iNVOKES REFERENDUM.
Linn County Changers Hold Up Uni
versity Appropriation.

Albany-The University of Oregon
appropriation bill is to be referred to
the people, Efforts of Linn county
Grangers to hold up the university bill
eliminated in a meeting of representa-
tives OF all grange organizations OF Linn
county in Albany.
Besides the Grangers there were in
attendance President P. l.. Campbell
of the university, and Senator NJ. A.
Miller, member of the board of re-
gents OF the school. These men pre-
sented very strongly the university s
side of the case showing the need OF
more money than was appropriated.
The 1926, 900 carried in the bill was
segregated by President Campbell, who
explained the use to be made of every
dollar. But the Changers were obdu-
rate and at the close of the conference
decided to use the referendum to hold
the appropriation up until the next
general election, when the people will
determine the fate OF the school.
But little argument was used in sup
port of the position of the Grange, 9TH
er than ''retrenchment. 1t was also
decided to have reproduced an editorial
printed in the Oregonian of Saturday,
February II, 1905, entitled "Machine
Made Citizens" and scatter thousands
of copies over the state.

GENERAL BARiLLAS SLAIN.
Man Who Might Have Been PresIden
Coldy Slain.

City of Mexico, April 9.-Manue.
Barrillas, ex-President of Guatemala,
was assassinated here Saturday evening
as he sat in streetcar. AS the car
stopped young man II years of age
climbed aboard and rushed up to the
general and stabbed him twice, the
first blow severing the jugular vein,
the second cutting his face. The gen.
eral died instantly. The assassin was
captured. He gave his name as Jose
Estrada, and his home as Ocos, Guate-
mala.
Ex-President Barrillas was generally
considered as strongly associated to the
present government of Guatemala. He
was 50 years OF age and was strong
possibility for the next presidency of
the country. Members of the Guate
mala colony here think Estrada was a
paid assassin.

WORST YET TO COME,
Chinese Famine Drives People to Dig
Up and Eat Dead.

Washington, April $50 correct al
erroneous report that has found genera
circulation with harmful results, the
Red Cross has issued the following
statement in regard to tue Chinese fam.
inc:
The famine in China is unprece-
dented in severity, and the period OF
greatest agony is yet to come. Many
weeks must pass before there will be
relief from new crops, and millions to-
day are kept alive only through the
contributions to the American mission
and Red Cross society from the Ameri-
can people who sent their donations to
Washington. These two great organi-
cations are working together for the
common cause and have furnished over
two-thi1ds of all relief supplies sent to
China.
"The following cablegram, received
by the editor of the Christian Hera Id
from the editor of the North China
News, terrible as it may seem, speaks
only the truth:
Shanghai, April 6.-Klcpsch, New
York.-Approaching period of severest
pinch. Authentic instances of ccrpses
exhumed, canibalism. Foreign relief
effectively, maintaining whole
districts until harvest
"When people have been reduced
to such straits that they will dig up
and eat their own dead, the severity
and wide extent of the famine can be
realized, -

AlASkANS WELL PLEASED.
Governor Hogatt is Not in Favor Of
Changing Government.

Seattle, Wash, April 9.-W. B
Hogatt, governor of Alaska, reached
Seattle tonight from Washington.
"We got almost everything we asked
of the last session of congress-" be
said. "The people of Alaska are we'll
satisfied with Uncle Sans treatment
of them. This cry for a territorial
form of government comes from polit-
ical discontents. To have this change
in rule would mean an increase in tax
alton of 25 cents per capita for the
small population. Together with the
fact that the country is only partly de-
veloped this burden is not yet warrant
ed. We can very well afford tc go
along as we are despite the howl of pol
iticians.n

TORNADO IN
GULF STATES
Portions of Four Towns Devastated
by Wind Storm.
Insane Asylum at jackson, Louisiana,
Demolished damage is Placed at
,OOO-Storm. Iraceabe tor
800 Miles in Louisiana, Missis-
spp and Alabama.

New Orleans, La, April 6.-Probably
70 lives were lost today by tornado
which swept across portions of three
Gulf states and which was traceable for
a distance of 800 miles. The tornado
moved from west to east over the south
ern extremity of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, and striking into Alabama for
snort distance. Portions of four towns
were destroyed, and damage approxi-
mating $500, 600 was done.
The tornado began at Alexandria,
La, soon after ! O'Clock yesterday
morning, instantly killing four persons
there, fatally injuring three and seri-
ously wounding l3 others.
Soon after daylight it reached the
Mississippi river, killing four persons
at Jackson, La, while at Bayou Sara,
La, at least half dozen others were
killed. There was one fatal injury at
jackson.
The tornado next appeared at Car
son, Miss, where great property dam
age was done. About noon near Selma,
Ala, the inhabitants saw the clouds
rise into the air and the storm disap-
peared.
The insane asylum at Jackson, La,
was almost wholly wrecked, with loss
of about 5000, 900. In addition to three
female inmates killed many sustained
injuries. Two negroes were killed on IA
nearby plantation. Reports from the
surrounding country indicated that

TO CREATE NEW STATE.
Spokane Chamber of Commerce Be-
gins to Boom the Project.


Spokane, Wash. :, April S.-By max
ing public today the report of the "nev
state' committee and announcing its
adoption by the chamber of commerce
Secretary l.. g. Monroe, of the latte,
body, formally launched the campaign
for the creation of a new commonwealth
comprising the "Inland Empire" fo,
which the name "Lincon" has been
most frequently suggested.
The report of the committee. which
was adopted unanimously, consists of a
review of conditions that brought about
what it terms the unnatural arrange
ment OF boundaries now existing in the
Northwest, advances reasons for the
construction of new state and suggests
the following boundaries should be ap-
proximated;
That the 45th degree of latitude, or
the present north line of the state of
wyoming, extended, be designated as
the northern boundary of the state of
Idaho, and the 120th degree of longi-
tude, or the eastern boundary of the
state OF California, carried north, until
it intersects the 45th degree of latitude,
be designated as the western boundary
of the state of Idaho, and that the east
ern California line, carried to British
Columbia, be designated as the eastern
boundary of the state OF Washington,
thereby leaving a new state to be here
after named and from which GENITAL
city should be selected as the capital,
comprising the panhandle of Idaho,
Northeastern Oregon and Eastern
Washington,
Ihe report goes on to say:
This proposition should not come
from any one town or locality, but
should be brought from all the principal
towns north of the said 45th degree of
latitude, and, if possible to secure their
consent and appreciation, then the mat
ter should be taken to the principal
towns and cities south of the said 45th
degree OF latitude, to secure, if possible,
their CO-CperatiCn.'
The committee recommended that the |
chamber OF commerce send copies of !
this report to the various cities inter
ested, placing the matter before the
board of trade, city council, or other
body of like nature, to the end that
steps be taken looking to the necessary
action by congress.
The report points out that the PAN
handle of Idaho is emf off from the
south by an impenetrable mountain
barrier, and that the south has domi-
mated legislation to the exclusion of the
interests of the panhandle; also that
similar condition exists in Washing
on, where the Cascade mountains con-
titute a natural barrier.
1t is argued that similar conditions
'xist between Eastern and Weston Or
gon to even more marked degree

May Be Held to Three Inspectors

Salem-State Labor Commissioner

things to fit the new law, authorizing

ors Of mills, factories and workshops

spection districts, but now is afraid the
revenues from the act, which levies an
annual inspection fee of $40 upon each
factory, mill and workshop in the state
where machinery is used, will not sup
port tour inspectors, and he has about
come to the conclusion that he will
have to divide the state into three dis
trlcts in order to make both ends meet.
lie cannot figure that the act will pro-
duce much more than SIC. 600 per year
revenue from this tax, and the inspect
ors are entitled to 81 per day for each
days actual work together with expense
allowance of about $4 per day.

NEW STATE IMPROBABLE.
Spokane Plan Regarded With Amused
liberation by Conservatives.

Portland, April 9.-Though they re
cognize that there has long existed il
certain sections of the Inland Empire
latent dissatisfaction with existing
state boundaries, conservative citii ans
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho are
inclined to regard with amused tolera-
tion the Spokane project to create a
new state through the secession of the
disgruntled communities from their
parent commonwealth.
Even in Eastern Washington, where
most of the population OF Spokane's
new state OF Lincoln would be centered
the sentiment in favor of the creation
of new commonwealth is by no means
unanimous, Many conservative citi-
zens are of the belief that the time is
not yet ripe for actual separation, and
even among those who indorse the Spo-
kane scheme, it is recognized that there
would be serious problems to face were
the present states TO say: BLESS you,
children, 60 in peace. "
In large measure, the differences that
have brought about the desire for sep
aration are political, and it cannot be
overlooked that other political jealous
les would spring up to fill the new
state of Lincoln with discord and heart
burnings. Already two Inland En-
pre cities, if not more are looking with
green eyes upon Spokane's assumption
that she is to be the capital of the
new state. The politicians OF the dis
communities who are now in
power can be depended upon to oppose
from the word 60 any move that would
impair their influence and drag them
lway frcm the public crib where they
ire now feeding.
