and In pursuance to instructions by
Circuit Judge Phelps, to Investigate the
charters of Irregularities against At
torneys Homer I. Watts, of Athena,
Iouirlas W. Bailey and J. B. Perry, of

Just as the meeting- got under way It
was discovered that the rules of the as
S'clatlon provide that such cases should
be Investigated first by the executive
committee, and a report made to the or-a-anlsattoa.
The committee was. there

timony. The Investigators were or
dered to have their report ready by
not later than May 1. "
Two Not Affiliated.
Two of the accused men. Attorneys
Hailer and Watts, are not members of
ti e local bar Association, and the most
tills organization can do Is to assem

disbarment or chastisement by the Siate

cording to report, made application two
years ago for membership In the asso
ciation and was blackballed, while At
torney Watts Is said to have told Sec
retary Coutts that he did not have to
belong to the association.

Watts on this acronnt this afternoon,
when he declared the members of the

New State Official Will Name As
sistant to Take Charge of Office
Work Board Plans for
Poller of Publicity.
SALEM. Or., March 30. (Special.)
7. A. Elliott, of Salem, was elected
State Forester today over S. C. Bar
trum. of Roseburg. at the first meeting
ofy the new State Board of Forestry.
Members of the board say that Elliott
was selected because of his long prac
tical experience In the timber Industry,
and that he will devote his time largely
to the practical work of the office,
while his deputy will have charge of
the work in the office itself and the
publicity features In connection with a
campaign to ward off the destruction
of vast timbered resources by Ore.
State Forester Elliott has been em
ployed by the Spalding Logging Com
pany, of this city, and has been en
gaged In various capacities in the
timber business for 30 years. At one
time he wss at the head of the Oresron
& California Are-fighting forces, or
ganising them and keeping the com
pany s loss to the lowest notch.
Deputy Not Selected.
No selection of the deputy has been
made, the State Board instructing For.
ester Elliott to reserve this appoint
ment until he can secure a man of good
technical training who will be able to
handle the publicity work and take
charge of the office details In connec
tion with the policy which will be out
lined by the Forester and the board.
The board decided that a publicity
policy of wide acope should be inaugu
rated, that the new law and Its pur
port be placed fully before the peo
ple. They declared that the board will
not stand for any one class and that
the property of all will lbe protected
Insofar as It comes under the nurview
of the statute.
Offices for the State Forester will
be opened at the state Capitol. The
Forester will receive a salary of 33000
a year and his deputy will receive 31800
annually. The Forester In bis official
capacity acts as secretary of the board,
and the Governor as ex-offlcio chair
man.
Full Board Present.
A full representation of the member
ship was present. Including the Gov
ernor and Forester and the balance of
the appointees, as follows: L. S. Hill,
of Junction City, of the Oregon and
Washington Lumber Manufacturers'
Association: A. P. Sprague. of Portland.
of the Oregon Forest Fire Association;
A. T. Buxton, of Hlllsboro, of the Ore
gon State Grange: George II. Cecil, of
Portland, of the United States Forestry
Service, and Dan P. Smythe, of Pen
dleton. vof the Oregon Woolgrowers
Association, and George W. Peavy, of
the Forestry department of Oregon Ag
ricultural College, also an ex-offlcio
member of the board.
Another meeting of the board will
be held within the next 10 days, at
which time the Forester will probably
make further recommendations as to
the nollev to be nursued. and It Is
nrnhahl t that H m. ha will slsA muVa '
recommendation to the board as to
his deputy. While the province of ap
pointing the deputy falls with the For
ester, no doubt he will submit his se
lection to the board before it Is finally
passed upon.
Appropriation Is $(0,0 Oft.
The State Board of Forestry, under
the Buchanan bill creating It. has an
appropriation of 160.000 to spend tn
fighting forest fires.
State Forester Elliott said tonlprht
that the general policy of the board has
not been decided upon and that be has
not arrived at a definite conclusion as
to what course he will pursue. But It
has been settled, he says, that all of
the fire wardens, who are paid em
ployes of the' various lumber companies
and appointed by the Forester, shall
be under the direct supervision of tha
slsie.
Forester Elliott Is unable to say what
will be the magnitude of the state pa
trol system, and does not know as yet
how many deputy fire wardens will be
appointed. It is probable, however,
thut some sNich system as Is In vogue
In the Forestry Service of the United
States will be established and rangers
will he put In use to carry out the plan
to subdue and prevent forest fires.

State Board of Equalization Says
County Assessors Must Readjust -Schedules
or Go.
BOISE. Idaho, March 30. (Special.)
There will be no retreating by the
State Board of Equalization from the
demand that Idaho property be assessed
at Its full rash valuation. Assessors
must either "X-adJust their valuation
schedules abandoning the one-third
plan as heretofore followed and raise to
the full valuation or they will be re
moved from office. This is the decision
of the board taken at a recent meeting.
State Auditor 3. D. Taylor stood alone
when he asked to rescind the action of
the board raising the new system of
actual cash valuation for taxation. Al
though he voted for this at first he
asked the board to change its position
and let the old aystem stand. The
four other members o the board voted
him down and the campaign of raising
to the cash valuation is on tn this
state.
The supporting pillar under the four
members of the board who voted to In
augurate the new plan of assessment is
found In the Idaho statutes. Although
a dead letter for years this law calls
for the assessment of all taxable prop
erty at its full , valuation. Governor
Hawley resurrected this law when he
called tha Board of Equalization around
him and took a determined stand to en
force It. Attorney-General McBougall
declared that as Attorney-General he
would do all In his power to enforce
the law to the letter.
By virtue of his office he can order
County Attorneys to prosecute County
Assessors who refuse to obey (he law
and if the former refuse he can remove
them. Secretary of State Glfford and
State Treasurer Allen voted to raise
the assessment on the same grounds.
Stale Auditor Taylor gave for his
reasons In support of his resolution to
rescind the vote of the board to adopt
the new plan, that to do so would force
a great hardship on the people. He
declared the plan would raise 1,000,000
more than Is necessary".

The Best Safeguard' Is to Keep the Stomach
Toned Up and the Treatment Should
Be Begun When the Fast
Symptom Is Noted.
"A few years ago," says Mrs. George
Fallu, of Finlayson, Minn., "I began
to suffer from stomach trouble. It came
on me gradually and I do not know
what caused it. I gave little heed to it
at the time thinking that it was merely
a Blight attack of indigestion. It finally
developed into a severe form of stomach
trouble and I Buffered terribly for
months.
"At the beginning of my sickness I
had fainting spells and became uncon
cious. There was gas on tny stomach,
my appetite was very poor and what
little I ate did not seem to be digested.
I was sick at my stomach a great deal
and had severe dizzy attacks. I had
hot flashes when it would seem as
though I was burning up. I could not
sleep night or day during these spells
unless i took something to ease the
pain. I was very weak and was in this
condition for six months. I could not
do any work and was confined to bed
for two or three days at a time.
"A doctor at Duluth said I had gas
tric fever. He did not give me much
help so I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
upon my mother's advice. I gave the
pills a thorough . trial and unlike the
doctor's medicine, they agreed with me.
I took several boxes of the pills and
was entirely cured. I think so much
of the pills that I always keep them in
the house."
The tonic treatment with Dr. Wil
liams Pink Pills by building np the
blood so that it can nonnsh and -strengthen
the weakened digestive sys
tem has made hundreds of cures in the
most severe stomach disorders. This
record of cures should merit a trial for

Kllers Music House. This is not the
case. If vou have a valid credit check
or certificate, bring It to this sale. We
