The preface of the statement Is as follows: "To the Citizens and Taxpayer of Jackson County: "It has been .heralded over the county that the new court house of Jackson county has cost the sum of 44,000, and In the absence of proof to the contrary many citizens no doubt would think the statement a true one. I now make the following correct statement, showing ..the amount of county warrants drawn with which to pay for all material used, and all work used In and upon the said building, together wttb all furniture therein, such as a clock, lamps, desks, tables, chairs, door mats and matting for floors, window shades, spittoons and stoves and stove pipe, fire dogs, painting, etc.' The contract price of the court bouse was 933,000 and extra work and material brought the total up $38,790.00. Amount of the Items listed la $1 for a flagpole, which still stands at the pioneer structure; 14 for cus pidors, many of which are still In use, though battered by tfie boots of Irate taxpayers, and 94 for laying and sewing Vie carpet on the Judge's stand.

"Although we were Inexperienced when we started the cruise, we had no trouble navigating our ketch, the Stortebecker, after the first few days. "A gale struck us on the fourth day after quitting Marblehead, and we .had to heave to and drop the sea anchor for 18 hours. Two days later we encountered a storm which oar rled away five sails, and held us up for'flve days. "In all that bloV our 21 -ton craft was never In danger of sinking. "We met plenty of headwinds, but the so-called 'prevailing southwest wind' were conspicuously absent, We also encountered pi&ny calms, total ing about 14 days. These we spent swimming, reading, playing games and listening to radio concerts. "Alter leaving the Azores, we hailed the British steamer 'Pacific President' and went alongside to check our nav igation position." The vessel sailed yesterday for Ma laga, Spain. It will follow the coast to Marseilles, where the craft will either be sold or stored until next summer for a return Journey.

Rather, he said, the federation should urge "removsl of the burden from the cltleen of small means, and plac ing It upon those citizens who have large Incomes." Osborne's address ' dealt at consid erable length with political meas ures. Secrecy attending the Initia tion of 4he Zorn-MacPherson school merging bill throws considerable sus picion on the purposes of the pro posed measure, he said, with argu ments on both sides, confined so far to costs, offering little to show the ultlmste effect on state education. He recommended the bill be defeated. The convention wns urged to sup port legislation restricting issuance of Injunctions In labor disputes, the bill favoring repeal of the state dry law, the measure sustaining the bal ance of the 700,0O0 educational ap propriation, and the water power amendment. Defeat of other proposed legislation was recommended, including the school moving bill, the oleomargarine tax, property qualification for voting, change In the 6 per cent tax limita tion, Rogue river closing to commer cial fishing, amendment to the pres ent Income tax law. and the consti tutional amendment permitting es tablishment of a tax control commla slon. 4 Phone 542.
