The diplomatic corps at this, one Of

the powers skill maintain fun repre-
sentaticn, is UNANIMOUSLY convinced
that war between Italy and Austria is

even said in we'll informed quarters
that Germany secretly desires that
Austria should he faced by another

In such case, runs the argument,
the possibility might arise Of sep

AIDS TO DIGESTION

Whatever improves bodily conditions in general aids digestion.
 Cheerfulness, exercise, fresh air, baths and good habits make your digestion bet ter able to take care of any burdens you impose upon it. But the greatest aid to good digestion is good blood. Anemia, or thin blood, is common cause ofindi- gestion. Normal action of the stomach is impossible without healthy, well-oxi- dized blood.
 Dyspepsia which does not yield to ordi- nary treatment may be quickly corrected when the blood is enriched. Many peo- pie have secured relief from chronic forms of indigestion by the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills which make the blood rich and red, capable of carrying an increased amount of oxygen, the great supporter of human life
 Have you ever seriously considered giv- ing Dr. Williams Pink Pills trial to tone up your digestion, increase your vitality and make life better worth liv- ing? If your blood is thin and your di- geston weak you certainly need them. Send for diet book. It is free and will help you decide.
 Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills or they will be mailed post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.5O, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.

PATIENT BATTLES PHYSICIAN
Becomes Unconscious at Frequent In
tervals Without Apparent Cause.

DR.. Starbuck has one of the most
peculiar cases that has ever come un-
der his observation, at the Dallas hos
pital, in the person of Joe Zezic, who
came to the institution several weeks
ago suffering from dead bone in one
of his legs. From all appearances
the leg is practically well, the decay
ed bone having been successfully re-
moved, and the patient for some time
past has frequently been down town
and about the hospital grounds, yet
Ihe has "spells" when he suddenly and
without apparent cause lapses into
unconsciousness without perceptible
pulse beats, regaining consciousness in
from one to twenty-four hours after
ward seemingly strong and well.
When the pulse is at its lowest ebb
the heart beats are strong, which
makes the case all the more battling
to his physician. This condition can
not, in the opinion of DR.. Starbuck,
Continue long, the "spells" having
gained in frequency during the past
fortnight.

DOCUMENT OF PIONEER DAYS
lightning Rat Trap illustrates the
Manner of Catching Rodents.

In the year 1867, when Dave
Holmes was county recorder, patent
right was made matter of record in
Polk county, and still stands as cur
iosity of pioneer days. In that early
period it was necessary to record the
sale of rights of this character, and
the document referred to gave u GER
tain territory to the purchasers for
the manufacture and distribution of
what was known as the "Lightning"
rat trap. Not only is the trap itself
fully and minutely described, together
with drawing of the contrivance, but
the document has pictured upon it
more than a dozen rats, all evidently
seeking to become victims of the
deadly machine, which is guaranteed
to do the business with neatness and
dispatch. When Ed. Smith and Chet.
Coad, who are indexing the deeds of
territorial days down to 1907, ran
across this instrument each gazed in
wonderment at the other, and then in
CONCERT remarked: care we seeing
things?"

TAX PENALTY REMOVED
SENATE AMENDS BILL TO MEET
WITH APPROVAL OF HOUSE.
Semi-Annual Payment Feature Re
tained but Only Interest to Be
Added on First Installment.

The new tax bill as passed by the
senate provides for no penalty on de-
linquent first half taxes. A bill pro-
viding for penalty of 2 per cent was
passed by the senate Thursday, but
the house refused to concur in it, and
the conference committees agreed to
eliminate the penalty. Interest at the
rate of l per cent a month is all the
delinquent will be required to pay un-
til after November 5, when 5 per
cent penalty will be added on all
unpaid taxes.
1t was thought by majority OF
the senators that small penalty on
first half taxes would be necessary to
induce early payments, but the house
believed the interest of l per cent a
month would do this. Senator Per
kins, chairman of the senate commit
tee on assessment and taxes, said that
in Multnomah county to pay current
expenses 65 per cent of the total
should be received on the first pay
ments.
What is considered the important
feature of the new bill is the one pro-
viding two tax-paying periods-April
5 and October 5. Under the existing
law all taxes are due April l, and if
half are paid at that time interest
and penalty Immediately attach to the
balance.
The bill providing that the sheriffs
shall be the tax collectors passed both
houses and has become a law. The
treasurers, however, will collect taxes
until the law becomes operative, nine
ty days from date of its adoption.

ELECTION AUTHORIZED
STATE LEGISLATURE PROVIDES
FOR REFERENDUM VOTE.
Measure Authorizing Vote Next No
vember Passed as Foresight for
Dry Act and Others.

A special election to be held on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November for the purpose of con-
sidering measures enacted by the re-
cent legislative sessions was author
lied by bill that went through both
houses early Sunday morning just
prior to adjournment. The bill does
not provide for an election unless the
referendum is invoked against any OF
the measures passed by this session.
The sum of $4,000 is appropriated
by the state for that purpose. 1t is
estimated that the cost of special
election will approximate 100000,
but the balance Of the fund must be
met by the various counties.
Friends of the prohibition measure
were particularly interested to have
the bill passed, as they fear referen-
dunn will be applied. The law be-
comes effective January l, 1916, con
currently with the prohibition amend
ment to the constitution adopted by
the people last fall. Had the spec.
ial election not been authorized and
the bill referred, it could not have
been voted upon by the people nnti
the election in November, 1916, and
the prohibition amendment would
have been in effect without law to
make it operative.
Any other legislation passed by this
session also can be referred in the
regular manner and voted upon next
November under provisions of thii
bill.

PLAN BIG CIVIC meet
PROMINENT LADY WORKERS IN
PORTLAND TO SPEAK.
Inauguration of Campaign Designed
to Renovate and Beautify the
Home Town.

Mrs. Bertha Taylor Voorhorst and
Miss Alice V. Joyce of Portland will
deliver addresses at the high school
auditorium next Friday evening on
industrial and civic topics, illustrat-
ing with lantern slides the work that
is being accomplished along these
lines in this country and abroad. The
lectures will be under the joint aus
pices of committees from the Dallas
Woman's club and the Commercial
club, of which Mrs. D. P. Patterson
and Mr.. A. L. Martin and the respec-
tive chairmen.
Mrs. Voorhost's connection with
the Greater Portland Plans associa-
ton, the City Beautiful committee OF
the Rose Festival, and the Cleanup
campaign has placed her in the lime
light as a worker along civic lines,
and Dallas is indeed fortunate in be-
ing able to secure her to lecture here.
Miss Joyce, who is teacher in the
public schools Of Portland, is an ex-
pert in school garden work, and has
travelled abroad extensively studying
these topics. She should, therefore,
be enabled to give some valuable in
formation on city beautifying, one OF
the foremost objects of the meeting.
1t is the purpose Of the two local
organizations named to inaugurate a
vigorous campaign for renovating and
beautifying Dallas, and the meeting
Friday evening has in view the crea-
ton of interest in this commendable
undertaking among its citizens. There
will be no admission fee charged, and
the Joint committee extends a most
cordial invitation to all to attend,
assuring each and every one that it
will be we'll worth while. The talks
and illustrations will be instructive
and entertaining.

new ROUTE
COAST ROAD SHORTER AND HAS
MUCH LESS GRADE.
County Surveyor Garfield Contends
That $4,000 Would Be Saved in
Cost of Construction.

County Surveyor C. R. Garfield re
turned yesterday from the Crane
Ronde section, where he spent severa
days doing some work for private
parties. While absent Mr.. Garfield
located new road over the summit
in Polk county as a part Of the pro-
posed trunk line from Portland to
Tillamook, it being only short dis
tance from the route recently survey
ed, yet having maximum grade not
exceeding 3 per cent at any point be-
tween Bentley and the summit. The
grade west of the summit is very sim
liar. The newly-discovered route, ac-
cording to Mr.. Garfield, is fully a
mile shorter in Polk county than the
one previously selected, which would
save about $4,000 in construction.
The road is also less winding.
Mr.. Ross Shrieves, surveyor for
lTillamook county, approves of the
line, and will perform his work ac-
cordingly, meeting the new condi-
tions. Mr.. Garfield says there is con-
Siderable opposition to the construc-
tion of The proposed highway by
Yamhillers residing in that locality,
and that they have induced the coun-
ty court to visit the Sour Grass sec
tion tomorrow with view to getting
the road through there.

Makes a Good Showing.

In its monthly report of the sani-
tary conditions of hotels, meat mar
kets, restaurants and dairies in the
Willamette valley, the Dairy and
Food commission gives the Dallas
Meat company a rating of 1913, or
higher than that given any similar in
stitution in the territory mentioned
last year. The rating, when every
thing is taken into account, is an ex-
ceptionally good one, and is equalled
by only two other markets in the val
ley, they being new institutions at
Newberg and Sheridan.

.pOLK'S LOSS IS LIGHT
AMOUNT OF TIMBER DESTROY
ED NOTHING.
Eighty-fve Fires Reported by Patrol
men, Burning Over Approx
mately $50 Acres.

In his annual report for 1914 the
state forester has the following con-
cerning the work of the Polk County
Fire Patrol association, which was Or
ganized in May, 1913, and which
takes in all of the timbered districts
Of the county except township 9
south, ranges Z and west; township
z south, range west, and the north
half of township 7 south, range Z
west, which territory was patrolled
under the direction of James D. Lac
ey & Company.
ga fire patrol assessment AZ the
rate of two cents an acre was levied
and collected from the owners OF the
86,739 acres listed with the associa-
ton. This sum, together with an un-
expended balance of $119.56 and a
payment of 5000 from the federal
fund for the patrol of the 0. & G..
grant lands, was sufficient to defray
the expenses of the patrol and fire
fighting work and leave balance Of
approximately $4,000. The state
board of forestry assisted the asso-
citation to the extent of $8S2.7l. This
money was used in paying the salary
and expenses of the association man
ager, who also acted as supervising
warden for the state, and in paying,
from the Weeks Law fund, salaries of
two patrolmen who were turned over
to the association. The salaries of
nine patrolmen, amounting to 81, ,39l.-
90, were paid by the association.
"Five miles of telephone line was
constructed and two telephones in
stalled. The cost of this work aver
aged $26.57 per mile. Some 10 miles
of old trail was opened up and ten
miles of new trail constructed at a
cost of $250.00. A total of 85 fires
were reported by the patrolmen.
These burned over $50 acres without
resulting in destruction to standing
timber, although logs hnd logging
equipment to the amount of $625 were
destroyed. >"

BIG DOMAIN OBJECTIVE
STATE is AUTHORIZED TO SUE
FOR 100000 ACRES.
Legislature Authorizes Oregonto Take
Steps to Obtain Railroad Land
Grant if Government Wins.

Intervention by the state of Oregon
in the Oregon & California land grant
case is authorized by Senator Gu
sick's joint memorial adopted by both
houses of the legislature Saturday
night. The proposed intervention is
for the purpose of securing and
protecting the best interests Of the
state of Oregon and its citizens and
to take any and all steps ana pro-
ceedings which may be necessary or
permissible to safeguard such inter-
ests."
The measure calls attention to the
fact that more than 100000 acres OF
land involved in the suit will be with
drawn from taxation in the various
counties of the western part OF the
state if the federal government wins
the suit and title to the property re-
verts to the government. Under pro-
visions of the original grant of July
25, 1866, the Oregon & California
railroad was required to sell this land
to actual settlers at price not to
exceed $3.50 an acre. For the al
legged noncompliance with this pro-
vision the government has brought
suit against the railroad and is max
ing an effort to have the property for
feited. The case now is pending IN
the United States Supreme court.
Should the property revert to the
government the several affected coun'
ties will be unable to collect taxes
The legislative resolution authorizes
the attorney-general to intervene IL
the case in the hope that the govern
ment, in the event that it wins title
can be induced to place the land OF
the market, so that it can be opened
for settlement.
The withdrawal of this land from
taxation will have quite serious effec
upon Polk county, there being 3701S
acres within its borders. The tota
state tax levied upon this property il
74,67O.12, and the amount assessed
and not paid is $13,557.59. In add
ton to the above is the county anC
school tax.

Osteorathy Measure Passes.

over the news that the bill the osteo-
paths had advocated has been passed
by the state Legislature. The meas
ure calls for a three-year course OF
nine months each year before an ap-

Oregon, and after February, 1918
every applicant for an osteopath GER
tifcate must have had high school
education and four-year course OF
eight months every year in an insti-
tuition which does not teach materia
medica, pharmacology or prescription
sgriting.

WHAT'S BECOME OF THE COIN?
Falls City Auditor Instructed tc
Search for Missing Money.

The Falls City council wants to
know where the money derived from
the sale of street improvement bonds
may be found. At a recent session of
that body the auditor was instructed
to search diligently and to ascertain
if possible what had become of the
money due the city from such sale,
and it is probable that the matter
will be figured out in due course of
time. "It appears" says the News
in commenting on the situation, "that
