There will be 230 delegates In the as sembly, the representation being based upon the vote for the Taft electors In the 1908 election.

Viola 3. west Oregon (Jity , sunnysiae Lrover There is a movement on foot to nul lify the work of the Republican Coun ty Central Committee In calling a coun ty assembly to elect 55 delegates to tne state assembly, and some of the anti-assembly people are said to be at work in the country districts in an attempt to create sentiment against the county assembly with-the expecta tion that the delegates to the county gathering will be hostile to the whole assembly plan. If this movement Is successful, which l.i doubtful, then,- with a majority In the county assembly, that body will decline to send delegates to the stai-s assembly and after passing resolutions condemning the assembly plan, will ad journ. With tho be'lef that such a movement Is being pushed, the friends of the assembly probably will do con siderable quiet active work next week In support of the position taken by the County Central Committee. It has been learned that the sentl ment among the farmers is greater for the assembly plan in Clackamas Coun ty that was originally supposed. In view of the fact that Clackamas is the home of Mr. U'Ren and that heavy ma jorities were returned for the measures that he stands for, it was supposed that the sentiment against the as sembly movement would be overwhelm ing. But experienced men In political affairs say that there has been a change and the Trlncipal reason for the new aspect of affairs is simply that under the direct primary plan of operation the nominations for county officers have all gone to Oregon City, and the peop'e in the country are getting prac tically no representation In the Court house. This is a condition that Is indlsput able and one that is not at all satis factory to the country districts, and whie the farmers ivill decry any at tempt to destroy the direct primary law, they think It should be amended In some manner so as to eliminate the objectionable features. ELECTRIC LINE PLANNED ROAD WILL BE CONSTRUCTED VP WHITE SALMON. Business Men Ready to Finance Project to Serve Fertile Fruit and Grain Land. HUSUM, Wash., June 29. (Special. That Husum will be on the line of an electric railway," the building of which has not been made known to the general public, Is asserted here. The promoters of the undertaking are among the best- known business men of White Salmon and the financial backing is sufficient to carry out the construction of the road as outlined. The rapid development of orchard grain and hay lands throughout the White Salmon Valley, and the numerous sawmills being Installed in the heavy belts of yellow pine and fir, call for transportation facilities. Realizing the advantages to be derived from the building of an electric road, C. M. Wolfard, R. Lauterbach, C. L. Col burn, George F. Jewett, T. Wyers and others, of White Salmon, have been quietly at work for several weeks rata lng funds to make a thorough survey of the proposed line, one of the best rail road -engineers of the Seattle, Portland & Spokane road has been engaged to make the survey and estimate the cost of construction of a road covering about 60 miles.

SLAYER'S APPEAL HEARD On Grounds of Insanity, Roselalr Seeks New Trial. SALEM, Or., June 29. (Special.) On the plea of insanity at the time the crime was committed. Attorney John Jeffrey I presented argument for the appellant, John B. Roselalr, to the Supreme Court , mis morning. Jrcoseiair was convicted of murder In the . first degree for the laying of his wife in a lonely cabin near Hillsboro, in Washington County, May 6, 1909. Judge J. U. Campbell, In the lower court, imposed the death penalty on the defendant, frorg. which sentence the ap peal is taken. In asking that the Judgment of the lower court be reversed and the case re manded for a new trial, arguments for the appellant ere that "the court erred in refusing to hear the preliminary proof as to the competency of the defendant's confession In the absence of the jury, and in hearing the same in their presence and over the objections of defendants' counsel"; also "the court erred in refus--ing to withdraw from the consideration of the jury the question of the defend ant's guilt or innocence of murder n the first degree and In submitting said de gree to the jury." Another error advanced is that "the court erred In allowing the expert wit nesses on Insanity to testify as to whether or not defendant understood the nature and quality of his act In killing the deceased and the consequences of the same." Attorney for the defendant as serts that there is no proof that the de sign to kill was formed and matured in cool blood end not hastily on the occa sion. . The court also heard arguments in the case of the State versus James McAvoy, appealed from the Lane County Court, Judge J. W. Hamilton presiding. Deputy District Attorney George F. Sklpworth appeared for the state and M. Vernon Parsons for the appellant.. An indict ment was returned by the lower court .March 8, 1910, on the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, on which a five-year sentence was imposed- WHY "LICENSED LIARS?" MOCK JEWELRY AUCTIONS THAT FLEECE THE PUBLIC. Southern Oregon Man Relates His Experience in Portland at the Rose Carnival. GRANTS PASS, Or., June 27. (Spe cial.) To the Editor I have no ticed some discussion in The Orego nlan with regard to the gypsy women who are plying their trade of fortune telling in the guise of phrenologists in the City of Portland. I have noticed these women In your city and think the remarks I have seen in your paper are well placed and that the nuisance should be abated, but I cannot understand why this petty form of grafting Is pounced on so ferocious ly and other forms, such as auction selling of cheap jewelry, are receiving such little attention from would-be re formers. Is it because auctioneers pay more for a chance to pilfer the unwary? I have seen them operating in Portland time and-again, as. In fact, they seem to be doing in all large cities, and I hear no voice raised against them. I have stood by and seen them "cheat the eye-teeth" out of one after another of unsuspecting persons by the most out rageous lying, coupled with the assist ance of paid hirelings in the form of blind bidders, etc., and I am amazed to think a city boasting of a decent government would allow it to be pos sible for such low-down, depraved set of liars, to get a license to. fleece the public in such a manner. '. I was in your city during the re cent Rose Carnival and. as I was saun tering along Sixth street one day, see ing an auction sale of jewelry - under way, I stepped in to see how things were going. I was . immediately in vited to bid on a watch which was be ing lauded to the skies by the unprin cipled liar who was auctioning the goods. I explained that I already pos sessed a good watch and didn't care to buy, but being pressed to do so I took look at the watch, which was a cheap affair such as should sell ordinarily at or i. It was marked "Locomotive Special, 23 jewel, adjusted, patent le ver regulator' and was represented to sell regularly at $40. I didn't bid, but saw It knocked down to an honest- looking fellow at $15. "Given away, not sold," said the licensed liar. I stood and watched the outrageous robbing for the best part of an hour. but as the auctioneer saw I was not bidding he naturally desired my de parture and to that end directed a few caustic remarks In my direction. I thought I would stick a while and see to what extent he would -go, which I soon learned. . He calmly called me a knocker and explained to the little crowd present that a knocker was a person with no known father. I nat urally resented the Insult and in the little melee that followed I learned that five persons out of the eight pres ent were directly Interested n the day light robbery the auctioneer was con ducting. I am anxious to see this letter In The Oregonlan, of which I am a con stant reader and which I have noticed always stands for a square deal. I am always standing right square back of anything I have said and can always be found and will take the mat ter up with any one who may be Inter ested at any time, and will stick for a square deal at any odds. E. E. MORGAN. FARMER SUES RAILROAD Dams Change River Channel and Farm' Ruined, Is Charged. ALBANY, Or., June 29. (Special.) J. R. Cartwrlght. of Harrtsburg, today sued the Southern Pacific Company for $16,104.00 damages for the alleged ruin ation of a large part of his farm be cause the company maintains, wing dams above its railroad bridge across the Willamette River at Hart-isburg. Cartwrlght owns a farm of 400 acres adjoining the Willamette River at Harrlsburg. In 1905 the railroad com pany constructed four , wing dams In the Willamette and the complaint al leges that these dams have changed the channel of the river so that It now flows through the Cartwrlght farm. One tract of 49 acres is cut off from the remainder of his place by the new channel, he alleges, while before the dams were built it was all In one tract. Cartwrlght also says that two differ ent tracts, one of 14.38 acres and the other of 13.82 acres, have been ruined by wash and gravel and that the land now occupied by the new channel con sists of 19 acres, not Including 1H acres now In a slough because of the shifting channel. He also asserts that there is as much as 204 acres more- of his farm which is exposed and liable to be washed and destroyed.' Tne complaint asserts that this land Is worth $300 per acre and Cartwrlght atks for $14,604 on account of the ruin ation of the land already rendered worthless because of the changing of the channel. He also demands . $500 damages on account of having his lands divided by the channel and $1000 damages on account of drift and logs being washed upon his lands. He also asks the court to force the Southern Pacific to remove the wing dams and permit the river to go back to its old channel, which, he declares, would be the result If the dams were removed.
