Without any parley Hherlff Maaa drew ill revolver and ordered everyone to put banda up, and hla deputlea cov ered the crowd Completely taken by aurprlae, and lacking a leader, the men reached toward the aky, each driving to pick out at leaat one of lha atara that were abiding dowu through the breaking dawn. The men were all promptly lined up agalnat lha bridge rail and ea re ti ed. The only weapon found waa a long knife carried Itv one of the out alderl. The whole party waa then marched lo the county Jail, where a few "non-combaanta" were weeded out, and the balance held until fore men from the mllla came and Identi fied thoae who bad done the damaie. fifteen of them were later locked up to await the action of the grand Jury. Six Arraata Mado In anticipation of trouble Wednea day evening both Sheriff Maaa and Chief of I'ollce Hhaw a wore In a large number of deputlea and apeclnl po licemen. Humor were afloat early in tba night that over hutitlmd agita tor would arrive from I'ortland on a late car, and preparation were made to meet them. Ijile In the afternoon wo men who were talking loudly of "wnot we will do tonight" were arreated by Chief 8haw, but were later releaaed becaune there were no ground upon whlcn Ihey could be legally held. Huh were atrangera In tbe city and were warned lo leave town. At half naat eight four men appear ed at tha corner or Hnveiuji ana Main at reel a with aoap hoi and prepare! lo hold an out-door meeting. Chlof Hhaw and Deputy Sheriff Mllea warn ed them to denial. The four did not do thla quickly enough to ault the cf flcwra and were placed under arreat. At the iKilice atatlon they gave tnetr namea aa Jbon Culver. Alliert JuKa, J. 1).

There la no ordinance In the city agalnat atrect apealilng. Strict Patrol Kpt Throughout the evening deputies Went potrollng tbe atreeta, and wher ever men congregated, the group were at once broken up. All men who voiced threatening eentlmenta were promptly placed under arreat. and were thrown In Jail. Hy half pant ten four anch had been picked up hy the officer. Shortlv before eleven George Gar diner, who waa paid off at one of the mllla thla afternoon, threatened ro blow up the mllla" aomotime later in iha ntcht. Peonle who heard htm make thla atatement notified Chief Hhaw, and Gardiner wa put away for aafe-keeplng. The arrival of Governor weal, wio allpped quietly Into the city In the neighborhood of ten ociock, waa a aurprlae to all partle. Soon after reaching tha city the governor huntd tip Sheriff Maa, and with blm vlalted the cnuntv tall, and bad a talk with tha IS prlaoner held there undor In dictment for rioting. Governor Wat Ineptcta City Following thla the governor met representative of the loral mllla, and talked tbe altuatlon over with them. Then alone and unattended he took a walk about the city, talking with people that be met about the altuatlon. After having reviewed matter, the governor eipreed the opinion that condition could be aatlafactorlly bandied by local people. I mim down from Salem to aee how thlnga were for myaelf," ald the governor. "I think that while the alt uatlon may be delicate that It will be atralghtenrd out aatlafactorlly here. I do not believe It will be neceaaary to call out the mllltla. In fact I have hardly conaldered that Of courae there muat be no rioting, but I think the trouble, which eeema to be rather peculiar, will be aettled. I ihall wait hera until the early morning tram, and note developmenta. I expect to return to Salem then, but I wantad to know for myself what eort of ahape thlna were In." Late In the evening It waa detor mlnel to keep a detachment of JS member of the local mllltla company under arma all night, and at the call of Captain Glanchard volunteers for thla eervlce went to the armory and camped out Many other membr of the company were on patrol duty aa apeclal deputlea earlier In the evening. m mm NEEDED FOR 1914 INSPICTOR HERE IN REGARD TO RENEWAL OF LEASE, 8U0 CESTS BUILDINQ GREATER FACILITIES ARE DESIRED Growth of Poatal Builnta for Laat Tn Yar Show Prn! Quar ter to b Inadequate for Further Ua Oregon City nuiy have a new and modern poat office building next year, If plana aiigKeatcd Monday by I'obIhI liiHM'lor Clement are carried out.

The preaent poat offlco, In tbe I. O. 0. V. building wa k-aed ten yoari ago, and the right of the government to occupy It will expire December I. tirowth of the poatal builnea here tin Ix-en tremendou during that tlmo and the old quarter re now utterly Inadequate, and are also dark and poorly ventlllated. Owing to the nl gardly policy of tha government In former year tha entire ground floor apace wa not taken up, and tbe beat location In the building are occu pled by a real ratntB office and an exprea office. Thla haa forced the. poat office to the rear, and stranger In the city have often had difficulty In locating I'ncle 8am place of bunl- nea. Krection of a new and modern building would, remedy thla. and would alao prove a paying Inveatment. It la auggeatrd that a one-itory at rue. Hire with about 2.2U0 aquare feet of floor pace would be adequate for the demand of tome year to come. Sky light could be placed In the roof tc give plenty of light, and the building made a dealrable aaeet to the bualnesa section of tbe town. If adequate quarter are not made available down town for the accomodation of Uncle Sam, It may be neceaaary to mave the pot office up on the Mil, and this would be a matter of very general In convenience. Need of new quarter la ahown plainly by atatlatlca of the local offlco. There are but l.'OO aquare feet of apace at band, and a third a much gain la needed. Tbe office, when It first occupied the preaent building wa doing only but about I7.0O0 worth of builnei a year. laat year the poatal recelpla ueie were ovr $19,000. Ten year ago there ware no rural carriers operating out of the local office, now aeven free delivery route Into the lurroundlng country are cared for. Formerly, alio there were no city carrier now there are four, and need for more ha already developed. Two clerka were former ly able to handle all the bualneaa of the office, now five find that tbelr handa are full all t'ae time. Tbe pressing need of new and ad.v quate quarter will be brought hero tbe buslncK men of the city, and It I believed that rather than aee tne office taken up the hill a aultable building will be erected, or at least that available and proper apace for quarters will be provided In the busi ness district.

An enormous crowd congregated at the dock anl along tho water front and with lotid cheers gave an enthusiastic "hon voyage'' to the new "Goliath of the Ocean". The big vsasel, which Is a triumph of marine architecture, teamed gracefully out of the harbor, carrying a complement of more than 4,000 paasengera, among whom were many well-known American. It Is expected that under ordinary circum stance New York will be reached next Tuesday evening or early Wed nesday morning. When tbe Imperator ttea up athor dock In the North River next week New Yorkers will have an opportun ity to inspect the largest vessel H the world. She haa a gross tonnaxo of 60.000 (or nearly 5,000 tons great er than tbe Olympic) and ia of the aame general dimensions as the great Acquitania now nearlng completion for the Cunard line. There are elev en decka on the liner. The prome nade deck la a quarter of a mile long, ao long in fact that a person standing at one end could not rec ognize person at the other en1. Rover steamboats of average site could aald lengthwise through one of the giant funnels of tbe Imperator. One of the novel feature of Cie big vessel Is a roomy swimming pool In a beautiful rompoinn hall. Among other luxuries with which tbe vesael has been fitted are a great entertain ment ball two stories high, three electric elevators, a completely equip ped gymnasium, a "cottaite care, a winter garden and a The first city In Oregon to Incor porute under the new law Is Molalla, one of the most enterprising and rap idly developing towns of Clnckamas county. The law, passed by the lust legislature, went Into effuct June &. and today Cross A Hammond, attor ney of the city, are busy drawing up a petition, which will be presented to the county court at July term, pray ing the county commissioners to call an eloctlon In which the citizens of Molulla may vote upon Incorporation, lit all probability this election will b? held In August. Following that, according to tha provisions of the new law, a aecond election will be called to choos of ficer of the new city. Molalla will probably adopt the regular legislative charter, though later on it may draw and adopt one of lta own.

MILVAUKIE IIS FIVE CENT FARE UNITED STATES 8UPREME TRI BUNAL CONCURS IN RULING OF OREGON COMMISSION OAK GROVE STATIONS ALSO AIDED Ovr $15,000 In Rebate Chacka to Bo Redeemed as Result of Pro test Long Contested By Interburban Lin That noise Tuesday night had noth lng to do with tbe Portland Roe FeatlvaL Far be It from such. It wa juat tbe people, at Milwaukle and other points In tbe Oak Grove group telling each other bow happy tbey were over the decision of tbe United Statea supreme court, upholding the order of the Oregon Railroad Com mission that a five-cent fare to Mil waukle was "reasonable;'' and that a ten-cent fare to Oak Grove was ditto. Transfer ' privileges will also be tacked on to the reduced fares, and some $15,000 worth .of rebate checks that have been guarded faithfully by commuter In the two towns will now be cashed In. Following the cashing In people in the districts effected will probably buy automobllea and quit riding on the cars altogether. A soon as telegraphic advice of tbe supremo court's decision had been re ceived, officials of tbe Portland Rail way, Light A Power company stated that they would put the new rate In to effect at once, and would not wait the CO days allowed them by law. 'The ordor for reducing tbe fare from Portland to Milwaukle and Oak Grove, la based upon the allege dis crimination arising from the charge of 5 centa to Lents," said B. S. Joase lyn, president of the Portland Rail way, Light & Power company. "Un der tbe law of the state, we are com pelled to charge not more than S cents for the transportation of a pass enger, for a trip in one continuous di rection within the city limits. Mil waukle la outside of the city limits and Lents s also. Under the decis ion we receive no compensation for carrying passengers beyond the city limits. The character of the service to theae two points, Lenta and Mil waukle, ia vastly different. From Milwaukle, we run high-speed interur- ban trains, which are more costly to operate than the streetcar aervlce from Lenta. We did not think that proper considerations was given by the authorities to the different char acter of service rendered, and we still think so. but we are law-abiding cit izens and we shall proceed at once to publish a tariff, effective June 11, which will comply with the orders of the commission, without awaiting the arrival of a mandate from the court, which would probably delay the tak ing effect of a new tariff 60 days."

Before leaving for Portland, en route to Puget Sound, Mr. Cahart ad mitted that he wa sent Into Oregon by a number of Washington lumber mill men, who were planning branch Industrie In tbe Willamette valley and along the extenslona of the Hill Line In Oregon. These tnlllmen be lieve that there will be a considerable amount of development follow tb4 building of new Interurban and elec tric linea by the Hill people, and de sire to gain the trade of these sec tions, and to furnish them with bully ing material and Interior lumber. While he would not make any defin ite statements as to tbe sites of these proposed branch mllla and supply de pots, Mr. Cahart did say that he be lieved the high bluff of the river nortj of Oregon City would make an ad mirable aite for one of them. "1 find that you have a number of things there that would prove ex tremely valuable to us,T he said. "In the ftrat place there la a large tract of' practically level land, bordered on one side by tbe river, and on the oth er by transportation lines. This lanl lies hUh above tbe river, so that it probably never will be flooded, and because of tbat any plant constructed there would be able to keep In con tinuoua operation. You also have near at band, I find, considerable territory tbat ia being reached by the Clackamaa Southern railroad, and be yond that there is, I believe, a great deal of timber. It seems to me that this land north of tbe city would therefore be doubly valuable to us, for we might be able to get consider able timber for our work bauled down by tbe local road. Tbls, when cut in to lumber and inside wood, If it Is suitable for auch, could then be haul ed back to distributive yarda along the line. "In Waahlngton we believe that an era of great development la fast ap proaching in all parts 'of Oregon, par ticularly on either side of the Willam ette valley, and between the river and the coast For business reasons we are anxious to get into this field, and to help In its up-building, for tbe more communities tbat spring up, tbe great er will be our business. Even should we be unable to get timber down here, we could ahlp our finished products down over tbe Hill lines without change, and in thla way could prob ably get favorable rates and quick service to our distributive points." The milling Interests which Mr. Ca hart represents are believed to be In alliance with tbe Hill roads to a cer tain extent, and to be planning to share in the general development work that the northern lines are planning at ft part of their Invasion of Oregon territory. In tbe course of his present trip. Mr. Cahart also visited Central Oregon, entering through the Deschutes valley lines. entlwamaao Is: CRACK S. P. TRAIN MEETS ACCIDENT The Willamette Llmltd, north bound over the Southern Pacific, struck a loose rail just outside of Sa lem Saturday morning, and only the quick action of the engineer in "dyna miting" his train prevented what would In all probability otherwise have been a serious wreck. As It waa the engine left the track, and passengers in the forward cars were severely jolted. The accident hap pened about half a mile from the state borne for febble minded, and doctors and nurses from thia instltu tion were the first on the scene to give aid to the injured. A special train with doctors was rushed out from Portland, followed by the wrecking erew, and after sev eral hours delay traffic was resumed. As all trains were running extra sec tions to accomodate the crowds head ed for Portland for the Rose Festival, considerable confusion waa caused to traffic. Mrs. Isabelle Woods of Sweet Horns and Joe Langlord, news agent sus tained the most serious Injuries. Mrs. Woods received a severe bruise on the back of her head at the baa of tbe brain. She ia over 70 years old, but waa able to walk after the acci dent Langlord. whose home is In Portland, waa bruised on tbe bead. Conductor George Peebler waa In jured In the shoulder. Mrs. O.

Passengers on the Oregon City line of the Port land Railway, Light Power Com pany between Portland and Oregon City will In 20 days be entitled to check "'0 pounds of baggage free of charge on a full ticket or 75 pounds on a half-fare ticket, a privilege they nave not heretofore enjoyed.

It will bold up tha appointment of Gilbert Hedges for practically another year, instead of permitting the matter to be settled this fall Mr. Hedges waa appoined as county attorney under the new law, and would have taken office before this had it not been for the referen dum enactment which delayed his stepping into the newly created place until November.
