of Oregon College.

The graduation exercises of the Or
egop Agricultural college opened al
10 O'Clock Thursday, attended by an
immense crowd despite the drizzling
rain, says a Corvallis item. Hundreds
OF alumni and other visitors from all
over Oregon were present. The Arm

bate for the Catch cup, held last
night, resulted in victory for the Ami

-Four Roads Would Be Built But for

Improvements Kept Out OF Oregon
by a Few ObstructiOnists.

VIII the entire summer of 190'
pass away without accomplishment o
anything in the way Of completing
the many important railroad projects
now under way in Oregon? 1t be-
gins to look that way, and the very
people who will be most directly bene-
fitted are the ones who are responsi.
BILE for the delays, says the Portland
Telegram.
The matter has really reached a
serious stage and practically no pre-
liminary or construction work is be-
ing done on four distinct big projects
one steam and the other three elec-
trical. The aggregate expenditure
involved runs into the millions, and
the money is on hand to be put to
use. Yet 1t is idle, has been idle for
months, and indications are that 1t
will lie idle for months to come. The
four projects referred to are:
The Oregon Electric company's ex-
tension from Portland to Hillsboro.
The Mount Hood Railway & Pow
er company line into Portland.
The United Railways line from
Portland to Forest Grove and Hills
boro.
The Pacific Railway & Navigation
Company's line from Portland to Til
lamook.
The one great obstacle in the way
OF pushing the plans of these corpor-
atIons to immediate completion is the
obstructionist tactics of property
owners along the proposed rights of
way. More deplorable still is the fact
that in each instance only a mere
handful OF property owners has been
able to delay progress for months. In
the case OF the oregon Electric line,
Just two property owners have been
abandon all work. have compelled the
company to remove the steel and 9TH
er material already on the ground and
the throwing of hundreds Of men out
OF employment
Each of these men is asking more
than the company believes his prop
erty Is worth, and insists that the
company erect a permanent depot on
his property. This the company has
steadfastly refused to do I'm all cases
on the ground that 1t feels better able
to judge where the prospective traf-
flc conditions will require stations
and depots. both freight and passen,
ger. This matter, the company main
tains, is governed entirely by the ra-
pidity of development OF the various
sections tapped by the road.
In the case OF the Mount Hood line
five property-owners controlling less
than three-quarters of mile OF right
of-way territory, have obseructed the
company's operations, and II may
even be found necessary for the COM
pany to build clear around Gresham
a prospective station on the line, for
II is In that neighborhood that most
of the difficulty has been encounter
ed. A few other landowners. some
on the north side and the rest on
the south side of Mount Tabor, have
baffled all attempts OF the company
to secure a satisfactory route at fig
lres that II considers reasonable.

MAY SUE PAPER TRUST.
Department. of Justice Has Now
Gathered Sufficient Evidence.

1t is expected that the department
of justice in the near future will
bring suits against the paper trust
says the Washington correspondent
of the New York Times, on the
ground that 1t is operating in re-
straint of trade. Agents of the de-
partment have been at work in New
York for some time, and evidence is
now in such shape that actions may
be commenced.
The greatest secrecy is being main
tained at the department of justice.
and none of the officials will either
acknowledge or deny that such liti-
cation is contemplated. 1t was de-
MED emphatically, however, that the
department would wait or consider
itself bound to postpone action in the
prosecution of the paper trust until
the congressional committee finished
its labors of investigation.

BOOSTER TELLS Of
LAND MONOPOLY
BIG HOLDINGS ARE CURSE
OF THE VALLEY COUNTIES
Correspondent 10 Salem Statesman
Says Il. NJ. Croisan Holds Sufficient
Land to Support $50 Families Ad-
jacent to Salem-GrOwth 70 Salem
Is Held Back.

That land monopoly is not only ag-
itating eastern oregon counties, but
Willamette valley as well, is shown by
the following letter from "a Booster
, to the Salem Statesman concerning
the immense holdings of Salem citi-
zens. The letter is as follows:
The greatest drawback to the de-
velopment of this country is the large
tracts of land in the hands of a few
| people. For instance. / know of my
personal knowledge of one man, E.
NJ. Croisan, has in his own name and
land within from two to seven miles
of the city, some of the finest garden,
grain and fruit land on eartn.
Take, for instance the large tract
near the B. l. Ferguson cherry or
chard in Polk county. If this splen-
did tract of land was cut up into 10
acre tracts it would make homes for
rs families. This is as good as the
Ferguson land. and some of II is bet
ter for garden purposes.
MI NIOlSdu also has large DOOy
of land southwest of the CITY, of some
500 acres. A lot of this is the best
prune land in existence being one
and half miles west of Liberty, the
best prune district in the world
I say nothing against Mr.. Croisan
as an individual but I condemn him
for not dividing up this land and al
lowing actual homeseekers to come
in and build up the country. Such
men are a hindrance to the develop
ment of the community in which they
live and there should be a law to
compel them to disgorge this land, all
but 100 acres.
Now this man is holding land
enough to settle $50 families and give
them a comfortable living, whereas
there is now not to exceed half doz-
en- families on all of this 1900 acres.
Just see what this would mean for
Salem If cut up into small tracts.

WAR TALK
YELLOW.
THE PEOPLE OF JAPAN HAVE PRO-
FOUND FRIENDSHIP FOR AMER
ICA, SAYS DE FOREST.

That yellow journalism in Japan
and America is responsible for war
talk, and that among the people OF
Japan there is the greatest aloha for
America, is the main point of remarks
made this morning before the Min
isterial Union, by the Rev. j. H. De
Forest, D. D., who is one of the most
noted Christian workers in; Japan. The
Rev. De Forests remarks were in
some degree a further exposition OF
what he said last night at the Central
Union, church, regarding the friendl1-
ness q Japan and her devotion to
peace and civilization. D..
The noted speaker gave a series OF
very convincing reasons, drawn from
his personal knowledge of Japan and
her people, why war talk was utterly
beyond reason. He gave proofs of his
own, showing the disposition of the
people Of Japan to regard the United
States as their greatest friend among
the nations. The Rev. De Forests re-
marks were full of impressive argl-
ments from his personal experiences
showing much knowledge Of the jap
anese people.

SUPREME COURT FAVOR OF GROWERS IMPORTANT
REsPECT-ALL LAND AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
GROWING PINEAPPLEs MPT-THE QUESTION TAXA
TIoN OF GROWING CROPS.

The Supreme Court handed down a
decision this morning, written by JUS
tice Ballou, in the pineapple tax ap-
peal cases which is of great import
ance in the Territory. 1t is held that
under the law pineapple canneries are
not exempt from taxation. This is OF
course favorable to the Territory. On
the second point, whether the grow
ing crop on land over forty acres in
extent is taxable or not opinions still
differ. From the wording of the de-
cision it appears that further proceed
ings to settle the matter are necessary.
The decision holds that THE statute
exempts from taxation all personal
property and all real property other
than land, solely and actually used in
the cultivation and production of pine
apples" Under this it holds that the

SUED-ARSON MYSTERY.

One Morimatsu gambler who wins
easily and loses hardly and usually
fights when he, loses, was in police
court this morning held for the cir
cult court. He will be tried for as
sault. A deadly weapon IN the form
of a short Japanese sword is one OF
the exhibits i nthe case.
Complaint has been lodged at the
police station by a Japanese who says
he was on Saturday night held up by
five men on Nuuanu street and only
made good his escape after a fierce
battle and hot run. He thinks his

Portuguese. Detective aKIakiela is on
the scent.
Kimura, Japanese, is under arrest
for investigation on suspicion as re-
suit of the report of a Hawaiian at
the police station Sunday night to the
effect that a Japanese had attempted
to burn the house of Mrs. Luther Will
cox at Diamond Head about $3.50. The
informant gave no details.
Yesterday afternoon 1t was observed
at King and Bethel streets that two
hacks were apparently racing. One
caught up with the other and both
stopped. A Chinese jumped from the
pursuing hack and opened an argu-
ment with the woman IN the other
rig. A policeman took in the situation
and all hands, hacks and all, were
taken to the police station. 1t devel-
oped that the man was chasing his
wife who was leaving home not to re-
turn. The police did not further in
terfere.

NOMINATION
PAPERS REFUSED

Deputy Attorney General Whitney
stated this afternoon at 8 O'Clock that
his opinion, rendered at the request
of Secretary Mott-Smith, would be to
the effect that the nomination papers
of the three candidates for the house
from Kauai, which were rendered to
the Secretary yesterday, should be ac-
cepted.
This still leaves the Democratic can
didate from Kauai for the Senate out
in the cold. According to Deputy
Attorney General Whitney, nomination
papers which were rendered today are
too late for acceptance, which prevents
Mr. J. S. Chandler from entering the
contest. 1t is likely that the Secre-
tary will be mandamused to force his
acceptance Of Chambers papers, on
the ground that they were ready on
Sunday but that the Office was closed

COUNTRY SCHOOLS
MUCH CROWDED

Letters received by Superintendent
of Education Babbitt from the other
islands indicate large increase in the
attendance in the public schools, which
are even more overcrowded than in
this city. At Waimea, Kauai, there
are 800 pupils and more wishing to
come in. Cyril o. Smith, principal of
the Kapaa school, writes that he has
fifty applicants for whom he has neith-
er rooms nor teachers. He also tells
of an excursion to the Kappa lands
given to 200 of the children by Manager
Fairchild of the Makee Sugal Company,
candidate for the Senate. After the
trip they visited Col. Spalding's beach
home and INDUCED in lunch and a
swim.
The report comes from Haena, Kauai
that the school is so crowded that there
are 81 children in a room 18 by 20 feet
which was intended to seat but S6.
Inspector Charles King tells Of dam
age done in the Puma district
by the recent earthquake, several
school water tanks being knocked
down and stone walls destroyed. At
Kamaea the whole building was moved
two feet and tipped over, the lanai go-
ing in one direction and the roof III
another.

IAUKEA'S
CHOICE
SHERIFF THINKS SHERIFF. IS
RIGHT MAN FOR SHERIFF-HIS
MANA.

Special Police Oficer Mana resigns
his Office this week to go out actively
campaigning for County Sheriff Curtis
P. Iaukea for the latter's reelection
as an Independent runner.
1t has already been announced that
Police Clerk and Democratic nominee
for Deputy Sheriff Charles Rose re-
signs on Saturday, to be relieved by
Tim Lyons, but Rose goes out to work
for himself, although he will still give
the department some of his time bring
ing his books to date.
Mana will be Iaukea's right-hand
man in canvassing for votes.
Il will depend on literature and a
house toulouse canvas" said Sheriff
Iaukea to Star man this morning,
'for 1 expect to do very little talking.
1 can be found at this Office between
the usual hours right along, except
that may go around the island the
last week before election"
Speaking of his independent candi-
dacy, the Sheriff went on to say:
''If the people want police depart
ment entirely free from politics, 1t
seems that the election of a man not
in any way identified with partisan
politics is the right course"

growing crop of pineapples is exempt
from all taxation.
Another part of the decision says:
"The exemption OF forty acres would
necessarily carry an exemption of the
growing crop thereon"
Under this it may be argued that il
the exemption of 40 acres carries with
it the exemption of the growing crop,
the taxation of more than 40 acres
would carry with it the growing crop
thereon.
Another very important point in the
decision in which the Territory was
sustained is in the constitutional point
raised by the pineapple companies that
the change made by the Legislature in
cutting off the period of total exemp-
tion by one year was not legal. The
court holds "A general exemption from
taxation for a definite period is re-
pealable by subsequent legislation"
