Yakima and Walla Walla Valleys.
"We are building at present a trans
mission line which will be a connecting
link between systems of which Walla
Walla is the center, and the system in
'the Yakima Valley. This will enable
us, when there is a shortage of power
in either center, to help out with

PRICE KEEPS. UP FIGHT
EFFORT MADE TO EVADE ORDER
FROM CALIFORNL.
Kept in Jail on Local Charge, De
fendant's Attorney Will Resist
Effort to Remove.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. June 24.
(Special.) Detective Lord, of San
Francisco, arrived this evening from
Salem, where he had secured requisi
tion papers to take George L. Price, the
telephone promoter, to California to
answer the charge of issuing fictitious
checks.
Lord says Price is the man wanted,
but from present Indications he must
make a fight to get his man out of the
Jurisdiction of the local courts. This
afternoon, when Price was arraigned
on the local charge under which he
was arrested when released yesterday
by habeas corpus, his attorney, C. M.
O'Neill, waived preliminary hearing,
and he was bound over to the grand
Jury under $2500 bonds.
While the District Attorney will
make no statement other than Price
will be turned over to the San Fran
cisco offloer in the morning, O'Neill
said .the requisition was of no effect,
and as Price was charged with a local
crime and held to the grand Jury, he
would see that he was not taken out
of town until that body acted on the
charge of disposing of lottery tickets
made against Price.
He said he knew nothing of Price's
record in California, but he believed
in fair play, and it seemed the officers
only brought the charge to hold the
man, but he intended to see now that
he was kept here for the action of
the grand Jury in the matter. He said
further that If the local officials turned
Price over to the California officer, and
Lord attempted to take the prisoner out
of town, they would then be guilty of
kidnaping, and he -would see to it that
the law in this regard was enforced.

NEW FRANCHISE OFFERED
Ashland to Vote on Modified Street
Railway Grant.
ASHLAND, Or., June 24. (Special.)
The Ashland City Council, following the
recent action of the voters of the city
in rejecting by a small majority the
street railroad franchise asked by John
R. Allen has directed the Mayor and
Recorder to draw up a form of fran
chise acceptable to the people and, it
is hoped, to Mr. Allen.
The people voted down the franchise
first proposed, believing - that it was
too liberal, and that all such measures
for such a long period of time should
have greater safeguards for the city's
Interests.
Officer Arrives for Price.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., June 24
(Special.) Detective F. Lord arrived

pers for George L. Price, the telephone

Instead, Development of Water
Power Would Be Welcomed -J..
J. Browne Ridicules Idea of
Huge Trust Controlling.
PHXDLETTOX. Or., June 24. (Special.)
Attacking the policy of conservation
in general and declaring that It is crip
pling the manufacturing industry of the
Pacific Coast and hindering development
of the country, J. J. Browne, of Spokane,
president of the Columbia Valley Bank
of Wenatchee, and president of the Coeur
d'Alene Bank & Trust Company, created
a sensation this afternoon at the session
of the fifth annual convention of the
State Bankers' Association, which began
its sessions here this morning.
He was not on the programme, and his
speech was delivered near the close of
the afternoon session, when as a promi
nent visitor, he was invited to address
the convention. In response to the invi
tation he said the only subject on which
he was prepared to speak was "Conser
vation." Bankers Cheer Address.
He launched forth on such an eloquent
condemnation of the policy so dear to
the hearts of Plnchot and his followers
that the audience of bankers was soon
cheering him wildly.
At the close of his address the dele
gates crowded around to grasp him by
the hand.
Inetead of fearing that someone would
grab up our water-power sites and our
mines, he said, the people of .the North
west should welcome with open arms
anyone who should come out and build
dams and erect factories and power
plants. He ridiculed the suggestion that
there was any -danger of any trust get
ting control of all the water-power avail,
able in the United States, and Instanced
that to be found in the Columbia River
basin and the Puget Sound, saying that if
it should be developed at the rate of 10,000
horsepower a year It would require 2440
years, or 600 years longer than from
the Christian Era to the present time, to
develop It all.
Unequal Taxation Defined.
The speaker declared that the policy
of demanding a royalty for the use of
the water-power, for the coal to be taken
from the mines and the timber to be
taken from the forests, was equal to a
tax upon the states west of the Rocky
Mountains, and not upon the older states.
He expressed a willingness to pay a
tax upon anything that all the states
were taxed upon, but unwilling to pay
a tax upon anything, little or big, that
the older states were not compelled to
pay.
About 75 ' bankers are attending the
convention from various parts of Ore
gon. Tonight they are enjoying a smoker
and boxing match, while tomorrow they
will be taken on a 25-mile automobile
ride across the wheat belt to Wenaha
Springs, where a trout banquet will be
served.
The election of officers and selection of
next place of meeting will take place to
morrow, r

Portland's Most Beautiful Residence Park
Liaurelhurst has so many advantages over any other residence scetion of Portland and so many exclusive features that it is
almost impossible to make any comparisons. There is only one way that Laurelhurst can be appreciated, and that is after
a visit to the tract. For instance :
'The location of beautiful Ladd Park in the center of Laurelhurst is one of its most exclusive features. No person can visit
this park without realizing the immense future demand for residence sites in this neighborhood. The rare natural advan

and the graceful curving boulevards afford such a comparison to the straight, stiff streets so common to other sections.
Its high-grade improvements, its convenience to the business and shopping districts of the city, its proximity being only

Board of Education and that he should
be wholly free from any official con
nection with any state Institution.
Considerable opposition was raised
against the plan of state examination of
high school pupils, the principals and
superintendents being of the opinion that
they were the best judges of the pupils'
fitness for promotion and for entrance
to the higher institutions.
Superintendent Stockton, of Eugene,
will present the topic today.

It is a safe medicine in any condition of the system.
