Portland pave Vlckers an awful basting today, driving" him out of the box In the fifth Inning-, after making seven runs off him. This victory makes Portland and San Francisco tie for first place. Welch, the bush leaguer, who re placed Vlckers. pitched shut-out ball, the only run scored on him being the result of a bad throw by Blankenship. Seattle began the scoring in the third, when Kane stole second and raced all the way home on McLean's bad throw. The advantage was short lived, however, for Mitchell opened the fourth Inning with a home run smash, far over Van Buren's head. He made home by an eye lash, Blankenship making a dive to get him and missing him only by inches. That crack took all the starch out of Vlck ers, for the Portland men made six runs before the Inning closed. Kssick took things easy, and as he got small support, he was never in danger.

JULY 19, 1906. iff u II f YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD J C0MPLETEH0U5EFURni5HER5(: T- WASHINGTON SUPREME COURT RENDERS DIVIDED OPINION. Contract Law of 1899 Held Not to Be Inharmonious With That of 1903. OLYMPIA, Wash., July 18. (Special.) The Supreme Court In a dicided opinion today sustained the eight-hour public contract law of 1899, and held also that the law of 1903 on the same subject is not inharmonious with the former statute. Judges Rudkin and Fullerton dissented from the majority opinion. The case was that of the State of Washington, appellant, vs. W. H. Davis, respondent, from Thurston County. Davis had a contract from Thurston County for the construction of a bridge at Little Rock and was charged with working his men more than eight hours a day. The Justice of the Peace before whom he was taken found him guilty and Imposed a fine of J25. On appeal to the Superior Court a demurrer to the complaint was sustained and the action dismissed, on the ground that the law of 1899 had been repealed by the law of 1903. The Supreme Court says there was no repealing clause In the act of 1903 and that the courts hesitate to affirm repeal by implication. It finds moreover that the laws are not inconsistent, notwith standing the law of 1899 is a penal stat ute, while that of 1903 Is not, unless the forfeiture of a contract on conviction can be regarded as penal. The case is remanded with instructions to overrule the demurrer and proceed with the trial. LICENSE OF VANCOUVER FERRY Clark County Has Authority Under Its Police Powers. OLYMPIA. Wash., July 18. (Special.) In an opinion addressed to the Prose cuting Attorney of Clark County, Attorney-General J. D. Atkinson holds that the Commissioners of Clark County have authority to impose a license tax upon the business of the Portland Railway Company, for the operation by it of a ferry across the Columbia River at Van couver. The company has refused to conVply with the demand of the board of County Commissioners that it pay a li cense fee, the ground for Its refusal be ing that it was operating the ferry to connect the states of Oregon and Wash ington, and therefore was subject only to the Interstate commerce laws. The Attornney-General holds that as a general rule the state cannot tax agencies of interstate commerce, and ordinary tax ation cannot be levied against such agencies, but that this prohibition does not apply to license fees; such, It is held, are properly within the police powers of the County Commissioners.

SEATTLE, Wash., July 18. (Special.) A demand for recognition of their union, followed by a week's unsuccessful strike, broke the back of the street-car men's or ganization in Seattle in March, 1903. 81x months later, when the men threatened a strike on the wage scale, so few crews failed to report for duty that the strike was never effective. The street railroad company itself broke up the last threat ened carmen's strike by organizing a union within a union. The strike of March, 1903, tied up the entire system for several days. Then, as the company began to move cars, arbi tration was asked, and J. B. MacDougall, merchant; J. W. H. Moore, now Mayor, and J. B. Meikle, then secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, sat in judgment. The men wanted to go back, and the com pany wanted practically all of them. The arbiters diplomatically ignored everything else and restored jobs to the men, those on sick leave standing first on the new rolls, those who struck second, and new men third. In September of the same year a wage strike was threatened. The oldest men in the company organized a benefit asso ciation, under the advice of company offi cials, and forestalled a strike by pledging that the company would eventually in crease wages. A handful of men actually struck, but the effort failed. In January, 1904, the company put in effect this sched ule of wages, which still stands: First six months of service, 22 cents per hour; six months to one year, 23 cents; one to four years, 24 cents; five to six, 25 cents; six to ten, 28 cents; 10 to 12. 27 cents; 12 to 15, 28 cents; afterward, 29 or 30 cents per hour. WATER FAMINE AT SEATTLE Lawns Will Suffer In Next Warm Spell. SEATTLE, Wash., July 18.-(Special.)-With the first recurrence, for a few days, of hot weather such as prevailed last week, it will be necessary to shut off lawn sprinkling. This is rendered prac tically certain by the experience of the department during the past three days. The present sprinkling hours went into effect Monday of this week. Since that date, the weather has, until today, been much cooler than it was last week. This enabled the department to accumulate a little water over and above the supply on hand Monday morning. With an inflow of approximately 22,500,000 gallons a day there is during the present cooler spell a little surplus estimated at about 3,000,000 gallons a day. With cooler weather since Monday the department has accumulated in the reser voirs approximately 6,000,000 gallons. But with the return of hot weatner the con sumption would increase quickly under present regulations to such an extent that the inflow would not meet the demands. Germany May Not Interfere.
