Tallahassee, Fla, Sert. ID
Govcrno: Pr-.: IT, nell today de-
cided TO use $1,000 II the apOropria-
tion for the contingent expenses Of
the State in aiding to carry On the
work of eXterminating the citrus
canker. AS this appropriation is
small the assistance can Only be
given by the governor curtailing
other expenditures usually made
from this fund. This the governor
saws he will gladly do, nowe>pr, in
order to aid in the fight to check
the canker.
The governor greatly regrets that
there are no other State funds avail
able which he has authority to use
in the fight to exterminate the cit
rue canker; but all appropriations
of the States moneys are made by
the Legislature for specific purposes
and the governor and all other State
officers are prohibited by law from
using any State funds except in the
manner and for the purposes pre-
scribed by the Legislature.
In his message to the Legislature
of 1913, Governor Trammeu urged
that body to make q continuing ap-

available for use in stamping out
and preventing the spread of any
disease or insect which threatens
anv of our agricultural OF horticul-
tural interests to such an extent a;
to become a public menace Much
to Governor Trammells regret
however, the Legislature failed tC
make the appropriation Had th'
governors recommendation beer
adopted there would now be avail
able S4.5OO of State funds for use
in fighting the citrus canker ant
three thousand dollars mere woult
have become available Jan. l mex
year.
TN addition to applying $1,000 t
assist in the campaign to free tn
state of the citrus canker, Govern
or Trammell is today issuing an ap
peal to the public urging the citl
zens of Florida, especially those il
the citrus belt to assist by contrlpu
tions and in any other ways prac
ticable in preventing the advance o
spread. and in the determination o
this dangerous enemy of the frui
Groves which constitute so large
part of the States wealth. B Y con

London, Sept. 19.-The battle of
Aisne, now on the sixth day, has
into the supreme conflict
of the French campaign. News of a
lull in the artillery duel indicates
that a tremendous infantry advance
is likely to mark today's struggle.
Berlin reports that the German
shortage of ammunition has been
rectified. French officers back from
the front say the strain on both
sides is likely to get beyond the linn
it of human endurance. If that sit
uation develops the allies must cut
the German communications to pre-
vent a disheartening winter cam
paign. 1t is admitted that the sit
uation is extremely difficult.
Petrograd reports that the Ger.
man advance has been halted. The
Austrians have fortified a new line
of defense from Drohobyed tt
Przemyl. They expect the Russians
to attack Immediately.
1t is reported that England'i
most famous regiments were mowr

Man Is Lost
Long in Caves

After being lost in the Marble
Caves for nineteen hours, part of
which time he was unconscious,
George E. Love of Portland reached
Grants Pass apparently little worse
for his experience.
Love, accompanied by Fred l..
Carlton, visited the caves during the
absence of the government" guide,
they became separated in a winding
passage and Love wandered into the
grotto of the main trail. His light
blew out and by a misstep he fell
twenty feet into a hole.
Carlton made every attempt to find
him and, failing, made his way out
side, where he got the help of 'he
guide. Together they searched for
more than eight hours before finding
Love. Aside from a severe lacera-
tion of his back, Love is in good con-
dition. Carlton is the more worn
out of the two, from long search and
anxiety.
Carlton and Love are making a
trip on foot from Portland TO the
Mexican border. They went to the
caves on Monday.

The first threshing has begun in
the valley at Jacksonville, with the
Learned machine. They are working
this week with a crew of sixteen men.
The wheat crop all over the valley is
very fine and much heavier than last
year, the heads being long and the
grain yielding much more to the acre.
This year is anticipated to be one of
the greatest in the history of the
country. The railroads are doing
great planning to have plenty of cars
on the coast for grain service.

Can State Saloons
Be Closed?

Assuming that it receives a ma
jority vote at the general election,
will the proposed statewide prohibi-
ton constitutional amendment be of
any effect in closing the saloons in
Oregon?
This question is being discussed
in Salem and well-known lawyers say
that it will. OF all the twenty-nine
general measures that will go on the
ballot, none will draw the fire of
clashing forces more than this one
aimed at the liquor business.
1t is pointed out that the proposed
amendment will not be effective be-
cause it fails to provide any penalty
for violating the prohibition con-
tained in the measure.
This feature was pointed out to
Joseph H. Albert Of Salem, one of
the initiators of the measure, some
time before the completed petition
was filed. Mr.. Albert took the mat
ter up with members of the commit
tee behind the amendment in Port
land, and it was evidently decided
that the amendment as drafted was
sufficient as no changes were made.
The measure adds section So to
article l of the constitution, which
says: From and after January l,
1916, no Intoxicating liquors shall be
manufactured or sold within this
state, except for medicinal purposes
upon prescription of licensed ply
sician, or for scientific, sacramental
or mechanical purposes.
The next and concluding paragraph
says: This section is self-executing,
and all provisions of the constitution
and laws of the state and of the
charters and ordinances OF all cities,
towns and other municipalities there
in, in conflict with the provisions OF
this section, are hereby repealed"
While this paragraph says that
the amendment is "self-executing,
attorneys say that the self-executing
clause means nothing. They ask what
will be done in case saloons continue
to run after the amendment is adopt
| ed, as the amendment provides for no
penalties and repeals all other laws
in conflict with it.
On the other hand, other lawyers
contend that the amendment does not
repeal the portions of the local OPP
tion law providing penalties for the
sale of liquor in dry territory, and
they say that these penalties would
apply in case. the statewide. ,prohibi-
tion amendment is adopted.

Boost For New
Ceautauqua Building

Boost for a new Chautauqua build
ing! That will be the watchword
from now on. We must not let an
other session go by without having
new and better auditorium for it to
take place in.
Monday afternoon booster meet
ing was held in the Chautauqua
building, and about three hundred
attended. G. F. Billings was the first
speaker and brought up the subject,
stating that it would take, as near
as he could find out, about $4,000
to erect building suitable for the
programs to be held in. He suggest
ed one that would have good dress
ing rooms, an up-to-date stage, asbes-
tos shingles, and planed lumber in
side, so that it could be freshened
with paint easily and at scant cost.
DR.. Platenburg, the afternoons
lecturer, gave short talk, urging the
construction of new auditorium, as
it is great factor in the development
and broadening of the ideals of a
city and country.
The real treat of the meeting was
when DR.. Bell of Corvallis made an
address. He used to live in Ashland
forty-one years ago, and later dedi-
Gated the present building. His dry,
laughter-provoking and straight-to-
the point talk was very impressive.
He brought out what a great factor
the Chautauqua season would be in
connection with the springs. Hold
on to your Chautauqua grounds. This
can be made the greatest Chautauqua
on the Pacific coast. Borrow every
cent. Build the structure. Bring in
the lithia springs. 1t will repay you
| twenty-fold. DR.. Bell offered him
self to take $4,000 worth of bonds,
showing his faith in the venture. He
thought that it should be started the
first of September, so that the audi
torium could be used for other gath
erings, and as social center of the
valley and city.
Nothing further was done at the
meeting, as there were very few bust
ness men present. Talk it up. DR.
Bell will deliver the dedication ad.
dress on its completion.

After reading the numerous able

would seem not only audacious but

stem the rising tide of romanticism
and (shall l sayD sentimentalism;
nevertheless, the feeling within me
is too strong to be resisted, and l
take up my pen in defense of the old
names, the older and more character
istic of the west, the better.
II seems to me that In retaining
the old, rugged names like Ashland
Butte, Wagner Butte, Grizzly Peak
and Roper's Bunlon we honor the
pioneers who gave the names, and
who are so fittingly represented by
these grand old peaks.
II we need a few Lovers Lanes

have them, but let us not remove

original names.
