The, Montesano Chamber ot Com

opposed to changing the name of
the Oregon Trail to Pioneer Way,
as snggentetl by United States Sen

1 94 per cent 2 per cent, 2 per
cent, 3 per cent, 3 per cent. 4
per cent,; 4 per cent, 5 per, cent,
5 percent, 6 per cent. .The rate
of 6 per cent applies to all. taxable
Income in excess of $12,000. ' . :
"If the taxable income, lor ex
ample, is $450, the tax -would be
$4.50.-; If the taxable- income is

State Treasurer Might Swing
and Vote Withh Kozer on
Frank Sever, deputy state treas
urer, will go to Portland today to
confer with State Treasurer O. P,
Hoff at the hospital relative to
the ' deadlock that exists in the
state board of control over the
selection of a Bite for the state
training school for boys.
- Governor Pierce favors a' site of
444 acres east of the state peni
tentiary and Secretary of State
Kozer favors a site on the Silver-
ton; road about eight and a half
miles from Salem. They are dead
locked since there is no third vote
on the board because of Hoff's ill
ness However, Mr. Hoff stated
in Portland yesterday that he fa
vors the Eldridge farm north of
Salem, which further complicates
matters.
Should Mr. Hoff swing from his
own choice it is understood he
is more likely to go with Kozer
than with Pierce for the reason
that : Hoff objects to a site that
will .necessitate the boys passing
the state penitentiary. This was
fine of the objections made by Ko
zer to the site favored by Pierce

LIFE'S TIDE
War Time President Lives
Through Another Day But
Steadily Loses Grip i n
Final Battle i 1
REFUSES NOURISHMENT
THROUGHOUT 36 HOURS
Calls for Mrs. Wilson and
Dr. Grayson Hardly
Able to Speak
(By Tba Associated Presf)
'WASHINGTON. Feb. 2. An
other day's battle with death
found former1 President Wilson
still, clinging tenaciously to life-
but steadily losing his grip.
As each moment passed, the
grim destroyer moved a little
nearer; the faint spark of lifje
ilickered and fluttered, burning
lower after every futile gust
which blew to extinguish it.
Resigned to the ineyitable and
quite ready, Mr. Wilson waited
patiently and fought and struggled
throiiph the early hours between
last midnight and today's dawn
the hours when life reaches its
low ebb how he did it was a
marvel - to his physicians. They
feared his soul would float out on
the great ilde before today's day
light. -
Sleeps Lightly v
But sleeping lightly, breathing
steadily .and . almost normally, ; Mr.
Wilson weathered the dangerous
hours and the light of a' new
blight February day streaming in
through the windows of his bed
Chamber found the stricken war
president still fighting. '
When he awoke from a fiifui
slumber an attempt was made t;
have him take, some light liquid
nourishment. The , dying , man
of disapproval and when pressed.
breathed an almost inaudible
"No." '
Likewise he rejected an attempt
to have him take a few sips of
water. Finally he indicated he
wanted an old negro servant to
rearrange his pillows and to be
eased about in his bed. Apparent
ly more comfortable he indicated
he wanted his wife. Mrs. Wilson,
coming to the bedside, took the
sufferer's hand in her's and held
it silently until he , drifted off
into a rot iter snatch of sleep.
AskH for Graysott
When Mr. Wilson roused again
he thought of another friend and
breathed faintly ' Where's Gray
son?" The friend and physician who
was now conducting the last and
losing round of a battle with
death, which actually began be
fore Woodrow Wilson's first
term in the White House was
ended, came to the bedside. Thai
seemed to satisfy the former
president and he lapsed, into quiet
again.
Apparently the sick man's first
thought on wakening was to satis
fy himself that he bad near hitn
the only three persons whose
presence he wants to feel in his
last moments.
Except for the broken, fast-
passing figure on the bed, the
room hardly looked like a cham
ber of death. Cheerful chintzes
draped the windows which look
to the south, toward the Potamac
and an indigo ridge of Virginia
hills where he used to play. , On
the walls are some pictures, that
of .the first Mrs. Wilson, one of
them. Photographs of his grand
children look down upon him.
Jn a corner stands a desk, a
personal one, devoted wholly to
personal affairs. Upon it person
al papers and books are arranged
with the orderly precision which
marked his nature. Everything
lies just as he left it when Dr.
Grayson ordered him to bed.
Always on Watch
Someone was always on watch
in the sick chamber. Either Mrs.
-Wilson .or Dr. Grayson was there.
Two white capped nurses, the
same who' attended the former
president during the critical days
of his illness in the White House,
moved noiselessly about with th
professional air of efficiently per
forming their' ministrations.
Downstairs a few close rela
tives waited and went about with
conversations. In subdued tones.
Telegrams : and letters poured in
by the hundreds and were listed
and- Acknowledged- by volunteer
secretaries from among lbe family
or friends. Calling cards by the
dozen.: many hearing , names . of
national note, .were silently left at
the door in person by those who

Teaoot Dome Scandal Too
Deep, for Words Says Dill
CLEVELAND, p. Feb. 2. (By
the Associated Press) The Tea
pot Dome scandal is "so big .that
we can hardly discuss it in words'
and it is difficult to for tell what
other inquiry .will be divulged,
Senator C, Cr Dill of Washington,
a member of the senatorial com
mittee probing oil leases declared
at the,, closing sessipnTOf,; the wo
men's school .of Democracy today.
"We have - been trying ; to i nn-

(Senator Dill said la reference : to

We mussave these oil -lands and

Referring to testimony before
the committee that William G.
McAdoo had been in the employ of
oil concerns, Mr. Dill declared
"that there Is a vast difference
between accepting. a case as law
yer and selling your nation's re
sources while serving as a public
official.",
Attacking the Republican party
directly, Mr. Dill characterized
the last three years as "a period
of special privileges never equal
ed." .The same, period, he- said,
was marked by a number of "acan.
dals," any one of which was "big
enough to discredit the adminis
