HEBE LAST NIGHT
Linn County Senator Talks of
. Duties of His New Federal
Office.
COULD HAVE BEEN MEMBER
OF DIPLOMATIC CORPS
When Income Tax Becomes Ef
fective, Most Important Office
In State Says Appointee.
Co.itimu'il from Saturday, July 2
Arriving in Albany last, night for
the purpose of attending 'z meeting of
the Masonic lodge, Senator .M. A. Mil

Albany friends upu.; Ins confirmation
as collector of internal revenue for
Oregon, the appointment having yes
terday hcen lut iiiaily approved by the
United States senate.
"I will leave tor Portland next
week," said Senator Miller to a Demo
crat representative, "and will assume
my duties as soon as my bond is ap
proved, 1 expect to discharge the
duties of the office strictly in accord
ance with the law and will give the
.vork my personal attention at all
times. When the tariff bill passes and
the income tax becomes effective, it
will materially increase the duties of
my new office. In fact it will be the
mu; important federal office in the
Mate. I much prefer this appointment
to a position on the diplomatic corps
for I can better keep in touch with
tin1 affairs of Oregon."

county iiiid has served for fourteen
years as a member of the Oregon leg
islature, h'or eight years he held the

po-ition as member nf the board of
regents of the Stale University and

tional matters. Kor thirty years he has
resided at 1 -ehanon and has always
been active in the political, business
and social life of that city as well as
in the politics of the entire state.
Hundreds Were Arrested, Con
victed and Fined for
Various Offences.
"Howdy Pap" and then you were
"cloughed in" as the term may be
given, for last nig lit was "Moose
.Night" at Arnold's Carnival and the
Moose just had a dickens of a time.
Moo-iC were everywhere and yet no
where, that is if you can call jailed by
that name, for just as soon as one of
these gentlemen would come acros.1
with the accredited salute of "Howdy
Pap," he was spotted and "sloughed
in" until the jail, just a play one
temporarily erected on the grounds,
for the occasion, was brimming full
of all kinds of Moose. Then the court
was opened and in turn each of the
prisoners were given a hearing and
each one was convicted and fined on
various charges. Here arc some of
the charges preferred against the pris
oners: for being too fat, being a sin
gle man, being married, too small,
bow legged, having a smile that won't
wear off, chewing tobacco, walking
flown the street with a lady, and one
man was convicted and fined because
he couldn't dress within five seconds.
All of the offenders were fined from
50 cents to $5 which they gladly paid
to he released. Over $150 was col
lected in fines.
The carnival will give its last per
formance here tonight. All the big
free open air attractions will be given
at the usual time.
SHEDD IS A TOWN OF MANY
BACHELORS SAYS REPORT
The Shedd reporter's atention was
called recently to an article in the
( regon Journal which stated that
there are 35 widows in Ilalsey. This
is a slight mistake as there are 39
widows in Ilalsey and we figure that
there are about that many bachelors in
Shedd. Would it not be expedient for
Shedd and Ilalsey to hold a get-together
meeting? Ilalsey Knterprise.

COUNTY SUES 10
ENJOIN ELECTION
Marion County Intervened To
day hy Suit to Suppress
Oicotts Call.
GALLOWAY HELD ELEC
TION UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Estimated That It Would Cost
Linn County $4000; Will
Save Counties $150,000.
Salem, Or., July 12. (Special to
Democrat). Marion county today in
tervened in the suit brought by A. C.
Libby to enjoin Secretary of State
Olcott from calling the special elec
tion which the legislature ordered to
be held this l'"all to pass on the mea
sures on which the referendum has
been invoked. The county court and
county clerk of Marion county filed
the petition for intervention alleging
that it will cost Marion county $10,000
to hold this election and that there is
no authority of law for it.
It is claimed that even if the bill for
the election should be held constitu
tional there is no provision whatever
for Marion county or any other county
of the state paying the judges and
c lerks of election. Judge Galloway
granted the county's petition to inter
vene so this question as well as the
question of the constitutionality of
the law which was raised in Libby's
suit, will go up to the supreme court
for decision.
The case will probably come up in
the supreme court next week and a
decision as to whether or not the elec
tion will be held will probably be
rendered soon. In passing on the
case in the circuit, court here Judge
Galloway held the election unconsti
tutional and if the sunreme court
upholds his decision it will not be nec
essary to hold the election.
