ol ins opinion wiiu mo rccnu is noi
Hclr-cxccuiinjTt In' expressed n vtroiiR
desire Hint euoh petitions would lie
filed in order thnt the nintter may be
tested.
"Alllioupli I nin of the opinion that
the lnw 1ms not provided the tiuWliiu
cry necessary to placing the recall in
operation," lp said, "the issue is of
sufficient importance to vnrrant a
test case being brought. If the Lane
county clerk refuses to file the peti
tions a mandamus suit should be
brought to cither comjcl him or es
tablish the fact that he does not have
to do so."
The gist of the opinion by Attor
ney General Crawford in which he
ruled thnt the recall law is not self
executing is. contained in the follow
ing paragraph from the opinien:
"In the matter under discussion,
the people may be said to have re
served to themselves by said amend
ment, the right to recall their public
officers, but they have restricted
themselves in the exercise of that
right to the payment of the campaign
expenses of the officer to be recalled.
Hence before the right can be exer
cised, the mandate to the 'legislature
to, provide for the payment of the
campaign expenses, must bo carried
into effect. The legislature is- re
quired to crtact laws upon thnt sub
ject, and the right to recall is only
assured when Ihe legislature volun
tarily enacts the laws necessary to
provide for such payment. The nec
essary legislation, of course, can be
enacted under the initiative."

Twins" received the uulversal press
Indorsement on Its opening in New
York which stamps it as a high class
attraction, and Asbtou Stevens of tho

Twins Is a credit to Broadway."
There are more novelties In Three

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont., Dec. 23.
What promises to bo tho most beau
tiful driveway In tho world Is the
lC-m lie-long boulevard which the
Ontario government and prlvato en
terprises are constructing along tho
Magara river. It Is nn undertaking
of International Importance, since
the millions who come to see Niagara
Falls will reap the benefits of It.
Beginning near tho Horseshoe
Falls in Queen Victoria park, tho
boulevard will follow tho Niagara
upstream along Us whirlpools and
cascades and rapids on tho Canadian
side to a point opposito Buffalo. Al
ready tho driveway has been com
pleted for a distance of three miles,
frbm Niagara Falls to Chippewa.
The new boulevard has a roadway
150 feet wldo and broad walks for
pedestrians, For tho entire 10 miles
green lawns slope down to tho river.
Fountains, grottoes and rivulets,
tributaries or tho Niagara, will bo
edged with rare trees and hardy
perennials from India, Japan and
other parts of tho world. Tho project
is to lino tho Niagara river with a
driveway park thnt will surpass any
thing of tho sort ever attempted. '
Tho building of tho Niagara boule
vard Is pointed out as n triumph of
what may bo accomplished by wlso
co-operation between a government
and prlvato enterprise. Yearly tho
power companies contrlbuto S100,
000, which Is used for enhancing the
scenic beauty of the surroundings
at tho Falls. Out of this fund the
boulevard Is being constructed under
tho supervision of tho park commis
sioners to make tho Falls and Niagara
river more than over the show plnco
of tho now world.
CHILDREN OF CITY
Kd Brown has leased the Star the
ater, and is prepnrinjr to entortuin tho
children of tho city on Monday after
noon with n free muliiice at tho then
tor. All of tho children of tho city
aro invited, Tho program will be ap
propriate for the occasion. Mr
lVroivn takes thin method of extend
ing Christmas greetings.
A charge of dynamite placed on
the middle of the old Centennial
bridge Wednesday morning was lit
erally "the last straw thnt broke the
camel's back," and the venerable
structuro that had stood so stanchly
for thlrty-flvo yoars with Its roof
and superstructure torn away and
looking like a well-picked Christmas
turkey, collapsed Into Hogue river,
ovor whoso rushing waters It had
borne so many thousands of people
and so many million tons of froight
In safety. It was secured by cables,
&& that tho timbers, many of them
still sound as tho day thoy were"
framed, wero recovered, to be used
In building smaller creek bridges In
various parts of Jackson county. A
portion of tho roof will bo convcrtod
Into a tying shed Tor farmers' teams j
In Gold Hill. Thus the old Ccn'ten-,
nlal, having outlived its usefulness, i
crowded off the stago by a handsomo i
new steel sister, will continue, lllco
tho carcass of tho Christmas turkoy,
to bo of usefulness to mankind long
after its original purposo has boon
fulfilled. Gold Hill News.
Want Turkey to Yield.
HOME, Dec. 23. Pressure Is be
ing brought by tho powers Upon Con
stantinople, especially hoavy in tho
case of Germany, which It Is believed
will result In tho speedy cessation of
hostilities botweon Italy and Turkey.
The various powers nro ondoavorlng
to have Turkoy yield, and tho Porte
has agreod to do this providing Italy
pays an indemnity and tho Turkish
Sultan maintains his sovorelgnty
over Tripoli.
Italy roftisos tho latter condition,
hnd tho powers nro Urging tho Porto
that furthor fighting will moan not
only the loss of Tripoli, but tho In-
'dc'mnlty which Italy Is still willing
to pay.

If that verdict be for hnn.yingx, the
sentences of the courts will be

mended for passage by Utenin
West, there will be a proMou for
life imprisonment for murder, with
no Hwcr of pardon bv the exeeutixc
except on tvviuitmcuduliuu of the su
premo court. All this is uuutimu'cd
in n statemout by (lovernor West, in
which ho says:
"Capital punishment is cither richt
or wrong. I believe it wrong uml 1
believe 1 voice the sentiment of n inn.
joritv of the people of the state when
I suv it is wromr and should be abol
ished. When I stated before leaving
for the cast, that there would be m
hangings during my Iprm of office, I
did so hecaimo I .bad, as I now have
tho firm belief that the people of this
state would at the first opportunity
vote to abolish it and it was my in
tention to submit to the voters of this
state through the initiative a measure
abolishing capital punishment, substi
tuting life imprisonment and permit
ting tho granting of pnrdons in mur
der cases only ujHin- recommendation
of the supremo court. In the mean
time death sentences will not bo com
muted by reprieves only issued for
the purposo of postHning the exe
cuting until nfter the pcoplo have do
olurud their wislns.
"If they ileol.irc for hanging, their
sentence shall bo carried out to the
letter in each and' every case, but 1
do not fenr such a verdict, us I uni
Ann in my belief (hat the people will
iibolii.h this relic. of tho dark ages
nnd that there will be no more hang
ings in this stnte."
