PRINTERS GRANTEOWAGE
EMPLOYERS YILIj BOOST SCALE
$3 IX POIETLAXD.
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."

5 BANDS SECURED
Manager Cordray Spends
$50,000 for Music at Oaks.
RESORT MUCH IMPROVED
Amusement Feature Will Be More
Elaborate Than ' Ever Before.
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

TRAMP . ROBS SAMARITAN
Patrick Daa Awakes in Dewey House
Minus Shoes and Cash.
Minus his shoes and $100. all the
money he possessed, Patrick Daa,
a railroad laborer, awoke yesterday
morning in the Dewey House, 26
Xorth Third street.
Daa met a hungry tramp on the street
Saturday night and after treating him
to several drinks and a good supper,
generously offered to share his bed
with him. The tramp arose early and
when Daa awoke some time later found
that he had been robbed.
He told the police that the tramp
answered to the name "Scotty."
"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.

The cost of Interments have been

Heretofore it baa been the custom of
funeral directors to make charges for
all Incidentals connected with a fu

rectors of Portland, have departed from
that custom. When casket Is furnished
by us we make no extra charges for
embalming, hearse to cemetery, outside

of S25 to $75 on each funeral.
