The so-called "taxation and conser vation commission act," enacted at the last session of the legislature and applying only to those counties hav ing 100.000 or more papulation. Is valid and is not local or special legis lation, according to an opinion writ ten by Chief Justice Burnett and handed down by the Oregon supreme court at a special session here today The opinion also held that the "lo cal budget law" passed by the 1921 legislature, applying to municipalities in general, does not make it incum bent upon the city of Portland to incur an expense of approximately $20,000 in publishing the estimates and estimate sheets.

SHERIDAN HARVEST END'S Yields of Oats and Wheat Are Uo-ported Heavy SHERIDAN, Or., Aug. 29. (Spe cial.) With all threshing cave for that in isolated spring oats, the harvest this vicinity draws to Thirteenth Amendment Abolishing Slavery Cited In Denying- Pro test of Petitioners. The city council of Portland lacks power to prevent negroes from con structing a building solely on the ground that such persons are negroes, according to an opinion filed with the council yesterday by City Attorney Grant. The question arose as the result of a protest filed by O. B. Shorbert and others against the granting of a. permit to erect a gymnasium at Williams avenue and. Tillamook street. Such, property is owned, it was stated, by negroes, and the Protestants not oniy objected to the gymnasium building but to tho con struction of any building by negroes. Slavery Amendments Filed. In his opinion Attorney Grant called attention to the 13th and 14th amendments to the constitution. The 13th was adopted by congress short ly after the civil war had been con cluded and abolished slavery. The 14th amendment was adopted shortly thereafter and prevents any state and any municipality from enacting legislation which would abridge the privileges or Immunities of any citt sen, deprive any citizen of life, lib erty or property wthout due process of law or deny to any person the full protection of the law. City Attorney Grant called atten tlon to the fact that this amendment has been put to severe tests in the highest courts and has been con strued! to give full citizenship and all rig-hta thereof to negroes. "To grant the prayer of the peti tloners would be solely on the ground of color," the opinion reads in its con elusion. "It may be claimed that acquisitions of property by colored persons depreciate- property owned in the neighborhood of white persons. Restriction Is Prohibited. "But property may bo acquired by undesirable white neighbors or put to disagreeable though lawful uses with like results. The council is therefore advised that it has no au thority to enact an ordinance prohib iting colored people from construct ing a building on a piece of ground owned by them solely on the ground that they are colored people, and therefore the prayer of the petition ers must be denied." The opinion probably will reach the city council in time for action on the protest at the regular council meet ing tomorrow. While protests have been made from time to time against the intrusion of negroes into a neigh borhood settled by white persons, set tlements of difficulties of this nature always have been effected outside of the council. This Is the first time that the city council has requested a ruling on this question. MAIL ORDERS FILLED Send today for catalogue folder, Virg-in Wool sam ples, tape measure and measuring blank.

The yield has been pood. Early season expectations of many farmers who predicted a bump er crop have failed to materialize, due to late rains in tho spring and the dry summer. Quality of the grain Is good. An Incomplete survey shows that the crop averaged between 20 and 25 bushels of wheat an acre. Some farmers got 30 bushels to the acre, while a few had yields of 35 and 40 bushels an acre. Dan Kirby, a large grower of the Bellevuo district, and George Gutbrodt, who has a farm outn of Sheridan, both had yields which averaged 30 bushels. Farmers are divided on plans for disposal of the crop. Some will sell at once, while others prefer to hold their harvest for an expected better price later in tho season. Wheat at the Schmidt warehouse here, which has received about 20.000 bushels of grain this season, is bringing 95 cents a bushel, unsacked, and $1 sacked.

A GENTLE WAY TO END CORNS Thm Modern Method, Scientific, Easy, Quick and Sure The old corn enders were harsh, crude and uncertain. They came into disrepute. Then a world-famed laboratory created a new method, and millions have adopted it. The new way is Blue-jay liquid or plaster. One applies it by a touch. The pain stops instantly, and soon the whole corn loosens and comes out. To pare a corn and keep it now is folly. Stop it the moment it ap pears. Remove it in this gentle way. Watch one corn go when Blue jay is applied. You will let it deal with all corns after that. Send to the drug store now.

INFANT'S SCALP IS FREED FROM ECZEMA New Remedy Is Boon to Mothers and Blessing to Children. Tender Heads Quickly Soothed. Mothers are finding In Berlault's HAIR-Bltters, the new guaranteed scalp remedy, a veritable boon as it not only quickly cleanses the scurf from off the heads of the tiny tots but relieves the torture which many chil dren suffer from Itching and irritated scalps. In a letter to the Berlault Mfg. Co., C. J.. Mettler, sales manager of the Fithian-Barker Shoe Co., tells how his little son was relieved by this treat ment. He says: "Some time ago, through the cour tesy of your Mr. Besner, I received a bottle of HAIR-Bitters and, in order to give It a good, severe test, I tried it out on my son who has been troubled with eczema ever since his infancy. "I am pleased to advise that after four applications of your HAIR Bitters the eczema has entirely dis appeared and his scalp is free from this dreadful disease and all dand ruff." Being free from alcohol or poison of any description, It is perfectly safe to use on the smallest infant, and there is no burning or smarting sen sation even where the scalp is raw. Older children also experience the same remarkable results when HAIR' Bitters is used and there Is no period of life from infancy to old age when HAIR-Bitters will not prove beneficial where scalp eczema, dandruff, falling hair or other form of scalp ailment is present. HAIR-Bitters Is sold at leading drug-stores, price $2 and $3 the bottle. Applications can be secured at bar bers and hair dressers. If you are suffering from any form of scalp ail ment or if any member of your family is so afflicted, give It a trial. (Ad vertisement.) Dlitr Ibnted Ity Blumaaer - Frank Drtinr Co..
