Students; Both Men and Worn
en, Work With Will to Clean
Campus for Coming Con

''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. Botsford.

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' .:;;''.''

Cil III TEST
THE VALIDITY OF

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, -. ". . ..
