Theory Demonstrated by Difference
in size of Feet of Frogs of
South and North.
BERKELET, Cal.. Feb. 12. (Special.)
That there actually Is a relation be
tween webfootedness and life In Ore
gon has been scientifically demonstrat
ed by the University of California, Here
is the way It was proved:
Three hundred and seventy toads of
one species from the University of Cal
ifornia museum of vertebrate zoology
were examined by Charles Lewis Camp.
Of the hundreds of species which
came from the region Deiween m
Juana on the south and Orvllle and the
Cualala. River in Sonoma. County on the
north, all were found to have com
paratively email hind feet, the spread
from the end of the first toe to the
tip of the fifth toe being usually less
than 36 per cent of th total body
length.
But toads of this same species from
Oregon. Washington and Vancouver
Island, and also those from the region
between Sulsun and Eureka and the
northern boundary of California were
found to have a remarkably greater
development of webfootedness, the
hind feet being larger, and when ex
panded etretchlng out for a distance
of more than one-third as great as the
total body length.
So marked is the difference that for
more than half a century these toads
of a relatively greater webfootedness
had been regarded by scientists ad a
perfectly distinct species.
Now, however, Mr. Camp has demon
strated that all of these toads are of
single species, with the webfooted
amphibians domineering the north.

MONROE, Wis., Feb. 14. Women of

price of tubers declined by the end of
this week. It is proposed to abstain
from potatoes until the price recedes.
The women declare that in blockaded

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. The steady
accumulation of violations of American
rights by Germany made It appear pos
sible today that President Wilson
would go before Congress to ask au
thority for further protecting lives and
property without waiting for a serious
disaster which might shock the coun
try.
. There were no indications, however,
that he believed the time for such a
step had come, and It again was said
authoritatively that he would move de
liberately and with full appreciation of
all the consequences Involved.
Tenxlon Only Slightly Increased.
Official reports of the sinking of the
American schooner Lyman M. Law In
the Mediterranean by an Austrian sub
marine added only slightly to the
tension, for while the act is believed to
have been illegal, no lives were lost
and the vessel apparently was warned.
The Incident was not looked upon as
one Itself sufficient to hurry the de
velopment of the situation.
Preliminary reports began coming to

cording to information received in Co

Agency.

tery A. reached Portland from the
South yesterday morning.
At the Union Depot wives, mothers
and sweethearts opened wide their
arms and hugged the returned troops
to their bosoms. Many a fervent kiss'
resounded beneath the gloomy old train
sheds, and the usually dull place was
enlivened as seldom before. Men rela
tives and friends gripped the hands of
the returned soldiers hard, and made
their greetings warm.
Soldiers Get Dainties.
Sandwiches, coffee, doughnuts, ap
pies and other dainties were served to
the soldiers In the train yards, and
packages of good things were given
the soldiers, so that when the troop
trains pulled out for Vancouver Bar
racks the men were well supplied.
Two special troop trains, bringing
the men, their horses and equipment,
and 160 Washington troops, reached
the Union Depot Just before 8 o'clock
yesterday morning. The scheduled
atop of one hour was lengthened to
two, to give the men a chance to visit
with the home folks. It was 10 o'clock
before the buglers sounded "assembly
and the train pulled out for Vancouver.
Parade This Afternoon.
This afternoon the Oregon and Wash
ington troops will return to the city
and will parade through, the principal
streets at 2:15. Tonight they will be
guests of honor at a big banquet spread
for them at the Multnomah Hotel. This
will be followed by a public reception
and dance.
When tne two mixed trains bringing
home the bronzed guardsmen pulled in
to the Depot yards yesterday morning,
It was a welcome sight to hundreds of
waiting relatives and friends. Many
an eye was moist as loved ones were
greeted. There were many expressions
of thankfulness that the soldiers
reached home safe and sound, with
everyone of them probably better off
physically than when they left, and
all agree that the training has been
a decided benefit.
Big milk cans full of steaming cof
fee, great quantities of sandwiches
and doughnuts and boxes of prime Ore
gon apples were taken to meet the
troop trains by the Joint committee
of the troop and battery auxiliaries.
and complete Justice was done to the
spread by the soldiers. But every fam
ily that boasted a member of either of
those two organizations was not con
tent to allow their boy to take a chance
on the rations running short, so they
brought additional dainties, and there
was more than sufficient for all.
Reception Is Happy One.

profits.
"Any association which gives evi
dence of having been organized for

SALEM, Or.. Feb. 14. (Special.)
Good roads legislation went through
with a rush In the Senate today when
House bills 21. by Bean and Barrett.
and 509, by the House highway com
mittee, passed the upper body. House
bill 509 provides for doubling the auto
mobile tax after August 1. this year,
and converting the funds so raised into
a state fund to be used in matching the
Federal aid In the Shackleford act
House bill 21 provides for an emergency
bond Issue of $1,800,000, the funds to
be raised to match the Federal road
fund only in event money Is available
from no other sources.
It is noticeable that the two bills
dovetail in well wttn the programme
outlined for the larger bond issue of
17.900.000. which Is proposed in the
bills of Senator Olson, which also will
be introduced In the House.
Bond lute Precedent Set.
No conflict Is found in the proposals
and in addition, by the passage of the
Bean-Barrett measure, the Legislature,
for the first time in Its history, has
committed Itself to a programme ot
bonding the state. By the passage of
that act It seems apparent from the
talk heard that few legislators will
object to the larger bond issue on the
broad ground that they are unconsti
tutionally opposed to bond Issues, when
the body already Is committed to such
programme.
The necessity for the use of a por
tion of such bond issue also seems to
arise on the face of the figures pre
sented under the terms of the Shackle-
ford act. The state, on July 1. 1918,
will need to raise $491,650 If it meets
the Federal aid provisions, and with
$220,000 raised from the mlllage tax
will be $271,000 shy of the amount
This arises largely from the fact that
the provisions of House bill No. 609
relative to the automobile tax do not
become effective until August 1, and
as a result the $150,000 net to be raised
on vehicle taxes for this year before
August 1 will go back. the counties
under the present law.
Opponent Are Appeased.
House bill 509 passed by a vote of
23 to 5. Senators Olson. Hawley and
Lewis championed the measure, and but
little opposition developed.

Yesterday in the Legislature.
THE Senate sustained Its reputation
for putting freak bills to sleep
without wasting time, paused Just long
enough yesterday to laugh and then
snuffed out the anti-snuff bill that had
come over from the House. It was one
of eight bills killed and 32 passed In
the course of a busy day.
Among the Important bills passed In
the Senate were the House measure
doubling automobile licenses so as to
provide a fund to match the Shackleford
Federal road fund, and the Bean-Barrett
bill authorizing Issuance of bonds
up to $1,800,000 necessary to match any
portion of the Federal fund not other
wise provided for.
Old Ferryboat Toots Last Jlournful
Salute as Gala Day Crowds
Begin to Surge Across Big
$1,700,000 Structure.'
With brilliant formality, the Inter
state bridge yesterday swung into Its
niche in the great scheme of commer
cial and Industrial development of the
Northwest,
Oregon extended a big, brotherly
hand to Washington, and Portland wel
comed with open arms her old neigh
bor, Vancouver. They all fell into each
other's ardent embrace, happy over the
final realization of an improvement
that had been a dream for a half cen
tury or more.
Thousands Enjoy Gala Day.
Oregon was out thousands strong
and Washington in equal thousands.
Together they made a gala day of the
opening. Pride and Joy abounded on
every side except on board the old
ferry-boat which has plied a trouble
some course over the river, struggling
for years to keep pace with the on
ward march of development and
growth. It tooted a mournful salute to
the cheering thousands crowded on the
bridge as two little girls pulled apart
a ribbon bow that opened the bridge
to traffic
Ceremonies on Lift Span.
The formal opening was on the lift
span near the Vancouver side. Two .
girls, the daughters of officials of
Multnomah and Clarke counties, pulled
the ribbon apart and dropped a rope
that separated the surging crowds from
Portland and Oregon on the one side
and Vancouver and Washington on the
other. At the same time Mayor Albee,
of Portland, shook hands with Mayor
Evans, of Vancouver, Governor Withy
combe, of Oregon, shook hands with
ex-Oovernor Moore, of Washington,
and to the strains of "The Star-spangled
Banner" by the Portland Police
Band, flags were hoisted to the tops
of the lift span.
With the making of the official link
between the two states the bridge was
opened to traffic. The Vancouver
crowds, including about 200 automo
biles and other vehicles, moved over
the bridge into Oregon, and the Oregon
contingent, with upwards of 300 auto
mobiles, moved into Vancouver.
Programme Follows Parade.
Following a parade through the
streets of Vancouver a dedicatory pro
gramme was carried out in Vancouver
Park. City, county and state officials
of both states and officials and others
who have had a part in the bridge
building in one way and another were
the speakers. Music was furnished by
the Portland Police Band and by Mrs.
The House bill Increasing salaries of
Multnomah County Commissioners from
$1800 to $3000 went through the Senate
by a close shave, having Just the neces
sary 16 votes.
Senator Fan-ell's bill limiting the
Portland School Board to a tax levy of
6 mills passed the Senate without op
position.
Still another Important measure
passed by the Senate was the Gordon
House bill amending the law to safe
guard Initiative petitions against fraud.
The House today passed some of the
most Important measures proposed at
this session. Principal among them
were Representative Bean's bill au
thorizing the County Assessors to re
store the Oregon & California grant
lands to the tax rolls regardless of
the status of the pending legislation
the military code, the trust company
code, the certlfictae of convenience bill
and the fire marshal bill.
The House also passed Senator
Orton's bill amending ti-3 teachers ten
ure of office as it applies to Portland.
Senator Gill's bill removing the dead
line on commercial fishing in the Wil
lamette River from the suspension
bridge in Oregon City to Stony Rock
near Oswego also went through the
House after a little debate.
The House engaged in another sen
sational fight over fishing rights in the
Rogue River. The fisheries committee
presented a divided report on Senator
Smith's bill extending the season for
commercial operations at Grants Pass.
Representative Thomas and Speaker
Stanfield clashed. The Representative
favored the bill unamended as adopted.
Representative Gordon's bill creating
a Public Revenue Commission for
Multnomah County also was passed. It
gives the Commission power to fix the
tax rate and pass on appropriations.
Fred L Olson, of Portland.
The bridge opening ceremony was
conducted promptly at the scheduled
hour of 12:30. At 11:15 mora than 100
automobiles with Portland and Ore
gon people assembled in Sixth street
in front of the Portland Hotel. The
cars were all lavishly decorated with
American flags and the Police Band
rendered several lively selections.
Headed by the band a parade moved
north on Sixth street.
A special car was on band to take
the band. The procession of automo
biles headed by city, county and state
officials moved over Broadway bridge
to Broadway and Union avenue, where
more than 100 other decorated automo
biles Joined in. They went direct to
the south end of the bridge, where they
were met Dy several ounarca versvui
who -had gone to the scene on street
cars and by two companies of soldiers
from Vancouver Barracks.
Ceremony la Began.
Waiting on the Vancouver end of the
bridge was the North Bank Band, two
companies from Vancouver BarracKs.
and a crowd that lined all neighboring
docks and streets. Headed by two street
cars loaded with Fortlt nd Railway.
Light & Power Company officials, mem
bers of the Realty Board and other
organizations, the Oregon contingent
paraded to a march played by the
Police Band to the scene of the cere
mony. The Vancouver people moved
from their side of the span.
The old ferry chugged along toward
the Washington shore a little ahead of
the Oregon contingent. A temporary
platform had been erected in the center
of the lift span, on the Oregon-Washington
line, and on and around this
the ceremony took place. The bridge
was elaborately decorated with flags.
