TRADES COUNCIL ACTS.
The Federated Trades Council at a
-vpecl&l meeting last nlht indorsed the
strike at tho Fair Grounds. The res
olution adopted follows:
"Whereas. The building trades unions
of this city are engaged In a struggle
for their very existence and for the
maintenance of union -principles on
the Lewis and Clark Fair Grounds;
and.
Whereas, The impression has gone
abroad that the other unions aro not
In sympathy with the building trades
unions In their fight against the un
t Just treatment of contractors and the
Fair Commission; therefore, be It
Resolved, by the Federated Trades
Council. That we pledge our fullest
sympathy and support to the Build
ing Trades Alliance, and fully indorse
the stand taken by the alliance on
work at the Lewis and Clark Fair
Grounds and buildings, as we fully
realizo that this is organized labor's
fight and Is not confined in its efroct
to any particular portion of it.
The council also appointed a commit
tee to act with the Building Trades
Alliance in securing necessary funds.
In case it should be necessary to pro
long the strike.
There is a bunch of idle men standing
constantly about the main entrance to the
Fair grounds and an imposing array o
police to prevent any possible trouble be
tween strike pickets and men going to
and coming from work, but that is alt
the strike there is. Inside the gates -work
Is going on much as usual, not so rapidly,
as new crews have to bo trained, but still
satisfactorily.
The only real strike has been on the
Government building and the American
Inn. At the latter place there has been a
6hort crew, says Contractor Wuerster.
because there was not enough lumber
ior more men. At the Government build
ing about 250 men were at work yester
day, twice as many of whom were com
mon laborers as skilled artisans. That
has been the regular ratio among differ
ent classes during all the work on that
building. The contention of the strikers
that new men would not be ab!6 to work
on the roof, on account of Its height.
proves incorrect, as work on. the roof Is
now rapidly going forward, apparently as
quickly as before .the strike. Some of the
strikers themselves, who have' broken
from the ranks "of those striking, are
among the workmen. About one-half
the roof was in place when the strike
began last Friday morning, and In the
last two days the work has progressed
until about three-fourths of the roof is
now covered.
Strike Practically Ended.
With plenty of men, though not a full
crew, at work on the Government build
ing, the strike is practically ended, wheth
er called off or not. The hold which the
strikers had over the Fair was that great,
igaunt specter, the Government building,
half done. But if work upon It progresses
as it has for the past ten days, there will
fee no troublo in getting it done, though
no more of the strikers return to work.
J. E. Bennett, contractor for the Gov
ernment building, yesterday discharged
his foreman. Ward, who has been the
chief agitator among the workmen, though
not a member of any union, on account
of his position. Ward railed to appear for
work In the morning, coming at noon, but
when he arrived he found his position
filled, and was told that the other man.
continuing to All the position as well as
he had all the morning, he would remain
where he -was. Mr. Ward "was out of
. job.
Ward as Chief Agitator.
Ward has been the chief of the agita
ftors. The demands submitted to Con
tractor Bennett a week ago are said to
have been in Ward's handwriting.' The
statement comes from the best authority
:ln labor circles that last Friday when the
strike was declared and the plasterers
were not called off. Ward found some of
these workmen eating luncheon at noon
land said: "What are you doing here7"
'The men responded that they had not yet
ibeen called off the work. "That makes no
difference," continued Ward, "aren't you
good union men? Ho -went beyond the
orders of the qualified labor leaders on
more occasions than one. and none will
be better pleased to see him away from
the Fair grounds than the labor leaders
of Portland.

HEADING rROir LEFT
Upon the call of the members of the executive committee of the Port
land Commercial Club an Oregon Development League Convention will
be held in Portland April 4 and 5. The members of the executive com
mittee are Theo. B. Wilcox, chairman; William M. Ladd. Robert Living
stone, J, Frank Watson, A. L. Mills, L. Allen Lewis, Walter F. Burrell. J.
C Alnsworth and L N. Fleischner.
The. purpose of the convention of tho Oregon Development Lague to
be held in Portland next month Is to formulate and decide upon plans
that will aid Oregon in getting the great benefits for this state that will
accrue as the result of the-Lewis and Clark Exposition. It is understood
that at the convention, excursions from th'e different portions of the state
will be arranged to tako placo during the Exposition months. It is also
very probable that at the convention the delegations from the "different
sections will be instructed to provide for the sending of representatives
to the Lewis and Clark Fair to devote their entire time to informing
the Eastern visitors of the wonderful resources to be found In each parr
ticular part of Oregon. Other movements are under contemplation.
The Oregon Development League -was organized at a convention held
under the auspices of the Portland Commercial Club In tho Marquam
Grand Theater August 2 and 3, 1904. At present it is composed of 52
regularly organized bodies. This league was not organized for the espe
cial benofit of the City of Portland, but for the whole state at large. It
is the most representative and progressive state organization In the

Republican and Demooratlc pri

Last day for filing petitions of

nations April 21
Last day for filing petitions of
candidates for independent nom
inations , ..May 21
Under the direct-primary law, the Re
publican and Democratic parties each will
choose one nominee for each elective of
fice of the city government- These nomi
nees will be selected at the primaries from
an array of candidates by the members
of the two parties, voting as at ordinary
elections. The nominees will go before
tho people in the city election June 5 in
the customary manner, and the success
ful ones will become officers of tho city
government. .
Thus the direct-primary law will change
not the method of electing officers of the
city government but the method of nomi
nating party candidates. Independent or
"citizen" candidates will be nominated the
same as heretofore.
Party nominees hltheito have been cho
sen by party conventions. But hencefor
ward nominations are to be made by the
members of the parties themselves. The
candidate for any given office, such as
Mayor, who receives the most votes for
the nomination of his party Is to be tho
party nominee for that office.
For example, If Jones and Brown and
Smith are candidates for the Republican
nomination for Mayor, the one of the
three who receives the most votes in the
Republican primaries will be the Repub
lican nominee. Xcmocrats will hold pri
maries on the same day and at the same
place, and will choose their party nomi
nees In the same manner.
Hence, In the primary elections May 6,
Republicans and Iemocrats separately
will choose their nominees and those nom
inees will be voted on June E, according
to the method heretofore in force.
Voters Must Register.
To participate In primary elections vot
ers must be registered with the County
Clerk as to their party affiliation. Only

PEIGHTEKED BY MOUNTAIN HON
School Children Report Seeing the
Beast Near the Homestead.
The mountain lion which was thought
to have been driven off Marquam's Hill
by hounds two weeks ago has appeared
again. This time It was at the small set
tlement on the point of the hill, known
as the Homestead. School children going
home to luncheon yesterday noon met
It on the edge of the settlement, but were
not molested by it. There were few men
at the Homestead, so the police were tele
phoned, but Chief Hunt did not send any.
one to drive out the pest.
That there should be a mountain lion
so near a city of this size, the furthest
range of wnlch Is not more than two miles
from the Courthouse, has been scoffed at.
but this is not the first time It has been
seen. It has been driven by dogs, and
shot at, and has been seen by several
persons. Some believe that the animal Is
a large yellow dog, that has turned out
law, or a- wildcat, but those who1 have
seen it have no doubt that It Is a genuine
mountain lion.

largely attended. The revival opens In
Portland on March 22. Those who have
Interested themselves In the revival
say that the interest displayed so far
is almost without precedent.

CONVENTION IS CALLED
United States, and is working for the future prosperity and 'development
of Oregon.
The following Is the call for the convention.' signed by the members
of the executive committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce:
OREGON DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE CONVENTION PORTLAND, TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4 ANB 5, 1005.
As members of the executive committee of the Portland Commercial Club. t-e urge
an especially large and thoroughly representative delegation from' every portion of
Oregon to the convention to be held by the Oregon Development League In the City of
Portland. Tuesday and Wednesday. April 4 and 5. at which time plans should be
adopted which will result In getting every possible benefit of a permanent character
for the State of Oregon as a result of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition.
This committee waa organized and the funds raised to carry on Its work for tho
purpose of advancing the material Interests of the State of Oregon and tho general
welfare of the Pacific Northwest.
W feel that Portland and other cities will take care of themselves in harmony
with the Increased prosperity In th country.
Since the organization of the Oregon Development League. Auguet 2 and 3, 1G04.1
it has become recognized as on of the moK active and Influential organization of
Its kind in the Union. It now embraces In its mnbmhln ns naT-at wti.i ai
actively engaged In exploiting the opportunities presented by their different localities.
From Its Inception tht Oregon Development League has been actively at work.
Many of the bodies holding membership In the state organization have carried on h
most Interesting campaign of publicity, and as a result Oregon Is becoming better
known, and at the present time there .are probably more homeaeekern In the state
than at any time In Its history.
The convention, April A and 5. should get down to a basli that will bring
results. We have, however, no fear aj to the outcome. Judging from the brief but
splendid record the League has made.
WILL ACT FRIDAY
Council Will Pass on Important
Measures.
SUBJECTS FOR CONSIDERATION
Automatic Telephone Franchise' and
the Ordinance Affecting the Ore
gon Traction Company to
Be Determined.
Mayor Williams yesterday afternoon
called a special meeting of the Council
for 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. Matters
upon which prompt action Is desired will
be brought up.
Councilman Zimmerman at the last ses
sion of the Council Inserted an amend
ment Into the franchise ordinance of
the Oregon Traction Company by which
cars are not to be run on Portland streets
until the line is ready and cars can go
through to Hlllsboro. The officials of the
company object to this provision, alleg
ing that It will seriously hinder con
struction, as they plan to haul the ma
terials from the city on their own cars
and build toward, Hlllsboro. The fran
chise ordinance will probably be again
gono over, and will then be ready for
publication, which is necessary before
its passage.
The automatic telephone franchise is
another matter for the Council's consid
eration. The compensation has not yet
been fixed by the Executive Board, but as
the street committee which has this Job
In hand will meet again tomorrow after
noon, the representatives of the tele
phone company will know by Friday what
sum will probably be decided upon.
HARDEN DRIVEWAYS WITH OIL
How It Is Proposed to Improve Streets
to Fair Grounds.
Driveways hardened and kept dustless
by crude oil are to lead from the busi
ness district to the Xiewis and Clark Fair
grounds if the street committee of the
Executive Board has anything to say
about it and City Engineer Wanzer is
able to get tho streets ready in time.
More than one street will be Improved
in this way so that tourists in carriages
and automobiles may have different views
going and returning. Twentieth, Overton,
Twenty-fourth and one other street to
be chosen will be sprinkled with oil, and
kept in good condition during the Ex
position months.
Yesterday afternoon, following the meet
ing of the street committee, its members,
Messrs. Boise and Glisan and Mayor Wil
liams, accompanied by City Engineer
Wanzer, took a drive along the various
routes to the Fair grounds. The ex
pense of the crude oil will not be high,
but the sprinkler costs several thousand
dollars.
The compensation for the franchise of
the automatic telephone was to be the
subject of the special meeting, but
though Charles E. Sumner and Attorney
Wilson, representing the Empire Con
struction Company which wants the fran
chise, were present, there' were no rep
resentatives of the Pacific Gtatea Tele
phone & Telegraph Company to argue
on the other side. It was reported that
Manager J. H. Thatcher was out of the
city, but Carey, the company's attorney,
was expected.
"Oh. I know what Carey will say."
said Mayor Williams. T could make
his speech for him Just as well as not.
He'll say that his company has spent a
great deal of money here and will spend'
much more." Carey's speech wa3 not
heard, however.
Councilman Sharkey made another pro
test against the closing of Grand avenue
and East Oak street. But before the
street repair fund is tapped the property
owners must decide how much they will
pay for the improvement of East Oak
street.
Repair Tanner-Creek Sewer.
Under the supervision of City Engineer
Wanzer. Smyth &. Howard will finish
and repair the Tanner-Creek sewer, act
ing for the surety company which bonded
R. M. Riner to the city. The contract

specifications, and much concrete and
some stone blocks must be laid before
tho drain answers requirements. The
cost will be nearly 310,000. depending upon
the amount of work done.
STATUS OF SLOT MACHINES.
Mayor Williams Has Not Ordered En
forcement of Ordinance.
With a prohibitive ordinance against
cigar slot machines in effect, no orders
to take these devices off the counters have
yet been issued by Mayor Williams.
Such orders would be given to the cigar
store men through the police, but Mayor
Williams yesterday afternoon said:
"I have given no orders to the Chief of
Police, as I am waiting to learn what
those who had the ordinance drawn up
wish done."
Cigar men aro somewhat apprehensive.
It Is said to be the understanding that
the machines may be run on the fine
system, that is, the proprietors may be
arrested every quarter and fined for op
erating a device prohibited by law. Be
fore the license ordinance was repealed
by the Council, at Its last session, each
machine paid, or was supposed to pay, 55
a quarter Into the City Treasury. The
Mayor has at his command an ordinance
by. which the machines can'be put out of
business very effectually. Unless the tacit
understanding Is made definite and posi
tive, therefore, it is possible the machines
will be ordered out.
Matron Prevents His Escape.
Police Matron Simmons yesterday pre
vented the escape from the City Jail of
William J. Murphy, who had Just been
sentenced by Municipal Judge Hogue to
one year in the County Prison for larceny
of clothing from a local store.
Murphy, who Is regarded by the police
as a dangerous thief, managed to get out
of the courtroom, -and walked up the
stairs into the woman's ward. Matron
Simmons saw him, and was at once sus
picious. She summoned a patrolman
from headquarters and had Murphy taken
to a cell.
Suicide of Insane Woman Patient.
SALEM, Or.. March 7. Special.) Mrs.
J. W. Harmon, of Grant's Pass, commit
ted suicide at the State Insane Asylum
last night by hanging herself to a win
dow guard by means of a rope made from
a bed sheet. Her body was not discovered
until several hoars later. No Inquest was
held.
Deceased was 37 years old. and leaves a
husband, residing at Grant's Pass.
AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.
It is easy to keep well If we would only
observe each day a few simple rules of
health.
The all-Important thing is to keep the
stomach right, and to do this it is not
necessary to diet or to follow a set rule
or bill of fare. Such pampering simply
makes a capricious appetite and ax feeling
that certain favorite articles of food must
be avoided.
Prof. WIechold gives pretty good advice
on this subject. He says: "I am 63 years
old and have never had a serious Illness,
and at the same time my life has been
largely an indoor one, but I early discov
ered that the way to keep healthy was
to keep a healthy stomach, not by eating
bran crackers or dieting of any -sort; on
the contrary I always eat what my ap
petite craves, but dally for the past eight
year I have made It a practice to take
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal, and I attribute my ro
bust health for a man of my age to the
regular dally use of Stuart's Tablets.
My physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were perfectly
harmless and were not a secret patent
medicine, but contained only the natural
digestives, peptones and diastase, and af
ter using them a few weeks I have never
ceased to thank him for his advice.
"I honestly believe the habit of taking
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals
is the real health habit, because their use
brings health to the sick and ailing and
preserves health to the well and strong.
Men and women past SO years of age
need a safe digestive after meals to In
sure a perfect digestion and to ward off
disease, and the safest, best known and
most widely used la Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
They are found In every well-regulated
household from Maine to California and
in Great Britain and Australia are rap-
Idly pushing their way Into popular fa.
vor.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, full-sized packages at 50 cents.
and for a weak stomach a 50-cent pack
age will often do SS0 worth of rood

MAY NAME MALLEY
Democratic Patriots Hold a
Caucus.
DISCUSS THE MAYORALTY
If Not Malley They May Decide to
Select iLane- or Montague for
Their Municipal Moses at
Coming Election.
A score or more Democratic patriots
bunched themselves together in the
Chamber of Commerce building last night
and decided that their proper size for
Mayor was either Dr. Harry Lane, Rich
ard W. Montague, or M. J. Malley. Sev
eral other ellgibles were taken up and
examined, but thrown on the dump pile,
among them being G. H. Thomas, W. E.
Robertson, A. F. Flegel and Dr. G. M.
Wells.
The caucus was a function mostly of
Sweek braves, and the Peery outfit which
fought the Sweek faction in the last pri
maries and convention was conspicuous
for Its absence. Among the lights who
shed 'radiance on the scene were Alex
Sweek himself, chairman of all the un ter
rified hosts In Oregon, and J. B. Ryan,
secretary; B. E. Haney, secretary of the
County Committee; John Manning, Dis
trict Attorney; Richard W. Montague. C.
B. Williams, John Lamont, T. G. Greene,
E. W. Dwyer, Dr. Goray, J. C. Havely,
Pat Powers and W. T. Vaughn, the last
named of whom Is out for the nomination
for Police Judge, in competition with J.
B. Ryan. General Klllfeather, for some
unaccountable reason, was not invited to
shine among the starbeams.
The gentlemen talked more than an
hour on sundry aspirants for the May
oralty. .The upshot of their deliberations
was more or less an intangible Inanity of
hot air, but they were highly pleased with
the result of their communion. What
they crave above all things is an alii
an co with the reform element, such as
will sweep their nominee for Mayor to
victory. Such an alliance they would not
regard in the light of fusion. Some
brethren were desirous of putting oft the
nomination until after the Republican
primaries. In order to make arrangements
with the reform element should the Re
publican nominee be unsatisfactory to
that element. Such strategy did not seem
possible, however, owing- to the necessity
of making party nominations in accord
ance with the primary law.
G. H. Thomas, who has set about to
place his name before the Democratic pri
maries, was admitted to be a fine man.
but doubt was expressed of his party loy
alty In the last Presidential election. Be

sides, Thomas is a sort of persona non
grata in tho Sweek camp for having an
tagonized the Sweek element in the last
state convention by voting a pocketful of
proxies against that faction's schemes.
The caucus was informed that Dr. Lane
was likely to be absent from the city dur
ing the campaign, and that he would
probably, therefore, not consent to be the
standard-bearer. Mr. Montague said to
members of the caucus that he wished to
be spared. Consequently, it semed to be
up to M. J. Malley to play the role of a
Moses for the Democratic hosts. The
brethren were hopeful that a deal could
be fixed up for Malley's indorsement by
the reform element.
