12 TIIE MORNING OltEGOXIAX, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 12. 1914. CLERKS DECIDE TD MEET EVERY YEAR Organization Made Permanent and John B. Coffey, Mult nomah, Is Re-elected. EUGENIC LAW CALLED JOKE Resolution Sajs Measure Fails in Purpose, Examination Ridiculous and Discriminatory System of Accounting Not 1ltoetL Tbe Oregon State Association of County Clerks was placed on a perma nent foundation yesterday before ad journment, when officers were elected for tbe coming: year. The organization heretofore has been of a temporary character, being: but one year old.

Committees which did not And time during the busy sessions of the con vention to formulate reports will meet again today and will make their reports later. County Clerks went on record yes terday in a resolution opposing the eugenic law requiring the medical ex amination of males before marriage licenses Issue. It was contended the law is discriminatory, as it applies to only one sex; that it does not prevent the physically unfit from being married, but merely sends them beyond the state lines, and that the examination Itself is a Joke, as the only thorough one, that of a blood test. Is not required. Figures were produced as to the ef fect of the law in this county showing that marriages here have been reduced and those of Vancouver increased by the law. The convention also urged the abo lition of the present uniform account ing system, characterizing it as bur densome, expensive and unsatisfactory. A bill allowing the different counties to retain 10 per cent of all money re ceived from the sale of fishing and hunting licenses was urged. The clerks also favored a law re pealing the present registration system and providing for what is known as "permanent registration." Details of this plan will be formulated by the registration committee today. Judge Uatens delivered a talk on the widows' pensions law, discussing the means of administering the funds and the proposed amendments to be submit ted at the coming Legislature. Addresses Prove Interesting. United States Naturalization Ex aminer Hazzard discussed the law per taining to declaration and naturaliza tion of foreign-born citizens. Sherman M. Miles, chief deputy collector of in ternal revenue, and J. JT. Wood, court reporter, also addressed the clerks.

Having as its purpose the reduction of the cost of state, county and munici pal government, the Taxpayers' League f Marion County made preliminary ar rangements for organization at a meet ing here last night. Whtle It was the unanimous opinion or the speakers that the tax rate in Marion County is reasonable. It was urged that the league be active in see tug that it is not increased unless there bo good reason for doing so. Robert E. Smith, secretary of the Oregon national Tax Association, de flared that taxes in Oregon are 20 per cent higher than in any other state. Other speakers urged that committees be appointed to devise plans for the curtailing of the expenes of state gov ernment for submission to legislative committees. It was also argued that the league could be of assistance to county and city Oftlclals in arranging budgets. A committee on permanent organiza tion, consisting of J. Frank Hughes, It- P. Boise, D. J. Fry, Rollin K. Page and Clarence Hamilton, was appointed to make a report at a meeting next Thursday night.

'PROSPERITY' DAY MONDAY tiovernor Sets 10 o'clock for State to Panse and Kesolve. i SALEM, Or.. Dec. 11. (Special.) Gov ernor West today proclaimed next Mon day "Oregon Proaperity day," and asked that the day be generally ob served throughout the state.

Strict rules and regulations will be formulated to prevent any possible repetition of the near-disastrous fire at the Irvington school Thursday, accord irijar to School Board members. While ther ls no disposition on thejWeidier street, where he now can see part of the Board members to fix tbe bis triends. blame, each feels that Drecautions snouia De t,aKen for the future. "After careful examinations made today with the assistance of the Fire Chief and expert electricians we are convinced that the conflagration was not caused by any defective wiring In uib scnooi Duiiaing proper." said M. G. Munly, chairman of the School Board. "The faulty materials were brought in without the knowledge of ino scnooi tsoara or any of the admin istrative officials. "The Board has directed City School Superintendent Alderman to issue a circular order prohibiting the nse of school buildings for similar Christmas entertainments and forbidding the use 01 cotton Daxting. "The accident was no rnwtinn n the School Board or the school manage ment," said Dr. Alan Welch Smith, one ox me oireciors. -it was an unavoid able accident but one that should be investigated, nevertneless." Although almost all who have in vesugaiea tne are say it was caused by a bursting light bulb, C. P. Osborne, superintendent of power for the Port land Railway, Light & Power Com pany, asserts a match was responsible. ine filament in a light bulb burns out as soon as the globe ls broken.

OVER SAVINGS BRANCH, With Addition Parent Institution Will Have Arcnsste Deposits Ap proximating; 1,000,000. All the savings deposits now carried by the Portland Trust & Savings Bank will be, transferred on January 1 to the Northwestern National Bank, giving the latter institution aggregate depos its 01 mure tnan 4,UUU,U00. These two banks are owned and con trolled by a common set of stockhold ers and directors. They are housed in the same offices in tha NnrthwACt,r. National Bank building. The new ar- rangment will permit of a more con venient and economical manner of iianaiing tne business. This change will be made under pro vision of the new Federal reserve bank lng system, with which the Northwxat. era National is affiliated. xne new banking law permits all national banks to carry savings ac counts and also glveB wider discretion in making loans. These added privi leges will bo extended to the business now handled by the Portland Trust & Savings Bank when the accounts are taken over by the National bank. Under the same law National h.mlt are permitted also to act as trustees for estates, for corporations or fnr in. dividuals and are given virtually the auiue mnctions in this particular as those heretofore enjoyed exclusively by trust companies and state banks. "The new law h hplnMl nnnnt.. Ize the savings bank business with of ficers of the National banks and there Is a general movement among some of the National banks to conduct a sav ings bank business," said Emery Olra stead. vice-president of the Northwest, ern National, yesterday. 'The Portland Trust & Savins Runic will continue to act as a strictly trust ins 11 iu uon, dui will transact no com mercial or savings business it uriii take care of our safe deposit business In addition to its regular trust func tions." Another advantage that Is the National banks under terms of the new r eaerai reserve act is the reduc tion of the limit on loans. Under th state laws banks are restricted. In their loaning privileges to 80 per cent of their deposits. Under the new Fed eral law this limit is extended to 95 per cent. SUGAR PLANT PROMISED MEDFORD TO GET FACTORY IF 5000 ACRES ARE DEVOTED TO BEETS. Salt Lake Capitalists Slake Proposal and Southern Pacific Agrees to Cut Rates to Aid Scheme. MEDFORD. Or.. Dec. 11. (SDecial.l Medford will have a $ 500,000 sugar beet factory in the near future if present plans are carried out. At a mass meeting todav. attended by more than 600 ranchers, a proposi tion was made by. A. Nibley and F. S. Bramwell. of Salt,Xake, Utah, guaran teeing the construction of the factory if a contract for 5000 acres in sugar beets is signed. Mr. Bramwell said that the sunshine in the Rogue River valley and the fact that an irrigation district was to be secured had con vinced him that this was the place to establish the business. A committee was appointed to con fer with the executive committee of the Farmers' and Fruitgrowers' Leasrua to determine whether or not the 5000 acres could be signed ud. A rscort will be made at another meeting within two weeks. The visitors made a thor ough investigation of the vallev and were most enthusiastic over the soil- and weather reports. Representatives of the bouthern Pacific attended the meeting and assured local ranchers that every reasonable concession would be made in regard to railroad rates con duclve to the success of the enterprise. French Soldiers Pay Tribute to Allies. British Warriors Fall, Fighting for France and Flowers Are Placed on li raves on Dny of La Tous salnt. X front published by the Figaro tells the story of how, on the day of La Toussaint, a company of French sol diers did honor to the graves of the English dead. The officer in command summoned the company. "It is not your chief," he said, "but your comrade who calls you together. Above our trenches sleep four English soldiers who have fallen fighting for France. Tou would not have their tombs forgotten on this day of the year. (Jo out and gather flowers, and together we shall bring and place them on our allies' graves." Silently the ranks broke, and the men went out into the woods and fields around, eagerly searching for the rare Autumn flowers. By good fortune they found a cottage garden which had es caped the invaders, and from it they plucked great sheaves of chrysanthe mums. Then they returned to the trenches, where the company fell Into rank again, and. with its Captain at the head, the company lined up around the four English graves. One by one the men laid their offerings of flowers at the foot of the "wooden crosses, each salutiug as he did so. Then, with a valedictory of "Vive I'Angleterre!" the company returned to take up its post in the trenches. Mr. Andrews Convalescent. F. H. V. Andrews, who underwent an operation for appendicitis at St. Vincent's Hospital two weeks ago. yes. teraay was removed to Ills Home on RESCUERS ASK GASH Qu'nault Libeled for 'Alleged Failure to Pay Salvage. " SUIT FILED DEMANDS $1500 Effort to Compromise Keported, but Xothing Comes of It and Action. Follows Mariposa Saves Ves sel on Flat Island. The alleged failure of the owners of the steamer Quinault to effect a settle ment with the Alaska Steamship Com pany for services rendered by the steamer Mariposa November 23, when the Quinault was hard and fast on Flat Island and the Mariposa hauled her into deep water, resulted in a libel be ing filed yesterday in the United States Court in which judgment In the sum of $1500 is asked. The Quinault was seized bv Demitv United States Marshal Leonard Becker. The vessel had been libeled Thursday at the instance of Portland firms al leging that money was due for sup plies furnished the ship. ine Quinault was bound from Skar- way and way ports to Portland on her last voyage under charter to the Port land Steamship Company when she brought up on Flat Island, in Georgia Straits. Captain Wie sought to back the ship off the shoal and later rigged a kedge anchor and got a strain on that, but the vessel was not. budireri The Mariposa hove in sight soon after. en route irom Seattle for Valdez, and in less than an hour after she passed a line aboard the Quinault was afloat. The complaint recites that when the Quinault was free she appeared to be in sale condition to proceed, so it was determined that she head for Port lownsend under her own power. Sub sequently she was advised to discharge ner passengers tnere and continue to Portland. On reaching here she was drydocked for repairs, was floated Wednesday and was to have -loaded lumber for San Francisco, when the xirst imei was issued. it is averred that owners of the scumauit nave orrered to settle the salvage claim for $1000 and an attempt was made to" indues owners of 3697 cases of salmon that were aboard tbe ship at the time J.O provide $500. but that was not brought about, bence the suit. The Alaska Steamship Company nieu a. Dona in tno sum of 1500. JN. IT. TitUS. Of the Portland Steam ship Company, said last night that the corporation was not concerned in the libels brought against the Quinault or involving tne steamer Thomas L. Wand, also for supplies and stores, as both vessels had been returned to their owners when the season ended and while final settlements were under way the question of extra charter monev arose and that has not been adjusted. LIGHTHOUSE TO BE REPAIRED Low Bid Accepted to F.I i minute Damage Done by Drifting Bark. J. A. Fastavend. of Marshfield. Or.. will renew the foundation of the Desde- mona lighthouse and make other r- pairs for $495, his bid being the lowest of several opened yesterday by Henry L. Beck, inspector of the 17th light house district. The highest tender was $1800. Damage to the lighthouse brought about when the French bark Pierre Antonine collided with the structure, after she lost her anchors off the Fort Stevens wharf and drift ed across the channel. Various off hand estimates were made of the dam age, which was made less expensive to repair because It was concluded to cap broken piling and not compel own ers of the vessel to pay for having the entire foundation redriven. The Pierre Antonine is here discharging aeneral cargo brought from Antwerp. It ls re- portea that the owners will sue the Port of Portland to recover damage a on the ground that the tug Oneonta did not stand by until the ship was anchored. On that score United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller decided mat tne uneony was not at fault. WEIR VESSELS AID RRITISH Orteric and Kumerlc Commandeered to Carry Troops and Mounts. Two steamers that have carried manv tons of Portland cargo when in the Andrew Weir & Company line, between here and the Orient, the Orteric and Kumeric, are sailing under orders of the British admiralty these davs. mvh a letter received yesterday from Cap tain Mcuui, oi tne urtenc, who was on the Kumeric when she ran here.

The" fact four vessels are out of service prompted the Weir in terests to cnarter the British steamer Mancunla. which loads at Kow.ti. for San Francisco and nnvuHi then to England. FREXCmtEX TO LOAD BARLEY Steamer Taken for Northern Load ing and Others Offered. Portland lost two ships yesterday, the French barks Bougainville and Ville de Mulhouse, which were listed on the strength of .recent reports that they had been taken for grrain from here, instead of -which they are to be dis patched from San Francisco with barley by Hind, Rolph & Co.

Ia Ar raigned on Second Decree Charge for Hubanda Death. ALBAXT, Or., Dec. 11. (Special.) A jury to try Mrs. Vada Grier, of Mill City, on a charge of murder in the sec ond degree for killing her husband was selected In the Circuit Court here today in four hours and a half. This breaks all records locally for speed in selection of a murder trial Jury and it is the first' time in many years in such a case that the regular panel of jurors was not exhausted. The adoption in the recent election of the constitutional amendment abol ishing; capital punishment probably played a part in establishing the rec ord. Another feature which made the record possible was that the killing took place in the extreme northeast ern section of the county and Jurors from other sections did not appear to be familiar with the case. The Jury selected consists of nine' farmers, one retired farmer, one mer-1 chant and one laborer, as follows:' Oscar E. Pomeroy, of Lacomb; J. A. j Willard, of Albany; H. C. Davis, of Halsey; Carl Middelstadt, of Crabtree: W. A. Leonard, of Brownsville; W. H.I Klum. of Lebanon: S. W. Wood, of Waterloo: W. H. Daugherty. of Sweet Home; Scott Ward, of Albany; L.

TOURIST RATE SOON DUE EXCURSION FARE MAY BE EFFEC TIVE THIS MONTH. Southern Pacific In Favor of Dally Sales to San Francisco and San Diego to Keep Traffic Even. Rates from Northwest territory to San Francisco and San Diego on ac count of next year's exposition prob ably will be put into effect before the end of the year. At the recent meeting of the North Pacific Coast Passenger Association in Seattle action on fixing rates was de ferred until the rail and steamship lines operating between Portland and San Francisco agree on the local rate. The rates from other Northwestern points then will be based on the Portland-San Francisco rate. Heretofore the Southern Pacific has maintained round trip rates between Portland and San Francisco approxi mating $27.50 for spelcal occasions. The rate to San Diego and return has been proportionately higher. On account of the presence in the field next year of the new Great North ern Pacific Steamship Company, adjust ment of these rates will be more diffi cult. Repeated conferences have been held by representatives of the Southern Pacific and the various steamship lines. A uniform rate is desired. It is probable that a graduated scale of rates will be put into effect, based on the limit of ttie return ticket. The ordinary round trip ticket, it is ex pected, will be limited to 30 days, how ever. Whether or not these reduced rate tickets will be sold daily or only on certain specified dates has not been de termined. It is understood that the Southern Pacific wants daily sales so that the flow of traffic will be evenly distributed through the season. Cliehalis Road to lie Hardsurraced. CENTRALIA, Wash.,' Dec 11. (Spe cila.) According to County Commis sioner George Miller, the stretch of road from the Southwest Washington fair grounds to the city limits of Che halls will be hardsurfaced next year, making a continuous pavement be tween the Twin Cities. It was in tended originally to hold this work over until 1916. At a meeting' of the local Commercial Club last night, it was stated that sentiment in Grand Moijnd is in favor of having the Pa cific Highway improved from that Turning a Retail Stock It is the "quick movers" that make money for the retailer. It la goods of proven quality fairly priced that build a permanent business for him. Standard articles advertised in the dally newspaper answer these specifications. They move quickly because the newspaper advertising creates a definite and sure demand. They are standard quality articles or the manufacturer would not waste his money in advertising them. This is why it pays the retailer to push newspaper advertised goods, to show them and to back them np in every way. - DIRECTORY PATENT ATTORNEYS. T. J. G&ISL.EK. Auy-ai-Uw, 60S Hory. Wm. C.
