IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT SiMARTLY DRESSED MEN WILL WEAR THIS SEASON, ASK BEN SELLING GIVES DENIAL. TO CONFESSION Many Corporations Otherwise Cannot Do Business. MONDAY IS THE LAST DAY fully a Fourth of the Companies Doing Business in Oregon, In cluding Some Iiargc Ones, Owe the State Money. SALEM, Or., Aug. 12. (Special.) Ac jordlng to the strict interpretation of the corporation tax law. sevoral hun dred corporations will And their corpo rate powers suspended next Tuesday unless they pay their annual license fees by that time. . Only about three fourths of the companies doing- busi ness in this state have paid their tax this year, and the last day of the time specified for payment will be Monday, August 14. It is possible that all will pay before thai time but not very prob able. A number of important corpora tions are among those that have not yet paid. Section 5 of the corporation tax law requires that the Secretary of State file with the State Treasurer on or before July 15, a. statement of the amount of license fcos due from each corporation. "Within 30 days thereafter every such corporation shall pay or cause to be paid, to the State Treasurer the license fee hereinbefore mentioned." Failure of any corporation to make its annual report or pay its annual fee for 20 days after the time specified renders the corporation liable to a line of $130. Section 9 of the law provides that "no domestic corporation, and no foreign, corporation. Joint stock company dr association, which shall have failed to pay the annual license fee, or any other tax or fee which shall have be come due and payable against it, as provided in this act or any law of this state, .shall be permitted to maintain any suit, action or proceeding in any court of justice within this state while such delinquency shall continue." Section 10 provides that "a plea that any domestic corporation or foreign corporation, joint stock company or as sociation has not paid any tax or fee required by any law of this state, and which Is thon due and payable, may be Interposed at any time before trial upon the merits In any action, suit or proceeding, and if issue be joined upon such plea, the same shall be first tried. Such plea cannot be made at any time by the delinquent corporation." It thus appears from the language of the statute that a corporation's powers are suspended whenever a tax is due and unpaid, but "the concern Is not liable to a fine until It has been delin quent 20 days. The suspension of pow ers operates as well In the case of the ordinary property tax as in tho case of the license tax. for the statute says "any tax required by any law of this state." LIGHT PROBLEM AT CEXTRALIA City in Darkness While Council De bates Xcw Plant. CBNTRAL.IA, "Wash., Aug. 12. (Spe cial.) At a special meeting of the Centralla City Council and of the light and water committee. Mayor John Gal vin sat down on a proposal to buy a new street-lighting systom for the city. The first of the week the old dynamo at the power pla-nt burned out. To re wind the old dynamo will cost about 5400. The City Electrician, C. A. BIsbey. wants to install a new system, which he says can be put in for $4000, with an allowance of about 52000 on the old machinerj, making the total cost of the new system at $2000. The new lights, Mr. BIsbey says, will pay for themselves In three years, as they will use loss power and will only need trimming every week instead of every day. When the question came up in the Council rooms. Mayor Galvln want ed the firms that wished to put in the new dynamo to guarantee to take the old machine off the city's hands. This the men refused to do. If the electric houses do not find a place to sell the old machine before -the next Council meeting, the old dynamo will probably be rewound and made to do service a while longer, if possible. Mr. BIsbey is now in Tacoma, look ing the matter up. In the meantime the city will be in the dark for street lights .until the matter Is settled, which may take six weeks or two months. SHORT CROP IX THE PALOUSE Inland Empire Expected to Produce More Than Last Year. COLFAX, Wash.. Aug. 12. (Special.) The hot weather "continues, but is doing no damage to grain, which Is now too far advanced to suffer any In jury." Harvest work is well under way. and fully one-half of the crop has been cut. But little threshing has been done, excepting In the western part of the county, whore the .season Is much earlier than here. As the harvest work advances It becomes-more evident that the crop is much smaller than was estimated early In the season and will fall considerably below the yield of last year. There are some fields which arc yielding big crops, but In many others, which have the appearance of yielding from 30 to 35 bushels, the grain has yielded but 18 to 20 bushels per acre. ICear Bndicott a crop of 47 bushels per acre is reported. But -within a short distance of where this was har vested another field yielded but 11 bushels. This is the record low yield thus far this season. There soexns to be a general Impres sion that the "Inland Empire," which Includes Eastern Washington, North ern Idaho and Northeastern Oregon, will yield more grain than last year, but the Palouse country yield will bo less than in 1904, BOLT KILIiS MONTANA "WOMAN Clothing Set on Fire as She Rides on a Hayrake.

DISPLEASED AT THE DECISION" Umatilla Stockmen Are Injured by Migratory Herds. PENDLETON. Or., Aug. 12. (Special.) Umatilla County stockmen generally ex press themselves as being displeased with the decision of the State Supreme Court, which recently declared that the migra tor' livestock law. passed by the last Legislature, Is void. Heretofore it had been the custom of noneresident owners of stock, whether residing In other coun ties or in the State of "Washington, to drive their sheep or cattle through Uxxuu tllla County to the ranges In the Blue Mountains. Frequently much difficulty was experi enced over rights claimed on the public ranges and clashing between stockmen was nbthlng uncommon. Local stock growers, who have been using the ranges for many years, have had certain sections for grazing, and those on friendly terms would be careful not to encroach upon each other's territory. But the bone of contention has been with nonresident stockmen who, local stockmen declare, have been often discourteous and selfish In using the public ranges. "With the migratory tax law, local stock men would be protected to a certain ex tent, believing that outsiders" would re fuse to pay the additional tax and accordingly seek other territories for Summer grazing, or else come to an un derstanding as to the equal and just rights to the ranges In Umatilla County. As far as the local stockmen are person ally concerned, they do not drive their stock out of the bounds of the county, and consequently, would not be subject to tbe Arrivals for Fall We have laid our Fall arrivals on the tables ready for your inspection.
