WASHINGTON RANCHERS
HAVE COMET CHICKS

Spokane, Wash.-Miss Emma La
Barge of 2516 North Standard avenue.
has a Plymouth Rock chick with
three legs and Joseph Gump. living
at 213 East Art avenue, claims dis
tinction for a single-combed Rhode
Island Red, which laid it's first egg
four months and 23 days after it was
hatched The Plymouth Rock has
IA toes, six of them growing on the
third leg. Otherwise the chick ap-
pears to be normal. The third leg is
one and a half inches in length. It
is perfectly formed and is as useful
as the ether two, even with four toes,
in scratching for food. Mr.. Gump's
pullet probably has broken all rec
ords for early layers, but there is
nothing remarkable about the bird.
The egg Is of ordinary size and
weight. The Spokane Poultry and
Pet Stock association will award a
medal to Mr.. Gump on June 20. un-
less in the meantime the officers hear
of a better record for a pullet. All
claims must be accompanied by af-
fidavits and photograph of the pull
let addressed to R. n. Hughes, as
sistant secretary of the Spokane
, chamber of commerce.

ORDERS RECEIVED FOR
ANNUAL STATE SHOOT
Company l. Men Will Seek to Win

Second Last Year-NIore Recruits
Needed by Company.

Orders have been received by Cap
tain Ferguson of company L for the
annual rifle and revolver competition
of the Oregon national guard which
will be held on the state rifle range
near Clackamas from July 12 to July
II.
The commanding officer of each
company is to nominate a team OF
four men and one alternate, all to be
selected by previous competition on
some outdoor range. This team must
be nominated by July 5.
The receipt of this order has awak-
ened the interest in range work and
company L will hold their first shoot
tomorrow. All desiring to participate
must assemble at the armory by s
a. m.
There are some good shots in COM
pany L and the boys expect to make
a sufficient showing to enable them
to get places on the state team
Sergeant Blanchet came within one
point of winning the governors med
al last year and is determined that he
will bring this trophy home this year.
Captain Ferguson has also re-
ceived the medals for 1909 competi-
ton and is now distributing them.

ingsworth. These medals have not
arrived but are expected any day.
The work of recruiting the company
up to the minimum is not progressing
as rapidly as was expected owing to
the opposition of a great number of
the parents. If the cooperation of
the town is not secured Captain Fer
guson says Pendleton is apt to lose
the company. The company still re-
quires about IS men to come up to
the minimum number. The officers
have worked hard and the young
men are interested but the parents
in several instances have interfered.
This is very discouraging to the Off
GERS and may mean the loss of the
company to Pendleton. 1t is under
stood the Commercial association will
again be asked to use its influence to
aid the officers in holding the COM
pany together.

o. 4. C. STUDENTS AND
PEDAGOGUES JOIN IN WORK

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Or.-On Friday, May 27, every
member of the college community
from the oldest and most learned
pedagogue to the youngest and most
verdant freshman worked on the
campus grading ground, moving
grass and cutting down trees, for it
was college labor day at the Oregon
agricultural college. Seven hundred
men, including the members of the
faculty, responded to roll call at 8
o'clock that morning and Immediate
ly took up the work of improving and
beautifyng the campus, which con-
tinued until O'Clock in the after
noon. Many trees were cut down.
many yards of dirt moved and much
rubbish cleaned away. No partiality
was shown in the division of labor,
professor and students worked at the
same tasks. Toward the end of the
day the campus had indeed witnessed
a very marked change, and the work
which had all been previously arrang-
ed was carried out to the letter. In
the morning where large and stately
fir trees stood, where piles of rub
bish and mounds of dirt existed,
were a thing of the past when the
day was over, and the work was so
complete that the ravages Of a cy-
clone could not have done a better
job. The college had surely received
the best efforts Of this army of seven
hundred men.
The work which was performed is
the first step in the execution of the
campus plans recently submitted by
]. c. Olmstead.

Nine. Marguerite Carre, wife of
the director of the Opera Comiuue,
after rehearsing a new part, went to
her dressing room to take glass of
wine, inviting her dresser and stage
manager to join her.
No sooner had Nine. Carre taken
a sip of the wine when she felt a
burning sensation. She at once de-
clared that there was something the
matter with the wine. The dresser,
to reassure her, took a sip, but was
i'll for the rest of the evening, while
the stage manager Jared as badly.
AS the bottle had been opened the
day before and the contents were
then perfectly good it was evident
that it had been tampered with in the
interval, The matter was placed in
the hands of the police at once, and
it was stated that the presence of

Republican Managers Worried
Over the Legislature.
Dave Leahy Scents Danger in
Santa Fe Special.
CHARGES 1T TO RIPLEY
Fears He's Trying to Influence
Voters Against Stubs.
Says Public Utilities Law Is
Important Issue.

While there are no figures available
the managers of the Republican state
central committee are confident of ali
overwhelming majority for the state
ticket. It cannot be denied, however,
according to David D. Leahy. private
secretary to Governor Stubs, that
there is some anxiety concerning the
election of a sufficient number of the
Republican candidates for the leg1s-
lature to assure the governor of ar
adequate force to carry his public
utilities measure safely into the stat
ute book.
1.-THE Republicans are considerably
worried said Mr.. Leahy, "over the
special Santa Fe train that is going
over the system in Kansas with high
officers of the company. While it can
not be proven positively that the So
called harmony meetings of President
Ripley are aimed at influencing the
politics of the patrons of the line it is
feared that they are almost at the very
heart of Governor Stubs public utili-
ties demand. President Ripley, it is
thought, is much interested in the de-
feat of this measure and Chairman
Dolley and his friends point to certain
statements made in President Ripley's
recent letter to the governor to prove
their fears.
THE sentiment for state control of
public utilities has increased wonder
fully in the last two years. In 1909 the
Stubs public utilities idea was de-
feated because the railroads cleverly
obtained the cooperation of the tele-
phone companies against it. Independ-
ent telephone companies which had
lines, organized a powerful influence
and a powerful prejudice against
Stubbs' idea.
Farmers who had rural lines were
told that this public utilities scheme
would control and regulate them and
this the farmers did not like. When
the Independent telephone fellows came
out from under the hypnotic influence
of the railroad lObbyists-the real en-
gtneers of the fight against the Stubs
measure-they found the Bell company
swallowing the Independent company
at Wichita and other points and fore
ing up the prices.
when the small lines felt the dead
ly squeeze they soon saw that Stubs
utilities bill was their saviour and
their 11%aa.agers came trooping to To-
peka to confess their mistake and ask
the governor to renew his efforts TO
save them. Now the situation has be-
come such that without a. utilities COM
mission every Independent telephone
company in the state-Iarge and small
will be in the belly of the big octo-
pus before another legislature can meet
under the law.
1.-The real issue in the campaign is
whether the state shall have a public
utilities law or whether the big corpor-
ations shall continue to swallow the
little ones without any check or control
Whatever-and charge tolls and rates
to suit themselves. 1t is therefore de-
sired to have a sufficiently strong ma
jority in the legislature to carry the
governors measures to success over

MUCH DUE IN TAXES.
Nearly $4,000 in Personal Property
Accounts UncoIIected.

Nearly $4,000 in personal taxes re-
main due Shawnee county on the 1903
assessment and the county commission
ers are going to usestrenuous measures
to collect them. AS provided by law,
alias warrants will be filed by the sher-
if with the clerk of the district court
and upon such action become liens upon
the real estate belonging to delin-
quents.
A total of $4.466.64 is due from To-
peka alone. Business men, businesses,
lawyers and organizations are all in
cluded in the delfnquents. Page after
page of county and city entries are
found on the treasurer's books. Many
of the dues appear in the cents coll
unn while some run into hundreds of
dollars.
Leniency on the part of commission
ers and other county officers and the
failure of the sheriff's force to find the
parties have, heretofore, hindered great
ly in the collection of this personal
tax. Now, there is q more determin-
ed disposition to collect everything due
the county and the commissioners have
issued the following communication to
Treasurer Medlicott:
Dear Sir:-In checking up the rec
ords of your Office in pursuance of our
duties for the regular annual settle
ment, we have noted a large list of
persons who are delinquent in their
personal property taxes.
among the u5L are many WnOm we
believe are amply able to pay the tri-
fling sums assessed against their pro-
perty for the purpose of sharing in the
burdens of public expenses and govern
ment.
Among this list there are some en-
gagged in business and following pro-
fessions with visible effects from which
the taxes due the county should be pro-
cured according to the provisions of
the statutes, found in article IS, laws of
1909, chapter 116.
Be it therefore resolved, by the board
of county commissioners. that you take
such steps as may be necessary, in con-
junction with the sheriff of this county
to collect, by alias warrants all UNI
paid personal property taxes, as pro-
vided in section 9432 of the above men,
toned act, and then if such taxes are
not procured, we especially urge you to
carry out the provisions of section 943S
of said act. which provides that an alb
stract of the amount of taxes due may
be filed with the clerk of the district
court, and there become lien on real
estate belonging to delinquents, in the
same manner as judgment.

Gates that the Progressive Democrats
who are supporting Mr.. Stubs are
increasing rather than diminishing in
number. Private Secretary Leahy says
that since Mr.. Hodges denounced the
New Nationa1isn' of Mr.. Roosevelt
and the ''demagogic attacks, of Gov
ernor Stubs on business corporations,
at Concordia, recently, the promises of
support from Democrats are flooding
the governors office. There is but
one tone to all the letters and that is
this, that they are not going to take
any chances but will make the cleo
ton of Governor Stubs a certainty.
That these Democrats are welcome
to the Stubs bandwagon is not con-
cealed, for an undercurrent has been
discovered which proves, Mr.. Leahy
says, that Mr.. Hodges by his speech
at Concordia has won away from the
Republican ticket many of the old
