Feb. .'!. .Seattle to night races the dread prospect of a general strike that threatens to tie up every important Industry in the city, demoralize its commercial ac tivities and interfere seriously with the most ordinary domestic and per sonal routine of its citizens. The strike order is effeetive at 10 o'clock next Thursday morning mid not In uc hut a peremptory order from the Central Labor Council or uncompromising concessions on the part of the employing shipbuilders, against whom the original strike was directed, can prevent it. and anyone familiar with the past record or the Seattle Central Labor Council known how slim are the chances for Inter ference from that source. The shipbuilders say they cannot m L'otiate with the strikers at all un less die men fir-d go haek to work on the same scale of wages that was paid at the time they ouit two weeks ago. The reply of the shipyard work ers, with whom are allied the em ployes of scores of foundries, ma chine shops and ether Industries not directly connected with the hip yaids nearly :!o,oeo n number al together -is the general strike. l etter I 'nun Julius It id die .ludL-e I It.

Mr. Cooper had been in failing health for some time past and had gone to Ashland to spend the winter, hoping to he benefitted by the higher altitude. Plinn Cooper was a native of Es sex County, New York, his birth be ing on December 1!), 1836. In his early manhood Mr. Cooper came to the Pacific Coast via the Isthmus of Panama, landing at San Francisco. From there he went to Crescent City, Calif., and thence walked to Josephine County, Oregon, where he followed mining and prospecting for a year. Coming then to Douglas County, Mr. Cooper took up a Gov ernment land claim about 12 miles southeast of Roseburg and erected n small sawmill. A year or two later he engaged In farming in the Rob erts Creek neighborhood and made that vicinity his home ever after ward. He helped to develop the big lime and cement deposits there and planted one of the ilrst prune or chards In that section. In IXtiO Mr. Cooper married Han nah K. Kelley, who survives him, and who, with their youngest daugh ter, was at his bedside when the tiuul summons came. He Is survived liy two sons, P. E. Cooper and Minor M.

Kosvnrg's city dads met in regu lar session last evening and in the absence of Mayor Stewart, Council man Walter Hamilton, who was elected president of the city's ex ecutive body, took the chair and called the meeting lo order. Coun cilmen l'oell, Hamilton, Klsher, L. Kohllutgen, Barker, Nichols and Kidd answering roll call. After the reading of the minutes of the previ ous session, L. B. Moore, the local Southern Pacific agent, acting as spokesman for a committee on safe ty first, took the floor and informed Hie council that children of this city were making a practice of playing In Ihe local railroad yards and riding trains, thereby jeopardizing life. Mr. Moore said that the practice was ex ceedingly dangerous and unless some immediate action was taken in the matter, Homebody would he likely to be killed or badly maimed. In sug gesting a remedy the Southern Pa cific ollicials stated that the parents of the children who have been mak ing Hut railroad yards a sort of playground, had been notified that their children were endangering their lives, "Hut," continued Mr. Moore, "In forming parents doesn't seem to get the desired results and 1 suggest that lines be imposed. Money makes people notice things nnifh (ulcker." The matter was dis cussed at some length, and an ordin ance was found, which was passed June lo, 1HK4. This law prohibits children from congregating on rail road property unless properly chap eron etl, and Chief of Police Sham brook was Instructed to look after ( hlldren who persist in riding trains and make what arrests he deemed necessary to Insure safety. The 1 eports of both the city treas urer and cily recorder were then read. The city's financial condition .-to far as the general fund is con cerned, is very good. After discuss ing the reports at some length It was ordered that the judiciary cominltloe be empowered to locate a suitable person for the purpose of experting the city's books up to the llrst of i:l!i, and that henceforth a thor ough auditing will he made each suc- eediiiK year. At this Juncture some of the couu cil body appeared rather startled when City liecorder Whipple read a letter from the Public Service Com mission which stated that Fehrutry Mb had been set as the date for the Ilea nn c (,1' the proposed raise in gas rat s 111 Koseburg.
