BENSON, CAPITALIST,
BECOMES BONIFACE

s. Benson, the retired lumber mag.
nate and capitalist, of Portland, for
whom Hood River people will always
have warm spot in their hearts, on
account of his interest in the Columbia
highway and his donations toward this
project, became full fledged boniface
Monday morning, when he became ae-
tive manager of the Hotel Benson, of
which he is owner. The Benson is one
of Portland's most pretentious hostel
ries. Mr.. Benson will no longer be
merely president of hotel company,
but an active, aggressive, operating
manager. who will one moment be
shaking hands with distinguished guests
and the next issuing orders in the cul-
mary department, and again arranging
for a banquet or a convention.
The decision came because Mr. Ben
son rather suddenly made up his mind
that thessuccess of the palatial hostelry
bearing his name and representing an
investment of close TO 81, 800, 600, de-
manded it. and so he took hold bright
and early Monday morning.
.'And | am going to learn all that
can about the game from the boys that
are here with me and from experience
and observations, with coat off and
wrestling in person with the problems
which the ordinary and average hotel
manager has to contend with, !" he re-
marked. as he suddenly transformed
himself from hotel investor to reg
ular boss around the place.

A. P. Bateham and Wilmer Sieg,
forming committee on donations and
market supplies of the Portland Com.
mercial club, have been sending out to
all commercial organizations and fruit
associations of the state the following
letter relative to national apple day,
which will be observed next Tuesday:
The Portland Commercial club and
the Oregon Development League, real.
izing the critical condition of the apple
market, intend to throw all the strength
of their support in promoting "Buy
Box of Apples" campaign in conjunc-
tion with the national apple day, which
occurs on October 20, this year.
Over a dozen committees have already
been appointed. Among the numerous
features which have been proposed are
the following: Hotels, restauri nts and
theatres will feature apples in many
novel and attractive ways. Newspa.
pers and public speakers will unite in
chorus, praising the beauty, virtue
and utility of the apple. Public off.
cials, clubs and societies will lend their
sanction and approval to the movement.
Other states of the Union are having

MOsier Has Bad Fire
[From the Rnlletinl

The midnight cry of "fire," the ring
ing of the church bell and the shooting
of guns aroused the citizens of Mosier
from their beds on Wednesday night of
last week to witness a spectacular
scene at II. M. Vests warehouse on
the railroad right of way at the foot of
Washington street.
Mrs. W. G. Stone, who lives near by
on Washington street. was awakened
by the barking of her dog, and on look
ing out discovered smoke pouring from
the building. She at once called a s.
E. Francisco, who lives next door, and
who gave the first alarm. Soon people
were running to the scene from all d.
rections. The fire had gained such
hesdway, however, that it was impos-
sible to do anything to save the build
ing, and the crowd confined their efforts
to prevent the flames from spreading to
nearby buildings.

BILLS
RUN GAUNTLET
SPEAKERSDISCUSS THEIR FEATURES


The proposed bills to be submitted 10
vote OF the people at the November
general election we've forced to run the
gauntlet at the regular October meet
ing Of the Commercial club Monday
evening, when Geo. r. Wilbur and j.
h. HaZlett. who on behalf of the club
have been making a study of the
measures and amendments, talked
especially on the tax bills that will be
voted upon. The proposed $500 tax
exemption amendment came in for a
drubbing at the hands of Mr.. Hazlett.
In regard to the exemption bill Mr..
Hazlett said:
"The Importance of the tax measures
to be voted on at the coming election
demands the greatest consideration and
discrimination on the part Of the vot-
ers.
"The $500 tax emption amendment
provides for exempting in all kinds Of
personal property to the amount of
$500, but does not exempt land.
There is room for an honest difference
OF opinion as to the justice and desira-
bility of general exemption OF that
amount, but there ought not TO be any
difference Of opinion among tho voters
OF Hood River county as 10 the inius-
tice and undesirability of law which
exempts all kinds OF property except
land. This means placing an additional
tax on land to make up for the loss
caused by the general $500 exemption
on personal property.
Under the practical demonstration
Of our present general property tax
law, the property Of the farmer being
visible is assessed, while a large
amount Of intangible personal property
such as stocks and bonds, is not as.
sessed, and the farmer not only pays
his own share of the taxes, but also
enough more. to make up for the taxes
on this intangible personal property
that is not reached.
"The proposed $500 tax exemption
amendment necessarily increases the
tax rate and thus places an additional
burden on the farmer. A tax system
should be adopted which in some meas.
ure would relieve the farmer from some
of the burden which he now bears un-
der our general property tax, rather
than the $500 tax exemption amend
ment which increases this burden"
DR.. K. l.. Scobee spoke on the pro-
posed dental bill. He pointed out the
joker in the bill, which would abolish
the present requirements for those
seeking to become dentists in the state.
II would lower the standard and allow
quacks and unskilled men to practice in
Oregon, he stated. DR.. Scobee de-
clared that. II anything. he would be in
favor of raising the standard for dental
practitioners. .'The people may vote
for such a bill." he said, thinking
they would be able to save money on
dentists bills. Experience has proven
the contrary. The unskilled man will
make just as much OF charge as the
man of high standard" DIR. Scobee
declared that there was no such thing
as the dental trust. as has been alleged
by the promoters of the proposed bill.
G. A. Molden. of the Bragg Mercan-
tile Co., expressed the prevailing COM
plant of the merchants of the city
against the commercial lighting rate.
Mr.. Molden said that he and others felt
that the rate charged the projectors of
stores was too high. He said there
was no complaint against the residen-
tial lighting rate.

JUDGE STANTON DE-
LIVERS ROAD BONDS

County Judge Stanton was in Port.
land last Friday to make delivery OF
the $75. 900 Columbia highway bonds to
S. Benson. Judge Stanton received
the first payment of $25, 900 and the
accrued interest on this amount up to
October 8. amounting to $29l. Mr..
Benson also at this time fulfilled his
agreement as to reimbursing the county
for the balance of the cost of the sur.
vey for the Colubmia highway through
the county, giving Judge Stanton a
check for 81, 000.l0. He formerly paid
the county the sum of $52l. and the
State Highway Commission reimbursed
the county for the purchase of instru-
ments and equipment, having recently
forwarded to County Clerk Hanson q
check for $56l.60. The county has now

NARROW ESCAPE in
PECULIAR ACCIDENT

Mrs. F. e. Matt, lifting a heavy ve-
hicle on her back Tuesday afternoon.
when it had turned turtle on the Bar
rett road. with one hand holding the
reins and steadyine a badly frightened
horse, used the other hand in pushing
her three children to places of safety
by the roadside. Mrs. Matt was driv-
ing with her young children, leading a
cow behind the buggy. An automobile
scared the COW, which dashing to one
side pulled the buggy over. 1t was
feared that the horse. which was dane
ing with fear, would run away and
possibly drag Mrs. Matt and her chill
dren to death or seriously injure them.
But with amazing calmness she quieted
the horse and saved the children, who
were not scratched. Her own injuries
we're confined to several bruises.

MADE STUDY OF EPIDEMIC
Young American Doctors Braved Death
to Investigate Causes of Dread
Pneumonia Plague.

In the fourteenth century an cpl
demic known to students as the black
death swept over the larger part Of
the civilized world. 1t started in
northern China, worked it's way west
ward, and ultimately destroyed 25,OOO,-
900 people in Europe. one-fourth of
the total population. Two years ago
this same disease, now scientifically
rechristened the pneumonia plague,
started again in its old medieval birth
place-and in less than three months
destroyed $4,000 people.
This recent outbreak in Manchuria
is the first time the disease in extern
sive epidemic form has visited the
civilized world in 500 years. 1t was
the first opportunity that modern med
ical science has ever had to study the
disease at first hand.
Two young Americans, DR.. Richard
p. Strong and DR.. Oscar league, in
the face Of all kinds Of dangers and
discouragements forced their way into
the heart Of the plague infested re-
gion, established rough and ready sci
entifc laboratories at Mukden, made
a large number Of autopsies upon the
stricken Chinamen-the first which
had ever been performed in this an
cient capital, the religious scruples Of
the Chinese having prevented expert
ments of the kind-and, in a bulky
volume recently issued at Manila,
have presented to the scientific world
a detailed and comprehensive study of
this disease-probably the most IA
nous in history and romance as it is
certainly the most terrible in the rap
idity and uniformly fatal character Of
it's results.-The Worlds Work.

Danqerous Medicinal DRUGS.

annually and IS per cent. of this is
manufactured into morphine. This
physician would even prohibit the use
of alcohol as a drug He alleges that
90 per cent. of the members Of the
medical profession are now addicted
to the use of morphine. This indict,
ment is SO sweeping that the words
of this specialist must be taken by lay,
men with several grains Of sodium

QUEEN ENA OF SPAIN is GROWING OLD RAPIDLY

she affords striking example of the
beautifying results of fashionable
clothes Always extremely pretty,
with wonderful blond cOloring. lovely
hair and handsome eyes, Queen Ena's
figure had the serious defect of being
high-shOuldered and short-necked.
This appearance has now been got rid
Of, and the grace and beauty Of her
neck and shoulders are undeniable.
The prospect Of facing a regency in
Spain for some years, at any rate
while her eldest son is under age,
must have a wearing effect on Queen
Ena. and especially as it is so freely
predicted that she could never sus-
tain the position successfully in the
face of the letting loose of not mere
ly Republican but revolutionary forces
expected to follow the death of the
present king.
However, Queen Ena will not fail
for want of brains, for it is said she

does fail it will be owing to bad ad-
