CLACKAMAS ASSEMBLY TO MEET
County Ticket May Be Named After
State Convention.
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.

MORMONS GETTING BUSY
OVER 100 MISSIONARIES XOW
OPERATING IN SCANDINAVIA.
400 Converts Baptized at Temple In
Christiana Sweden Less Hos
pitable to Preachers.
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. The missionaries each week
send In a report to headquarters dealing
with the' work of each day, the schedule
being divided Into 24 sections visits to
unconverted families, distribution of

MORTGAGES TO BE MED
STATE " COMMISSION DIRECTS
' ASSESSORS AS TO COURSE.
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."
