HOME CLUBS ARE STARTED
Y. M. C. A. Takes l"p Extensively

Organisation of boys' clubs to meet at
the homes of the boys Is a work that
has Juat been undertaken by the Port
land Younsj Men's Chrlattan Assocta-
tlon. Ueneral Seeretary Stone and J.
C. Clark, head of the boy a" department.
rrajard It as one of the moat Important
steps the association has taken and ex
pect to continue forming these clubs
until they are scattered throughout the
entire city.
The first club of tills kind haa Juat
been organised at Sunnyslde. Several
other auburba have applied to the T.
M. C. A. to take up the work and three
renursta are. to be granted Just ai
rapidly as possible.
-These clubs." said Mr. Stone yester
;-. "are of untold benefit. They take
hold ot the boy Juat at the time he Is
breaking; away from home tlra and pro
p's entertalnmept for him at his own
t'rnie and at the homes ot hie associ
ates. Attendance at these elub meet'
Inaa la certainly better for the boy
than the alternative, whereby be is
lerc to entertain nimseir as ne will
about the city."
The general Interest In boys' clubs
Is shown by the fart that the V. M. C.

to form these organisations Rose City

TAKE WOMAN IN DISGUISE

Caught Printing on Street.
lreaaetl In full masculine garb and
drinking openly on the street from a
bottle of whisky. Jessie Hamilton, aged
who aays that ahe la a school
teacher from Montana, was arrested by
Patrolman Whitesklrs Just after day
licht yesterday at Fourteenth and
riurnble streets. In company with Ce
cil G. afelvltle. a stonecutter. The pair
said that they had apent the night
stumming.
The attention of the officer was at
tracted to the masquerader and her
companion at Fourteenth snd Wash
ington streets, and he followed them
northward. He saw Melville band a
bottle to his companion, from which ahe
drank. Thinking that the whisky was
being given to a boy. WhllealJes ad
vanced and flashed hie pocket light in
the drinker's face, whereupon he dis
covered a woman In disguise. Her hair
waa colled up under her hat. Both
were placed under arrest.
The woman said that sue lived at US
Couch street. Ball of S3 waa deposited
by each of the prisoners, and they left
the station before more could be
learned concerning them. When their
rases were called In Municipal Court
fier failed to appear, and the ball was
declared forfeited.
It w?!l contain 11 spans, nine being 250
feet each; the West Htae span zi ieei
and the East Slue. 110 feet.
The draw span will be S feet long and
will be a lift-draw like the one on Haw
thorne bridge.
In the clear the bridge will be 60 feet
wide.
Unlike the apana of eie Morrison and
Hawthorne bridge these will be sup
ported by Pratt trusses from below the
deck of the bridge, so the bridge will
look like a paved street, or like the
structures across tullivans Gulch.
On the West Side the landing will be
made on Water and Mead streets' and
there will be a steel viaduct between the
river and the landing.

Engineers of the U. R. sTe N. Co. and
others Inspected the plans and pro
nounced them worthy.
"We have arrived at a time when
bridges across the Willamette must be
the best, permanent In character, eco
nomically constructed. The viaduct on
the West Side might be cheapened by
using plleav but that would be tem
porary. Engineer Morris was asked as to the
probable coat, but he declined to give
estimates. .
"I jrould not guess at the cost, he
declared, "until the details have been
worked out. A thousand and one things
mut be considered, which includes the
bridge Itself, rights of way. and other
things, but the bridge will coat consid
erable money, as the point spanned Is a
wide portion of the river."
"We hope the bridge won't cost above
n.mo.om." a member of the committee
said.. Morris smiled snd did not reply.

Promoter .Expects to Have Factory
In Operation Early In Year and
to Employ at Least 50 Men
by Xext June.
Organising a company with a capital!
cation of tSO.000 for the purpose of man
ufacturing uniforms and creating an ex
tensive general suit order business.
Charles Coopey, a local merchant tailor,
believes he will be able to build up an
Industry which will supply the needs of
the. three Northwest states, and incl
dentally save In the aggregate large
sums of money to buyers of uniforms
snd suits of Oregon. Washington and
Idaho. The company was Incorporated
Monday by Charles Coopey. J. R. Coopey,
Fred Mailer and W. Y. Masters.
Mr. Coopey announces that he will be
ready soon to give out the details of his
extensive plans. He has sufficient back
ing, he says, to aasure the success of the
undertaking.
"There are thousands of men em
ployed In various pursuits In the North
west who require special kinds of uni
forms, said Mr. Coopey. "these men
. must necessarily buy their' uniforma In
the. East as there are no houses in the
North wet where adequate supplies are
curried for this kind of trade. In Port
land alone, the men employed by the
streetcar company, intcrurban lines and
railroads will easily number 1600. Thoir
uniforms are purchased every year from
Kastem houses.
"One can readily aee that the local de
mand Is large. Rut by extending the
field to cover the three Northwest states.
It Is apparent that the possibilities sr
attractive for this line of business.
"Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
sent out of this part of the country an
nually for uniforms, regalia and kindred
apparel.- A good establishment In fort
land could get the bulk of this trade.
"It Is my WW that we could keep
right here in Oregon the first year fc0,
Oto which otherwise would go to the Kast
for uniforms and clothing of the kind
that we propose to make, and there Is no
reason why this amount should not he
Increased year by year. It is my hope
to mako Portland a clothing center, as It
Is now becoming a furniture center. We
expect to get Into operation by Uie mid
dle of January and by June at least 60
people should beemployel in our factory.
The demand for uniforms in Portland,
which is already large.. Is increasing
every day. and orders from all over the
Northwest come to my house In this city.
What Is needed to reduce the cost to
purchasers-is ability to carry a large
stock of goods and standardization of
methods of jiroductlon. Where it now
costs pi to make a coat, giving the work
to one man. we could reduce that cost
to W.50 If we could let six men work on
the coat, having each workman perform
the operation that he Is most expert at.
That Is the secret of successful manu
facture In any line and It applies to the
manufacture of clothing as perhaps It
coes to nothing else.
Several prominent business men have
declared themselves greatly pleased over
the launching of this enterprise and say
It deserving of most cordial support.
There Is -such a wide variety of classes
of occupation where uniforms are re
quired that the business of supplying
them Is already Important and Is becom
ing more so. Among tlicm I may men
tion steamwhlp and riverboat officers,
railroad and streetcar employes, elevator
operators, hotel employes. Army. Navy,
National Guard, military academies, war
veteran policemen and firemen, uniform
ranks of lodges, messenger boys, serv
ants In liveries, basiball players, and) so
on. Thore Is scarcely any end." .
Mr. Coopey has been a resident af Port
land for 19 years and has manumctured
most of the uniforms ever made In Ore-
:
Mr, uoopf y pians to manuiaciurw
woolen fabrics and watr-proof cloth, la
addition to the uniforms and general
clothing for men and women.

Olson In Doubt as to Legality of
Own Action ClcrlL Suggests
Amended Law.
Justice of the Peace Olson haa tied
a marrUfce knot, which, after five
months, la looked upon as a tangle
that the State Circuit Court may be
called upon to unravel.
In a nutshell. Magistrate Olson mar
ried In Oregon a couple to whom li
cense to wed waa Issued In Washing
ton. County Clerk Fields contends
that the marriage Is Illegal. Judge
Olson says lie la not certain of the
law.
The license was Issued July 14 by
the Auditor of Yakima County, Wasti
to Alfred r. Lyons, of Linn County,
Or., and Miss KuUla O. Lewis, of Yaki
ma. The couple sped to Portland July
If and Judse Olson performed the
ceremony In the presence of W. E. Kil
man and Edward J. Davey. The docu
ment reached County Clerk Fields on
Its official round, and Is filed for ref
erence In esse a suit ensues.
A Portland clergyman recently mar
ried a couple under the aame condi
tions, and upon being Informed by
Mr. Fields that the ceremony probably
was void the minister experienced con
consldrrable difficulty. He found the
couple after search lasting several days
and a new ceremony in the home state
and county of the contracting persons
was required to legalize the union.
County Clerk Fields Is preparing
marriage statistics to guide him In
framing a more stringent law against
the performance of marriage ceremo
nies by magistrates and clergymen In
counties where neither the bride nor
bridegroom resides. He declares that
such a meaaure Is required to keep
atate- and county records clear, and
afms to .submit a bill covering thla
point to the next Legislature.
As the law now atands It is stipu
lated merely that ministers and mag
istrates shall file returns of weddings
performed, but no penalty la attached
for violation of the statute. The bill
in view will contain a penalising
clause.

Teachers Want Certificates Good
Throughout I nlon.
The annual con-sentlon of County
School Superintendents of Oregon met
in Jefferson High School yesterday and
was called to order at 10 o'clock by
J. II. Ackerman, State Superintendent.
E. F. Carleton, Assistant Superinten
dent, was elected secretary.
The most Important business of the
day was a.dlscussion of resolutions
adopted by the conference of State Su
l perintendents- held at Salt Lake City,
November 17, 18 and 19.
The aim of these resolutions is to
adopt a standard of certification,
whereby a teacher may, after securing
a life certificate in one state, have it
indorsed in any state in the Union.
The convention here approved of the
resolutions adopted there.
Other topica discussed were teach
ers' institutes, and inspection of schools
by county superintendents. At the
convention a year ago it was decided
to make a campaign for better sanitary
conditions in the schools. It developed
today that In many counties during
1910 superintendents have been able to
abolish the common drinking-cup and
to have an effective plan of ventilation
adopted. -
Besides the county superintendents,
there were at the convention: L. R.
Alderman, State Superintendent-elect;
Father Galagher, president of Colum
bia University; P. L. 'Campbell, presi
dent of the State University; Fletcher

ROSE CITY WORLD MECCA
COMPROMISE NOW PUN
PROPERTY OWXERS OX HALL
STREET OPPOSE ASSESSMEXT.
Should City Decline to- Agree With
Citizens Courts Will Be Asked
to Settle Dispute. ,
Property-owners on Hall street, who
have been opposing - the assessment
against their property of more than
$30,000 as the result of a contract let
for about $13,000, decided atga meeting
held In the City Hall yesterday after
noon to agree to a compromise with the
city ffr a payment of 33 1-3 per cent
In advance of their contract price. In
case the city refuses to agree to such
a compromise the committee appointed
to oner It will take steps to have the
courts decide If they are legally re
sponsible for the price charged.
The City Engineer has explained that
the excessive cost of the work was due
to more excavation and concrete work
being necessary than was 'originally
outlined in his estimate. The property-
owners Insist that if they had been i:
formed that the contract price won I
be almost three times that for which
the contract was let, they would have
gone, to the Council and opposed the
Improvement. They feel that they have
been Injured by the action of the city,
and at the meeting yesterday made it
evident that they would not, under any

pefca, Kan., it was unanimously decided
Portland should have the next conven

gathering the most Interesting and profit

Conventions of this character, not only
help In a commercial way, but stimulate
