Fifteen Councllmen would then cost the city $9000 a year.

They Were Found Guilty of Non-At- tendnnce at Drills, and Refused. to Pay Penalties. Warrants for the arrest of 1G members of the Third Regiment and three members of the Naval Reserves, of the Oregon Na tional Guard, fined by Lieutenant-Colonel R. G. Jubltz, as president of the military court, for nonattehdance at company drill, have been placed in the hands of the Sher iff for service. This Is In accordance with the militia act passed at the last session of the Legislature. For the purpose of collecting a fine, personal property may be seized, or the delinquent. In default of payment, may be lodged In the county jail. As the warrants have not yet been served, the names of the delinquents have not been given out for publication hy the Sheriff. The Deputy Sheriff to whom the war rants were delivered for execution, speak ing of the matter yesterday, said: "I have not arrested anybody yet, but I expect I will have to. They kick and say they will see the Captain and square it. One or two said they would go to jail before they would pay it, and some of the offenders, who are boys, not yet of age, don't seeni to understand it.'i The fines generally range from $1 to J2. The warrant Is an elaborate affair, and reciter that Private was summoned to appear before the court, and no suf ficient excuse having been presented, he was adjudged guilty of failure to attend drill, and fined. Having neglected and refused to pay the fine, the warrant is issuea. TVILIi GET FIVE-CENT MILEAGE. County Commissioners Decide to Cut Down "Witness Fees. P Tho Pnnnlv nnTrnnlasfriTiPrn voJtor1ow rto- elded to allow witnesses from outside places serving in Multnomah County only a 5-cent mileage Tae, Instead of 10 cents. There has, been discussion heretofore on this point, and It tvas renewed yesterday, as the result of a letter upon the subject received by the board from County Au ditor Pope, as follows: . i Referring to mileage of witnesses in utato cases, I find those, coming from outside the county contend for a rate of 10 cents per mile, and the Clerk of the Circuit Court has reported mileage outside this county at that rate. "While. I am not disposed to "cross swords" with the court or any officers there of, I am at a loss to discover anything- In our statutes authorizing an allowance of more than 5 cents per mile for "private persons performing service required by law" in Mult nomah County, and I feel that It would be a neglect of duty if I failed to call your atten tion to this matter, which Is one of great and increasing Importance, as well as a never ending theme for contention. X do not think that this Question of rates of mileage in state cases has ever been set tled in the courts, Jiut it would bo entirely proper that It should be, allowing some repre sentative of the county's interest to be heard in Its behalf. The law very plainly, to my mind, forbids the payment of witnesses serving In Multno mah County more than 5 cents per mile, and I should like to be Informed If by -eny con struction of law they should receive more. The Commissioners talked over the mat ter for some little time, and finally deter mined that the views of the Auditor were correct, and so decided the matter. If the parties holding the claims are not satis fied, they can appeal to the State Circuit Court. NO BAR TO ACTION IN OREGON. Fact Tlint Same Suit Is Pending In Another State. The pendency of an action in a court in another state is not a bar to an action of and vex the defendant. He asked for i dismissal of the case here, and began to argue the question, when Judge Frazer interrupted by saying that he had had a like experience when he was engaged In practicing law. He looked the matter up and found the weight of authorities was against him, and that It was of no use to argue the question further. It might work a hardship, but there was nothing to prevent it. Mr. Schnabel answered that If the law. admitted of such proceedings a man could sue another on a promissory note In half a dozen different places; If there was no law to prevent It, there should be. The court agreed with him, but held that the motion must be overruled. The complaint of Mrs. Schwartz and her sister sets up the. claim that their father has left Vancouver, where he formerly resided, and has come to Portland to re side. This Gebhardt denies, and says they are not entitled to the money until both reach the age of 21 years, which time has not yet arrived. In the meantime 'the bulk of the money is in a German bank. NOTIFIED TO MOVE OUT. Abstractors Must Take Their Prop erty From Recorder's Office.' Judge Cake states that he notified the Title Guarantee & Trust Comnany and O". M. Smith, abstractor, to remove their property irom tne office of the Recorder of Conveyances. The Title Guarantee & Trust Company was ordered to take out Its tables, typewriter, private telephone and lights Immediately. About a week ago the County Court dis cussed this matter with representatives of the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, Mr. Smith and others. Mr. Seabrook, at torney for the company, explained that the company put In Its own lights because the part of the room where its clerks work is dark at times, and others also had the benefit of them, while the com pany stood the expense. The private tele phone, It was stated, was put In to save the Recorder from annoyance which would result If the public phone was used. Judge Cake takes the position that no one should have special privileges in the Recorder's office, and that everything in it should belong to the county. Smith and the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, according to his view, can use the public tables In the office on the same terms as others. state. Judge Frazer so held yesterday in refusing to dismiss the suit of Louisa Schwartz and Anna Gebhardt against their fatheT, Martin Gebhardt, and their stepmother, to recover $1725. The plaintiffs assert that their lather received this amount of money for them f r6m Germany, as an inheritance, he being their guardian, and that he has neglected to turn It over tp them. On Information and belief it Is charged that he Invested $1100 of It for his benefit In lots and a house In Lochlnvar addition. Charles J. Schnabel, appearing as coun sel for Gebhardt, filed an affidavit that an action of the eame kind Is pending In Clark County, Washington, and that the only purpose of these suits Is to harass Selling Whisky to Indians. The number of persons who sell whisky to Indians has become so large of late that there has been complaint from sev eral sections in regard to the matter, and the United States Court has been dealing" with the offenders. Complaints have been received from Pendleton, The Dalles, Hood River, Klamath, and other places, and during Juy, August and Sep tember a dozen or more offenders have been arrested and when arraigned they pleaded guilty. The cases of six more were set for trial in the United States Court yesterday, including a saloonkeeper at Fort Klamath, a stage driver on the Klamath agency, and two tramps. , In the United States Court yesterday, the cases of six persons charged with furnishing liquor to Indians were set down for trial by Judge Bellinger, as follows: November 25 United States vs. George Scott, of Tbledo; United States vs. H. H. Wade, of North Yamhill. November 25 United States vs. David Smith, stage driver on. the Klamath In dian .agency. Smith Is a Grand Ronde Indian who was formerly a pupil at the Indian school at Chemawa, but was ex pelled for some reason. - He has been driving- a stage on the Klamath agency for some time, and It Is said that he has peddled whisky to Indians all along his route. United States vs. Jack Herbln. Herbin is a saloonkeeper at Fort Klam ath. November 27 United States vs. Fred Pico, of The Dalles. The court made an order for witnesses .to be summoned at the expense of the-Unlted States. United States vs. John Miller, of Hood River. Wants BnekrHlx Children. John Tacle anneared in the Countv the same kind in the Circuit Court of this I Court yesterday and asked that he be given possession of his three children, who were turned ever to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. Yagle was an Inmate of the Insane Asylum In Salem for sev eral years, and according to .his state ment In court his wife was also commit ted to the asylum and died there. Three of the children, of whom there were eight, were given into the custody of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. In 1S97 Yagle was before the court on a similar mission and his request was denied. He did not seem to have a clear idea of how many children the society had or where the rest o$ his family are living. He said he Is working in California and can provide a home for his offspring.

Demand Reuchlngr Oat From Eastern Market for "Oregon Pine" and Larch In Doors and Sash. When the local door manufacturers were approached last Winter with the request to make up a display for the Pan-American Exposition, they were decidedly in different, and two or three of them are said to have refused to do anything. Two Portland factories, however, finally under took to make a display, and tliey have just received an award of a bronze medai, which Is the highest premium on that class of exhibits. This matter was mentioned last evening to a local manufcaturer of sash and doors, and he said that the Buffalo exhibit had been a great thing for the sash and door Industry of the Northwest.

He was pinned down until relieved by fellow workmen. Three ribs were broken and se vere internal Injuries sustained. He has been brought to hi3 home here. New Oregon Postmaster. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-T. M. Larsen was today appointed postmaster at Suver, vice C. E. McLane,. resigned. celved by the local mlllmen from the large jobbing houses In the East, asking for Information with regard to doors and sashes, and as a matter of fact several largo New England orders have already been'booked. Quotations made to Cleve land and St. Louis have been heard from and are "known to be satisfactory, and, without doubt, Portland will ship a great many carloads of doors East the coming Winter and Spring. This will be a great thing for the Portland manufacturers, for It Vlll remove from the local trade the surplus stock, which has always been more or less of a disturbing factor In prices. Owing to the ability of the Portland factories to turn out a great many more stock sizes of doors and windows than the trade of the Northwest required, they have each year been, in a measure at the mercy of the large jobbing houses of thi3 city and Puget Sound. Heretofore, Job bers have been able to make their own prices on stock doors, but this demand for Oregon-goods In the East has entirely changed the situation and so strengthened the demand that the markets are now easily within the control of the manu facturers. The matter of Introduction of cedar doors In the East has received more or less attention for a number of years, but a great prejudice has existed against the cedar because of the opposition of tho Eastern manufacturers, who were not willing to buy cedar lumber from the Pa cific Coast, with which to manufacture odds and ends that are always require J in furnishing mill work. "White pine Is becoming more expensive, and the East ern people are of necessity forced to look this way for a large part of their supply. The Portland manufacturers hav'e been experimenting with Oregon pine (Douglas fir), and these doors are said by those In the business to be destined to secure to the Coast a very satisfactory trade. By a system recently adopted of thoroughly steaming the lumber before dry-kllnlng, it has been found possible to overcome the pitch, which has always been objec tionable. The one handicap In the Intro duction of Oregon pln,e will be the extra shipping weight, which Is very much greater than cedar and considerably greater than pine. The door when once properly manufactured is very nearly the equal of hard wood, and is being specified by the best architects for the finest builJ lngs. This was considered an entirely Im practicable thing, even a few years ago, but the necessity of finding some other wood to take the place of our cedar, which Is being rapidly used up for doors and sash and interior finishing, and especially for the- manufacture of shingles, has led to the necessity of experimenting with the Oregon pine. For several years Portland manufactur ers have been turning out a considerable quantity of larch doors and sash, and these are becoming more popular in the East. The larch Is a light-colored wood, and weighs very little more than cedar, and Is for that reason more easily Intro duced In the East than either the cedar or the Oregon pine. The supply of larch Is limited, and the development of this line of trade Is necessarily less substantial than that of either ce dar or Oregon pine. This growing Indus try of Portland Is to be congratulated upon the enterprise of those factories wha went to the trouble of making the Buffalo exhibit, for that has certainly proved a great thing for the general interest of the trade here.
