Would it not be n cood idea to

irrotinds? The "dead ones" in tlie
city would be sure to vote for them

down n park proposition.
The Orcgouian made n woeful
mistake Monday when it reported
that P. II. Kdlcfsou had died a few
hours later than Mr. Wood, and
also in stating his business connec
tions. Iivklcntly the fault ot a re
porter who did not take the time
to have the report verified before
sending the report to the paper.
Tltc Mount Hood Railway cm
ploycs are out on a strike and ev
crytmug is sum down ttgiu as a
drum head. The grievance is said
to be on account of the company
employing iioti-iininti men to aid in
erecting poles and paying them
$3-5 cr day instead of the union
price of $4. The strikers admit
that under their verbal agreement
with the company that it may em
ploy non-union men, but that union
men must be given the preference
and that the scale of wages must be
the same in both instances. The
company claims that it is paying
7.3. 50 lor hoisting poles when they
could secure all the men they need
and more at 2.50 per day. It is
said that the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company has been
resorting to this same method for
some yuars. liven the strikers ad
tuitthis. Like nil strikes, it has
two sides to it. Iloth sides look at
it from their own point of view.aud
of course neither correspond. The
strikers are orderly and have at
tempted no violeiice.nnd claim they
anticipate none. In the meantime
progress is stayed. In the cud the
strikers will likely go back to work

It is the term applied by electrical workers to the currents of
electricity which flow through a copper wire.
"JUICH" is probably Man's greatest invention and brings
to the use of the household light and power at a moment's notice.
It is the cheapest, when convenience and cleanliness are con
sidered. It is the safest from danger of Arc and there is nothing to
equal it in our cosmopolitan life.
