MANY MEASURES TO BE VOTED ON NEXTJLECTION Ballot Will Be Lengthy, as There Are Many Hatters to Ba Submitted to the Voters Ranging From Prohibi tion to Fish Laws. The voters of Oregon will have to "go some" if they pass discreetly and intelligently upon all the initiative and referendum measures that will find their way upon the state ballot this fall. The variety of them prom ises to be bewildering and the novelty of some of them will be startling. A few of them, such as the prohibition amendment and the woman's suff rage bill, famish clear-cut issues upon which the average voter can form an immediate decision; but the majority of them, will tend to con fusion. To begin with, there are six meas ures submitted by the last legislature. Two of these are proposed constitu tional amendments relative to taxa tion and another provides for state aided railroads. They were passed by the legislature largely because of pressure brought to bear by the lob bying committee of the state grange. They are aimed at the present sys tem of taxation, their prime object being to impose an additional tax upon franchises and other intangible properties. Tho proposed railroad amendment was passed by the legislature and submitted to tho people through the influence of the commercial bodies of Portland, tho State Grange and high potentates of tho People's Progres sive Government league. The initiative, however, will furn ish a still larger crop of proposed amendments and laws. Petitions are already on file calling for n vote on woman suffrage nnd for the creation of tho county of Nesmith out of southern Lane and northern Douglas counties. Petitions nre in circula tion calling for tho creation of Ump im county out of tho western ends of the same counties nnd the resi dents of Drnin nnd the surrounding country have started a movement to orente tho county of Willinms, the proposed area of which overlaps the torritory embraced in tho proposed limits of both Nesmith and Umpqua. It is said that tho Williams county proposal is being ndvancod to con fuse tho voters nnd thereby cause an adverse vote upon tho other propos ed counties. Residents of the north oastorn corner of Umatilla county have- Btnrted a enmpnign for tho cre ntion of Orchard countv, with Milton as tho county sent. Petitions calling for u vote upon this question nro al ready in circulation in Enstem Oro gon. Residents of tho eastern por tion of Harney nnd tho western part of Mainour counties have undertaken u movement for tho oreation of Otis county, with Drowsoy as tho county seat.

The forces of organized lnbor nre busy with their petitions for the em ployers' liability bill, which was killed at the last session of tho legislature. Organized lnbor will also present a constitutional amendment abolishing poll tnxes and otherwise changing the system of taxntion now in vogue. Foes of the liquor traffic will soon filo a petition for a constitutional amendment prohibiting tho sale of nil forms of malt, spirituous and vinous liquors within the state, and it is safe to predict that tho question whether or not liquor shall bo sold in tho different counties and pre cincts, under tho provisions of the local option law, will nlso be up for consideration in various parts of tho state. In addition to this, tho residents of Oregon will have a chnnco to vote on closing Rogue river to commer cial fishing nnd thus preservo this famous trout stream ns a Mecca for eastern sportsmen.

Queen Alex andra has issued a message to the people of Englnnd thanking them for the sympathy they bestowed upon her following the death of King Ed ward and asking them to support her ' son, King George, nnd nssist him in ' following in the footsteps of his late' father. The message shows the deep sorrow of the queen mother. j The conclusion of the letter is an , appeal in behalf of her son. "I confide my dear son into your care, who, I know, will follow in his dear father's footsteps, begging you to show him the same loyalty and de votion you showed his dear father," she wrote. "I know both my dear son and daughter-in-lnw will do their utmost .to merit and keep it." The Scrap Book; i Five to tho Good.

"Ho purchased fur models, be said, a dozen white rabbits from a dealer and ordered them sent homo.

Well, when Mr. Frith re turned and found his rabbits gone bo searched the neighborhood for them manfully. IIo got most of them back, but not nil. And, meeting the dealer next day. he snld angrily: '"What did you mean by leaving tho rabbits loose on my lawn, as you did? I had a frightful task to capturo them, and as It was I got only eleven.' "Tho dealer scratched bis ear. "'But eleven was pretty good, gov ernor.' bo said. 'I'd left only six, yo know, The rest was comln' on tomor row.' " Living.

The winner of the sweepstakes this year will Indeed have something to crow over, ns this year's show will bo as much superior to last year, as last year's was to tho first.

In Its wars with England nnd France in 1S50-00 China was easily conquered nnd forced to n humiliating peace. The Pel; I n Gazette, the olllclal organ, of tho government, however, reported tho following concerning that treaty of peace: "As the western barbarians havo ad mitted their wrongs and humbly so licited for peace, the emperor In his infinite goodness has granted their prayer nnd. moreover, has made them a present of n largo sum of money (In demnity of war) to enable them to be gin an honest life, ho that they may not again be driven to murder nnd rapine."
