Hope of Printing School
Texts in State.
to
Salem. Feb. 7. Advocates of state
printed text books won In the prelimi
nary test of sentiment on this question
In the house this morning when the
adverse report of the committee on
education was voted down and a favor
able minority report substituted.
Representative Bean, who introduced
the bill, led the figrnt for consideration
on Its merits on the floor of the houe
rather than permit It to be killed by
the committee.
- "Ten years ago this state was. 'n
the bands of what I am pleased to
term the state printing octopus" he de
clared. "Since that time the state has
equipped its own printing plant, which
has already more than paid for itself
and fully justified the investment.
"Xow, with this printing plant at our
command ' we continue to send our
money east to the text book octopus
under a contract entered into by the
state text book commission. This con
tract expires July 31 of this year. If
this legislature does not take favorable
action on this proposition, by which the
state -would print Its own text books
and distribute them at cost of printing
plus the cost of distribution this com
mission must enter into another six
year contract with this octopus.
Kansas and fJalifornia, he stated, are
now printing their own text books at a
great saving over the "exorbitant costs"
charged by- the "text book trust,"
amounting in Kansas to a saving of
43 per cent on the books used in its
schools. Oregon, he declared, should not
delay in ridding itself from the tentacles
of this octopus.
Representative Richards, a raember cf
the committee on education, which had
reported that the bill, "do not pass" ex
pressed fear that the passasre of the
bill would only lead the state into the
hands of a "still greater octopus" that
represented the book trust.
"Where will we buy the copyrights
which cover the right to print these text
books?" he demanded, "and how much
will we have to pay for these copy
rights? Nobody seems to know any
thing about this phase of the textbook
question. Shall' we go to the trust from
which we seek to take this work and
buy these copyrights?"
The quality of the home-printed prod
ucts, he insisted, mipht not compare
favorably with the quality of the books
now used and therefore it would not tws
real economy- at all.
The' merits and demerits of the pro
posed measure are expected to be pretty
generously aired when the bill comes up
for third reading.
ManHas Fractured
Skull; Roommate Is
Detained by Police
San Francisco, Feb. 7. William

a small court of the Mint hotel suffering
from a fractured skull. He may die.
Police are holding Jacob Langlor,

who, according to Mrs. Kreiger, did not
have any great .amount of money.
Tuesday night, Schwartz sent a tele
gram to his father, John Schwartz of
804 Kast Eighth street north, request
ing 925 so that he could come home.
This money was forwarded to him Wed
nesday. Schwartz left Portland a short time
ago on a steamer and intended to make
a trip to Honolulu.' He met Legtar in
San Francisco, Leglar, whose home is
at 795 East Ninth street north, left Port

Verdict for $223 Returned
A verdict for J225 was returned in
favor of 'Roy Walters and against W.

Married to a soldier In France, from
.whom she is receiving allotments. Mrs.
Henry Neave was arrested at 077
Halght street Wednesday night on
a charpe of bigamy. Her alleged sec
ond lmband. Walter Ilof-e. a discharged
soldier, was arrested at the same time
on a technical charge. He admitted.'
say the police, that he knew that the
youn? woman had a husband at, the
time he married her. Mrs. Neave is
said to have received an allotment from
her first husband since her second mar
riage. The case came to light when the
mother of the girl, who was Pearl Stan
forth before her first marriage, came
here from Illinois to find why she had
not been receiving; letters from her
daughter. She found the young woman
by accident at the postoffice and the
I two went to the rest room of a depart
ment store. After a short visit the
' daughter excused herself, saying that
she had an appointment with a dentist
and would return shortly. When she
did not return her mother reported to
the women's protective bureau and an
Investigation resulted , in , the arrest.
Mrs. Neave explained that she had
been engaged to her first husband four
years when he was about to leave with
the Ninety-first division from Camp
' Lewis. He asked her to come west and
marry him, which she did. and she has
since then received his allotments regu
! larly and been the beneficiary of his
i insurance. It Is said she may be liable
to prosecution by the government for
accepting the allotments after her sec
ond marriage.
Mrs. Neave and Rose were living at
the home of Rose's parents. A few
days ago, when Inquiries were made
there, his father denied knowledge of
the couple, declaring his name was
Roth, the police declare.
Rose stated that since his discharge
from the spruce production division he
has been working as a special deputy
sheriff on bootlegging cases.
The arrests were made by Mrs. E. R.
Forrest and Mrs. Turner of the women's
protective bureau and Officers Mills and
Burkhart. The case has been set for
hearing at 2 p. m. Tuesday.
Federal authorities believe they have
broken up one of the biggest bootlegging
rings in the state with the return Thurs
day of an Indictment alleging conspiracy
to violate the Reed amendment, against
O. R. Merrill, alias George Thomas;
Thomas G. Patterson, alias T. G. Pet
erson, and a third man. unnamed.
Thomas and Patterson are being de
tained in the county Jail and the au
thorities are seeking "John Doe," sup
posed head of the ring.
These men. It is claimed, drove an
automobile to California and filled it
with liquor and then drove it back to
Medford. whence it was shipped in a
freight car to Corvallls. Agents of the
department of Justice arrested Merrill
at Corvallis and also took charge of the
automobile containing' the liquor. The
tonneau of the car was filled With more
than 100 quarts of liquor, the doors be
ing wired so that they would not open
and reinforced with boards. The liquor
was packed in and covered with blan
kets and some coats and sweaters.
This indictment was included among
17 true bills returned by the grand Jury

Applicants for Insurance Often

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's' Swamp-Root is
' soon realised. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
" prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
in interview of the subject, made the
astonishing statement that one reason
-vwhy bo many applicants for "insurance
are rejected is because kidney trouble is
' so common to the American people, and
' the large majority of those whose appli

. that they have the disease. It is on sale

Caruso Gets Wine

stop singing on the day prohibition goes

Catarrh
of the Stomach
Is Dangerous
"Thoasaads Have It and Doat
Know It," Says Physician.
Frequently Mistakes for Iadl
gestlon Hew to Beeognlze and
Treat.
"Thousands of people suffer more or
less constantly from furred. coated
tongue, bad breath, sour burning stom
ach, frequent vomiting, rumbling in
stomach, bitter eructations, gas, wind
and stomach acidity and call it indiges
tion when in reality their trouble is due
to gastric catarrh of the stomach."
writes a New York physician.
Catarrh of the stomach is dangerous
because the mucous membrane lining of
the stomach is thickened and a coating
of phlegm covers the surface so that the
digestive fluids cannot mix with the food
and digest them. This condition soon
breeds deadly disease in the fermented,
unassimilated food. The blood is pol
luted and carries the infection through
out the body. Gastric ulcers are apt to
form and frequently an ulcer is the first
sign of a deadly cancer.
in catarrh ftf the stomach a good and
safe treatment is to take before meals a
teaspoonful of pure Bisurated Magnesia
in half a glass of hot water, as hot as
you can comfortably drink it. The hot
water washes the mucous from the stom
ach walls and draws the blood to the
stomach while the bisurated magnesia
is an excellent solvent for mucus and in
creases the efficiency of the hot water
treatment. Moreover, the Bisurated Mag
nesia will serve as a powerful but harm
less antacid which will neutralize any
excess hydrochloric acid that may be
In your stomach and sweeten its food
contents. Easy, natural digestion with
out distress of any kind should soon
follow. Bisurated Magnesia is not a lax
ative, is harmless, pleasant and easy to
take and can be obtained from any local
druggist. Don't confuse Bisurated Mag
nesia with other forms of magnesia,
milks, citrates, eta. but get it in the pure
bisurated form (powder or tablets), es
pecially prepared for this purpose. Adv.
