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,

Married 37 Years Ago and Who

Children.
TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 12.-(Spcc!al.)
Well-dressed, but weary and worn, Mrs.
Ganz, of Portland, called upon the police
this morning to see If they could not in
duce her husband, who she says Is em
ployed in the Wrheelor Osgood mills, to do
something toward her keep, or, falling
in that, give her money enough to return
to Portland.
It was a pitiful story she told. After 37
years of married life and aftor bearing 11
children for hor husband, she says he de
serted her almost a year ago. She was
then running a boardlag-houso in Port
land. She says that on two or three oc
casions he had left her. but he always
came home again.
Since Mr. Ganz left home last, accord
ing to the wife, he has not communicated
with the family nor contributed to their
support. The boarding-house ran behind
and the woman was forced to give It up.
She used her last money to follow her
husband to Tacoma. Mrs. Ganz has seen
her husband and she says he refuses to
help her.
The police have no jurisdiction In the
case. The woman was referred to a law
yer. She seems to be about 60 years old,
and Is a comely, motherly-looking body.
She gained tho sympathy of all who
heard her story.
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
