Ready for Signature.

The house finally passed the ROSS 2-cent rate bill today, after action had been delayed for several days by the adoption of various amend ments. The bill is now ready to go to the governor and will probably become a law within few days. As amended it provides that it shall not go into effect until sixty days after it's passage. This is intended to give the railroads time to rearrange their rate schedules.
 Good Roads Endorsements.
 A committee from the state Good Roads Association appeared before both the senate and the house this afternoon and reported that the as- sociation had endorsed three bills which are now pending in the legis- lature. These measures are the Arnold bill, providing for the build ing of county roads on the inn provement district plan; the Mont gomery bill, providing for the work ing of convicts on the public roads, and the Beck bill, which provides for state aid and supervision for 1oat building. The Good Roads Associa- ton selected these measures from among the many already intro duced at this session, dealing with the subject of good roads, and an effort will be made to secure the passage of the three measures,
 Seven Trustees.
 The senate today deferred action on the appointment of university trustees submitted by Governor Lit tie. This action was taken in ex- ecutive session, but it is understood that action was delayed for the pur- pose of giving time to amend the law governing the appointment of the trustees The board now con- sists of six members, but this law was passed before the creation of seventh congressional district. It is proposed to amend the law, so as to provide for board of seven members, one from each district. To avoid any conflict later, the senate decided to defer action on the aD- Dointments now in the hands of that body.
 Toney in the Fight. 
 The anti-fraternity fight again oc- cupied a large part of the attention of the senate this afternoon. Senator Toney of Pine Bluff, took the initla- tive in fighting the second measure which was introduced by Senator Floyd. Senator Toney moved that the bill bu iudHfri., lv postponed, but this motion was lost in spite of the hard fight made by the senat [ from Jefferson.
 X "Vct" Examination. i A bill was inlr.a.,!te, in the se1.ate by Senator Harrison, to regulate vet erinary practice in the state, provid- ing for the creation of a state board to examine applicants for license as veterinary surgeons.
 New Antitrust Bill.
 A new antitrust bill was introduc- ed in the senate today by Senator 1 Wingo. It is designed to prevent one corporation from exercising control over another. It prohibits the stock of corporations of this state from be- ing purchased, acquired, controlled or voted by another corporation, and prohibits corporations of another state, a majority of the stock of which is owned or controlled by another cor i poration, from engaging in business in this state.

History OF Sancm social Organization
That Has been Continuously

a meeting OF gentlemen was held
Nov. 10. 1895. at the willamette
Hotel, who called themselves for the
time being the Salem Social Club.
The organization was a popular idea
and grew rapidly into a large mem
bership, OF which H. p. Mccormack
was the fiust chairman and s. w.
Thompson, secretary. The club
made It's organization permanent by
election OF Phil. Metschan. then
State Treasurer 10 the presidency.
and Chas. ID. Gabrielson. Secretary.
Mr.. Mccormack was made vice-preEi-
dent. The upper stary OF the Burke
block was fitted up for permanent
club rooms. and were the first so

social organizations that exist In the
Capital City Is the Salem boosters
Club, of which Chas. l.. McNary is
the president. r. y. Kay, vice-presi-

The Board of Governors Is composed
of the above-named officials, and II.
w. Meyers, Aug. Huckesteln, +. q.
Deckabach. II. II. olinger. George
f. Rodgers, and Paul Wallace. The
membership Is composed OF the best
brain and Drawn, the best red blood
and. stout hearts OF the best inter-
Tor city OF the northwest The work
Iof the organization Is done through
committees. and they do not wait
a year before acting. They are ready
to go at work on n moments notice,
are willing TO take hold OF anything
that has any indication OF bearing
fruit for the commercial or indus
trial development OF the community.
The whole force OF the Boosters club
Is expended on increasing tho dln-
ner pail brigade. The organization
has several red hot schemes up its
sleeve but they cannot be given out
on paper. They will not show on
the surface until closed, coppered
and spiked fast to stay in this COM
munity. There is not a man with
a particle OF patriotic impulse for
the good OF the town who should
not be enlisted in the ranks OF tho
Boosters.

MODEL COUNTY GOVERNMENT

, county governments In the state.
The county has no debt. Warrants
are AZ par and the treasury has a
surplus. The county officials are
all Republicans, nearly all young
men. and very competent for their
respective positions.
County Clerk Allen was sworn In
July 1906. He wos deputy under
the late lamented Lorenz V. Ehlen
for two years and then become his
successor He was also bookkoeper
at the State Insane Asylum for six
years and before that was a farmer
lat Silyerton. Lou Aldrlch was his
first deputy before taking a position
at the Ladd & Bush bank.
The county assessors ofIice has
been In the hands of Fred ]. Rice
since January Il, 1905, with w. w.
Hall as his chief deputy. Mr., Rice
has shown a disposition to take the
office out OF the old ruts and has
changed the basis OF valuation from
one-third values to a cash valuation.
This runs Marion county values up
from eight million dollars TO thirty
one million. The past year he has
slapped on 81 million mostly on
corporations and timber lands.
Smaller property has been lowered.
One water power and millsite has
been raised from $4,000 to $751;
600.
The story of Sheriff Culver's Of
ficial career reads almost like a ro-
nance. He was city surveyor four
years, county surveyor four years,
county roadmaster two years, and Is
now serving his second term as
sherir. Taking office July 1, 1904,
he has made an ideal official, and /
has few enemies In the county. His ,
two assistants are Harry Minto and I
VIM. Eseh. Some OF the noted Grim
inal cases Culver and his men have
worked on are the arrest and cou-
yiction of the two men who work
ed the guns into the state prison
with which Tracy and Merrill made
their escape. One of these was Chas.
Montee, who was sentenced for life
and the other was convicted OF steal
ing a team. This man Harry Wright
got out and vas captured In wash
Ington for the same offense and Is
serving twenty years in Waiia
Walla. Culver was in the big Smith
chase. the man who caused the
death OF sherin Shafer. and Captain
OF Woodburn. He was
killed at Candy after a six day hunt
Sheriff Culver has a rogue's GAL
Ierv Of over a hundred criminals
who have been In state prison, or been
wanted there, taken by himself and
for future use In indenu-
fcation. In working up a case OF
hunting down criminals these chro-
