"INTRIGUE," SAY OFFICIALS Two Separate Battalions Will Be Formed After field and Staff I Vshered Ont of Service on January I. Orders for the disbandment of ths Third Oregon Infantry are to be Is sued at an early date, following the recommendation of the general staff of the Oregon National Guard as pre sented Tuesday. This fact developed yesterday and tha action of Governor West will not be awaited, as under ths Jaw It Is not necessary to seek, his personal approval. Inasmuch as Adjutant-General Flnier, as military chief of staff, can act In his stead. Tha necessary disbandment order will proceed from General Klnxer's of fice, for while ths Adjutant-General re sisted ths scheme for disbanding; the regiment, the general staff carried the luua over his head. Hence It Is said he has no alternative. Governor Went mar be called upon to act and at this time? bis Interference Is the only thing that can prevent the dissolution of the old Third In Its present form. Scheme Is Scented. "Intrigue" was the word heard on very band yesterday among National Guard officers. The hands of officers who seek promotion was clearly shown In the drasllo action taken by the gen eral staff. It was asserted. IHsband rnent of the regiment Is desired only by a small percentage of the regimental officers. It Is averred, and these few are ones who will likely be advanced under a new commanding officer. Two separata bsttallons are to be formed after the field and staff Is trSh rred out of the service January 1. Then the battalions will elect majors. Major John L. May. of Portland". Is seemingly elated to take the post of senior Major, as ha Is a veteran In the service and Is generally looked upon as efficient. Contest la Slsht. For the other majority the liveliest sort of a scramble Is promised. Those mentioned thus far are Captains I A. Bowman and K. O. Scott, who are said to have been leaders la the movement for disbandment of the regiment. Many raptalna will be behind Captain Charles Fralth. senior Captain, who Is said to b best equipped by experience and service for the post. Still another Major will be named with' the reorganisation of ths regi ment, for It Is understood that Major John L May will be selected as Lleu-tenant-ColoneL It was In order that they might get In 11ns for these ma jorities. It Is asserted, that several raptalna banded together In the plan that brought about the present condi tion. Three new companies must be or ganized before the regiment can be re . organized. It Is Intended to rerruX one of these at Corvallls. one at Klamath Falls and to take over the Pallas com pany from the disbanded Fourth In fantry. When this Is done, the call for reorganization as a regiment will be Issued and the election of a Colonel -will follow. Many officers say the post will be again tendered to Colonel Iunbar. while others are doubtful. Colonel Fam White, of the Governor's staff. Is aid to have ambitions to head the regiment.

PROTEST IS BELITTLED Klamath Fall City Council Violated Law, Says President of Body. KLAMATH FAXJ-S. Or.. Dec. 1 J. (Special) Over the protest of Its president, the City Council of Klamath Falls has gone on record, according to bis uaa of terms, of having violated the law. Owing to the mlxup which has resulted over non-enforcement of the building ordinances and ths erec tion of new structures and commence ment of repairs In anticipation of securing the necessary city permits for the work afterward. Councilman Charles McGowan offered a resolution notifying all property owners that hereafter they would be expected to comply with the building ordinance and that no permit would bo given ex cept wtthln Its provisions. I'resldent Hanks asked If he wanted the council -to go on record as having violated the law.

The resolution was adopted by the Council with only the president's vote dis senting. KLAMATH FALLS ANXIOUS Will It Remain "Premium Station" Is Question Now Uppermost. KLAMATH FALLS. Or, Dec 11. 6peclal.) This city boasts of ens of IMMINENT the few stations on the Southern Fa- r- rt . v a t m I a a a . I a a rterfect bv the great corporation which holds It. For tnls reason mere is a sign or front of the structure which reads -Premium Station." Tho local structure has held this distinction for two suc cessive years, the silver medal having been awardeH In 10 to F. M. Thomp son and last year to Clarence B. Mills. The present agent. 8. J. Bailey, would like to take the medal this year, and Is awaiting with Interest the verdict of the 111 annual Inspection, which Is now under way and -which will be completed within a couple of weeks. Once every year the general super intendent of the Southern Pacific, with the assistant chief engineer and all the division superintendents, go over the entire railroad eystemand determine upon the nearness to perfection of the different classes of work, each superin tendent In turn being disqualified as an Inspector when his own particular di vision Is under examination. Prises are. given for the best divisions, the best sections, tho beat pieces of road bed, tho best" depots, the best pump houses, section' houses and grounds. Last year 10 stations on the system were awarded sllvor medals for per fection. One of the first to secure this last prise, for which there Is much competition over tha entire system, was Klamath Falls. WASIIIXGTOX PCBLIC SERVICE BODY WOIUUES OVER. TASK. Question as to 'Whether Distributive Tariff Order Can Bo Ready !n Time Granted Now Problem. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Dec. 13. (Spe cial.) Win the State Public Service Commission be able to complete Its dis tributive rate order by January 1, so that the railroads of Washington can put their tariffs Into affect by Febru ary 2, the date on which the back-haul rates of the Interstate Commerce Com mission will become effective? Is the question which Is bothering the Com mission at present. The Interstate Commerce Commis sion has Informed the State Commis sion that an extension of Its order on the back-haul ratea of 30 Instead of CO days had been granted. This means that if the distributive rates of tho State Commission are put In force on the same date as tho back-haul rates they must be prepared and the order served on the railroads within ths next three weeks. Traffic officials representing the Northern Pacific the Great Northern, the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound and the Oregon-Washington ft ail road & Navigation Company con ferred with the Commission yesterday, but no decision as to a tentative schedule was reached. On December 1J the Commission will hold a confer ence here with the traffic officials and representatives of tha different Jobbing centers In an effort to reach the most reasonable basis possible for the dis tributive rates between Paclflo Coast terminals and Eastern Washington points. It. P. Milter, general freight agent for the Harrlman lines of Portland, contended It would be unfair to the Oregon-Washington Itallroad A Navi gation Company to base the maximum rates on the short mllesge between Everett and Spokane over the Great Northern. Tho Commission wan In clined to take the same view, but re fused to admit that the longer mileage between Portland and Spokane should prevail. It la likely some sort of an arrangement will be made whereby the O.-W. It. N. can get Into Eastern WashlnKton on a competitive basis with the lines from Puget Sound ter minals. - RANCK MAY GET OFFICE Representative Approve Polndextcr in Land Office Choice. VANCOUVER. Wssh..

"Idaho has flatly refused to allow her women to do any such thing as debate In a semi-public way. but I do not think we will have any difficulty In getting some other college of good standing to take her place. Women here are anxious to begin work and this university runs a pretty good chance of taking honors by the way some of ths contestants are showing up in other contests. People Ticket Wins at Milton. MILTON. Or, Dec 13. Excitement In tho city election here was great yester day. Two tickets were la the field, the Citizens' and the People's, the latter winning out by a large majority.

These two were Indorsed by both parties. Washington law Knowledge Sought. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Dec 13. (Special.) ' That Australia Is Interested In the progress being made In the United States In labor legislation Is shown by the fact that State Labor Commissioner C F. Hubbard has been requested by O. H. Knlbbs. commonwealth statisti cian, of Melbourne, to furnish the com monwealth bureau of rrnsus and sta tistics with copies of the labor laws of Washington. He states In his letter to Commissioner Hubbard that a labor and Industrial branch of the bureau Is being organised. COMMISSION IS MIOUS NAVT VOTE Ifl MESS Olcott Withholds Appointment of Simpson as Captain. MEN'S BALLOT CAST OUT Colonel Jackson Holds That Choice of Shepherd by SI of Enlisted Personnel la IllcgalFlnzef to Confer Over Case. 'Following the announcement of the election of Edward M. Simpson to the captaincy of the Oregon Naval Reserve by a majority of 11 votes of the offi cers of the organization, came the an nouncement from Salem yesterday that Acting-Governor Olcott would with hold the commission of the newly elected Captain, pending an Investiga tion of a ballot of 31 votes filed by the enlisted men for George 6. Shepherd. In filing his report. Colonel James Jackson, who served as inspector of the election, mentioned the receipt of the packages containing the votes of the enlisted men. and said that he had thrown them out as Illegal. Adjutant Oeneral Finzer upholds the position taken by Colonel Jackson and will leave this morning for Salem to con fer with the Acting-Governor regard ing the commission of the Captain elect. The enlisted men of the Naval Re serve assert their right to vote for their Captain on the fact that the con stitution provides for the election of all Una officers In the National Guard by the enlisted men. and they claim tse same privilege In the election of tV Captain In the Naval Reserve. THose who cast ballots In the election for Shepherd assert that the majority of the men In the ranks are In favor of his reinstatement to the Captaincy. Olcott Decides to Walt. An appeal was made to 'the Acting Governor, as commanding officer of the mllltla of the state, to uphold the men In their contention, with the result that he decided to withhold Simpson's com mission until the case is settled. "While the law provides for the elec tion of the Captain In the National Guard by a vote of the enlisted men," said Adjutant-General Finzer, last night, "it has been the rule to permit only Captains and -field officers to vote In the election for Colonel. The Cap taincy lp the Naval Reserve is a rank ing co-ordinate to that of the superior officers In the Guard, and following the same general plan of procedure, only the officers would be entitled o vote In his election. I Intend to follow this rule until otherwise ordered by the courts of ths state or the Governor. I think that my position, will be fully upheld when I have an opportunity to communicate with the Acting-Governor and explain the case to him." - The entire misunderstanding appears to hinge on the failure of the enlisted men to appreciate the difference In the relative ranking of the officers in the National Guard and in the Naval Mlll tla. Adjutant-General Finzer believes that the action taken by the enlisted men of the Naval Reserve Is due en tirely to the sama agencies that stirred up the troubles some time ago, jrhlch resulted In the removal of Shepherd from the Captaincy. "The same Influences appear to have been back of most of the disturbances that have appeared from time to time In the Naval Reserve." he said. "I heartily approve of the newly-elected commanding officer of the Naval divi sion of our State Mllltla, and believe that his Influence with officers and men will have much to do with smoothing the misunderstandings and disaffection that has for some time Impaired the efficiency of that organization." George S. Shepherd said yesterday that he had been notified of the action taken by the men and that it was his intention to contest the election on be half of the enlisted men If Acting-Governor Olcott had not held up the Simp son commission. EUGENE SEEKS HALL SITE Driven to Move by Advancing Realty Values. Bids Are Called. EUGENE. Or, Dec 13. (Special.) Driven by sharply advancing property values to a realization that some pro vision for a city hall site must be made at once, the City Council last night passed a resolution Inviting property owners to offer to the city suitable sites. These tenders are to state the property offered. Its size, location and price, and give the city an option of $0 days In which to refer the question to the people, and provide for the proper bond Issue. A communication was received from a local syndicate which bought the old Methodist Church and the quarter block occulted by It at the corner of Tenth and Willamette streets, offering to sell the site and building to the city for 330.000. Mayor Berger said he thonght It would be best to submit several of the most desirable sites to the people for their choice. The question of a new city halt has been agitating Eugene for several years. but,nothlng has ever been done. The present structure is a small and disreputable-looking wooden building located next door to the county Jail, on ground owned by the county, and Is often mistaken by strangers for the Jail woodshed. It Is utterly Inadequate for the city's needs, even leaving out the question of civic pride. OREGON "IT GRADS TEACH Five Score Represented In 45 Sep arate High Schools in 23 Counties.
