ADVANTAGES OF HIS
PLAN POINTED OUT

An illustration of the benefits that
would result from one of Judge S. A.
T.owells proposed laws is given here
today in the condition of affairs in
the circuit court. Owing to the i'll
ness of Judge G.. w. Phelps no court
session has been held today though
witnesses and jurors are here ready
for work. 1t is necessary to bring an
outside judge here to take the bench
and at least one day has been lost.
Judge Lowell calls attention to the
fact that were his plan now in force
Judge Phelps could have filled the
bench temporarily by calling in some
reputable local lawyer and could have
avoided delay. Under the terms of
bill drafted by Judge Lowell and
which will be introduced in the legis-
lature any circuit judge may when
the occasion demands name any re-
putable lawyer to take the bench
temporarily and try cases. Such
law is in force in Washington and has
been used in Illinois for many years,
with the greatest success so it is
claimed.

SENIORS PLANNING
TO GIVE A PLAY

Histrionic talent dormant in the
seniors of the high school is being
developed and will blossom forth in
the near future in a play entitled "a
College Town which they will present
publicly Each evening after the
closing of the days session. the in
cubating Sarah Bernhardts and
David Warfields existing in the ranks
of the upperclassmen gather in the
huge auditorium of the new building
and rehearse the various roles which
they will essay.
Reports which creep out from be-
hind the scenes have it that there are
several species of the genus genius
included in the cast and that the the
alter going population may look for
something in the 'nature of real
class from the students.
The play will probably be staged in
the big auditorium which has ca
pacity and facilities better than the
theaters of most small cities.

the Oregon Electric railroad discov-
cred that Louis Sires, the Chemawa
student who was credited with saw
ing thetrain recently from being
wrecked by pile of ties, was himself
guilty of piling the obstruction on the
track, and tagging the cars in an
imitation of moving picture hero.
After heaping up the lumber on the
rails the youngster who is now at
tending the Chemawa school ran
ahead and arrived just in time to stop
the train with piece of red calico.
He was the recipient of considera-
able commendation for what appear
ed to be his foresight, but the COM
pany has been investigating, and the
detectives now announce that the boy
himself was the guilty one.

The question of whether or not the
five towns. Pendleton, Weston, Athe-

empt from road taxes by their char
ters. should have the right to vote for
bond issue and still be free front
any part of the expenses was dis
cussed to some extent. Chairman
Brownel voiced the sentiment of
practically all present when he SAID
that inasmuch as it has long been
an established principle that taxation
without representation is unjust, in
this case the opposite proposition OF
representation without taxation is
equally unfair. Manuel Friedly made
a motion that a bill Incorporating this
principle be drafted. but the motion
was defeated because 1t was consid-
cred that the advocacy of such bill
would impair the effectiveness of the
legislative committee. A committee
consisting of Asa Thomson, Manuel
Friedly and Frank Sloan, was flnallX
appointed to take the matter up with
the five towns with view to induc-
ing them to consent to being taxed
along with the other towns and the
country communities.

INAUGURAL BALL

Trenton, n. j., Jan. 17.-President-
elect Wilson favors abolishing the in
augural ball. This became known
when he sent a letter to William Cor
ooran Eustis in Washington. chair
man of the inauguration committee,
asking him to consider the feasibility
of omitting it.
Mr.. Wilson's letter follows:
MY Dear Mr. Eustis: After taking
counsel with a great many persons
and canvassing as well as / could
general opinion in the matter. have
come to the conclusion that it is my
duty to ask you to consider the fea-
sbility of omitting the inaugural ball
altogether.
II do this with a great deal of hes
itation, because 1 don't wish to inter-
fere with settled practices or with
reasonable expectations of those who
usually go to enjoy the Inauguration.
but il has come near the aspect of a
sort of public duty, because of the
large indirect expense upon the gov
ernment incidental to it, and because
these balls have ceased to be neces-
sary to the enjoyment of the visitors.
II hope most sincerely that this re-
quest will in no way embarrass you,
and that l have not too long delayed
in making the suggestion. With corr
dial regards,
sincerely yours
