Smaller Industrial concerns here employ ing 2000 men will be compelled to close in the next few days if the strike con tinues. The 34 striking switchmen at Missoula have established headquarters near the depot. Switchmen belonging to the Brotherhood of Trainmen, and Order of Conductors are striking all over this di vision of the Northern Pacific, as their working contract was made through the Switchmen's Union. President Hoffness, of the Missoula union, said today that not a man was working on the division, with the exception of a crew at Wallace, Idaho. In response to an order received at Billings this evening from the head of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, a few members of the order who left their work this morning in sympathy with the striking members of the switch men's union, reported for duty this even ing and the total number of striking switchmen Is decreased to six.

TACOMA. Wash.; Dec. 1. (Special.) Word has been received here that the T.'nlted States gunboat Princeton went aground last Monday in Willapa Harbor, being afterward towed oft and convoyed by a tug Into safe waters. It was de clared here today that she was untit for service and overloaded when she put to Fea. Captain J. . R. Tracy, of the Marine Corps, stationed at Bremerton, declared here that the Princeton had been out of commission three years and that, while she had been overhauled during that time, she had never had a tryout before being ordered to Corinto. follow ing the outbreak of the Nlcaraguan trouble. Captain Tracy also declared that she was sent out with a green crew, mustered together in a hurry, -and that the men were unfamiliar with the ship. Her engine bearings were new and her shaft had not even been "turned over" before she was sent hurrying to the south in the teeth of a raging gale. From a near relative of Captain C. H. Hayes, who commanded the Prince ton, It was learned that the vessel left Bremerton loaded two feet below her normal load waterline, the excess coal that she carried and her ammunition causing this covering of the Winter pllm soll mark. In the emergency, however, it was determined to take chances, though trouble was expected when she left Bremerton. LOST WAY, SAYS SOUTH BESD Gunboat, Sailing Wrong Course, Grounded on North Spit.

Private advices received tonight from South Bend tell that the United States ffunboat Princeton, bound from the Bremerton Navy-yard to Nicaragua to protect American Interests there, lost her bearings off the entrance to Willapa Harbor and came in over the north spit. After being fast on the spit, she sent -up signals of distress and the north cove life-saving crew went to her assistance and stayed by her all the night of Novem ber 29, and in the morning the tug, Daring, towed her off, piloted her from her position, and towed her Inside to E"afe anchorage. Aside from a few minor accidents, the vessel is in good shape and will be ready to go south in a few days. Princeton Due at Stare Island.

J New Ordinance Providing for Light Declared Faulty and Council Is in Quandary. FOREST GROVE, Or.. Dec. 1. (Spe cial.) Because of failure of the City Council and the people in reaching an agreement on the proposition of light ing the city. Forest Grove is In. dark ness tonight. The Haines Power Com pany, which has been furnishing : the city with light, has thrown up its con tract, and the Council has agreed it could do so if it so desired. ' An ordinance was being prepared to enter into a contract for 25 years with A. Welch, for furnishing power .'and lights. The provisions of the ordinance did not meet public approval, and the citizens held a mass meeting protest ing against its passage. Moreover, it is said that legal talent passed on the I proposed ordinance and declared it faulty. . The Councilmen are in a quandary. So far business and traffic have not been materially affected. Some .of the business Arms are lighting their places by means of small gas plants. The homes of the city are dark except for nickering lights coming from coal oil lamps and hinterns. Many, were taken unawares when the lights were shut off. A few people appear to favor the installation of a municipal plant. The Council is evenly divided on the propo sition, and the Mayor is opposed to mu nicipal ownership. It Is probable the question will be submitted to the voters at the coming election next January.

MAYOR SIMON HEADS LIST Petitioners Assert Legislature In tended State Coin to Be Mingled With General : Deposits. Document Is Filed. . SALEM, Or., Dec. (Special.) Twenty-two prominent members of the Mult nomah County bar, including Mayor Simon, of , Portland, today filed with Clerk Moreland, of the Supreme Court, a petition praying that the-RosB case be reopened and given furtKer consideration by the court. The petitioners intervening are moved, It is said, by a belief that the questions involved are important not only to .the appellant, but to the community and the bar. , The main text of the petition i as fol lows: Your petitioners believe it appears from the act of 1907 that It was the intention of the Legislature to authorize a general de posit by Ihe State Treasurer of the funds Involved in this prosecution and that such Intention.- is to be Inferred from the pro visions of the act which exacts compensa tion from the active depositary, to be paid to the state, and from the other -provisions of the act requiring the active depositary to perform its services without charge, to make collections without exchange and to furnish eecurities for the protection of the state funds. ' We believe that the Legis lature must have known that no bank would be willing to assume these burdens and pay this compensation for the privilege of being a mere custodian of state moneys. We believe that It was the intention of the legislature that the funds of the state shpuld be treated by the active depositary as other deposits are treated and that the mingling: of these funds with the other funds of the bapk was not unlawful,- but was pursuant to the legislative intent to be Irferred from the act In Question. Nor do ve find anything Jn the constitution of the state of Oregon and interpreted by the de cisions of this court, which precludes the above construction of the act of 1907.

SHIPPERS DEMAND GUT SPOKANE AND WALLA WALLA DEALERS BEHIND MOVE. Reduction of at Least 25 Per Cent in Carload Rates From East Sought of Commission. SPOKANE. Wash.. Dec. 1. (Special.) Spokane and Walla Walla shippers de mand a reduction of at least ,25 per cent In the carload rates from the East. This demand is made by the shippers through H. M. Stephens, In their" brief, to be submitted to the Interstate Com merce Commission. " Mr. Stephens makes a heated argument In his brief for incorporating the terminal rate clause in franchises issued by the city to railroads. He says in. part; "Now, Mr. Woodworth advanced the idea of loss of revenue, and among other things he said the Milwaukee Is building to Spokane. There is a proposition to tack on to the franchise the Milwaukee will ask for. that if they get into Spo kane that they give Spokane terminal rates. At' first, it seemed difficult to reach the conclusion that that would be a fair condition to put in a franchise, but Mr. Woodworth settled that. "If we have to go on paying these hun dreds of thousands of dollars' excessive freight charges every year, simply because another railroad bulld3 to Spokane, we are better, off, without them, and better off if they never build." Posting of 2 -Cent Advance Fails to Break Strikers' Ranks No Fear of Spread When New Men Are Put to Work. SEATTLE, Dec. 1. Although the move ment of freight on the Northern Pacific and Great Northern lines is suspended and passenger traffic delayed because of the switchmen's strike, there has been little commotion today In this section and railroad circles, for there is a gen eral feeling that the strike will not con tinue long. On all the bulletin boards of these rail roads notice of an increase of two cents an hour In switchmen's wages was posted today, but not one switchman re turned to work, so far as known. No freight trains are running. Perish able freight is refused, and other freight Is accepted subject to delay. Passenger Trains Late. Passenger trains are leaving their sta tions an hour or two late. Yardmen and station employes are making up the trains. Good order has been maintained by the Btrikers at all points. Railroad officials say they have re ceived assurances from members of the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers and the Orders of Con ductors and Trainmen that there is no possibility of a sympathetic strike. None of the railroad employes not on strike has shown the least wish to delay traffic. Orders From St. Paul Awaited. Operating officials in -the Northwest have made no attempt to hire new men, and' are awaiting instructions from St. Paul. It was said at the Northern Pa cific offices here tonight that new men would be employed as soon as it was decided to begin the movement of freight and that it was not feared that the strike would spread when the new men went to work. The Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railroad has not been affected by the strike, and is handling all kinds of freight. Most of the cities in the Pacific Northwest are reached by other rail roads beside the two whose switchmen are out. and consequently a shortage of coal and supplies would not result, even if the strike were long continued. Strikers Control Terminals. Trains are stopped, as the switchmen are in control of all terminal points. This territory is taken care of by the Great Northern, . Northern Pacific and Chicago. Milwaukee & Puget Sound rail roads. Unless the roads can carry coal and ore to smelters, operations must cease.- The smelters will be hit first, as their coke supply ismited. Mines may be able to continue operations for a while and store the ore in Dins and on the dumps, but not for long. Butte is absolutely dependent upon the operation -of the mines and smelters. When they stop, everything stops. All foodstuffs are imported. Many big min ing companies run cojnpany stores. A miner's credit is good there as long as he works. When he is out of work his credit stops. Smelters in Anaconda employ 2500 men. There also are large smelters at Great Falls employing 5000 men. who are idle. That all hopes for a speedy settlement of the strike, are gone is Indicated by the departure for Washington tonight of Martin A. Knapp. of the Interstate Com merce Commission, and United States Labor Commissioner Neil!. Mr. Knapp said he could do nothing but offer his services and that at this time they were not wanted. At offices of both the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railways it was stated tonight that the strike has had no effect upon the operation of fast mall trains to and from the Coast. OFFICIALS MAKE CP TRAINS ' Great Northern Gets Out Three, X. P. None, From Spokane. SPOKANE, Dec. 1. All shipments were refused by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railroads today and merchants having goods In the yards were notified that their cars could not be "spotted," but that anyone wanting bis goods would have to find his own car and unload from it, wherever it might be. Trainmen coming in with freight trains will run their cars on sidings and leave them there, but will not distribute them to warehouses or to unloading tracks. The Great Northern managed to get out three freight trains eastbound. The trainmaster and the assistant superin tendent worked the entire day shift, the night yardmaster being the only worker at night. . Not a freight train moved out of the city over the Northern Pacific, although traffic was kept up on the branch lines. VANCOUVER IS NOT AFFECTED Only Two Union Men Have Received No Strike Orders. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Dee. 1. (Spe cial.) As the 12 switchmen in the local railway yards are employes of the Spo kane. Portland & Seattle Railway, and only two of these belong to the Switch menjs Union of North America, and they have no schedule with the North Band road. It being a new line, the strike will not likely extend to Vancouver. The two have received no order to strike. No . through freight trains are coming or going over either S. P. & S. or the Northern Pacific. One local freight train went east on the North Bank road and one to Kalama on the Northern Pacific today. Perishable freight is not being accepted for shipment and other freight is accepted subject to delay, some for local points aong the North Bank Railway. TRAINMEN JOINING IN MONTANA ' I . Strikers Have Some Accessions, but Are Likely to Lose Them. GREAT FALLS. Mont., Dec. 1. As a result of the switchmen's strike, the Boston & Montana Smelter, employing about 1200 men. has partially closed down and will be closed completely within 24 hours. The manager of the American Smelting & Refining Company at Helena tonight said that his plant could run a month on the ore supply now on hand. The smelter maintains its own switching crew. Forty-five switchmen are out here. Only passenger trains and one or two freights LOCAL FREIGHT TO BE STARTED Officials at Seattle Say New Men Will Be Put to Work. SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 1. (Special.) Local officers of the Northern Pacific ex pect to put on three switching crews to morrow. It was announced at the North ern Pacific offices tonight that the local Seattle-Tacoma freight train will be started out tomorrow morning at 8:45 o'clock. Otherwise no attempt will be made to operate freight trains. T. B. Degnan, local agent for the Great Northern, and C. E. McMullen. super intendent of terminals for the Northern Pacific Railway, tonight issued the fol lowing statement: "We will .employ switchmen, trainmen or other men who are competent to do switching and will pay them at the new rate of wages offered former switchmen at the recent conference in St. Paul. The former employes who failed to report for duty November 30 and December 1. will be given time checks and will not be asked to return. New men will not be displaced by reinstatement of former em ployes. A number of experienced rail road men have already made application for positions and regular switching crews will be put on at once." MEAT FOR WADED BY EXPRESS Portland Helps Seattle to Avert Famine Men Here at Work. While the switchmen's strike will not be taken up by switchmen in Portland, the movement of cars out of this city to places not reached by other lines will be hindered, as the strikers in other places refuse to handle the cars there. Meat is being sent from Portland to Seattle by express only. F. H. Fogarty, head of the local freight department of the Northern Pacific Rail road, said last night that freight en route over the Hill lines will be tied up at way stations where it happens to be at the time of the strike. "But there will be no accumulation of freight at Northern Pacific terminals." said Mr. Fogarty last night, "as we have made arrangements with other roads to carry our freight to such places as their lines reach while the strike is on. "We are looking forward to an early settlement, and I don't think that our freight trains will be tied up more than a few days. "We shall ship out of Portland today a small amount of perishable freight, and we expect to keep up a little movement of freight over the lines right along." Seattle Is threatened with a meat fam ine, although as much as can be spared from Portland will be forwarded there while the strike is on. There is no move ment of livestock cars over the Northern Pacific road, and Seattle would get no meat supply were it not for the aid of the Northern Express Company, by which two cars loaded with meat were shipped to Seattle last night. There were 50,000 pounds In the ship ment, and the express charge was 75 cents per 100 pounds. Twice as much will be shipped today. In addition to a car load to be shipped by express to South Bend, by way of Centralia. Frank Miebus, treasurer of the local Switchmen's Union, stated last night that there will be no walkout here. More Men to Be Laid Off. DULUTH, Minn.. Dec. 1. It is said that the Great Northern by Saturday night will have laid off fully 1000 men, in 'addition to the strikers. It is estimated that in Superior, Wis., 6000 men will be thrown out of work. FREIGHT IS ALL TIED UP (Continued From First Page.) to feel the result of the strike. The first to be affected were the wholesale and commission houses. Wholesale grocers report that nothing is moving. The commission houses are doing nothing and -their customers in the small towns who get their supplies from day to day will soon be unable to serve fresh vege tables and fruit. Flour Mills Close. Some of the larger commission houses today reduced their working forces and will make further reductions if the strike continues long. In Minneapolis the flour mills closed tonight, and it is estimated that 3500 men employed in them are idle. A continuation of the strike will throw out 1500 more employed . in the cooperage and allied trades. In South St. Paul, where the stock yards are situated, only 3O0 head of cat tle were received today. The daily average is 1S00. Manager Bangs, of a large packing house, lo cated here,, said the question of reduc tion in the packing house force depended entirely upon the duration of the strike. "If we cannot get stock, we will have to close," he said: He would not say how long the plant could run on the present supply of stock. In the iron range in the northern part of Minnesota small towns will soon be facing a famine unless foodstuffs can be sent in. In Superior 300 men were laid off In the Great Northern machine shops. Mines will be affected by stopping freight traffic. On the ore docks at Duluth and Superior within 48 hours 10,000 men will be out of work and the general business loss - will run Into thousands of dollars. St. Paul and Minneapolis are the dis tributing points for the entire Northwest, covering Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, Northern Iowa, North and South Da kota. Montana, Idaho and a large part of Washington and Oregon. In all cit ies in these states the strike will be felt. The most serious effect will be in Mon tana, particularly in Butte, Anaconda and Great Falls, where copper mines and smelters are situated. In Montana and Eastern Idaho, freight traffic is tied up. About 60 freight trains are stopped, as the switchmen are In control of all terminal points. Santiam Bridge to Be of Steel. ALBANY, Or.. Dec. 1. (Special.) At a joint session of the County Courts of Linn and Marion Counties at Jefferson yesterday It was determined to build a steel bridge across the Santiam River at that place next Summer to replace the old wooden bridge, which was dam aged In the recent flood.
