WAGES WERE RAISED
Advance in Pay of Motormen
and Conductors
BY PORTLAND STREET RAILWAY
rirst Tear Men to Receive IT Cents
on Hour and Third Year Men
20 Cents.
F -I. Fuller, general manager of the
Portland Railway Company, yesterday
posted a notice in the car barns of the
line that beginning November 1 the fol
lowing scale of wages would go Into
effect:
First year men. 17 cents an hour; sec
ond, year .men, 1S cents an hour; third
year men, 30 cents an hour.
Formerly the highest paid men In the
employ of the company received IS-
conts an hoar, so that the raise Is one
which will be very acceptable.
Not long ago the men employed on the
various lines operated by the company
united In a respectful petition for more
wages, stating that the cost of living is
Increased, and that they felt entitled to
mors pay. The notice posted jesterday
Is the answer the company gives to the
petition.
The car men are naturally very highly
pleased with the action of their employ
ers. They have always been well treated
which is evidenced by the fact that men
now working on the cars ha e been In their
prosent positions for more than ten years.
About a year ago men of more titan three
years' service were advanced from $2 a
day to $3 26, which was the highest wages
paid to Portland street-car men up to that
time. As all car men work 12 hours a
day the men who have been more than
three years with the company will now
receive 52 0 a day, which they consider
ample wages.
The change will affect about 90 men,
and will make a considerable difference
in the running expenses of .the road, but
the company felt that Its employes were
entitled to the raise, and granted it
promptly and cheerfully.
caslon of this celebration, and that a
more general knowledge of the man and
his Influence upon tho history of the
country- may be had.
It la proposed to hold a banquet on the
evening of Wednesday as the final num
ber on the programme of this meeting of
j the association.
the various committees of the associa
tion, and much Important business will
be transacted, especially with reference
to such legislation as may be adopted by

DEVIL DESTROYED HIMSELF
Portland Chinese Colony Robbed of
a Day's Enjoyment.
There was a terror-stricken crowd of
Chinamen at 131 Second street yesterday
afternoon. The bamboo 'and paper im
ages hung up In front of the Josshouse
caught fire prematurely, and the stolid
Celestials hurried to send In an alarm
to the fire department from box 13. The
engines and hose companies responded
promptly, but when they arrived the fire
was over, as some one with presence
of mind had cast the flaming images to
the street below, where they flamed and
smoldered in full view of the crowd of
wonder-eyed spectators'.
The destruction of the devil is some
thing of a ceremony In Chinatown, and
had a joint gathering.
i was not scheduled to take place until to-
There are many things connected with
the Assessor's ofilce in which the County
Judge and Commissioners have a mutual
Interest, and this is why they have ar
ranged for these Joint assemblages. At
the last convention various changes In the
statutes regarding assessments and taxa
tion were discussed, and a committee was
appointed to consider the proposed amend
ments and to formulate laws necessary to t
correct existing evils. Reports wlu prob
ably be submitted at the coming meet
ing, and plans may be adopted for sub
mitting proposed measures to tho "Legis
lature. New officers for tho associations will
also be elected. It is expected that all
Assessors-elect whose terms begin on the
first Monday in January will be in at
tendance and take part In the discussions.
Mr. Greenleaf yesterday Bald In relation
to the meeting:
"Although I am going out of office, I
want It understood that I take a lively
Interest In all matters connected with as
sessment and taxation In this state, and
I have a number -of bills up my sleevo
to offer."
day. Preparations, however, were under
way. Two Images of paper and bamboo
had been placed on the veranda, and in
front of these were choice viands and
lighted taper candles. The wind that
blew briskly yesterday drove the flames
against the images, and it was' all off
with the Chinese devils. That the per
verse fiend should catch on fire before
the proper time was deemed only an
other trait of devilish character by the
Chinese, who had been robbed of a good
time. There was no damages other than
to the feelings of the Injured Chinks.
A Chinaman thus told the tale: "We
burnem up Devil tomollow. Todlay him

H. S. Tomllnson, a Pendleton contrac
tor, who was at the Perkins last evert
ing, on hla way to Sonora, Cal., said
Pendleton had built up In a very en
couraging manner within the past year.
"The city," said he, "has become the
headquarters for well-to-do farmers ani
stockmen of Umatilla County, who 'have
decided to move In from the ranches and
give their children the benefit of su
perior school facilities. These people
huvA p.nr.v homes built In the suburbs.
and continue to run their business at a
distance just the same.
"Quite a number of business edifices
have been put up In Pendleton during
the same period, and I have Just finished
the construction of a 100-foot brick front
on Court street. I have also considerable
work for the Winter In tho line of re
pairing old brick structures which had
been built on, the ground, with little or
no excavation, so that the lower floor
timbers and base3 have begun to decay.
These buildings I will Jack up and after
excavating under the walls I will put In
a solid foundation of brick and cement,
and provide ample ventilation, under the
ground floors hereafter. 1
"Pendleton will soon have an adequate
eewer Bystem, as the question of bond- j
lng the city for 30,000 for that purpose j
is meeting with avor. The water sys
tem of the city has Just been renewed ,
by placing 12-inch mains where but 6
lneh pipes were used before. Pendleton's
water system Is owned by the cits and
has now been placed on a solid buslnesj
basis by the present Mayor, who la a
thorough business man. The enterprise
run behind from 51100 to 51400 annually
hTt-tntnrn. but now It will be able to pay
Its own, way ahd relieve tht taxpayers
n that A-rtent. On the- first of next
J month meters will be put in each dwe.l-
lng, at tne expense ol me uwner, aim
although these meters will cost 514 apiece
a' great saving In the water bills will bs
effected by their use. The present
water rent In Pendleton, Is 51 5(1 per
month for a kitchen faucet and 23 cents
for the toilet, when connection has been
made with a cesspool. Hereafter the
rate will be 51 per month for families
using 25.000 gallons or less and 25 cents
additional will be charged for each 100)
gallons thereafter.
"The Pendleton water su:ply comes
from the Umatilla River, and is pumped
to an elevated reservoir near by. The
pressure Is very good, but the system
Is such that pressure can be applied di
rect from the main, supply pipe. The
present water suply Is ample for the
clty3 needs for a long time to come,
provided that undue waste is guarded
against, and this Is tho object of Intro
ducing the meters."
