REFUSES TO
TURN OVER
APPROPRIATION

Upon the advice of Attorney Gen
eral Crawford Secretary of State Oh
colt has declined to turn over to the
Astoria Centennial committee the
$4,000 appropriated by the last leg
islature for the Astoria Centennial
celebration until Clatsop county pays
to the state taxes to the amount of
$4,000 which it is alleged are due and
for the collection of which suit is
pending, and it begins to look now
that should the secretary of state
maintain his position that the COM
mittee, If it secures the appropria-
tion must do so by legal procedure.
The tax is for the year 1909 The
legislature then passed a law rela-
tive to the levying of taxes which
was declared unconstitutional. Most
of the counties had paid their taxes
under 1t and another law law was
passed, the rate of taxation was
raised. All the counties, save Clat-
sop, paid the state the additional
amount, but that county declined to
pay it. Suit was instituted about
year ago for the collection of the tax
and has since been pending in the
courts.
The appropriation for the Centen
NAL celebration was made on condi-
tion that the citizens of Asotria and
Clatsop county appropriate the sum
Of $4,000. This amount has been
subscribed and several weeks ago
the secretary was notified and asked
to turn over the state appropriation
to the centennial committee. Attor-
ney General Crawford took the sub
ject of the back tax up with the sec
retary of state and recommended
that the appropriation be not turned
over to the committee until Clatsop
county had paid the state the tax and
the secretary of state complying with
his request, took the subject up with
the county court of Clatsop county.
Since then a mass of correspondence
has accumulated but a settlement so
far seems remote.
1t is cOntended that the secretary
of state has no right to decline to
turn over the appropriation made by
the legislature after the conditions
precedent contained in the act MAX
ing it, have been complied with and
1t may be that mandamus proceed
ings will be instituted by the COM
mittee to enforce him to pay over
the appropriation.

STATE SUES
TO RECOVER
STATE LANDS

Governor West has instructed At
torney-General Crawford to begin
a suit in the circuit court of Lake
county for the purpose of canceling
the title to about 1000 acres Of
land acquired by Swamp Angel"
Owen, and have them revert back to
the state, and the action will be filed
in the court within a few weeks.
The lands involved are a portion of
a 100, ,O0O-acre tract acquired by
owen under the swamp land act.
Some of the lands fell into the
hands of the Warner Valley Stock
company several years ago and an
action was commenced to cancel the
title claimed by the company. The
state was successful in the state
courts, but the case is now pending
on appeal in the federal courts. A
settlement was sought to be effected
as to the title of the lands, which
will be the subject of the proposed
suit, in the senate, but the law went
down in defeat. Representative
Thompson introduced a bill in the
house to quiet title to them, but the
bill was vetoed.
The conditions upon which the land
was to be acquired was the payment
Of 20 cents down at the time of max
ing application and then the state
was to receive 81 an acre afterwards.
Owen, in filing upon the lands, never
made the first payment, and in the
meantime the legislature passed a
law repeating the law under which
he filed upon the lands. The states
contention is now that his applca-
tion was invalid and that the title of
the present holders is also invalid,
because of the action by the legisla-
ture, and because the lands were not
of swamp character.

SAGE FOR DARKENlNG THE
HAIR.

There is nothing new about the idea OF
using sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our great-grandmother kept their
locks soft, dark and glossy by using a
sage tea Whenever their hair fell out
or took on dull, faded or streaked an
pearance, they made a brew of sage
leaves and applied it to their hair with
wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays
we don't have to resort to the old-tme,
tiresome method of gathering the herbs
and making the brew. This is done by
Tkillful chemists better than VIZ could do
it ourselves, and all we have to do is to
call for the ready made product. Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, containing sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.

GOVERNOR WEST SOLVED
THE HEATING PROBLEM

Upon discovering yesterday after
noon that the heating plant of the
Tubercular institute was no longer
serviceable, the State Board for the
Treatment of tuberculosis also dis
covered that the legislature had failed
to make an appropriation for a new
plant, and until Governor West de-
yised means whereby the problem
might be solved it began to look as
though the board was to be placed in
a most embarrassing position.
The plan devised by the governor
was to supply the institution with the
old heating plant of the asylum,
which was recently replaced with a
new one. With a few repairs, this
plant can be placed in a fine cOndi-
ton, and, with the power for its Oper-
alton secured from the penitentiary,
the institute is provided with a plant
without a cent of cost to the state.
The board transacted much routine
business, and also made an inspec-
ton of the building to determine its
needs and wants in the way of addi-
tional Improvements and equipment.

Rare Treat

The Grand Thcatcr has been prom
i,ing the people OF Carson a rare
treat and are surely fulfilling their
promise when they engaged the serv-
ices OF Bcllevillc and Brown who are
appearing there this entire week.
They played to two overcrowded
houses last night and great numbers
OF people were turned away.
Never has there been in Carson
greater specialtics in their line and
the encores they received showed the
appreciation OF the audience. Their
dancing is something out Of the ordi-
nary; their singing is far above the
average and their jokes kept the au-
diencc convulsed with laughter.
Their acts are changed every night
and you will certainly miss something
il you fail to see them.
