Job Compositors Will Be Given In crease to $25.50, Effective To day, for Concessions, It was announced yesterday by a repre sentative of the employing printers that the demand of job compositors for an in crease from $22.50 to $:5.50 in the scale of these employes will be granted, effective today. In thus boosting the compositors' scale, tfie employers will insist on some con cessions from their workmen. The em ployers declined yesterday to say what these concessions are, but it Is under stood a meeting will be held tonight for a final consideration of the subject. Last December the compositors notified the employing printers that beginning February 20, when the three-year con tract, under which they were then, work ing, expired, they wanted an advance of $3 a week in their scale. The employers offered to compromise on $24 a week, but this proposal was rejected and the mat ter referred by the compositors to the International Typographical Union officers for instructions. In the meantime the principal employing printers of the city decided, for the present, to grant the in creased wage, which will go Into effect this week. Lion Easier to Find Than Mouse in Portland rres Agent Han Practical Lesson In .Natural History. EVERYONE who has been downtown the last two days has, perhaps, seen the big lion In the window of a "promi nent store and the tiny mouse near by that are being used to advertise the popu lar show, and if one in the ordinary walks of life were suddenly asked which one he would rather undertake the .con tract for finding around Portland for the purpose, he would no doubt without hesi tation choose the' mouse. But experience is a good teacher, so thinks Walter Reed, advertising manager for George L. Baker, to whose lot it naturally fell to secure both for the liv ing picture. Reed tackled the big end of It first, as he supposed, and, feeling like a real ex-president, mustered his retinue and sallied forth to the old Exposition grounds, where it had been reported that a large, ferocious King of Beasts had his haunts among the ancient ruins. The splendid specimen was soon a helpless victim of the hunters' prowess, and Mr. Reed returned triumphant to report a successful capture. "And now for the mouse," said Man ager Baker, after due congratulations. "Oh, that's easy," replied the hunter, with a tinge of scorn. He sallied forth a second time, but with a feeling that his dignity had been offended by his being assigned to so easy a task. There were rats to be caught almost any place, and one has heard so much of the troubles caused by mice but where, now that one was really wanted where? He thought and figured, asked everyone he knew, set traps around, asked all his f riends-j-men and women and the best he got was a lot of attempts to be funny at his expense many of them succeeding, too and yet no nearer obtain ing the much-coveted creature. That night he was desperate. He had eight traps set around In the stores and homes of friends, but a farewell round of them failed to show any game, and he went home discouraged. In the morning he was pale and worried. Three days and nights of toil and worry were begin ning to tell upon him, and this was the day. his lion was to be placed in the window. He was hurrying up Second street with the air of a defeated champion when, passing a Chinese shop, he saw In a wire cage inside several white mice. There was no color line In this mouse hunt, and as the ancient fable failed to designate any particular shade or com plexion attached to the mouse that gnawed the lion free, he decided right there that it must have been a white mouse, and a few minutes later sauntered Into Manager Baker's office with one in a paper sack. "Look! What made it white?" asked Mr. Baker. "Why. it is a white mouse that's the kind you've got to have," said Walter. "Of course, if you want just a common mouse " he began. "Oh, no. we want the real thing." "Sure, that's what I thought." FURNITURE BUSINESS FOR SALE.

Transportation Facilities Will Also lie Better. Five of the most famous bands in the world will be heard in concert at the Oaks during the coming Summer, the details having been definitely completed yesterday by John F. Cordray, president of the United Amusement Company, which holds a five-year lease on the popular resort. The organizations which will appear between May and October will be Ellery'e. which was the musical feature of the Lewis and dark Exposi tion; Libera tl' s, which, with its famous director, is probably the most widely-advertised band in the United States as well as one of the best; the American Band and Orchestra of Providence, which has bee-n for many years the leading band of Xew England and by such lead ers as John Philip Sousa and the late Patrick Gilmore declared to be the best street band in the country; the celebrated De X-evassa women's band of 44 pieces the largest feminine organization In the world; Ferullo's. whose director was a gTeat favorite here during the exposi tion as leader of Ellery's Band and who has now a splendidly successful band of his own, and the. Don Phillipini, the bril liant Spanish organization now touring this country. From May 30 to September 30 there will be daily concerts the dates selected being as follows: May SO to June 26, Liberati's; June 27 to July 5. the American; July 6 to July 17, Don Phillipini; July IS to August 10. the De Xavassa; August 11 to 31, Ferullo's, and from September 1 to 30, Ellery's. This array of talent will eclipse anything ever heard in a single season in the West and will necessitate the expendi ture of $50,000. A handsome auditorium will be erected for the concerts as they must te consecutive, there being no opportunity for postponement on account of unfavorable weather. "I'm going to give the people of Ore gon the musical feast of their lives," said Mr. Cordray yesterday, "and If they don't" appreciate it I shall be greatly disap pointed in my judgment as to their good taste. Xo such season of band music was ever offered a Western city. I'm so confident that I know what the people We Have Fine Positions For Two A-i Salesmen Guarantee that you can learn the line from our expert in forty-eight hours, so you'll un derstand it sufficiently to sell, if you are a Salesman.

"Nervous Case" Causes Stir in Hospital Yonnar Woman Patient Scatters Tal cum Over Invallda. THE LIGHTS were turned low. The beds In the long ward showed in dim white blotches. - The only sound was the soft patter of the night nurse's shoes In the distance. The time was 2 o'clock yesterday morning; the place the Good Samaritan Hospital. Before anyone thought of the girl a woman in the ward felt her hair stand on end as a white figure stood over her, watched her a moment, then deluged her with talcum powder. Too horrified to move, the woman watched the apparition slip from bed to bed. deluging each patient with the powder. There was a succession of rings that brought a much-agitated nurse. The white-garbed figure was plain and the nurse, too, was perhaps a lit tle frightened; yet even if her knees did shake, she went boldly up to the ghost-like creature. The mystery was explained. The apparition was a young woman patient from a private room. "Nervous case. Gave her hypodermic tonight," gave the clue to the mystery when the nurses gathered to talk things over.
