" We thought tiie npirit and not the
letter ol the law hIioiiIiI be regardful,"
aid Mrs Nellie K. Trumbull, secretary
of the coiniMnf ion. in an inteiview with
the Oregonian. "It is for the welfare of
llie i hililien that the law was paused,
and w believe that their inteiests can
be best served in Ibis way. During the
vacation months children who are not
allowed to work often run wild and get
into no end of mischief. Oftentimes the
mother must work, and lias not time lo
care lor the children. Thev can be
handled all right as long as school is in
session, hut when there's nothing to oc
cupy their time, it seems to the com mi--sion
that they might as well be allowed
to engage in light work."
Although the children will be allowed
to work, the law will not be disregarded,
and arrangements must be made under
the supervision of the commission. 1'er
mission must be obtained before any
child will be allowed lo accept employ
ment, ami other phases of the law must
be complied with.
The following is the report of the com
mission, submitted by the secretary :
'The commissioners concluded that it
is i:i keeping with the, spirit of the law
lo permit children between the ages of
12 and 14 to engage in light work during
llie vacation He son. It will be necessary
for the parent or guardian of each child
desiring to work during vacation lo apply
to the secretary of 'he commiesion,. Mrs.
Nellie K. Trumbull, 721 Uorbett street,
I'urtland, specifying the age of the child
nd the nature of the work in which the
child is to be employed and the place of
employment. Upon such 'application a
special permit will he issued.
"The commissioners de-nre to an
nounce that the legal notices, the regis
ters and the affidavits can be obtained
on applicatiop to the secretary. The law
requires that each employer of child
lahor shall pot in a conspicuous place
the legal notict setting forth the maxi
mum number of hours per day and per
week that a child may be employed.
''In the register are recorded Die name,
age, place of residence, and name of par
ent or guardian of each child employed,
and it also contains a copy of the 'law.
Each employer is required to keeponfile
the allidavtts of the parents or guardians
of all children umler 1(( who are em
ployed. These afll lavits are open for
the inspection of the commissioners at
tiuiesX
"Tbe legal notices," says Mrs. Tram
bull, "must be posted in every place
where children are employed."
Thete notices set forth the number of
work hours permitted by the commission
under the law regulating child labor.
The maximum is ten hours per day, or
CO hours per week. An extract from the
law regulating night woik and spec al
kinds of work that children under the
age of 16 are not permitted to do is also
printed with the notice. The sections
quoted are aa follows:
Section 4. No child, under 16 years of
age, shall lie employed at any work be
fore the hour of 6 in tiie morning, or
after the hour of 7 at night, nor employed
longer than ten hours foa any one day,
nor moie than six days in any one week ;
and every such child,' under 16 years of
age, shall be entitled to not less than 30
minutes for mealtime at noon, but such
mealtime shall not be included as part of
llie work hours of that day; and every
employer shall post in a conspicuous
place where such minors are employed, a
printed notice stating the maximum
work hours required in one week, and in
every day of the week, from such minors.
Sec. 5. No person shall employ any
minor under 16 years ol age, and no par
ent, guardian or custodian shall per
mit to he employed any such minor un
der his control, who can not read at sight
and write leg blv simple een'euces in the
English language, while a school is main
tained in the town or city where tucli
minor resides.
Sec. 6. It shall be the duty of every
person, or corporation, employing a child
under the ape of 16 years, to keep a regis
ter, in which shall be recorded the name,
Rue. date of birth and place of residence
of every child under the age of 16 years
employed ; and it shall he unlawful fur
any person, or corporation, unless there

office in which such child is employed,

guardian, staling the name, date and
place of birth, and place of the school
attended by such child. The register
and affidavit herein provided for shall,
on demand, be produced and -shown for

and shall have the power to demand a
certificate of physical fitness (join some

Military Board Orders Disbanding of
Loral Omp my.
The State Military Board has resolved
to disband the militia companies at
Grant's Puss and Oregon City, says the
Oregonian. This action was decided
upon as necessary in order to comply
with the Dick law. The decision was
preceded by an animated debate.
The board decided that the Oregon Na
tional Guard should be composed of one
regiment of 12 companies, and one bat
talion of four companies, namely the two
at Eugene, the one at Koseburg, and the
one at Ashland, There are now IS com
panies, two of which are named above,
will be dismissed. The six in Multnomah
county will be retained.
This action does not meet the approval
of all members of the military board, but
they agreed to it in pursuance of the re-
pouoi me i. n ueu oiaiea ana state om
cers. The new arrangement will require
a colonel, a lieutenant colonel and two
major of the regiment and one major
for the battalion.
" "It ia necessary for Oregon to make
this reorganization," said a member of
the board, "in order to avail itself of the
benefit of the Dick law."
The board is empowered by law to dis
band any companies "whenever in their
judgment the efficiency of the stave forces
will thereby be increased.'
NKWS WAS Sl'BPRISE HEHI.
The action of the state military board
at Portland in ordering the disbandment
of Company A, Third Regiment, O. N.
G., of this city together with the com
pany at Grants Pass, is quite a surprise
to the memliers of the local company
and also the citizens. Oregon City
people have always taken great interest
in the local company which compared
favorably with any other company in the
state guard so far as proficiency in mili
tary tactics is concerned. The company
was recruited to nearly its full strength,
having over fifty enrolled men. The
commissioned officers of the company
refused to discuss'tbe matter but an en
listed member intimated that the ques
tion of the reorganization of the state
guard and the election of a new corpa of
officers operated in causing the disorgan
ization of Company A, of this city.
Official notification of the action of the
state military board baa not been re
ceived by the company officers here but
it ia expected that the muster out will
take place soon when the property of the
local company will be surrendered to
the state.

Hill I'e Leading Industry Of Valley,
Si) 8 J. din llattou.
"The dairy business is certain to be
the leading industry of the Willamette
Valley within a very few years," said
John Ilatton, vice president of the Clear
Creek Creamery of this county.
The Clear Creek Creamery is a co-operative
institution apd was organized by
the farmers of the neighborhood. Its
management has been a big success.
When the creamery was started, in May,
1!H)2, the output was only 400 pounds per
week and the product of the plant now
is 1S00 pounds a week. The operation of
the creamery is a. splendid investment
for the farmers who are interested therein
since they not only receive the current
market price for their butler fat but
share the profits that are realized from
the product of the creamery. '
"Of the entire Willamette Valley, no
other county is more suited to the dairy
industry than is Clackamas county,"
continued .Mr. Hatton. ' The extensive
range this county oilers is a solution to
the question of economic feeding. The
keeping ol a herd of cows is a source of a
useful fertilizer (or the farmer in his agri
cultural work and enables the growing
successfully of crops, alternately, where
the soil Would eventually become unpro
ductive, llesiiles being a paying busi
ness in itself, the dairy busine-H is indi
rectly an aid in promoting the agricul
tural life of the community.','
This creamery finds a ready msrket for
its product in Oregon City and Portland
ami finds it impossible to supply the de-

An'l-Trcfipim Noilee Served by Rill
roa I on Cum nil tee Via En
tirely Formal.
The committee 'n charge of the build
ing of the South End road has received
written notice from K. Koehler, manager
of the lines ol the Southern Pacific Com
pany in this state, advising them not to
trespass or. the company's property in
this city. No attention has been paid to
the notification by the road committees
which began work last week and has not
suspended operations because of the no
lice. If an attempt is made by the rail
load company to enjoin the committees
in the building of the road a lively tight
will be reciprocated.
This unexpected action on the part of
Mr. Koehler was q lite a surprise to the
road building committees Only a short
time ago a letter was received from Mr.
Koehler in which an the official head of
the Southern Paeifcic Company in this
state, lie assured the South End road
people that if they proceeded with the
building of the road with an underground
crossing, and keep the roadway a certain
distance from the center of the railroad
track, that the company would not only
provide all of the superstructure for the
underground crossing but in event the
case that is now pending in the supreme
court with reference to the title to the
extensive right of way that is claimed by
the Southern Pacific in this city, should
be decided favorable to the railroad com
pany, tben it would grant to the city free
of all cost the right of way for the build
ing of the road according to the plans
that had been decided upon.
This sudden change of mind on the
part of the company has greatly surprised
the committees. Work of constructing
the road has not been discontinued ben
cause of the receipt of the notice for the)
committees in charge ot the building of
the road construe the notice to be merely
a formal means of protection employed
by the railroad company to wifonn tbe
road people that they must not exceed
the privileges that have been previously
granted by the railroad company in the
building of the roadway. If an ell ort ia
made by the Southern Pacific Company
to defeat ihe building of the road, it is
certain to result in a lively fight between
the city and the corporation. A suit in
volving the title to the land over which
the Southern Pacific Company's trattka
pass and to which the railroad company
claims to be the owner in fee simple ia
now pending in the supreme court.
In the circuit court Oregon City was
the victor but the railroad corporation
appealed. In tbe meantime the citizen,
who are in charge of tbe building of the
road contend that they have an equal
right with the Southern Pacific company
to the lands in controversy until a defi
nite decision is rendered by the court.
WITHDRAWS ALL OPPOSITION.
Since the above was written, further
word has been received from the railroad
company to the effect that all probability
of any opposition from the Southern Pa
cific Company to the building of the
South End road in this city is removed.
The joint citizens' and council committee
in charge of the construction work baa
renewed assurances that the railroad
company will cheerfully co-operate with
the interested citizens in accomplishing
the speedy completion of the road.
Mr. Koehler has explained to the com
mittee that the formal notice against
trespassing that waa served by the com
pany last week on the committees in
charge of the work, was offered by tbe
comptny for it own protection, since
the city bad not regularly notified tM
railroad company of its acceptance oi the
latter'e concessions in the matter of tbe
right of way that bad been Uncondition
ally granted by the company, The rail
road company assures the committee of
its desire to co-operate in the building of
the road in every possible way. All ob
stacles are now removed, but it is feared
that the $2500 ia money that is available
will be inadequate to complete it.

Wast a Fire Alarm System. Citizena
here are discussing the advisability of in
stalling a fire alarm system and the
proposition may be submitted to the city
council for consideration at a meeting to
be held Boon. It is proposed to install a
system of a half-dozen boxes, to be dis
tributed equally in tbe business and resi
dence districts of the city. Fire Chief
Ruconicb was in Portland during the
week and inspected different systems.
The probable expense of the proposed
improvement is estimated at $1700. At
the present time the city has no fire
alarm system of any kind, save a fire
bell.
