Special Quotations for
White Sale:
AUTOMOBILE LICENSE
FEES FINALLY AGREED ON

Thanks to Ben Sheldon, OF Jackson
county, the people of Oregon will
pay a sum for their automobile IL
censes substantially less than the
scale set forth In the new state mo-
tor code as originally adopted by the
senate Thursday afternoon. When the
the bill was returned to the house
for concurrence in amendments Shell
don took determined stand that the
senate had increased the fees be-
yond reason, and lined the house up
in a refusal to concur. A confer
ence committee, composed jointly of
the house and senate, was then ap-
pointed and finally compromised up
on an appreciably reduced scale.
Ratification of the new scale as
adopted by the conference committee
was the last official act of the 30th
assembly of the Oregon legislature.
AS the code now stands. motor
vehicle licenses in the state are in
creased approximately 100 per cent.
The increase will not be sharply felt,
however, as the code provides that
motor vehicles will in the future be
exempted from the personal property
tax heretofore assessed by the vari-
Gus counties. In lieu of the tax
money, the counties will receive from
the state a percentage of the license
fees. The state money will be used
for repairs and upkeep of the hun
dreds of miles of hard-surface roads
to be built with the SIG, 1000 900 now
available.
The house, under Sheldon's ban
ner, has stood from the first for a
more moderate increase in license
fees, while with the senate the sky
has been the limit. The conference
committee which worked out the
compromise schedule, was composed
of Senators Orton, Eddy and Ritner
and Representatives Hare, Bean and
Schuebel.
The rates on trucks, trailers, mo-
tor bicycles and motorcycles were
not in dispute and remained as fixed
some time ago. The final agree
ment on the schedule for motor cars
follows: All steam, gasoline and hy-
dra-carbon operated vehicles Except
motor trucks having rated maxi
mum load-carrying capacity Of one
ton and over up to and including 23
horsepower SIS; in excess OF 23
horsepower and including 26 horse
power, $22; in excess of 26 horse
power and including 80 horsepower,
$2S; in excess Of 80 and including.
s6 horsepower, $S6; in excess of S6.
and including 40 horsepower, $4S,
in excess Of 40 horsepower, $50.

WANT OFFICIALS BARRED
FROM ANNOYING PAsSEN,

According to the Medford Mail
Tribune, protest has been made by
the Southern Pacific officials to the
county authorities against men
boarding trains and searching the
baggage of passengers for contra
band liquor. A notice has been is
sued, 1t is claimed, by M, ]. Buckley,
federal manager of the S. p, that
passengers have been annoyed by Of
ficers boarding trains and searching
their baggage without proper author
ity. Owing to these charges the Of
ficials have found 1t necessary, in
order to accomplish two objects
first, that of suppressing as far as
possible the illegal liquor traffic and,
second, to protect passengers from
the violation Of the constitutional
and personal rights-to issue the fol-
lowing orders, signed by Mr.. Buckley
as general manager:
1. The administration must sup.
press all Illicit traffic in violation OF
the federal and state laws. Whers
sufficient information comes to your
notice, advise the railroad special
agents, state or federal authorities.
2. Employees shall not permit a
search of passengers of their bag
gage without the party making the
search is an official duly authorized
to do so. Passengers on trains must

PENNSYLVANIA HAS
CORRECT ROAD LAWS

Over in Pennsylvania they have
road laws which seem to be built on
the right plan. Near Erie a move
ment is on foot to arrest all road
supervisors who fail to care for the
roads in their district. Failure to keep
the roads in repair makes the super
visors liable to punishment under the
law.
IL Ohio had such road law a good
many road supervisors in Medina
county would be in for trouble If
people, had disposition to enforce the
law. Many Of the roads in the county
are in bad condition. Especially is
this the case with the unimproved
roads, while many Of the so-called i'm
proved roads are seriously in need Of
attention.

THOMAS fERRIMAN
CALLED BY DEATH
LIFE LONG CITIZEN i"
OF MEDINA COUNTY
Was Prominent Business Man And
A Civil War
Veteran.

In the death of Thomas c. Ferriman
at a. m. on Tuesday of this week
the village lost prominent and high
ly esteemed business man, the county
a lifelong resident. Death was the
result of Bright's disease from which
Mr.. Ferriman had been a sufferer for
a number of years.
Born in Sharon township April 8,
1845, the son of Holden and Nancy
Ferriman, deceased attended the school
at that place until 16 years of age,
when he went to Richfeld and became
a harness makers apprentice, which
trade he followed but few months.
From here he enlisted in the Civil
War and was member of Battery
A, 1st Ohio Light Artillery, serving
his country faithfully until Aug. 10,
1865, when he received an honorable
discharge.
Returning from camp he moved to
Brunswick, where he purchased a
farm and engaged in the grain and
stock-buying business. 1t was here on
December II, 1868, that he married
Angeline Meacham of Strongsville.
To this union two sons were born,
Orlen F., of Cleveland, and Myron Ii.
of Medina.
In 1883 Mr.. Ferriman moved his
family to Medina and accepted a
position as grain buyer for the B. FL.
Wood Co., which position he held for
ten years. During this period, ON
April 26, 1891, Mr.. Ferriman was sad
dened by the death of his wife.

married Miss Mary Kunitz of Medina,
and a year later purchased A. L.:
Lewis interest in the clothing firm Of
Lewis & Nichols. In 1900 the firm
name was again changed to Nichols,
Ferriman & Co., his son Myron enter
ing the business. In 1911 Mr.. Mich
OILS retired, since which time the busi-
ness has been known as Thos.
Ferriman & Son. Although illness
prevented him from a strict attendance
to his business Mr.. Ferriman took as
active a part as his health would per-
nit.
, In 1900 deceased was elected to the
: board of directors Of The Ohio Far
: nners' Insurance Co., and was the SEN
!, ior member of the board at the time
), of his death. He also belonged tt
the local Masonic order.

Searles, the latter a lifelong frient
of the deceased, officiating. Th'
Masons held burial services at tn
