Women Invade Chess Clubs.

Female chess players in Europe are
being admitted to the realms of clubs
that heretofore have been exclusively
for men. Previous to this year they
were permitted to attend only on rare
occasions, and then by special dispen.
sation, dinners at which they listened
to tales of the prowess OF men at the
game. Recently the bars have been
le down, and women and girls are
seen at nearly all events. The grow
ing number of female experts at chess
has caused the change.

to discriminate, and figured they
were playing safe by voting mo"
all along the line. Consequently,
Gov. Patterson is still up against
the deficit, and nobody, it seems,
has a plan for pulling the state
out of its financial jack-box.
Most of Oregon's trouble, it APP
pears, is due to the fact that the
state has six per cent tax limit
alton on it's basic valuation which
is kept down by low local assess
ments. The people refused to let
the state tax commission control
local assessments, as is the case
in Washington. Then, to get a.
round the limitation, the Oregon
taxpayers have been voting bonds
right and left.
The consequence is Oregon is
burdened by bonds. The states
bond bill is $209, 600, 600, covering
bonds issued by the state, state
roads, counties, cities, towns, irri-
CATION, ETC., and outstanding war
rants, other than state. That makes
more than 5000 per person.
