Dr. . 1 Hawkins had planned to make the first r public announcement of the resignation ', to his onerregation Sunday morning. ;Dr, Hawkins will enter the advertlB ' Ing field. He has invented a new ad- vertlsing scheme which he plans-to " exploit, and. is leaving the ministry in order to give the work his undivided i attention. He will organize a stock company In j the near future, and expects to ewtab ' llsh headquarters temporarily In Port ' land, but plans to locfe permanently In 8t Iouls or ChlcaKO in about a year. ' Members of the official board assert that there Is no trouble in the church, t and that the resignation is on account of financial reason only.

As the county has revoked the fran-! chiee covering Its tracks between Port- afternoon, Acconliag to Commissioner Daly the company still -wants to retain its fran clil.se within the city, bu t wants tho giant amended so. that it can remove its tracks from Stark street. If this is done it will probably be iwith the ap proval of all Stark street property owners who have been opposed to th use of the street by the; heavy -lnter-urban cars. " i ' The county revoked itss grant to the railroad company a short! time ago to take effect February 1. As this means the end of passenger traffic between Portland and Uinnton the raliroad com pany has no further use for the street where it picked up practicably all of its passengers, and wants to be re lieved from the obligations of Its fran chise in this regard. . j - i i " Accused Men Now , Freed of dharges Indictments Against Arralanes and .

Olson, E. v. L.tttlef!eld and S. B. Huston. Be sides these the name of "Ben Selling is frequently mentioned, but so fa- as is known he has taken no steps to promote his candidacy nor has he stated he would be a candidate. But the Multnomah delegation hasn't a monopoly on candidates for the position of presiding officer In the next house.

Mr. Olson said he could think of no new legislation that was crying for passage, and he declared if the legislature would pass the necessary appropriation bills to take care of the business of the state and then ad journ and go home the people would be eminently satisfied. . "Steam Boiler" Hot Approved. "1 would like to cut out all ma chine or "steam roller' methods,"' he said. "I expect no fight between the i legislature and the governor, so that j excuse for steam roller tactics Will be removed.v Mr. Littlefield expressed much the same ideas. He says he wants to have I the necessary appropriation bills passed at the earliest opportunity. He said appropriations for improvements or additional state buildings .ought to be in separate bills, so each would stand on its own merits. "It must be shown thev are abso lutely necessary or in my opinion they will never get through," he said. "My vote on all occasions will be for the strictest economy. "If the state will take the lead in cutting down expenditures it will be far reaching. It will induce the coun ties to cut expenses, and will influ ence the cities and the school dis tricts to economize." . , : Counted 17 Fer Hour. .Another precinct .-, has been heard 'from. J. R.

Mr. Smith had contested the .claim made by the Kenton precinct for the record in counting ballots. Mr, Smith said his board averaged 16 ballots to the hour for '10' hours. .Now Mr. Santee says his board averaged 17 to the hou; for 10 hours. He says no attempt was made to set a record, but the work m as pushed along as rapidly as possible- Statements Are Incomplete. Although all ' of the candidates in the recent recall election - have filed their, statements of y campaign ex-! penses, several' of them are incom plete and will have to be filed with vouchers before City Auditor Barbur accepts them. Mayor A'.bee and Com missioner Brewster spent nothing, while ICugfcne K. Smith says that he spent nothing personally, but an or ganization which backed him spent some money. No statement of this amount has yet been filed, however. The candidates and the amount each spent in the campaign follow: " Robert G. Dieck, $263; Dr. - George Parrisb, $1354.95; H. K. Abry, $135.40; W. A- Leet, $29.75; B. E.

Expressed . by " County Officials In - Session Is Portland. ; Scrape beneath the surface of thought of most ofs-the county asses sors now in convention in Portland and one finds they believe in the principle of rewarding the man- who is trying' to inwrove his land. One finda that many - of them . believe that the man who is, holding his land for specula tion should be made to bear a little larger share of taxation while the load is eased a little for the man who is putting forth time, energy and money to make his land productive and a fit place for a home. C. H. jAllen, the assessor of Wallowa county, is one who is making some changes in assessments to encourage land users. "Dand being used for farm ing purposes," he said, "I have cut back from $100 an acre to $80, and made it up by taxing the land that could be tilled, but is held idle for speculation. At the same time, the total assessed value in my county has been increased over three-quarters of a million." Classed aa Tillable. Ji A. Davis, assessor of Wasco county, says he has placed 30,000 acres of land ,on the lists as tillable hereto fore classified as unliable. The only land In Wasco county classed as un tillable Is land that really cannot be tilled. , This has increased the assess ment on the 30,000 acres an average of about $15 an acre, and relieved the users of land to some extent, leaving the total assessment about -the same. "In Wasco there is not much change," he said. "Some of our larg est fruitgrowers are going out of the peach (business. Oh, yes; we can raise the peaches. . But the farmer gets so little. Perhaps 200 acres of peaches have been grubbed up this year. Ap ples are being kept, but little In the way of new setting out is being done. Grapes, while not paying well this year, are considered a good crop, as most of the land in grapes ia not good for either orchard or grain, fn assess ing farm" lands I try to allow for the cost of breaking and disking, but other wise assess uncultivated the same as cultivated, situation and fertility be ing the same." Difference Is Allowed. C. P. Strain, the veteran assessor of Umatilla county, says he has been classifying the land and putting on the Mst as tillable all lands that could be used for farming and grain, untill able being "scab" land, rocky hillsides, and land with such thin soil as to be only fit for grazing. "We do not believe in encoura-ging. the speculator to hold idle good farming lands," said Mr. Strain.. "Th're are lands in Umatilla county that can be cultivated at but little expense in preparation. I make allowaiice for' this cost of preparation and tax both the cultivated and un cultivated lands at the same figure when situated the same. It is worth 11 UUI fX.UV IAJ Ull O-V I ...

Hill, assessor of Malheur county, has been making considerable changes in assessing lands of all kinds.
