(Special.) ...i f n son for the use by Governor -West In his crusades against vice 5000 to be used as rewra. . the capture of criminals and $500 to be used by the Governor in f tiio Portland gas franchises were created by the Emergency Board at a heated session today. In addition to creating these de flclencies, the board voted to recom tn fha next session of the Legis i.,o that an anoropriatlon of J1500 be made to reimburse Governor West for money he has expended out of his own pocket to carry on me fight since he exhaustea ivuu a.vli. priated for that purpose at the last ses sion. West V ast Money Back. The Governor sprang a surprise on the board by announcing that since the appropriation had been ex hausted he had spent $1500 personally In the conduct of the work, and intro ducing a resolution providing that a deficiency be created to reimburse him. This was denied and then a motion was made that the board recommend that the next Legislature make an ap propriation reimbursing the Governor. Treasurer Kay Insisted that the Gov ernor had spent the money without warrant of law. and If the Board cre "ated a deficiency to reimburse him It would be violating the law. He con " tended that the reimbursing of the Gov ernor would virtually be creating a deficiency, despite the fact that the money had been spent in advance with out authorization of fhe Board. Mr. Kay also declared he would not be a party to asking the Legislature to make an appropriation to reimburse the Gov ernor for money which he believed was spent in violation of the law. ' Executive Tell of Plot. President of the Senate Malarkey and Speaker of the House McArthur said that while they had no doubt the money had been properly spent they wished time in which to examine the vouchers and receipts. Mr. Malarkey Insisted that the proposition lie on the table until the next meeting of the board. After much wrangling the mo tion carried, whereupon the Governor spoke most dramatically of what ho bad done since his inauguration and bow he had been harassed. Governor West charged that an at tempt had been made in connection with vouchers relating to his moral crusade, to collect evidence on which to send him to prison. He did not mention the names of those implicated Jn the alleged plot, and other members of the board told the Governor he was laboring under a delusion. Governor to Quit Loser. Continuing, Mr. West said in part: "I am going out of office with less money than I had when I came in. I will not be a candidate for re-election, for I would not be harassed in the future as I have In the past by pea- (Concluded on Pag 6.)

About five miles west of Taqulna Heads the carcass of a large whale was sighted and Captain earner went to tow It close to the entrance to the harbor as an attraction for excursion parties.

CORPORATION TAX CONTINUED Hundred Rated as Receiving Million a Year or More.

According to estimates today by Treasury experts, 425,000 American residents must report to the Income Tax Collector next Spring exactly how much they owe the Gov eminent under the new income tax law.

SUN SETS ON NEW CHAMPION COWBOY Bob Gavin Wins Bron cho Bustin' Laurels. FRONTIER DAYS FIXES TITLE Victory Carries $500 Cash and Gorgeous $750 Saddle. 23,000 SEE DARING FEATS Walla Walla Event Establishes It self In Northwest History Tread ing Performers Will Take Part in The Dalles Rodeo. BY ADDISON BENNETT. "WALLA WALLA, Wash., Sept. 27. (Special.) The final day of Walla Wal la Frontier Days came to a close as the sun sank in the west tonight, with 23, 000 people shouting themselves hoarse to acclaim a new world's champion bronco buster, Bob Gavin, Chief of Po lice of Caldwell. Idaho. Had the mat ter been left to the audience the prize would have hung in the balance be tween Gavin and John Spain, but the judges were better prepared to see the intricacies of the riding than the audi ence, so no douDt their verdict was fair. What wonderful riding there was in the finals of that event, or rather the semi-finals! There were ten singled out by the judges for the day's trials and all but one or two drew horses that were really buckers. Not a man was thrown, not a man "pulled leather," not a man showed the least streak of yel low. Prise Is $500 and 9750 Saddle. After the ten had ridden the Judges selected John Spain. Bob Gavin, Tex McLeod and Red Parker to see which should get the first, second and third prizes. As said. Bob Cavin won the coveted prize, which carried with the championship $500 in cash and a won derful saddle, valued at $750. Spain got JJ50 as the second prize. It is doubtful if any wild west show ever staged a greater show than that given here today Not only the quality of the sport but the excellent manage ment called forth the encomiums of all with whom I fell in contact In a former dispatch it was mentioned that great credit should be given Presi dent Brents and Secretary Johnson. Without detracting or retracting it can be said that for the staging and execu tion of the events and for arranging for the male and female participants and the great array of cattle and horses, great credit, in fact, the sole credit, is due to George and Tom Drum- heller, who handled the amusement end of the affair. 23,000 See Final Day. In estimating the number present to day at 23,000 I think the figures are fair. I took pains to pass around through the stands and count the rows of seats and the number In each row. The figures are not a mere guess. Some will undoubtedly say there were 30.00C and others will place the number below 20,000, but my figures are fair. Let it be remembered, in figuring on the attendance, that this was an ex- Derlmental show, that not a special train was run into the town during the week. The railroads did not great ly boost the show. It was a new venture and the railway officials were skepti cal as to the results, which was per fectly natural and proper. Another year the railway officials will undoubtedly take pleasure in giving the show all the assistance possible. The trip from Portland, especially over the North Bank road, is a pleasurable one even at night In the daytime the road up the north bank (Concluded on Page 6.) GIRL'S SILK HOSE IS POORGUN HOLSTER VIGILANT COP SPIES WEAPON" BELOW HOBBLE SKIRT. Daughter of Portland Business Men, After Daring Jest, Is Arrested and Booked at Jail. When a hobble skirt is worn fur ther to reveal neat silk-encased ankles, the wearer should be careful as to the carrying of a revolver and especially a nickel-plated derringer, plainly vis ible through transparent hose. This was the lesson learned yesterday af ternoon by "Nan Mann," pretty, slen der and 23, who was arrested and booked at police headquaters, charged with carrying a concealed weapon. It Is admitted that the young woman is held under an assumed name and that she is one of several daughters of a prominent business man of Portland. An effort is being made closely to guard the real Identity of the prisoner. to shield the family from embarrassing publicity. The arrest was made by Special Of rlcer Marlow at Broadway and Oak streets, where she alighted from a Van couver car. From a statement made by the woman she had been passing the afternoon with a woman friend, and seeing the revolver on a dressing table in a spirit of Jest appropriated it. HAZING BRINGS RIOT CALL Freshmen Compelled to Propose to Passing Women, Get Surprise. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27. The antics ol six Washington University freshmen who were disciplined by Sophomores here today, created such a commotion nnar a Summer garden that persons liv ing nearby turned In a riot call. Several mounted policemen were required to rilenerSA the crowd. The Freshmen were compelled by the Sophomores to propose marriage to every woman who passed on the street. Some of the women fled in terror, but otib vnunir woman startled two of the proposing students by accepting both.

The supply in this country is not available and cannot be made so on short notice. As for bringing in cattla from Australia or Argentina to make up the shortage in the United State, It is a question whether a large enough supply is obtainable in those countries, and even if such were the case Aus tralia and Argentina prices would nat urally advance because of the enlarged demand, and all prices would again be on a parity. Demand Exceeds Supply. Conditions are the same in the Pa- cific Northwest as in other parts of the country. The demand is greater than the supply, and prices ure going up steadily. Prime beef steers in the local market are worth 8 cents a pound as against 7Vi cents at this time last year and 6V4 cents two years ago.' Five or six years ago cattle were selling at cents, so there has been a gain of almost 100 per cent in prices In that period. Hog and sheep values. In the mean time, have moved up only In a moderaU way. Packers Declnred Helplras. "The packers cannot be blamed for the present conditions, as they are en tirely helpless in the matter," said a local packer yesterday. "They are mora Interested In cheap cattle than in high priced stuff. They have twice as much oney invested in cattle now as they had a few years ago. There is also a greater shrinkage in high cost beef than in the low-priced article. 1' ur thermore, it is easier to do business when prices are low than when they are high. Radical Action May Follow. "Some efforts are beinpf made now to check the rise by promoting the cattle-raising industry, but It will take a long time. It may require radical action by those In authority, such as prohibiting the killing of calves ana females under a certain age, and sim ilar methods. "This is a world-wide question and we cannot hope to get entire relief from abroad. There is much talk of bringing large quantities of Australian beef to America. This may check the advance In prices in this country, but only for a short time, as prices in the two countries are bound to be equalized. Values are already advanc-- (Concluded on Page 2.) CHEAPER
