FINANCIAL BODY NAMED
PASTORS' UTICISM MET
RABBI WISE HOLDS LIBRARY
CAXXOT MEET DEMANDS.
Robert E. Smith, Samuel Eddj,
William F. Woodward and T.
Morris Dunne Head Drive.
The drive for funds to build a golf
course on the site of the Rose City
speedway is on. A financial commit
tee, ' composed of Robert E. Smith,
Samul Eddy, William F. Woodward
and T. Morris Dunne has been ap
pointed to solicit funds to engage a
golt architect to plan the course and
to build the course after the plans
have been completed.
The committee has been at work
two days and already has obtained
several subscriptions. Another com
mittee composed of Arthur Dayton,
chairman ; A. H. Gould and Grant
Hemphill, appointed at a recent meet
ing: of BTolf enthusiasts, to look after
the preliminaries of get tins; the
course started, Is In communication
with several g-olf architects.
H. Chandler Kgan, who laid out the
municipal course at Eaatmorland, and
Vernon Ma can of Victoria, B. C, who
has planned several courses in Brit-;
inn Columbia, are two of the men with
whom the committee is in touch. I
George Otten, a Portland landscape
architect, who also has had some ex
perience in laying out golf links, has
looked over the ground and may sub
mit a plan.
Just as soon as enough money has
been obtained by the financial com
mittee to guarantee construction of
the course the chosen architect will
be employed. The committee intends
to have the course In shape early next
spring. That there will be need of
the new nine-hole links is evidenced
by the popularity of the game and
the fact that the Eastmoreland mu
nicipal course has been crowded all
year, to say nothing of thefact that
the city's right to use it expires
July 1.
Even with the Rose City course n
Its present rough state, many golfers
prefer to play over it now than to
face the crowds at Eastmoreland.
Allan Lee Longstaff has been estab
1 ishpr! an nrof puflional at the course.
where the attendance already is '
enough to keep him busy.

Different Set of Books for Each
Minister Would Be Necessary,
Declares Director. -
The impossibility of supplying re
quests for books on religion and
theology, was discussed at the regu
lar monthly meeting of the library
board last night. There is not a
general demand for these books. It
was stated, but ministers often com
plain that books which they desire
are not in the library. It developed
from the librarian1 report.
"We couldn't begli. to supply all
the books that would be asked for,'
said Rabbi Jonah B. W.'se. who is a
member of the board. 'We . would
have to get a different set for each
minister. Ministers of different de
nominations can't go into each other's
private libraries without starting to
argue. We have evei had objections
to various religious encyclopedias -in
the library, to which members of
some sects offer objections."
More new library cards wer taken
out during October than ever before
in the history of the library,- Miss
Anne Mulheron, librarian, reported.
There also has been a gain of 20,421
In the number of books in circula
tion during the last month over
October, 1920.
Books on disarmament are most In
demand at the present time, stated
Misv Mulheron, and many requests
for magazines on golf are being re
ceived'. Among the new members of the
library staff are Miss Marjorle Forbis,
who Is temporarily In the reference
department, and Miss Mae Niemie,
who is in the school department.
Plans for children's book week and
for the local music week are being
formulated by the librarian and the
.board.

LA PINE BUILDINGS BURN
Hotel, Confectionery and Pool Hall
Are Destroyed.
LA PINE. Or., Nov. 8. (Special.)
Kire discovered this evening at 6:46
o'clock destroyed! the La Pine hotel,
managed by Mr. Beaeley, and a con
fectionery store and pool hall In the
building adjoining, owned and oper
ated by Henry Cavanaugh. The hotel
was a two-story frame structure val
ued at about 110.000. The other build
ing was one-story and wood construc
tion. It was valued at about 17000.
Insurance on both properties aggre
gated $3000.
The fire originated In a flue of the
hotel and spread rapidly. For a time
it looked as It the entire business
section of thai town would be swept
away by the fire, owing to a high
wind, but the wind veered at the
right time and- the cltlsens were en
abled to confine the flames to their
original bounds.
The contents or the hotel were prac
tically destroyed. Some of the fur
nishings were saved in the early
stage of the fire, but the flames and
heat soon cut off the work of sal
vage. The contents of the confec
tionery store and pool room were de
stroyed. The fire spread with remarkable
rapidity throughout the hotel and to
the adjoining building. Most of the
hotel patrons were absent and those
who were In their rooms succeeded In
escaping with their personal effects.
Those who were not in their rooms
lost their personal property.

OPPOSITIOX TO IXCOMJE TAX
REVERSED OVER XIGHT.
County Officials Go on Record
As Favoring Proposal to In
crease Revenues.
SALEM. Or, Nov. 8. (Special.)
Opposition to an income tax which
cropped out here yesterday changed
over night, and today the county as
sessors in annual session went on
record favoring this sort of a levy as
a means of raising additional rev
enue. The assessors refused to suggest
any definite legislation with relation
to the proposed tax. but said they
would co-operate with the so-called
committee of taxation should the lat
ter body decide that a levy on In
comes is fair, to the end of defraying
governmental expense. A lengthy dis
cussion preceded the adoption of the
resolution favoring the tax.
The committee on taxation was ap
pointed by Governor Olcott several
months ago to investigate and de
termine means for raising additional
revenue. I. K. Day of Portland is
chairman of the committee.
It was brought out at today's meet
ing of the assessors that some action
should be taken to make available
for taxation bonds snd other secur
ities. It was said that many thou
sand dollars' worth of these securi
ties go untaxed for the reason that
they cannot be located by the asses
sors. F, L, Lelnenweber pf Clatsop

assessors' association, while J. T.

Most of the day was given over to

affect the welfare of the several
counties represented at the conven
tion. DEAF MUTE SEEKS DEATH
Timely Arrival of Police Officer
Prevents Leap Into River.
Despondent because he has been de
prlved of the right to see his little 2
year-old daughter since his "wife's
death, A. C. Stevens, a deaf mute,
attempted to end his life early yes
terday by throwing himself into the
Willamette river near the foot of Spo
kane street. Just as he was about
to make the fatal leap Patrolman
Burch came upon him and restrained
him. Stevens was taken' to jail and
charged with disorderly conouct.
In police court. Stevens offered tes
timony to the effect that his wife had
died about a year ago. His wife's
mother took his Infant daughter into
her home and has since refused to
permit him to see her, was his testi
mony. If he could not have his
daughter near him. life waa not
worth living and he would much
ratber be dead, was the sentiment of
the man as revealed to Judge Ross

court of domestic relations in order
that Stevens might have an opportu
nity to obtain his daughter if he la
found to be deserving.
