Watson and others desire to secure this land at the rate of fi an acre, but appar ently the board Is desirous of securing a higher price. Watson contended that It haa bern tbe custom to charge ti an acre and that It now has no right to Increase the prce of the Warner Valley lands. The subject has been taken under ad Tisment. The Board authorised a deed of cor rection 1'T B. B. Bekman, the deed cov ering land sold to C C. Reekman In Langella Valley, Klamath County. - . STRIKE IS NEAR ITS END (Conttnod yrTn First Page. standing that the former hours and rates of wages shall continue In effect until December 1 next, and that any changes mutually agreed upon shall then become effective." To this offer the representatives of the strikers assented as follows: Knd fctrtae Is Advised. The undersigned hereby receive ths terms of the said letter In settlement of the strike and advUe tkesald employes to resume work thereon at once and end the strike. We proposed these same laxma Hixuuai lb AUipr last ilidax AVI AT H ATM at his report and adhere to them now at his request," Before the agreement was signed ths day had been turbulent, confused and full ot statements and counter-statements. There was mors rioting than at any other time during the strike. John Williams, ths State Commissioner of Labor, threatened an official Investi gation If matters did not end. to which IL S. Juller. general manager of the American Express Company, replied that his company would welcome all the publicity possible. City Must bhomr Cause. Counsel for Adams, ths United States and the Wella-Fargo Companies obtained an order from Judge Cox in the United States Circuit Court; direct ing the city to show cause tomorrow why it should not be restrained from enforcing the ordinance which requires carriers of Interstate express matter to take out city licenses. . Two hundred applications for li censes were filed this afternoon. It was directly due to Mayor Gay nor's attitude that ths agreement was drawn up and signed. The worst of the trouble today came not from the express employes, but from ahe striking taxicab chauffeurs who went out with them in sympathy. They mobbed taxlcabs driven by non union men and squabbled with the po lice until It was necessary to threaten them with drawn revoivera and with swinging night-sticks. Bottles, stones, bricks and looae ends of Iron flew thick. There were many broken heads, but only five arrests. The hundred chauffeurs who struck In sympathy with the expressmen and went back to work a week ago when their demands were granted were directed to strike again because the company would not permit them to wear the union button. It was ordered that all garages still hostile to the union bo picketed to morrow. The tone of the meeting was quietly belligerent. A committee representing the employ ers not the union, which has organ ised and conducted the striks and the executive officers of the companies met the agreement for presentation at the mass meeting.

Because of the deluge of rain In Portland and vicinity during; the past few days, the committee In charge of the baaeball benefit fund being sub scribed by the Portland fans in token of their appreciation of the champion ship won by ths Beavers, yesterday de cided to postpone the benefit game, scheduled for Sunday, November IS. to a date to be named later. Rain has so flooded the bail park at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets, that It would be absolutely Impossible to play there Sunday, and the players themselves, unanimously announced that they wanted to give the fans a run for their money and suggested the postponement and expressed a willing ness to remain in Portland for a week or ten days longer In order to accom modate the patrons of the game who have so nobly demonstrated their ap proval of the champions. The action yesterday means that the benefit game will be played as soon as the weather settles, and will prob ably be one week from Sunday, or November 20. The enthusiasm In the giving of the Beavers a big sendoff Is unabated, though the wet weather has dampened the enthusiasm of the committee selling tickets, and no sales have been reported since Monday. How ever, telephone notices from the com mittee to Treasurer Bortxmeyer Indi cate that the fund is growing rapidly but ths solicitors have been too busy to report at the Merchant's.

Is presumably TWO, showing that he was voted for by moat of the Insurgents of the district, although he was formerly a close friend of Speaker Cannon. The Democrats gained a few seats In the Legislature, but otherwise made a poor showing. Washington appears as the most steadfast Republican state In the Union, but this is accounted for by the upheaval in the September primaries, which put the "progressive" Republicans in control of the party. The Socialist vote in the Mate Is esti mated at 4300. BOURBONS ARE OVERWHELMED MndVSllaging Campaign at Olympia Did Not Hurt Republicans. OLYMPIA. Wash., Nov. 10. (Special.)

The campaign waged by the women who want to vote showed Its effects dur ing the day and the returns indicate that woman's suffrage has carried In Thurs ton County by almost two to one, al though some of tbe precincts failed to make any return on this question. Thurston County has witnessed some bitter campaigns in tbe past, but tbe one just brought to a close was marked by mud-sllnglng of the worst nature. The factions in the Republican party split wide apart, but the efforts to knife the ticket in places failed, as every man on It went Into office and the Democrats have little solace. P. M. Troy, the Dem-ocratlc-nonpartisaa candidate for the Su preme Court, ran more than 600 behind the loweat Republican judge and this, is Troy's home county.
