ANEW
People' Power Leaffae Deliberates
on Berolatlonary Amendment
and Prepares Xew Draft
Altering Drastic Ideas.
Discovering- that Its proposed con
atltutlonal amendment. Introducing
sweeping and revolutionary changes In
the state constitution, was not "taking
well" with the voters, the People's
Power League has been holding sev
ral meetings for a more deliberate
consideration of the proposed measure
and Its radical provisions.
W. 8. tTHen and other members of
the organisation that la sponsor for
the Drouoaed amendment will not In
dlrate to what extent the original
draft will be altered before It Is finally
lubmltted to the people.
There Is a strong suspicion, based
on facts that have leaked from the
committee room, that when the amend
ment reappears It will be minus several
of Its most drastic features, chief of
which will be that providing for a cab
Inet plan of state and county govern
ment.
Revised Draft Sooa Out.
The revised draft of the amendment
will be completed In a few days and. It
Is understood, will still retain four ma
terial changes In the present system.
namely: Abolishment of the State Sen
ate, proportional representation, proxy
plan of voting In the Legislative As
sembly, which will consist of 0 mem
bers, and the preferential plan of vot
Inc. giving the elector first, second and
"other choices In selecting all cancl
dates. By the preferential plan of
voting the "short ballot" will be pro
vided. The direct primary nominating
election la dispensed, with and the se
lection of all public officials. Including
members of the Legislative Assembly,
will take place In one election.
With the proposed abolishment of the
State Senate, the functions of the leg
islatlve branch are vested In a Legis
lative Assembly of 60 members, who
shall be elected under a proportional
representation plan which Is provided.
Each of the (0 members will cast on
every rollrall the total number of
votes he received In the election. Tin
Governor and the defeated candidates
for Governor will be ex-offlrlo mem
bers of the Assembly and will repre
sent the minority by casting on every
rollcall the total number of votes rant
for the unaucceesful candidates In their
respective parties.
Cablaet Idea ta II Dropped.
The cabinet form of government for
the atate, which Is to be dropped from
the proposed amendment, according to
report, provided f r the election of
only two state officials a Governor
and an Auditor the Governor to ap
point a business manager at an attrac
tive salary. The Governor waa also
authorized to appoint all other state
officials that are now elective, also the
Sheriffs and District Attorneys In the
different counties.
This plan of government went even
further and provided for the election
In enrh county of a board of three di
rectors who should choose a business
msnsger. This business manager was
to sppolnt all other county officers.
The committee that la working with
the amendment expects to complete the
revised draft late this week. The bill
will then be printed and Initiative pe
titions will be circulated Immediately
In order to get the required 1000 signa
tures and file the completed petition
with the Secretary of State prior to
July 4. That la the last day for filing
Initiative measures If they are to be
submitted to the voters In the Novem
ber election.
DAHLIA SHOWJN AUGUST
Women of Xehalem Will Make It
Annual Feature.
One of the most pleasurable Incidents
of the excursion held recently by the
Portland Commercial club to the Tilla
mook and Nehalem Bay districts was
the compliment paid them by the wo
men of Nehalem. who decorated the
cars of the excursionists while the
member of the party were visiting

KLAMATH GETS NEW HOTEL
Another Modern Structure as Brick
Annex to Be llullt.
Kr-tMATH FALLS. Or.. June .
(Special.) Another modern hotel is to
be conducted In Klamath Falls as the
result of a deal completed here. The
Hotel Llvermore, which was closed un
der a court order a few days ago, ia to
be reopened by K. B. Hall, proprietor of
the Baldwin Hotel, and a modern brick
annex erected to Increase I's capacity.
This deal means that Klamath Falls
will have three modern hostelrtes. The
Baldwin Is at tho west end of Main
street and la modern in every respect.
The White Pelican, the new I2C0.O00
hotel erected by the Klu march Develop
ment Company last year. Is at the east
end of Main street. The Llvermore is
about half way between the other two.
When the annex Is completed the
Llvermore will have S4 rooms and an
up-to-date grill will be operated In
connection with the hotel. The reason
for the failure of the Llvermore under
Its former msnagement was said to be
the lack of sufficient guest space.
Kldgeflrld Has Good Perry Crop.
RIDGEFIELD. Wash.. June I. (Spe
cial.) F. B. Thomas has a wonderful
patch of atrawberrlrs. They are ripen
ing and he will have strawberries for
months to come. In order to estimate
the yield the fruit was counted on
three plants. One plant had 111 ber
ries and the other two bore 402 and
411. This Is an average of 101 berries
to a plant and the patch an a whole
will easily reach this figure. It la lo
cated on a side hill and from the foot
nearly every plant can be seen, loaded
with luscious fruit.

There will be no shortage of hops In

time to estimate the alse of the Eng

FREAK SPRINGS FOUND
WATKItS POSSESS MANY NOTA
BLE PROPERTIES.
One . Spring- Furnishes "Chicken
Soup," Another Jelly and Another
Has Cleaning Qualities. -
BOISE. Idaho. June 8. (Special.)
The famous springs of the Tellowstona
and other great parks of this country
apparently are backed completely off
the boards by the. discovery of freakish
springs near Weiser, Idaho, on what Is
known aa the Washington Hlnes ranch,
for they not only produce a solution as
savory as chicken aoup a la carte, but
also jelly, and ara famous for their
cteanslng ar.d curative qualities. Each
on of tha remarkable springs Is differ
ent, both In else and character of flow,
and their combined strength Irrigates
a large pear orchard.
"Chicken Soup" la the title Mr. Hlnes,
who la one of the lsrgest ranchera In
that vicinity, believes ia appropriate to
label his springs. "All that la neces
sary," ha saj". "la to add a little pep
per and perhaps a lltt'o salt and butter,
serve the peculiar water from one of
my springs In bowls, and If those whs
taste It don't believe It's chicken soup,
they'll be different from anyone that
ever visited my place."
The "Chicken Soup" spring, accord
ing to Mr. Hlnes, Is a, group of eight.
Hlnes has promised to take sa:nplea of
the springs' water for analysa
All the springs produce warm water
The aoup spring is boiling- hot. The
water ia clouded, but not dirty, and I's
odor Is Inviting.
The second boiling spring has all the
soap in the world beaten for scouring
purposes. One application of th water
from thla spring on grease tint liss
been In the cloth for years. nd the
grease is removed. It will clean var
nish off furniture and take paint
snaked In boards for years off without
trouble.
Another one of the springs Is even
more wonderful than that of the chick
en soup and natural soap. It produces
a thick substance which, when well
shaken, forms a Jelly. It Is not edible.
There Is the "beauty spring," In the
bottom of which there has been form

In many colors. It has all the appear

ALVEOLAR TEETH

keepa ao many people away from the
dental office as the fear of being hurt.
The demtlst who does good work with
out Inflicting severe pain usually has no
difficulty In securing plenty of work.
Good, classy work R-enerally commands
remunerative fees. But if It could sud
denly dawn on the minds of the public
that all dental work could be done wtth
the Infliction of so little pain that It
would not be minded, which la a fact In
our offlcea, the dental offices of this
land would overflow with patients. It
Is the shrewdest form of dental busi

prevents our exercising that skill and

our offices the Mecca of the fearful.

Iraaoeelkle.
If only your front teeth are left, say
J or . 4 or more, we ' can replace all
thoee that have been lost on both sides
clenr bsrk with perfect Alveolar teeth,
whilst brldgework- would be tmpoimlble
even if vou had B or 10 front teeth to
tie to. If you have only two back teeth
on each side, say molars, we can sup
ply all the front teeth that are missing
with beautiful, serviceable, lifelike Al
veolar teeth. -This could not possibly
be dona by the bridge route. Suppose
you have lost your Isst (back) teeth,
two or more upper or lower on either
side. We can replace them with Al
veolar teeth. The bridge specialist
would have to advise a partial plate
which would encumber your mouth aa
well as to help to destroy your other
teeth. Where you have lost a few
teeth there are dentists mho would ex
tract all the rest to mske room for a
plate. (Where people have no teeth
we make plates, too. And when we do
they look like they grew there. They
are scientifically and artistically built
for service and comfort as well as
beauty.) Kven where brldgework la
