The unemployed laborer's long talked-of demonstration .was made today and it was much akin to that memorable march of the King of France, who led 10.0CO men up the hill and then led them down again. Marshaled by the leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World, an or ganization which includes the unem ployed in its membership, about 6000 men marched up First avenue for several blocks and then debouched to the City Hall, where a call was made for the Mayor. Mayor Moore was on the spot that is, he reached the City Hall a little after the delegation and was in time to receive a committee which presented him with a memorial whicti demanded the feeding and sheltering of unemployed, a weekly allowance for men with families, the opening of all public work and the abolishment of the chain gang. " The Mayor submitted a letter a short time later In which he replied to the de mands by saying that the County Com missioners have devoted fciboo to feeding and sheltering the unemployed, that all public works provided for by approprla tioa are now under way, end that to do away with the chain-gang It will be necessary for the Council to stride the ordinance from the books. There was considerable muttering, a few threats of violence, but no untoward demonstration. A committee represent ing the men was present at the meeting of the Council tonight, but appeared fair ly well satisfied with the determination of that body to submit the demands to a committee.

Three years each in the penitentiary was the sentence Imposed upon Arthur Paine and Hrry Kelley by Judge Bean, this morning.

According to the evidence brought out at the trial, Paine and Kelley received no part of the $6.75 stolen, but merely stood by and watched another fellow take the money.

In that they visited the scene of the robbery during a recess in the trial. As the robbery took place in the re stricted district, the incident is the more interesting. The case against A. Perard. the sheep man who Is charged with stealing from a neighbor's Hock, owing to the prominence of the man accused, is regarded as the most important on the docket for this torm of court. The grand jury will make its final re port tomorrow. POWER PLANT ON WHITE RIVER Pacini; I'ou Company Announces Plans for Seattle Service. SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 20. (Spe cial.)

TEN DAYS TO FILL THE LIST Twice Defeated in Iieglslatur by Opposition From Thp Dalles, County Divislonlsts Make Ap peal to People of State. HOOD RIVER. Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.) After having been unsuccessful with a county division measure in the legis lature for the past two years, residents in the district designated as Cascade County, but which it has been decided shall be known as riood River County, are preparing to bring the matter up at the June election and submit it to the people direct. Several hundred petitions for this purpose were put in circulation today and are being taken to all sections of the state. Hood River, which would be the county seat of the new county In case it is created, is the center from which the movement is radiating, al though many Portland residents who own property at Hood River are actively interesting themselves in getting the matter before the people. In order to get the county question to a vote It will be necessary to secure 7500 signers be tween now and January 31, and al though Just launched today, the committee having the matter in charge have been assured of support from many sections of the state. As the last Legislature passed -a law making it necessary to pass a general law for the creation of new counties, and it is thought to be doubtful If this would be done by the next session of the State lawmakers, the measure is being brought before the voters under an amendment to the constitution specified in Section 2 of Article XI, which says: Corporations may be formed under gen eral laws, but shall not be created by the Legislative Assembly by special laws. The Legislative Assembly shall not enact, amend or repeal any charter or act of Incorpora tion tor any municipality, city or town. The legal voters of every city or town are here by, granted power to enact and amend their municipal charter, subject to the constitu tion and criminal laws of -the State of Oregon. As the above amendment was proposed and adopted under the initiative and ref erendum law of 1906, going into effect by the proclamation of the Governor June 25 of that year. It gives any municipality the right of submitting questions affect ing them to a direct vote of the people, provided a sufficient number of petition ers are secured. As the opposition to the creation of a new county from the. Western end of Wasco County has .heretofore largely come from The Dalles Influence In the Legislature it Is thought that if the re quired number of petitioners are secured it will be successful at the June elections.
