Hood Library an Issue.
Hood River, Or.. Dec. 31. 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.

for inspection by the commission at
that time.
The commission yesterday took up
the proposition ' of securing right-of-
way from the j Union Meat company
and the P. R., L. & P. company, the
only portions not under option. Chair
man Rufus C. Holman named J. Fred
Larson, District Attorney Evans and

Bonds Are Turned Orer.
Treasurer Lewis this morning deliv
ered to Morris Brothers, of Portland,
and the Harris Trust & Sayings bank,
of Chicago, the $250,000 bonds pur
chased, by them at a premium of $3375
and received a1 check for the face of
the bonds with the premium added.
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."

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.

EATON LAUNCHES HIS
FIGHT HERE AGAINST
SELLING FOR SPEAKER
(Continued From Page One.)
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. It Is generally recognized that he
is the Oregoniau's candidate, that the
Oregonian forced his selection first on
the Multnomah delegation, and by the
same process of faloe claims and in
timidation is attempting to force bis
selection upon the house.
I am not opposed to Mr. Selling
personally, but I am opposed to the
scheme of the Oregonian and two or
three of Its henchmen organizing the
legislature In advance, parcelling out
the committees, and having the legis
lative business of the state transacted
before the legislature convenes.
Effort,! Besented.
The outside members, too, are be
ginning to understand the situation.
1 believed all along that the members
were too sturdy a lot of men to accept
the Oregonian's program without a
protest. I am glad to announce that
I was fully justified in that opinion,
for the pretests of the press and peo
ple at large and the members them
selves have reached me in an ava
lanche. The people outside ate not un
friendly to Portland; they are proud
of their metropolis and willing to fcerve
her In any way in their power. They
do, however, highly resent the effort
of a small coterie to control and dic
tate the affairs of the whole state by
assuming to act in the name of Portland.
