sum of twenty thousand dollars was
subscribed to be used in placing a
magnificent display in the coming ex

The
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed OF the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy OF
known value; a laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination Of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir OF SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by ansleading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

WOULD ABOLISH
THE TOLL ROAD
EAST END RESIDENTS
PETITION LEGISLATURE
If Legislature Does Not Handle the
Proposition, Matter May be Taken
up by County Courts of Cmatllla
and Union Counties-Franchis was
for Twenty Years.
Especial Correspondence)

Milton Feb. 2.-One of the meas
ures which residents of Umatilla and
Union counties are trying to place be-
fore the present legislature, in session
in Salem, is a bill providing for the
abolition of the toll road across the
Blue Mountains south east of Milton.
The matter has already been taken
up with representatives in the legis-
lature, but just what will be the out
come can not be told now.
1t is thought possible that in the
event the legislature does not take
hold OF the proposition, it can be de-
cided by a joint tribunal consisting OF
the circuit courts of both the counties
interested.
The road at the present time is
owner and the revenue therefron
belong to Rinehart and Woodward,
the former of Walla Walla and the
latter of this city. It is claimed by
those who travel the road that it is
not kept in any condition for travel
ing. despite the heavy traffic that
way every year, and that the amount
expended in keeping up the roads,
does not now, equal but a small per
cent of the profits derived from tolls.
The toll road across the Blue
Mountains was originally granted to
the Toll Gate corporation, IN the ma
ture of a franchise to run for 90
years. Just the date of granting this
franchise and the conditions apper-
tanning there to, is in some doubt in
the minds Of old pioneers here. There
seems to be an easy way to make
the road a public state highway. pro-
vided the franchise has never been
renewed by the state. This. pioneer
residents of Milton claim has never
been done.
If this be true inconsiderable legal
proceedings will soon abolish the toll
road and give a clear right of way
for any and all travellers across the
Blue Mountains going and coming
from Umatilla to Union counties.
From present indications it seems
doubtful if the matter will come be-
fore the legislature during the pres
ent session, but supporters of the pro-
position are in hopes that, in the
event it does not come up at this
time. it may be settled by a joint
tribunal of both circuit courts of
the counties interested.

RESTRICTION ON CO-EDs.
Dress, Coiffure. Ways and Names of
Girl Students Criticised.

Apparently the college girls in the
western and middle western colleges
are causes of worry to those appoint
ed to sit in authority over them. Fol-
instance, the dead of women at Stan
ford University not long ago devised
this set of rules:
Women must not appear on the
quad or about the university buildings
wearing frou-frou skirts.
Light dresses, and particularly
peek-a-boo waists, should not be
worn at University exercises.
Women students must not wear
hosiery of light or pastel shades.
Men and women students must not
stroll together in the evening in sin
gle couples.
Lights in dormitories and house
clubs must be extngulshed at 10
o'clock every evening.
All men students calling on women
students in the evening must have
said their goodbys and taken their
departure prior to 10 o'clock.
The director Of physical education
at the University of Washington in
Seattle is reported as saying recently:
1.-THE present style Of hairdressing
is altogether too elaborate for col
lege women. Besides the comments
given on account Of this extreme
fashion 1t greatly interferes with the
regular classwork Of the student. Any
person happening into the gymnasium
during a class hour of freshman girls
will verify the statement Some fear
to bend lest they should lose the puffs
which adorn their heads"

makes mock Of the names Of some
of the co-eds, printing these as
among the choicest Pearlle, Phyllis,
Pattie, Medeline, Amandine, Anita.

Secretary Announces That Production
Exceeded Consumption During
the Year and Cost Has
Been Reduced

NEW YORK, June 7.-At the annua
meeting of the stockholders of the
Amalgamated Copper company held
in Jersey City, N. j., today, James
Jordan and j. Horace Harding were
elected directors to succeed the late
Henry II. Rogers and the late Anson
+. Flower.
The annual report of the Amalgamat-
ed Copper company showed the net in
come for the year ended April 30 to

016,577 as compared with the previous
year. The surplus for the year was
$3.50, ,222, an increase of S61, ,1S1.
Secretary A. II. Melin reported to
the stockholders that during most of

cries were about equal to production
and sales had been made in sufficient
amount practically to absorb the ac-
cumulated surplus of the early part of
the year. The cost per pound of cop
per produced, he said has been ma
terially reduced.
The companies owned by the Anal
gamated Copper company produced
about 34,000.000 pounds of refined cop
per during the year, and of this amount
the Amalgamated Copper received BEN
eft from about 199.000,000 pounds.

tonight at a banquet in the Portland

William j. MacMaster, president oil

proposed the health of the emperor oi
Japan. Consul humane of the Imperial
Japanese government in turn proposed
the health of the president of the Unit

The formal welcome to the visitors
was extended by w ID. Wheelwright
who took for his theme the recent char
acterization by Elihu Root of Jayan as
a 'nation of gentlemen, of scholars, SOL
diers, scientists and statesmen, and
cited a number of illustrations to prove
that the words were not the language
of diplomacy or sentiment, but the
simple statement of fact.
"The Friendship of Nations was the
subject of an interesting address by
Col. f. f. S. Wood, who spoke intpar'
as follows:
Friendship of Nations
1.-THE friendship of nations means uni
versal peace. Man has but one passion
the wish to live From this come his

he may enjoy life.
peace is constructive. War is de-
structive. Man always accomplishes
his ideals. and just so surely as the old
feudal age of constant war has passed
Just so surely will the state of war
some day cease to he. AS surely as the
cid trial by combat between individuals
has been recognized as folly, so surely
will war he known as folly. War not
only destroys the wealth of a nation
it destroys the flower of youth. The
blood drain may leave ruined though
victorious people. There has never beer
q question settled by war that could
not have been better settled by the
calms judgment of men,"
Col. Wood called attention to the
1926, ,O00. 900. 900 war debt of Europe; the
$500 000, 900 which France pays ANNUALLY
to keep up its armament. This, he de-
clared to be an exorbitant insurance
against war, Concluding Col. Wood
said the friendship of nations is moi
alone the dream of poets, but it is the
destiny of man.
Following the banquet was a recep-
tion by Consul and Mrs. humane In
honor of Rear Admiral Ijichi and the
officers of his fleet, several thousand

the College of France. the professor
who lectured at Harvard recently, has
returned with an enthusiastic impress
sion of America, and particularly
American university life.
He said the many books he had
studied on the subject did not convey

He was deeply impressed by the evi-
dences of idealism and intellectual
progress among the people. who have
been represented by European writer's

plain that he had been surprised at
the courtesy and politeness he had en-
countered.
The language used might be brusque,
but Americans, he said, do not make
useless compliments.
Another surprise had been American
architecture. He said:

WASHINGTON, June Lloyd W.
Bowers, solicitor general of the United
States, today submitted to President
Taft his opinion as to what the term
"whisky" means in law.
Mr.. Bowers holds that the public
does not consider that added coloring
or flayoring matter can make WHISKY
ont of what otherwise is not WHISKY
Whisky is regarded generally and nat
urally as having a flavor and proper
ties of its own.
nOa the other hand,' he says. the
mere addition of harmless coloring or
fiayoring matter to what is previously
whisky does not destroy its whisky
character unless such addition unduly
dilutes or affects the essential proper
ties of the whisky"
A mixture of whisky with alcohol or
neutAal spirits is entitled to the namo
whisky, Mr.. Bowers holds, provided
the mixture retains a substantial
amount of by-products in proportion
to the volume of the mixture.
Bowers says the addition of alcohol
tn whisky Is not the Introduction of u
foreign substance, but is merely an
enlargement of the proportion of one
proper constituent 1t is merely a
form of dilution, just as is the addition
of water.
President Taft authorized the opinion
of Mr.. Bowers to be made public, but
announced no opinion himself because
it was his desire to hear further testi-
mony taken from what are known as
straight whisky distillers.
