Salem, Or., March 10. While the
1915 lesisla ture eeohomizpdJn expendi
tures by refusing to make an appro
priation for irrigation development or
to (broaden out in state aid lor per
manent road construction, its expendi
tures along other lines exceed thoee'of
the extravagant 1913 session, accord
lngf to figures Just compiled by the
secretary of state, which show the to
tal (appropriations of the late session.
ijhese- figures show that the total
appropriations of - the 1915 legislature,
including the standing appropriations
wnlcb were approved, amount to $6,
310648.67. These are for the 1916
191S biennium. For the 1913-1914 bi
ennium the total appropriation'!
amounted to J6, 691,962. OS, which is
i38!lf31C.41 more than the appropria
tions for the. current biennium.' The
1913 appropriations, however. Included
Bucih items as. 1 4 50.000 for the Turaalo
irt.'atlon project, $175,000 for the Pah
aniVaciti.c fair, $50,000 for the tes
chuttV .river power survey, . and $15,
00 for the Celilo falls power inves
tigation. These four items, for which
comparative appropriations were not
made by the 1915 session, amount to
$;J 0,000. deducting this amount from
the! 1913 appropriations gives a fair
comparison of the general run of ap
propriations for the two sessions, and
shows that the 1915 session was a fair
companion for the 1918 session.
1 The total net amount appropriated
foyi the legislative assembly of J 913
for the 1913-1914 period was $4,610,-

FIND BODY OF OLD
FROM THE DALLES
Samuel D, Gibbons, Probably
Mentally Weak, Had Fallen
Over Cliff,
(-Special to The Journal.)
The Dalles, Or., March 10. In a badly
decomposed condition, the body of
Samuel D. Gibbons, who disappeared
from this city December 4, was found
yesterday by Harold Marsh while
he was hunting at the bottom of a
rocky cliff, about .three miles west of
here.
From all appearances the man had
fallen from the top of the cliff, which
is about 200 feet high.
Mr. Gibbons, who was 78 years of
age, was brought to this city December
4 by his niece, Mrs. Sarah Gamber of
Flanagan. Mr. Gibbons appeared to
be rather feeble-minded, and was taken
to The Dalles hospital for treatment.
While the nurse was preparing his
room he was left alone for a few min
utes. When the nurse returned he was
not to .be found. The officers were
notified and a thorough search of the
city by them was fruitless. It was
believed that he had either left the
city or was drowned.
Nothing more was heard of him until
the body was found by young
Marsh. Mick Thornton, a rancher who
lives near Chenowith creek wiere the
remains were found, said that he re
membered seeing the man in December.
Gibbons, he said, was attempting to
bu1td a: fire in the creek valley.
The body was brought to this city
yesterday afternoon for interment.

CHINESE
MERCHANTS
START BOYCOTT UPON
;e
Lead Taken in San Francisco
Will Be Followed by Port
land Chinese.
San Francisco, March 10. Announc
ing that the Chinese merchants of San
Francisco have Instituted a boycott
against Japanese goods and declaring
that Japanese merchants have been
threatened, the Japanese Association
of America today demanded police pro
tection for its members.
The trouble grew out of the Inter
national complications between Japan
and China which were recently brought
to a crisis when Japan presented the
Peking government with what virtually
amounted to- an ultimatum and made
a number of specific demands.
Chief of Police White was told to
day that various Chinese commercial
organizations had fostered the boycott
and had threatened with violence- cer
tain of their countrymen who refused
to join the boycott.
Influential Portland Chinese assert
ed today that t'neir countrymen would
follow the lead of Chinese merchants
in San Francisco in boycotting Japan
ese goods.
'If China accedes to Japan's de
mands she might a3 well turn over the
whole coantry," said a Portland Chi
nese this morning. "We Chinese in
Ariierica hall make our protest by a
commercial boycott and such moral
influence as we are able to bring to
bear. Talk or physical violence, Show
ever, is foolish."
Local Chinese have formed no as
sociation or organization with a Japan
ese commercial boycott as its purpose
but it is generally understood and
agreed that they terminate commercial
relations with the Japanese.
Japan's demands upon China are 21
in number and are eaid by Chinese to
be so far-reaching in effect, if acceded
to, as to mean absorption of the
Flowery Republic by Japan and war
between tho two countries.
Among Japan's requests are that
China transfer all rights formerly held
by Germany in Shantung to the Jap
anese government; that Japanese be
placed! in high positions as advisers in
the administrative, finance and mili
tary departments of the Chinese gov
ernment; that no section of China's
coast be leased or ceded to any other
power but Japan,; and that Japan have
the right to establish arsenals in any
part of China,

Fire Pump on Ferry
Probably Impossible
Commissioners Axe Told GoTernment
Would Require Extra Crew If Boat
at St- Johns Xs Used.
The probability of a fire pump on
the St. Johns ferry went glimmering
this morning, when Superintendent of
Ferries Welch told the county commis
sioners that the United States steam
boat inspectors would require an extra
crew on the boat if it is used for other
than ferry purposes.
E. L. Thompson, Mayor A. W. Vin
cent of St. Johns, Peter Edlefson of the
St. Johns water works, and a large del
egation of owners of extensive factory
and warehouse properties; near the
ferry were present to present argu
ments. - Until Welch appeared there
seemed a possibility of an agreement.
At the close of the meeting it was de
cided that an appeal will be taken to
the inspectors to permit the' installa
tion of the pump. s - ; s

WITH RUSH AT GOOD
Campaign for Special Elec
tion on Bond Issue Plan Is
Opened With a Vim,
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
By Xoon Several Hundred Xamei Had
Been Obtained; to Distribute Peti
tions In County.
The campaign for signatures to a
petition to the board of county com
missioners to call a special election
early in April for the purpose of vot
ing on a serial bond issue of J 1,2 50,000
for the purpose of paving the main
traveled roads of the county, opened
with a rush this morning.
Headquarters were opened on the
ground floor of the Yeon building.
Fifth and Alder streets, for the pur
pose of receiving signatures and dis
pensing Information. E. E. Coovert is
In charge of the headquarters.
That there is a great interest in the
campaign is indicated by the number
of voters that called at headquarters j
during the forenoon. By noon sev-,
eiai nunureu signatures nau neen re-
I corded. There was also given out 100
or more copies of the petition which
will be distributed over the county. and
city at various places in order to fa
cilitate matters. These will be placed
at department stores, club rooms and
public buildings.
The campaign is being conducted by
the executive committee appointed by
the board of governors of the Port
land Commercial club yesterday as fol
lows: John B. Yeon, chairman, J. C.
Ainsworth, Julius Jj. Meier, E. E. Coov
ert, Frank B. Riley, W. L. Boise. Phil
Metschan Jr., George I. Baker, and
A. S. Benson.
Word to the Women.
The petition will be kept in circula
tion up to noon next Monday, when all
copies will be called in and the work
! of checking up begun. By this time
it is expected to have several . thou
sand signatures, although the legal
requirement is only 2500.
As a matter of convenience to wo
men voters, it is suggested by the ex
ecutive committee that they come to
the headquarters in the Yeon building
to sign the petition.
In signing the petition voters are
required to give their registered ad
dress and the number of their Voting
precinct. It would eliminate much
! trouble if signers would look up In ad
vance the number of their precinct.
In connection with the petition it
is interesting to recall that the Port
land Commercial club yesterday re
laxed its rule against the circulation

Custom Is Broken.
It was the breaking of a long estab
lished custom, but in view of the
move'ment being one looking to com-1
munity betterment, there was no ob-
jection raised. ' '
One of the questions often asked by
signers is "How much Is the bond is-J
sue going to cost the taxpayers?" (
Based on the present assessed valua- ,
tion of the county, the cost will be
according to a computation made by
Roadmaster Yeon 66 cents per year on
every $1000 assessment, or $5.60 for .
the entire bonded period of 10 years. i
By using serial bonds there will
only be the interest to pay on the first
five years. Beginning the fifth year,
the bonds will be taken up at the rate
of $15,000 each year. At the end of
14 years from the date of the bonds
they will all have been redeemed. '
