Saleaa Fraaeala Secured.
The Salem. Falls City Western
now operates rrom ric iwcn

river In Polk County from this city.
Last year the road secured a franchise
ni the citr to onerate along 1'nlon

r.d at the time It was rumored uui
the more had In view an extension to

time the franchise wu granted the
road secured permission from the state
and the War Department to construct
a bridge across the Willamette River
from West Salem to Salem, to he used
s a connecting link for Its line from
West Salem Into this city.
Assistant General Manager Hlnshaw.
who was here today to tile ths resolu
tions, said that It Is planned to start
construction work on the bridge as
ooa as the weather will permit and
to run cars Into Salem at the earnest
opportunity.
w Coaatry Be Opteaed.
Throuch the new extension Salem
will be brought Into direct connection
with some of the richest sections In
the Willamette Valley. Silverton and
Ftayton are imone the larger towns of
the valley. Stayton now Is practical-
v without railroad communication,
while the railroad connection to Sil
verton Is roundabout and Is of little
Talue either to Silverton or Salem.
In addition to tals there are Immense
lumber holdings in the vicinity of Sil
verton. which will be tapped by the
road and practically a new field will
be opened to market.
It is probable that the road win use
motor cars for Its passenser traffic on
the extension both to Silverton and
Stayton. This Is the type of a pas
senger car which is now In use on the
road between nest Salem and Black
Bock.
It Is not announced when the exten
sion will be started, but It Is believed
that the work of securing tight of way
will be begun at once and that by the
time the bridge across the river Into
Salem Is completed and the city lines
are in operation here, that work wrl
start at once on construction of the ex
tension Itself.

LAWRENCE TO BE THERE
Peculiar Construction of Proposed
Measure Seems) to Have
Double Meaning.
SALE It. Or. Jan. 14. (Special.)
That the single tax propaganda will ex
tend into every one of the S4 counties
In the state was the announcement
made by W. S. ITRen today, following J
the decision or yesterday in tne. Oregon
Supreme Court.
The same bill that is represented In
the Clackamas County petitions will be
circulated throughout the respective
counties, Mr. IT Ren said that Multno
mah County would be the next target
with the single tax petitions and as
rapidly as possible tbey will be spread
throughout Oregon.
What effect the passage of a single
tax measure In any one county or In a
number of counties would have on the
system of assessment and equalisation
Is a problem that has not yet been
figured out. but State Tax Commis
sioner Galloway today said that It
would lead to numerous complications
and might possibly result In a reversion
to the old County Assessor system used
before the creation of the State Tax
Commission.
It would certainly result, he believes,
in some change In the method of assess
ing valuations of public-service cor
porations and it Is probable that the
slnKle tax plan would work a hardship
on numerous counties as far as the as
sessment of public-service corporations
is concerned.
It Is a moot question here as to just
what soma of the provisions of the
single tax bill mean that Is, the bill
which It Is proposed to circulate
throusrh the respective counties.
Whether it would result In the exemp
tion of saloons from paying a license
cannot be determine by those who
have examined the provisions that are
contained therein. In this respect, local
attorneys say. It is ambiguous and con
tradictory. "No tax shall be Imposed upon any
trade, labor, business, person, occupa
tion or profession under the pretext of
a license or 'the exercise of the police
power within said county" Is one of the
bill's provisions. In the same para
graph the bill recites: "It is not in
tended to Impair the police power of
the county, city or state."

VANCOUVER. Wash.. Jan. f4. (Spe

started an Innovation of trusting a
prisoner whom he had fined. He trust
ed to the honor of the man before the
bar for sentence to send blm a money
order for the amount of the fine. $5.
B. D. Halllday was arrested by the
police yesterday- for being drunk and
when he appeared before the Police
Judge this morning, he said that he
was a wood-cutter of Woodland, and
that he had come to Vancouver and
had fallen by the wayside, spending all
of his earnings In riotous living.
lie looked honest. Judge Shaw
thought, o he said. "Tou are a hard
working man and I don't want to hu
miliate you by putting you in Jail for
your first offense. I will s;lve you an
other trial. I am golr.r to fine you $5
and costs, and trust to your honor as a
man to send me the money from your
first pay check."
Halllday. who listened intently to
the unusual sentence of the Judge,
promised faithfully that ha would send
the required amount, and after shaking
hands with Judge Shaw, started back
to the woods to go to work and earn
money to pay his fine. If this system
works well on those who look and act
deserving. Judge Shaw says that ha
may try It more extensively.
ASHLAND FOLK JUBILANT
Permanent Highway Appropriation
Hoped for From Congress.
ASHLAND. Or, Jan. 24. (Special.)
Ashland people are especially Inter
ested In the announcement Just made
in the newa from Washington that
Representative Hawley baa Introduced
a bill providing for the appropriation
of $13,500 for the construction of a
permanent highway within the Crater
National forest leading from the sum
mit of Mount Ashland for a distance
of ten miles toward Ashland.
The project is one that haa been con
siderably discussed and It Is believed
will be strongly Indorsed by the For
est Service. At present the Ferest
Service maintains a good bridle trail
and also a telephone line over the,
route of the proposed Improvement
which traverses a territory of unusual
scenlo beauty and will be of much
practical benefit In the administration
of the service in that portion of the
Crater National forest. Mount Ash
land is S000 feet above sea level and
6000 feet above Ashland, from which
it Is distant 12 miles. If the appropria
tion carries it Is probable that effort
will be made to permanently Improve
a road to connect this city with the
highway In the forest. The bill waa

OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. Si. (Special.)
Olympla will bo the. center of Wash
ington political activities during ths
last three days of this week when the
Southwestern Washington Development
Association will meet here. From re
ports received by the Chamber of Com
merce and the numerous hotel reserva
tions that have been made. It Is safe to
say one of the largest crowds that haa
visited the state capital In many years
will attend the convention.
Numerous candidates for state of
fices are among those who have writ
ten for hotel reservations and there un
doubtedly will be a good-slsed sprink
ling of politicians In Olympla to meet
the Southwestern Washington "boost
ers." John C Lawrence, who has already
launched a big boom for Governor, will
arrive from California Just In time for
the opening day. Otto A. Case, who
aspires to obtain recognition as the
King County candidates for Governor,
also will be on the ground early. Gov
ernor Hay la here and will remain all
week.
E. W. Ross, will be here of course,
and It Is understood that he will reach
a final decision regarding his candidacy
for Congress after he has discussed
the situation witn some oi nis oia
tlme Southwest friends.
Henry B. Dewey, state superintend
ent of public education, will also be
here and wuT endeavor to feel out the
political sentiment.
The field will not be left entirely to
the Gubernatorial and Congressional
candidates. Several aspirants for the
position of Lieutenant-Governor will
Journey to the capital to extend the
glad band.
Booth aad Panlhamus Plan.
Robert Booth, of King County, one
time member of the State Senate, and
Senator Paulhamus, of Pierce County,
President of the last Senate, have an
nounced their Intentions of joining the
political procession. Booth has an
nounced his candidacy, but Paulhamus
has been too busy with his berry
plckkig to give much attention to poll
tics. Now, however, with the berries
all In he says he will take a little time
off from his Winter butter-making and
find out what is doing In the politcal
arena. It Is not certain that E. Paul
hamus will be a candidate for any
office at the next election, but if he
runs at all It will be tor .Lieutenant
Governor. Political rumor of late haa hinted of
a break between Paulhamus and Gov
ernor Hay. It is no secret that Sena
tor Paulhamus waa opposed bitterly to
the appointment of George A. Lee on
the Publto Service Commission and told
Hay it waa a mistake.
Row Is Near Criaea.
It is considered pretty certain that
any differences between the Governor
and Senator Paulhamus will come to a
head here this week. Hay and his
friends have declared openly that John
C. Lawrence recommended the appoint
ment of Lee. Lawrence on the other
hand says the appointment of Lee
forced his resignation from the Publto
Service Commission and that Governor
Hay told blm that in no circumstances
would he make the appointment.
The Olympla convention so closely
following the meeting of the State Fed
eration of Labor in Spokane will pre
vent the political pot cooling off after
the lively events of the Spokane meet
ing. Governor Hay returned from the
labor convention in good spirits on
account of the resolution of thanks that
followed his speech. After he got
back, however, word reached Olympla
that the executive committee of the
Federation had voted unanimously not
to indorse him for another term.
This was the only straight-out poli
tical question considered by the execu
tive committee. It was not In the
nature of Indorsing a candidate for
Governor that the subject was taken
up. President Charles R. Case broached
the subject by asking If the organiza
tion should go on record for Hay.
