OREGON CITT, Or.. July 15. (Spe cial.) Two hundred delegates are ex pected In Oregon City tomorrow from every part of Clackamas County to at tend the Republican county assembly, which will be called to order at 10 o'clock by Chairman Llvy Stipp, of tne County Central Committee, in Wood men of the World hall. The sentiment for assembly is so well developed among a majority of the delegates that there Is no doubt that the 55 delegates to which Clackamas County is entitled In tho state assembly, will be chosen. Kind it - Is probable that the Clackamas assembly Will .recommend a candidate ior joint Senator with Multnomah. Clyde G. Huntley has been mentioned for this office, but O. W. Eastham. an Oregon City attorney, has been working hard for several weeks to secure the recommendation. This county has never had a Joint Senator with Multnomah since the district was created by the Legislature. E. W. Bartlett, an attor ney of Estacada, may try to secure the assembly Indorsement lor joint Repre sentative. What is agitating the minds of the puiuiciuiis ana aeiegaies is tne pros-' peet for the recommendation of a . county ticket, and It has been sug gested during the last day or two that the county assembly seloct delegates o the state meeting and then adjourn until after the state assembly Is held, when a county ticket will be recom mended. Whether this idea will be carried out or not is Impossible to state, but it is known that there are a large number of delegates coming in from Eastern Clackamas who are trongly in favor of recommending a county ticket, and some of them are tearing definite instructions from their respective precincts. No little Interest is being taken In tomorrow's assembly, for every precinct except two or three have elected dele gates, and they will probably all he here in person, ready to support any movement that will asist the Repub lican organization and provide con certed and harmonious action. OPPOSITION SLATE REVEALED Assembly Enemies Plan to Indorse "Direct Primary" Candidates. SALEM, Or., July 15. (Special.) Calling of meetings by the faction known as the "Direct Primary Republicans" in many parts of Marlon County and a grand meeting to be held in Salem in the near future has created considerable comment here. Assembly supporters fail to detect a difference in the leg.il status or these meetings and the meetings of the assembly, which the primary faction lias frequently denounced as unlawful. it Is the understanding that in th lew precinct gatherings which have been hold by the "direct primary" men a lively ngitation has developed to cut down the number of unindorsed names on the ballot to one for every office. The argu anent is set forth that every "direct primary" man who enters "the field ugnlnpt the assembly candidate will strengthen the position of the assembly man. beeauso of a division of the ballots. In consequence, it is understood, that the "direct primary" meetings will be (held for the purpose of whipping those voters into line and centering their at tention on a slate which is being framed to enter the field of nominations. Colonel E. Hofer, one of the most active opponents to the assembly and a candi date for Governor, has been among the foremost in agitating these meetings of the men who have supposedly been op posed to any discussion of candidates or platforms, and has issued a call through the columns of his -paper- for the Salem meeting, which will be held July S3. WOODEN STABLES BAD heedless Danger to Horses by Vse of Such Buildings. PORTLAND, July 15. (To the E- tor.) About two j-nara ogo,,a commuptrj. cation written by me calling atten tion to the urgent need for the proper protection of horses against firetraps was published in The O.-egonian. I then made reference to the old Exposition building. The burning to death in that building of 150 horses in the fire that destroyed it fulfilled a prediction made over and over again, and now the time is surely at hand when something defi nite should be done .for the protection of horses that necessarily must -be placed in city stables. If the housing of horses, and the. chaining, of them in narrow stalls in old. flimsy wooden structures were nec essary, it would perhaps be excusable, but It is needless. It is done because It is thought cheaper. Therefore, this Inhuman and wicked practice should be forever done away with. There are still at least" half a dozen large frame barns in different parts of the city, where 50 or more horses are stalled and every one of these horses would be cre mated in the event of the stables taking fire. I sincerely hope something can be accomplished in the way of provid ing suitable buildings for the housing of horses in this city. Surely the horss has enough sympathizers here. . . GEO. F. KOEHLER.

CHRISTIANIA, July 15. (Special.) Mormon missionaries are at present working very hard in Scandinavia, es pecially In Norway, where -there seems to be particular fertile soil for such movements. The growth of a new Norwegian sect related to this Mormon movement has. In fact, of late caused much uneasiness in Isolated Norwegian districts. The Mormons, however, do not confine their energetic and successful efforts to out-of-the-way places. Without meeting any serious hindrance from the authori ties or the clergy they have established their headquarters In the capltol and have built their temple in Osterhaus street. In Norway and Denmark there are at present 132 Mormon missionaries at work, most of whom are from the United States. Norway is divided by the Mormons into three districts, each with its central city. Christiania is the headquarters for the eastern part of the country, Bergen for the western and Dronthelm for the northern section. In Sweden, whore they are working un der less favorable conditions, there is only one center, but Denmark, like Nor way. Is divided into three districts. In each of the three Norwegian centers there are conferences every Spring and Fall, at which the progress of the propa gandists is blazoned forth. The Mormon congregation in Christiania comprises about 750 adults; there Is a choir of some 60 singers and a Sunday school, divided into seven classes, with 200 scholars. Last year 400 converts were baptized in this central temple, and many more have been baptized this year. The missionaries are propagating Mor monism with astounding fervor and en ergy, by meetings, distribution of tracts and the publication of a special Journal, "The Star of Scandinavia," issued in Copenhagen.

Intangible Personalty, to Be Pat on Rolls Equalization Between Counties Depends on Result. SALEM, Or., July 15. Special.) The State Tax Commission will insist upon a complete assessment of intangible personalty provided under the statute and County Assessors are being directed to pay careful attention to mortgage notes. In a statement which is being sent out today to 'the various County Assessors of the state by Commission ers Charles V. Galloway and J. B. Eaton, the following directions are given as to this class of assessments: "In reviewing the work of the several County Assessors It has -become ap parent that certain classes of property have not been duly considered by all of them. It appears that in some coun ties mortgage notes are practically not listed, or, if listed, only in Instances where the taxpayer fairly Insists that his mortgage notes should be assessed, some Assessors and County ' Boards holding that It is not good public policy to tax such notes. As a matter of course, the taxpayer quickly under stands the attitude of the officers of his county and readily and willingly takes advantage of it, and, as a rule, carefully avoids the inclusion of his mortgage notes in the list of his prop erty furnished the Assessor. On the other hand, many Assessors are making a strong effort to get all classes of property subject to assessment and tax ation upon the roll and. are checking up the record of mortgages In their several counties with that end in view. This course has been Indorsed bv the L Board of State Tax Commissioners and we desire it to be distinctly understood that such diligence on the part of an Assessor Is commended and approved. "Section 1, chapter 268, laws 1907, provides that: 'All real property within the state, and all personal property sit uated or owned within this state, ex cept such as may -be specifically ex empted by law, shall be subject to as sessment and taxation in equal and ratable proportion.' Sections 4 and of said chapter 268. set out what prop. erty is exempt from taxation; all other property should be assessed. Section 3 of the same law specifies as taxable property: 'All debts due or to become due from solvent debtors, whether on account, contract, note, mortgage or otherwise, either within or without this state.' Notes secured by mortgage, like wise unsecured notes, under the law are subject to taxation. "In equalizing between the counties rex ttte purpose of apportioning the state tax and of assigning the valua tions of public service companies which this board will assess, It Is Important mar. we taxe Into consideration the ex tent to which the different Assessors shall have succeeded In listing intangi ble personalty on their rolls. Before maKing this equalization we shall tm. dertake by investigation to prepare an estimate rn this regard." WIFE ASKS FOR $5000 Corvallis Man's Spouse Makes Counter-Charges in Divorce Suit. ALBANY.
