PEN IS STRICKEN
FROM SALARY ROLL
Oregon Single Tax Leader to
Get No More Pay Because
He Is Candidate.
TALK MADE AT HARVARD
Oregon City Man Gives His Opinions
on Initiative and Referendum
and Tells of Conditions
in This State.
BOSTON. Dec 2. (Special Corre
spondence.) Joseph Fels Is weary of
the role of financial angel In the cam
paign for single tax. and at the final
meeting of the National conference yes
terday at the Twentieth Century Club,
he announced that unless others con
tributed more generously next year to
the single tax fund, he might be
counted out of the list of contributors.
However, he said he was confident that
the fund would grow and that even his
death would not end the work.
During Sunday the five members of
the commission discussed the situation
among themselves. No report of their
deliberations was made to the confer
ence. Chairman Kiefer, of Cincinnati,
was asked for an outline of the meet
ing, but said that there was nothing
to report, and the only matter of con
sequence mentioned by members of the
commission was the dropping out of
Mr. U'Ren, of Oregon, as a paid mem
ber, because of his candidacy for Gov
ernor of Oregon. -
In talking over the situation in Ore
gon with Mr. U'Ren, It was virtually
decided that the clause exempting (250
of land value in Mr. ITRen's new meas
ure be eliminated when that measure
again is presented to the voters of
Oregon.
U'Ren Makm AddreM.
Mr. U'Ren, by invitation, today ad
dressed the Economic Club, of Boston,
and a number of Harvard undergradu
ates at. Cambridge.
Mr. U'Ren took for his subject the
"Declaration of . Independence." "We
hold these truths self-evident," he said,
"but sometimes there is a difference
in interpretation. I interpret them as
giving every man equal opportunity to
use the National resources of the coun
try and to share in the value of them
with no special privilege allowed.
"As to the methods by which this
may be attained: We are said to have
a representative government, but we
know that we haven't. The people are
not fairly represented In the Legisla
tures by spokesmen of their own choos
ing. It is one party or the other that
monopolizes, as in Oregon, for instance,
where out of 90 men in the Legislature
80 or more are Republicans that is
not representative government. And
that is why people are turning to the
initiative and referendum."
View Are Glveu.
He discussed the Initiative and refer
endum idea and declared his belief that
where conditions are good' and the ex
ecutive officials have, due appreciation
of their responsibility, it would be
found that the Initiative and referen
dum would seldom be used. "I think,"
he said, "that where a large number
of measures appear on the ballot it is
both a, demonstration of the Interest of
the people in getting goad government
and of the inefficiency and incompe-1
tence of their representatives."
MEDFORD CASE IS SETTLED
Socialists' Threat of Mandamus Suit
Fixed Up by Council.
MEDFORD. Or.. Dec. 7. (Special.)
The right of war for the mandamus
suit threatened by the Socialists, to de
cide the status of Recorder Foss and
Councilman Campbell in the forth
coming city election was cleared
Thursday night when City Attorney
Neff, who made a decision that the
two held unexpired terms, announced
that he would waive the call for elec
tion to expedite matters, and allow the
court to give its opinion and the peo
ple to know if the offices were to be
voted for. Also the Councilmen agreed
to stand the expense of the suit, not to
exceed $25, a nominal cost for the ac
tion. '
Recorder Foss and Councilman Camp
bell declared -that this would please
them, the former saying that he
wanted it that way, law or no law. The
waiving of the election call, by the
City Attorney will allow the question
to be settled before election, without
a rush at the 11th hour.
RAILROAD MONEY COMING
Subscriptions to Pacific Interior
Project Gratify Promoters.
GRANTS FASS, Or, Dec. 7. (Spe
cial.) The Pacific Interior Railroad
Company is meeting with success In
getting subscriptions. Dr. J. F. Reddy,
from Med ford, is at Crescent City,
where he is organizing that end of the
project.
It is determined to begin laying rails
at the end of the 12-mile stretch at
Crescent City. Construction work prob
ably will start here immediately.
The Draper right-of-way, obtained
about six years ago, will be acquired.
This will necessitate a bridge across
Rogue River within the city limits,
which will be one of the expensive
Items at the .commencement. Grading
will be easily done at this time of the
year.
About 40 new subscriptions were
turned in today. Outside subscribers

Frank M. Leland, of McKay, Idaho.
WALLA WALLA VOTES SOON
Citizens to Be Called to Decide Im
portant Questions in 1913.
WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Dec. 7.
(Special.) Citixens of Walla Walla
will be called upon this coming year
to decide two things the voting of
bonds for the construction of a reser
voir for the city water supply and the
voting of bonds to take up the out
standing warrants. No time has been
set for the holding of these elections,
as the Commissioners say they want to
give the people a chance to register.
The city has $216,000 in warrants out
standing, and the sum is increasing
every month, while it will be impos
sible to redeem any of them before
March 10, at which date the first pay
ment from the taxes will be available.
Taxes are not due till March 1, and
, the Commissioners think there wilj be
little ready by March 10. By April 10.
however, ihpy expect to be able to re
deem considerable of the paper.
The city's handicap comes because
of changing the fiscal year to corre
spond with the calendar year.

DAILY AVERAGE 30 MILES
Charles Galbraltb, of Spokane, Fast
Walker, Despite Absence of Low
er Limb, Expects to Reach San
Francisco by New Tear's.
HOOD RIVER. Or., Dec. 7. (Special.)
Although he has but one leg, Charles
Galbraith, son of I. J. Galbraith, a con
tractor of Spokane, has more courage
than many men possessing both lower
limbs, and can walk faster than most
men. Young Galbraith, who has Just
reached his 21st birthday, left Hood
River this morning for Portland, ac
companied by his friend, Randall Tut
tle, of Spokane.'who Is making the long
hike with him. They left the Inland
Empire City Sunday before last and
have made an average of 32 miles daily
since their departure. They declare
that they expect to cover an average of
30 miles every, day on their way- down
to the Golden Gate. "And we are go
ing to be in San Francisco for New
Year's .night anyhow,." -says .young- Ga.h
braith.
The young one-legged athlete is well-
known In and around Spokane. He
participated in athletics on the high
school, team last year and is now a
ember of the athletic teams of the Y.
M. C. A. Despite the loss of his limb
he is especially proficient in aquatic
sports. The young man is a brother of
the former football star or fuiiman,
who at the time of hiB gridiron fame
was picked for an all -Northwestern
team.
While here this morning the two long
distance hikers visited Mayor E. O.
Blanchard and delivered greetings from
Mayor Hindley of Spokane, from the
latter of whom they carry a letter to
the chief executive of San Francisco.
Mayor Blanchar signed this epistle.
They carry a blanket, small camp kit
and food, in order that tbey may be
provided for in case nightfall catches
them away from any habitation. "How
ever, we always like to get into some
city for the nights," said young Gal
braith. When night comes, after a fel
low has walked 30 or more miles, he
feels like a good square meal and a
good bed to sleep in."

Marshfield election Harry Winkler
and Carl Albrecht will favor a mu
nicipally owned water works. At the
election the contest was on the water
works question. Those favoring steps
toward the city buying and improving

MARSHFIELD ELKS DO
"STUNTS" FOR CHARITY
Elaborate Minstrel Show, "The Big Noise," Is Staged and Eight-Page
Newspaper Published and Sold for Benefit of Needy.
MARSHFIELD. Or Dec. 7. (Spe
cial.) The preparations for the
entertainment by the Marshfield
lodge of Elks Thursday and Friday,
were more extensive than for any ama
teur undertaking of the kind ever given
in the city and the event was a big
success. The proceeds of the enter
tainment went to the charity fund of
the Elks' lodge. Rufus K. Love, who
makes a business of arranging Elks'
performances, was brought here to
stage the production. The show was
called "The Big Noise." and the pro
gramme consisted of a .minstrel and a
vaudeville. The members of the Elks
took part, assisted by several girls who
have particular talent.
In the minstrel show. Eugene Cros
thwaite was the Interlocutor. The
"bones" were J. A. Johnson, C. W.
Montgomery and Frank Horton. and the
"tambos" F. D. Fletcher, Guy W. Cham
bers and Martin Sherrard. Vocal selec
tions by a number of the Elks were in
cluded in the programme.
One of the pleasing features of the
entertainment was the fancy dance by
Mary Metlln and Edna Hawkman, two
local girls who have much ability.
Several days preceding the entertain
ment the Elks published an eight page
newspaper in which they printed local
hits about the members and well
known persons. ' The Elks' lodge, of
Marshfield, has been . organized several
years and now has a large membership.
Each year an entertainment is given
for the benefit of the charity fund, but
this year's production was much more
elaborate than ever before attempted.
Artificia Teeth
Specialist on Plate Work.
This one thing I do.
Owing to the rapid strides that have
been made in the dental profession in
the last few years it has become abso
lutely necessary to separate the work
into its various and well-defined
branches.
The prominent men in the dental
profession have realized for some time
that it was an utter impossibility for
any one person to become proficient
in all of the various branches.
Ever since dentistry has been a rec
ognized profession there has been a
great' tendency among the dentists to
slight plate work, giving up all of
their time and study to methods tend
ing to preserve the natural teeth. The
reason for this is obvious, as the work
is much easier, requires less artistic
and mechanical, ability and is much
more remunerative.
TTnfortunatelv. only about one out
of every one hundred plates con
structed by the general practitioner in
dentistry gives complete satisfaction
to the natient. Hundreds of people
are wearing plates in this country to
day, struggling along with the belier
that they have the best to be obtained,
when as a matter of fact, all of their
troubles can be laid directly to the
lack of skill in this branch of the gen
eral practitioner.
The anatomical method is used in
making all my plates, and by using
this new mechanical appliance to get
the correct positions of the upper and
lower jaws, restoring the natural ex
pression to the face, it gives pleasing
results.
It is difficult to compare these re
sults with those from plate work done
in a haphazard manner, beeause there
is no comparison in the value of the
service rendered to the patient. In
the ordinary, form of plate work any
real crushing or chewing ability
which the patient may have is largely
a matter of accident.
If unable to give complete satisfac
tion after a reasonable trial I will
gladly refund the price paid.
Artificial teeth repaired.

teeth, "This One Thing I Do."

wife knows a chuck steak from a sir
loin, but many of them do not know
just how to cut up the carcass of a
meat animal properly," and the farmer
and his wife were taught this art by the
ctitlery demonstrations, for which ex
perts from one of the big Portland
packing houses were brought to the
college. But to the city housewife and
the merchant or clerk who do mar
keting, this two days' study' was a rev
elation. It Is a fact that city butchers have
been known to dispose of a quarter of
beef on the "dime's worth" plan and
always have any cut called for as long
as there is a pound remaining on the
block. This is a comparatively easy
matter when the purchaser's knowl
edge of meats goes no further-than a
distinction between suet and soup bones
and where the marketing Is done by
telephone or at the kitchen door, the
butcher's boy acting as the medium.
Because of this woeful lack of knowl
edge concerning meat animals and meat
cuts, this new feature of meat demon
stration was added by the college au
thorities to the work of Farmers' week.
The lectures and demonstrations en
able the Farmers' week students to
follow the meat animals from the
range to the retail shop.
