BOYCOTT IS DECLARED PORTLAND BEER DECLARED UNFAIR BY UNIONS Probable That North Pacific Brew- cry Will Be Included as Grievances Are Same. The Federated Trad Aanembly, of Portland, has declared the beer of the Wow hard and Uambrlnus breweries of Porilar.d and the Star brewery of Van couver to be "unfair," which la a polrte way of saying that union men will tie asked to purchase some other product. in ail probably ihe PJorth Pacific I rev. ery of Astoria will be Include I In tho order of "unfalm.ns," as Mr. Kopp Is (r. the aasoclatlon of brewers; the other members of whl,:h are the pro prietors of the breerles placed under the bin. The local aas-?mbly of the Federated Trade, met Friday night and discussed th brewery employe, strike but no action was taken or at ;eaft such was the Information glvn out. The brewery ernpiyea strike begins to look serious an l the signs point to a prolongej per iod of ldl"nen for the strikers. The biewery w.rken nave received Instruc ts ns which make It Impossible for them to declare the boycott off until their terms are signed by the bona brewers, A representative of the strikers lent north from Sin r"ranelsco is quoted in th? Telegram aa stating that the brew ery workers have sufliclent funds to keen the strikers out six months at the end of which time the matter will probably be settled. Mr. Kopp, of the North Pacific brew erv. stated last night that he had re ceived no noilte of any action having been taken by the local labor unions and he did not believe anything bad been done. No notiilcatlon has been served on the Portland brewers but large consignments of beer are en route from San Francisco and Puget sound cities and It will be up to the saloon mm whether or not the Portland te.'r will be boycrtteJ. As most of the bar roms are lther owned by or mort sriteed to the brewers it may be diffi cult to for.- the sale of foreign beer. Already the dally aalea of the saloons handling th.' boycotted beT have fallen off consl lerably and will probably con tlnu to do so. The Usue now at stake Is believed to be a schedule of hours and wages which will have to be ap nroved bv the national organliation. WILL ABANDON FERRT. North?rn Pacific to Bridge River at Vancouver. PI ins are now being prepared for a modern steel bridge to cost $1,130,000 to be buut probably at Vancouver by the Northern Pacific railroad, the object being to discontinue the ferry in opera tion between Coble and Kjla.na. A corps nf engineers are now in the field plan ning the necessary changes In the road lei to meet all the requirements. According to rumors current in rail road circle the original -plan contem plated the location of the bridge below the mouth of the Wlllamotte, but Port land eitlaens interposed objections and other locations higher up were investi gated. It is thought that the decision to locate the bridge at Vancouver in dicates ihat the Northern Pacific and Washington and Oregon lines will work trcether. The Uat named is supposed to be backed by the Great Northern and L'nlon Pacific.' and will be extend ed from PortUnd north to the Nlsqual ly coal fields. DO TIMES JUSTIFY IT ?

The following is reprinted from the editorial columns of the Corvallis Ga xetts: Small beginnings In life often lead to great ends. Hon. C. W. Fulton began hla career -In Oregon years ago as a country school teacher. He is now one of tho Intellectual giants of tt.e state and commands the respect of all classes of neonle of Oregon. The Albany Her ald relates the following interesting story of Mr. Fulton's Irst appearance; "Perhaps not many people know 'It. but Hon. C. W. Fulton, president of the Oregon senate, formerly . .taught school in Linn county. Along back ih 1R7U a . young man landed In Albany and huhted up the county school su- J nerlntendent, at that time Hon. J. K. WeathforJ. Mr. Weatherlord waa just completing his terni and entering upon the practice of law. The stranger in troduced himself and said he had Jut lately arrived lhvthe state from the "East and wanted a Job. The superintendent Union Made Clotliin Is made in Sanitary Shops Is made by Experienced Tailors Is made to Fit and to Wear wmm made ammm Is sold by the best stores in the Union at no higher prices than sweat shop goods. . "- WE DELI ABU -JlIA Pioneer UNION MADE CLOTHING In Astoria asked him If he had ever taught school and the young man replied: "No, but I think that I can." A certificate was issued him and to a school near So daville. where he walked from Albany, his finances not being quite at par, and taught several months, giving splendid satisfaction. The young man waa Mr. Fulton, now one of the lead ing attorneys of the state, residing at Astoria, where he went directly from Linn county. He relates the details of his stay In Unn county with pleas ure, and tells many amusing incidents which go toward making it a. very hap py chapter in his career." CONDENSED FROM CLIPPINGS. A new gas well In West Virginia has been named the "W. J. Bryan." ' At the suggestion of Emperor Wil liam a oill has been introduced In the Prussian diet regjlating the sale of al coholic beverages. The Law and Order League of Seat tle has succeeded in having the pm icietor of a nlckle-in-the-slot machine bound over for trial. The Seattle Yacht Club is a new or ganisation for the promotion of sport on Puget souhd. The fleet will be com ped of fourteen or fifteen yachts at the outset. A Jurr ih a Tacoma court recently returned to the box after a recess in a state of intoxication. The Judge dis missed the jury and fined the Juror $170 for hla indiscretion. Two. occupants of the county jail at Eugene recently tried to escape by setting tire to the structure but, the blaxe was extinguished, hftire the res iraining Strepjjift of the Ja'i vas waK ered. Owners of water front property In Everett have been sued in the federal court by iCmma Kromer who claims title to an undivided one-third inter tst. alleging the title of the present holders to be faulty. The new vessel for the Pacini; Coast Steamship Co.'s lleet. The Spokane, was launched yesterday at San Francis .-o, and the ship was christened by Miss Maud Lavina Wadaworth, a beautiful society girl of Spokane. W heat touched 10 cents InThe Dalles last week for the first time this year and over 100,000 bushels changed hands.

Salem made a success some years ago along similar lines and ihe bonds not on ly sold at par, but the Interest remain ed In circulation in and about the cap ital city. A recent ruling by the postotlice de partment enjoins locksmiths from mak ing keys for postofttce boxes" without the consent of the postmaster. Com plaint has been made to the depart ment that there Is altogether too many keys out to Individual boxes, and fre quently duplicates are made of which the postmaster has no knowledge, A Spokane liquor dealer who recent ly Imported 182 barrels of old whis key had the effrontery to ask the may or of the city to allow him to parade the consignment, with a brass band at the head. The official refused to Is sue the permit fearing that the specta cle would start a temperance crusade, the effects of which would b felt at the coming election. Joseph Branco. a Frenchman, made a rather amusing mistake recently while rr-akirg the trip from Seattle to Ta coma. A shipping commissioner and ship captain were in the cabin signing six sailors and Branco mistaking t: j purposes of the signatures Joined the crowd and signed the article. When told of the Import of hi action he rdeadd leniency and the captain andi commissioner gave him a bad half hour, after which "failed to Join" waa writ ten across the articles aiid Branco al lowed to depart. .

To stop th$ night fishing, entirely would probably require more rtroJ tjoats tilaa th$ case would justify. ('AN CUBANS GOVERN THEM SELVES. One of the best Known diplomatists recently declare that the Cubans are Incapable of governing themselves, and that the United States must maintain its present control Indefinitely, or else! annex the island. There will be those who will dispute this, but there are none who dispute the well established fact that Hostetter's 'Stomach Bitter Is capable of controlling the common diseases of the stomach. It Is a rem edy that is backed by fifty year of success. It is an Ideal medicine for constipation; a strength builder for those w ho are predisposed to lung trou bles, and for nervousness it is of won derful be lent. As an appeilaser It Is In compatible. Those whose stomach are out of order should not fail to try a bottle. CALL FOR WARRANTS.
