Oliver H. Beagle, who when he

war in 1865 furnished his own horse
today received warrant from the
state of Oregon for 800, the price
of the animal. The claim has been
pending all these intervening years,
and for the past two years the Adju-
tant-General has been endeavoring
to locate Mr.. Beagle and to settle
the same. Just recently 1t was dis
covered that the veteran OF the In

Guernsey, Dairy Herd
is Given to College

A herd of 26 high-producing reg.
istered Guernsey dairy cattle has
been given to the dairy department
of the Oregon Agricultural College
by w. B, Aver, noted breeder and
former food administrator for Ore
gon The stock was taken from Mr..
Ayers Foothill farm and was re-
ceived at the College in good shape
on Wednesday, February 26.
This splendid herd balances up
the College herd among the four ma
jor dairy Breeds" said L. W. Wing,
speaking for the dairy department.
"Up to this time the Jerseys, Hol-
stems and Ayershires have greatly
outnumbered the Guernsdys. The
addition will give wide opportunity
for training students in judging, and
also strengthen the experimental
work"
The money value of the gift to the
people of Oregon thru their state
College is close to $4,000 says Mr..
Wing.
The herd bull is Katonahs Se-
quel's Masher, grandson of imported
Masher's Sequel, who has the long
est lineage of noted registered Guern-
seys in America. He also won first
prize at the PACIFIC International
and many Oregon state fairs. Anoth-
er is Governor of the Gree, rich in
the blood of Governor of Chene, one
Of the noted bulls of the breed. Os-
seo's Masterpiece, related. to i'm.
ported Golden Secret and Masher's
Sequel, is the third member of the
trio.
Four of the COWS wear on their
horns the lock and chain which are
invariably attached to registered ami
male before they are allowed to leave
the Isle Of Guernsey.
Several members of the herd have
enviable show records in Americs
and ireland.

No Referendum on
Dry Amendment

The referendum cannot be invoked
by the people of Oregon on a joint
resolution, adopted by the last legis-
lature, ratifying the national prohi-
bition amendment to the federal con-
stitution. This is the emphatic posi-
tion taken by Attorney General
Brown in an opinion to Secretary Of
State 0lcutt. Anticipating lawsuit
over the question, the opinion Of the
attorney general virtually amounts
to a brief, setting forth the argu-
ment covering the points in which
Mr.. Brown holds, is impossible to re-
fer the resolution to the electorate.
The question was submitted to At
torney General Brown by the office
of the secretary of state when ref
erendum petition forms were filed at
the secretary's office to be referred
to the attorney general for ballot
title. The petition was filed by Dan
j. Malarkey, a Portland attorney,
representing Karl Herbring, who,
presumably, represents interests who
are hit by the prohibition enactment.
Attorney General Brown points
out that when the secretary Of state
transmits to the attorney general to
refer a law or to initiate measure,
it is not for the attorney general to
say whether the proposed act is good
or bad, constitutional or an uncon-
stNutional act; but when the petition
proposes to submit not a bill or
proposed act, nor to refer a law, but
proposes to refer a resolution ratify-
ing an amendment, then 1t is the
duty of the attorney generals office
to refuse to write the title for such
petition.
ITO do so would be a violation of
our obligation to the state" says Mr..
Brown. The opinion goes deeply in
to the definition of the term "act" to
show that it is not synonymous with
resolution for purposes of the ref
erendum.
Z ut is manifest to my mind" says
the opinion, that the power of the
referendum is intended to apply sole
ly to the law-making power of the
legislature, and that any attempt to
refer, under the provisions of the ini-
tiative and referendum, laws consti-
tutional and statutory, the resolution
transmitted is contrary to law in
such case made and provided"
: Another part of the opinion shows
that matters submitted to the peo-
pie for acceptance or rejection are
measures, bills or acts that become
law upon their approval, hence the
resolutions are not covered within
the meaning Of the provision.

War Nitrates Will
Be Used By Farmers

Settlement of claims involving de-
tailed inventories and reviews of ac-
counts is slowing up cancellation of
war contracts, the war departm ent
announced in a statement which
showed that Of s2,941, 100000 in
contracts recommended for cancella-
tion the actual closing out had reach
ed a total of $1S5,132,O6S on Feb
ruary 81.
1t was disclosed also that explo-
sives valued at $4,000, 900 had been
transferred from surplus stocks to
the interior department for land
clearing, road building and similar
work; and that more than half Of
the billion and a half pounds of
surplus sodium nitrate valued at
s57,000,00O would be disposed of
for agricultural and commercial pur.
poses. The remainder is to be held
for the present by the ordnance de-
partment.
The nitrate surplus represents ac-
quisitions since the beginning of the
war. The department of agriculture
is to acquire from the army 1884,
100000 pounds for use as fertilizer,
paying cost price, while the remain
ing surplus in the United States will
he handled thru the nitrate board
and the American nitrate pool. The
surplus in Chile, representing about
a third Of the total, will be handled
thru the British pool at not less than
cost price.
The explosives acquired by the in
terror department will be stored tenn
porarily at war department maga-
zines at Fort Wingate, N. M; Sparta,
Wis, and Charleston, S. c., the inter-
ior department being prepared to
store itself about 100000 pounds.
Storage of explosives is giving the
war department some trouble.
Attention again has been invited
to the fact that all claims growing
out of informal contracts and agree
ments must be presented before June
so.
