This is a pattern that should be adopted by every com munity in the state of Oregon. Frank K. Welles, Pendleton, school superintendent of Umatilla county, has taken up the matter of having the pupils of his county all write letters for publication in out side newspapers. He has personal ly written to every teacher in Uma tilla county. Eugene has determined to become one of the best advertised cities on the Pacific Coast. The people of that beautiful city appreciate the liberal recognition given the UnU versity by the state oi Oregon, and are going to show their apprecia tion in a practical way. The streets of the city are to be paved; the city and the University are to be advertised with the very finest printed matter; the University is very much encouraged as the in creased number ot high school grad uates give it a splendid opportuni ty to grow. Public speakers who have recent ly appeared betore the high schools of the state say that sixty per cent of the pupils have come to this state within five years. Doesn't this fur nish a marvelous vehicle for adver tising? Publicity matters are especially busy in Portland. The Admen's League gave their famous annual banquet which for spice rivals the Gridiron Club of Washington City, Wednesday night at the Portland Commercial Club. Thursday night the newspaper men of the city en tertained the famous musk-raker, Lincoln P. Steflens. The Oregon climate and its health giving qualities were in evidence at the Portland Commercial Club Sat urday night in a bottle pool contest between the Hon. George H. Wil liams, ex-Attorney of the United States and Col. John McCrakcn, the former 84 and the latter I) J. Col James Jackson, of Governor Cham berlain's staff, a retired army offi cer, kept the score, while Profesor I. W. Pratt, Portland's veteran and honored teacher, filled the position of referee. The nome-buuders are coming; the colonist rates are still on and sota included; $30 from St. Louis, and $33 from Chicago. Thomas' Weekly Review in its last number publishes the pure food law, the rulings, decisions and the opinions of the trade. Under the head of "coffee," Henry Nordling er & Co., says, "The object of the national pure food law is primarily protection for the health of the con sumer. It will at the same time be a protection lor the honest dealer in food products. This law will cer tainly be the means of increasing the consumption of coffee in the United States, inasmuch as it does not permit of any substitutes, and dealers will find themselves com pelled to handle only the genuine article. Adulterates like chickory peas, beans, corn, etc., which were used heretofore in ground coffee, will not be permitted. What has heretofore been sold as 'cereal cof fee" must be sold in the future sim ply as a cereal. It never had the right to the name of coffee, but its use misled many an unwary one Coffee is known the world over as a tonic, and is recommended by the highest authorities in the medical profession; that is, pure, but not adulterated coffee. The consumer is furthermore protected in the pre vention of the use of fictitious names on labels, which in numer ous cases, implied that the package contained certain well known and hieh priced coffees. There are plenty of coffees of even better mer it than these, which are selling at a ower price, and we are of the opin ion that these latter cotiees, une Mexicans, Bogotas and Cantos, will be more generally appreciated in the future, when they willbe sold under their own name and thus be come popularly known," Cannot Collect Poll Tax. Attorney General Crawford has rendered an opinion on the validity of poll tax collection. House bill 325 which passed the last legisla ture, repealed sections 301 and 3142 of Bellinger & Cotton's code, which abolishes the $1 poll tax of 1854, and amended in 1870, to ex empt firemen from the poll tax roll. The act of 1856 and subsequent amendatory acts providing for the state revenues cover the entire ground of the section enacted in 1854, providing that state revenue shall be 5 mills on the dollar of all taxable property, and in addition to the $1 poll tax. The attorney general holds that after the repealing act goes into ef fect on May 25 that the poll tax cannot be legally collected, that the assessment would not have the validity of a judgment until they are entered on the roll, and as the roll would not be made up before the act takes effect, the assessor would have no further authority to collect the tax or make up the roll, and there is no authority in future for sheriffs to collect the same for the above reasons. Must Build Salem Line. Another impediment has been found to the plans of the United Railways Company. This is the interpretation of the franchise by City Attorney McNary that it is compulsory upon the company to build the Salem line within two years from the time of the franchise or the bond will be forfeitable. Even though the Front street line is built and the Salem line is not, the bond may be declared forfeit able by the city and the Front street line confiscated. "Both provisions of the franchise are mandatory," said City Attorney McNary yesterday, "in ray opin ion, the bond will be forfeited by failure to build either the Salem or the Front street lines within two years and the latter prior to June. It would not be sufficient for the company to construct the Front street line and abandon the Salem project, but must construct both and that within the time required." Oregonian.

A Salem dispatch of March 25th says: Oue of the important devel opments at the meeting of the Board of Shetp Cora m issiouers held at Pendleton last Saturday U the fact that Oregon is a quarantined state, as far as its relations aud the sheep industry are concerned, towards other states, lr the reason that there has been so much neglect in the mnuner of thp inspection, re sulting in the spreading of the di sease scab among the sheep, which is infectious. The Board decided to appoint competent inspectors, who will begiu the work at once of inspecting tne Mieep throughout the state, and astringent system will be adopted to eliminate the di sease from the sneep. Under the direction of Chief In spector V. u. Lytle, of the Ani mal Industry Bureau of the feder al government, who will co operate with the board, four inspectors will begin their work in this, the first district, immediately, represented by W.

A Bad law, , There is a law to the effect that when a person is committed to the State Insane Asylum the county judge may decree that $10 per month, or any portion of that sum shall be paid oat ot his estate or by his Immediacy (-Vjujeik, o defray his expenses. The law is a bad one, it is unjust to compel a prop erty owner to pay his share of the taxes levied to maintain the asy lum, and then, when be or a mem ber of his family is unfortunate enough to become insane, deprive him of the benefits le should be en titled to. It is as if a member of a mutua benefit association were deprived ot his right of indemnity in case of sickness. It is a rediculous as wel as an unjust thing to put an addi tional financial burden upon a tax payer because of a misfortune gainst which no amount of pru dence would have been a safeguard. A case in this county illustrates an other feature 01 tins law. It ap pears that a man who had been committed to the asylum had $500 deposited in a savings bank in Port and drawing 4 per cent interest hereupon the county judge or ered that $5 Fr month be paid out of this mans savings to the great state of Oregon. We suppose t was necessary to appoint a guar dian, and the expense of making out papers, etc., will have to be paid out of that $500. This is the penalty the man pays for having been saving. Had he been an opium fiend or a drunkard he would have been cared for by the state out of the funds provided by the tax payer. The amount saved to the taxpayers of Columbia couuty by this piece of economy is sosmal! as to be unworthy of consideration The law, bad as it is, was never in tended to be invoked for the pur pose of wiping out the small sav ings ot a wageworker. we tlon t believe the people of Columbia county need the money that will be saved them by this transaction. We think thev would rather stand their share of the expenses and have the man's savings remain in the bank, to be handed over to him if he is ever cured of his mental de- ,t. -Oregon Mist. The Authority Which is Supreme Edward Everett Hale contributes a number of interesting anecdotes of his experience as chaplain of the senate in the April Woman's Home Companion. Dr. Hale says of the supreme court room: "What was the senate chamber of those time is now the court room of the United States supreme court. If you are there before May is over, that court will be in session. In the passageway the guide will put his fingers to his lips to intimate that you must be especially silent, and then he will take you in at a central door, where you will sec the court in session, and so you may watch the procedure. "Now, it is one of those things which come in their order when no man plans it, which so arranges your affairs and mine that this cen tral courtroom, this Holy of Holies, as one might call it without irrever ence, should be just where it is. I was talking the other day with a very distinguished judge, now on the bench, aud I said to him, 'In the enthusiasm for the architecture they would be building you a spe cial court house before long.' ' "He answered very seriously, 'I hope not. No one planned it, I suppose, but it seems to me that it is a matter of national education. I mean that our presence here, just where we are, is a sort of object les son to hundreds and thousands of people just where they need to be enlightened. The careless traveler has au hour to spend in the capitol. He walks from the senate to the house, or from the house to the senate, and as he goes he is caMed into our court room, where he sees and learns what perhaps he had not thought of, that here is an authori ty which is supreme. Senate and house may discuss and debate, but here, between both aud above both, speaks the ceutral court which says what is and what is not.' " DEATH FOLLOWS DRUNKEN SLEEP AXEL ANDERSON DEAD. Fall From Wagon and Hang He Downward for Hour-. Father Cur Dying Man. There is nothing particularly startling to read of the announce ment that a man has fallen from a wagon and killed himself while in a drunken stupor, but it is surpris ing to learn of a man hanging by his feet, head downward, for hours and retaining life for half a day aft er he is rescued from bis perilous situation. But such a thing hap pened to Axel Anderson, who lived about three miles south of Beaver ton, last Friday night. On Friday morning Anderson went to Port land with a load of hay and was seen about dark that evening on the Canyon road on his way home. It is claimed by those who passed him on the road that he was in an intoxicated condition, and half asleep. It is supposed that he went to sleep while sitting ou the hay rack and his team went homeward until they had passed the Multno mah county line and over into Washington county some thirty or forty feet, where they went to the roadside and remained there until noticed by Tat. Leavy, between 3 and 4 o'clock Saturday morning. He was on his way to Portland and seeing the team standing beside the road, got out of his wagon and made an examinatiou. He found Anderson hanging from the hay rack, head downward, with his feet caught between two boards of the rack. His overcoat had fallen back over hi head, and the rain, which had fallen during the night, had thoroughly saturated the unfortu nate man's clothing. Mr. Leavy went to Anderson's assistance and found that be was still breathing heavily, and lifting him to the ground carried him to a barn near by, covered him over with blankets and left him to sleep off his drunk en stupor, as he supposed Ander son was only dead drank and would come to himself after a little sleep. Along in the forenoon the father of Anderson, who had started out to look him up, found the team hitch ed by the roadside and his son in the barn. By this time a number of neighbors had gathered and be coming convinced that the man was seriously ill sent for Dr. Robinson, of Beaverton. It is said that old man Anderson, while standing over his unconscious son cursed him, and but for the in terference of those present would have kicked him. He seemed fran tic about the team and said it was a shame that the animals had to stand out all night in the rain. The old man took the horses and started for home, passing his son's wife ou the way. She asked him if be had seen anything of Axel and he told her to go to hell; that it was none of her business where he was. She continued on her way in search of her husband and did not learn of his death until her return from Portland along in the evening. Dr. Robinson- reached the younger Anderson about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and did all he could for him, but he died at about 4:30 o'clock, never regaining conscious ness. It is said that trouble has existed between Axel Anderson and wife ever since he brought her to his father's home a bride in 1902. The (Continued on Local fage.)
