notes and discounts, yesterday cams
forward with the claim that it Is not
subject to taxation in Oregon becausa
It Is organised under the laws of New
Jersey, and has Its principal place of
business there. The Dtotest wss maoe
by tfie manager of the concern, Jar
Smith.
Mr. 8mlth declares that the corpora
tlon ho represents neither resides in
Oregon nor has Its principal place of
nuMness here. He makes a runner at
tack on the taxation of notes and ac
counts, saying that these assets of the
firm are held for property In the hands
of other persons who are liable for prop
erty taxes on the same goods. This,
It is claimed, would result In double as

thrown cn the men who control the
game In the big cities reveals a row
that nromlses to devcloD Into great pro
portions wlh perhaps another baseball
v.r at the finish. Guess tha players
would hate to see that. No?
The fact that a movement to oust
Han Johnson from the American league
has been launched Is no longer news,
but there la a certain restlessness
among thn high clasp minor leagues
that mnv place Johnson In position to
build n strong rival to the American
and National leagues should be lose his
present Job.
The American association, ranking
with the eastern league as second only
to the major organisations, threatens
to withdraw from the national agree
ment That means that the association
would become a baseball "outlaw," the
same as it waa some six years ago when
It gave the big leagues a lot of trouble.
Furthermore, sav the American asso
ciation people, they will In the event of
such withdrawal place a team in Chi
cago as an entering wedgs for a slice
of big league patronage. Johnson, of
course, ,1s not responsible for this, but
If Comlskey should succeed In routing
the fat boss it is almost certain that
he would not tie long idle. Johnson Is
n director of revolutions a better
fighting general than a peace delegate.
In Sympathy With Minors.
A certain faction In the American
leugue Is tn sympathy with the Ameri
can association. Joe Cantllllon, man
ager of the Washington club, owns the
Minneapolis club of the American
association and has other minor league
Interests. His brother, Mike Cantllllon.
president of the Minneapolis club, la
tho man who lias voiced the associa
tion's protest.
"We are under protection now which
doesn't protect," said Mr. Cantalllon.
"With the present conditions It la ab
solutely Impossible for a club In our
league to know where It stands in re
gards to the make-up of a team until;
the major league magnates are ready
to hand us their discard players. 1 for j
one thing we would be a lot better off
If we cut away from this national
agreement and went out and hustled
for ourselves. Then we couiu gei to
gether some ball clubs Independent of
other leagues and other owners.
"Half the players In our league are
really owned by major league clubs,
and nobodv knows when the string
will e pulled and a team broken up
by the recall of those players. Men
are farmed out to our clubs and Im
mediately want the same salaries In
a minor league that they received in
the big leagues. It Is Impossible to
meet these demands, or course, ana
when we are compelled to reduce their
pay to minor league proportions the men
naturally become dissatisfied and very
often don't glvethe teama their best ef
forts. "Then, again, the patrons In the
American association cities don't like
the idea of getting discarded players all
the time.
ota 2a Ho Good.
' "Belonging to the National Associa
tion of Minor league clubs doesn't do
us any good, for we have one vote In
37, A Class U league has Just as
much power as the American associa
tion when it comes time to vote on Im
portant affairs and there Is no chance
to correct the present evils. The asso
ciation is foollfth if It doesn t pull out,
and I fully expect It will be run next
season Independent of the national
agreement."
Mure than once the association club
owners have been on the point of trying
to break Into Chicago with a club, but
they sfcm to be more In earnest about
this than ever before. If thn disrup
tion comes the St. Taul or Milwaukee
frunchise will be transferred to Chicago.
A nark on Fullerton avenue, west or
Lincoln park, was figured on at one
time, and probably the same site would
be pelected this time
"Just how much of a fuse the asso
ciation's withdrawal from organired
baseball would cae can only be con
Jectured. It woui make the assoela
tlon nn outlaw league, of course, and
a bigger one than has existed at any
time yet. The air would reek for a
time with stories of contract jumping
and outlawry. cntcago haa aj way
looked inviting to tho American asso
ciation magnates, and It looks as though
that league is new ready to cut away
from organised ball and enter this terri

Lady Warwick's White Peacock.
From Tit Bits.
The agricultural school which the
countess of Warwick founded in Essex
10 years ago, and which Is to be closed
forthwith on account of lack of support,
was founded for the purpose of sup-
iiytng a sound education to boys and
Klrls botween the ages of 12 and J7
who Intended to follow rural pursuits.
Those who know how hard the countess
has worked to make this and similar
scheme a success will understand her
keen disappointment.
Outside her work. Lady Warwick
finds chief recreation in her garden
and In the society of her various pets.
Atncxig the latter must be numbered
some 60 peacocks, which are to be seen
about the grounds at Warwick castle.
Lndy Warwick takes immense pride In
these birds, nnd tends them with great
care. There is one pure white bird
which never mixes with the others, but
stands nloof In "splendid isolation."
The oldest man employed on the es
tate says his father could -not remem
ber the time when It was not at the
castle, wmcn would make it nearly a
century old at least. Although his
wonderful white lace tail is getting
very thin, he exhibits no other sign
of age, but he never associates or
feeds with the other peacocks.
We sold two factory sites
and twelve residence lots in
the past week, and more fac
tories coming.
The new Salem railroad
will be completed soon and
the rush is setting in this
way.
Come and look over the
property.
Get' in on the ground floor
and buy before the raise.
We have beautiful resi
dence sites, as well as some
very desirable factory sites.

He was well advanced In years, and
three times a widower yet he had
made up his well-seasoned mind to
marry again. Being minister of the
fiarish it seemed only right he should
nform the chairman of his church'a
trustees of his intention, and, all things
considered, it also seemed DroDer to
.give some reason for a step that he
knew very wen could only be regarded
as unusual. Bo he explained:
"I'm an old man. I can't expect to
live much longer. When the end comes
I would like to have some one dear at
my side to close my eyes."
'"Humph!" snorted the other, "You've
had there and still say that. I have
had one wife only, yet I would put it
'Open your ey.es.' "
