COMMISSION COMPLETES LABOR
Policemen Will Be Examined First,
anil. Other Departments Later
It c Epilation Go Into Effect
on 3Iarch 25.
After three weeks of delvlne through
civil service rule3 of other cities, and of
the United States: alter hours of discus
sion, thought and study, the Civil Service
Commission of the City of Portland has,
complied a classification of the various
employes of the city, as well as general
rules to guide the commission, which was
adopted by that body- Saturday and will
go into effect Wednesday, March 25.
Until then, city employes may rest con
tented: after that, the deluge, that is if
come of the men who are now drawing
down their pay are found unqualified for
the positions they are holding. From pres
ent plaas, the commission will not be
ready to examine applicants and present
appointees until after the first of April,
and the police officers will be the first to
run the gauntlet, which will in all proba
bility be made up of the three"R's,"as well
as practical work outside of the covers of
books.
Because of the fact that Chief of Po
lice Hunt wishes to inaugurate military
discipline among the various members of
his force and as It is considered best that
lie should know the men who will be al
lowed to wear the blue uniforms perma
nently, the Civil Service Commission has
settled upon Division A, or the police
service, as the section upon which to first
try their examination questions. This
will be no small task in itself, and while
it cannot be determined how much time it
will take, it is believed that it will be
several months before the commissioners
will have had an opportunity to go
through the list, and the laborers well
down tho list in Division I, can be thank
ful. Immediately following tho examination
questions hurled at the police, the fire
men will have their round at the inquisi
torial body and so on down the list, until
every man employed by the city, not
elected or otherwise especially provided
for, has been examined and found quali
fied to do the work. The examinations will
not be alone for those who already have
positions, but for others who want to
work for the great municipality of Port
land and those who rank high will be
given places well up the eligible list, to
fill tho first vacancies that may come in
their particular class of work.
Soon after the close of the Legislature,
a delay occasioned by the fact that C. "W.
Hodson, a member of the Civil Service
Commission, was a member of the House
of Representatives, the three commission
ers, A. A. Courteney, P. L. Willis and C.
W. Hodson, held their first meeting and
since then, until the present time, have
been in session every day with this excep
tion which shows that their task has
been no easy one to perform.
They first secured copies of civil service
rules of the large cities of the country and
also of the Government, and carefully
went over these, culling out the portions
that they thought would work well In the
City of Portland, and finally arranging
them together.
The charter, which provides for this
commission, states that notice must be
given ten days before the rules go into
effect, by publication in the daily news
papers, ao that all intending applicants
will be notified. By having the rules go
into effect March IS. the commission will
have all necessary time to arrange minor
details and give the required notice.
It is their intention, as soon as possi
ble, after tho rules are In effect, to com
mence the examinations, and as has been
stated, they will commence with -the Po
lice Department. Not only patrolmen, but
every man and woman, for there Is a
matron, under the Chief of Police, who is
himself exempt, must go before the board
and take their examinations, If they wish
to continue in the eervlce, and other ap
plicants for police beats, a detective's
billet or a captain's desk, must likewise
appear.
"What will these examinations for the
police consist of?" was asked of Commis
sioner Hodson.
"It is hard to say just at the present
time," was the answer. "There will be
somo educational requirements, but as far
as possible, the examination will be along
practical lines, as we want practical work
done. Experience will also count for
something.
"Tho longer we have worked on this
matter, the bigger we find the job to be,
and there will bo found necessary soma
changes before we are through. There has
been, and will be in the future, much
clerical work connected with the commission-
The reason we will commence
with the police service Is that the chief
wishes to start military discipline ana
naturally wants to know who his men will
he. The various departments of the city
have been classified and there will be dif
ferent examinations for each division.
Thero will also be special rules for each
division and each classification of each
division, which we have not decided iupon
as you x
"The commission proposes to live up
to these rules to the fullest extent, and. In
billing vacancies, those who are highest on
tho eligible list will be given the pref
erence. It is hoped to have matters run
ning smoothly in as short a time as pos
sible." First comwj the classification of the
various city departments, there being nine
of thom, divided into lettered divisions,
commencing with the police and conclud
ing with the laborers. There are 42 of
the rules, which commence by giving the
qualifications of the applicants, as re
gards age. height and weight and char
acter, and continuing to outline the man
ner in which the examinations are to be
hld.
The employes are grouped in division?
and also divided into classes as follows:
Division A. police service Captains,
grade A; captains, grade B; detectives,
jailor, patrolmen, matron, harbormaster,
doputy harbormSiStera. special policemen.
Division B, fire service Chief engineer,
assistant chief, first battalion chier, sec-"
ond battalion chief, permanent foreman,

master, deputy poundmastcrs, park super
intendent, animal tender, blacksmith.
Division H. street cleaning service
Superintendent, foreman, repairmen,
hostlers.
t Division I, labor service Gardeners, four
grades; teamsters, watchmen.
The qualifications for applicants consti
tute the first clause under the general
rules prepared and adopted, and it reads
as follows:
"Applicants must be citizens of the
United States, at least 21 years of age,
actual residents of Portland, and must
have so resided for at least one year next
preceding the date of examination. Except
that applicants for positions as steno
graphic clerks need not be more than 17
years of age, and applicants for positions
as messengers need not be more than 15
years of age at the date of examination.
"Applicants for positions in the police
service will not be accepted," whose meas
urements, stripped, do not come up to the
following standards:
Minimum Maximum Minimum
Height, weight. weight. chest.
Feet. Pounds. Pounds. Inches.
5-9 . 150 ISO 35

5- 11 1C0 1S5

C-2 175 215 40
6-3 ISO 220 41
6- 4 180 225 42
Consequently any persons who desire to
hold down beats in the city can measure
themselves and If they are a pound too
light or a pound too' heavy take steps ac
cordingly. For firemen, requirements are along the
same ecale, although the height com
mences with 5 feet 6 inches and a mini
mum weight of 135 pounds, and thereafter
runs along in the same ratio.
Rule 2 requires ,that every applicant
must be of good moral character, honest
and of temperate and Industrious habits,
the same to be determined as the commis
sion may decide. Each applicant is to be
allowed to furnish recommendations re
garding the qualifications just mentioned,
made by not more than three citizens re
siding In Portland, none of whom shall
be related to the applicant.
These applications are to be made ten
days or-rnore before the examination and
upon blanks furnished, the statements to
be sworn to, and t the commission
further guards these statements by
declaring: "False statements know
ingly made or permitted by any
-erson In an application, declara
tion or certificate shall be good cause for
the exclusion of such person from any
examination and for his removal or dis
charge from the public service."
Each applicant Is to be notified of the
time and place of the examination by
mail, and the applicant will be admitted
only on presentation of his notice
In order to do away with any Idea of
partiality, it Is provided by rule 8 that
each competitor must write his name and
address upon the Identification sheet,
which will be attached to his examination
papers, and the identification sheet shall
then be folded so as to conceal the name
and address. After all examination pa
pers shall have been handed in. the Iden
tification sheet and the examination pa
per shall be marked with the same num
ber. The Identification sheets will then
be detached and placed in a package
sealed by one of the examiners, and such
package shall not be opened until one of
the questions are answered.
The rule in regard to examinations
reads as follows: "Examinations shall be
practical in their character and shall re
late to those matters only which will
fairly test the relative capacity of the
persons examined to discharge the duties
of the position to which they seek to be
appointed."
Necessary regulations are laid down as
to the penalty for cheating, which is dis
missal, the limit of time and the manner
of preparing the questions, It being par
ticularly stated that no question pertain
ing to religious or political opinions or
affiliations will be allowed.
Applicants who are taken sick during
the course of an examination will be per
mitted to withdraw without prejudice,
but where applicants otherwise withdraw
they shall be considered to -have failed,
and applicants who fall shall not be el
igible to examination In the same class
for six months.
The rules also state that applicants
may be enrolled on two eligible lists at
the same time, and that those whose gen
eral average Is less than 75 per cent shall
be excluded from the eligible list of can
didates. The grading is the same as In
schools, on a scale of 100, the percentage
to be secured by taking all matters Into
consideration
Successful candidates are to be enrolled
on the register of eliglblcs in their order
of general average, and they are then
drawn upon where vacancies are to be
filled. An eligible may, when his name
ih reached for appointment, waive the po
sition, upon giving satisfactory reasons,
without losing his place.
Among other Important rules, given
briefly, are the following:
Each appointment shall be made on pro
bation for a period of six months.
Temporary appointees shall be laid off
In the Inverse order of their rank, and
thej- resume their places on the eligible
list.
When an applicant is notified of an ap
pointment and does not respond within
two days, a further notice is given, and
if within three days more he falls to re
spond, he shall be placed at the foot of
the list.
No employe Is to be removed unless
written charges are filed, and these
charges must be answered by the em
ploye, under penalty of expulsion.
Any person filling a position on the
classified list or applying for an appoint
ment who shall be guilty of offering or
accepting money in the shape of a bribe
or compensation, or who- is negligent In
his duties, shall be discharged.
These rules may be changed at any
meeting by a full vote of the commission
and by a majority vote at any meeting
after due notice of the proposed change
has been announced.

SPOKE OFTHE NORTHWEST
MRS. J. B. MONTGOMERY'S ADDRESS
IX WASHINGTON, D. C.
Portland Woman Responds to "Wel
coming; Speech. " at Congress of
Daughters .of the Revolution.
Mrs. J. B. Montgomery, of Portland, re
sponded to the address of welcome of the
President-General at the Twelfth Conti
nental Congress of the National Society
of the Daughters of the American Revolu-
Vint J In Wetilm.fnn It C
Mrs. Montgomery referred to the Impor-
chase Exposition and the Lw5s and Clark
Fair. Her address follows:
Madame President and Daughters of
the 'American Revolution: I wish,
M .V. .Via elAcnite
jsembled today and of the whole society.
to return inanxs to our x-resiaeni-vjc-nerai
for her beautiful address. More especially
do I wish to return thanks for the words
of encouragement extended to the weak
and distant chapters of this patriotic so
ciety. I have the honor of representing the
Northwest. It may not be out of place
here to say that this great Northwestern
territory of Oregon and Washington came
into the sisterhood of states, not alone
by purchase, but a!ao by discovery. We
daughters well know how the original 13
states were acquired, but when the Revo
lutionary warcry burst over the heads of
our forefathers and foremothers the
mighty land where rolls the Oregon terri
tory was almost an undiscovered country.
She is too young to have a revolutionary
history; but the spirit of Revolutionary
timco descended upon her early settlers
and carried them across the continent and
over the seas to that beautiful land; and
the intense patriotism which inspired them
and their children with the spirit of '76,
today Inspires their descendants with the
determination to make the 100th anniversa
ry of the Lewis and Clark expedition the
occasion of a National jubilee.
France. In the year 1S03. sold to the
United States, as Is well known, all her
possesions In America, and we men and
women throughout the length and breadth
of this great continent are preparing to
celebrate that purchase consummated
by Virginia's distinguished son. Thomas
Jefferson, and to commemorate the event
at St. Louis, by tho most magnificent ex
position the world has ever known.
Soon after the achievements of our Revo
lutionary fathers, it became evident that
the spirit which had fought and suffered
for seven years could not be confined to
tho limits of 13 states. Thomas Jefferson
realized the Importance of owning the
Mississippi River from Its source to Its
mouth, and began negotiations with
France with this alone in view; but France
said that she would give him all her pos
sessions In America for the sum of $15.
00.000. and in 1S04 this distinguished son of
Virginia, with the vision of a prophet,
consummated the Louisiana Purchase, out
of which we have made no les3 than 14
states and two territories.
The approach of the centennial of the
Louisiana JPurehasft l nK;orhinir ii.
.thoughts and attention not alone of the
aaugmers or .Missouri, but the daughters
of every chapter in the United States. May
I not remind you that it la not only a
pleasure but the duty of every daughter
to add her efforts and influence to make
this exposition a great success.
Mr. Jefferson was Ignorant of this
Northwestern country, and even Daniel
Webster objected to the acquisition of
what now makes Oregon. Idaho, Wash
ington and Wyoming. He declared that
he was opposed to its ever becoming a
part of the Union, as Its Congressional
delegates would be six months in traveling
from their homes to the National capi
tal, and six months" in returning, and
therefore would have no time to serve
their constituents in Washington. What
would have been the amazement of these
men if they could have looked into the
future and seen four, nay, six railways
reaching out over these dreary plains
and across the Rocky Mountains, and
never stopping until they reached the
Western ocean? John P. Gaines, the sec
ond territorial Governor of Oregon, ap
pointed by President Tyler, came to New
York City to take passage for the state
he was to govern and it did take him s:x
months from New York to the mouth of
the Columbia River. Pullman cars now
go over this journey in four and a half
days.
As I have said, we have no Revolu
tionary anniversaries to celebrate on the
Pacific Coast, but we have many events
and achievements which must go down in
the annals of history. It must have been
the same spirit which actuated Molly
Pitcher and the other women of the Revo
lution that burned In the heart of Nar
clssa Prentiss, of the State of New York
who, with her no less heroic husband Dr'
Marcus Whitman, crossed the plains. This
devoted couple, carrying with them the
Bible and the flag, began a labor of love
among the Indians, which did not ceae
with their tragic martyrdom which his
tory has described so fully that further
mention of it may be omitted here. Mrs.
Whitman was a striking blonde, with a
well-developed form, and a voice of win
ning sweetness; she was an enthusiast In
her religion, and yielded up her life on
the altar of her devotion with a tnini r
self-sacrifice that will keep her memory
si ecu. ncre in ine annals of history Is
there a nobler act of privation and rac
riflce than" that wonderful ride of Marcus
Whitman across the continent? In the
month of October he bade a fond adieu
to his ever-devoted wlf nn" ntt
only by one friend, mounted on their
cijuse ponies, turnea Ms lace toward the
East, his heart filled with patriotism and
the desire to save this beautiful ion
his own country. His lonely journey was
wirougu me iracKiess rorest, over seas,
snow-clad mountains, dawn tVii-nnv.
and silent valleys; sleeping at night with
oniy tne stars aoove Mm, but always
feeling and saying "It Is for my country."
It was well on In March when ho
St. Louis, dressed In ragged clothing and
foot-sore, and It was his undaunted spirit
which saved Oregon to the Union. HIa
party started across the plains, a journey
of over 2000 miles. He returned to his
mission on the banks of the Columbia
River, there to lay down his life, with
that of his devoted wife. In the cause of
religion, Oregon and Washington. The
awful massacre of Dr. "Whitman on v.-
wife and his few devoted followers can
never re torgotten.
The early pioneers, who, in goodly num

daughters were pathfinders and pioneers, J
always In advance of civilization, blazing
their trail, taking as their motto "West
ward the Star of Empire Takes Its
Course," carrying with them only the
necessities of life, across the plains, 2000
miles, through a country inhabited by
roving bands of Indians, and abounding
with wild beasts Is it strange that they
forgot to carry with them the family tree
to enable their children to trace back
their ancestors so that they might Be
eligible for membership In the Daughters
of the American Revolution? If my state
boasts but one chapter of 50 members, it
is not becanse there are today no more
women who are eligible, and who would
gladly join this society,' but because of
the difficulty of following up or retracing
the steps of those pioneers who crossed
the plains in the later 40s and 50s, and
who came from the bluest blood of Vir
ginia, the Knickerbockers of New York,
and the most distinguished people of Con
necticut and all New England; for they
first left their colonial homes to cross the
Alleghcnles Into Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky
and the Middle Western States, their
children moving on across the Mississippi,
their grandchildren crossing the Rocky"
Mountains to people that beautiful slope
reaching to the Pacific Coast. And now,
again, the descendants of these people
have gone on to our new possessions
Hawaii 'and the Philippines to plant the
religion of the cross, the civilization pf
American patriotism of '76.
Let us not forget that we are fo cele

40.000 women, sends to you to enlist your
aid and interest.

MANYDI AMOND CANDIDATES
Students nt Washington University
Turn Their Attention to Baseball.
UNIVERSITY Of WASHINGTON,
March S. (Special.) The baseball schedule
at the university has now been practlcally
completed. A large number of games
nave been arranged and the 'varsity for
the first time will become a factor in
Northwest college baseball. The boys are
out for the championship and Captain
Teats feels confident of landing the pen
nant for the "U" by June 1. In former
years little Interest has been manifested
In this branch of athletics and with the
exception of one or two -years the uni
versity has been a dead letter on the dia
mond. The entire efforts of the college
have been turned towards other sports,
namely football and track athletics. This
year, however, has marked a new epoch In
the history of the institution, and It is
safe to say the 'varsity will have at least
25 candidates out regularly every after
noon to work for positions on the nine.
The abolition of drill has fostered the
growth of athletics more than any move
taken during the last few years. All the
underclassmen are compelled to take work
In the physical department, which before
long turns them over to some branch of
athletics. Professor Vandervere has
nearly 200 men in his regular classes,
which gives some Idea of the possibilities
the institution has to defend her colors
on the gridiron, on the track and on the
diamond. The large freshman class which
entered college last Fall has also aided
baseball materially by adding at least
a dozen very promising men.
During the latter part of March practice
games will be played between the first
and second nines about twice a week.
From the first of April on, games will
take place between the 'varsity and the
two learue teams of Seattle until the
latter aggregations begin their schedule.
In this way the collegians hope to be
taught something about the game early in
the season. Later in the month, games
may be arranged with some of the clubs
along Puget Sound preparatory to their
college contests. On the first of May the
team will leave for a tour east of the
mountains, taking In the Eastern Wash
ington institutions and those of Idaho.
It has been practically assured that
games will be played with Whitman Col
lege at Walla Walla. Washington Agricul
tural College at Pullman, and the Univer
sity of Idaho at Moscow, Idaho. Imme
diately following their return Whitman
College and possibly 'Mount Angel College
will each send a team to Seattle, which
will be the only collegiate games in this
city. On May 23 the team will go to British
Columbia, where tbey will meet the Van
couver baseball team. On May 20 the last
game of the season will be played at Vic
toria. The Spring season of sports will be
opened by the big indoor meet to be held
on March 13.
The young women of the college will
close their basket-ball season on Mon
day night with a game against Tacoma
High School. Last Thursday afternoon
the 'varsity girls defeated the Ellensburg
Normal School by the score of 5 to 0.

From the moment a child is born the question
of nourishment becomes of great importance. A
right start avoids a lot of trouble later on; it's so
easy to begin right, too.
Many women cannot or will not chiefly will
not nurse their children. The best thing to do
under the circumstances is to help the bottle babies
all we can they're at a big disadvantage at best.
We .know positively that nothing will do them
more good than Scott's Emulsion a few drops in
the bottle. It seems to furnish just the right
quantity and the right kind of nourishment needed
for babies and growing children.
The women who are willing but unable to
properly nurse their children will find Scott's Emul
sion a great help a two-fold help in fact. It has a
direct and immediate effect, not only feeding and
sustaining the mother, but insuring also a flow of
rich, nourishing milk for the baby.
Thus Scott's Emulsion strengthens the mother
and" goes naturally through the milk and strengthens
the child

MEN'S DISEASES
DR. W. NORTON DAVIS
CONTRACTED
DISORDERS
These troublesome diseases are re
sponsible for a very large propor
tion of so-called "weakness," which
fact emphasizes the Importance
of prompt and careful treatment.
Cases that have been neglected or
only partially cured are almost cer
tain to set up inflammation in the
prostate gland, which In time be
comes chronic and Interferes with
the natural functions. Through our
long experience in treating these
diseases we have devised methods
that not only cure soundly and per
manently, but cure In less time
than the best of other treatments
require. Take no chances. Do not
risk your health and manhood by
relying on patent nostrums or un
certain methods. Tou are absolute
ly s'ecure when you intrust your
case with us.
VARICOCELE
"We positively cure varicocele by
painless treatment. We have cured
hundreds of cases of this disease.
In not a single instance has our
treatment been followed by undesir
able results. The methods we em
ploy are In their essential features
distinctively our own. and are a re
sult of years of careful study and
observation. Do not delay. Vari
cocele has robbed many a man of
his strength and vitality, and If
-neglected results in a withering and
wasting away of the organs In
volved. Your comfort, happiness
and safety demand a cure, and the
service we offer you Is not to be
obtained elsewhere.

Dr. W. ' Norton Davis & Co.
145K Sixth Street, cor. Alder, Portland', Or.
cers expect to sign some 1600 recruits.
Portland will furnish Its full quota, for
here are all the classes desired In abund
ance. Tho machine shops and foundries
turn out many graduates, who may en
list as first-class machinists, while the
number of business colleges here should
be responsible for many young clerks and
stenographers who. wish to enter the naval
service. Machinists with sea-going experi
ence are particularly wanted by the re
cruiting officers, and Portland should be
able to supply enough of this class to
keep the machinery of the battleships in
condition.
Most numerous among the probable ap
plicants will be the apprentices. These
range in age from 15 to 17 years,
and will be transferred to a training-ship
as soon as they pass the searching eye of
the doctor who will listen to the heart
beats and poke them and prod them until
they wish the Idea of entering the Navyf
aaa never come into tneir young neaas.
These boys will receive $3 a month for
their services.
The best paid men who will enlist in
Portland are the machinists. Chief ma
chinists in the Navy get $70 a, month, to
gether with all expenses, while the war
ranted machinists receive from 512C0 to
51S00 a year. Ordinary men of the trade
with sea-going experience will get S55 a
month, while those who have never
worked while the ship was tossing and
heaving will make only $40 by their
month's work. Shipwrights are wanted
also, and their pay will amount to $25 a
month. These rates of pay look small in
comparison with wages ashore, but it
should be considered that the expenses on
one of Uncle Sam's warships are little in
deed when compared with the dreaded
board bill and the dozens of unavoidable
extras which cut their way into a month's
salary on the outside. All except tha ap
prentices and the landsmen taken for
training will be sent at once to a receiving
station, and will proceed to active work.
It appears rather strange that the re
cruiting officers should remain as long in
Salem as In Portland, but experience may
have taught them that the boys of Ma
rlon County are as eager to ship as thoso
in a shipping town wfiere tales of hard
shlp afloat have become a familiar thing.

Prompt and Thorough Re
sults Obtained By t)ur
Treatment.
The trend of medical progress it not only
toward the accomplishment of thorough
cures, but toward their accomplishment
in the briefest time possible. Never be
fore in the treatment of men's diseases
have these considerations been met as they
are by our own original and strikingly
distinctive methods. This is a fact that
stands proven. For years we have been
demonstrating it, and each case that we
accept for treatment affords one more
demonstration. In a majority of instances
we arc aute to effect a complete cure in
less than half the time commonly required
to produce even partial results. This is
not an exaggerated statement. There Is
nothing unreasonable about It. It is In di
rect accord with reason, and it Is just
what shoiild be-.expected where the treat
ment Is accurate and scientific.
WEAKNESS
Functional derangements com
monly termed "weakness" are a
direct result of Inflammation, en
largement or excessive sensitiveness
of the prostate gland, brought on
by early dissipation, or resulting
from some Improperly treated con
tracted disorder. These conditions
cannot possibly be removed by in
ternal medicines alone and any
tonic system of treatment that
stimulates activity of the functions
can but result In aggravation of
the real aliment. This Is a scientific
truth that we have ascertained after
a careful study and observation in
hundreds of cases, and Is a truth
upon which our own original sys
tem of treatment Is based. "We em
ploy neither tonics, stimulants nor
electric belts. "We treat mainly by
local methods, and our success in
curing even those cases that others
have failed to temporarily relieve
with their tonics Is conclusive evi
dence that our method affords the
only possible means of a complete
and radical cure.
STRICTURE
Our treatment for stricture is en
tirely independent of surgery. It
Is a home treatment. A complete
cure Is accomplished without cut
ting or dilating. All growths and
obstructions In the urinary passage
are dissolved, membranes cleansed
and all Irritation or congestion re
moved. WAIT FOR OUR FEE UNTIL CURE
