CAMPAIGN TO MAKE OREGON DRY.

The organization to carry the whole state of Oregon into
the Prohibition ranks is we'll under way
The plan is 10 submit prohibition amendment to the con-
Stituon and force the law ona Il counties
The anti-SaIoon movement is oveneaChng in this matter
as Il will have a white elephant on its hands.
True local option would give to each precinct and city the
power to regulate the liquor business.
Where there Is strong public sentiment against saloons
they cannot exist or do paying business,
But to carry the wet towns and cities and counties over
into compulsory prohibition is mistake.
But the battle is on and one good effect will be to make
tricky doube-deaing politicians show their hands,

The facts regarding valuations OF rail-
road property, as heretofore stated, will
be presented to the State Board Of As
SCISSORS for their consideration, at the
meeting in Janua;y, and it will be for
the Board to determine whether they

statute requiring the assessors to value
property at the actual cash value Of the
property, but he does not know that
this is seldom, if ever, done. The
proper thing to do is to comply with the
provisions of that statute as to valua-
tions and reduce the tax rate proper
tionately. With such a system in oper-
alton the property holder would be re-
quired to pay no more taxes than he
does to-day, prospective investors would
not be scared away by our rate. and the
State would make far better showing
to the outside world. 1t would be un-
wise, in my judgment. to raise the val
uations to the actual cash value at one
swoop. This should be done gradually
but aggressively. Under the method
that has been pursued in this State Of

SCANDALS ALLEGED AMONG

in Private Exhibitions

PARIS, June PA singular affair is
much agitated over a memorial pre-
scented to parliament by Deputy de
Felice, setting forth in minute detail
a long list of alleged scandals in con-
nection with the kings life guards
The charges are so serious that his ma
jesty himself has taken the initiative
in ordering special inquiry.
During the society season in the capt.
tai sportsmen tourists, and especially
English speaking visitors of the fair

Witnessing feats of military prowess
and horsemanship, for which the Ital-
ian army is renowned the world over.
Thus private military tournaments

Besides. however. delighting English
able love affairs, these dangerous feats
have resulted in seven cuirassiers hav-
ing to undergo serious operations,
while others have had fractured bones,
conclusion of the brain, and sprains
of serious kind in executing a pre-
cipitous descent.
The memorial goes on to state that
scores of valuable remounts have been

LONDON. June pa discovery
which promised to cheaper by one
half the price of radium and provide a
valuable new source of supply has been
made in Portugal.
Seams of quartz, containing more
that so per cent of oxide of uranium,
have been discovered and M, Barboni
formerly professor of chemistry in
Paris, one of the experts who have
examined specimens. states that the
mineral, by reason of its greater facili-

three times superior to pitch blende

The discovery was made in a curious

mechanical engineers, visited it. He
followed it's course. and on the top of

Firms THROUGH ELECTION =.
SHOW HATRED TO RUSSIA
New Diet Undoubtedly viii Protest to
Gar and Will Be Dissolved
Immediately

HELSINGFORS, June 12.-The Fin
nish elections, necessitated by the dis
solution of the diet, February p, as
a punishment for its protest against
Russian encroachments on Finnish
rights, have resulted in the confirma-
ton by the country of the late diets
attitude to Russia. The Socialists, the
Swedes and the Young Firms who all
stand together on the Russian ques-
ton, have obtained more than three
times the number of votes given to the
Old Firms, the friends of Russia.
Undoubtedly the new diet, under the
s..me speaker Herr Swinhufoud, will
renew the protests of the last diet and
will certainly share the same fate of
prompt dissolution.
The czar has bought through a
Helsingfors agancy for 1-2 million
roubles an extensive sporting and fish
ing estate at Kotka, on the Finnish
gulf. The doctors have strongly re-
commended Finnish air for the en-
press, and at his new estate the en-
peror will be able to indulge his love

DAUGHTER OF OFFICER
CHARGED WITH THEFT
but Says Circumstances Were
UnfaVorable for Her

LONDON, June 12-Miss Isebella
Campbell was charged at the Maryle-
bone police court with stealing a purse,
containing SIS gold and other money.
The accused, who is the daughter of
a distinguished ar ~ afficer, was wear
ing a violet costume, and appeared
quite unperturbed by the serious posi-
ton in which she was placed.
The prosecutrix stated that while she
was IN milliner's shop N Queens road
she placed her purse, gloves and sun
shade on the chair on which she had
been sitting. She then went to the
other end of the room. On returning
she saw Miss Campbell sit on the chair,
and when she lifted the hat she dis
covered that the purse was gone.
A constable was called in, but he
explained that he could not search the
prisoner unless the owner of the purse
charged her with the theft. The pris-
oner expressed her willingness to be
searched, but the prosecutrix was most
unwilling to charge her. No one else
was in the shop at the time, however
At the police station the prisoner was
searched but no purse was found.
The magistrate discharged the pris-
oner, and expressed his regret that she
had been placed in so unpleasant a
position. He could not remember a
case in which the circumstances pressed
so unfairly against prisoner.

DEFEAT PROFESSORS
PEDAG0GUES ARE ROUTED BY
SENIORS AT BASEBALL
Students Pile Up Big Score Against
Teachers, Who Are Saved from
Annhilation by Pitching
of DR.. Smith
Especial to The Herald

CLAREMONT, June 12-Although
the Pomona college faculty put up a
strong game of ball, the Profs were
1oundly defeated by the senior aggre-
cation this afternoon in a nine-inning
fest of the national game, in which the
new graduates rolled up thorteen runs
to the professors two. That the defeat
was not greater was due to the classy
pitching of DR.. A. M. Smith, who left
the chair of philosophy long enough to
handle the last eight innings
The first inning was pitched by Lewis
Johnson of the school of music. Prof.
Pierce of the history department proved
a star behind the bat and made the
high batting average for the faculty,
three hits out of four times at bat. DR..
Smith holds the track letter, won when
he was a student here, while Prof.
Pierce has long athletic record to his
credit.
The faculty's TALES were run up by
Prof A. H. Corley of the modern Ian
guage department.
The seniors used Weinland and Crook
for battery. Weinland made the only
three Dagger of the day. The seniors
twice worked double plays prettily,
from Tangeman to Jones and later frora
Jones to Crook.
