NEW DOCTRINE NEW PUBLISHING - HOUSE ' IN PROSPECT FOR SALEM. NEGOTIATIONS - ABE PENDING For Purchase of Sperry Block on Com znercial Street by Religions '.. Interests. ? t .... Articles of Incorporation Being; Pre pared for "Capitol Publishing Com pany" With Capital Stock of . f25r 000 Religious Periodicals. There are good prospects of , Salem having a new publishing house in the near future. It is practically augured that the establish me ill will be loeated here-, but the exact scope and magni tude of the venture cannot be learned at this early date. . It is known, how ever, .that the publication contemplat ed will be religious in nature, and that it wiJl expound the merils 'of the Apos tolic ' baptismal doctrine of a new branch of the Baptist denomination, ' which is . comparatively weak in 'I this state at the present time but .which i t is t desired to bring more into, promi nence in the futnre. .'' If the: present plans are' carried t.ut to a successful termination this new pr;icjll be located in the Sperry hloek on Commercial : street, negotia tions for the purchase of which ate now in progress,' , but have . lot rcn definitely consummated.

' . ''."; , , If the negotiations for the purchase of the Sperry boilding, which is bet-; tcr known as. the Damon block, are . satisfactorily closed, and it is thought they will be this week, it is proposed to install a modern printing establish ment, but whether or not it is proposed to issue anything except the religious periodical cannot be ascertained - at this time. Preparing to Incorporate. Rev. Capps has been laloring upon the realization of this project for sev eral months; in faef. it has been one of his principal objects in coming to this state, and his plans seem about to be realized. It is. understood,; from what is considered pretty reliable au thority, 'that- steps" are now being ta ken to organize a Vompany and that the articles of incorporation are 'now in process of completion and will be ready for, filing within a few days'.'" t It is stated that, the name of this new corporation will be the Capitol or Northwestern Publishing Company, and that its capitalization will be in the neighborhood of $25,000. The of fleer named will be Rev. G. W. Capps, president; Rev. William Short, secre tary, and Mr. Caldwell of Albany, trensnrer. It is also stated that the new interests have plenty of capital .behind, them '-to carry their proposition into execution, and that steps will J-e - taken to remodel and equip the head quarters immediately upon securing possession of the new property, which is one of th'e best located business properties in the city. Consideration Not Known. This new "Baptist doctrine, which is about to. be. introduced, in this state, differs from the regular Baptist doc trine of today in that baptisms arc not considered canonical unless they - be performed by a4 preacher who has him self Wen baptized by a duly ordained preacher.

Without doubt tbe petitions for the referendum or the general appropna- .? . . . . . . noa duj wm oe placed on me with the secretary of state today, which will have the effect of tying up the funds for the m&Tatenanee ef the different state institutons until the measure can be submit tea to the vote of the people at the June election next year, la tbe meantime the secretary of i state will be called upon to issue certificates io satisfaction of all claims against these institutions and no money will be forth coming upon them until the question of the adoption ! of the bill has been settled. Io ease a majority of the peo ple vote unfavorable to the bill there will be no available funds for the sup port of the state institutions, depend rngupon the passage of this bill for maintenance, improvements, ete until tbe meeting of tbe next legislature. ': The referendum of the appropriation bill, which carries with it provision for the payment or the salaries of the offi cers, teachers and employes of the sev era! penal, eelraosenary, educational in stitutions, etc,' raises the question again of whether cognizance will be taken of th'e act adopted by the last legislature, which provides that these salaries shall be paid monthly instead of quarterly, and that the secretary of stafe' is required to draw warrants for the run amount oi tne payrolls, as sud mitted by the superintendents or other duly authorized officials of those insti tntions. These payrolls, of eonrse, to be subject to the approval of the sec retary of state. The legislature of 1901 passed an act which directs the secretary of state, in the absence of funds, to pay any claim presented, to issue a certificate of audit, which eer ti flea te shall be non-interest bearing. AH Lies With Secretary of State, The act ot the last legislature, how ever, eontains a repealing clause which practically eliminates the issuance of certificates in this ease and makes it mandatory upon him to draw the war rant for the fall amount of the tav roll in favor of the proper official of the institution upon demand and upon his furnishing a surety bond in lull satisfaction ef the risk involved, and the superintendent is reqired to pay the employes the salaries due' them. When this act was passed by the leg islature the members had no idea of condition suca as this arising, and could not foresee the referendum movement against the appropriation bilL In view of this fact, and unless mandamus suit is brought against mm to compel Dim to follow out the provisions of the monthly salary act, it is quite probable that the secretary or state wiu eonsm er the intention of-the legislature rath er than fts act, and decline to observe this law on the ground that no funds have been appropriated upon which, to draw fhe warrants. ;It is not likely that mandamus pro ceedings will be instituted either, since none of the officials of the different in stitutions will feel ealled upon to take the initiative in the matter, while. the employes who would be apt to feel in clined to resort to the courts to sceure strict observance of the law, are not ia the financial condition to proseeute the ease. The question. will doubtless come up for consideration before the boards of trustees for the several state insti tutions bet ore the secretary of state will be called upon ror any aetion : in the matter, and it win depend to' a treat extent nnbn what . these boards decide as to what his attitude wilTbe.

Old Was Born in Germany. The oft-disputed question of who .is the oldest person in tne state has again been raised ,in. the person of a lady in Polk county, just across the river from this city, who claims she is 105 years old. This old lady bj the mother of Henry Benn. who resides upon farm in tb Spring; Valley neighbor hood. Mrs. lie no was born in Germany in the . latter part of 1799, and came to this country only a lew years ago, She is unquestionably the oldest per son in Marion and i'oia counties, ana nrobablv tbe oldest in the state. Al though she has attained this exceed ingly ripe age she still retains her full mental faculties, is perfectly competent to take eare of herself and has an ex ceptionally good memory.. She speaks the German language exclusively and understands little Enzlish. Thomas M Wann, who is employed as deputy assessor, for the Eola and. Spring Valley districts or 1'oik. county, is tne one who discovered the aged lady while assessing the property in that neighborhood Mr. Wann sAys that the assessment work is very nearly eomplet ed in Polk eotmty." While property values have made' nO material increase, according to his figures, the improve ments made during the past year win more than make up for the totnl amount of the $300, exemption, which was in cluded in last: year's assessment, but is deducted f rem, that of this year. 280329.85, which will have to be paid out of the general' fund, notwithstand ing t!Te petitions for the referendum of the general appropriation .but.- lnese items include standing annual . . allow ances of $17,500 for the support of the University of tJrrgon; $45,000 for the maintenance of the Oregon K at ion al Guard; 25,000 for the support of the State Agricultural college, and $1,500 each- for the different' agricultural so cieties in the- state, aside -frtrni the state board of agriculture, which is en titled to a biennial appropriation to be made by the legislature,' which usually amounts to $10,000. -.'.

Gentlemen: On behalf of' the Taxpayers League of the city of Salem, Or., I am requested to acknowledge receipt of your com munication of tbe 12th Inst enclos ing' formal resolutions of tCe council relative to "proposed repairs to5 the 1. Z I Asf i td a! w a nil ' ' hi i an Z;: n aftemenf; "of th ition taken thereon Vy said league at a meet ing held on Monday, the '15th inst.', and to submit a brief statement lor the reasons for such action. There is evidently a miaappreben sion upon the part of. the council as to the action which has been taken by the league in submit ting'in detail the views in regard to the preset condi tion of. the briJges of the eify and the probable cost of needed Vepairs. Its action was based upon tbe report of a committee of its members, who were selected because of their supposed ex periesce In tbe mattter of street and bridge building. This . " committee made a careful examination of ; the bridges in company with oij of the best known bridee builders in ; tbe state. ' Upon the completion of its ex smination the committee submitted detailed report setting forth that "after an examination of the piling, bents, strineers and floors of the ; va rious 'bridges we find that they csn be placed in safe, serviceable condition at an expense, not exceeding the following sums and total.?' This is followed by a detailed statement indicating mat the bridges specified can be placed in irooil condition for the total sum or $1610. This report, which was adopted oy the leacrue and by it submitted to the council, closed , with the following words: "In ouryv opinion, if the sums we have estimated are judiciously ex pended upon tie bridges designated, thev will be made, eood and sate lor the next foor or (five years." Not in the Business. The report has been construed as 'proposition" upon the part of the league, to enter , upon tha contract for dome the work proposed, and it has been invited to at" once file a bond in the. sum of $5000 to carry out such eon tract, and" to report the action taken at a meeting ot the couneil to be held this (Tuesday) evening. The construc tion put npon the aetion"of the league is unwarranted, and the decision of the council to .Ignore the fcugsestion of the league unless it shall at once bind itself ia the sum of $5000 to enter into contract to build the bridge eer tainly has not the appearance of meet ing the suggestions of the ileaguevjn the same spirit in which they are of fered. The league cannot engage . to give any bond for the reason that it is . , - ' kl . t . . UOL engaged in me .uuiur ii tun- tracting. and .lor the very simple and sufficient reason that.it has no finan cial interest:' in the - work other than the entire body of taxpayers for whom the work is to be done. The jengnfj however, whoso member ship, is believed to represent nearly two-thirds, ot the taxable property, of the city, still' adheres to the opinion already expressed that the work cov ered by its report can be done for the sum sueeested, and it has the repeated assurance of a competent bridge build er that -he will contract to ilo the work for the sum" named, and I am re quested to notify you that it has by formal resolution requested that1 the council advertise in tbe usual way for the submission, of bids for the " work of placing tbe defective bridges coV' ered ov its report in cooi ani sur- stahtial 'condition.' Ia submitting this resolution the league desires to make it clear that its objections to bonding the city at this time in the sum of $30,000 for" new bridges are based pri marily upon the fact that the taxpay ers of this ciTy". and school district are already in debt to the amount of alout $250,000; that our tax levy amounfs to 40 mills, and that over one-third of our revenues are consumed in the pay ment of interest-alone. ' Under other conditions the extensive plans contem plated by the council for tbe building of permanent concrete bridges vepnld not be open to the objections tnat ap pear in the minds .of . wany taxpayers at this time to be insurmountable, ne- spectfnJTy Submitte, : ;r i" H-The Taxpayers' Lea'gu of Ralem. .

If he has paid the full year's taxes in his home county ne takes the receipt for the amount rer eeived in tbe foreign county, which en titles him to a rebate from the county in which be belongs. The money de rived from this source goes Into a sep arate .fund, known as the "migratory stock fund," the net balance of which, after all rebates have In-en deducted, goes into the general fund. . In tbe event of non-pavment f the amount of taxes levietl npon his flock by the 1wner,and he has mr security to offer for it, an attachment is at once levied upon the flock, which shall apply as a lien to secure the payment of the taxes. In this case the taxes must bo paid upon tbe stock before it will be allowed to leave the county. The fact that each county is permit ted to levy its own rate of taxation npon migratory livestock, irresiKctlve of tbe rate levied .by other counties. raised the question of unequal taxation; while the fact that the flocks are al most continually upon the move when grazing, raised tbe question of whether the legislature has the right to deter mine in which county the property siiouut be assesses.

MERCILESS WAR UNKNOWN DOCS MAKING RAIDS UPON POLK COUNTY FLOCKS, SLAUOIITERINO SIIEEP. On Other Hand, Some Unknown Parties Are Waging War Against Canine Kingdom and Poisoning Them by the Score No Clue to Their Identity. The sheepmen of Tolk county are ex- rv ir in i ii v sm' in ii si niiiiruii i w wis iiiii; which are slaughtering their sheep by the scores, and they seem powerless to prevent it. Hardly a nlht passes by . but sofne flock is pounced down upon by the ravenous and murderous dogs,, which leave a broad and bloody path In their wake to greet the farmer when he rise from bed and goes out to view his flock in the. morning. The latest raid to have been reported was upon, the K. M. jYoung flock, near Itirkn-all, and another flock upon the lien Hay den place, in thai same vicinity, on Monday morning. It tint Innwn ftiA evfif mimliop tt sheep lost as a result of this last raid, but Mr. Young, when driving to thi city from Independence on Monday, was horror-stricken io see more than a dozen idieep scattered about along the -t roadside, the majority of which were dead, but there was a number that had been terribly . wounded and lacerated by the cruel teeth of the bloodthirsty and murderous canines. The sheep were not killed outright , by the dogs, but what made the scene more heartrending and sickeniag, Mr. Young says, was ' tbat many of tl:eiu had been attacked and great, gaping hole eaten into their loins, flanks and shoulders, and they were lying and running around, blrat- . ing piteously, until relieved of "VlTcJr . nvonie by death, either by exhaustion or human agency. While tbe dogs are preying upon tho Hocks of sheep, they, too, are being preyed upon by some unknown person or persons, and are Wing killed off by, j the hundreds by poisoning.. A relent less war has been waged upon the dog kingdom in Polk county, and they are being killed by the score, until their number is being gradually rehired so , greatly that there is a prospect of their '. becoming exterminate,! ultimate! v. Those who have been dealing out death' ' to tbe dogs across tbe river lo not eon- fiaa their efforts to one locality or neighborhood, but they operate all over the couaty and unsparingly. Ho gener ally, and successfully have the dg poi soner been operating that an effort was made to learn their identity, With a view of prosecuting them, but, al though over forty witnesses were ub- pocnaed and brought Into eourt and cross-questioned 'at Dallas . !a,it werk, not the slightest clue could be ob tsiaed, and the proceeding . cost tho ' county a considerable snm of money. The suspicion Da been entertained tbat the owners of shewn had been do- 1 ing tbe peisoning, in revenge for th " outrage perpetrate.I upon their flock, but there is no evidence that leads to this conclusion, and it ia merely con jecture.
