REFUSE TO Pm
SCHOOL TAX !

SEATTLE, Dec. 1.-Anti-vaccin.
ationists have not given up their
fight, despite the adverse decision
of Judge Morris in their test case
Their next move will be re-
fusal to pay taxes for the support
of the public schools.
Judge Morris, in his decision,
held that the action of the school
board in debarring unvaccinated
children, under the state law, was
valid, but that the truancy law
could not be enforced against par
ents whose children were kept out
of school because they were not
vaccinated.
The Observation-Disclosures contend
that, inasmuch as they are de-
prived of the public schools for
their children, they should be alb
solved from the payment of taxes
for the support of these schools.
That there will be an appeal
from Judge Morris decision to the
supreme court of the state is GER
tain. Some of the more ardent of
the ants ar ewilling to carry the
case to the supreme court of the
United States if possible, in spite
of the citations from this tribunal
in Judge Morris decision.

the executive committee discontin
uing the discounting of the com.
pany's lighting bills one-third on
the grounds that the company was
not furnishing the light for which
it was charging. This bid was re-
jected and the call for bids again
re-advertised in the hope that the
gas company might be induced to
tenter a competitive bid. When the
bid was opened it was decidedly
unsatisfactory to the board as it
provides for an increase in the cost
of each arc light, which wiuld
mean an additional expense of
about $4,000 per year to the city.
1t is generally believed that the
action of the mayor and executive
board in passing the matter up 10
the council for action is to illus
trate to that body the immediate
necessity of action looking toward
the establishment of municipal
lighting plant and the freeing of
the city from the burden of
lighting monopoly, which, burden
some at present, will become even
more unbearable as time goes by"
Seattle's profitable operation of
light plant is matter of state
knowledge. He is the evidence
from Tacoma:
Since the city has started sell
ing electric lamps to the people at
cost it has disposed of about $4,000
worth and saved the citizens over
$1,000 in cash. At the same time
the people have been getting the
benefit of the highest grade of
lamps. The manufacturers cannot
keep the city supplied fast enough
to accommodate the demand"

BIG PROFITS
IN TOBACCO

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-That the
federal prosecution has not affect
ed the profits of the American To-
bacco Co. was shown today by the
payment, in addition to the regular
quarterly dividend of 2k per cent,
of an extra dividend of tx per
cent, making the total dividend of
10 per cent paid on the common
stock of this company.
In this quarter of last year the
directors of the American Tobac-
CO Co. declared in addition to the
regular quarterly dividend of 2h
per cent an extra dividend of 2H
per cent making the total for the
year Is per cent. The extra pay
ment for this year brings up the
total dividends to be disbursed this
year to 321a per cent.
The payment of the regular and
extra dividends today will call for
$4,024,424- and when this has been
paid the holders of the common
stock of the American Tobacco
Co. will have received for 1908 in
dividends -$13,07S,7S0. Wall street
formed the opinion when the dis
bursement was announced that 10
per cent would be made the regu-
lar rate for this quarter, and that
in the coming year the dividend
would be brought up to 40 per
cent.

.PORTL and FEELS NEED
OF CITY LIGHT PLANT

The establishment of city light
ing plant, which Councilman Funk
is trying to bring to the light of a
thorough investigation at least as
a Spokane project, seems to be a
general issue in the west. Seattle
has made a success of it, Tacoma
has done likewise and now Port
land feels the need of it. Here is
the latest testimony to such need
from the latter city:
Declaring that the city is at the
mercy of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Co., and that the
bid for city lighting recently sub
mitted by the company is an out,
rageous holdup and another strong
illustration of the urgent need for
some kind of a municipal lighting
plant. Chairman Thomas c. Greene
of the lighting committee of the
executive board submitted a re-
port of that committee to the
board and that body, after consid-
ering the report, passed the light
ing matter up to the city council
without either approving or re-
jecting the companv's bid.
This action of the executive
committee is considered rather re-
markable in view of the fact that
the council long ago authorized the
executive board to let lighting
contract for a term of either three
or five years, and that this is the
second time bids have been sub
mitted for the contract by the car
company.
I'm the first instance there was
but one bid, that of the P. R., l.. &,
P. Co., and it was conditioned upon

DOG LEADS WOMAN TO

O'FALLON, ILL.,, Dec. John
Campbell went hunting rabbits, in
tending to return home by noon.
He had not returned home at 5
p. NJ, and his wife and daughter
in law decided to seek him.
AS they were on the point of
leaving, Campbell's small black
dog ran up to them and whined
and then started off across a field.
The women followed the dog and
finally saw it stop.
When they reached the spot the
dog was standing guard by the
body of his master, who had acct
dentally shot and killed himself.

DISASTROUS
FOREST FIRE
IGAN, CAUSING GREAT LOSS OF
LIFE AND PROPERTY.
Especial to the WORLDLY

Detroit, Mich, Oct 16.-It is re-
ported today that train bearing 200
refugees from Metz was ditched in
the midst of burning forest, and
grave fears are entertained for their
safety. Searching parties were forced
to retreat on account of the flames
and the sitting smoke.
After the fires had surrounded
Metz, attempts were made to save the
buildings, but all attempts were flu
tile. and the inhabitants gathered at
the depot to take train for Millers-
burg, twenty miles distant. The fires
evidently injured the track, which led
to the wrecking of the train.
Reports from Alpena indicate that
the fires are sweeping over the whole
of Northwest Michigan. The flames
have already swept over four counties
and the loss of life and property will
be heavy. Fourteen women and chill
dren are known to have persisted at
Metz. and reports indicate that the
greater part of the population of that
town have persisted.

The people of the Entiat Valley
want daily mail. They believe they

it. Accordingly, the matter is being

ment.
Messrs. D. M. Farris, w. M. Roun-

are in Wenatchee today. In discuss
ing the matter in the World Office
they said:
I'VE believe that the time has come
when we must have this daily de-
livery. At the present time it takes
four days to get letter to Wena.-
chez and back, although the distance
is but twenty-five miles.
1t is possible that such a service
may be established by which the peo-

five or six hours.
The petition will be flled within the

did not show up. When last seen
they were hot-footing across the big

The cause of the trouble was that
the young men, who were employed
by the rancher, were treated by him
to some wine out of barrel, which
he had stored in his cellar. Later,
the rancher went to town and the
