Railroads Language Changed. The managers had referred to their demands that "all questions of pay and working conditions" be settled along with the men's demand for better wages. The managers in their letter of July 16 setting forth their grievances re ferred to them as the ones which the railroads "intend" to have incorporated In the agreement to arbitrate.

The finding of a key to a situation Involving the awarding of bids for locks and other hardware for the Supreme Court building confronts the Board of Control. On the announcement that bids for these articles- would be con sidered tiay, lock experts from three Portland houses were on hand to ex plain the merits of their goods. "I don't know anything about locks," said Governor West. "It's little I know of them," suggested Secretary of State Olcott. 1 am not an expert," added Treas urer Kay. Someone said in an undertone that there were several lock experts in tne state prison. It was not urged, how ever, that they be called upon to be the judges. The State Architect and two machinists and engineers were called to act in an advisory capacity to the Board. Governor West and Secretary of State Olcott retired, but Treasurer Kay took a prominent part in the discussion. Because of a decision that the hard ware for the building must not cost more than $3000 representatives of the firms bidding say the locks will not be up to the standard of those usually installed in buildings of the character of the Supreme Court structure. The companies bidding are Honeyman Hard ware Company, Columbia Hardware Company and the Falling-McCallurn Company. Bids for the-construction of a boiler room at the Oregon State Training School were thrown out, the plans call ing for a structure that cannot be built within the appropriation. .

RECALL MANDATE REFUSED Opponents' of Mayor and Commis sioners Will Not Push Matter. WALLA WALLA. Wash., July 18. (Special.) Judge E. C. Mills, of the Su perior Court, today sustained the mo tion of City Attorney John Watson to quash the proceedings for a writ of mandamus to compel the City Commis sioners to call an election for the recall of Mayor A. J. Gillls and Commissioner George Struthers. This throws the matter out of court unless the men favoring a recall take it to the Supreme Court, which Is be lieved unlikely as the necessary delay of proceedings would throw the elec tion forward to about the time of the regular election next year. The writ of mandate was asked for Saturday and a date of hearing was net iur jxonaay. a motion to quash was immediately filed, the reasons ad vanced being that it was the city's case. The question was argued today and the city's points sustained. The city contended that the law had not been lived up to in the proceedings and that the signatures on the recall peti tions were insufficient. NEW EXPERT OPPOSED APPOINTMENT OF PROFESSOR WINSTON ATTACKED. LA GRANDE SEEKS WATER Council Votes to Begin Work on New System Without Delay. LA GRANDE, Or.. July 18. (Special.) In consequence of a leak In the water main near the Intake of the city water system yesterday La Grande was left entirely without water about midnight last night until near morning. The city's present system comprises a pipe line from Beaver Creek, a clear moun tain stream, and a very small 'reser voir, the capacity of which simply fur nishes a place in which to relieve the .ressure from the creek on the wood nains. A few hours after the leak in the pipe line the reservoir was . entirely empty. The Council met last night and, while the city was rapidly running dry of water, discussed the solution of the problem, which they considered lies in the construction of a large res ervoir at once.

Lawrence Re tained as Pathologist. HOOD RIVER. Or., July 18. (Spe cial.) A peculiar situation arose here yesterday afternoon when about 50 of the apple-growers met to discuss the plans of a campaign against fruit dis eases and pests with J. R. Winston, the newly appointed plant pathologist for the branch experiment station in the Valley. Professor H. S. Jackson, of the plant pathology department of the Ore gon Agricultural College, was substi tuted for Mr. Winston, who had not arrived from North Carolina. The grow ers made it plain that they desired to have Professor W. II. Lawrence, for merly County Fruit Inspector and Countly Plant Pathologist, retained as plant pathologist of the station instead of Mr. Winston lately appointed to the office by the Oregon Agricultural Col lege. The growers declared that the county should appropriate a fund for the purpose of keeping Mr. Lawrence here to work in co-operation with the new pathologist on account of the two years of experience in local conditions. Professor Lawrence, it was said, had been offered a position and immediate action was asked. A committe. com posed of W. B. Dickerson, P. S. David son and Professor L. F. Henderson, was appointed to confer with the Coun ty Court and make an effort to secure an appropriation for the retention of Mr. Lawrence. From expressions of Professor C. I. Lewis, who arrived last night with Mr. Winston from Corvallis it is unlikely that the Agricultural College will con sider the appointment of Professor Lawrence as pathologist for the sta tion. Friction between Professor Law rence and the Agricultural College has existed, and the former plant patholo gist, because the performance of his duties here as fruit inspector has aroused hostility among a great manv growers. Under such existing circum stances it is considered best to secure a man who can work harmoniouslv with all growers as well as with the college.
