The Governor assumed the attitude at
the meeting that the general staff
snould be familiar with the conditions
and while he said his preference would
lie. to see the regiment kept Intact and
not disbanded. If the mrmbers of the
etaff discovered the condition to be
iioneless he would abide by their de
rision In this regard and sign what or
ders they might deem proper and best
for the future of the companies and In
keeping with the Federal regulations.
In event the regiment Is disbanded It

Colonel E. Hofer, of this city, who
said that he intends to take the mat

In seeing Roosevelt a candidate and
intimated that if no one else would
take the trouble ha would do so him
self. Hofer denies that Ms attitude In re

msnner with his position in connec

Oregon.
"1 have found out that there are"
many people in Oregon who are ap
parently In favor of Roosevelt as the
coming nominee and my position In
this matter Is merely to allow snch
people to cast a vote for Roosevelt if
they desire to do so.
"The Llncoln-Taft League Is not es
sentially an organization for any one
man and what plans I may have to aid
In seeing Roosevelt's name on the
ballot will. In no manner, conflict with
the work of that league.
"A great many people are satisfied
that Mr. Taft cannot win out. At the
same time they are not partisans of
Ijt Follette and would like to vote for
Roosevelt. They are not opposed to
the third-term Idea and as a result I
am safe In asserting that the people
of Oregon will be among those who
will have the opportunity If they de

IS AGITATING
BOISE
Fight Waged Preceding Elec

on February 23.
CONTEST LONG EXTENDED
AdmlnJstratlonlsts Are Adrocatins
Special Charter Government ln
drr Which City Is at Pres
ent Operating.
BOISE. Idaho, Dec. 29. (Special.)
What may develop Into one of the most
Interesting if not the most bitter mu
nicipal fight In the history of this city
was started here when Mayor Frltch
man, under command of the Supreme
Court to act Immediately. Issued a proc
lamation setting the date of the com
mission form of government election
for Friday, February 2J.
The proclamation was a note of
warning that for the next SO days, the
time allotted by the Black law passed
by the last session of the Legislature
permitting cities to adopt commission
government, a municipal fight will be
waged.
The admlnletratlonlsts or anti-com-mlsslonlsts
are for the present Coun
cilmanlc special charter government
under which Boise Is operating. The
commlsslonists are for the new law,
which is a combination of the Des
Moines, Galveston and Oregon plan.
Mayor Balka at Ckaage.
The fight for a commission form of
government for this city opened last
Summer when petitions were placed In
circulation for signatures of electors to
present to Mayor Frltchman. asking
him to call a special election to adopt
the commission plan under the Black
law. Far more than the required num
ber of signatures were gleaned within
a short time and the petitions were
filed. Mayor Frltchman was required
by the law to Issue the proclamation
for the election w'thln ten days. He
waited for almost the entire time of
grace and then refused to issue an
election proclamation. Harry S. Kess
ler, one of the leaders In the commis
sion movement, applied to the Supreme
Court for a writ of mandamus directed
against the Mayor to require him to
issue his proclamation and set the elec
tion date or show cause why he should
not. The Mayor demurred to the writ
and argument on the case in the Su
preme Court on December 4, when It
was taken up and submitted.
The antl-commissionlsts alleged at
that time the law was unconstitu
tional, that Its title was erroneous:
that the term "general" as used In the
law for the election signified that such
election should be held In the Fall at
the next biennial election, and that the
measure could not be applied to Boise,
which Is operating under a special
charter.
Decision Not l aanlmoos.
The Supreme Court handed down Its
decision December 2S. ordering the writ
directed against the Mayor to Issue and
commanding him forthwith to call a
special election. The opinion held the
Black law constitutional, and upheld
every contention of the commlsslonists.
It was not unanimous, however, for
while Chief Justice Stewkrt, who wrote
the opinion, and Justice Allshle con
curred as a majority of the court as to
the constitutionality of the law. Jus
tice Sullivan dissented, aliening the
law to be unconstitutional and void.
Mayor Frltchman issued a statement
in which he asserted that while he fa
vored the principle of the commission
plan he proposed to fight Its adoption
In Boise and to stand by this city's
special charter. In this attitude he has
a following, and an organization Is be
ing perfected to fight the new law.
The commlsslonists have organized un
der the head of the Progressive League
of Boise and will conduct a vigorous
campaign. Generally speaking, the
commlsslonists appear to have an ex
tensive following.

SALEM. Or, Dec. 29. (Special.)
That the more to Initiate a bill for

College has received a decided Impetus
as the result of the recent opinion of
Judge Galloway In the University of

also satisfied that such a measure will
go on the ballot."
"Will It carry?" he was asked.

some." he replied.

JUDGE'S IRE IS AROUSED
Conrt Contempt Charge 31a y Bo
Placed Against Rich Farmer.
ROSEBURG, Or, Dec. 29. (Special.)
Aroused to an unusual degree over
the receipt of a letter in which the
i . a r- V ,! wants
known through the press. Judge J. W.
Hamilton Is tonight considering the
arrest of Patrick Murphy, a wealthy
Coles Valley farmer, on a charge of
contempt of court. The letter written
by Mr. Murphy was received by Judge
Hamilton today and refers to court
proceedings In which the farmer is a
litigant. The action was brought by
Murphy against an Oakland firm, and
at the last term of the Circuit Court
was referred to a referee for adjust
ment. Murphy is of the opinion that
Judge Hamilton had no legal right to
resort to such a procedure, but on the
contrary should have set the case for
Immediate trial before a jury.
Among other things the letter says:
"I never' have laid a straw In your
way that I know of and have done
everything for you that I could. I
thought some time ago you had some
thing against me, but now you have
deprived me of a Jury trial. I am con
vinced. Judge. You are a good man,
but I would rather have 12 good men
than one good man. If you don't give
me a Jury trial, 1 will make my wants
known through the public press. I
am registering this so no one will
know of It except you, myself and son.
Henry."
Judge Hamilton says that he re
ferred the case to a referee with a
view of expediting matters and saving
the taxpayers unnecessary cost. He
says he intended to try the case as
soon as the referee filed his report.

has not reigned as supreme In this
portion of the state In 1911 as he did
In 1910. This year there have been loO
wedding permits Issued to as many
lovelorn couples, against 155 last year.
It would seem, also, that the popular

facts, their number being only 19.
August and November were Cupid's
busy months, each furnishing 22 brides.
The month of May was the lowest,
with only four to Its credit. Only a
few notes of discord marred the music
of the marriage bells, as there were
not over one-seventh as many divorces
in tho county as there were marriages.
There were 22 divorces during the
year.

SALEM. Or, Dec 29. (Special.)
Mayor Joseh Mlcell and Recorder Carl
Wlmberly, of Roseburg, are here to
make protest before the State Board of

the alleged unjust and discriminatory
method of taxing the properties of the

freight house and dispatcher's office,
several miles of track and other equip
ment, all valued at over $100,000, while

burg. are untaxed by the city.
The petition sets out "that the method
of apportionment of the valuation of
the property owned by the Oregon ft
California Railroad Company within
the State of Oregon, la. as to said City
of Roseburg. unjust, inequitable, dis
criminatory and not uniform as re
quired by the constitution and laws of
the State of Oregon, in that the method
of apportionment of the said property
belonging to the said Oregon ft Cali
fornia Railroad Company within the
State of Oregon adopted by your honor
able body does not give to said City of
Roseburg, for the purpose of taxation,
all of the valuation of said property
within the said City of Roseburg to
which said city Is entitled, but arbi
trarily distributes the said valuation
of all of the property of the said Ore
gon ft California Railroad Company
within the State of Oregon, equally
upon each mile of main track of the
trunk and branch lines of said Oregon
& California Railroad Company, there
by causing said City of Roseburg a loss
of approximately S1000 per year In city
taxes, and thereby unjustly Increasing
the rate of taxation, and discriminating
against the individual property-owners
within said City of Roseburg.
"Wherefore, your petitioners pray a
reapportionment of the valuation of
said property belonging to the Oregon
& California Railroad Company situ
ated within the City of Roseburg, in
order that the City of Roseburg may
receive taxes from said Oregon ft Cali
fornia Railroad Company upon all of
its property within the corporate limits
of the said City of Roseburg, Douglas

FROST DAMAGE IS SMALL
Not More Than 5 00 Acres Touched
in Hood River Valley.
HOOD RIVER, Or, Dec 29. (Special.)
"Although from my recent observa
tions and Investigations I think there
are not more than E00 acres of tillable
land in the Hood River Valley that
will be at all affected by frost, the
Fellowship Association has been ac
tively at work to determine definite
data as to such Injuries," said Profes
sor W. H. Lawrence, the expert of the
organization of orchardlsts.
A hundred growers in different parts
of the Valley will te supplied with test
ed thermometers and daily readings of
the temperatures will be made in every
part of the Valley. The damaging
frosts here occur In May and April.
Examination of the fruit shows that
no harm is done after this time.
It Is thought by some that the Bo
called "Winter kill" is caused by frost
and poor drainage. This subject will
be the chief topic of tomorrow even
ing. The organization held a demon
stration yesterday to determine the ef
fectiveness of blasting powder in
opening hard subsoil and thus produc
