CONTROVERSY AS
IN MODERN DAYS
According to pioneer record! un
earthed by Robert Murray, abstractor,
about 48 yean ago the old court
house at Jacksonville waa Just com
pleted and rumon were being broad
cast over the county, distorting 1U
cost. This inspired Silas J. Day of
Jacksonville to make a detailed state
ment as to the actual cost and war-
rants drawn. The "rumor" said the
court house cost 944,000, and Judge
Day refuted the charge of waste by
publishing a detailed statement ox
all warrants drawn.
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.

The state of Oregon now owns the
land adjacent to the Crater Lake
highway occupied by Casey's camp,
according to announcement made to
day by O. E. Gates, following receipt
of information from reliable source.
The property has been deeded to
the state by the government In order
that the timber can be protected
and preserved to add beauty to the
seen to highway. The deal was com
pleted through the state highway de
partment and the property will be
controlled by the state highway com
mission through its parylng system.

GIBRALTAR, Aug. 23. (AP) Plve
young; landlubbers, all undergradu
ates of Princeton university, have
conquered the Atlantlo In a two-master
In 49 days despite storm and
calm.
The adventure began In New York
July 2, and will end, for the time

Standlsh Backus, Detroit; Art ley
Hardy, Boston, and Robert Keldle,
Baltimore.
Here Is the story of the adventure
from Die wry :
"We sailed from New York July 2,
reaching Marblebead five days later.
We made the Azores July 28, leaving
for Tangier July 31, and arriving
there August 10. We reached Gibral
tar Saturday for provisions.
"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.
Drewery remained here to catch a
liner for Marseilles, where he will re

TAX CUT FRENZY
ASTORIA, Ore, Aug. 23. (AP)
With only a few hours devoted to
business today, delegates to the 30th
annual convention of the Oregon
State rederatlon of Labor gathered
at beach resorts of Clatsop county
this morning after having heard the
annual reports of the president and
secretary of the organization and the
report of the resolutions committee,
delivered Monday,
Ben T .Osborne, executive secre-tary-treaaurer
of the atate federation,
in his annual report recommending
the course of the convention warned
against being stampeded into demands
for drastic tax reduction, with cor
responding reduotton In service.
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

that does not explain why folks

overlook the truth that "Nature in

of that Lucky Strike purifying process,
