LABOR TROUBLES
DO NOT THREATEN
Only Few Spots Where Strikes
May Disturb Harmony
of Portland.
CARPENTERS NOT TO FIGHT
Plumbers and Electrical Workers
Alone Have Disputes Unions
Are Absorbed In Initiative of
Employers' Liability Bill.
All labor troubles In Portland will
come to a crisis May 1. On next Mon
day, if there are to be any strikes or
walk-outs, they will materialize then.
Information grained at the Labor Tem
ple yesterday and last night from the
business agents of the various trade
unions was to the effect that there will
be no trouble, aa it is believed all de
mands and disputes can be settled am
icably. For the past three months trouble
has been brewing in the industrial life
of the city. These troubles will end in
a partial victory for both employers
and employes. The "closed shop," for
which a fight has been waged, is re
garded as lost to the unions. On the
other hand, there has been a general
increase in nearly all of the wage
ecalcs.
At a meeting last night of the Car
penters' Union, representing about 1000
members, it was voted "not to strike."
The principal demand of the carpen
ters has been for a "closed shop." This
idea has been abandoned as well as the
Increase in the wage scale agitated
Eome weeks ago.
Only Two Signs of Trouble.
In only one or two of trte building
trades unions, around which the storm
of agitation centered, is there any like
lihood of trouble. The Journeymen
plumbers and electrical workers have
both made demands for increased
wages. . It .is believed these will be
granted, and that further trouble will
not result. If they are not, the men
firmly declare they will strike. In the
case of the Journeymen plumbers, a
strike might be disastrous to building
activities in the city.
According to Information at the La
bor Temple last night, the dispute be
tween the journeymen and the master
plumbers is to be settled between the
individual employers and the men em
ployed by them. The plumbers want
$6 a day instead of $5, and Saturday
afternoon off. In several instances, it
was said, this has already been granted.
The electrical workers have asked for
an increase from $3.50 a day to $ 1.
It is believed this will be granted. If
it is not a strike may result.
Lathers, plasterers, ironworkers,
hoisting engineers, machinists and
painters have all been granted in
creased wages. The severest defeat
was sustained by the carpenters, who
realized the weakness of their own or
ganization and voted for peace. Out
of about 5000 carpenters in the city
only about onefifth belong to the
.union. To offset this condition in the
'future, an organization campaign is
being conducted. ' Scores are taken in
at every meeting. Last, night .more
than 100 new members were added to
the union.
Labor leaders say till? is true of
all other unions in the city and, in
fact, the entire state. It is proposed
to organize thoroughly all trades in
Oregon and within the next two years
make a fight for the "closed shop" in
all of them, according to a statement
last night by an official of the State
Federation of Labor.
Unions Fight for Liability Bill.
The principal fight now being con
ducted by the unions is on the lia-1
bility law proposed by them through
the initiative and which will be sub
mitted to the voters of the state at the
Fall elections. Half a dozen men are
busy sending out literature to voters.
A little booklet has been printed, con
taining the arguments In favor of its
adoption, and is being sent to every
minister. In this way it is sought
to enlist the sympathy of church peo
ple in their cause.
The hill proposed by the Oregon Era
ployers" Association which shall ellmi
'.nate the bad features of the present
proposed by the unions, will be fpught
to the end. according to Secretary J.
C. Cassldy, of the Oregon Federation
of Labor, who has direct charge of the
campaign.
"We already have over 8000 signers
to our petition," said Mr. Cassidy. "We
are, however, going to secure 20,000."
Brewery Men Organized.
What is held to be one of the most
fcignal victories of the unions Is in the
case of the brewery workers. The Na
tional organizer has been in the city
several weeks and before leaving yes,
terday announced that the men have,
been organized and have been granted
an incrase in wages of $:s per week.
" According to H. J. Parkinson, editor
of the Labor Press and executive com
mitteeman of the Carpenters' Union,
there has never been any real likeli
hood of a general fight for the "closed
shop," "It has been largely a matter
of .'talk.'" he said. "We don't want
any trouble and the legitimate em
ployers do not.
"The case of the streetcar men has
been the cause of considerable of this
talk. These men were unable to or
ganize because the people, in power
had too strong a hold on them."
VALLEY OF ROGUE VISITED
(Continuod from First Pane.)
eon, president of the Commercial Club.
In the anteroom, punch made from the
mineral waters that gush from springs
in the city was served.
Here some of the Portland speakers,
impressed by the possibilities of the
Rogue River Valley as a drawing factor
upon the tourist travel of the country,
urged a united campaign for better roads
throughout the state. Dr. Andrew C.
Smith opened the subject by advocating
an amendment to the constitution that
would permit the counties to bond them
selves for good road work and the etate
to assist them.
Dr. Smith I'ropnses Itoad Funds.
He proposed a plan whereby the state
would bear one-third of the expense, the
county one-third and the property bene
fitted the other third, ail the money
to be secured by the issuance of bonds.

roads movement was indorsed by Wil
liam McMurray. general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific, and by

QUICK PROFIT IS MADE
COllXKK 1AKK AM) SALMON
SELLS FOIl $85,000.
Sixty Days Ago, M. V. Hunt Pur
chased Property for $B3,000,
Paying Down $10,000.
Large and quick profits were ob
tained by M. W. Hunt, of the Portland
Flouring Mills Company, in the sale
yesterday of a quarter block at the
northeast corner of Park and Salmon
streets. This corner, 100x100, was sold
to a local investor yesterday for $S5,
000. -
Only 60 days ago Mr. Hunt purchased
this corner for $65,000, making a pay
ment of $10,000. Yesterday he sold for
$85,000, with a. cash payment of $30,
000, reaping a clear profit of $20,000, or
200 per tent in the 60 days on his $10,
000 investment.
The property is at present occupied
by three old frame houses, bringing in
a monthly rental of $100. The new
buyer is said to be a woman investor,
who will Improve the property with a
modern building. The sale was made by
Vanduyn & Walton, representing the
seller, and' Mrs. C. H. Parks, represent
ing the buyer.
This sale is indicative of the recent
sharp rise in realty values along the
Park streets south of Morrison street.
In all the buying of late there has
been no section of the city in which
the trading has been more active.
HUGHES CONFIRMED SOON
Senate Also alls Name of General
Henry for Customs Surveyor.
WASHINGTON", April 26. Senate
committees now have in custody the
nomination of two important officials
of New York, drafted by President
Taft, for the service of the United
States. The nomination of Governor
Charles K. Hughes to be Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States in place of the late David
J. Brewer, awaits the report of the
committee on judiciary.
The nomination of Adjutant-General
Nelson Henry to be Surveyor of Cus
toms in place of General Clarkson at
the Port of New York is in the hands
of the committee on commerce.
It was an interesting coincidence
that brought the apopintment of these
two New Yorkers to the Senate on the
same day. Governor Hughes and Gen
eral Henry are dps prsonal frinds and
it is known the indorsement of Gov
ernor Hughes was virtually the decjd
Ing factor in the appointment of Gen
eral Henry.
There seems no doubt of the prompt
confirmation of the appointments.
HOT WATER SCALDS FACE
Cook Arrested Charged - With Dis
figuring Waitress.
Chargd with throwing a cupful of
holliiig hot water Into the face of, Mis
Carrie Bradley, a waitress, Monday night,
Frank Ricter. a cook, was arrested last
night on a warrant by Constable Wagner.
In default of J-JSO bail he was locked up
In the County Jail.
According to Miss Bradley, whose face
was terribly scalded by the water, she
threw some bread crumbs out of her
cup of tea on Bradley and he retaliated
by throwing the water in her face. Both
were seated at the dining table late
Monday evening in the Gilliam boarding
house. 55 North Eighteenth street, where
they were employed. While Miss Bradley
was out. someone placed the bread
crumbs in her tea. She suspected Ricter
of it and with a spoon, dipped them out
and threw them on him.
The complaint uion which the warrant
was issued, was signed by Rowland Hill
IBradley, a nephew of the woman, em
ployed by the Yale Iaundry.

VICTORY OF BULLS
GIVEN BY'STOBM
Cotton Deal Triumphs Wher
Widespread Damage to
Crop Is Reported.
IMMENSE STOCK GATHERED
Bull Clique May Extend Deal Over
to Xext Season Southern Fail
ure Has Little Effect and the
Close Is at the Highest.
NEW YORK, April 26. Not since
the big break of January last has the
New York Cotton Exchange Been so
much activity and excitement as yester
day. It was a time of triumph for the
bulls, whose already strengthened po
sition as regards the old crop was sen
sationally stimulated by the reports of
disastrous weather In the South.
This led to rumors that the bull cam
paign was to be carried on throughout
the end of the current se""? ind pos
sibly Into early new crop deliveries,
as in the season of 1902-03, when, after
Sully's successful deal In May con
tracts, Messrs. Brown & Hayne, who
are prominently mentioned in connec
tion with the present bull movement,
carried the bull campaign through Into
July, August and September.
It is argued that, even if the-South
finds enough seed to replant the en
tire area reported damaged, the cold
snap has made it look like a late crop
and that mills shortly will have to
depend on old crop supplies for a long
period.
Enormous Deliveries Made.
Preparations for enormous deliveries
on May contracts are steadily going
forward. It is said that the New York
Cotton Exchange had a larger force of
men engaged in preparing cotton for
delivery Sunday than ever before
and, according to the official figures,
the stock of certificated cotton at New
York, which was reported as 87,000
bales toward the end of March, had
mounted up to 151,000 bales by the close
of business on Saturday, with predic
tions that between 180,000 and 200,000
bales would be ready for delivery by
May 1. Moreover, the May shorts have
until the end of May to secure cotton
for deliver on contract.
So far as the market learned, noth
ing further developed during the day
In respect to the Federal grand Jury
proceedings against the bull clique,
nor were there further disclosures with
reference to the affairs of Knight,
Yancey & Co. According to latest re
ports New York firms are credited to
the extent of over 600,000. It is ru
mored firms that had sold May against
shipments expected here from the
failed Southern houses are finding lit
tle difficulty In adjusting their con
tracts around present prices, and that
they will be out little more than their
actual advances If the cotton does not
materialize.
Damage Iteports Come In Flood.
Seldom has such a flood of crop dam
age reports poured into the local trade
from so wide an area as yesterday and
for the time being it seemed the ex
citement in the new crop months was
overshadowing the old crop situation,
possible legislation at Washington, the
Government Investigation or even the
failure.
Damage complaints from the South
were in many instances accompanied
by southern buying orders and almost
all the fresh buying for long account
was said to be for new crop delivery.
It was believed around the local ring
the bull leaders were selling the near
position at times during the day to
prevent too rapid an advance, or to
reduce their holdings, and it was the
new crop that chiefly reflected the
broadening of bullish sentiment.
Market Closes at Highest.
October cotton sold at 12.94, or 57
points above the close of last Satur
day, while May touched 14.92, or a
gain of only 21 points from the clos
ing price of last week. The market
closed at practically the best point of
the day so far as the new crop was
concerned, and trading during the last
half hour was probably the most active
of the entire session.
The opening advance In the New
York market was greatly encouraged
by the strength of Liverpool, which
had received reports before trading
here started.
WOMEN. AROUSE SEASIDE
Plan to Perfect Trail to Tillamook
Head Summit Causes Action.
SEASIDE, Or., April 26. (Special-)
The threat of the Lady Maccabees to per
fect a- trail to the summit of Tillamook
Head, and thereby reap the laurels for
the work, has aroused the Commercial
Club to Immediate action. A large dele
gation from the club yesterday went over
the proposed route of the trail and have
decided on the amount of work and cap
ital necessari to carry out the scheme.
A compromise has been effected be
tween the club and the women, whereby
the latter will furnish a lunch for the
band of workers who have been enlisted
to perform the task of completing the
trail. The band is made up of business
men and others, each of whom has do
nated a day's labor on the construction
work. Much bridging will be necessary
and the problem of getting the lumber
over the trail as fast as the men will
need it is yet unsolved. It has been pro
posed that the timber along the trail
be utilized for this purpose, and the plan
may be adopted.
THE DALLES FEELS HEAT
Sunday Was Warmest April Day In
habitants Remember.
THE DALLES. Or.. April 26. (Spe
cial.) Yesterday the thermometer
reached 90 degrees above, the hottest
April day that was ever experienced
in The Dalles. Today the maximum
temperature was 78 degrees above and
minimum 50 above. In the afternoon a
cooling west wind blew, but brought
with it clouds of dust, which fairly
obscured the sun.
NEW PRICE SET FOR CLUB
Tacoma Man Buys 10,000 Bushels
at 7 2 1-2 Cents.
WALLA WALLA, Wash.. April 26.
(Special.) A record for club wheat
was made here today, when D. H. Cox.
representing a Tacoma firm, purchased
10.000 bushels at 12hi cents per bushel.
The farmers of this section believe
that the former high price will not be

1,000,000 bushels of wheat are still In
storage in this county.

EASTERN OREGON FIGHT ON
Pacific & Eastern Road to Be
Pushed Electric Line Soon. .
MEDFORD, Or., April 26. Special.)
John R. Allen, capitalist, has arrived
from New York. He is pleased with the
progress made in the construction of
the Pacific & Eastern Railroad, which
he bought a year ago, and announces
that the road will be pushed over the
Cascades into Eastern Oregon.
Mr. Allen states that the construc
tion on the new electric road will be
gin in the near future. The franchise
for this road was granted by the Med
ford City Council the first of the year,
and it only lacks the granting of a
franchise by the Council in Ashland to
make absolutely sure of the' construc
tion of an electric line from Grants
Pass to Ashland. The line will be
equipped to carry both passengers and
freight, and a heavy standard guage
rail will- be used. -

Irvington
There has never been before, and there never
tvill be again an opportunity to buy Irvington
lots on such easy terms as we are selling.
You will never have another opportunity to
buy Irvingtpn property at such low prices,
either. If you buy a lot this week you will save
$200 right away. . .
This is the last week at present prices. Values
are growing daily. The Fiftenth-street exten
sion of the Irvington carline is going-to cause
the prices on the lots blocked off on the map of
Irvington to double.
The prices we are asking are far too low.
In all other parts of Irvington prices are much
higher. This section is the finest improved
residence section of Portland. Every possible
improvement has been completed. Asphalt
paved streets throughout the entire section;
likewise, wide cement sidewalks; parkings 9V-
feet wide; large sewers, water-and gas mains";
telephones and electric lights.
Most people buy to build a home. This sec
tion is but one block from the Irvington School
it is only 12 minutes' ride from Fifth and
Washington cars run every five minutes all
day long. The additional car service from the
Fifteenth-street extension of the Irvington line
will cause prices to double in this section. Work
is under way and cars will be running this
Summer.
Come out to our Irvington office today. Pick
out your lot at once and save that $200. Buy
right away so as to reap your profits when the
values double. A small amount down and a
little each month carries your lot for you till
you get it paid for or you wish to sell and take
your profits.
Take Woodlawn or Alberta car at Fifth and
Washington. Get off at Knott. Walk one block
east and you are at the lots and our office. Mr.
Mumford is in charge and is there every dav
until 6 P. M.

raraEta?lMTHaR MONEY TO YOU
OTHELLO is the coming "Bisr Town" on the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound Railroad, in the Inland Empire.
It is the center of the great fanning region of the Big Bend Coun
try, the Moses Lake Country and the Crab Creek Country.
It is a Shipping Point, a Division Point and a Wholesaling Point.
OTHELLO offers the greatest opportunities today for the investor,
small or large, who will get hold of some city property while it may be
had at "ground floor" prices. The advances in values will amaze even
those who have seen the growth of the cities of Spokane, North Yakima
and other Eastern Washington Cities.
OTHELLO is on the new railroad, in a new country a richer, bet
ter country than any of the older ones.
Lots in Othello may be had now at from .Tlo0 to $400. You will
not be able to buy centrally located lots in Othello a year from today
for anything like this figure.
You can buy NOW on easy monthly payments. Let your money
double, while you are investing it a little at a time.
Call at our offices, or write for illustrated booklet, giving full in
formation regarding the city of OTHELLO.. Do not wait to do this
those who miss good chances generally miss them by waiting.
