Mr. Coulter declined further to discuss

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have repealed the constitutional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.

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. The
Inspiring effect of the orchestra muslo
was evident at once, and even though
the dancers were not tn costume, the

MAINS' COST IS SURPRISE
President of Mount Scott League
Speaks of Woodmcre Plant.
W. H. Meyer, president of the Mount
Scott Citizens' League, expressed sur
prise yesterday at the price paid for
he Wood mere water plant. He con
tended that as far as the ma ns se-
ured are concerned hat they are
mere make-shifts, which must be re
placed in the course of a short tim.
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."

Hunts Ferry, Gateway and Madras
to Have Stations Costing $4500
Is Announced.
Contracts for the erection of five new
passenger stations on the Deschutes line
of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. yesterday
were awarded to Moore Bros., of Port
land and work on their construction will
be started at once.
Three of these structures one each
at Hunts Ferry. Gateway and Madras
will have general dimensions of 24 by 70
feet and will be two stories high at one
end. It is estimated that they will cost
$4500 each. The two others . will be
erected at Fargar and Paxton respec
tively and will cost about $2000 each
They will be 24 by 70 feet and one story
high.
The Hunts Ferry. Gateway and Madras
stations will be fitted up with facilities
for both freight and passenger service,
commodious waiting-rooms for the pub
lie, offices and several rooms to be used
as quarters by the agents.
Although these buildings will be some.
what larger than is demanded by presen
conditions on the new line, the company
has looked Into the future and intends
that they be in use for five or ten years.
They will be modern in every detail and
will be equal in many ways to the eta'
tions on the main line.
Work on these buildings will be
rushed so that they will be completed
by the time the road is ready for oner
1 ation. Tracklayers now are approaching
Madras and with the completion of the1
new bridge across Willow Creek at the
edge of that town, the steel rails will
i be laid- through that point to Culver
Junction, which will make the line com
plete, as south of Culver Junction a Joint
track, now being built by the other
Deschutes Valley road, will be used.
In the last 30 days Gateway has sprung
from a sagebrush flat to a town of more
than 200 people. At least 60 dwellings
have been rected. nearly all of them
housing families. Some are of crude
construction, but others are of a per
manent nature.

COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety of Alls.
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.

Wellvllle.' in pkgs. "There's a Reason.'
