INSISTS ON
LOW RATE

Councilman Ostrander said today
that he would insist on his ter
minal rate provision in the North
Coast franchise when the applica-
ton came before the council for
hearing tonight. t is generally be-
Iced that other questions pertain
ing to establishment of crossings
have been settled, although there
may be some trouble yet west of
Hangman creek. Street vacation
issues, notably Wall street, are still
to be adjusted.
The terminal rate provision will
prove a sticker, as President Stra-
horn of the North Coast notified
the council before that if this was
insisted on the road would have to
go elsewhere to secure terminals.
He said today that he expected the
franchise to pass eventually.
Reported purchases of the Sacred
Heart hospital site on Front and
adjoining property, presumably for
railroad purposes. have revived
the rumor that the deals are being
made by the Milwaukee. Teh Spo-
kane & Eastern Trust and North
west Loan & Trust companies ap-
pear to be handling the deals, with
w. C. Sivyer acting as agent.
The Gail Dray interests formerly
held an option on the hospital site
for $35O,O0O, but 1t is reported that
the property has been sold lower,
ALTHOUGH still ahOva the $500 600
mark. The total amount for the
various pieces of property involved
is quoted at 100000.

RIOT
IN COURT
(By United Press.)


PENDLETON, Ore, July %
The hurting of an inkwell was the
feature of a rough and tumble fight
between Judge James A. Fee. rep
resenting contesting heirs, and D.
w. Bailey. attorney for Mrs. Mabel
Warner, that enlivened this morn
ings hearing of the WarnerY oung
will case. The fight lasted two
rounds despite efforts to separate
the belligerents.
The dispute arose over whether
Prof. w. w. Williams of Portland
or Prof. H. c. Blair of Spokane,
handwriting experts, should remain
in court during the trial. Fee ia.
vored them remaining and accused
the Warner forces of tampering
with the will
Bailey hurled the Gle" and the
two men clashed. Bailey's face
was rubbed on the floor and Fee S
face scratched. After order was
restored Bailey renewed the trou-
BILE by hurting an inkwell at Fee
He missed the mark and Sheriff
Taylor interfered. Fee failed in an
attempt to reach an old dagger on
the wall.
The throwing of the inkwell was
followed by general rush OF
spectators through the doors to es-
cape the ink. Little blood was shed,
although two coats were torn and
one dress ruined.
AS Fee charged across the room
in the second mix-up Mrs. Warner
tugged at his coat-tail.
During the excitement Judge
Gilliland sat quietly and waited for
order to be restored.

Ga0rQIa Is All Right

The Atlanta Constitution notifies the effete east that the income tax propo- sition will be taken up by the legisla- ture of Georgia at it's second session, next summer. "It will be ratified" says the Constitution, "by such a ma jority as will leave no doubt as to Georgia's attitude toward this recog- nized, just and reasonable democratic principle"
 And when the Georgia legislature has ratified the income tax it should turn its attention to the petition to Congress to call convention for the purpose of bringing before the states the direct election of United States senators-another just and reasonable democratic principle
 No doubt both propositions will be put through the Georgia legislature next summer. If both had been acted on this summer the influence of a good and speedy example would have been felt in other states Georgia politics is, however, an enigma, and there is just no telling what influences were brought to bear to postpone both prop ositions to another summer.
 But comment is unkind in view of the fact that, says the Atlanta Consti- tuition, "it is scarcely to be credited that there is a county in Georgia which would give a majority against the income tax amendment" There is probably not one that is opposed to reform in the makeup of the United States Senate

Blrmingham'S Population

Dr. Phillips, superintendent of the Birmingham public schools, shows plainly that there will be on April 1 next 96,000 children between the ages of ' and 21 in the new city Tt is safe" he goes on to say, "to mul tiply this number by four to obtain the total population. Four times 36, 900 would be 144,OO0-a number that would throw Atlanta and Nashville into blue funk.
 In 1890 the population of Birming- ham was 3S.415, and 11,5S7 were be- tween the ages of and 20. The ra tio was little less than 31s to 1.
 The population of the state in 1900 was 1.s2S.697. There were in that year 733,222 persons between the ages of and 20. The ratio in the state as a whole was, therefore, less than to 1.
 The Age-Herald has no desire to cast any unnecessary doubts on pr Phillips figures, but it is best not to accept 4 to 1 as the true and only ratio. It might be but to 1, or more probably 911 to l. The former would give the new city 1OS,O0O population, while the latter would carry it up to 126,000. The probable population lies no doubt somewhere between 1000 and 140,000 No better information is possible until next April, when emu merators will count all noses. Di- rectory and other similar counts are of small value in the few interven- ing months

1.-THE EMPIRE OF THE AIR."

From the Boston Globe.
 Humor like beauty is largely in the eye of the beholder; but, unlike it, is mainly dependent on the state of time and cir cumstances. Change fancy to fact or turn the dial of the clock, and the jester is disarmed.
 In the past, German indetermination, with it's nebulous results, has furnished a broad target for ridicule. The spec ulative habit, peculiar to the German, of turning thought in his mind while he battles with a world of doubts that swarm around to seize it, not unnaturally pro- vokes amusement. Jean Paul Richter. himself German, forged, oddly enough, the most familiar witticism on this na- tional mental attitude. Providence" he said "has given to the French tho em- pire of the land; to the English the em- pire of the sea, and to the Germans the empire of the air!''
 Richter's satire is unmistakable; yet the most patriotic of German journals could print his words today, and they would pass for adulation. The day of Zeppelin is not the day of Richter. The cratic little flash of pleasantly has turned, momentarily, to realism.

TENNYsoN's FIRST POEMS.

From the Westminster Gazette, London.
 The wind came sweeping through the garden of an old Lincolnshire rectory one morning in the beginning of last cen, tury and blew upon child of years old, who opened his arms to the blast and let 1t carry him along, crying as he tray eled, T hear a voice that's calling in the wind" That was Tennyson's first line of poetry. The first poem he ever com posed was written upon a slate one Sun day morning at Louth. The subject set him by his brother. Charles. was, "B1ow- ers,' and little Alfred covered his slate with blank verse after the model of Thompsons Seasons. His next attempt was an elegy upon his grandmother. who had just died, written at the request of his grandfather When 1t was written the old man put 10 shilings into the boy S hand and said: There, that is the first money you have ever earned by your poetry, and, take my word for it, it will be the last"
