Yesterday was taken up with a discussion of the public library situation in Hood River city and valley at the meeting of the J taxpayers to consider the approprfa- tions for the county for the ensuing year. The library at present Is in charge of Miss Delia Northy. with two assistants. A large number of the taxpayers favored the cutting down of the force to two persons, and the re duction of Miss Northy's salary from $90 per month to $75. Considerable opposition was aroused to the spend Ing of $900 for books this year. The tax levy for library purposes for the county last year was a little over two- tenths of 1 mill, and an additional levy of 2 mills was made for the city. Several librarians in the east have filed applications for the position at Hood River.

The county commissioners yesterday authorized him' to tear off the first interest stubs, as the bid included ac crued Interest and the purchasers do not get the benefit of the first semi annual Interest. By this authorization the treasurer is saved much bookkeep ing, as no record Is made of the non payment of this interest. OBJECT TO PRO - RATING PLAN Clarke County People May Enjoin Commissioners' Arrangement. Vancouver, Wasn., Dec. 31. That an injunction suit! may be filed to pre vent the 1 board of county commis sioners of Clarke county from enter ing into an agreement with the Mult nomah county; board relative to the distribution of the money received on tolls across the new interstate bridge, was the information given out this morning by Allison Burn ham. follow ing a talk with County Commissioner Rawson. . At the meeting In Portland yester day it was practically decided that Clarke county' should receive two sevenths and Multnomah county five sevenths of the tolls. "This was con-- trary to the original . understanding that Clarke county was to receive 40 per cent of the tolls, having fur nished that per cent of the amount re quired to build the bridge proper,' raid Mr. Burnham. "The fact that Multnomah county is putting up a much larger amount of money does not necessarily mean that it should I receive more than their pro 'rata share of the cost or the bridge," he con tinued. "and a large amount of the money appropriated by Multnomah county Is being used in the construc tion of a county road to the bridge and they should not be entitled to exact tolls on that." Edlefsens wish you a happy 1915. Ad LOVING CUP HIGHLY PRIZED BY SHERIFF Gift made by department employes to T. M. Word.

PAGE IS QUICK TO CORRECT A BRITISH ERROR (Continued From Page One.) eign office ' expected to discuss the protest with American Ambassador Page. Most Americans in England were much exasperated at the evident at tempt in certain pfficial quarters to represent the note as a "political dodge." British Press Agent "Peeved." It was plain that the official war information bureau was trying to make out a case against the Washington ad ministration for giving publicity to its communication before Its actual presentation to the British foreign office. This presentation, the bureau as serted, did not occur until Wednesday. For this statement. Ambassador Page promptly forced a retraction from the foreign office. As soon as It was learned that the note was to be sent. It was stated at the embassy, the for eign office was notified. A summary of the communication and then the protest Itself followed. Ambassador Besents Imputation. Diplomatic usages were strictly ob served, it was stated, and the ambas sador was quick to resent the imputa tion to the contrary. It was not expected that the British answer would be forthcoming for sev eral days. In connection with the American protest, it was understood the cabinet would consider the attitude of other neutral nations, especially Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The hope was expressed that some way would be found of inducing these Scandinavian countries to agree to prevent the transshipment of goods from America to Germany and Austria-Hungary. , If this could be done it was said a solution of the pending controversy would be easy. Friendliness Emphasized. American. Ambassador Page had a long conference this afternoon with Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey concerning the "Washington protest against England's treatment of Amer ican commerce on the high seas. It was understood that Page ex plained the American position and em phasized that the note was intended in the friedliest spirit and in the hope of an improvement in condi tions which might develop seriously if ignored. No further statement was issued ex cept that negotiations which had been begun probably would continue for some time. Humorist's Brother Fatally hart. Kentland, Ind., Dec. 31.

He issued the following statement this morning: The Indications are that I will be elected speaker. My chances have steadily improved since the state at large has been apprised of the efforts of the Portland coterie of politicians to organize the house. The country is thoroughly aroused and alarmed at the disproportionate interest which E. B. Piper, editor of the Oreeonian. and I. N. Day. and a few of their faithful cohorts are showing in the contest for the speakership and the organization or Dotn Drancnes or tne legislature. People Are Distrustful. The people are especially distrustful of some of their schemes which they are urging under the guise of econ omy, it is my intention shortly to ex plain to the people, in a series of pub lic meetings, the plans and purposes of these men and their measures. Although I have been excluded from the columns of the Oregonian, I h.m glad to say that the country press, with scarcely an exception throughout the whole state. Is calling attention to the efforts of these few men to capture the legislature for their own purposes. The proposal of the Oregonian to in crease Multnomah's representation in 1 the legislature from 17 to 30, or one third of the whole membership, cre ated anxiety and dismay throughout the state. I notice that the Oregonian. in a recent issue, has beeh compelled to back water on this outrageous prop osition, so gTeat was the protest against it. Ptrst Step In Program. ' The effort of the Oregonian to elect Mr. Selling speaker is simply the first step in a well defined pro- What the New Year Will Bring K. c. Bowers. Mgr. JCram to again fasten upon the state boss rule, with all Its evil conse quences with which the people were so long afflicted. As to Mr. Selling, many people think well of him, but they have rne to realize that -If elected he will not be In that independent position neces sary to give the people- the best serv ice.
