PUPS RAISE DUTY QUESTION
Dogs Born la Transit oa Amerlcaa
Soli Considered Aliens.
When a fox terrier leaves Vancouver,
E. CL. for Portland and after crossing;
the Una between Canadian and Ameri
can territory Is made the proud mother
of four puppies, must duty be collected
on Ave animals?
That question is bothering Custom-
House officials from Collector of .Cus
toms Malcolm down to the deputy
whose duty lt will be to release the
canines. Chief Deputy I'lke holds that
the question Is one that comes under
the head of "foreign cltlsens, native
born." Deputy Barnes, whose position
t tha main window draws him into
many questions, believes the mother
dog: Is crullty of smuggling and should
be so held. Harry Montgomery thinks
the mother should be charged full duty
and tha pups admitted on half fares.
The regulations do not segregate fox
terriers and little fox terriers or say
what can be dona If it is pleaded that
puppies so transported crossed the bor
der under extenuating circumstances
and not of their own free will.
The case probably will be submitted
to the next board of appraisers for
settlement.
Man, Wanted in Idaho, Esrapes.
MAKSHFIEI.D. Or.. Dec. 12. (Spe
cial.) O. TV. Barton, wanted at Lewis
ton, Idaho, managed to elude the of
ficers on Coos Bay, after he had been
captured here and has evidently made
his escape. Barton's parents conduct a
restaurant In North Bend. The young
n was Indicted for btirsrlary at Lsw-
lston and the case was compromised by
his pleading guilty to petit larceny
and was sentenced to Jail. He DroKe
Jail and came to Coos Bay. The North
Bend City Marshal arrested nira. v imo
Attorney Tom Bennett, Barton's attor
nv wan nttemotlne to secure a writ
of habeas corpus to release him, the
prisoner was allowed to go into his
parents' restaurant to eat. The officer
in charge did not want to embarrass
him, so he did not watch closely and
the young man escaped through a back
entrance.
DIVIDED FUND CUMBROUS
State Treasure Wants Special Class
Abolished by Amendment.
SALEM. Or., Deo. 12. (Special)
With e350.000 of the state's money ly
ing practically idle and only drawing
2 per cent interest, while warrants are
being stamped "Not paid for want of
funds," State Treasurer Kay advocates
an amendment of the law which will
do away with this class of special
funds and will establish only one fund
tha general fund.
H believes that the plan will save
thousands of dollars to the state in
the course of time and will avoid the
numerous complications which arise
under the present conditions.
