FARMERS MAKE WAR Efforts' of O.-W. P. to Cross Property to Be Contested. MULTNOMAH FOLK BUSY High Voltage System Wires From Sycamore to Barton. Six Miles, Slay Not Be Erected If Plans Outlined rnx Out. ORKSHAXI. Or.. March II. iBpecial.) Opposing something which tliey deem an infringement on their rights, has caused a number of farmers to get to gether and raise a fund to contest the efforts of the O.-W. F. Railway Com pany to cross their property with its high-voltage system from Sycamore to Barton. The distance Is about six miles and the supporting towers would be about 300 feet apart. As the company has not secured a right of way yet and the farmers are resisting the erection of the towers, there properly will be a change In the company's plans. The present lines are carried on poles along the country roads, for which privilege the company has a franchise, but the straight line proposed would save a distance of several miles and It is a problem which plan to adopt, tnat of buying a right of way or paying for several miles more of towers and wires. Material for the remaining towers Is lying at Sycamore, ready to be dis tributed. The lowers are built in sec tions of galvanized iron, and are 12 feet sutiare at the base and 80 feet high. Those needed along the right of way are now up and In use. but the gap that would save so much In dis tance Is not filled yet. nor will It be until the matter is settled. GHALLEMGE RIGHTS GO BOTH fcTATE AND BEFENSK IX HICKS TRIAb NEAR END. Attornejs Clash Over Baden-Towcll Incident and Are Tliroalcncd Willi Fine for Contempt. Attorneys for the state yesterday in the Illcks murder trial repeated their performance of Monday by refusing to exercise a peremptory challenge and the defense was compelled to excuse peremptorily W illiam Palmer, an em ploye, of th" city street cleaning de partment. This reduces the number of peremptorles to four on each side, but the state may challenge only new men who are passed for cause, while th. de fense has the run of the whole 12 ve niremen passed for causo. Originally the defense had a doien peremptorles and the state half that number. Talmer'a place In the box was taken by H. JC Eckhart, a contracting car penter residing at 67 Kodney avenue. He was parsed for cause, by both sides. C. J.

S. ltalvor, an Insurance man. to the action of I. YV. W. men and Socialists in break ing up the Baden-Towell meeting at (he Olpsv Smith auditorium Satur day. Mr. Davis protested that the ques tion was prejudicial and designedly so and declared that labor people of Port land deplore the Incident as much as others. He demanded to know why Mr. Malarkey did not refer to the alleged clubbing of women and children In the Lawrence strike. "The galled Jade wlnres." said Mr. Malarkey. shaking Ms finger In the face of Mr. Davis. "I'll make vou w-lnce before I am through." said Special Trosecutor Dsrls. leaping to his feet. Ballff Hulford Interfered and pre vented a physical clash and Judge Ga tens then proceeded to read the attor neys a lecture from the bench. An other such Incident, he declared, would lead to heavy fines for contempt of court. He refused to listen to offered explanations, saying that Mr. Davis and Mr. Malarkev were equally at fault.

Hogan against the Hammond Lumber Company, an action to' recover 110.000 damages for alleged personal injuries, has been set for trial before a Jury in the Circuit Court on next Monday. The complaint asserts that the plain tiff was employed as timekeeper at the defendant's logging camp in Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties. Washington, but as there was not a sufficient crew to operate the company's logging trains, the plalntllT was directed by R. W. Rob bins, foreman at the camp, to assist In Tunning the train. Continuing, the complaint avers that on September 25. 1910. as the plaintiff was attempting to couple two cars, his left hand and wrist were caught be tween the bumpers and so badly crushed that It whs necessary to ampu tate the hand and the wrist. Negli gence on the part of the defendant com pany In not having the cars properly loaded is alleged as the cause of tlie accident. The defendant lu its reply asserts that the plaintiff was employed by it as a timekeeper, not to operate the logging train, that he was not asked lo do that work and it was not at the direction of the company or any of its agents that he was engaged In coup ling cars when the accident occurred.

In an offhand opinion today Mr. Van Winkle said that under the Presi dential preference primary law it will bo possible for the names of Presi dential electors to be written in on the nominating ballots; and as a result there will probably be a large number of names written in unless there is a requisite, number of electors who quali fy by filing their petitions In time to have" their names regularly printed on the ballot. Under the Presidential preference law electors are to be voted for the same as delecates to National conven tions, each voter to vote for one elector.

Renewing Complexions by Absorption If your complexion is marred with blotches, sallowness. moth patch, pim ples, blackheads or freckles, it's useless to putter with powders and paints, Jel lies, creams and things. Unless you have some ability as an artist you'll mar your appearance still more. The new and rational way is to take off the complexion itself, with all its offensive marks. Just get an ounce of pure mercolizeil wax at the druggist's and use at night same as cold cream. Remove next morning with water and soap. The mercolized wax absorbs the half-dead scarf skin in flaky particles, so gradually no one guesses you're treating your face unless it be by the result, which is truly wonderful. There's nothing like It for restoring a natural, healthy . and beautiful complexion. Aunt Sally.
