Closes 30th Convention.
DELEGATES WILL LEAVE TODAY
W. 31. Colvls, of Jacksonville, la
Honored by Appointment on Com
mittee of LaTva Questions of .
Lodge Poller Settled. .
The Supreme Lodge, A. O. U. XV., closed
its 20th annual session last evening:, ana
this morning the representatives will
leave for their homes. Perfect harmony
has prevailed throughout the session, tne
only hindrance to the work being the
constant effort of the Oregon Workmen
to entertain their visitors. The universal
declaration has been that never before
lias the Supreme Lodge enjoyed such gen
eroufc hospitality as it has met in Oregon,
and all the delegates will return to their
homes feeling grateful for many acts of
Mndncss from their Oregon brothers and
elsters.
The Oregon representatives asked noth
ing for Oregon in the way of a Supreme
!Lodge office, nor would they have con
sented to the election of one of their
number to any office. In the distribution,
of committee appointments, however, Ore
gon gets a place on the most important
committee, that of laws. XV. M. Colvlg,
of Jacksonville, grand past master of
"Oregon, was made a member of the com
mittee. Thecommittees are as follows:
New A. O. U. IV. Committees.
Finance committee TV. "W. "Wilson, of
Michigan; H. B. Dickinson, New York;
S. S. Faulkner, Arkansas.
' Law committee "VV. S. Robson, Texas;
XV. 3L Colvlg, Oregon; XV. M. Wallace,
Kansas.
Appeals committee E. M. .Danfortb,
Maine: S. S. Blitz, Kentucky; K. XV. Lath
Ian, Nebraska.
D. of H. advisory committee XV. JA.

souri; H. E. McNutt, South Dakota.
Vital statistics A. P. Riddle, Kansas.
Board of arbitration J. E. Riggs, Kan
sas; J. G. Tate. Colorado; H. C. Sessions,

Iowa; J. M. Dement, Minnesota; F. C.
Ingall, Massachusetts; J. C Hamm, Wy
oming; Alfred Orendorf, Illinois; John
Stevens, Manitoba; T. D. Neal, Indiana,
Spaniards Eligible to Membership.
The Supreme Lodge made numerous de
cisions upon points pf lodge laws yester
day. The question was raised whether a
Spaniard is a white man within the mean
ing of the regulations, and It was held
that he is. In Arizona and New Mexico
the question was raised whether a Mexi
can Is a white man. The decision was
that the Mexicans of Spanish descent aro
white, but that the Mexicans of Indian
blood are not.
In Missouri a man was suspended for
delinquency, and thereafter paid the
amount of his delinquency tp a friend to
be paid to the proper officer. Before the
payment was made, he died, not having
been reinstated. Suit for insurance was
brought, and the attorney for the lodge
having stipulated that the lodge would
have reinstated the man if his money had
been received, the court compelled the
lodge to pay. The Supreme Lodge refused
reimbursement on the ground tfiat the
reinstatement had not been made, and
that the stipulation should not have been
signed by the attorney.
An effort was made to unite Vermont
with the Quebec jurisdiction, but Instead
Vermont and New Hampshire were joined.
The District of Columbia was left a part
of the Maryland jurisdiction, though
strong effort was made to transfer It to
Delaware.
The installation of officers was one of
the last of the Supreme Lodge proceed
ings. W. W. Walker, of Chicago, who organ
ized the Supreme Lodge 30 years ago
and was its first supreme master, in
stalled the new officers, with the assist
ance of Past Supreme Masters XV. (i.
Morris, of Illinois, and J. E. Riggs, of
Kansas.
Immediately after the Installation, Rep
resentative W. M. Colvlg, of Oregon, se
cured the floor, and made a humorous
Bpe-ech In which he said that virile Kansas
had produced her Jerry Simpson, Fred
Funston, Carrie Nation and Webb lie
CCall. As an appropriate gift, he asked
leave to present to the new supreme mas
ter a gavel in the shape of a hatchet, by
means of which Supreme Master MoNair
can not only rap for order, but punish
offenders by severing their heads from
their bodies.
Assuring the members of the Supreme
Lodge that he believed this an instrument
which should be burled, rather than-used,
toe promised not to make It other than a
memento of the kind treatment he and
ills associates had received in Oregon.
Delegates Will Visit Seattle.
A special train of six cars will leave
for Tacoma and Seattle at 7:30 o'clock
this morning, carrying the greater part
of the representatives. A short stop will
be made at Tacoma, and the evening will
toe spent at Seattle, where 300 new mem
bers will be initiated by the local lodges.
At 11 P. M. tonight the special will leave
for the East, making a five-day stop at
Yellowstone Park. The special will go to.
Chicago, where the party will break up
and all will go to their homes.
A party of A. O. U. W. representatives,
including Supreme Master Webb McNall
and wife. Supreme Medical Examiner D.
H. Shields, XV. S. Robson of Texas, John

annual session of the A. O. U. XV. Grand
Lodge.
LOSSES BY LABOR STRIKES
Record in Minnesota as Compiled ly
Stnte Inspector. .
St. Paul Dispatch.
Inspector Julius Moersch, of the State
Labor Department, has compiled statistics
showing the number of labor strikes in.
Minnesota during the 20 years from 1SS1
to 1900 Inclusive, the number of people
involved, the loss to employers and strik
ers, and the contributions to strikers by
other organizations.
The reports show that worklngmen in
this state have lost 33 per cent of their
fights, and the wage loses have been, very
heavy, while the assistance received from
other labor organizations has been insig
nificant In comparison. While the aver
age loss to the Individual striker has been
$22 20, the assistance received has been
but 40 cents per capita. During the 20
years there were 3S3 strikes In Minnesota,
involving 1G33 establishments and 09,110
employes. There were 25 lockouts, involv
ing 94 establishments and 2952 employes.
The wage losses-of employes amounted to
$1532,280, and the losses of employers
amounted to $1,633,870, The employes re
ceived assistance from other labor organ
izations to the amount of $71,927.
In addition to the temporary loss of
nay, 21-2 per cent of the strikers, or more
than one man in .five, were replaced by
others when the strike was settled. In
many cases, however", this was due to the
fact that strikers had found other em
ployment. Minneapolis supplies 30 per cent of all
the strikes, or. 214, Involving 16.996 em
ployes of G96 establishments. The wage
loss was $30S,627, and the. assistance re
ceived from other' 'labor organizations
amounted to $31,707. The loss to employ
ers was $331,795.
Minneapolis and St. Paul had exactly
the same number of Jpckouts, 11 each. In
Minneapolis 31 establishments and 1767
employes were involved, and the wage
loss was $29,956, and the loss to employers
$26,100. Assistance rendered strikers
amounted to $292L
In St. Paul 5G establishments employ
ing 10S1 people were Involved. The wage
loss was $30,855:. assistance received, $5315.
Employers lost $46,250.
The building trades supplied the largest
number of strikes, 16.4 per cent, and
transportation lines camenext, with 13.1
per cent.
INDIAN PILGRIMS HERE.
They Come From Grand Rondc Res
ervation to Sell Baskets.
The Indians are now holding their an-
HONORED WITH PLACE ON LAWS COMMITTEE,
SUPREME LODGE, A. O. U. W.
TV. M. COLVIG,
oc
nual encampment in Portland, and they
may be seen on the streets during the
day. selling the baskets and Indian trink
ets they have made during the Winter
months. Their camp is in a fir crove tit
the west end of Raleigh street. Here
most . of their sock is kept, and many
who are interested In the purchasing of
their wares visit this camp with a view
to getting their chojee of the whole
stock. The Indians are 'not particular
how they dispose of their goods so long
s they get something of value for them.
"I will have to lock up all of my old
clothes," said a man yesterday, whose
family had taken to the notion of gath
ering Indian relics, "or my wife will soon
have them all traded to the Indians."
The camp will be occupied for several
weeks, but each band will only remain
until they have sold" their stock. The
Indians are from the Grand ilonde -Indian
reservation in Polk and Yamhill
Count'es. Most of them have farms
which they work on during the Summer.
In the Winter they occupy their time by
making baskets of the hazelbrush which
grows there in abundance, and also in
making various trinkets which they think
will find a market among the city people.
Each Summer a trip Is made to the city,
and their Winter's- work sold or bartered
off. Their camp is always in the same
grove. There are seldom more than five
or six families camped here at one time,
"but as one leaves another comes, and
most of the Indians of the reservation
make the trip during Summer. Their bas
kets sell all the way from 25 cents to $2.
and some of their trinkets reach a higher
value than this. An old Indian, who says
he was a chief of the famous Calapooia
tribe, was asked how much he thought
the Indians made m this way each year.
"Ugh! v Can't tell," he replied. "Heap
lot baskets. Maybe $1000, maybe more."
Lazy and contented, the Indians sit
around their tents and whittle or play
with their dogs. A visitor is welcomed,
and If he does not want to buy he Is soon
engaged in conversation concerning the
corruption among the Indian agents and
those having in charge the management
of the Indian reservations. There are
also In the camp white men who have
married Indian wives. They seem of the
same lazy, contented sort as the Indians
themselves, and sit around with them and
talk the Indian jargon. Some of their
children are very pretty. A little girl,
apparently about C years old. is at the
camp now, who could well, be termed a
beautiful child. A visitor was attracted
yesterday by her appearance and attempt
ed to make friends with her. She was
very shy, however, and would retreat be
hind her mother as soon as she realized
that any attention was heing paid her.
The visitor -was .persistent and finally
reached int his "pocket and drew forth
a piece of money. She had already
learned to know the value of this, and
had probably been taught that such offers
were not to be refused. Her mother said
something in jargon and the little girl
advanced boldly, took the money, and
again retreated to her mother's skirts in
great haste. Most of the children talk
both English and Indian and understand
both .equally well.

MR. CORBETT'S PAPER.
Read Before Washington Rankers
Association.
At the recent session of the Washing
ton State Bankers' Association in Seattle,
a paper by Hon. H. XV. Corbett, of Port
land, was read. The Post-Intelligencer
says of It:
"His address on the subject of 'Past,
Present and Future Securities, Forming
a Safe Basis for Banking,' was listened
to with rapt attention by the bankers,
all of whom knew the speaker by repu
tation, as Mr. Corbett occupies a high
position In the financial world, and is rec
ognized as an authority by reason of his
long experience." Mr. Corbett said:
"The formulation of the American Na
tional banking system -was largely a prod
uct or the successors of the New York
banking system, previous to the war,
wherein that system provided for circu
lating medium based on the United States
or state bonds and provided thereby for
the circulation that was Issued under the
old safety fund system. At the close of
President Buchanan's Administration the
credit of the United States had become so
depressed and low that that Administra
tion was obliged to pay 12 per cent per
annum for Its loans negotiated Just be
for the Inauguration of President Lin
coln. This was the condition of affairs
when President Lincoln's Administration
entered upon its duties, and it became
necessary to provide ways and means for
carrying on the Civil War and to preserve
the Union. The Government resorted to
the means at that time, of issuing its
obligations bearing 7.3 per cent interest
and fundable into United States 5-20
bonds, redeemable after five and payable
at the end of 20 years, these honds bear
ing 6 per cent per annum, the Interest
payable In coin and customs revenues
were set apart for the payment of inter
est on the same. It became necessary
therefore to take steps for the Inaugura
tion of the United States banking system,
whereby all the capital of the country
could be concentrated for the support of
the Government.
"To put into practical force this idea,
the National banking system was inaug
urated, whereby It provided that National
banks organized under this system, by de
positing United States bonds, could Issue
upon said bonds 00 per cent of the par
value of said bonds, and the banks were
required to keep a reserve of from 15 to
25 per cent, according to their respective
localities, as a precaution, and to in
augurate a conservative mode of bank
ing, In order to consolidate all the bank
ing Interests of the several states. In
cluding New York, a 10 per cent tax was
levied on bank circulation, under the re
spective state laws, thereby forcing or
compelling all banks of Issue to organ
ize under the National banking act, and
practically preventing the further Issue
of circulating currency under former state
banking laws, and compelling, under
penalty of paying the 10 per cent, each
bank to organize under the National
banking act oc. forego the issue of cur
rency upon their eecurities.
under a wise and enlightened admin
istration the debt was funded from time
to time from 7.3 per cent to 6, to 5, to A.
to 3, and finally it has reached the low
rate of 2 per cent, and the securities even
at this low rate of Interest have risen
to a premium of from 8 to 9. per cent.
The Government has also by its steady
persistence increased the value of cur
rency. In gold, which at one time was
as low as 35 cents on the dollar, and hag
now advanced to 100 per cent, and every
dollar of currency Is at par with gold.
"There has been some little sentiment
against the National banks, for what rea
son I know not. except that they have
been prosperous. They have as h rule
succeeded in paying- all their obligations,
and especially their currency issued un
der the acts and secured by United States
bonds. It would seem that this prejudice
Is wholly unwarranted from the circum
stances connected with their origin, and
the great aid they gave to the
Government In Its times of trial and dis
tress. The organization of these National
banks created demand for the bonds of-
tne Government and by the purchase, of
the same it furnished funds for carrying
on the war and the final triumph of the
Army of the Union, and the establishment
once more of a united people.
"The scarcity of United States secur
ities and the ultimate payment of the
,same, will probably require a departure
from the present system, and other se
curities will probably have to be substi
tuted for United States bonds. The ques
tion will arise as to what class of bonds
or securities should be substituted for
those of the United States. In my Judg-
ment, there Is no better class of securities
that are better adapted for this purpose
than flrst-clars railroad bonds, where the
roads of such bonds aro paying dividends
on the stock. In order that there should
be a proper selection and discrimination
In selecting the very best class of secur
ities of this character, an appraiser con
nected with the Controller of. the Currency
should be appointed, to decide on what
class of these securities might be de
posited. None, however, should be ac
cepted that are not worth from 5 to 10
per cent premium over and above the
par value, and upon such securities tho
Government could safely issue 90 per cent
in currency, thereby providing for a se
cure class of securities that would take
the place of those of the United Statea
as they are redeemed front time to time.

premium that the National banks are
obliged to pay for the same, and with
the necessary provision of 5 per cent to
be kept In Washington for the redemption
of the currency and the additional tax of
Vt per cent per annum, leaves but a very
small margin for the new banking insti
tutions that are necessarily organized in
the various localities.
"Such railroad securities based upon 4

that could be selected for such purpose.

SUMMER OUTINGS.
People Rnnhinpr From the Business
Houses to the Ocenn.
The past week has been such as to re
mind the citizens of Portland that the
Summer season is at hand, and the busi
ness man is making preparations for him
eelf and family to spend from a day to a
month down at the beach, where they can
watch the broad Pacific and spend leisure
moments in digging- clams, bathing and
enjoying themselves while their complex
ion is getting a beautiful and healthful
tan.
But the business man and his family
are not the only ones from Portland who
make these annual visits to the coast.
Next Sunday the Knights and Ladles ot
Security will run an excursion train to
Seaside and return. The train will be
run in two sections, and will be composed
of 23 cars, 00 that all are Insured of abun
dant accommodations. The train leaves
the Union depot at 7:30 In the morning,
and returning, leaves Seaside at 5 In the
evening. As the excursion season closes
with this month, there will he a large
number of people who will take advan
tage of the rates which will prevail on
this trip.

COFFEE SENSE
To Drinlc, or Xot to Drink, the Ques
tion. A prominent St. Paul woman comments
on coffee as follows:
"While I was drinking coffee I was
troubled "with sleeplessness and palpita
tion of the heart. I began to feel suspi
cious of coffee poison aiui hiving no de
sire to drug- myself, realized how Incon
sistent It was for me to continue the use
of anything that helped to break me
down, se I quit coffee and began using
Postum Coffee.
"Now I sleep well, and consequently
feel refreshed, and am much strength
ened. Palpitation of the heart has ceased
and altogether life seems worth living.
"Some of our family like a little coffee
mixed in with the Postum: that, of course,
is much healthier than the old-fashioned
coffee alone."
It is true that very strong coffee 'of" the
best flavor has a little more fascinating
taste to some palates than pure Postum.
On the other hand, there are thousands
of people that prefer the flavor of Postum,
pure and simple. If coffee agrees per
fectly, and people are not 111 in any way,
there seems no good reason why coffee
should be discontinued unless there is a
fear of diseise finally setting up from
the continued use of a drug. On the other
hand, If any member of a family is ailing
In stomach, bowels, kidneys, eyes, or t!e
nervous system, such a one should Imme
diately quit ordinary coffee and take
Postum Food Coffee. A sure result can
be depended upon and a gradual feeling of
health and strength will come from the
change. Health, of course, is worth al
most everything on earth.
Some people are so constituted that it
Is hard for them to give up a habit even
If good health is the reward, but it Is
perfectly easy to leave off coffee when one
can have a well-boiled cup of Postum In
I Its place.
