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. Lord, fraternal delegate
from the Washington State Grange and
jiast state lecturer of the New York
State Grange, was the principal speak
er before the meeting today. She was
friven a cordial reception and will carry
back with her the fraternal greetings
of the granges of Oregon.
Installation of the newly-elected offi
cers took place In the evening and the
grange closed at midnight with a jolli
fication and many expressions of fra
ternal joyousness. At the close of the
Installation ceremonies, when State Lec
turer J. J. Johnson surrendered l..s
badge of office to his successor he was
the recipient of a gold watch, suitably
engraved, as a mark of esteem and
confidence. 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.

LAND SALE POSTPONED
Scope Enlarged and Date Reset for
August 4.
M
OLTMPIA, Wash., May 13. (Special.)
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-

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

UNIVERSITY FIGHTS
FOR PURER ITER
Citizens of Eugene Asked to
Vote Bonds for' $25,000
Filtering Plant.
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. P. I,. OAMPBELU

of the carnival, and as the children
passed they were greeted with generous
applause. Ahead of the O. A. C. cadet
band were the marshals of the day. and
behind these marched the police officers
and Prof. L. L. Baker and Prof. P. M.
Coram. Large banners, worked "Watch
Us Grow," were evident on every hand,
as were huge strawberries, expressing
the origin of the occasion.
This afternoon was given over to sports
and band concerts, the festivities of the
day closing with a grand ball at the Ar
mory tonight. The feature of the latter
was the grand march, led by Mayor Fred
Haynes of Roseburg and Mrs. Frank
Benson, of Salem.

prove most entertaining. Aside from va
rious other exhibitors throughout the
county, F. E. Alley, owner of the Bono
day Stock Farm, will display over 30 of
his fast horses, as well as 15 head of
standard-bred Jerseys. It is estimated

visitors.
The Judges of stock will be W. W.

That Mrs. William Gohl is attempting
to raise a fund in this city to assist her

There are many Germans in this city,

that may be needed.
Should the motion for a new trial be
granted, the county would again have to
stand the expense of legal counsel for

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.
