TEA3I- ITixtir Aslc for $2 50 a Day, Instead ,of $2 A Lively Street FlRlit. A majority of -the truckmen and dray zaon in the employ of the various trans ler companies ln the city wont on a strike at 1 P. M. yesterday, because their em ployers refused to raise their wages from $2 to $2 50 per day. They have been endeavoring to secure this increase of wages for some time. First they applied to their employers for it,and, falling to receive any encourage ment, they applied to the merchants and other patrons of their employers, asking j them to grant an Increase in the amount paid for hauling. They received no en- eouracsement from these, so anout a imontli ago they organized a union, and a few days ago made a demand for the (icsiruu. iiiuxv&sts vl 4-. "c 4cwie,i of the transfer companies held a meet ing'last Saturday evening and decided that they could not raise the men's pay, so yesterday the men struck. There a-e quite a number of transfer companies In the city, of which the most Important are: The Oregon Transfer Com pany, Northwest Transfer Company, Pa cine Transfer Company, Holman Transfer Company. Strleblg Transfer Company, Ralph Fenny Company, Wakeman & Morse, employing all the way from 5 to 25 men. Not all the employes of these companies joined the union, and conse quently not all the men went on the strike, hut In case of the larger com panies nearly all went out. At the O. T. Co.'s stables only one man hitched up his team yesterday afternoon ;two of the Holman Transfer Company's men took out their -teams. Only two of the Streiblg Company's men and two of the Northwest Company's men quit work. Altogether from 100 to 125 men walked out. The companies were put to some trouble bunting up men to talte charge of their trucks and attend to the orders of their customers, but there was but little inter ruption to business. Tho ground on which tho men demand on increase of wages Is that the cost of living and of all they have to buy has Increased of late, without any correspond ing increase of wages, and that times are much harder with them now than during tho hard times of a few years ago. The companies say that the increase of pay asked would be a serious matter to them In the course of a year; that their business is being reduced bj the building of railroad tracks to many warehouses, end by the competition of delivery con corns and outside truckmen and express men; that they cannot increase their charges to merchants, etc, and that there is but llttlo profit in their business any lonijer. The striking men wero being paid off hy mest of the companies yesterday. There was no appearance of hard feel ings between the men and the employers, hut the employers were firm in their de trmlnation not to jgrant the increase of pay asked, and say that unless they can Sret men for $2 per day they must go out of business, as they are Teally hauling for leas money than they used to, and their business is constantly decreasing. One employer said some of the strikers wore already willing to go back to work, twt he should not employ any man who lad quit work; he had given them warn ing that he should not, and ho intended to abide by what he had said. Among the men paid by the Holman Transfer Company yesterday was Sam Grover, who has been in the employ of the company for a. years. He was swarthy and sunburned enough to pass for a foreigner, but is a New Hampshire Yankee, and, although 5 years old, can hold his own with younger men. He said he did not belong to the union, and was g-oincr to work today. One of the employers said yestcrdayy: "'No one can blame the. men for en deavoring to secure an increase of pay, for, as they say. the cost of living has increased of late, hut if the employers cannot afford It, how can they make tho increase1" It is probable that they can in a few days find men to take tho place J of the strikers, but It will take some timo for them to become as efficient- The men who have gone out are generally good, eteady men, and it is to be -hoped the trouble can bo amicably settled in some way." Only e unpleasant Incident in connec tion with the strike was observed during the afternoon. A big, double-fisted fel low, one of the strikers, who had been drinking a little too much, and was pot valiant, saw a smaller man driving a loaded -wagon from Lm? & Co.s store, and began to abuse him. He called him several vlie names, and finally one which meant tight. The smaller man got down oft his wagon, crossed the street, and the two closed in combat. After a few passes the smaller man got in a good one on the jaw of his bulky opponent, and then clinched, and down they went, the big man underneath, and his head hanging over the stone curb. The man on top grave his oppoent a clout or two. choked him till he was black in tho face, and then, telling him he did not want to hurt him, let him go. A score or more of men saw the affray, but not one offered to interfere, as they thought the big fel low et ao mere tban he deserved. Tell Trrenty Ffct. lira.

Saturday morning, in descending a flight of stairs, she stumbled and fell to tho bottom, a distance of 20 feet. Several bones were fractured, and a physician was Immediately summoned to attend her. At last accounts she was resting easily, and no serious results are anticipated from the accident. PLEASANT TOUR OF EUROPE j. jr. Teal Telia o" What He Saw on. the Continent. J. N. Teal and wife, who left Portland In February last, to make a tour of. Europe, and visit the Paris Exposition, arrived home Monday, well and hearty, after a most enjoyable jaunt. They went first 'to London and .then to Paris, where they tarried for about two weeks and visited the exposition. They then pro ceeded across France to Marseilles and along the Mediterranean coast to Italy; visited Rome, Naples and Venice; then Munich, the CTeat art center of Ger- i .., ,rl . ... many; thence to Vienna, uresaen, .Benin . Rhne tQ Hiedelberg and Nuremburg. They then went back to Munich and over to Oberammergau to see the Passion Play; thence through Switzerland and back to Paris for another two weeks' stay. Then they traveled over England, Scotland and Ireland, embarking for home at Queens town. Mr. Teal says Ireland Is one of the most beautiful countries he saw on his trip, and the Irish have a great affection for America and Americans. Any attempt to describe any of the many countries and cities seen on the journey would be out of place here, as Mr. Teal's notes fill several large diaries. Speaking of the Paris Exposition, Mr. Teal says it is a great show the great est on earth. The trouble with It from the standpoint of a sightseer is that ltvls so vast and spread over such an extent of ground that It is very hard to see it all, a portion of it being five miles dis tant from the rest. "The fair," said he, "can be justly criti cised on three points: "There Is no suit able "way of getting around to the various departments without being tired out. A moving sidewalk carries one out of his way and wastes much time. "Another serious defect is that there is no convenient way of getting away from the grounds at nlgnt At S P. M. boats stop running on the Seine, and if they kept running they would be of little use, as the fair does not close until 11 or 12 o'clock, and then some 300,000 to 400,000 people are turned loose to find their way to their homes or lodgings. "The third fault Is the large number of fake shows allowed Inside the grounds, which charge high prices, and many are caught by them all the time. These are the only faults to be found justly other wise the exposition is magnificent In every respect. "Instead of all the exhibits of each na tion represented being placed together, exhibits of similar character from all na tions are placed together. This plan has advantages and disadvantages, but these need not trouble Oregon, as the only thins: seen there from Oregon was some canned salmon, and even that was overshadowed by Alaska salmon. "The American exhibit is a poor one except in some lines of machinery. The great exhibits are the German, French and Russian, Belgium making a fair fourth. When I left Paris, admission tickets to the exposltipn were selling for about 9 cents each, and if it was not worth 9 cents to see the exposition it was not worth anything. "Tho people of Paris subscribed large sums to the exposition fund, taking the value of the same In tickets at a franc each. Now these tickets are selling at a discount, and no tickets are sold at the entrances. "London and Paris are great cities, but vastly different. London Is a business city. Paris Is made attractive to alluro visitors, off whom the citizens make their money. Berlin and Munich are becoming great cities, having improved rapidly within tho past 10 years.'" Mr. Teal looked into municipal matters in most of the cities he visited, as he takes a great Interest in such matters, especially in regard to the "municipal ownership of public utilities." Mr Teal saw many of the crowned heads and dignitaries of Europe In fact en countered them at every turn, as it were, but none made the Impression on him made by the sight of the old pope while being carried around on his chair and blessing many thousands of pilgrims col lected at St Peter's. He did not get any of the blessing ho was so busy looking at the old man, who appeared almost transfigured.

Co., the Columbia and State of California, make the trip in 50 hours, affording a grand panoramic view of the Lower Co lumbia River, the picturesque Columbia River Bar, the beautiful ocean beach at Clatsop, the towering heights of Cape Hancock, the lonely midocean lighthouse at Tillamook Rock, the historical Rogue River Reef.

Worlc of Construction Will Besin Very Soon Line Will Tap a Rich Conntry. W. W. Thompson and party of lve gentlemen, connected with the Oregon Midland Railroad, have arrived from Oin. casro and exDect to arranire nrehmlnarias for the construction of the Si miles ot road from Klamathon, Cal., to Klamath. Falls forthwith. Rights of way have been secured for nearly the entire dis tance, only a few small tracts which be long to estates being excepted. Condem natory proceedings are to bo Initiated in regard to these, so no delay from them is anticipated. The survey of the line follows up the Klamath River from Klamathon to Jenny Creek, and thence across some level table lands to the river again, by which It reaches its terminus at the county beat of Klamath County. The road will open up one of tho largest bodies of sugar pine in America, onr tract alone embody ing over 1,500,000 acres. Large tracts ot rich farming lands will also be brought Into connection with the markets of the world. The Klamath Lake Basin has long been known locally for its fine wheat and oats, but Its cultivation has been limited to the local demand, on ac count of the distance to a railroad. With the Oregon Midland in operation, these lands will spring into life and support a dense farming population. The stock resources of Klamath and Lake Counties have been developed to a great extent within the past 20 years, and large shipments of cattle, horses aria sheep have been sent out annually In all directions, many being driven to Ager and from there freighted to San Francisco: others to Reno or Wmnc mucca, to bo taken East, while Montana, Idaho and Nebraska buyers have pur chased many for the ranges of the Kocky Mountain plateau. Portland buyers have also taken many thousand head from the locality at good prices, and stockmen, as well as farmers, of those two counties ! have all become well to do. The tap ping of Southeastern Oregon by this new lino will tend to stimulate the stoclr in dustry and make exportatlons much easier and cheaper. The promoters of the road also think It will help Portland's trade with that region, although Klamathon, Its junction with the Southern Pacific, lies in North ern California. At present the trade Is supposed to be about equally divided be tween Portland and San Francisco, but the new lino will enable Portland's trav eling men to reach Klamath Falls and Lakevlew quicker than those of San Francisco, while shipments of goods from this city will have the advantage of time and distance. The road is to cost over J2.000.000. equipped with first-class rolling stock I and heavy locomotives. The capital is to come entirely from the East, the pro- ' moters denying emphatically any con nection with the Southern Pacific, not withstanding the reports that the big Cal ifornia system was behind It. Portland contractors are to be given a chance to figure on Its construction, the work being let in five subcontracts. Sev eral well-known city railroad builders aro now on the ground, making esti mates, and It Is the Intention of the com pany to have the cars running Into Klam ath Falls by March, 1901. Klamath County citizens have encour aged the building of tho line by subsi dies, In the shape of lands to the value of $17,000, while much of the right ot way has also been donated by land owners, who realize tho Importance of the enterprise. A big tourist travel is expected next Summer, as Crater Lake lies but a short distance away from the line, while some of the scenery In that portion of the Cas cade Mountains excels in grandeur and beauty that of any other part of the continent. PITTSBURG RAILROAD MAN". E. A. Ford, of Pennnylranla Rail rrny. Visits Portland. E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania Railway system, spent yesterday In Portland, having arrived !rt his private car from Pittsburg, Pa., 'over the Northern Pacific He was accompan ied by Samuel Moody, assjstant general passenger agent, who, with his family, took advantage of the opportunity to visit the Northwest Mr. Ford said his trip was taken on business, but nothing of a nature to In terest the public His company's lines now extend from Philadelphia to New York, Chicago and St Louis, but its in terests extend everywhere In the United States where 50 persons are gathered. Eastern railroads and especially the Pennsylvania are enjoying a period of unprecedented activity and prosperity, which began last year. He looks tor ward to a tremendous traffic toward the coast this Fall, as everybody has money, and people will travel when they have money. Tourist travel westward will ba particularly heavy, and Portland Is going to get a great deal of It He had not been here for six years, and was struck forcibly by the Improve ments that had. taken place since then. 4You have an. immense- territory of Machine OH Per bottle 5c Moth Bails Per bag ;... 5c Bathing Caps " ' Special 18c Paper Napkins -, Hundred . 1 5c AT REDUCED .PRICES 'our own h,c& cannot be taken from I y you," he said, "and Its growth will con tribute to the growth of Portland." Both gentlemen were confident of Penn sylvania's rolling up her usual Repub lican majority this Fall, and Mr. Moody was particularly positive of the seating of Matt Quay in the United States Sen ate by the Legislature to be elected in November. "The opposition to Mr. Quay," he said, "originated with ward politicians, who had personal grievances against him, but we have all our Legislative nominees pledged to go Into caucus for Mr. Quay this time. He will be sent to the Senate and have votes to spare." The party left last evening over the Southern Pacific for San Francisco. Mr Ford's family are at Pasadena, Cal., ana I after visiting them he will go on East to Plttsburjr. Prosperity at Sumpter. W. II. Hurlburt, general passenger agent of the O. R. & N., returned yes terday from a tour or observation to Sumpter. He found the people of that vicinity busy In developing mines, whllo the adjacent mountains were full of pros pectors, who will not return to Sump ter until Fall, so no Information of new strikes can yet be obtained. The whole country, however, has an appearance of growing business. Crops are good, and the harvest is being gathered rapidly. He expects to hear of a groat many good strikes In those mining districts be fore the year is out. New Road to Wendllne:. The Southern Pacific hopes tq have cars running into Wendling, Lane County, by August 10. A large force Is now en gaged In laying track, while all tho bridges across the McKenzIe and Mo hawk have been finished. This new branch will tap a rich "belt of timber, and already a large amount of lumber Is lying In the Booth-Kelly mlllyards awaiting shipment to California, Arizona and other points south.

Fred Toung, a prominent sheepraiser of Eastern Oregon, Is In Portland with his family, on his way to Seaside, where ho has a cottage in which to spend the few weeks of the hedted term. His sheep ranch Is 12 miles from Shaniko, and as his 10,000 head of sheep are now pick ing sunflowers in the forest reserve, he has time to enjoy a short vacation. He sold 12,000 head of yearling and 2-year-old wethers this year to Eastern Oregon buy ers, and so Is in no particular hurry to dispose of his heavy wool crop until prices advance a little. This he feels as sured they will do In tho Fall, as soon as McKinley's re-election Is made known. He thinks all that Is keeping the prlc6 down now Is the menace contained in the bare possibility of Bryan's election. He said yesterday that Shaniko seemed to be Interfering with the wool trade of The Dalles somewhat, as the clip from Prineville and Canyon City was being largely stored In the warehouse at the new town. His own wool he had hauled to The Dalle3, as usual, as It only cost him cent a pound to take It there by team, while the freight wagon brought merchandise back at the rate of cent a pound. Besides this, a large number of teamsters reside in his portion of Wasco County, "and teamsters must live. He thinks, however, that Shaniko will get a" the wool trade next year, as tne v. R- & N. has manifested Its Intention of giving Shaniko equal terminal rates with Tho Dalles, in order to meet boat com petition on the Columbia River portage. This move will tend very much to the up building of Shaniko, which has already become quite an Important commercial center. Mr. Young Is one of those sheepmen who takes no stock in the agitation over sheep ruining the timber of the Cascades reserve. "Sheep," he said, "keep down fires In the mountains by eating up the grass that would transmit fire from one sec tion to another after the vegetation be comes dry late In the Summer.
