ANTI-CIGARETTE
BILL PROPOSEO
Ilepresentative-elect Chas McDon­
ald, of Multnomah county, has draft­
ed a bill which he will introduce at
the legislature next winter, having
for its purpose the utter extermina­
tion of the "coffin tack" in the Heav­
er state. Even substitutes for cigar­
ettes will be placed under a ban. and
any one caught giving or selling the
"makings” will be subject to a fine,
and If the fine is not paid, then off
to prison he (or she) must go. Con­
servative statistics show that 500,000
cigarettes are smoked dally in Ore­
gon. These figures may reach 800,-
000, for the 500,000 dally consump­
tion is based on 4 0 per cent of the
smokers smoking only ten of the
"tacks" a day. and any cigarette
smoker will confess that ten "cigs”
a day is a niggardly allowance, and
should be 20 or 30.
Then again,
more than 4 0 per cent of the voters
use cigarettes and many who are
not voters are heavy customers. The
"makings" sold in this state in a
week run into several thousand doP
lars. so the passing of the proposed'
reform measure of Representative
McDonald would cut deeply iu c the
profits of the tobacconists. The bill,
which was prepared by an attorney
and sent to Mr. McDonald for his ap­
proval. follows the Washington law.
McDonald, who is now in Curry coun­
ty on his vacation, has written that
the draft of the measure is satisfac­
tory to him. and promises that it will
be one of the first bills Introduced in
the coming session
The bill does
not prohibit the smoking of the "cof-
fin tacks,” but it makes the aecur-
ing of the materials difficult, almost
Impossible, in fact. Say s t he bill:
"It shall be unlawful for any per­
son, by himself, clerk, servant, em­
ploye or agent, directly or indirectly,
upon any pretense or by any device,
to manufacture, sell or exchange,
barter, dispose of or give away, or
keep for sale, any cigarettes, or any
paper made or prepared for the pur­
pose of being filled with tobacco for
smoking: any person for violation of
the same will be guilty of a misde-
meaner, and upon conviction shall
for the first offense pay a fine of not
less than $25, nor more than $100.
and costs of prosecution, and stand
committed to Jail until such costs are
paid; and for the second and each
subsequent offense shall pay upon
conviction a fine of not less than $100
uor more than $500, and costa of
prosecution, or be imprisoned in the
county jail not less than one month
or more than six months; provided,
that the provisions hereof shall not
apply nor interfere with the sale or
or disposal of by any »person in thia
state to any
person outside thia
state." Forest Grove Times.

to the union from five cents flat for
every half ounce to five cents for the
first ounce and three cents for each
additional ounce.
This reduction of the universal in­
ternational postal rate paved the way
for the "special union” between the
United States and Great Britain, by
demonstrating the injustice of charg­
ing the same postal rate to Great
Britain, with which this country has
direct steamer connection, that Is
charged to remote countries with
which the United States has no direct
communication. The articles of the
Universal Postal Union permit the
conclusion of "restricted unions" be­
tween any two countries and this is
the fourth time that the American
postal authorities have availed them­
selves of that privilege. Such agree­
ments. fixing the letter rate at two
cents, have already been concluded
with Cuba, Panama and Canada.
What the Immediate effect of the
rereductlon in postal rate between the
United States and Great Briain will
be, is, of course, merely a matter of
speculation at the present time. Post-
master-General Meyer believes that
the American and English merchants
and manufacturers will not be slow
In availing themselves of this oppor­
tunity to send large quantities of cir­
culars. catalogues and advertising
literaure across the ocean, something
that had been practically impossible
under the former high letter rate.
Businessmen are inclined to believe
that the reduction will greatly stim­
ulate the commercial relations be­
tween the two countries.
NEW OFFICERS FOR
IRRIGATORS SELECTED
Albuquerque. Oct. 2. The com-
mlttee on permanent organization of
the irrigation congress presented Its
report today making nominations as
follows:
President, George I. Barstow, of
Texas; vice president, H. D. I.ove-
land of San FrancIsco; second vice
president, 1. D. Donnell, of Montana;
secretary. B. A. Fowler, of Arizona.
The committee recommends the
creation of an assistant secretary and
proposes the name of McQueen Gray,
of New Mexico, for that office
The committee on resolutions is
expected to report thts afternoon.
The Indications are that Spokane
will be the next place of meeting.
(By Mrs. Josephine Hull, Press Cor­
respondent. )
The 17th annual convention of the
Lane County W. C. T. U. met in the
little church in East Eugene at 2 p.
m. Septeml er 23. Mrs. Eva Wheeler
of Cottage Grove, the county presi­
dent. presided with her usual grace,
and the state president. Mrs. Henriet­
ta, Brown, of Albany, was there with
her words of encouragement and
helpful suggestions. Nine unions
were represented, one only a few­
months old. being quite a prosperous
babe.
Mrs. Wheeler gave a fine annual
address at Wednesday afternoon's
session, the remainder of the day's
session being taken up by reports of
superintendents and plans for the
coming year. The reports of work
done were much better than those of
last year, the East Eugene union cap­
turing the banner for the best re­
port of work in propotlon to mem­
bers.
Wednesday evening Mrs. Brown
gave an address in the Baptist
church. Mrs. Brown is a modest, un-
assuming speaker, but husiness-like
and entertaining, and impresses her
hearers as being thoroughly sincere.
Mrs. Wheeler also gave a recital,
which was much enjoyed by those
who heard her.
The committee on resolutions re­
ported as foliows:
"Whereas, We, the members of the
W. C. T. U. now met in county con­
vention In East Eugene, most hearti­
ly endorse the principles of the great
and grand order, in total abstinence
for the individual and prohibition for
state and nation, An equal code of
morals for men and women, equal
wages for equal work regardless of
sex. the ballot in the hands of wo­
men. claiming we should have a right
to help make the laws by which we
are governed: we accept the holy Bi­
ble as our standard of faith and be­
lieve the Lord's Dav should be used
only In His service and worship. We
believe in upholding the purity of the
press, and realizing the evil effects
of the use of tobacco, especially by
the young, we as Christian Temper­
ance women do most earnestly pro­
test against newspaper cuts represent­
ing young men as using this relic of
American savagery in the form of
p'pe. cigar or cigarette, certainly add­
ing no suggestion of strength or man­
liness to the young student, nor beau­
ty. grace or any comeliness whatever
to Innocent childhood. Therefore,
while feeling sincerely our obliga­
tions to the Eugene press for the
many favors of the past year we beg
a continuance of their co-operation in
exalting the good and eradicating the
evil. To the East Eugene women as
hostesses, to the church board for the
use of the church, to the good people
who have so kindly and generously
entertained us we tender our most
sincere and eartfelt thanks.

Salem, Sept. 2 9.—Ex-State Senator
Robert A. Booth, who has given so
many munificent gifts to Willamette
University, has announced, through
Dr. Fletcher Homan, president of
the university, that he will give $10,-
000 as a starter for a second $100,-
000 endowment. At present $100,-
of the endowment has been raised.
On condition that the first $100,000
was raised, two loyal Willamette men
agreed to give $25,000 each on the
next $150,000, which would make |
the endowment reach the quarter,
million mark. The _

Oregon conference Senator Booth
gave $5000 to an irreducible confer-'

in all that he has given during the i
last week. When the senator appear- ■
ed on the floor of the conference to
plead the cause of Willamette he was
given on ovation that brought tears'
to his eyes.
