ANTIQUITY OF TOBACCO

The idea that tobacco was known
in Europe since the discovery of
America is not correct. The Modes
and Persians smoked norghiles as
scripture proves, and Greeks and Ro-
mans smoked in their colonies. Ma
lays smoked also, and the very word
"cigar" comes from the word "sa
kara" the Arab word meaning smoke,
and the Arabs smoked before the
days of Columbus. A good cigar, or a
fragrant pipe is best enjoyed with a
good book and a bottle of golden

BONDS FOR PAVING
NOT TO Be VOTED ON
Supreme Court Holds Petition
Was Filed One Day
Too Late

Because Attorney Richardson was
one day late in filing the inia.
tive measure for bonding the
city of Salem for the paving of the
streets and as result there was only
:9 davs instead o. thirty following its
filing, the writ of mandamus asked by
Josie L. Stewart to compel Bert Macy,
city attorney, and Charles f. Elgin,
city recorder to place the title of the
initiative measure on the ballot for the
general city election December, 1910,
was denied this morning by the Oregon
supreme court and the demurrer inter-
posed by the defendant city was sus-
tanned.
S. T. Richardson appeared for The
petitioner and Bert Macy for the de-
fendant city. The petition states that
the initiative measure was signed by
the requisite number of qualified vo;-
ers and was in proper form and was
filed with the city recorder "on or be-
tween November and November 4, and
that the next general election occurs
on December A."
Justice Bean in rendering the opin-
ion, says the city officers demurred to
the alternative writ for the reason thar
it, does not state facts sufficient TO
constitute cause of action. 1t is point
cd out that the former city ordinance
required sixty days filing before the
election. The contention OF the city is
that the petition was not filed with
the recorder within the time required
by law. 1t was insisted that, the ordi.
nance amending and reducing the time
for filing did not 90 into effect until
ten davs after approval by the mayor
or November 6, and therefore there was
no time for compliance with the terms
before the election ldf December 1.
The contrary was maintained by the
counsel for the plaintiff.
Assuming without deciding that the
ordinance approved October % is IN
force and the date of the election De-
ccmber 4" said Justice Bean, "by the
terms of the latter ordinance an initf
ative petition must be filed not later
than thirty days before that date. The
last day would beN November 3. After
the filing thirty days must elapse'
The petition was filed November 4,
