CHIEFS CONSIDER PLEAS IhMdn LILrljr to Act Separately In Dtpoeloc of Payment of $35 Extra Wanted by Employes. Xo Trouble Expected. Satisfactory ttlsmcnt of the rail way dispatchers war seal Is expected to (row oat of ths request mad upon the general managers yesterday of a flat Increase la pay of 3S for all train dispatchers employed on roads In the Northwest. The request although announced nearly a weelc ago. was formally pre seated yesterday morning and was at once taken under consideration by the railway officials. No Intimation has been given as to the disposition of the cases, but It ! conceded on all sides that little or no trouble will result. It Is likely that Instead of acting In a body the several affected roads will arrange payment of their men sepa rately. M. J. Buckley, assistant general man ager of the Southern Pacific lines In Oregon and of the Oregon-Washington Railroad e Navigation Company, said yesterday that those roads will act In dependently of the others concerned .'n the question. Peace Is Predicted. - "I am sure that everything- will sd satisfactorily, Mr. Buckley declared. "I don't know yet what will be dope with the request of the men. but It will receive' our earnest consideration as soon as we can take It up properly. In the meantime there will be no trouble. The men continue at work at the pres ent scale until we can reach an agree ment." If a "satisfactory end." as suggested by Mr. Buckley, means a whole or par tial concession to the men It Is llkel that the case will pass from the in dustrial staire without much further dlscusslo.1. The men say that nothing short of tii a month In addition to their present wage schedule will be "satisfactory." They now receive $M0 to $175. and work eight hours a. lay. Settlement Time Not llxed. The request for an Increase on the part of the trainmasters does not af fect the local roads, as all trains on the Harrlraan system are handled through the assistant general superin tendents. They are asking an advance In pay of tii a month, also. U tile the dispatchers say they want their differences adjusted at once, they hare not set a definite time when they will expect an answer. A similar request for advaicel pay was received by the general managers about a year ago, but no action was taken at the time. The present action Is a continuation of the former request. The roads affected are the Northern Pacirlc, the Oreat Northern. Snutnem Pacific. Oregon-Washington Railroad Navigation Company, the North Bank, the Astoria At Columbia River, the Oregon Klectrlc, the Spokane Interna tional and the Spoksne A Inland Em pire. Nearly 100 men are affected. SKIP!

CAR COULDN'T BE BOARDED MIm Mildred Powers In Suit by Tailor for Price of Garment Dons It to Show Judge Olson How It Misfit Case Settled. "I had to walk home because I couldn't get aboard a streetcar," ssld Miss Mildred Powers, court stenogra pher, telling In Judge Olsen'a court yes terday of the horrors of a hobble skirt "palmed off on her, she said, by Joseph Harris, a tailor. "I couldn't breathe, I almost fell down three times and I was 111 that night on account of It." Miss Powers was answering the suit of Harris for $31. alleged to be due for the skirt. She presented a counter claim of IIS for material said to have been ruined. Technically, It was not a hobble skirt, nor a tube skirt, but. said the expert, "a six-gored panelled skirt." But Miss Powers was positive In her testimony that It hobbled her effectually. Woman Dons Garment. That Judge Olsen might seen the of fending garment Miss Powers, accom panied br a woman friend, retired to the chambers and donned Harris era- atlon. She returned to the courtroom with the dress unhooked that the mag istrate might see that one alone could not fasten It. The friends pulled and tugged, perspired and groaned, and Miss Powers grew red In the face, as the hooks were drawn Into place. After viewing the garment upon the figure of the defendant. Judge Olsen was still pussled. and sent for an expert to pass judgment. . Quiet Settlement Made. Miss Powers told the court that she had not had a new dress for several years. She wanted one that she could get Into and out of quickly, and so told the tailor, adding- that she considered a tight skirt "simply ridiculous." She accepted the skimpy garment because she had torn her other dress and had nothing to wear. "Some women wear them that way," commented Olson, with an air of wis dom, "but I suppose it is because they want to." While the court was waiting for the expert, whose pronouncement upon the sartorial merit of the garment was to decide the case, the litigants came to a private agreement, and Judge Olsen heaved a sigh of relief. Facts brought out at the trial were that a six-gored skirt should be from 76 to 81 Inches around the bottom, while the hobble skirt measures but B inches. "A woman knows how wide her dress ought to be," said Miss Powers. a reliable: cough medicixb Ie a- valuable family friend. Foley's Honey and Tar fulfills this condition exactly. Mrs. Charles Kline.

Work on the Mount Hood Railroad has been rushed under full pressure despite the Inclement weather of the past few days. Double crews are worked, operations never ceasing night or day, in an effort to get the road build to the Sandy River before Spring. The track Is laid from camp No. 4, at the intersection of the Troutdale branch, to a point about two miles east of Gresham, with several other sections of a mile or more completed where grading crews have ben en gaged for the last month. The method of building as adopted by the Mount Hood lines Is unique, work having been started at different places and construction progressing utnil the sections meet. By hauling In a few miles of track on wagons and beginning operations at points where steam shovels are necessary, several camps are kept going- all the time and work progresses rapidly. All the low places along1 the line are being filled permanently and there will be no trestles, although many of the fills are extensive. The grades are all to be easy, experts saying that none of the grades will be more than 1 per oent to the end of the part of the line now building. It is thought that the road will be finished to the powerhouse on the Bull Run River within two months. The company has established a warehouse at Pleasant Home, where all material for the power plant Utat can be hauled on auto-trucks. Is being delivered and stored, awaiting the completion of the road for shipment. The heavier parts of the plant will await rail transportation from Port land until the road Is finished. STREET WILLJE WIDENED Improvement on Sandy Boulevard Seems to Be Assured. The widening of Sandy boulevard from BO to 80 feet between East Twenty-eighth street and the city limits Is now considered assured. There were some legal obstacles in the way, which have been removed through the efforts of the Rose City Improvement League. Buildings which stand on the present street line near East Twenty-eighth street will be moved back in compli ance with the new street lines. A ma. Jority of the property-owners along Sandy boulevard between East Twenty eighth and East Seventy-second streets have signed a petition for bltullthlc pavement, and It is expected that the Improvement will be made during the early part of the present year. The widening of the street means that 10 feet will be taken from both sides of the street and also the laying' of "double tracks to East Seventy-second street, which will bring the double tracks to the Country Club. Double tracks' have been laid to the railroad crossing. The league hopes also to have the construction of the viaduct Included in the improvement of Sandy boulevard this year over the track of the O.-W. R. & N. Company.
