OREGON BOOT WIETH0D COLLECTING POLL TAX UNITED PlIESS LEASED WtllB.I The old cinch methods of harass ing men who have not paid their poll tax got a jolt last night in the city pnimntl. in a reuort from a commit tee that condemned tho practice of read nig off lists of men who have not paid their poll tax, or publishing their names. The council adopted a report con demning such methods, which have made the payment of this tax very odious. It puts an awful power In the hands of the collector to favor somo and hound others, and should have been broken up long ago. Tho city that would come out bold ly and abolish this tax would bo con sidered a progressive community, and laboring men would go to such a city to live.

Jim's plans aro up the air a bit yet He stated today that ho must hear from San Francisco and itowarden nan before ho can be certain of tho date of his departure. If he leaves Los Angele3 this week It is probable that he will go down to his moun tain camp abovo Santa Cruz next Monday. Word received from Farmer Burns states that the big grappler Is ready to start West at a moment's notice.

Local authori tieshave annealed to the government for aid In caring for the thousands of refugees from the stricken territory surrounding Mount Aetnn. Relief depots here are being over crowded with men and women who hitherto have been independent, but now nre in need of food, clothing nnd medicines. The extent of the destruction is so great that an appeal for financial aid Is asked, ns well ns for supplies. It Is considered probable here thnt thei government will vote an appropria tion to carry out relief work. A rumor spread here today that' Kins Victor Emanuel Is planning to visit Catania to personally supervise relief. The report caused joy, which quickly changed to sorrow when the rumor was denied. The people be lieve that If the king visited Catania he would take measures for speedy relief, and cause the governmental machinery to move faster.

The heavy Coat of ashes has choked all vegetation for miles nnd tho. country has taken on a desolate appearance. The impalpable dust from tho crater fills tho air to such an extent that breathing Is unpleas ant. During tho day the sun's rays caused tho floating particles to be come Illuminated with beautiful col ors, while at night tho fires of the volcano present an awe-Inspiring but torrlfying sight. An indication of the increasing violence of the eruption was the is suance of orders todny withdrawing troops irom tneir stations nearest tho mountain. Tno former is belnir de serted by every living cicature. En gineers are digging ditches and build ing clams to stop the main lava strenm, which has an averaco dnnth oi iz reet, ana a varying breadth of GOO to 1000 feet. The greatest damage thnt has beon wrought so far is not from lava, but from tho showers of little stones and ashes that aro falling over an area of mnny miles. Nearly tho whole coun try between Catania and the moun tain Is covered with ashes. This has killed vineyards and orchards and 'uced to poverty hundreds of farm ers. A population of about noo'.nnn t affected by the eruption, which now promises to be the greatest of mod ern times. A freakish feature of the eruption is the sparing of the pretty village of Nicolosi, on tho southern slope. The town is shut Jr. by foothills, which .averted the lava, and mountain air currents carried the. showers of ashes ovor the village. Nicolosi, however, is abandoned temporarily uy us uinaoitants.
