Street Assessment Halsefl Question
of Validity r Election Annexing
Addition to Municipality.
SALEM. Or.. Oct. 28. (Special.) To
test the validity of a special city elec
tion held several months ago defeat
of which might result In the State
Asylum for the Insane and the State
Penitentiary being considered outside
of the city limits. Attorney w. r. i.ora,
Jr.. has In the Circuit Court a case
which Involves the right of state em
ployes to vote at certain elections and
to determine whether the annexation
of certain districts Is legal.
Prior to the Inst census a special
election was held for the purpose of
taking the asylum and penitentiary
and contiguous districts Into the city
in order to swell the sum total of the
population by 3000 people.
Attorney Lord sets up the conten
tion that every voter In the district
to be annexed who voted In favor of
the annexation was a state employe
working at the asylum.
He Is appearing for N. Day. who Is
bringing the suit to set aside the
validity of a street assessment. In
case the contention of Attorney Lord
proves to have foundation It will re
lieve certain property owners of this
assessment and at the same time will
result in the city limits not Includ
ing the two state Institutions.
At the election for bringing the In
stitutions within the limits of the city
there were 43 votes cast and nine of
these were opposed to It, these 43
votes beiag only those In the district
affected outside of the city limits. At
the asylum there are more than 2000
persons and at the State Penitentiary,
including employes, practically 600 per
sons. All of these, whether citizens
or not. are counted In the census as
residents of Salem, no matter from
what part of the state or county they
might have come.

" Will Be Rushed. '
COMPANY TO BE BONDED
Portland-North Yakima Road to
Pierce Rich Timber, Coal and
Farm Lands L. Harmon, of
Chicago, Heads Project.
Development of a region rich in tim
ber, water power, coal and agricul
ture is the aim of the Washington
Trunk Railway, projected from Port
I land via Vancouver to Norfh Yakima
i and Ellensburg, and for which articles
of Incorporation, with an authorized
I capital of $5,000,000. were filed at
j Olympla yesterday.
laiwrence xiarmon. me uiuuofiu at
torney, who first conceived the Idea of
building the road, has been In Port
land for the last few days and expects
to devote all his time to the prepara
tion for actual construction work. He
has unlimited faith in the resources of
the country through which the pro
posed road will pass.
The route lies in a general northeast
erly direction from Vancouver, and will
cross the Cascades at the most con
venient pass. Klickitat pass has been
suggested and it is probable that it
will be utilized.
Mr. Harmon proposes to bond the
company for the full amount of the
capital stock. He has finances ample
to carry fin all the necessary work
preliminary to issuing bonds. Complete
surveys will be made at once, engi
neers' reports will be prepared on the
entire route and of a territory six
miles on either side of the track, the
freight and passenger possibilities will
be investigated fully and rights of way
will be obtained. The company then
will be In a position to issue its bonds.
It is said that a number of caplalists
already have Investigated the property
with a view of subscribing to t'he
bonds.
Mr. Harmon Is acting independently
In this enterprise. Tha route that ho
proposes to follow from Vancouver to
North Yakima is one that was surveyed
by the Canadian Pacific 17 years ago
and has always been considered a
desirable means of access into Port
land. The possibility that the Milwaukee
might use it has been suggested, but
Mr. Harmon denies that the Milwaukee
road's capital Is Interested In the en
terprise. Those appearing with Mr. Harmon
as incorporators are: C. C. Craig, of
the firm of Hartman & Thompson, of
Portland; W. P. Connaway, cashier of
the Vancouver National Bank, and
Elmer E. Waite. of Vancouver.

ALBANY, Or., Oct. 28. (Special.)
One of the shortest wills ever filed in
this states and probably In the entire
country, was filed in the County Court
of Linn County today. It is the will
of Rev. A. M. Acheson. pastor of the
t'nited Presbyterian Church, of Shedds.
who died recently. The body of the
document contains only 88 words.
Tha will is void, however, under the
laws of Oregon because the children
of the deceased are not mentioned in
It and no effort will be made to pro
bate it. It was merely attached to the
petition of the widow, Jennie E. Ache
son, for appointment as administratrix,
to show his desire that she administer
upon the estate.
The will reads as follows: "I here

beloved wife, Jennie E. Acheson, all
my property, personal and real, where

COMMISSION IS REVIVED
Salem Residents Plan to Snbmit
Amendment Despite Defeat,
SALEM. Or., Oct. 28. (Special.)
Further plnns for amendments to the
city charter, which will take on the
aspect of a commission form of gov
ernment, for Salem are being made,
though members of the charter com
mission, after the defeat given to the
plan at the recent election, declared
that It would probably be several years
before the city again-took up the ques
tion of a commission form of govern
ment. Mayor Lachmund Is formulating plans,
which may take the shape of amend
ments to be vofcd on at the regular
city election in December. Tentatively
these would provide for a separation of
the legislative and executive depart
ments of the city, which was not con
templated under the charter as defeat
ed. Under that charter the legislative,
judicial and executive were all under
one head.
Under the proposed amendments the
executive would remain with the pos
sibility of appointing the Chief of
Police and perhaps the City Recorder.
Other commissioners would be named
to have charge of the legislative
functions. Under this plan It is con
