death in this city. Seven persons

Development.

The Dalles military road land gran
containing an almost unmeasured srei

Oregon, is to be developed and thrown

possession. Walter Martin. San Fran
cisco capitalist. who. with his brother,
Peter Martin. is chief owner of the
vast area. made known development
plans yesterday that were startling
even in generation of big projects.

These plans included extensions of
the Boise Idaho irrigation project
into Malheur county. reclaiming 150. z
600 acres, with an ultimate cost of

irrigation project will be similarly

Mortgages to be Taxed.

Salem, Or, July l5.-The Stat
Tax Commission of intangible person
ality provided under the statute ant
County Assessors are being directed
to pay careful attention to mortgage
notes. In statement which is being
sent out today to the various County
Assessors of the state by Commits
sioners Charles V. Galloway and j.
B. Eaton, the following directions are
given as to this class of assessments !:
I'm reviewing the work of the
several County Assessors it has be-
come apparent that certain classes of
property have not been duly con-
sidered by all Of them. It appears
that in some counties mortgage notes
are practically not listed. or, if listed.
only in instances where the taxpayer
fairly insists that his mortgage notes
should be assessed, some Assessors
and County Boards holding that it is
not good buplic policy to tax such
notes. AS matter of course. the
taxpayer quickly understands the atti-
tude of the officers of his county and
readily and willingly takes advantage
of it. and. as rule. carefully avoids
the inclusion of his mortgage notes in
the list of his property furnished the
Assessor. On the other hand, many
Assessors are making a strong effort
to get all Glasses of property subject
to assessment and taxation upon the
roll ana are checking up the record
Of mortgages in their several counties
with that end in view. This course
has been Endorsed by the Board Of
State Tax Commissioners and we de-
sire it to be distinctly understood that
such diligence on the part of an As
SCISSOR is commended and approved.

JAPAN FRIENDLY
TO UNITED STATES
Relations Firmly Estab-
lished and Interests
Distinct.

Toxic, July 15.-"Unhappily,
forces for evil for unknown but
sinister purposes constantly are
endeavorinR by false reports or other
methods to create conditions Of i'll
will or distrust between two neigh
boring peoples.
'Their relations are too firmly
established and their interests are too
distinct to admit of the possibility of
any question arising between Japan
and the United States. which will not
yield readily to the ordinary process
of diplomacy. 6 { The increased and
more intimate exchange of views be-
tween the two governments dispels
all aDprehensions on that score.
This utterance was made tonight
by Foreign Minister Count Komura in
toasting J. M. Dickinson. the Ameri-
can Secretary of War, at a banquet
given by Count Komura in honor of
the American Cabinet officer. Mr.
Dickinson and his party arrived at
Yokohama this afternoon on board
the steamer Siberia. and after an
informal reception at the American
Consulate, came on to Toxic for to-
nights function.
The dinner was a brilliant affair.
Eighty persons sat down to the table.
including Marquis Katsura, the
Japanese Prime Minister, and FIVE
members of the Cabinet; Admirals.
Generals and officers and their ladies.
After toasts to President Taft and the
Emperor had been proposed. re-
pectively, by Count Komura and
thomas J. O'Brien. the American
ambassador. Count Komura. in pro-
'osing the health of Mr.. Dickinson,
eferred to previous visits to Japan of
President Taft.
"These visits | recall said the
Foreign Minister, "hot only because
lis personality endeared him to all,
ut because his insight and calm
Judgment enabled him to appreciate
he true value Of the sentiments
by Japan for America. +"
Mr.. Dickinson, in responding. after
warm expression of his gratitude
or the hospitality accorded him, de-
Jared that Count Komura had ex-
ressed accurately President Taft and

CONTEST WILL BE CLOSE
Lake and Goodwin Managers
Profess Absolute Confidence

Hartford, Conn, Sept. u (SpeciaD.-On
the eve of the Republican State Convention
the campaign managers of both Everett J.
Lake and Charles A. Goodwin profess to
have enough delegates to assure the noml-
nation for Governor by margin of be-
tween forty and fifty.
The Lake managers name the larger
figure which is Endorsed by The Hartford
Courant," which declares that the Goodwin
delegates are being tempered With and calls
on them to stand firm till they cast their
ballots on the convention floor.
The Goodwin managers put forty as the
nigh water mark for their plurality Of dele
gates. and The Hartford Times" gives
nineteen as the number by which Goodwin
will exceed Lakes delegation.
The forecasts by the campaign managers
and by the Connecticut editors make
il certain that the contest for the nomina-
ton will be the closest recorded in several
decades
The campaign of Lake has been Identical
with that of Morgan G. Bukeley for re-
election TO the United States Senate, and
that of Goodwin is linked just as closely
with that of former Governor George P.
Mclean for the nomination for United
States Senator. The uncertainty that at
tends the fight for the nomination for Gov
ernor extends to that for the nomination
for United States Senator
It will be taken for granted by the ma
iority of Connecticut citizens that if Lake
succeeds in winning the nomination for
Governor BuIkeIey will be chosen in jan
uary TO succeed himself in the national Sen
