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.

Eastern Oregon have dreams of

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

A POWERFUL LECTURE
"The Necessity of a Hell" this is one of Dr. Oliver's most powerful
lecture mid he will endeavor to handle it as he has never handled it
before. Local prejudice and indifference will enable him to make thi
lecture one long to be remembered by all who come out tonight. If
vou haven't been to hear Dr Oliver and don't care to go again AO
TONIGHT SURE and hear this lecture. You would gladly pay $3 io

"The national apple show will bo
larger and better than ovor, this
this year," states H. J. Neely, sec
retary of the show, who ia in Med
ford looking after Interests bore,
"nnd a greater number of car lots
will be entered In competition. 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.
"All through the northwest apple
growers have made up their minds
to win first place and In every dis
trict prize fruit is being grown. So
the winner this year will havo to
'go some.'
"I believe that If the Rogue or
chardlsts will enter another car and
win the sweepstakes again that it
will enhance values hero 33 1-3 per
cent. To win first place twico
would Indeed prove the superiority
of this section and cinch its title to
the championship."
The Ch,ineie Way.
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."

small birds are accustomed to gather

by screaming out like n hawk. Of
course they scatter In every direction,
nud when they do so the mischievous
rascal gives vent to a cncklo that
