''Cleaning up the institution" was the V atobword at Reed college Tuesday, iiea Professors Stabl, Torrey and An. derson, the entire faculty, responded to a tall from the administration for help ' ia cleaning up the campus. One hundred and thirty-two men and women spent the entire day at hard labor, and at 'night gathered around a crackling flr In tha man's coclai room. The college will soon hare as guests" at It conference on the "Conservation of , Human Life" a crowd estimated. Dy ' 1'resUlent W. T Foster at 6000 persons. As adverse weather conditions have do- layed the clearing and beautlflcatlon of the grounds, it was believed impossible to get the campus ready for the reeep ' tloa of visitors by other than excep . tional means. ; ' ' ' By pruning trees, carrying and bum " Ing rubbish, a large committee of wom- en, in charge of JatinettrfarUer.-praci tlcally created a park in the natural grove at the western end of the cam- pus. A gang of the men under the dl- rection of Glenn Johnson, cleared away several unsightly stumps. The baseball field was put in better conditioner the . coming games. . Flanking was installed . around the asphalt tennis courts, where mud has heretofore made playing some- what -unpleasant .u-,:'K..-..i .'. The most spectacular performance of i the day was the removal of the old ' building formerly used as a pumping , plant on the Ladd Crystal Springs farm. , The men picked the building up bodily ,, and carried it nearly a quarter of a mile to the edge of Crystal Springs lake, at the western end of the campus, where '.' it will be used as a boathouse. The college furnished the noon lunch, . and the dinner in the evening. The meals were prepared by a committee of the girls, of which Miss Agnes Wlnchell ' was the chairman. Marvin Howes was at the head of the student work, while the faculty commit ' tee in charge of the day was Professor H. B. Hastings, Edward O. Slsson and C B.

Fl II BANKERS MEET AT SALEM AND DEALL DECIDES 1 0 PUT UP CANNERY KLABER ESTATE MUST -PAV4300 1N-TAXES The estate of Herman Klaber. a vic tim of the Titanic disaster, will pay the stats of Oretton approximately $3300 in taxes, according to Deputy State Treas urer Ryan. The estate in Oretron amounts to about 1122.000, and will pay about $1000 taxes. The remainder will come to the state as the result Of the decision of Probate Judge Cleeton that the pergonal property of the estate in Washington is subject to the Inheritance tax law of this state. The personal property In - Washington Is valued at II 1 8,000, and real property In the same state Is worth $27,000 more. The real property cannot be taxed by Oregon, but Judge Cleeton holds that the per sonal property can when it comes Into this state as it must before the estate ts -closed. Judge Cleeton also ordered that the estate be appraised again. This order was occasioned by the fact that the property-oftfie estate consisting of ac counts of the hop firm of Klaber, Wolf & Netter was appraised 10 per cent below Its actual value. Deputy Ryan objected to the reduction and Judge Cleeton sustained his objection. The reduction was claimed to have been made to cover losses In collections. At torney Joseph Simon, representing the heirs, objected to both proceedings. His objection ' in the first Instance was based onthoa.ss.rtion that the state of Washington would tax the property and that the Oregon tax would cover the same property taxed by Waslilngto,n, thus subjecting the : estate to double taxation. a-V'';.'-vViV' .:;;''.'' : : -' -'.'."v..

Cil III TEST THE VALIDITY OF fflWEVACT Railway Commission Asked to Compel P. R., L & P. Co. to Build Extension From Lents to Mt, Scott Park Cemetery. A case that promises to give ample opportunity to test th recently passed Maiarkey pubiio utility Din is round in tbe charges that have been filed with the stat railway commission by II. R. Reynolds, manager of . the ' Mt. Scott Park Cemetery assocfiflTon, against the Portland Railway, Light & Power com pany to compel th construction of a stub line from Lents to the cemetery, on Which a hearing was he'd this morning. With th exception of a petition filed about ten days ago by a number of the the East Side clubs, this Is th first tlm th commission has been asked to pass on th matter of compelling exten sions, and as the Jurisdiction of the railway commission It questioned by corporations, ' the case; presents dif ficult problem. J r Equally important is another question on which th commission must pass. It Involves an offer by a private concern In this case, thw Mt. Bcott Park Ceme tery company, to guarantee any deficit that may be Incurred in the operation of such an extension as Is asked, and th offer to secure th right of way, the right' being reserved by the ceme tery company,, to share in making th traffic rules. " , . ' president Josselyn's Attitude. -Unless this matter is finally settled before June 1, additional complication to those already encountered will come up, for at present all the proposed ex tension 1 out of th city limits, while after Jun 1, when Lents becomes a part of th city of Portland, mor than one half the proposed extension is in tlie city limits, end the railroad com mission ii not nl ven the right to super cede .'the rights of the city In exercis ing control over Its streets, , 1 Yesterday morning, before the com mission, Mr. Reynolds announced that he had taken up the matter four years ago With president Josuelyn of the P. U. L. & P.-company, of making this ex tension of 1 mllo, offering to secure the necessary right of way, and to pay all deficits in the operation of th line and to pay interest on the bonds, lie charged that Josselyn had showed no disposition to be even fair In the mat tor, and said that he had appealed to th commission, not for th final pur pose Of asking them to . make a ruling on th matter, but to get th matter to a basis of negotiation., II outlined that "under these terms, the railway company could operate a car that would accommodate 1 the people who have oc casion to visit the cemetery, for which adequate facilities do not now exist. He contended- that it would not only4 an aid to the cemetery company but a boon to th people of Portland. , ' - The P.' R. L. & P. company was rep resented at this - hearing , by Thomas Pumfrey, engineer of maintenance of way, C, J. Franklin, general superintend ent of the railway department, and Har rison Allen, attorney. The testimony given by ' the two ' of f lclals," under the direction of Mr. Allen, was to th ef fect' that the- construction of such a line would be prohibitive on account of the cost, which would amount to 140,000 and the fact that the revenue would not be sufficient. They did not, combat nor attempt to discuss the offer of Mr. Rey nolds to guarantee the deficit One of the principal points of th discussion was th estimate by th rail way company's engineers, on the cost of the construction of this line, and as a result of the disagreement, th engin eers connected with the-.commlsslon with representatives of both th other Tffles will view ,th proposed rout of this extension and pass on th estimate submitted by th car company. Th matter was continued for further hear ing until the engineers make report. ; Th first application mad t- the railway commission, regarding th pro posed East Portland crosstown line, will not be acted upon on the grounds that the matter rests with th city coun cil, and that th commission has no right to Interfere with th rights of th city in exercising oontrol over th Streets, -.
