LL OFERUDRS
men and the company have been satisfac
torily adjusted, -with one exception. This
Is a rule governing the payment of
overtime at special rates for Sunday
work.
"In view of the fact that It has been
Impossible for the officers of the com
pany and members of the telegraphers',
committee to reconcile this difference, It
was decided to prepare a schedule of
rates and rules which, with only this ex
ception, embodied concessions made to
the committee.
"Copies of the new schedule and a list
of the new rates of pay have been sent
out to the various divisions, the men on
the line being requested to signify their
intentions as to acceptance without the
concurrence of the telegraphers commit
tee. The canvass of .the telegraphers on
the system so far made Indicates that
approximately 0 per cent of the tele
graphers on the line arc entirely satis
fied with the new schedules and rates.
It Is expected there will be no difficulty
In maintaining a regular and satisfactory
traffic over the company's lines."

"Wage Scale on Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Causes Con
.fllct Nonunion Men Tak
ing Strikers' Places.
ST. PATJL, Minn., Aug. 1. All of the
telegraph operators of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific systems -were or
dered out tonight at 11 o'clock by Presi
dent Perham, of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers. According to the officials of
the Telegraphers' Union, between 1900 and
2000 men will be affected by the order,
Mr. Perham declares that by 12 o'clock
tomorrow 95 per cent of the operators will
be out.
The railway officials maintain that they
will be able to fill the places of most of
the men, and that they will. suffer noth
ing more than a temporary Inconvenience
by the -move.
ACCEPT SCAIiE OR QUIT WORK
Railroads jrect Threat of Strike by
Iocking Out Operators.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 1. Negotiations .which
have been pending between the Order of
Railway Telegraphers and the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific railroads
for some time came to a sudden end to
day, -when General Manager Horn, of the
Northern Pacific, notified the telegraph
ers of that system that the -company's
proposition as to the rate of wages It
would pay was final, and tney could ac
cept It or leave the service.
The Great Northern officials took prac
tically the same stand toward their em
ployes last night, thus throwing confu
sion Into the ranks of the telegraphers,
who hardly expetced such a move. The
only chance of an adjustment of the
trouble rests with President J. J. HUI,
who Ik In New York, and to whom Pres
ident Perham, of the Railway Telegraph
ers, appealed In a telegram last night.
Just how many men have refused to
consider the terms offered by the roads
Is uncertain. Until 3:30 this afternoon
no definite figures had been received at
the headquarters of cither railroad. The
orders affect about 750 operators and
agents on the Great Northern, and about
1200 on the Northern Pacific.
Headed Off Strike Order.
After having Issued the ultimatum to
the men, Mr. Horn gave out the following
statement: i
"Mr. Perham.presidest of the Order of
Railway Telegraphers, this morning ad
vised me that he intends to go the limit
with both the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern Railways, just as. soon as he
thinks such a courpe necessary.
"Shortly before noon the Northern Pa
cific started a lockout of Its telegraphers
because of a strike vote taken on May 27.
Strike instructions were Issued July 5,
and these with the vote are still hanging
over its head, in spite of the fact that
during several weeks' negotiations the
points of difference have been pretty gen
erally cleaned up except the Sunday rule
and raise of minimum. The Sunday rule
demanded Is -different from any in the
United States, and would add to the pay
roll of the telegraphers about $100,000 per
year.
Rates of Pay Increased.
"The company's rate of pay Is not ex
ceeded, but. on the other hand, is con
siderably higher than on most of the
roads in the same territory. It has made
liberal increases to Its telegraphers dur
ing the past 12 years. As compared with
1600. the same positions that existed in
that year are paying In 1905 $110,000 addi
tional. This Increase relates only to the
positions in 1905 which were In existence
five years ago. There are now in exist
ence over 200 more positions than existed
in 1900. These, of course, take the 1905
higher rates. Comparing the 1905 positions
with those of 1900, as a whole, the telegra
phers are receiving an Increase of annual
pay amounting to not less than $150,000.
"The increases made May 1, and those
agreed upon at the recent conferences foot
up about $20,000 over and above the lncomo
paid prior to Maj' 1 of this year. The
impractical rules and exorbitant demands
made by the committee In the first propo
sition, and practically repeated in their
proposition of July 27, are considered con
clusive proof that at no time has it been
the intention of the committee to make
concessions which would enable the com
pany to make a satisfactory settlement.
Before actual negotiations were com
menced they had fully decided to force a
strike. When conferences started on
July 12, strike Instructions had already
been in force for an entire week. Last
Friday we concluded negotiations that
were still hanging over our heads. The
road was In this position:
"Mr. Perham, or his committee, could
inaugurate a strike of our telegraphers
any time they saw fit. They would neith
er accept nor reject the company's propo
sition. This uncertainty the company
could not put up with, and as a result a
lockout -was inagugrated today."
GREAT NORTHERN 3IEX OUT
Given Alternative of Accepting Scale
or Leaving Road.
ST. PAUL, Aug. L Differences between
the Great Northern Railroad Company
and its telegraphers reached a climax to
day when nearly all the telegraphers on
the Wilmar. Fergus Fulls and Brecken
ridge divisions of the road quit their
places. The men claim it Is it lockout on
the part of the .road, because they will
not accept the terms offered them.
The company claims that 80 per cent of
the telegraphers are satisfied. In a circu
lar to its employes the company proposes
a schedule of wages which it claims gives
an Increase to the men amounting to 520,
000 annually. The men, on the other
band, claim this increase amounts to only
57000 or 5S0O0 annually for about 1000 men.
The men were asked in the circular to
decide whether they wished to continue in
the company's service and be governed by
its new rules ahd regulations. When the
men refused to accept the proposition they
claim they were at once discharged.
President Perham. of the Railway Tel
egraphers' Union, said today:
"But one man has failed. Elsewhere
they have gone out uniformly. I want to
make It clear that this is not a strike
but a lockout"
A statement Issued by the Great North
ern .says. In pari:
"All of the points at issue between the
WILIj TIE UP WESTERN END
Union Strong on Both Roads AVcst
of Spokane.
SPOKANE, August 1. A. Beamer, su
perintendent of the Idaho division of the
Northern Pacific, has left for the coast
to get the decisions of the telegraphers
regarding the ultimatum of Manager
Horn. Tomorrow he will close all offices
where the men remain with the union.
The union is strong on this division and
it Is claimed a general tie-up will result.
It is expected that the Great Northern
officials will arrive here tomorrow and
that by noon most of the men on both
roads here will be out.
Chairman Tanquary. of the O. R. T..
will arrive tonight to direct the fight
from this city. '
ONE DIVISION TIED UP TIGHT
No Trains Moving in Rocky 3Ioun
talns and Wires Down.
MISSOULA. Mont., Aug. L The Rocky
Mountain division of the Northern Pacific
is tied up tight by the strike. Of the en
tire staff, all quit on signal sent except
two. Train No. 1. due here at 11:25 to
night, was brought into the depot by
handcar signals. Not a wheel is turning,
as it is considered too dangerous to travel
without orders.
All wires along the road are down, but
whether due to interference or a terrific
electrical storm which passed over "West
ern Montana at 11 o'clock tonight. Is not
known. The entire division Is seriously
crippled, for the time being, at least.
STRIKE ON RIO GRANDE ROAD
Trackmen Will Go Out to Enforce
Higher Wages.
DENVER. August L With the approval
of John T. Wilson, president of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Maintenance
of Way Employes, an order was sent
out today by the joint protective board
on the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
to all track and water-service men on
that road, who are members of the Broth
erhood, to go on strike at 6 o'clock, August
2. The strike Is ordered in conquence
of the refusal of the officers of the com
pany to accept the schedule presented "by
the brotherhood or to submit tho matter
in dispute to arbitration. More than 2003
employes. It Is said, are affected by the
strike order.
The concessions asked by the trackmen,
which the Denver & Rio Grande officers
refused to make, included an Increase of
$10 a month In the wages of ecction fore
men and of 35 to SO cents a day In the
wages of section hands and rules of gov
ernment such as have been given to other
branches of the service. The union also
demanded that foremen recently dis
charged because of supposed -activity in
the brotherhood, as they allege, be rein
stated. Mr. Wilson ha come to this city from
St. Louis to take personal charge of the
strike. In preparing for the conduct of
the strike, 30,000 copies of a circular on
which is printed the correspondence be.
tween Chairman Thomas A. Saunders, of
the grievance committee, and General
Manager A. C. RIdgway and other officers
of the road have been spread broadcast
throughout the state.
B
aa
No Portland Men Affected.
There are but three men in Portland
who may be affected by the strike.
These are operators working for the
Northern Pacific Terminal Company at
the Union Depot. These men, however,
have as yet heard nothing officially of
the strike, and are not liable to be in
fluenced unless they decide to .act in
sympathy -with the strikers.
Being In the service of the Terminal
Company, they are not directly con
cerned In the strike and probably will
not become Involved.
TOO FEW OLD OFFICERS
Commander Young's Defense in
Bennington Explosion Case.
SAN DIEGO. Cal- August 1. The naval
court of Inquiry which is hearing evi
dence In the disaster to the gunboat Ben
nington resumed its session at 10:30 this
morning behind eloped doors. No one but
witnesses Is admitted to the meetings,
and no disclosure of the proceedings will
be made until the final report Is formu
lated, and then, probably, only after sub
mission to Washington.
It is understood that a portion of this
report will deal with the alleged shortage
of officers on the Bennington, to which
reference was made by Commander
Young in a letter to Admiral Goodrich
some days before the explosion, in which
he said he had "only four duty officers,
young and Inexperienced, which Is likely
to destroy the fine record we have made
for this ship, and to keep up the standard
I must have two more experienced of
ficers." The Bennington Is again at anchor In
the stream, and probably will remain here
until the court of inquiry completes Its
work, and then will be towed north by
the flagship.

j- by one of Portland's fceanty spots the
other morning and remarked to the
"writer, ' I love to stroll 'round by this place.
Look at those flower beds, notice how fresh
and pretty the roses are, the grass on the
slope is a carpet of velvet, and the sturdy
shrubbery away over there in the back
ground is as carefully pruned and cared
for as if it were a garden of rare exotics.
It must be quite an expense to maintain
such a- place."
Hot at all; quite the contrary. Oome
around here at sun-up any morning and
you'll see the possessor of the premises out
plucking every flower that shows the least
sign of decay fallen leaves, twigs and
every bit of waste is carefully gathered and
taken away. It takes but a little effort and
time each morning. Notice that place just
across the street. It's not nearly so refresh
ing, and yet it costs its owner much more
to keep it up. He has a man come around
about once a week or so to "clean up"
and it requires about as much labor at one
time as another.
And so it is with stores; instead of allow
ing goods from this and that and the other
departments to accumulate, we are con
stantly going thro' the various assortments,
picking out remnants, oddments and end
ments, slow sellers, etc., which we mark so
low as to make it profitable buying for
our public Then we add "spice" in the
way of the very best sellers and most wanted
goods in limited quantities as "specials."
Such a system makes it easily possible for
the OLDS, WORTMAN & KING STORE
to maintain the lowest prices for merchan
dise of the highest character. A test will
prove this and hundreds of thousands have
put it to the test. There's many a saving

The first week of August we always In
augurate a mtghty clearing sale of Trimmed
Hats. Many women have tired of their first
Summer Hat and want a "change"; others
want a "second hat" to such this sale ;s of
the utmost importance: the values are reer
less. Instead of Including every Hat in the
stocks every day, and thus destroying tho va

Us a conglomerate lot of Hats from which to
select, we shall take one line a day and mark
it at such a ridiculous figure as to insure
