UNHEALTHY COWS TABOOED' Sanitary Place for Herds,.V!ere Xo Diseased Aninuils liall Be Per luitted to Hoani. Is Suggestion Made to City of Portland. Conversion of Sauvies Island into a sani tary home for dairy htrds. wliere no un healthy animal hall' be permitted to go, is a plan that has been suggested by Dr. F. W. McClure, Inspector in charge of the United States" Bureau of Animal Industry for Oregon, Washington and Idaho, the purpose being to furnish for Portland a chance to get milk free from danger of tuberculosis. Er. McClure made his suggestion, while on a recent visit to Portland, to Dr. Robert C. Yenney, secretary of the State Board of Health, as well as to a num ber of others who had expressed an in terest in the protection of public health from dangerous milk. Dr. McClure's plan Is to have the Leg islature pass a special act, providing that the it-land shall lie made free from any kind of diseased animiil. and that there after every cow must have a clean bill of health ..before she is placed on the Island. ; " . Island Contains 25,01)0 Acres. Sttuvles Island contains about 25,009 acres,' according to a statement made at the United States Surveyor-General's office in this city, and eituated so near Portland that transportation of milk from it into the city would be convenient. It is divided into several large individual holdings. i It is believed that the only practicable I W3y to accomplish the plan suggested by ' Dr. Yenney, would be to get the land j owners on the island to indorse it and I to aid in getting the Legislature to make the laws necessary for the future protec- I tion of the dairy herds to be kept there. "I am heartily In favor of the plan," ' said Dr. Yenney yesterday, "for I think that it will not only give the people of Portland a chance to get good milk, but It will serve as an object lesson to dairy men in other places, who will he inspired to keep only healthy cows in order to compete in the sale of milk. Diseased Trees? Xo. W'liy Cows? "You would never see the people at Medford. for instance, permit a diseased tree to be brought into their locality, for tlie danger it would cause to their or chards. I-'or the same reason dairymen should form localities where their cows can be free from the infection of diseased animals." As yet the plaji is simply a suggestion, but there Is a feeling among those In terested In It, that an attempt will be made to have the matter properly laid before the next session of the Legislature.

First Menu a Burlesque, Ileal i'east Kollous Five Nationalities Are Represented. Captain E. S. Edwards, grand supreme knocker, of the Supreme Knockers of the Universe, called that august body to or der at 8 o'clock last night at the Perkins Grill. The occasion was the annual ban quet of the organization and was- fully attended. Captain Edwards, as supreme knocker, held the chair and all questions were up to him for final adjudication. The banquet proper was preoeded by a burlesque, which occasioned much merri ment. It was a severe shock to several members, who had fasted for hours in anticipation of a big feed at Captain Edwards' expense. Members were shown into a room at the Perkins, the furniture of which con sisted of a plain pine table and chairs. From the chandelier varied colored rib bons were festooned to chairs and each guest was placed according to his na tionality. The services opened by a prayer dedicated to the Knockers by Captain T. J. Macgenn read bv George F. Fuller. The menu was especially prepared to suit the tastes of the members and was prepared under the pysonal direction of E. E. Lytic As translated fro the French, it was as follows: Menu for the Irish. Potatoes -with Jackets on. nerved in large iron pot. Salt In small heaps at each place.. Buttermilk in wooden mugs. Xo plates, knives or forks. Colors for deco ration, .Irish green crepe paper. Menu for the Scotch. Thin oatmeal, served in large platters or soup plates. Scones and ice -water. Wooden spoons.

Buckley had pronounced benediction, adjournment was taken to another room and the banquet proper was served. Here the programme was re versed and the Knockers regaled them selves on viands succulent and beverages cooling. The toasts were burlesques and each member was called upon to speak on a topic foreign to his daily affairs and sphere of labor. The responses Were: J. P. O'Brien. "tVaterwavs and Steam boats." A. A.

MAGAZINES ARE WANTED Effect on Irrigation Projects Was to Keduee Proportion of Gam bling: and Drinking and Help Men Save. Word has come from W. H. Day, in ternational , railroad secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, in dicating that the work of the organi zation among-the laborers' now building two railroads into Central Oregon will be made permanent. The Portland Y. M. C. A. a week ago sent a large supply of magazines to the construction camps, but the new pan contemplates employ ment of a secretary toa spend all his time in working among the men in Des chutes Canyon. Mr. Day, writing from Chicago, says that M. C. Long has been chosen to take up this work and will - leave that city for Portland January 3. It Js ex pected that Mr. Long a few days later will go to the Deschutes and will re main there indefinitely, distributing mag azines among the men, holding Informal meetings In the construction camps and probably establishing Y. M. C. A. head quarters. More Magazines Wanted. John Decker, -who took the first install ment of magazines to the Deschutes dis trict, returned to Portland yesterday. The magazines, which weighed 1070 pounds, were left at Grass Valley and Shaniko. from where they will be hauled to the camps in which the workmen are quar tered. Mr. Day has requested the Port land Y. M. C. A. to send out a large quantity of magazines, in addition to those already forwarded, so that they may be available on arrival of Mr. Long. For this reason the Y. M. C. A is anx ious for the public to send in as many publications as possible. They will be received at the office in the X. M. C. A. building. In cases where It is not con venient to leave them there, the Y. M. C. A. will send for them if those willing to donate them will lephone the asso ciation. This work will be in line with that conducted by the Y. M. C. A. at Tieton Canyon and Bumping Lake in the Gov ernment irrigation projects, near North Yakima. These are the first Federal irrigation camps in which the Y. M. C. A. has worked, and its efforts there have been successful in every way, according to a formal report Just received by the Portland association. Men's Habits Improved. In both camps the Government pro vided large tents for the Si . M. C. A. workers.. Drinking and gambling were practically stopped and the men depos ited with the Y. M. C. A. secretaries large portions of their earnings, much of the money to be forwarded to their families. Before the advent of the Y. M. C. A. there practically all of the money had been spent for liquor. Charles H. Swlgart. Federal engineer in charge of all of the Irrigation work in Washington, said: . "From my observations and 1 the re ports that have been made to me, I am of the opinion "that the Y. M. C. A. work has been greatly appreciated by the la borers and mechanics employed by the Reclamation Service on the Tieton proj ect: that the establishment of a reading room and tent where evening entertain ments and gatherings could be held was of great benefit to the men and tended to give us a higher class of labor than we otherwise would have been able to hold. The work at Bumping Lake has been carried on nly during this sea son, and my reports from there are rath er meager. Still, on the whole. I be lieve that this work has been success ful and hope that we shall be able to maintain Y. M. C. A. tents next sea son." JUST AS WELL.

IAMES SELECTED BY CLERK Method Ileclarr-d by Committee to Violate Law List of Men Serving as Professional Jurors tn Last Year's Court Sessions. Despite the expressed desire of the jury committee of the Multnomah Bar Association to bs present at tlie drawing of the jury list for the State Circuit Court in Multnomah County during lt10. and the promise of the County Court to notify the attorneys of the time when these names would be drawn, th. entire list of 2O00 names? has bcn drawn by the County Court? order and was turned over to County Judge Webster and Com missioners Lightner and Barnes yester day morning, the Bar Association" not having bean notified. The Iis-t was drawn from the personal property taxroll in Assessor Sigiers office at the City Hall by Mists May L. Chalmers, one of County Clerk Fields' deputies. Mr. Fields said last night he felt eure there had been no "humbuggery" about the drawing of the list, a the deputy clerk was told to take a certain number of names at ran dom from each page of the roll. Miss Chalmers worked upon the list about a week. Mr. Fields said the personal nron- erty roll was used because many conk residents are included upon the real prop erty roll. criticisms Made by Committee. After 2000 names had been drawn, the lifrt was carefully checked up with pre vious jury lists in the County Clerk's office, to see that no juror drawn lost year was drawn again this year. The names of city and county employes were also checked off. There are now 1771 names on th-3 lift. This list may be further pruned by the members of the County Court. When this pruning pro cess commences the members of the jury committee of the Bar Association expect to be present. The jury committee points out that the law requires the County Court, not the County Clerk, to make the jury list from the assessment roll, and that the County Clerk must certify the list within ten days. It is also pointed out that the law requires the drawing of 600 names, not 2000. Further than this, the committee com plains that the County Court sometimes "dumps'" into the new jury list from 400 to 500 Jurors left over from the pre vious year. It objects to tlie names being drawn from the personal property roll, saying it wants' citizens on the jury, not "chairwarmers." Seqtidn 970 County- Court to ' make jury list: The Countv Court of each county shall, at the first term of each year, or In case of omission or neglect to do so. then at the following term, make from the last preceding assess ment roll of the county a list, de nominated the jury list, containing the names of persons to serve as grand and " trial jurors until the following year, or new lists be made. Section 971 Names to --be selected only of those qualified and liable: In preparing the jury list, the names of those persons only must be selected who are i known or believed to be possessed .. of the quallf iisttions pre scribed in Section 965, and not en titled to exemption as provided in Sec tion 966.' Section 966 exempts attorneys, minis ters, teachers, physicians. Federal em ployes and judicial or civil officers. Section 965 provides 'that "no person shall be summoned as a juror in any Circuit Court more than once in one year." Professional Jurors Picked Out. At Tuesday night's meeting of the Multnomah Bar Association at the Courthouse, the jury committee report ed that within the last year 86 special veniremen served on juries more than once.

Madame Sembrich makes records of her voice only for the Victor.- . You are invited to call and hear a few of them. They are reproduce'd Avith astounding fidelity. for. it is not to he supposed- they have been fixed. For instance I had a case some tim a?ro in which a party pued on a contract for $25,000. It was very evident that under the terms of the contract the plaintiff was entitled to the entire tlo.OOO. if he was entitled to anything at all. But the jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiff for $16,666.66. The jurymen had taken into consideration all the circumstances- of the making: of the. contract. and proceeded to do exact justice be tween man and man. They evidently went back of the contract and looked at the benefits the defendant had received under it. "I 1iad another case in which a arirl, under age, testified against" a man who was on trial, her testimony being corrob orated by that of witnefses who declared positively that he had confessed his crime of- his own volition. Yet the jury stood ssven for acquittal and five for convic tion. ' They evidently considered the pun ishment provided by the law too great for the-offenee which had been committed, and proceeded, as had the other jury, to do justice to the", state and the accused man ai, nearly as possible under the law. But If that had been a personal Injury case, there- might ha-ve been a wail of. 'bribery'- from counsel. "Another damage suit which was tried before me recently resulted In ten jurors agreeing on a moderate amount of dam ages, the other two holding out for a much greater amount. Had the defend ant been a -corporation and tlie case been reversed, the two jurors- holding out stubbornly for a low yerdict, there might have been complaint again that the jurors were paid to keep the. damages down. Manner of Drawing Jurors. "Aa to the manner m which the County Court has drawn the jury. I think there has been nothing wrong with it, - I be lieve the court has taken that matter -up in the ular course of its daily work." . I will try to explain to you - what I think is at the bottom of this entire out burst over the selection of jurors. - -"Several -years ago I drew a bill and presented it to the Legislature for pass age (and r' am very glad -now that it did not passj transferring, to the Circuit Judges the task of making up the Jury liEt. As presiding judge, I had found that a very, heavy oercentafcre of the iurors eubpenaed were -very busy, so that Tt was almost impossible for them to leave their daily tasks. Many were business men, whose attention was- needed to main tain the business. " One -and another would say, 'My work is such that it is almost impossible for me to act as a juror. But there is? Mr. A, who lives In the next block, he has a competency and has retired from business, so that he could ssrve upon the jury as well as not "VVhy don't you-subpena him.' "It was my object to secure fuch men as these upon the jury, to compose per haps a third of It, the .balance to be filled in with others from the taxroll. but as the bill was killed, nothing came of It. "Later, however. Judge Sears took It into his had to do the same thing and. going to the County Court, asked if he might draw the jury list. To this the County Court acqui?sced, and he worked at it one day, at odd moments. But" he discovered by that time that it was a huge task and. taking the whole thing to Sheriff Stevens, aeked him to do the work. This the Sheriff delegated to one of his deputies, and the list was after ward turned back to the County Court. "I do not think any jurors had been drawn except those entitled to serve, or that they were fixed by the 'interests.'
