The central tract and seven tracts to the north owned by the Wildwood Serines Land company and the Hoi brook Timber company, comprise 1280 acres and. it is said, may embody all the land wanted by the government in Its final pirrchase. The total assessed val uatlon of this area of 1Z80 acres is $Z9 750. From the assessor's viewpoint this land should have a selling value of $40,000 approximately. The amount spoken of as the purchase price for 500 acres is $50,000. E. C. Mears of the Chamber of Com merce rifle range committee, would make no statement as to the exact location of the tracts approved by the army officers, saying he could not do so until authorized by General Bell. Mr. Mears showed the army officers the tract last summer. Mr. Smith was reluctant to give Information beyond the admission con cerning the central tract. A mortgage of $100,000, it is said, was placed on part of the property of the Wildwood Springs company. which was foreclosed last year. The land Is partly covered with timber. Anti-Petition Bill Knocked in Head Salem, Or., Jan. 25. Bowman's bill No. 7, prohibiting the circulation of initiative, referendum and recall peti tions by hired circulators and provid ing a penalty for violation of the act was Indefinitely postponed by the house this morning upon an adverse report by the committee on Judiciary. The Union Motor Bus Co.. the or ganisation of jitney drivers, may not secure a franchise to operate between the downstown section of the city and Linnton as result of failure of the company to secure a $7500 bond which Commissioners Dieck and Baker and Mayor Albee demand. A. A. Thielke, president of the com pany, says that no bonding company will bond the jitneys for that amount. He is figuring on a plan for a lower bond and will probably place It before the city council tomorrow. This company offers to put on touring cars and operate on 10 and 15 minute schedules during the day with tripper eervice during the rush hours, while Stephen Carver, also seeking a franchise to operate over the same route, offers service with large buses with less frequent trips. Mayor Albee and Commissioners Baker and Dieck say that the fran chise of the Union Motor Bus com pany depends upon the company giv ing the $7500 bond, and if they hold to this ruling the jitney organization will 'be precluded from operating on the jitney run.

Matters under discussion were of pe culiar Interest to the trade, and Judge George T.

WILSON GIVES HIS VIEWS ON PREPAREDNESS (Odo tinned from Pac One.) "Should auld acquaintance bd for got" was the sentiment that permeated the forth annual banquet of the Lane Syne society of Portland held in the ballroom of the Hotel Multnomah, Wednesday night. Taking this line from the Immortal poem as ii lnterro gation. some 190 diners made re sponse in a unanimous "No." And they proceeded to cement old acquaint anceship, strengthen old friendships. and reconstruct iormer times in a feast of memories, retrospection and anecdote. Following an invocation by Rev. T. L. Eliot and the singing of America.'" General Charles F, Beebe. president of the society, in his capacity as toast master, called on a number of long time residents of Portland to recall the old days. Governor James Withy com be spoke of the value to the state of cherishing old memories; Dr. A. a. Morrison, rec tor of Trinity church, told of his ar rival ln Poytland on the steamer Orl flamme ln the 'IP's; Robert Living stone spoke on "Some Oldtlmers I Have Met"; General T. M. Anderson spoke ln a spirit of comradeship; Charles J. Schnabel told a number of stories: B. B. Beekman told how he arrived in Portland at the time of the Henrv Vlllard celebration; Charles It. rodd, second vice president of the o- clety. talked on fellowship, and r rank Dayton, treasurer, thanked the so clety's members for their cooperation. Stereoptlcon slides of early days In Oregon were shown by George H Hlmes. historian of the society, and curator of the Oregon Historical so clety. The evening was brought to a close with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne."

"Any brief service ln the army of the United States withdraws men from civil pursuits Just aa much as the recent service on the border does. ro service except a standing army with professional soldiers prevents that oc casional and frequent withdrawal of men from civil pursuits. It may be Inevitable, but what you are propos ing does not meet the difficulty which you condemn. These things are of the utmost intricacy and difficulty and are not to be settled ex-cathedra. And yet, notwithstanding the fact that 1 think you have gone too far I will say for you that, of course, this will have my most serious consideration. It Is receiving consideration ln the country and we in Washington feel the great tides of opinion in tho United States. All Desire to Do Wise Thing.

Orton. to repeal the newspaper graft in all the state, but which has been amended to apply only to Multnomah county. - Senator Olson called attention to I the probable unconstitutionality of the bill aa amended and moved to have the bill referred to the Judiciary com mittee for consideration. This was done. Senator Farrell asked the committee to make Its report today, pointing out I that if the extravagance of publica tion of the tax list is to be prevented this year the bill must be passed be fore February 1. A feeling exists among a number of senators that the bill should apply to all the state anyway. "If It Is good for Multnomah county. It Is good tor the rest of the state." said oner senator. Defending the graft of newspaper advertising of delinquent tax lists, the Oregonian contends editorially that the . proposal to abolish such advertising in Multnomah county, while retaining it in the rest of the state, would be unconstitutional. To support this con tention, the Oregonian cites the pro vision of the Oregon constitution pro hibiting "special or local laws" for the assessment or collection of taxes. AxfTunant Xs Contradicted. It Is a specious argument, evidently Intended to influence the legislators at Salem. It Is contradicted by re peated . decisions. . of . tho Oregon su preme court. , That court has held that the terms i - "local" and "special" laws, as used " In the constitution, are thA nam in j meaning and that a "special" law is , synonymous with a "private law," or 4 law affectlnS only certain persons.
