"I don't like to meet them In the dark." "Well.- too Dayton augested.

Doc Dayton con tinued, "that If you mix Norwegian rata .and New Orleane molaseea In. the proper proportions you'll get Jamaica rum." "I consider that a libel." Mr. Oup stated deliberately. "But let it pass," he added sorrowfully, "we are now a dry nation and It does not matter.' "We can raise tip top molasses up In Morrow county," the Judge Interrupted, reflectively, "but our rats're so fed up en rye I doubt-If i could use 'em." I dont see as thafd make any dif- ferenca." Doe Dayton mused, "unless lt d alve you a sort of blended goods. Tm afraid U"d be klnda hard to handle." T. Paer grinned. "If you got In too much rat you'd ret hootch. "It IS useless to discuss it." Mr. Oup resumed, "besides." he added. "It would be too difficult to catch the raU In auf flclent numbers." "What's that old rhyme about the Pled Pi per T" Banfleld asked thought fully. "I seem to remember something about that but the words've skipped me." "I don't recall, It." Mr. Oup answered after a moment's thought, "though the nam does seem familiar." nHThmi-B all this conversation about rata for anywayT" T. Paer asked curi ously. "Why not talk politics?" "That la a pleasant subject," Mr. Gup greed, "but I feel that something should be done about the rats. "Well," T. Paer said, "did you see that Y. M. C. A. bird that caught soma "nd painted 'era so they loomed up like a ball of fire In the dark?" "Horrible!" Mr. Oup exclaimed. "Think of meeting a rat all lit up like that in a dark basement.' "Good Lord!" the Judge shuddered. "What'd a man think he bad In a case like that?" "It wouldn't bother me." T. Paer boasted, "not these times anyway.' "Tou are to be congratulated," Mr, Gun said politely, "but It would be a great shock to some of us. il PEACE WAR IS DECLARED AT END Leaders of the Euey Sins and Hop Sing- tongs are ready to sign a perman ent peace pact, members of the Chinese peace society told Stanley Myers, dis trict attorney, - in a conference this morning. The two tonga have been mur dering back and forth for several months. Mo Chong Way, chairman of the Chi nese Peace society, and Leonr . Jew Hing, vice chairman, with W. L. Sun, Interpreter, gave Myers the following telegram, received from the peace soci ety of San Francisco, where the tons war l as Also been going on : November 27? At this day 2 o'clock "But," T. Paer insisted, "if you painted afternoon, the Hop Sing and Suey Sing enough of 'em up they'd seem natural after while, wouldn't they It would be a cruel and unusual pun lshmenL" Mr. Guo stated Judicially.' "I am of the opinion it would be in viola tion of the corrupt practices act." "Who would it be cruel tor T- Paer qulssed, "to the rats or the fellah In the biMmentr "To both." Mr. Gun decided, "and therefore doubly to be shunned." "I've eot a bunch It'd chase the rats out " thouch." T. Paer Insisted. " 'Nd that's what you're after, ain't it?" "It might." Mr. Gup conceded, "but few of us could venture into a base ment without danger of shattered nervea." "Oh. that could be fixed," T. Paer argued. "A fellah could keep out of the basement after dark.' "That is not feasible." Mr. Gup told him. "No rood host could do that' -fiend the company down then," T. pi- urrestd : "that'd fix it" "And spoil their visit?" Mr. Gup asked accusingly. "Few men could oo mat in times 1IV these.' -Well then." T. Paer said thoughtfully. "I guess we'll have to let the rata hang round a spell. "It looks that way," Mr. uup agreea. "Diamond studded crocodiles and pink his attitude. tongs' troubles all are settled. Please notify the Seattle Peace association. T05G HEADS NOTIFIED Immediately on receipt of this tele gram, the peace society, which has been quiet here because of fear of tong gun men, got in touch by long distance tele phone with Gong Wo, president of the Suey Sings, now in hiding in San Fran- Cisco, and Sue Kee Lan, president of the Hop Sings, hiding in The Dalles, and told them what had happened. Both tong leaders said they were willing and anxious for the return of peace and declared they would come to Portland immediately. They asked. however, that the peace society request the district attorney to suspend indict menta against several Chinese who are implicated in tong murders and who are in hiding. 50THISG DOIXG, SATS MYERS "Any Chinese against whom there is an indictment had better not show his head if he doesn't want to go to jail," was District Attorney Myers' answer to the petition. The peace society officers agreed that he was right, that the state laws must be enforced, and they promised that the tong leaders would return in spite of a conference will Tm held with Myers for the purpose of signing the peace pact. At that time Myers will state the program of Tola office. TOJfGS JUTST CEASE "The tong organisations must be done away with," Myers told the peace society officials. "There must be no more torn; headquarters and tong com petition in Portland. The mayor, the chief of police and the sheriff have all agreed with me on a general policy for the future. If another war breaks' out. we wiQ begin the deportation of Chi nese. Also every barred door In Chi' natown will be battered down and kept batered down." Myers warned tong members last week, through their attorneys, that he would begin a campaign for their de portation unless the tong war came to an immediate end. This probably hast ened the peace move. Sue Kee Lan of the Hop Sings is under indictment as an accessory after the fact in one of the murders and this may cause him to hesitate In returning to Portland, but inasmuch as there is no evidence of his takine actual part in the crime he probably will be able to return without fear of prosecution. lenhanU are bad enougn, nut nery ,.t Oh! My Lord!" he shuddered. "Gentlemen, good day." As soon as the leaders reach Portland Alleged Woman Forger on Trial Jseatue, iNov. z. lu. r.) The cru cial moment in the trial of Mrs. Do lores M. jonnson, alleged forger, was passed with temporary defense victory when Attorney Brandt, state witness. failed yesterday afternoon to identify the defendant as the woman who ap peared at his office April 16 and signed tne name or Kate Manoney to a power of attorney that is declared by the state to be false.

The greatest ad vance was shown in Liberty first 4s which sold $1 higher at 97. Victory 4s again touched par. DIVERSE CURRENTS THREATEN TO SI SESSION SPECIAL Out of the mass of legislative sugges tions and counter-suggestions which have swarmed in the wake of the special i sion announcement, three or four, more insistent than the rest, are beginning to focus the thought of members so far aa 1925 exposition- legislation is concerned. First comes the thought that, the oen-n tral question, as to the exposition, ta whether a general and uniform tax meas ure shall be submitted to the people for their approval or rejection. . The "xone tax plan suggested by Gallagher of Mal heur and the "local option" or "seces sion" suggestion of Bennett of Coos are being passed by as unconstitutional. FOB "STATE FAIB" Second, and following- the thought that the tax, if voted, must be a general and uniform levy over the state at large. comes the contention that the fair should be. if at all, a "state fair," promoted, racnaged and conducted by officials se lected by legislative authority, direct or indirect. Third, comes the suggestion that the site should be selected by the legislature, and so selected that the money spent In improving it would bring -some returns back from the future utilization of the site itself, and this leads to the thought of permanent harbor improvement. LEFT TO ELECTORATE Going back to the first point, legis lators generally Insist that the tax bill submitted to the electorate must of necessity conform to the requirements of the constitution If it is' to be effec tive. It must "be uniform on the same class of subject within the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax" which would be the state at large. And. further, it must bet such a statute as would comply with" the provision that "all taxes shall be levied and collected under general laws operating uniformly throughout the state." This would pre vent the enactment of s "sone" law. or a statute which would give to any county of the state an option or "seced ing" from the payment of its share of the general tax. So th question -the legislature -will finally come back to face Chough It may talk a. lot 'shoot other plans tor political and expedient reasons win akin down to the question of drafUnr and submitting a general tax measure to raise $3,000,000 of money over the state as a whole. And certain conservative snembers of the legislature who have discussed the subject, see objections to the consider ation of even, temporary income tax leg islation at the special session. The "state fair Idea and strange as it may seem "at first glance the "harbor development" suggestion, both drift In with up state members. They argue that If the state as a whole Is to be charged with the financing burden of the exposition, then the state as a whole should have direct representation In the promotion, management and conduct of the big show. And more than that, they point out that the site ought to be se lected with the thought of the highest salvage value In mind, continuing bene fits to tnemaervee considered. LURE FOE TCF8TATE TOTEM These people say that the upstate voters would be more apt to swing In line behind the exposition If the money spent In preparing the exposition site for use would be so expended that the site would constitute a segment of the Portland harbor for the ultimate benefit and promotion of water commerce In which the producers of the whole state would share, than If it would lapse Into us as a Portland park after the fair was finished and gone. From these glimpses Into the legis lative mind, it may well be raessed that tne special session will be no pink tea at I air. It la more liable to be a two ringed circus with continuous perform ances nignt and day, surrounded by side anows and wild men staked out all around the big top. Highway control legislation Is going t,o be no simple matter, as the committee appointed by Governor Olcott to gather legislative data is finding out. There is going to be a lot of travel and protest neiore any law governing trucks and lit neys is framed and passed. There is go ing, to oe tots or talk, and opposition, be fore any fair tax bill is whipped Into final form and submitted to the people for approval or rejection. There is eotn to be lots of politics and. probably, lota or underground bitterness enrendered. As one legislator insists "there's going to be lots of hell spilled up there" but he comes from east of the mountains whem they talk that way and he may be ri-ht at mat Religion and Musio : Make Up Program At fiotary Luncheon The conception of gray bearded Pil grim Fathers was considerably disar ranged when, at the Rotary club ranch- eon, la the Benson hotel today.

Mr. Quack. T?AT with the sood living Farmer Brown's boy had provided for them In the tond of Faddy the Beaver were Mr. and Mrs. Quack, tha Mallard Ducks, and- their six big children. The hunter had not returned after Farmer Brown's Boy drov Mm away and there had been little to worry them. To be sure Hooty tha Owl had tried every nlrht to catch one of those young Mallards, ' but the Quarks knew Hoot and hta ways and despite hla noiseless wings, Hooty always had to to elsewhere for hla dinner. Beddy Fox and Old Man Coyote spent much of their time hidlsx clese to the water, hoping that one of Ihoea Durka would forget and come ashore. But they naver did. At least they never did when Beddy and Old Man Coyote were about Then came a day when Mr. and Mrs. Quack became uneasy. All day this un easiness grew. It was not fear. No, It was not fear. They swam about, every now and then stretching their wings and Tapping them a few tlmea Now and then they would sit quietly with beads held high looking to the North. ' Paddy tha Beaver saw and under stood. "I shall be sorry to have you go," said ha to Mrs Quack, as she awam near him. "Don't you think you can stay a little longer?" "How did you know we are going?" asked Mrs. Quack qukkly. "I am sure we haven't said a word about It" Paddy grinned knowingly. "Tell me, Mrs. Quack, why do you think you must rot It Is no colder, today than It ; wsa yeaterday." said he. . "True enough," replied Mrs. Quack. "put Just the same this must be our last day here. Tomorrow morning we must be on our way to the Sunny South. I fear we may have stayed here too long as it Is." An anxious look came Into her eyea "But you haven t told me why you - feel so." persiated Paddy.

"1 don't know Just why I feel so. but I know that It Is time for us to be mov ing." replied Mrs. Quack. "Mr. Quack knows it. too. We knew It the very first thing this morning. Cold weather Is coming and will be here very soon. We must be well on our way ,before It can catch ua We shall start early to morrow morning." That afternoon Farmer Brown's Boy visited the pond and left some corn as usual. "Eat all you can find," said Mrs. Quack In a low voice to the young Quacks. "Tomorrow morning we must leave and there Is no knowing when we will have another such feast" "I don't see any sense in leaving place where we have plenty to eat and nothing to fear." mumbled the greediest young Quack. "We haven't been so com fortable since we left ous home In the Far North. "I want to stay." "A Duck who does only what he wants to do' does nothing very long," retorted Mrs. Quack sharply. !Those who think only of their stomachs sel dom live long. To be ruled by appetite is to be a slave to a bad master. When you are older you will be wiser. We start for the Sunny South at daybreak tomorrow." Jolly, round Mr. Sun had just kicked off his rosy blankets for his daily climb up In the blue, blue sky. when Mr. Quack gave a signal and, together all the family, including the greediest one. rose In the air snd, with Mr. Quack in the lead, circled above the pond once. Goodby !" they quacked to Paddy the Beaver : then with heads and necks Stretched full length and swiftly beat ing wings disappeared above the trees headed toward the distant Sunny South. Paddy watched them out of sight. "It will be lonesome here without them and I wonder If we will ever see any of them again." said he to Lightfoot the Deer, who had come to the pond for a drtnk.
