It waa gener ally reported about the city during the afternoon, that the council would at the meeting tuko up the matter of the removal of Chief of Police Lee French. Nearly one hundred people gathered at the hour of the meeting, backera of the chief atutlng that they were there for the expre purpose of protesting against any ac tion which would be taken for hi re moval. Tbey alao came armed with recall petition to Insert Id, the name of every councilman voting for the re moval and which the committee atated would be circulated at once for their recall. The aeaalon of council lasted prob ably forty five minutes during which Councllihan Templeton offered and passed by vote of the council a resolu tion to the effect that a atatement be furnished the council a soon a pos sible, of all the moneys paid officially or personally to the city recorder's office by the city during the years 1911, 1912 and 1913 which statement would also name the sums and for what paid.

LOCAL PHONE .GIRLS REFUSE TO WALKOUT The local telephone force of opera tor refused the request of a delega tion from the striker of Portland, yesterday, that they Join In the walk out. The atrlke has affected the local office only with the leaving of three linemen who left tholr Job at the call of the union. Manager P. J. lloulton stated however that this had riot In anyway caused any delay or incon venience In giving the customary aer vla to the city. Four hundred men are now working In the paper mills of the Crown Will amette Paper company. J Three paper machines, caring for 75 per cent of tha plant's capacity, are In operation; machine No. 4 having been started Wednesday morning, Joining machines No. 6 and 6 that were placed in operation last Monday. The management expects to start No. 1 maphlne today. The llawley Pulp & Paper company is working 60 men In its machine room, and auxiliary departments. About 75 of the employes of the two companies, who went out on strike, have returned to work, and about 700 men are still out, about 125 of whom are working in Portland shipyards, many of them still living In Oregon City and making the round trip to Portland dally. These are the latest features of the paper mills strike that has been on here since October 2Cth. It Is apparent that while the strikers as a union organization, have not lost beart, their confidence In winning the atrlke has been shaken, and it Is free ly predicted that the atrlke will grad ually, If not speedily, wear Itself out. It Is no secret that the paper com panies have had their ears to the ground for months, and that they have not been caught napping, but have been prepared to cope wijh the situa tion. They have a temporary hotel at the Crown Willamette plant and are taking care of about 250 men there. They have succeeded In bringing In a number of expert workmen, some of them from the east, with the result that they have been able to place four paper machines In operation. The failure of the unions to keep the plants Idle has given the companies confidence and It Is reported that un der no circumstances will the union leaders and agitators be permitted to return to work.

KENT WILSON WRITES OF TRIP TO WASHINGTON The Man Who Outboxed Colonel Roosevelt Oak Grove and Jennings Lodge Seek Creation of Water District By Vote A petition for the incorporating of the communities of Onk Grove and Jennings Loclgo signed by over three hundred resldont of the communities was filod In the county court Tuesday.

A widespread agitation for open air retail markets, ha accomplished some thing in reducing vegetable prices. But according to the experts, it Is even more necessary to provide pub lic wholesale markets located on rail road tracks In shipping centers. Such markets are an essential link in the distribution systems in foreign coun tries, and are one element in the low er cost of living In Europe. The most essential feature of such markets is a system for public auc tions of produce. Such auctions slrbuld be conducted by a bonded official, whose absolute fairness to all parties is established. This stops the fre quent complaints that farmers make of commission men. Fraudulent prac tices in this line have been common, as where a shtpmentMs really Bold as No. 1 grade, and the farmer is credited with only tho price for No. 2 grade. With a public auction system to com-, pote with, commission men with' a tendency toward crooked work have to play fair to get any business. Farmers can come to such an auc tion with the knowledge that a good number of buyers will be present and tho seller will get all the market war rants. A good deal of, the produce would go direct to retailers. If the wholesalers are to got business, they must assure the farmer as much as he can get at the auction, and retailers must be given low prices to head off the tendency for them to buy direct. Tho great difficulty is of course the problem of email lots. The inde pendent grocer does not want to take his time to go to a cortain warehouse every day ho wants a bushol pf tur nips or a barrel of potatoes. Nor does the farmer want to bother with such small shipments. It is here that the wholesaler claims that he saves enough by handling in big lota, to gether with the time and bother he saves at both ends, to pay his commis sion or profit. But the public market with auctions compels him to make the minimum charge for his service and eliminate wastoful methods. Storage warehouses located in the farming districts can do a great deal to solve the problem of small lots, by Bending out these little shipments to the grocers as they need thorn. v. kit vx ' A V I Is r v11 V t 1 3t V 1 i Colonel Dan T. Moore, now at Camp Meade, the National Army Canton ment, at Admiral, Md., is believed to be the man who struck Colonel Roose velt in the left eye, twelve years ago in the White House gymnasium, and thereby ruined the sight of that eye. The colonel himself, in telling the Btory the other day, did not give the name of the man he boxed with. But when Colonel Moore, who was an attache at the White House, twelve years ago, was asked the direct question he admitted that It was he that tho colonel referred to. Tuesday, October 30. My head is Just filled with new and interesting things today. Yesterday afternoon and evening we travelled through the old state of Virginia, with its fields of snow white cotton on all sides and every little valley and glen covered with the most gorgeous, au tumnal plumage you ever saw. This morning Just as a misty fog was lift ing from over the dome of the capitol we arrived in Washington, D. C. The colonel announced a stay of two hours with privilege to do as we please which brouht forth loud cheers of en-J thusiasm. Many of the boys on this section are from Washington, D. C, their regiment having been broken up and scattered to the tour winds. This was their last chance to see the folks at home and they certainly made good use of their two hours, for they were off and going In all directions before we got started. My main objective was the white dome of the capitol, so calling the boys together In a column of twos we marched up to the "seat of the government." It's a wonderful building, all white marble and gran-, Ite. Standing on the Palisade steps you can see In the distance the gran ite shaft of Washington monument rising 600 feet in the air on all sides are immense 'executive buildings, li braries, halls, etc.; their quietude In the early morning hour in direct con trast to the busy spirit that prevails in them later in the day when the business of the nation In this hour of emergency starts moving Far to the right the White House the executive mansion of President Wilson can be seen in dim outline. Everyone In the city this morning was talking about the disastrous retreat of the Italians and the great offensive the Teuton forces have launched in northern Italy. We are due in Philadelphia In an hour or so nd then on to New York, if that is where we are going, as so far no one knows. The police and sheriff' office were notified early Tuesday morning to be on the lookout for six convicts who escaped from a wood camp a short dis tance out of Salem last night at mid night. The fugitives were all trusties and consisted of three negroes, two white men and an Indian. They left Salem in a car belonging to the 17. S. Department of Agriculture which they had stolen during the night and trav elled as far a the New Era hill Tues day morning where they abandoned the car and took to the brueh. Deputy Jack Frost and Chief of Police French started toward New Era shortly after they were notified of the escape and came across the car stalled on the hill, a farmer residing near had noticed the convicts attempting to make the hill with it, which when they found Impossible to do, left the machine. The car wa towed to Oregon City and ., in it was found a new water pail giv ing the officer the idea that the con victs had no doubt broken into a store along the route as they were In need of clothing and food. The guards from the penitentiary spent yesterday in the city and sur rounding country and stated last even ing that they were of the opinion that the three negroes were hiding in the brush in the vicinity of New Era, while the two white men and Indian were in the Silverton district Sheriff Wilson with a force of deputies left about sundown Tuesday for the New Era district and Chief of Police French with one or two extra men patrolled the city during the night The police expect trouble If the escaped men at- tempt to work through here on their way to Portland as they are expected to make an attempt to get food and money at the first available place. The men are Earl HIgley, Joe Wil son, John Majors, Farley Hunt, Jesse Taylor and Frank Johnson. HIgley and Wilson are white men the former from Multnomah county for burglary the latter sentenced from Douglas for larceny. Majors, Hunt and Taylor are negroes. Johnson is an Indian up from Umatilla county for larceny. DOES BACKACHE WORRY YOU? Some Oregon City People Have Learn ed How to Get Relief. How many people suffer from an aching back?

NO TRACE OF SK FOUND BY OFFICERS According to the statement of the local officials no trace has been found of the six convicts who escaped Mon day night from the penitentiary wood camp near Salem. It Is thought that upon the abandonment of the car on the New Era hill early Tuesday morn ing the fugitives separated each tak ing his own method of continuing his escape. Several of the Salem officers who spent Tuesday in the city left early Wednesday morning for the country on the other side of the Tuala tin in order to cut off their escape should any of the convicts have crossed the river instead of working through this section enroute to Portland.
