perhaps Jane Eyre did not appeal
to Carol Pemberton because Mabel Bal

or because she acted her part to Il tee.
I think Jane Eyre was wonderful as

Weather conditions in Washing

what the forest fire situation
which yesterday was assuming
what were characterized as alarm
ing proportions.
In western Washington, where
the fires We're most threatening
today, southwesterly wind was
aiding in keeping the flames un-
der control, although 1t was not
helping fire fighters to any con
siderable extent. In the eastern
part Of the state moderation Of
the heavy winds of yesterday less
ened the danger today OIL the
flames getting out of control.
A number of small fires were
burning today in almost every for
ested county in eastern Washing
ton and noTthern Idaho. A fire in
Stevens county, Washington, was
within half mile of the town OF
Aliadin today, and was threaten
ing serious damage to timber, al
though the town itself was not be
lieyeds to be in danger. About Al

ONPART|SANS
REPUD|ATED BY
TAX REDUCERS

Reputation of the non-partisan
league was the only important ac-
ton taken by the state tax reduc-
ton clubs at their convention
held here yesterday in the court
house.
The attempt of r. D. Coulter of
Portland, former representative of
the non-partisan league, to gain
the endorsement of the league for
a state owned bank such as has
been tried in North Dakota, fell
flat when Seymour Jones, ex-
speaker of the lower house of the
legislature, urged that the con-
vention make no such mistake.
When the question was put to the
delegates, but three voted for it.
A resolution favoring a farm
bloc in the state legislature was
introduced by Peter Zimmerman
of Yamhill county and passed.
In the report of the platform
committee adopted by the conven-
tion the tax reducers went on rec
ord as antagonistic to further in
creases in taxation and larger ap-
preparations for state educational
institutions, and favoring the re-
call and income tax measures ini-
tiated by the state grange.
j. D. Brown was elected to head
the state organization following
the resignation of ]. c. Cooper OF
