Ponference "Willi Iesrlalator From
Multnomah County Relative to
Change In Lavrs To Make
Auditor Elective.
At a conference Saturday night between
the Taxpayers' leasee and the members
of the Legislature from Multnomah Coun
ty, It Tvas practically decided to Introduce
bills making' the office of County Auditor
elective, and consolidating the county of
fices of Clerk of the Circuit Court, Re
corder and Clerk of the County Court. It
ent manner of drawing Jurors, and pro
viding that the drawing of the regular
panel shall be In open court, increasing
the number drawn for the regular panel,
and where special venires are Issued they
shall first come 'from the regular panel;
but If required from tne body of the
county, then, unless the jurors are ac
cepted, they shall not receive any fees. A
very large part of the costs of the Jury
results from the manner of drawing the
special venires, by which a large number
of them are rejected by one side or the
other, and if rejected they are paid for a
day's services and a per diem. It has been
thought that it would not work a hard
ship upon any one If the rule made ap
plicable to witnesses In state cases be ap
plied to Jurors who do not serve.

NEW MEMBER FOR Y.M.C.A.
FRED B. SMITH DRAWS 100 YOUNG
3IEN TO THE FOLD.
excepting two or three, who were un
avoidably detained, were present at the
meeting, and the utmost interest was
shown in the discussion of all the subjects
brought up. The Legislators assured the
members of the league that they are in
a conservative frame or mind, and that
their sole object Is to enact only such
legislation as will bring relief to the city,
county and state. For nearly two years
the Taxpayers League has been making a
study of existing conditions in this city
and county, and have naturally accumu
lated Quito a fund of Information. In
addition to this they have caused their at
torneys to draft bills covering such points
and questions as In their judgment re
quired additional or new legislation.
Tho meeting was callea for the purpose
bf discussing the affairs of the county
and city, and measures were proposed for
remedying defects and abuses.
Tho matters touched on were confined
practically to county affairs, as there was
bo much interest taken In the various
proposals that one evening was found In
sufficient to cover the entire ground.
Among the measures discussed was one
snaking the County Auditor an Auditor In
fact as well as in name, and making the
bfflce elective by the people. Under the
provisions of the proposed law, every item
In every account will have to be subject
to the closest scrutiny, and It Is made
obligatory on the Auditor to reject all
aot in accordance with law. If this bill
becomes a law. the Auditor will be the
"watch dog" of tho treasury, and the of
fice the most important In tho county.
The repealing of laws creating a number
f different offices in the county was ad
vocated Tjy the league, and favorably
considered by the Legislative delegation.
It was stated that no one desired to crip
ple the departments, but that it was the
universal Intent to stop all leaks, and
do away with all unnecessary offices.
The consolidation of the office of Coun
ty Recorder, County Clerk and Clerk of
the Circuit Court was discussed at length,
and also the advisability of doing away
with one Justice Court and having the
"Municipal Court do its work.
The fact that the Constables collected
no fees for the county, although they
are paid a salary by tho county, the pay
ment by the county for clerks in Justice
Courts, and other defects and extrava
gances in connection with the present
Jaws relating to Justice Courts, were
pointed out.
Among other matters discussed was the
proposed change in the law relating to
the payment of school moneys by the
County Treasurer, so that they shall be
payable monthly instead of quarterly.
This would result in a large saving of
interest each year, and avoid having the
school fund temporarily embarrassed be
tween payments, and also do away with
the necessity of making temporary loans.
It was also proposed to amend the law
In relation to fees paid in probate matters
by making the fees graduated in propor
tion to the valuation of the estate.
At present $10 is all that can be collected
by the Clerk if the estate is 5100 or $1,000.
000, or if it stays in court one year or 20,
or if there are 10 Journal entries or 10.000.
Among the changes and bills brought to
tho notice of the delegation were the fol
lowing: Amendment to the present law relating
to the office of County Coroner, by placing
him upon a salary and abolishing the fees
by the county, and also placing the pay
ment of witness fees at Inquests on the
same basis as in other state cases.
A bill to prevent counties from enter
ing Into contracts for any purpose Involv
ing the expenditure of 5250 or more" In any
other way than by public bidding after
due advertising.
A bill providing for the payment of a
jury trial fee In civil actions, and to pro
vide for a waiver of a Jury trlaL It is
proposed that If trial by Jury be desired
bv either party, that a stipulated trial fee
ei-ill be paid: but if not, that they shall
w...vc their right to trial by jury and the
i be tried by the court. By this pro-l-jirr
't Is hoped that all Jury trials can
be ft early !n the term and the jury
over a prairie which has an elevation
of 4000 feet above sea level. The next
company below will irrigate lands about
1000 feet lower, while the third system
takes Its water out of a tributary of the
Deschutes, and has already demonstrated
the success of the scheme.
"The ' Deschutes River runs a large
stream the year around, and there will
bo no trouble over the lack of supply,
even in the driest portion of the year,
as the river Is fed mainly by living
springs. Although the stream flows
through an elevated regjon near its head.
It never freezes over, even In the coldest
"Winters, a little Ice along the bank being
the only Indication of low temperature.
Its peculiarity in uniformity of flow and
temperature has been the cause of a good
deal of comment for many years.
"Considerable land has been taken up
under tho desert land acts In Crook
County, but there are flne opportunities
still for those who wish to obtain title
to good farms at a small cost. Under
the desert land act each citizen is en
titled to 320 acres by paying 25 cents an
acre down and expending 51 an acre in
each of the three following years on pre
paring the land for irrigation. At the
end of that period a final payment of 51
an acre Is made to the Government, and
a patent Is obtained. There Is also much
school land In the district, which may be
bought from the state at 51 25 an acre
by paying a portion down and 6 per cent
interest on the remainder. In this latter
way one can obtain title to the land at
51 25 an acre, and need not bother him
self about Improving it, as the neigh
bors who purchase under the desert land
act must improve their tracts, and thus
add to the value of the school land sec
tions, two of which, 16 and 36, are in
every township.
"The people who are bringing water
on to these deserts are not uneasy about
disposing of the vast amount of produce
which will be grown there, as two lines
of railroad have been surveyed across
the reclaimed region, and one. If not both,
will probably be In operation by the time
irrigation is well under way. The survey
of the Corvallls & Eastern, which crosses
the state from the summit of the Cas
cades, toward Boise, Idaho, passes right
through the middle of the irrigated ter
ritory, in an easterly direction. The
Dalles Southern survey also taps the re
gion from the north, as Its survey fol
lows in a southerly direction up the Des
chutes River to a point 13 miles west or
Prlneville This latter road will prob
ably terminate in a spur of the Blue
Mountains, where the well-known May
flower quartz mine Is in operation, and
where there are large bodies of fine tim
ber. "Crook County bids fair to be trans
formed very materially within a few
years by these vast enterprises, and new
towns are likely to spring up where soli
tude has reigned heretofore. No rail
road has been surveyed into Prlneville
yet, though at one time there was talk
of extending the Columbia Southern from
j Shanlko to the county seat of Crook."
.nr. r-aimer is geiung out a nouaay
number of the Journal in Portland, which
will be largely devoted to the resources
and prospects of his county.

tlon Is being made to welcome the visitors
by giving them a hard contest on the
gridiron. The football players have been
practicing nightly at the riding academy,
under the direction of Captain Pratt and
Coach McMillan. The team will go Into
tho came In rood form, ready to resist
the onslaughts of the college players, who
have the reputation of putting up a fast,
speedy game from start to finish. The
exact line-up of the Multnomah eleven
has not yet been definitely determined.
It is being strengthened In every pos
sible way. and several players of the
dark-horse order are expected to appear
on the field In Multnomah colore.
Tho game Itself promises to be one of
the best of the season. The Stanford
eleven is considered especially strong on
the offense, while Multnomah has its
greatest strength in the brilliant defensive
play. Mulontmah In the last two games
has been shown to be weak in attack, and
this dovetailing of the 6trong and weak
points of the teams should make tho
game a struggle of the most brilliant or
der. In the kicking game, that Is Multno
mah's favorite. Downs Is a source of
great strength. He gets his punts off
under the most adverse circumstances,
with the charging players almost upon
him, and they take a long, high, spiral
flight. The Stanford punter, Parker, Is
at least his eaual, and the spectators to
morrow should see some fine kicking,
spectacular runs in scattered fields, and
good tackling by the ends, both teams
having strong players at the wings.
Gregory, the center for the visitors, Is
considered by California experts the
strongest center on the Coast, He Is a
giant in stature and pnysrque, and holds
the record at Palo Alto as the college
strong man. Otherwise the lines are about
equal. Captain Pratt and Jerry Rusk,
at tackles, are the men who give the
Multnomah line Its stiffness on the de
fense. In quickness and dashing of their
play the visitors should have a slight
advantage, which will be counterbalanced
by the weight and experience of the Mult
nomahs. From the standpoint of the
spectator, however. It will be Interesting
to see a team playing as fast as gray
hounds, and crashing into a sturdy line
of strong, heavy players.
Referees and umpires will be selected
from unprejudiced sources, after confer
ence with Captain Kourse and Captain
Pratt, in all probability from available
members of the Eugene team.
The game will be called at 2:30 P. M.
Football tickets for the covered grand
stand and general admission will be placed
on. sale this morning at Coffman's cigar

A. country hotel. In which a company
of strolling players have found lodging,
and where they came into contact with
people of far different professions, serve
as the theme, and the bell boy always
going and coming, and leaving trouble
for the lodgers and fun for the audience
In his wake, is the principal figure.
John M. "Welch, as the bell boy, does
a piece of character comedy work which
marKs him as a first-class entertainer.
Always In a good humor himself, he keeps
the audience In a better one, and the ac
tion Is far from lagging while he Is mixed
up in it.
Bessie Marlowe, the leading attraction
of the feminine contingent, is graceful
and pretty, and won the hearts of those
across the footlights from her first ap
pearance. L. J. Harvey, as Izzy Blotsky,
did very creditable character work.
It is In the specialties, however, that
the company Is the strongest. The "coon"
songs by the Young sisters were cleverly
given, and the costuming of the turn was
clever and effective. Armstrong and
Cassldy, as the minstrel and prima don
na, sang several new songs, and did a
good dialogue act, L. J. Harvey, who is
the possessor of a good voice, surprised
the audience by using it, and was reward
ed by a number of encores. T6m Morse,
as "Coon Shouter," filled his part ac
ceptably. Taken altogether, "A Bell Boy"
is one of the best attractions of its kind

NEW BUSINESS BLOCKS.
TVIU Soon Be Erected on Corner o
Fifth and Salmon Streets.
The next substantial business block to
be erected In Portland will be a two
story brick building at the southwest
corner of Fifth and Salmon streets by
Edward Holman. Mr. Holman purchased
the lot, 50x100 feet, last week for 59000, and
the building will probably cost 525,000 more.
The lower floor will be entirely devoted
to the undertaking business, and all the
modern appliances will be installed. The
upper floor "will be divided Into two flats
of six rooms each. In the rear of a large
showroom. An elevator run by water
power will occupy a convenient position
in the building.
The site selected for this substantial
structure is an ideal one for the purposes
to which it will be devoted, as It is
close to the business center of the city,
while at the same time free from noise
and bustle. It will be fully as convenient
in regard to the various cemeteries and
the proposed crematorium as Mr. Hol
man's present undertaking parlors, and
as a morgue for the temporary detention
of bodies in Coroner's cases it will be
an Improvement, as crowds are not like
ly to gather in idle curiosity. The only
noise Is that made by the Fifth-street
cars, and this Is comparatively little.
The cars, therefore, Instead of being a
drawback, will be an advantage to those
desiring to visit the new undertaking
parlors from distant portions of the city.
Plans are now being drawn for the new
edifice, and the work of construction will
begin in the early Spring. The building
will front on Fifth street.
Big Meetings at the Marquam Held
by the Association's Famous
Exhorter.
Over 100 young men and 40 boys have
been added to the ranks of the Y. M. C.
A. wltL'n the past three days as a re
sult of the revival meetings conducted by
Fred B. Smith, of Chicago, who is one of
the International secretaries of the or
ganization. The first meeting was held
at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A Friday
evening, and the boys' meeting took place
there Saturday morning. The third meet
ing was held at the Marquam Grand The
ater, yesterday afternoon, and the fourth
last evening at the same place. Both of
these were largely attended and much in
terest was shown.
Mr. Smith is a cheery, forcible speaker,
who depicts the difference between the
life of a Christian and that of the un
converted In plain, every-day language,
which all listen to with rapt attention.
His exhortation last evening was based
upon Daniel's prophecy, wherein "the
people who know God shall be strong."
He showed that the young man who lives
an upright. Christian life is really the
strong man, though tho other might be
physically his superior, and he drew a
vivid pictude of 63,000 young soldiers
marching In Chickamauga Park, at the
opening of the Spanish "War.
"These," said he, "were all splendid
specimens of physical manhood, whom no
Spanish foe could resist. They had been
passed as perfect by the Army Surgeon.
whose keen eye could have detected the
slightest defect In stature, weakness of
vision, or organic trouble. No guns, how
ever well mounted, or fortifications, how
ever well manned, could scare them, and
yet thousands of these perfect specimens
of manhood were swept down by the
vortex of sin. Those brave boys whom
no Spanish could terrify, would show
weakness when a great bottle of whisky
would find its way Into their camps."
Mr. Smith told the ydung men present
that money was not all there was In the
world, though he would not discourage
the making of money. There was, how
ever, too much of the spirit of "get
money honestly If you pan, but get U"
instilled Into boys' minds around the pa
ternal table. He told about two men
who had spent their lives in making
money and had accumulated 57,500,000
eacb, but their sordid natures prevented
them from giving anything to help along
the cause of Christianity. They answer
tho solicitor:
"Not a dollar will we give. Let the
young men go to h 11 If they feel like
It, It's none of our business."
These men were compared to an aged
man of the speaker's acquaintance, who
had spent his life In serving the Lord,
and who had been loyal to the church or
God. This aged man of 67 years was
one of the mighty men of the world, even
though he had not accumulated any of
this world's goods.
Mr. Smith snoke scathingly, though
with good nature, of young men addicted
to whisky, tobacco or cigarettes, and told
them that no hog would use either of
these things unless tied up and forced
to do so. The cigarette fiend, he said,
never becomes a bank president, and is
usually a fellow who spends his father's
money.
If men must smoke, they should not
make opium fiends of themselves by using
cigarettes.
He told of a young man wnose weaim
parents had paid for a thorough educa
tion for him, at Yale and Leipsic, and
how his mother, who doted on him, then
traveled around the world with him as
a finishing touch to the many degrees
he had attained at the colleges, but when
his friends met him at San Francisco,
on his return to this country, they found
he could drink more whisky than any
man of his age In the city.
This young man was bright and studi
ous, but lacked tho strength of Christian
spirit, and so went down in the gutter
In spite of his wealth and social stand
ing. Mr. Smith also paid his respects to
Ingersoll, whom he once paid 75 cents to
hear speak. He imitated the great infl
del's logic and gestures, and asserted that
the arguments of Ingersoll were ridicu
lous. At the close of the meeting last even
ing, many experiences were related by
the members of the organization, and it
was along toward midnight when the
last of the participants left for their
homes. Mr. Smith leaves today for California.
