CARSOfcCENE THIS TIME Trouble on the North Bank Grows More Serious, and It Is De cided to Test Rights In the Courts. "V HIH and Harriman construction pangs at Carbon, Wash., on the north bank of lho Columbia, came together In a Korious clash at noon yesterday. Members of the Columbia Valley party chnrpe that dyna mite mis freely used to drive their grad ers oft land belonging to the Harriman road. One laborer was said to have been hit by a flying rock, but only slightly in jured. The charge Is also made that a SnffllKflHHHQHKa JlpppV WaBdt.i . fmgrTBUid,WJsyiBllsslsslsslsslssM WBm.MStM THSiKtV? r&klhr!P' KviaBiS BmilllllllllmllllllH sIck of lighted dynamite was thrown anions the Columbia Valley graders, but the men took to thoir hwls nd cscapod Injur'. Finally a Deputy Sheriff was summoned and warned both construction gangs to desist from further demonstra tions. Tho situation was serious Inst night, and further clashes are feared. Whnt Columbia Men Say. Members of the Columbia Valley crew fay the blasts of dynamite were laid with tho Intention of injuring thoir men, and were not tired for the purposo of fright ening tbem merely. This they say is shown by tho fact that two mines of dy namite wore laid during the noon hour upon the spot where the Columbia Valley crews were at work. When they returned after dinner to resume operations, the fuse to fire the blast was quietly lighted, without warning to tho Columbia Valley workers, who were almost upon the Fpot -f' before they learned that a blast was about to be iired. They took to their heels and ran, but one laborer was struck on the head by a flying rock and slightly l'urt. These blasts, it Is said, were not st upon the grade being established by the Portland & Seattle contractors, but upon tho very spot where the Columbia Valley crews would resume operations. Forces in a Wrangle. The opposing factions then gathered about the scene of the explosion and a long wrangle ensued over rights to the property. Tho Columbia Valley men claimed ownership of the strip, for wliich H&00 had been paid. Tho Portland & Seattle graders demanded to sec thoir papers. The Columbia Valley men re sumed operations, but were again scat tred by a stiek of dynamite, thrown into tho crowd, it is alleged, by a contractor In charge of the HIH forces, named John son. The dynamite throwing occurred while the Columbia Valley foreman was turning in a hurry-up call for the Sheriff at Ste venson. Deputy Sheriff J. W. Iman soon reached the seene, and after a long parley V warned the Portland & Seattle graders to desist from using force, and threatened them with arrest if any further demon strations were made. The remainder of the day was quietly spent, with both gangs at work on their respective grades. Work Begins ut Cart-on. Work was begun at Carson yestorday about 11 o'clock on the Nessler tract by the Columbia Valley forces. At the east end of tho tract the Portland & Seattle gangs were found blasting a nil on land claimed as the property of the Harriman road. Fences had been cut and jKsse8 slon taken of the tract where, it is claimed by the opposition, the Hill grad ers have no right. The foreman of the Columbia Valley gangs warned them off tho ground and they wont peacefully. Some wrangling was carried on bofore the noon hour, but while the Columbia Val ley workers were at dinner their rivals were bus laying two mines of .dynamite under the spot where the Harriman gangs left off work. Outnumbers llarrlman Crew. The Portland & Seattle forces are said to have outnumbered the opposition, four to one. and consisted of about 100 men. The ringleaders in the dj'namltlng are said to have been the foreman Johnson, and a man named Wills, said to be pay master for the contracting firm of Porter Bros. & Welch, whose men are at work on the Portland & Seattle grades. The two are .alleged. JLo Jiave laid the mines, and tho foreman of the Hill graders is said to have tired the blast. vGo to the Courts. In "blissful Ignorance of the second conflict this week between the oppos ing forces along the Hill and Harriman roads on the north bank of tho Colum bia, James Kerr, head counsel for the Portland & Seattle, met in conference yesterday afternoon with G. W. Staple--tdn. counsel for the Columbia Valley, and arranged aa armistice It was agreed by Mr. Kerr to -withdraw the Hill forces from property claimed by the opposition until a u!t that will be a test case can be presented In the Clark County Superior Court. This will occur Tuesday rooming at 10 o'clock. As the gangs at the Mclwaac farm, near La Camas, the scene of the first dynamite throwing', were getting along harmoniously, it was agreed to con tinue work at that point, but other ground in dispute was agreed to be va cated until the court can decide the matter. A letter was received by Attorney Stapleton yesterday that Judge Mc Credie will not return to Vancouver until next Tuesday. The date for the bearing of counsel for both sides on a suit to condemn rights of way across property of the Columbia Valley Rail road, brought by the Portland & Seat tle Railway, was set for Tuesday. The case involves rights across the Mc Isaac, llunyon, Mitchell and Carlson, tracts, prior rights in which are claimed by the Columbia Valley. The land lies in Clark County, a short dis tance below La Camas. Will Pile Answer. An extended answer to the allega tions In the complaint will bo presented by the Columbia Valley attorneys, act ting forth the objects of the "company. It will. tate that the Columbia Valley Railroad Company has been duly or ganized to build a railroad down the Columbia and has acquired by purcna.se a large part of the right of way along the river bank. That rights across the same ground can be acquired by the opposing company by means of condem nation proceedings is vigorously de nied, on the ground that the land is al ready appropriated for railroad pur poses.

F.T.WR1GHTMAN' PRESIDENT Two Hundred Delegates From Elcvea Lodges la Oregon Pledge Judge MclviB, or California, Sap port for Exalted Rider. F. T. Wrightraan, of Salem, was elected president of the Oregon State Association of Elk at the second anna! convention of that organisation, which was held In the Elks' Temple at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He succeeds Governor George E. Chamberlain, who has been president of the association for thfe pat year. About 200 delegates from Oregon attend ed the convention of yesterday. There are 12 lodges In the state, and 11 of these sent delegates. The cities represented at the convention were Ashland, Baker City, Sa lem. Roscburg. Hcppner. La Grande. Al bany. Eugene, The Dalles. Astoria and Portland. Pendleton is tho only city In the state with an Elks' lodge that did TYoai a Flashlight Photograph by an Oregonlan Photographer. THE ANNUAL CONTENTION OF THE OREGON STATE ASSOCIATION OF ELKS OI'KXED. not send delegates to the convention. Tho Portland Lodge, which Is the largest in the state, was represented by 3S dele gates. Great EntliHfclasm Slroun. Great enthusiasm was arousM during the convention, which was held behind closed doors, and the delegates all unite In the opinion that it was very successful. It began at 2 o'clock in tho afternoon, and did not adjourn until about : o'clock. Governor Chamberlain presided over the convention. Probably the most Important action taken during the convention was the pas sage of a resolution which contained the recommendation that the Oregon dele gates to the grand lodge, which meets In Denver in July, support the movement to Induce the grand lodge to recognlxe the state associations of the Elks. Montana, Colorado and Washington have state as sociations besides Oregon. A determined fight will be made to secure recognition from the National body, and the Oregon Elks believe that the movement will be successful. The resolution recommended that all of the delegates from Oregon support the movement. A delegate was elected to rep resent the association. Each of the 12 lodges in Oregon will send delegates to the grand lodge, and they will co-operate with the repreesntatlves of the state as sociations to secure the desired recogni tion. Purpose of Associations. The state associations arc not organised or conducted under the jurisdiction of the grand lodge. The purpose of these as sociations Is to bring the Elks of the various states Into closer relationship, so that they can work together In harmony In the upbuilding of the order as a whole. The 'social phase is a pleasant feature of the associations. The conventions af ford the Elks of the state an opportunity to become acquainted with each other which otherwise they might not have. At the convention of yesterday various speakers expressed great satisfaction over the organization of the Oregon State As sociation. The sentiment that the grand lodge should recognize the state associa tions was very strong. Vote for Mclvln. A resolution introduced b George L. Hutchin, exalted lecturer and knight of tho Portland Lodge, was passed which re quested the representatives of the Oregon Elks at the grand lodge to vote for Judge Henry E. Melvin. of Oakland. CaL. for grand exalted ruler, with salary sufficient to warrant the devotion of all his time to the good of the order. The resolution also resolved that the grand lodge should create a position for Frederick Warde. to be known as grand csteened orator and lecturing knlsht in the field. It is the idea to have Mr. Warde travel about the country lecturing upon the order, expounding the principles of the order and the goodfcllowshlp that exists among all Elks. It is proposed to have the office sufficiently remunerative to warrant Mr. Warde in -making the up building of Elkdom a 11 rework. Those Who Spoke. Among those who made short addresses yesterday were Governor Chamberlain and President WrighUaaa. The latter voiced his appreciation of the high honor which had been bestowed upon him In electing him the head of the organiza tion. Governor Chanaberiala was not a candidate for rc-electioa.

MEETINGS FOR MEN Y.M. C. A. Arranges for Its Campaign Series. FOLLOWS EASTERN IDEA Instead of Clergymen, Professional aad Easiness Men Will So the Speakers at the Big 'Gatherings. ThreaxB the ialttaUve f the Yoeng ilea's Christian Association, a systematic campaign Id to he started, to held 4peda! religious meetings to reach the mea of Portland. The feature of the movement Is that the meetings are to be conducted by laymen. The ministers of the city are to share la the management n' the cam paign, but the speakers for the aewtotui will he choaea ahneat exclusively from the lawyers, doctors, merchants and fol lowers of other callings outside the clergy. Suggestions that such a movement "be started were made by Fred B. Smith. In ernatlonal secretary of the Y. j&. C. A-. while on his recent visit to Portland. He b.-ouAbt the Idea from the East, where it has been put to a practical teat In mrny cltl?s. and Is said to have produced great result.. Mr. Smith brought the matter to the attention of the ministers of the city, and a committee was appointed con sisting of one preacher from each denom ination and one laymen from each church. The committee held Its first meeting at the V. M. C A. building yesterday, when definite plans were formulated, and the meetings for men will soon be under way. Special Evangelistic 'Meetings. If the plan Is carried out there will be ascrics of special evangelistic meetings for men held In tents and In the open air throughout the city during the coming Summer. It Is possible that a worker from the East may come to Portland to address a portion of these meetings, but It Is more probable that the speakers will all be local men, and that few if any clergymen will participate. The more Immediate part of the plan, however. Is to begin a series of Sunday night mass meetings for men In the va rious churches of the city. The pastors of two cr three churches will be asked to give over their pulpits for this purpose each Sunday night, the places of meeting being changed each week. Many profes sional and business men have already sig nified their willingness to address these assemblages. All departments of the meetings will be conducted by laymen, the preachers who attend occupying seats In the audience. The first meeting of the series will be held one week from next Sunday night, hut the place has not yet been determined. It was Intended to begin the-scries in Al blna. but this has been changed, and the opening service will probably be held In one of the large churches on the West Side. The following Sunday, however, there will be two meetings In Alblna. one In the Forbes Presbyterian Church, and the other in the Third Baptist Church, Several Committeemen Chosen. At the meeting of the general commit tee yesterday. E. C Bronaugh was elect ed chairman, and Reno Hutchinson sec retary. It was decided to enlarge the committee, which will hereafter consist of the pastor and two laymen from each church. From this general committee an executive committee will be selectedcon sistlng of one pastor and one layman for each denomination. A portion of the committee has already been selected, as follows: Presbyterian. Rev. A. J. Mont gomery and E. C Bronaugh; Congrega tional. Dr. E. L. House and M. E. Thomp son: Episcopal. Rev. Robert Hopj aad George C Burton; Baptist. Dr. J. Whit comb B rougher: Cumberland Presbyte rian. Rev. E. Nelson Allen and R. R. Steele: Methodist Episcopal. Rev. W, HI Heppe and A. F. Flegel; Evangelical. Rev. Thedore Scbauer: Friends. Rev. E. H. Hadley; Christian. Rev. E. S.XuckIey and Walter Hanson. Invitations are being sent to all pasters not yet participating to Join the move ment, and to appoint two members of their congregation to serve oa the general commit tee. Arranges eats for the open ing meeting will be made by Dr. E. L. House. A- F. Flegel and B. S. Cook. Danage Salt Coapromlscil. The 9S damage suit of Charles F.
