Will Present Matter to
Council.
Military affairs in Oregon City are
booming. A special meeting of the
board of trade has been called for
next Friday night to discuss pinna af
fecting the proposed organization, and
at the special meeting of the council
Wednesday night the matter will be
laid before the city fathers by Coun
cilman Logus, who is out heart and
soul for the new company.
At these meetings the needs of the
company will be laid before the board
of trade and the council and it is prob
able that some steps will be taken In
the way of donations. First of all a
lot will be needed for the armory, and
then money will be necessary to help
build It It has been mentioned that
the city owns a lot at the top of Sev
enth street steps which was given to
it by Doctor McLoughlin for public
purposes, and this is thought by some
t) make an Ideal place for an armory.
Major F. A. Loomis, who has been
interested in the formation of the
rew military company, and who has
been mentioned as the future captain,
was in Portland Saturday conferring
with Adjutant General William E.
FInzer and. Colonel Jackson, Inspector
Ceael, 0n the proposed company.
He says that both of these men were
enthusiastic over the prospects of a
c v?any in Oregon City, and promis
r ' to do all In their power to bring
it a realization.
"red Humphrys has been clrculat-
with the construction of an armory,
and the best way to get hinds. One
man said he would start a popular
subscription with a substantial sum,
and another suggested that the county
and city do something to help put up
the armory. Of the $100,000 appropri
ation made by the legislature, from
$$000 to $10,000 will be avallnble by
Orepon City for the construction of
an armory. Of the $2,000,000 appro
priated by the United States govern
ment, only a small part will come to
Oregon, for that fund will be propor
tioned among the various states ac
cording to the number of troops in
the state. In Oregon there are pos
sibly 1300 men in the service, and in
New York as a contrast, there are
14.000."
"How about this petition that Is
being circulated among the grange to
call out the referendum on the bill
making that appropriation?" was asked.
"I don't think that will go through."
said the major. "When the grange
learn the absolute need of mora mili
tary organizations in the state, they
will not be so eager to cut out this
monev.
"There can be no question as to
the advantage of an armory In the
town. I understand there Is no pub
lic hall in town large enough to ae-
. an- mi oi juiy crowd or a
big meeting. Then, too. I understand
there is need of a good dance hall for
social functions. It would be the In
tention if we get an armory, to have

The couple were married In Albany

Hendee alleges that his wife's treat

since that time she has been living
in Portland. He asks nothing but a
separation.
Another unhappy married couple

HAS POLES REMOVED.
John Cooke nnd the Homo telephone
company clashed this week over th
location of some poles that the com
pany were putting up. '
According to Mr. Cooko, tho work
men attempted to place poles in his
alley between Fifth and Sixth streets
that connects Center and Washington.
The alley Is used for a roadway for
delivery wagons, and would bo clon
ed to all practical purposes by the set
ting of poles in it, for it is only alxuit
ten feet wide. While tho alley Is not
used as a public highway, yet It is
great convenience to delivery clerks
In reaching houses In the center of
the block, and were It closed It would
compel them to go a long distance to
reach their customers. Mr. Cooke ap
preciates this convenience, and order
ed tho company's men to remove tho
pole they had set which was done.

The woolen mills was forced to shut
down Its plant from 8:.",0 till afternoon
Monday because of a lurgo log being
caught In the Hume that supplies the
factory with water power. The tog In
question, which Is aUmt three feet In i
diameter, and contains about !)00 feet ,
of solid lumber, was noticed by several 1
residents of Canemah about 7 o'clock I
in the morning as they were coining i
to their work In this city. !
It had been tied to the bank of tho
river by some Canemah resident and
was afloat when first noticed. No one
however thought that It would get
near the flume, much less enter It.
The log laid crossways In the flume
and effectually shut off the water sup
ply for the time being. Teams were
engaged to haul the log out but were
not able to cope with the difficulty
owing to the position In which the
log lay in the flume.
When the car that arrives here at
noon passed the scene of trouble the
conductor fastened a line to tho log
from the car nnd succeeded in pulling
It from the flume.
