Hoquiam, Wash., Sept. 21.
Potatoes are growng on vines
iu the garden of Harry Van
Warmer here. Mr. Van Warmer
says he planted his crop in the
usual way. He was startled by
the size of the plants and still
more startled when tubers be

FOR DALLAS ill
Dallas, Or., Sept. 21. A nura
ber of needed improvements are
being made at the Dallas mill
of the Willamette Valley Lumber
company, chief among them being
the building of a new dry kiln.
Work on the kiln was aunaii
Monday and about three months'
time will be required to complete
It. This new addition will add to
the drying capacity of the mill
about 25 per cent. The new kiln
makes the fifth that will be in
operation at the mill, each with a
capacity of about 15,000 feet of
lumber per day.
Lack of storage room for dry
lumber has alo been a consider
able handicap to the mill's pro
duction and to offset this a new
storage Bhed is now being con
structed which will have a capac
ity of 100,000 feet of dry lumber
A new conveyor system in the
planing mill has also been decided
upon and work has been started
This will be used in conveying the
waste fuel, the old system having
. been found inadequate for present
day needs. It is the intention of
the management to lay new planks
over the entire mill yard as soon
as the inclement weather sets in
Time to Face the Facts
"So much has been said against
tha use of patent medicines that
I have had a strong prejudice
against them. But after four years
doctoring with six different doc
tors, without results, for acute in
digestion, gastritis, constipation,
appendicitis and other ailments, I
was said to possess, I was en
couraged to try Mayr's Wonder
ful Remedy, seeing what it had
luua far. a .friend similarly af
flicted. I also was entirely re
lieved of my trouble, and am sure
'his medicine will do all and more
than is claimed for it." It Is a sim-
lile. harmless preparation that re
moves the catarrhal mucus from

Inflammation which causes prac
tically all stomach, liver and in

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 22. itu
Klux klansmen in Georgia are on
the verge of open rebellion in con
sequence of a published statement
by James L. Beavers', Atlanta
chief of police ana candidate for
mayor, that Edward Young Clarke,
acting Imperial wizard, has com
pleted negotiations with Marcus
Garvey, New York negro, to admit
negroes Co membership in the or
der.
Chief Beavers reiterated his
statement In a public speech today
quoting an interview with Clarke,
written August 15. In this inter
view Clarke was quoted as saying
that the ""'negro question as
ceased to be," and that "the klan
is not fighting the Jew, but is try
ing to get the Gentile to take on
some of the traits of tha Jews."
The full interview was printed
here, and has not been repudiated
by Clarke.
At the Atlanta city hall, which
is a hot-bed of Ku Kluxlsm, lead
era openly stated that Clarke had
"played hell" and that it would
henceforth be "impossible to keep
the boys of the South together."
Even among the imperial family
there was an under-current of dis
sension at Clarke's interview.
Atlanta negroes are treating the
subject lightly." Negro leaders
here assert that no matter how
many negotiations Clarke and
Garvey may engineer, members of
the race In this part of the coun
try will steer clear of the klan.
A meeting of Atlanta klansmen
to discuss the most sensational
klan developments here in months
has been called for Monday, it was
learned.

HORROR
TAX BILL TAKEN
OFF THE BALLOT
Wholesale forgeries and fraud
in connection with the circulation
of Initiative petitions were recog
nized judicially in a decision
handed down by George G. Bing
ham and Percy R. Kelly, Marion
county circuit judges, yesterday,
enjoining Secretary of State Koz
er from giving a place on the No
vember ballot to the grange grad
uated Income tax measure.
The decision in the income tax
case was reached after a hearing
in Multnomah county during
which 365 witnesses testified to
the reprehensible conduct of pe
tition circulators in this district
A transcript of all testimony per
taining to the frauds has been
ordered by Stanley Myers, district
attorney, and law violations will
be placed before the grand Jury.
"Governor Olcott undoubtedly
will revoke the notarial commis
sions of these men," declared Mr.
Myers last night, "and vigorous
prosecutions will follow any in
dictments. Unfortunately, the ini
tiative law is rather vague in pro
viding means for punishment of
such offenders, but the last legis-
lature furnished a new line of ap
proach by means of which I hope
to put some of these notaries be
hind the bars."
Of the 14,369 signatures on the
petitions filed with the secretary
of state, 1108 in excess of the
number of names required by law
10 place It on the ballot, 3837
were certified to by notaries pub
nc wno declared they knew of
their own knowledge that the
signers were legal voters, points

were Otto Newman, Paul Turner.

Portland, Or., Sept. 21. Hope
that "all available means be used
by this country to put an end to
unspeakable atrocities" causing
suffering to Chrisians in eastern
lands was expressed in a resolu
tion adopted yesterday by the
house of deputies of the Pro
testant Episcopal church in the
United States, in general conven
tion here.
This supplements action of sim
ilar nature taken by the house of
bishops, and places the convention
squarely behind a demand for ac
tion by the United States govern
ment in the matter.
The deputies, by a rising vote
adopted a resolution extending
sympathy to the bereaved families
of the miners lost in the Argonaut
mine.
Ratification or rejection of an
amendment tightening the divorce
law of the church was before the
house of deputies. The change
approved by the bishops, which
makes the law explicit in forbid
ding communicants marrying di
vorced persons ' except ,in cases
where a divorce has been granted
on grounds of infidelity, was on
the house calendar, but consider
ation of. other matters delayed the
opening of the discussion.
A prelude came in the morning
session when the request of the
diocese of Oregon, presented by
Rev. E. T. Simpson of Corvallis,
that a brief statement of the mar
riage and divorce laws of the
church be printed in the prayer
book was rejected by the deputies
Rev. Simpson argued that many
persons were familiar with these
church laws and often were not
informed of them until they were
on the verge of violating them. He
protested against the convention
legislating on such important mat
ters and leaving no other record
than in the journal.
The house of bishops in execu
tive session yesterday balloted. for
election of missionary bishops for
eastern Oregon and Haiti. The re
sults were certified to the deputies
who will act on them in executive
session this morning.

fess Japan fixes an early date for

REGISTRATION IS SLOW, ;
SAYS CLERK OF COUNTY
Registration among voters of
the county is progressing very
slowly, according to County Clerk
U. S. Boyer. Voters should enter
their names at the earliest possi
ble time, Mr. Boyer said.
"Failure of voters to register
causes a great Inconvenience to
the election boards," Mr. Boyer
explained today. "It causes them
much annoyance and costs a great
deal of valuable time. For that
reason, if for bo other, I would
urge voters to register as soon as
possible.''
People, he explained, are said
by the election hoards not to be
showing a proper Interest when
they neglect registering early.
