Lord, of Washington State Grange, Addresses Conven tion Newly Elected Officers Are Formally Installed. OREGON CITT. Or., May 13. (Special.) Judge Webster's pat plan of bonding counties for purposes of road construc tion received a setback when the report Of the good roads committee came up this morning for final action before the State Grange Convention. The commit tee recommended that road funds be raised by a. special tax and also recom mended that the initiative be Invoked for the removal of any and all constitutional restrictions on the power of the people for obtaining funds and disposal of same for roadwork, and taking all such power from the Legislature. This section to the committee's report was introduced 'aft an amendment to the original report by W. 8. TTRen. The amendment involves the power of the people and. the legislative committee will be instructed to prepare the measure for the ballot next election. In the matter of good roads, the farmers are a unit, but there is some diversity of opinion as to the methods to be pur eued to get them. The County Commis sioners of Clackamas County were called upon for information and Judge Webster was consulted by the committee, but the full pian of raising revenue and expend ing It has not been decided upon, although It was definitely decided that the various counties rfioufld not be bonded. There Is a disposition to favor a state appropriation, and the use of convict la Ior was approved.' It is realized that the now Toads to be built muBt be constructed eo as to resist the wear of automobiles. Judge Webster addressed the grange on Kood roads, advocating bonding the vari ous counties for funds to build them. He advocated an amendment to the State Constitution so as to give the people of every county power to control their own road affairs, and appealed to the State Orange to bring such a condition about. The State Grange committee, which met with tho Federated Trades, opposes the trades' taxation measures and recom mended that the grange do not Join with the federation in this matter nor in dorse Its taxation measures. The committee on woman's work rec ommended a standing- committee of three women to serve for two years, their ex penses to be paid by the State Grange. The recommendation was approved. The new committee on forestry, con sisting of A. C. Thomas, George Gray and A. W. Harmon, submitted a report recommending a more Strict system of protecting our natural resources, and further recommended that the practice of including in our forest reserves logged over, rocky or practically worth less land belonging to individuals or corporations and issuing script In lieu of same be discontinued. The commit tee also suggested a standing commit tee, to be appointed by the master, to give the subject full thought and at tention. The report was adopted. Candidates for the sixth degree last night numbered 164, the work closing with a banquet in the rooms of the Commercial Club, at which over 400 persons were present. Mrs. r. B.

His work during the past two years has been highly appreciated and the watch was bought by a sub scription raised among the members present. The gift was a pleasant sur prise to Mr. Johnson, but was highly appreciated, and the presentation was responded to feelingly in well-chosen words of appreciation.

The -proposed gale of stato capital tim ber lands May 26 has been set aside and a sale will be had August 4 Instead, not only of the lands originally offered in Clark, Skamania and Cowlitz counties, but also of the lands in Skagit and Sno homish counties. The sale was ordered called off at a meeting of the Commission here for the reason that the law regarding advertise ment had not been strictly compiled with. The new sale will call for sealed bids, as did the original call, but bidders will be advised of the value of the land as the appraisement of the lands and tim ber will be made public. The Commissioners present were Gov ernor Hay, Auditor Clausen and Senator Poison, Land Commissioner Ross and Tax Commissioner Frost, of the Board were absent at Seattle at a meeting of the State Land Board. The other absen tee was A. S. .Taylor, of Everett. Cnder the former resolution passed by the Capitol Commission only the lands In Skamania, Clark and Cowlitz counties were to be sold, but as this is regarded as the poorest section of the state cap itol lands it was suggested by Mr. Harris that some good lands be thrown in, and he moved that Snohomish County be in cluded. This was done but as there are only about 200 acres in that county. Aud itor Clausen moved that Skagit with its 2000 acres be included also, and this was done. Governor Hay stated that this was a good plan so it would tend to show how willing the timber buyers are to purchase the state capitol lands and Sen- HILLSBORO AND FOREST GROVE DEBATE FOREST GROVE DEBATING TEAM.

FROGS VIE WITH ACTORS FOND UNDER VANCOUVER THE ATER HAS NOISY COLONY. Citizens Seek Means to Put End to Croakings, but All Efforts So Ear Have Been Futile. VANCOUVER, Wash., May 13. (Spe cial.) Theatrical companies playing in the Auditorium this Spring are having serious competition from a large colony of bullfrogs that has made its home di rectly under the building. From the dis cord that rises nightly there would appear to be thousands of frogs in the pond, which was caused by a fill made by the North Bank Railroad. When Vancouver people went to the Auditorium early this Spring they heard an occasional croak, and little was thought of it. At first it was considered a joke, but the population of frogville multiplied faster than that of Seattle when the Fedoral census-takers are not around. The bullfrog chorus became de cidedly annoying, and on evenings when the frogs are at their best it is an even break between them and the comic opera singers who are occupying the stage above. Unless something is done, it is regarded as only a question of time when the theatrical attractions will have to be limited to matinees, the frogs confining themselves to evening performances. Vancouver citizens are in dead earnest in seeking some means of ridding them selves of their unwelcome neighbors. It has been suggested that the pond be drained, but this would involve much ex pense. Poison has also been offered as a remedy, but the disadvantages of scatter ing this about are obvious. The latest SENIOR CLASS OF ALBANY HIGH SCHOOL CHORES VALEDICTORIAN. J t Mina Anna Johnson.

VEILED THREAT IS SEEN Letter Regarded as Warning That College May Be Moved TJnless Health of Students Is Guarded From Disease. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., May 13. (Special.) President Camp- HIGH SCHOOLS WILL MEET IN MAY 21. jti; bell and members of the University of Oregon faculty took a hand today in the four-year fight to secure pure water in Eugene by issuing a signed letter urging the voters, without fail, to authorize bonds for a modern filtering plant simi lar to the one in rise in Oregon City, The project will come up at a special election next Monday. The plant, it is estimated, would cost $25,000. Four years ago a typhoid fever epi demic caused several deaths among uni versity students, and made it necessary for the college to close for some time. Though many and various remedies have since been under consideration for bet tering the water supply, nothing definite has been accomplished. Colon bacilli, the presence of which usually indicates ty phoid germs, have been found in the water repeatedly on tests by students in the biological department. At most of the student clubs and fraternity houses all water used is first boiled to insure its safety. Paper Threatens Removal. A short time ago the Oregon Emerald, the student paper, declared students would work toward moving the univers ty to Portland unless steps are quickly taken to supply pure water. The action of the faculty is generally considered as being mildly in the nature of a warning that there is real danger Eugene will lose the university unless the water situation is remedied. Mayor Matlock' and the Council, with many leading citizens, are doing all they can to Insure the authorization of the filter plant. The faculty communication follows: "The faculty of the University of Ore gon is deeply sensible of the impropriety of Interfering, under ordinary circum stances, in the municipal affairs of the people bf Eugene, but it cannot refrain from requesting the voters of the city to approve at the polls next Monday the proposition for a gravity system of fil tration of the city's water supply. "A sense of responsibility to the peo ple of the state for the health of the stu dents attending the university compels it to urge favorable action by the voters on this question. "A dreadful epidemic, having its source in the water supply of the city, was suf fered a few years ago. Confidence in the character of its water supply has not been restored, either at home or abroad. A large proportion of the residents of the oity are put to the trouble of boiling all water used for drinking purposes. System Has Been Tested. "Plans for a gravity system of filtra tion have been perfected. This system of filtration has been tested under the worst conditions the world over, and has proved safer than any other means of securing pure water for cities. "Only through the approval of this proposition on Monday, followed by im mediate steps in the construction of a plant, will it be possible to have pure water in Eugene at the opening of the next school year in September. "This gravity system of filtration Is. withal, the most economic yet effective system to establish and maintain. In case a mountain stream supply is later secured this filter plant will still be a valuable supplementary feature of the system. "The university pledges, through its departments of biology, civil engineer ing and chemistry, to aid in supervising the Installation of the plant that its ef fectiveness may be insured to the high est degree.

That Mrs. William Gohl is attempting to raise a fund in this city to assist her husband, convicted of the murder of Charles Hadberg, to defray the expenses of an appeal to the Supreme Court, is reported today. Mrs. Gohl could not be located to confirm the statement. There are many Germans in this city, it Is contended, who sympathise with Gohl and who will aid him.

Should the motion for a new trial be granted, the county would again have to stand the expense of legal counsel for Gohl should Jie fall to provide himself. The costs of appeal would have to be de frayed by Gohl himself. Gohl for a time appeared to be actual ly depressed today. Following a long session with his attorneys, he has had but little to say, even to deputy sheriffs. When spoken to he replied in as few words as possible, and it seems he now realizes he may never again know what it is to be a free man, even though he escapes the gallows. The cost of the trial will not be nearly as large as first Re lieved, and it is now thought that the total expenses will be between $7000 and J8000.

Alameda Park Is the Place to Invest Owing to inahilltv Af thB rtAn0-..n tlon Company to secure rails and angle lronst the extension of Broadway car line from the entrance of Alameda Park to the center of this addition has not been finished on time promised in contract. Therefore, the price advance has been postponed until the carline la actually completed to Twenty-ninth and Mason streets, and the cars are In operation to that point. This will be a matter of a couple of weeks at the most. In the meantime, it is the wise man who makes a selection of a home site in Alameda Park, the place par excel lence for a home. Besides, it has all the elements of a gilt edge investment, as the prices are fully 60 per cent be low present market values, and the Park is developing rapidly. Let any one who is considering the purchase of residence real estate in any section of the city investigate the property by street car. It will be found that some of the so-called high class residence districts are approached through very undesirable sections, so that the fellow passengers in the streetcar are decidedly uncongenial tj-pes Therefore, go by streetcar when investigating.
