he said.
Chairman Burke: "Don't you - know
that there Is a Federal statute against a
combination to prevent competitive bid

then, but I believe I have learned of It
since. We wanted to get the land as

In some of his business transactions

the latter part of the month.
Carmen Bylva will be In Washington.
I. C, August 8-12 for the International
Esperanto Convention. Oregon and the
Northwest generally are represented by
a large delegation from the Esperanto
Association of the Northwest, headed by
President J. C. Cooper. The local asso
ciation endeavored to Induce Her Majesty
to vlstt the Pacific Coast with such suc
cess that before the convention they re
ceived practical assurance of her coming.
William McMurray, general passenger
agent. Is trying to devise some means by
which the queen can go on a tour, of
the Coast In his private car after her
visit to Oregon. Some arrangement would
have to be made with the Interstate
Commerce Commission to accomplish
this.
Queen Carmen Slyva Is much Interested
in Esperanto and long ago promised to
attend the International, convention.
Should the efforts of the local men be
crowned with success. It Is probable the
queen will go South on the Southern Pa
cific to San Francisco and return to the
Atlantic Coast via the Southern route.
The convention at Washington is to be
flooded with the walnut book, recently
issued by the Harrlman roads. The Es
perantlsts advocate to some extent a nut
diet, and this idea will be encouraged by
the accounts of how profitably walnuts
may be grown In Oregon. In addition
slides of walnut-growing have been pre
pared and sent to furnish material for
the free lecture bureaus operated In the
East by the Harriman railroads.

PROHIBITION FGR

Mayor of Tillamook Says Plan
Has Proved Failure in '
That Locality. . .
CITY CONTROL IS DESIRED
From AH Parts of State Leading Men
Express Disfavor of Law Pro
hibiting Towns From Set
tling Question at Home.
That sentiment throughout Oregon is
radically in favor of the movement to
give each locality and incorporated city
a voice In saying how Its affairs, as re
gards the sale of liquor shall be con
ducted. Is shown by letters from busi
ness men In all lines of trade, profes
sional men, mechanics and farmers in
all parts of the state, which have been
received at the headquarters of the
Greater Oregon Home Rule Association.
These letters have been pouring In in
ever-Increasing quantities, and they are
especially noticeable as coming from dry
counties.
A letter from Thomas Coates, Mayor of
Tillamook City, to H. C. McAllister, man
ager of the Greater Oregon Home Rule
Association, is a good sample of the let
ters which -have been received recently.
Mr. Coates' letter follows:
"I beg to acknowledge receipt of your
esteemed favor of the 29th Inst., and
take great pleasure. In signing the appli
cation for membership in your associa
tion. "For nearly six years Tillamook Coun
hod been a 'dry county, so far as the
law Is concerned, but I believe there Is
Just as much liquor used as ever. A large
quantity Is sold In violation of the law.
The local officers have honestly done
their best to enforce the law, but the
difficulty of getting the necessary evi
dence la so great that it is almost impos
sible to secure enough to convict, and In
almost every Instance where there . has
been a conviction, the character of the
witnesses and their methods of securing
evidence haa been so repulsive that the
juries have condemned the wltnesrs
more than the law breakers. Were It not
so deplorable, the situation in Tillamook
County, so far aa the law is concerned.
could be termed a farce. THlamooK
City was always against prohibition, but
the rural districts carried the day for
it. As a sequence, our . finances have
Buffered severely without checking in the
least the use or abuse of liquor, besides
making it much more difficult to control
the places where it is sold. I have heard
so many of our cltlsens express them
selves that I am sure Tillamook County
will go 'wet st the next election, but
In any event, I am heartily in accord
with the plan to give Incorporated cities
the right to govern their own affairs,
and I shall be pleased to do anything I
can to help in that direction." . :
Campaign Is Open.
The Greater Oregon Home Rule As
sociation is not conducting a gumshoe
campaign. Everything is being done
open and above board. No spellbiriders
are employed to deliver addresses for
a stipulated amount and expenses, no
private detectives are hired to spy on
neighbors, no ' political buncomb is
handed out. It is a clean-cut business
campaign In the interests of Oregon.
Men who have standing In communi
ties, with the common welfare at stake, 1
are furnished copies of the constitu
tion of the Greater Oregon Home Rule
Association, which set out its -purr
pose, and are asked to file their appli
cation for membership. If they see
merit in the organisation . they file
their application for membership. If
not, they are not molested, annoyed
or maligned. The proposition is pre
sented squarely to them and the asso
ciation recognizes the right of every
man to his own opinion.
The first week of actual campaigning
by Manager McAllister ended yesterday
with branches of the Greater Oregon
Home Rule Association being established
In Sherman, Crook and Gilliam counties.
He was courteously received everywhere
and merchants, mechanics and farmers
In common approved tne purpose oi m
organization and not only wisnea to do
come members. butoffered their assist
ance to rid Oregon of a law that has
proved obnoxious.
County Branches Forming.
The branch In Sherman County started
ntr with a membership of 78. witn jo.
,n-num. a prominent business man of
Moro. as vice-president of the state or-
ionization for that COUntV.'
In Crook County Manager McAllhrter
was only able to visit Prinevllle. JBend
anri Madras, but he organized a branch
with UU members with G. N. Clifton, of
Prinevllle at its head as vice-president
for that county.
In Gilliam County the organization ie
only started but there are now 97 names
on the membership list. Frank-T. Hurl-
burt, of Condon, was named a vice-president
for thai' county.
Thus three "dry" counties in the state
reflect the sentiment toward county op
tion and the campaign has only -begun.
The association decided that the best
place to ascertain the real sentiment to
ward the present law was to make a
test in those counties that nave tried it,
and the first three have expressed such
willingness to assist in the movement
that little difficulty Is expected In the
others. Working on the theory that ex
perience la the best teacher. Manager
McAllister was sent to these counties
and will visit other "dry" counties. In
order thst communities that have been
able to stave off the blanket provisions
of the statntea that preclude Incorporaed
cities from managing their own affairs,
may learn from their neighbors who have
tried It. -

today, and they are all under much

The report was brief, but was to the
effect that the fire is of immense pro

CHICAGO? Aug. 5. Compulsory em

revision of the Illinois laws covering
workmen's accidents proposed by the
Illinois employers' liability commission,
as shown in its tentative report, issued
today.
A bill will be drafted and submitted
to the Governor calling; for radical
changes.
Employers will be held liable in all
cases, unless the employe's negligence
be greater than that of the employer,
regardless of the previous "fellow serv
ant" rule, the assumption of risk or
contributory negligence of the employe.
Death penalties of 1500 to $3000 are
provided and temporary disability pen
sions of 50 per cent of the workman's
salary. Claims would be preferred
under the law, just as wage claims now
are presented, but disputes may be

In 1904 I was engaged in" the real estate brokerage business in Los

come to Los Angeles with about $125,000 in cash. . . '
At that time there was in progress what Southern Cahfornians remem
ber as the '04 "Beach Boom,"-and to "make a long story short," in my
capacity as broker I succeeded in making several very prpfitable trades for
him in beach property. - . .
Also at that time Los Angeles city property was just commencing to
attract the attention of capitalists, and foreseeing a heavy advance in values
