CUBES ALL KIDNEY TROUBLE ANKENY MEN DID MEEI MOVEMENT STRIKES SNAG Politics Scented in Effort to Hold l'p Appropriation Signers Ask Name? Be Removed When They See the Merit of the Issue. LBAXT, Or.. April 11. rSpeclaU It is announced in Albany today that the 500 names which have been signed to the petition railing; for a reference to the peo ple of the University of .Oregon appro priation bill have not been properly veri fied, and that the entire work must be commenced over again. Also it is stated that the petition itself does not contain all that is required by the referendum law. and that the two reasons will to gether vitiate the work accomplished thus far. The petitions were prepared by Tll mon Ford, of Salem, and the defects are credited to those who launched the refer endum. The announcement that the work of the referendum workers thus far Is null and void Is not received with a uniform feel ing of regret here. There Is a feeling among many right here in Linn County, where the agitation against the Univer sity appropriation first showed symptoms of life, that the movement smacks of In sincerity, personal animus and possibly politics. Some prominent citizens have investi gated the matter of appropriations for state schools of higher learning and have ascertained that the increase in appro priation for the Agricultural College at I'orvallls wag greater than that for the University: that the annual maintenance fund for the CTorvallis school was doubled from S2E.O0O to S5O.00O; that a building fund of H3O.O0O for the next two years was Bdded; that these appropriations, when idded to the $10,000 or $12,000 annually re relved from the Interest on school land fund and the large appropriations from the Federal Government, make the funds available for the Oregon Agricultural Col. lege during the next two years greater than that available for the State Univer sity. Men who have investigated this have no feeling against the Agricultural College Kir t,he University, but do feel that if the motive of the referendum people Is only one of retrenchment and an effort to curtail the expense of higher educational institutions supported by the state, it should reach all of those institutions which are drawing upon the public purse, and In no event should it be directed at the State University alone. That this feeling Is growing here Is'evi denced by the fact that a prominent citl ren and taxpayer, since signing the refer endum petition, has applied to the County Clerk to have his name stricken from the petition, lie. among others, feels that the effort is at least misdirected. It doesn't strike at the entire higher educational system, nor does It strike at that portion of the system which is most condemned the normal schools. The feeling Is gain ing Kreund that the intelligent way to go at the business, and settle It for all time to come. Is to use the initiative and let the people, at the next election, settle the entire educational question. Then again, those that are active in talking the referendum on the University bill devote much time to lamenting the fact that the public school system of the state does not receive anything like the money it should, compared with that de voted to higher education. Kut none of them initiated a bill at the last election to increase the money available for pub. lie schools, nor any other measure to give a full nine months' school to boys and girls in the rural districts. Nor will the referendum on the University bill ac complish that result. They are, however, attacking the only state Institution that has made Its courses of study fit on to the public school system of the state. LOYAL TO THE UNIVERSITY Sentiment In Clackamas Favorable to the S1C5.000 Appropriation. OREGON CITY, Or., April 11 (Special ) W. S. U'Ren is authority for the belief that the sentiment of the members of the Grange in Clackamas County Is for the $1-5.000 appropriation for the State Uni versity, and stated today that the head lines on the report of the Pomona District Grange meeting at Harding yesterday are somewhat misleading, as r.either himself lior President Campbell advocated any resolutlon. as the Gill resolution was in troduced after the open meeting had ad journed. "I was not aware until I had read The Oregonlan this morning that suoh a reso lution was introduced." said Mr. U'Ren, "M neither President Campbell nor my self advocated any resolution on the uni versity appropriation. President Campbell tfoke for about half an hour and then answered questions for nearly an hour. Captain Apperson spoke ahout ten min ute and advised that no resolution be of fered or pnwed approving or condemning the referendum on the university appro priation bill, because he said the question of using the referendum should be de rided always by calm reason. No man's Intellect or Integrity should be questioned or condemned for advocating a referen dum petition against any law he believed lo he unjust or unwise. Captain Apperson expressed ray sentiments perfectly, and I suppose President Campbell's also, be cause he made no comment whatever. The university appropriation was dis cussed In open meeting for more than two hours. "It seemed to me that the sense of the meeting was almost unanimously friendly to the university and to the appropriation bill, as well as to the largest possible ex penditure that van be afTorded for educa tional work, all the way from the district school to the university .' LANDS ADDED TO TAX-ROLLS All Troprrty Bought From State to Be Assessed. OLTMFTA. Wash . Arri! 11 iKt..-i.i Many thousands of dollars' worth of prop srty mill be added this year to the assess ment rolls in every county In the state as a result of work now heing done by a busy sextet of stenographers employed in the office of I-and Commissioner B. TV. R". Under the direction of Mr. Ross the office force is busily engaged in mak ing up In detail a list of all deeds and contracts of state lands and bills of sale of state timber executed from March 1. 1SOS. to March 1. 1907.

Under the state laws, purchasers or state lands, even un der ten-year contracts, have to pay the taxes from date of transfer. During the period covered by the report there have been enormous sales of state Aberdeen Paper Reiterate State ment Regarding Situation. ABERDEEN. Wash.. April 11. (Special ! The Aberdeen Bulletin tonight says of the recent article concerning the Ankeny conference at Walla Walla: The Bulletin must reiterate all that it stated in Tuesday's article. The allega. tlon that a .meeting of Ankeny men waa not held at Walla Walla is incorrect. The meeting was held and there were 15 prominent politicians present. While not all were classed as out and out Ankeny men, the Bulletin is reliably informed, by one of the gentlemen present, that An keny's friends were vastly in the majority at the conference. The Senator was not present, but it has not been stated that he waa In attendance. The Bulletin's in formant says the question of the Sena tor's candidacy two years hence was thoroughly discussed, and it was decided , that he could not be re-elected. The? conferees agreed that it would be neces sary to groom some other man, even at this early date, and there was a unanim ity of sctiment in favor of Congressman Jones. One of the conferees declares again in positive, terms that the Ankeny followers of the meeting declared their willingness to support Jones for Senator, but that the Western Washington candi date for Governor must be some other than Albert Il'Mead. The Buletln's in formant stands by his original statement, and as he was present, his narrative may be regarded as accurate, despite the Sen ator's heated denial.

ROADS TO HOLD COXFEREXCE Admission of Oregon & Washington to Seattle to Be Talked Over. SEATTLE, Wash., April 11 (Special.) A conference will be held Saturday be tween representatives of the Northern Pacific. Gerat Northern. Pacific Coast Company, Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Harrlman interests, to discuss the terms of the new Oregon A Washington franchise, which is- to be Introduced in the Council next Monday. In so far as possible, all disagreements between the railroads will be settled be fore the final draft of the Oregon & Washington's new franchise Is completed. If an understanding can be had between the railroads, all that will be necessary for the Harrlman line to do after the or dinance is indorsed Is to effect an agree ment with the city. The first Harrlman franchise was met by bitter opposition from the Great Northern and the flaws that road picked with the routes the Oregon & Washington sought had more to do with delays and the ultimate postponement of the grant than any other single cause. In a general way. the Hill and Harrl man roads are agreed upon the terms of the new franchise the Oregon Wash ington wants. The Pacific Coast Companj Interests in the Oolunmhia & Puget Sound terminals do not conflict seriously with anything the Oregon Washington must have, and it Is not believed the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul will find anything to object to in the new grant.

The citizens of Lorane Val ley, a farming section 12 miles west of here, have been terrorized during the past few months by a, stranger who has committed a number of theft3 of small consideration.

A crowd organized themselves to cap ture him, and In searching, last night, Melvin J. Fenwlch, an old hunter, started to enter a cabin where the man was supposed to stay. As he started to open the door the fugitive commenced to fire at Fen wlch. Fenwich retreated a short dis tance and returned the fire. After a number of shots were exchanged, Fen wich went to his comrades for assist ance. They soon returned and sur rounded the cabin, but the stranger had disappeared. Entering the place, the officers found a pool of blood on the floor, with blankets and other stuff cut for bandages. The unknown man, supposing the of ficer was watching at the door, made his escape through the rear window. This morning the officers continued their search, and at noon a telephone message was received saying he had changed his shoes a short distance from the cabin and blood was found on a log, but no further trace was found of him. The stranger is said to be a for eigner and is considered by many to be demented. DOUBLE-TRACK IXTER-LTiBAX Improvements Planned for Seattle- Tacoma Electric Line. T A COMA, Wash.. April 11.

OZOMULS'ON LABORATORIES A Cigar Wrapper Often Covers a Multitude of Sins You know quite well that there are many cigars sold for live cents that are very poor quality. They are sold on appearance. A fine appearing- wrapper, a handsome " gold oand or a pretty box-lid may cover a multitude of sins, but it is the filler, the inside of a cigar, that deter mines its smoking quality. Modern manufacture exemplified in the American Cigar Company's products has grown way above this un fortunate method of doing business and assures a cigar that is honest all through. The "Triangle A merit mark on a box of cigars means that every sprig of leaf in every cigar in the box was graded especially oy experts for that one brand, two years before it was made ; that during this time the leaf has mellowed in great, clean warehouses in a perfect tem perature till all its finest qualities are brought to a point of perfection. These are some of the reasons why "Triangle A" cigars smoke with the fine mellow flavor that you thought was only to be found in expensive brands ; why every "Triangle A" cigar has an even flavor and aroma from end to end; why every cigar of each "Triangle A" brand smokes just the same. "Triangle A" cigars cost you no more than the 'mixed" cigars though they are worth twice as much. Look for the "A" (Triangle A) when you buy cigars. " Triangle A " brands offer the widest obtainable range of choice, and absolutely dependable quality in whatever brand suits your taste. You'll never find a better brand to make the test with than The New CREMO Every box is now extra-wrapped in glassine paper, sealed at each end with the "Triangle A" in red. The cigars are kept clean, fresh and in perfect smoking condition until the box is opened. AMERICAN CIGAR COMPANY Manufacturer Merit . kMark 1Mt .rt.a:. v.w York.
