As a hole It was a very ordinary sort of a hole but It was enough to seal Dick Seal's fate, with the holt all around and the azure ceil of heaven above him. - The moanings and gnashlngs of beaks on part of the disconsolalo swans attracted the attention of park employes to Dick's absence from the pond and a posse was sent forth to bring him back to water and captivity, After an hour's search lie was located in the hole and ignominlously dragged back on a rope across the same ground over which he had so merrily flipped and flapped but a short time before. The fence around the pond will be repaired and Dick returned to the swans. If he escapes again he will be anchored. (Salem Burean of The Journal. 1 Salem, Or., March 6.

The decision cam a on a demurrer filed Decern oer 17, 191Z, which Juage jaorrow nas nan. under consideration aunce was ar cued, shortly after it was filed. The demurrer was filed to a salt instituted by Philip Gevartx, of the Multnomah, Mallory and Carlton ho tels: Thomas J. Hammer of the Ockley hotel; J. H. Diets, J. W. Blaney and Edward W. Mueller of the Rainier. Rowland, Parsons and Minook hotels; J. W. Bushong of the Netherlands ho tel; Frank A. Clark -of the Clark and Clyde hotels, and C. venabie or the Venable hotel. The plaintiffs asked that the city be enjoined from putting the ordinance into effect. They alleged that $00 hotels and rooming houses would be affected, and that 200 of these authorized the' suit. The hotels represented by the plaintiffs have ap proximately 1500 rooms. Judge Morrow declared void the sec tion providing that the ordinance shall apply to only such hotels and rooming houses as shall contain 10 or more rooms; the section giving the council power to revoke any permit given under the ordinance at its pleasure, and the section prohibiting any hotel or lodging house proprietor or em ploye in a place coming under- the terms of th ordinance from letting a room to any persons of the opposite sex of whom one or the other , la a, minor, unless . the persons have1 bag" gage or are properly Identified as man and wife. - Tba first section is declared unrea sonable, because It creates a distinc tion; the second la held to permit deprivation .of property, without due process of law. and denial of equal protection under - the laws, and the third is called "an unreasonable re striction on the conduct, of a lawful business." The section requiring a $1000 bond from the proprietors of all hotels and lodging houses Is upheld. Attorney A. E. Clark, who represented the plain tiffs, declared this morning that the findings of the court practically meant the nullification of the entire ordi nance, as the section designating the class of hotels and lodging houses to come under the ordinance has been declared illegal. If the remaining por tions of the ordinance are held to con stitute an ordinance he said it would mean that any person renting one or more rooms must file the $1000 bond required.

Dunne, former collector, to secure refund of special' corporation excise taxes, paid the internal revenue department, were filed in the federal court today in the name of four of the branch lines of the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation company. The complaints allege that . these companies are not in business for i themselves, their property being leased by the O.-W. R. & N. company; that despite this fact, the collectors of In ternal revenue forced them to pay the excise tax; that they applied to th commissioner of Internal revenue at Washington for a refund and that he ordered them to make a more complete statement. For this purpose, that a detailed Investigation may be made, the suits are brought. The plaintiffs and the amount, of taxes each is suing to recover arcx O. W. R. Sc Idaho R. R. company, $686.9$; the Columbia River and Oregon Central R. R., $486.61; the Bnake River Valley R. R.. $870.70, and the Columbia South ern Railway company, $870.

JOHN READY LEAVES MONEY TO CHURCH 7 Of? an estato consisting of $1210 cash John Ready, who died February 18, left $700 for masses for himself. his deceased wife and for perpetual memoersnip of nimself and his wife ln Diocesan Directors of the Propagation of the Faith, New York.

Angel college, $100 to the Mis slon of the Immaculate Virgin for the Protection of Homeless and Des tltute Children, of New York, and $100 to Father Hughes, of St. Law rence Parish. Francis W. Black. nephew, was bequeathed $300 and the residue of the estate was left to Mary J. Courtney, a sister-in-law. William H. and Frank J. Courtney were named executors of the. will. and was not prepared to say .what action he would take. Those who are acquainted with prop erty values, here declare that practicali ty all tho real estate holdings are greatly under-appraised. This is par-' rticularly true, they assert, in regard to the Bush home place, which con sists of the family residence and about 96 acres within the city and within a few blocks of the business center. The property is surrounded "with residences. with improved streets on two sides. It is appraised at $47,500, which Is even $3500 less than its assessed valuation. The appraised value is $500 an acre. while disinterested persons say that adjacent ' city lots are valued at that iigure. The lowest estimate they place on this property Is $1200 an acre, or more tnan ooubie the appraisal. Another piece of property which is said to be appraised at less than its assessed value is the 560 acre farm lcated a few miles north of Salem. oeiween we uregon Electric and South ern Pacific railroads. It is appraised at ou,uuu, ana is assesed at $60,300. or more than $10,000 higher than the appraisal. This farm is appraised at a fraction over $89 an acre, while an estimate of its true value, said to be conservative. is vu an acre, or a cuiierence in valu ation of $62,000. A similar valuation, and then de clared to be very low, is placed on the ao acre rarm on Lablshr which la appraised at $25,200, or $70 an acre. Asiae rrom the home place, most of the town property is appraised at a sugnt advance over the assessed valu ations. But It is declared that the appraisal of the Chicago Store building propeny, wmcn is placed at $26,000, is very low. JIMMY DUNN SERVES YOU RIGHT MEN'S SUITS Open Saturday Until 10 P.
