MANDAMOSWRIT FltED JN GdURT STATE ASKH COUNTY TO PAY $24,039.41' O.V CLAIMS Outcome of This Salt May Affect All of 18 Count le in Tax Refund . : A suit was filed in the circuit court here yesterday by I. II. Van Winkle,' attorney general, which would force Marion county to pay to the Rtate of Oregon $24,0.19.41. Thlsi Is the share the state claims of the total amount of J11 1,000 received by Marion county from the Oregon & . California Jand grant tar refund. This suit is be ing watched with considerable in terest as its outcome may affect 18 counties in the state, which participated in this refund. A tabulation prepared by the attorney general and other state officials shows that the aggregate tax refund under the congression al act is 6.000,000. Of this amount the state eontcndK it is entitled 1o receive $1,349,391. The same tabulation shows that in event the state prevails in the suit 25 of the 36 counties in Oregon would benerit by the decree. Those 25 connties are thore in eastern Oregon which has none of the railroad grant, lands and seven western Oregon counties which contain part of the grant lands and share in the government re fund. Failure of the state to pre .vail In the proceedings would prove beneficial to 11 of the grant land counties. "Since the refund or advance ment to the 18 counties in which the revested iands lie was direct ed to be made by congress." read a statement prepared by the at torney general, "as discussion has arisen as to- the proper construc tion of the law. Officials of the several counties in which such grants are situated have taken the position that the state is not entitled to any part of the refund. "On the other hand, it is direct ly provided .in the congressional enactment that the state is en titled -t receive : such portion of the"" refund representing the amount of state taxes which would have been levied upon the lands granted ta the Oregon & Califor nia railroad i company and revest ed in the government for failure to comply with the terms of the grant, bad such lands remained in private ownership during the years 1916 to 1926, inclusive.

When a deferidAnt of the future faces the judge and hears the usu al question, "Had you been drink ing?" he will not need to reply, if an instrument perfected by Wm. D. McNally, coroner's chemist, comes into general use. A tube of the defendant's breath taken when he was arrested will tell the tale. If the court is hot j certain, he can examine a second tube of the defendant's breath which has been subjected to chem ical analysis. If the second tube shows a rich green, the defendant's potations were considerable: if it is a light green, he didn't have so much, and ii colorless, the judge, according to Dr. McNally's findings, should promptly say "Not guilty."
