Mr. Coulter declined further to discuss the rupture within the ranks of the single taxers. Crisis Long Kxpevtod. Associated with hlra In the repudiation cf l"Ren. self-appointed leader of the single tax ellxarchy la Oregon, are un derstood to be C. E. 8. Wood. li. U. Wunos and others. Friction amors: the single tax a (Ivo rs te. which culminated in Saturday mxr-.ls turbulent Catherine, dates about three years bark. It waa about that time that the Single Tax League was revived In this state and Mr. CKcn placed at Its bead. Later when Joseph ls. the millionaire soap manufacturer, came Into the limelight as the single tax leader and provider of funds. U'K.n became f leld-lleutenant and official dls burser of money for the Kels Commis sion Fund In the single tax campaign In this state. The first serious trouble between the two factions in the single tax movement developed last year over the submission to the people of a single tax amend ment. Coulter and his friends Insisted that a constitutional amendment be sub mitted to the people for the taxation of privileges only, including franchises, waterpower rights, values in timber lands and mineral lands. U'Ren and his followers refused to entertain such a measure and substituted for It the amendment, with its deceptive caption, which was adopted by the people la.t November. This amendment gave to each county In the state the rijtht to regulate the matter of taxation and to make such exemptions as the voters might determine. Objection Dae to Method. It was the trickery resorted to In sub- muting and securing the adoption of this amendment that caused the Coulter forces to demur. They objected not so much to the deception as to the fact that the campaign for single tax In tills state was being directed through an ex clusive and limited number of men. with the financial assistance of Kris, rather than through a strictly democratic or ganization In which the vot-rs In all sections of the state might have a voice and b represented. Before the county option amendment ran be put into effect, further Initia tive legislation must be enacted. It w. over the consideration of what this legislation, should comprise that the row resulted. The U"Kcn force. It Is charged, submitted a proposed meagre which, uudcr the guise of ex empting from taxation property of every taxpayer to the extent of $3000. In reality went further, and. in erent of Ita adoption by the people, would have repealed the constitutional amendment submitted by the last Leg 1'lature and repealing the original single tax amendment, provided the amendment submitted by (he legisla ture should be adopted In the same election. It was against this that the Coulter people protested and because uf it the revolt followed. L'llen Forces Prevail. Saturday night's meeting was called for the purpose of determining the fu ture course of the single taxers. The Coaltrr forrea objected to the con tinued prominence erf l"Ften: demanded that the people of the state should be more generally taken into the con fidence of the single tax advocates and insisted that further deception be aban doned In seeking to Introduce single tax In this state. To this the U'Krn people objected. The result was that the ITRen forces, being In control of the meeting, carried the day and re main in charge of the single tax move ment. Another meeting of the U'Ren - faction will be held In about a month J . aUe. - -', ; " Hp i f when It is expected that the Oregon flty man will again be chosen to head the single tax movement. It Is reported that U'Ken and his co workers have virtually completed prep aration of Initiative measures provid ing for carrying out the single tax Idea. In several of the counties of the stale. These measures. It Is under stood, are to be submitted In those counties of the state where the least objection prevails against this "plan of taxation with the Idea of proposing the same legislation In the other counties following Its adoption in the counties that are regarded as being; strongest for the single tax. Coulter and his associates will not only refuse to stand for the proposed L'llrn programme but Intend to pro pose to the people measures calling for the taxation of privileges alone, pref erably to any movement for placing the burden of taxation on land values as is contemplated under ine L lien plan.

Col, In 190A I FIRST REHEARSAL HELD All Coetuines for Dancers Received and Are Paid for by Wearers, Assuring; I-ess "Expense IVom General Fund. What was declared by Manager. W. L. Pangle. of the Ilelllg Theater, to have been the longest line ever formed in front of any theater in Portland, watt ing for the opening of a sale of seats, was that which stretched outward from the Helllg box-office, curled around in a letter 8 in the entrance lobby, led outward down the steps to the Seventh street sidewalk and turned the corner at Yamhill street yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. Estimates of the number of men. women and messenger hoys stand ing in line run from 300 to S00. All were waiting for the opening of the seat sale of the big charity Klrmess. which opens Thursday evening with three following performances on Friday evening. Saturday afternoon, and Satur day evening. Long before 10 o'clock, the hour an nounced for the opening, the line began to form, and. despite the extra service In the Heiiig box-office, the file of ticket purchasers did not -shrink percep tibly until the noon hour, snd the sale kept up all through the afternoon and evening. The throng of Klrmess pat rons purchased tickets for all four per formances, the sales for the three dif ferent evenings and the Saturday mat inee being pretty evenly divided. A trough estimate of the total sale of seats for the day. according to Manager Pan gle, possibly passes the $3000 mark. Another rush Is anticipated with the opening of the hox-ofhe at 10 o'clock this morning, hut the Klrmess manage ment is anxious to have It understood that the seating capacity of the Helllg Theater, multiplied by four to cover the four Klrmesa performances, will accom modate a very substantial number, so "there are plenty of seats left." The unsold gallery boxes are held at 175 each, and these are expected to be engaged before the opening show on Thursday evening. Yesterday afternoon the big throng of Klrmess dancers, numbering more I than 200. went through the first full orchestra rehersal at the Helllg.

However, It may be for the best, said Mr. Meyer, "as w will get Bull Run water in a short time, I am told. It would be' impossible to replace the present nlDelines this year, and to wait until they could be replaced would cause too great a delay. The league was opposed to paying an exorbitant price, but we are satisfied as we will get Bull Run water. The Water Board has distributed 12 and 8-Inch -.nains out here. I understand that the 12-Inch main, which was laid from the Mount Tabor reservoir to Powell road will be extended south through the district and the eight-inch main will be extended through the district to connect with all the branches of the old plant. 1 understand that these plpel.nes are to be completed by July 1."

A happy old lady in Wisconsin says "During the time I was a coffee drinker I was subject to sick headaches, sometimes lasting 2 or 3 days, totally unfitting me for anything. "To this affliction was added, some years ago, a trouble with my heart that waa very painful, accompanied by a smothering sensation and faintness. "Dyspepsia, also, came to make life harder to bear. I took all sorts of patent medicines, but none of them helped me for any length of time. "The doctors frequently told me that coffee was not good for me; but with out coffee I felt as if I had no break fast. 1 finally decided about 2 years ago to abandon the use of coffee en tirely, and as I had read a great deal about Postum I concluded to try that for a breakfast beverage. "I liked the taste of it and was par ticularly pleased to notice that it did not 'come up" as coffee used to. The bad spells with my heart grew less and lees frequent, and finally ceased alto gether, and I have not had an attack of sick headache for more than a year. My digestion is good, too, and I am thankful that I am once more a healthy woman. I know my wonderful restora tion to health came from quitting cof fee and using Postum." Name given by the Postum Co- Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason," and It is this. Coffee has a direct action on the liver with some people, and causes partial congestion of that organ preventing the natural outlet of the secretions. Then may follow biliousness, sallow skin, headaches, constipation and final ly a change of the blood corpuscles and nervous prostration. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellvllle.' in pkgs.
