With two initiative measures filed today with the office of the Secretary of State, each offered by the Prohibition forces, the number of initiative petitions bas reached the 23 mark. The two pro posed measures received today are almost identical in effect, bat one provides for a constitutional amend ment and the other is a bill to make that amendment operative. The proposed amendment would prohibit on and after fuly ,1 1911. the sale and manufacture of intoxicating liouor in the State of Oregon save for medicinal, scientific, sacramental or mechanical purposes and to keep in effect all existing laws for procedure and punishment of unlawful sale and possession or disposal of intoxicating liquor, nnless otherwise provided. Both the petition for the bill and for the amendment carry over 16,000 signatures. The bill is exhaustive and contains several " hundred words. It provides that no person or firm shall offer any carrier lor shipment any intoxicating liquor, that any Sheriff or constable shall have the right of forcible entry and seizure and of arrest, that no person in the state shall aot as agent for either buyer or seller of intoxi cants, that the issue of an internal revenue stamp by the Federal Govern ment shall be prima facie evidence of being in possession of intoxicants, that any liquor in fact intoxicating, or requiring an internal revenue stamp shall be deolared intoxicating liquor and that Justices of the Peace under this bill shall have concurrent juris diction with Circuit Judges. It is provided that where . . a license has been issued to a time extending past the date this bill shall become a law, proportional amount of the license fee shall be refunded. Punishment provided by the bill includes first and second offenses, for the first offense a fine or imprison ment being optional and for the second offense both fine and imprisonment to be imposed. An affirmative argument for Olark County was filed with the Secretary of State today. It is proposed to create this county from the northern portion of Grout County. Cnmmniidrr Jiiliu A.

For the lynching of Ollie Snyder, which occurred at Hamilton, in northern Grant county, on last Christmas day. nve men now stand convicted and mob law is repudiated in Grant county. Ben Hi n ton was convicted of murder in the second decree. Last night Judge George E. Davis pronounced upon him the sentence of life impris onment. Today Sheriff O. M. Collier left with Hinton for the penitentiary at Ealem. Deputy Sheriff Caseday was tried this week and found guilty of murder in the first degree. Feeling was stronger against Caseday than any of his co-cousnirators. He was an officer of the law, he has the reputation of being a fearless gun man, and when it was learned that he had entered into the conspiracy to mob his prisoner, Ollie Snyder, the feeling against him was bitter. After the conviction of Caseday yesterday his co-defendants. Earl Shields, Emmett Shields and Bert Green, sent word last night to Dis trict Attorney J. W. McOulloch that they wanted to plead guilty. They were brought into the court room and withdrew their pleas of not guilty to the charge of murder in the first de gree and entered a plea of murder in the second degree. This ends one of the saddest chapters ever written in the criminal annals of Grant cjunty With the exception of Caseday, the convicted men are all under 30 years of age. Green is a married man with a family. Green and Hinton are each married and have children. The Shields are brother-in-laws to Bert Green. The families are all well known in Grant county. Pyrin? the progress of the trias the courtroom was haunted by the wives, babies, mothers and fathers and members of the families of the guilty men. Sentence will be pronounced on the oo-defendants in a few days The Caseday case will be appealed. FATALLY BURNED WITH GASOLINE Miss Emma Zink Meets With Shocking Accident.

Oregon is not largely affected for the present, in the bill passed by Congress requiring immediate survey and patenting of grant lands, that local communities may levy taxes against such holdings. In the list of unpatented lan is furnished by the Interior Department but 280.9S5 acres, of the Oregon & California holdings are set forth as subject to the provi sions of this new bill. Practically all this land is merely a grant, which the company cannot press to a patent now, because the indemnity sections selected are yet unsurveyed by the Government, or no indemnity acreage is available. Only a few years ago Oregon had a bitter complaint to make on this score. Oi the 3,100,000 acres in tne Oregon & California grant, from 20 to 25 years were permitted to lapse without the company taking patent for any more of the land than had been sold, or was ready to be sold at once. During tins quarter 01 a century, when the company was carrying its vast holdings under mere title of a grant law, to keep them off the Assessor's taxroll or for other purpose, the citizens made many com plaints. From 1890 on, the bulk of the acreage given in both the East and the West Side grants was patent ed by the company. Since then such portions as have not been sold have been subject to taxation by the local authorities, except something less than 300. 000 acres, which the company cannot yet pass to patent. In the original grants, the odd sec- ons lor all lands lying witnin zu miles of either Bide of the railway lines was embraced. Where such odd sections had already passed into private ownership the grantees were given an indemnity selection in the strips of land 10 miles wide on the outer edge of the grant Not being permitted to go beyond these indemnity strips, which have a maximum dis tance of 80 miles from the railway ine, and surveys in some portions of these strips by the Government being slow, the company has been unable to make its indemnity selections for 11 the land conveyed by the grant. While the fraud uDon Oregon of ithholding grant lands from patent to aviod taxation ceased from 10 to 20 vears ago, up to the time of bring ing the suits by a number of settlers to compel the company to convey these lands to actual entrymen upon tender of $2.50 an acre, in the year 1907, the Oregon & California had raid but about 50 cents an acre on its average holdings of the grant region. During those days the company assumed that the grant was going to be perpetual, and not in trut fcr the settlesr who would claim it, and that forfeiture would be impossible. Since the suits were filed and the Government later becan its forfeiture proceedings, the railway company has shown the greatest solicitude known in the West to pay the taxes ou these lands. In some instances its officials have co-operated eagerly with county officials in having the tax rate in creased, with what is supposed to be the purpose of paying in taxes as much as the maximum price which the law permits to be charged for the land under the terms of the grant. Instead of being an unwilling tax payer and holding its lands from patent for years to avoid assessment, the company is now stranaelv eager to pay. which charge of heart is credited bv t he settlers and their aftorne.vs to he due to the hops of the defeating the conditions of the primary grant law. In Oregon the theory of attorneys for the settlers who have gone onto the grant lands ia that the railway company held merely as trustee and should not be assessed by the local authorities. This trust theory ia com bated vigorously by the company officials. While they felt that the grant conveyed a perpetual title they were glad to leave their lands un patented, so that they could not be reached by local assessors. But as soon as the grant is attacked and is charged with being nothing but a conveyance in trust the railway com pany officials are breaking all records In pacing taxes on its holdings. m If the Oregon condition to the arrant lws could be applied to the grants made in other states, there would be no nee ot the law that has been Dissed bv Uoncrress to compel passing all such lanrls to patents. The com panies in those states would be crowd ing the assessor to raise the assess- ' ment. o na to fortify title in every way possible. To Improve Public Health People of Oregon are to be educated on hygienic matters as to ways of protecting themselves from commu nicable diseases, the instruction to oiwe irora the state Board cf Health, which outlined a campaign for that purpose at its quarterly meet ing held at Med ford. Farmers especially are to be en lightened concerning methods of pre venting communication of disease from animals to man. Among the methods planned for doing this will be the inauguration trains sent out to teach farmers how to farm scientifi cally. There will also be lectures and exhibitions of models by experts to be employed by the board to attend the farmers' institutes. Among the important topics to be dealt with in this campaign of educa tion will be the extermination of house-flies, and how bst to ' prevent tuberculosis and typhoid fever. I It is planned to have prepared small models of sanitary bungalows for use of people with weak lungs to demon strate to them bow they may guard against lung jiseases. The board will also try several makes of paper cuds, to be used only once like nap kins, and then destroyed. These, it is planned, will be introduced into schools to guard against the spread of disease through drinking water. It was the opinion of members of the board that the use of tin buckets and pans for transporting berries to the canneries should be condemned. as the acid, it is believed, acting on the tin, may form lead poison, which will be transmitted to people eating the fruit later. Ordinary cloth napkins were dis credited by members of the board, who advocate the use of the paper article in publio places, anl at-homes where napkins may beoome mixed. Dangers arising from ilack methods in the slaughter 01 animals will also be tacght to the public jy the Board of Health. The attention of the board has been called to slaughter houses where wells have been dug so close to places where waste meat and blood are deposited that the water must become impregnated with its filth. This water, it is said, is used by employes for washing the meat and their hands before the meat is landled. Such slaughter-houses will ba forced to improve conditions nt once. Schools throughout the state will receive especial attention from the State Beard of Health. A systematic inspection of tiieni for the purpose of having defects in sanitation removed is to be made.
