Believed to Be Removed.
What Is believed to be the final
obstacle In the way of public owner
ship of the Willamette locks at Ore
gon City was removed yesterday when
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
company made out a deed recognizing
the paramount right of the govern
ment to use of the water for naviga
tion when such use becomes neces
eary.
The deed will be turned over to
Col. McKtnstry, resident engineer of
the war department, early this week
and will then be forwarded to the
secretary of war.
Attorney-General McReynolds dls
approved of a previous deed transfer

to retain absolutely its right to use
the water for power generation. Much
correspondence followed and the rail

If the deed as now prepared Is ac

he submitted a copy of a proposed
constitutional amendment 'to the sec
retary of state. The measure, which
Mr. Fording said would be initiated.
bears th name of David M. Dunne.
It proposes to amend section 1 of ar
ticle IX of the constitution.
The measure provides that no prop
erty, to exceed In value the sum of
$300, shall be exempted from taxa
tion, and that this provision, when
once adopted, shall never be- amended.
except Dy two-thirds vote of all the
electors . who may participate In any
general or special election wherein
change In the system of assessment

It is pointed out that not only
two-thirds majority of those voting

MEDIATORS TO MAKE

Wilson; Naon Intercedes
With New Program.
By Severance Johnson.
(By the International News Service.)
Niagara Falls. Oat, June 20. As a
result of the visit Of Dr. R. S. Kaon to
Washington, the A. B. C. mediators
will make a final effort to obtain peace
in Mexico. Peace depends entirely
upon President Wilson.
The program which Dr. Naon Is said'
to have brought back to his fellow me
diators and on which they will renew
negotiations at a conference Monday,
is as follows:
1 Admission of revolutionist envoys
to the A. B. C. sessions, provided Pres
ident Wilson can use the power of
Villa to compel the Constitutionalist
army to delay their advance on Mex
ico City.
2 Discussion of the flag Insult In

hostilities against Huerta.
S Discussion of the American occu
pation of .Vera Crus to decide what the
Lnlted States ahall do in case media
tion falls.
t Selection of a provisional presi
dent who shall not be an out and out
rebel, but a "neutral constitutionalist.
This question, however, is not to be
taken up until It has been definitely de
cided whether or not the revolutionist
envoys can be brought Into the con
ference peacefully.
Dr. Naon refused to talk of his con
ference with President Wilson, Secre
tary Bryan and representatives of the
Constitutionalist Junta In Washington.
All he would say was:
"I am more hopeful than ever that
mediation will succeed."
