Attorney General T. H. Van

(he stale grange nnd which would
put control of hydro-electric re
sources in (he hands of the state.
The measure is n substitute for
c:3 previously offered by the
state grange and for which a bal
lot title was prepared. The dif
ference In the measures is that
the former provided for bond is
euf without limit, while the new
measure limits bond issues to 4
per cent of the atnte's assessed
property valuation. An appropri

The national monthly building

S. W. Strauss & Co., shows that of
I he five Oregon cities mentioned
in the report Eugene alone shows
an Increase In the financial outlay
rot now buildings over October
of last year. Eugene permits to
talled $189,760 against $102, G50
for October of last year, but the
amount was short of the Septem
ber record, which was $250,500.
AH the Oregon cities show reduc
tions from the September figures.
As n whole Oregon reports a 13 per
cent reduction from October, 1324,
and a 14 per cent reduction from
September, this year.
Salem shows only $70,650 for
October, this year, while in the
same month last year the amount
was $256,000, and In September,
tills year, $113,050.
Astoria reported $39,740 for Oc
tober, this year, 5147.CS0 for Octo
ber, last year, and $41,000 or Sep

tax-.leving unit of government to
re-adjust every five years the tax
oasis from which the 0 per cent
limitation would be calculated
This new basts would cover the
regular increases allowed annually
by the G per cent limita-tion plus
whatever atld.tiJnai annual per
centage of increases natural con
ditions would have required
through the intervening fivi
years. Should natural conditions
make rcductljns possible Instead
of increases the new basis would
be made accordingly. Then in
each of the next five years th
tux levy would be made with the
6 per cent incense reckoned from
the new basis.
Local school authorities declare
f-nnkly that under prerent condi
tions it is only a question of time
until It will bo necessary to hold a
special election every year. It was
even said last night by City Super
intendent George Hug that the
$9600 trimmed from the budget
last week should be asked of the
taxpayers in the special election
along with the increase in salaries
for teachers. The school district
will run behind next year due
to insufficient fundrr, he Faid. and
another special election will have
to bo called next year. Accordinr
to an opinion f:om Attorney Gen
sral Van Winkle, read at lust
nigiit's meeting, a school district
is not permitted to create any
seoarate fund for more than one
year's time. Even if the salary
increase measure carries at the
special election this year, to main
tain the new schedule I will have
to be Vot3d every year, unless the
6 per cent increase should overtake
the schedule, which cannot occur
as long as the present growth of
the local schools continues.

Population ot die county jail
has bee ti reduced to 17 prisoners,
tii? lowest it ban been for many
months, and Sheriff Bower pre
dicts it will be uowu to 10 or 12
before November is over, unices
there is a suddcr. and unexpected
acquisition of new timber.

ssupiclou of having knowledge of
an Aurora bank robbery, but in
whose favor a not true bill was
found by the grand jury nnd
Arthur Wheeler, Indian, held on a
charge of assault with a danger
ous weapon, aso favored with a uot
true bill, were released this week.
The population wus further cut
down .by the reprieve by the gov
ernor of Frank Opilz, who was
sent up font St. Paul in company
with bootlegger Schmidt. Opita
was rent in on two charges, one of
jlx months and the other for u
?500 fine, the two to run concur
rently. He had served out his fine
and a little more when reprieved
Opltz had acted as court house
trusty, was well recommended lor
ih( re nil eve and officers state that
ihe fact he was in company with
Schmidt had as much to do with
tho heavy sentences ns anything.
Opitz comes of a good family near
St, Paul and is well liked in that
community, many residents there
interceding in his behalf.
Sheriff Bower slates that three
or four more prisoners will leave
the jail one way or another as a
result of the coming term of civ
cult court, the time of two or thre.
poie will expire during t lie month
and he expects the population to
steadily dwindle barring new
arrivals.
HEALTH CLINIC
AT S!
IS SUCCESSFUL
Sllverton, Nov. 11 (Special):
Tho second week oE the county
health clinic now beiug held at
Silvertou is well underway. Re
sults are proving satisfactory in
that the parents arc co-operating
nicely with the committee in
charge of the work and are ex
pressing their pleasure at the
wares done for their children.
Many of the committee members
have put in every day since the
work began.
As a whole . the children arc
found to be In good health. But
a small per cent are under
weight and these are getting the
milk diet during school hours.
Goitre is the defect most oftcu
found.
On Tuesday of this week Miss
Perrin, health director of the Am
erican Child Health association
with offices in New York, visited
tbo Silverton clinic. Miss Perrin
is on a tour of inspection through
the country.
CIVIC LEAGUE
IS ORGANIZED
SKverlon, Ore., Nov. 11. fSne-
clal) The attendance at a meot-
ng held Monday night of the Ci
vic League of Silverton was not
us largo as desired but a number
of matters of importance were
brought up for discussion. This
meting was held primarily to dis
cuss the future plans ot the league
The promoters report that the pur
poses of the League are to assist
all legitimate authorities to enforce
laws, and to do all In Its power
to develop a better and more en
lightened citizenship. These lead
ers find tho great necessity of cit
ies naving a body of well-vlshinc
people to help in building up a city
and to assist In checking the ever
increasing amount of crime. The
League now has 35 members at
much larger number. Public meet
ings with good speeches are prom
ised for the future. At a later
meeting a constitution and by-laws
will be drawn up nnd committees
law and order, on education and
on health will be chosen.
Marriage licenses have been Is-
tied to Reid D. Carter and Mno
