shown that Pat rick Campbell, who is now dead, trans ferred his Interest for $5 to five members of his family, but not Including the de fendant. Benson produced a mortgage dated November 15, 1900, by which the defendant transferred the title to the land to witness for $600. The witness stated that he afterward discovered that the de fendant had no title to the property, and that the defendant then admitted having sold the land to his brothers, on the un derstanding that they would not place the deed on record. The defendant alleged that his brothers agreed to recognize him as the owner of the land, at any conven ient time. There will be a further hear ing in the case this afternoon. REVENUE TAX ON BONDS. Executors, Administrators, Etc., Must Still Affix OO-Cent Stamps. The following rulings of Commissioner Yerkes, of the Internal Revenue Depart, ment, which have Just been received by D. M. Dunne, Collector of Internal Rev enue, will be of interest to many: Bonds ofexecutors and administrators require stamps under the amended rev enue act. The act of March 2, 1901, In amending the act of Jiine 13. 189S, omits the exemption from tax of bonds required in legal proceedings, and re-enacts the provision requiring stamps on bonds for the due execution or performance of the duties of. any office or position, and to to meet every requirement; fit all men and cost all prices from 50c to $2.25 each.

I i M n In ma Ml ' MWMEMWMWMMWMMr , - To Our Fellow-Citizens In two days we have received pledges for nearly $1100 toward the building of the Free Swimming Bath. This is exclu sive of our personal subscriptions or the amount received by The Orego nlan. As the very generous offer of Mr. Isensee of a house and lot can only be used as a maintenance fund, It leaves the total sum now available in cash from all sources $1800- for the bulldlng'of the baths. Itwill re quire $3200 additional, and this can and ought to.be subscribed in one day if every citizen who has not already subscribed will -promptly fill out the coupon attached to this and mall to The Oregonian or to either of the undersigned. Please send no checks or money wffh the coupon, as the baths can probably not be built unless $5000 can fce had. The generous sum already subscribed demonstrates that a Free Swimming Bath is want ed in Portland, but it will take very much less of our time if every citizen will act as his own soliciting committee and persuade himself to send in a generous subscription today. All persons or firms who have asked us to call again are respectfully InVIted to send us their subscriptions. EDWARD "HOLMAN, Fourth and' Yamhill Streets. L. SAMUEL,, 306 Oregonian Building.

In the opinion of Commissioner Yerkes this legislation indicates the in tention of Congress to Impose a tax on the bonds of executors and adminstra tors and It Is therefore ruled that the bonds of executors and administrators each require a 50-cent stamp If delivered on or after July 1, 1901. The bonds of guardians, receivers or trustees appointed by the court are also liable to tax on and after July 1, 1901, for the same reason. Other bonds used In legal proceedings, 6uch as prosecution bonds, Injunction bonds, bonds upon appeal or writ of er ror, bonds for costs and bonds given In claim and del'very actfons for property are not taxable. In regard to stamps on drafts, Com missioner Yerkes has ruled that a draft drawn with the words "at sight" erased and the words "on arrival of goods" sub stituted therefor is a draft drawn other wise than at sight or on demand. nd Is liable to tax: also a sight draft on which Is printed, "If requested hold until ar rival of goods allow inspection," Is a draft drawn otherwise than at sight or on demand and Is liable to tax. EARLY OREGON PRESSES. Old Wells Machine Still In IJse In Junction City. PORTLAND, July 25. (To the Editor.) From data collected by the writer, but overlooked by him In the preparation of an article on early printing In Portland, published recently, the following lnfor. matlon Is offered: The press referred to In that article as a "Wells" press, and which Is now In the office of the Junction City Times, was sent with a complete newspaper dress by a number of Episco pal Sunday schools In Massachusetts and Rhode Island to Bishop Scott, the first missionary bishop of Oregon, as the result of a suggestion by Rev. George M. Ran dall, D. D., of Boston. The outfit arrived In Oregon early in 1859. Soon after the press was secured by S. A. English & Co., and used to print the Portland Dally News, the first dally In this city, the first issue of which was on April 20, 1859. When the paper collapsed, about a year later, It is believed, the press was stored with Couch & Flanders. In September. 1861, Bishop Scott arranged with D. W. Craig, then at Oregon City printing the Argus, to print The Oregon Churchman, and caused the newspaper dress above referred to to be placed In his custody. Mr. Craig, having a press of his own. the plant of The Oregon Spectator, had no use for the other press, consequently It remained In storage for a number of years. Finally, late In the '60s, or perhaps early in the '70s, at the suggestion of Mr. Craig, It was bought by J. H. Upton and used In printing the La Fayette Cour ier, In Yamhill County. It lacked a little of being large enough to serve Mr Up ton's purpose, hence he had the platen shipped to Salem, where B. F. Drake added five-eighths of an Inch to each end of the platen, which addition to the orig inal size made It sufficiently large to fill all requirements. The data Is not at hand at present to trace the changes In owner ship up to the present date. The Specta tor press, which was brought to Oregon In 1845, before referred to, and upon which the Oregon City Argus was printed during Its life, was removed to Salem, and later on, through an exchange, was sent to Eugene, and for about 35 years has been used by Harrison R. KIncald In printing the State Journal. GEORGE H. HIMES. SOLDIERS ARRIVE. One Compnny of G2 Go to Fort Cnnby Others to Puget Sound. About 300 soldiers arrived from San Francisco last evening, en route to va rious points on the Northwest Coast. A company of 71 men and two officers of the Thirty-second Artillery were bound for Fort Lawton. on Puget Sound. A com pany of the Thirty-third, consisting of 62 men and two officers, were on their way to Fort Canby, at the mouth of the Columbia, where they will remain until Fort Columbia, on the Washington side, la ready for their reception. A company of 75 convalescent soldiers from all points were en route to Fort Flagler, on Puget Sound, where the Gov ernment considers the bracing air will soon restore the men to health and strength. Another company of 67 con valescents went on to Fort Canby, by the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad, the train being held at the Grand Central station until the arrival of the Southern Pacific. It'8 Com In sr. Consult the weather prophets: they will tell you, and they ought to know, that the hot wave now hanging over Missouri and Kansas Is likely to move west at any time, and it is now expected will reach this part of the country next week. Take warning In time and get away to the coast?, where oppressive heat has never been known. The expense is trifling, and the transportation facilities for reaching the seashore are the very best.
