MESSENGER BOYS
FEEL HOLIDAY RUSH
Duties at Christmas Time Are
Trebled but Work Is
Done With Cheer.
QUEER REQUESTS MADE
Yonllis Asked to Act Part of Kris
' Krlngle, lcllTcr Christmas Din
ners and Perform Other
. Unexpected Errands.
'Each In his time plays many parts.'
aid Shakespeare. Had messenger
" boys lived In those days doubtless the
poet would have written an ode about
them. too. for an observant stranger,
entering- the offices of any one of the
various companies, could not- have
failed to be struck with the diversity
of duties that these boys are called
upon to perform.
And at Christmas time ' their work
Is trebled, while the variety Increases
In the same ratio.'
The City Messenger Company has had
to double its staff and yesterday it
. had 73 boys at work. 20 of them with
motor cycles. And the things they were
asked to do, the packages they were
asked to carry, the hours and the places
at which they had to deliver messaftes
would have led to a blunt refusal if the
ordinary citizen had been asked to act.
A man walked .In yesterday with a
huge Christmas tree. He wanted it de-
llvered In Alblna and he wanted it sent
out quickly. The bell sounded and a
boy appeared from nowhere.
"Can you possibly take this out at
oneeT
Sure." And with that monosyllable
he wheeled his motor cycle out, and
dexterously balancing; - the evergreen
mass upon the machine, he was on.
Meawutr 1b Santa's Role.
Hardly had he departed when a call
came in for a messenger boy to play
Santa Claus last night. His orders
were to present himself at the door
of a certain house where he -would be
haaded some packages and a dlngulse.
Then he was to climb in through the
.. window.
The bigger boys are always picked
out for this, and one who had the duty
to perform last year smiled at the re
membrance. "One place the kids just screamed
.when they saw me," he said, "but then
the next place they Just crawled all
over me. Human . nature's different, 1
guess."
. The boys see more of theloy and the
tragedy of life at this season, too, than
at all others. "One night a. telegram is
delivered to say that some member of
the family will be home for Christmas.
And all the family are ready to embrace
the messenger boy who has brought
the glad tidings. But next night, pos
sibly very late, as happened in
one place on Tuesday night, a
messenger had to take the news that a
son could not come home on account of
illness. This message was delivered
outside the city limits. A boy started
' on a motor cycle. He got beyond Wood
stock on his motor cycle and there be
came mired. So he 'came home, and
another boy went out on a Cazadero
car. He-delivered his message and the
news' grieved the family so that the
messenger -boy who had waited for an
answer had to leave because there was
. no . one to . notice him. So he crept
away, and got back to the office at 2
o'clock in the morning.
Dinners Are Delivered .
Then again people find themselves
suddenly without a Christmas dinner.
Implicit faith in the ability - of the
messenger boy to do anything results
" In a telephone calr: "Send me up four
Christmas dinners, complete with all
the trimmings right away."
And within half an hour four dinners
will have been packed, carried away
rapidly, and delivered hot and steam
ing. Some -of the b6ys have been work
ing from 24 to 36 hours at a stretch,
not because they are made to. but be
cause this is their one great season.
Their earnings depend on the number
of journeys, and Christmas is the time
of tips as well. But whatever happens,
they carry their messages cheerfully,
even If they know beforehand from the
neighborhood that no tip is likely to
come their way, and they are always re
sourceful, reliable and rapid.
At the - Western Union offices tele
grams snowed In and melted away on
the wires with great rapidity. Three
direct Chicago wires for the Eastern
business, four to San Francisco, during
the day, were increased to six to Chi
cago and six to San Francisco as the
file of night letters rew heavier. The
special holiday A'3T4rft Union blanks
are becoming so popular that they are
looked upon by the public as a neces
sity during the Christmas and New
Year holiday season. The blanks were
designed to add to the pleasure of the
recipient and for that reason messages
were delivered without any. delivery
charges to any part of the city. .
Menaces Are Telepboned.
Many persons took advantage of the
privilege of telephoning messages in
and on that account it was found neces
sary to add help to that department.
The business houses and banks es
pecially are using the telegraph service
for the messages of greeting, one firm
alone yesterday filed 107 to its clients.
The messengers, appreciating the in
creased earnings for "digs" (as the
long routes are called) are working
under high pressure regardless of the
heavy rain that fell during the day.
Everything from a box of candy to a
thermos bottle has been delivered to
different parts of the city and a long
list of presents are piled up for delivery
today.

HOOD RIVER TO GET
BIG POWER PLANT
Means for Operating Electric
. Railway Through Valley to
Be Supplied.
$750,000 TO BE EXPENDED
Pacific Power & Light Company to
Start Construction Work Imme
diately After First of Year,
19 Announced.
- Construction of ; a 7000-horsepower
hydro-electric plant intended eventu
ally to supply the energy to operate an
electrics railway through ; the Hood
River Valley, will be started at Hood
River by the Pacific Power & Light
Companyimmedlately after the first
of. the year. ...
The plant and its attending distribu
tion system will cost approximately
1760.000, according to estimates com
pleted yesterday by Guy W. -Talbot,
president of the company.
While the Pacific Power & Light
Company does not propose to promote
. railroad nroiect through the produc
tive and thickly settled Hood River
Valley, it will lend its resources to any
legitimate enterprise that proposes to
build such a line.
Railway Project Planned. .
-Several enterprising firms and indi
viduals now are planning such trans
portation facilities and one of them no
doubt will develop into an actual -railroad
before the end of the dawning
year. For such Industry as that the
new plant will offer Its electrical en
ergy. The railroad project is entirely
feasible. In fact, the population In
the orchard district back of Hood
River is growing so rapidly that It
almost is a necessity. A belt line
passing up one side of the apple-producing
valley toward the base of Mount
Hood and back to the city on the other
side of the orchard district is the proj
ect in the minds of those interested.
The new plant will be auxiliary to
the. present plant of the Hood River
Gas & Elecjxic Company, a subsidiary
of the Pacific Power & Light Company.
The present dam on the Hood River,
a short distance south of the city of
Hood River, will be made -higher, so
as to provide a greater fall to the
water' and consequently increased en
ergy In the power-nouse.
1 ' Others Cities to Be Supplied. .
This increased energy, which will
aggregate 7000 horsepower, will be de
veloped in the new plant. In addition
to the proposed electrio railway power
also will be served to Industrial con
cerns at Hood River- and at other
points as far east as The Dalles. A wire
connection will be made with, the irri
gation project at Grand Dalles, Wash.
Other irrigation work within a reason
able distance of the place likewise will
be served.
The new enterprise will be operated
Independently of the Hood River Gas
& Electrio Company, which serves the
city of Hood River with a part of its
electrio lighting service.

LETTER MAIL SHOWS GAIN

fire, vesterdav than ever before in-one
day and in addition to this thousands
of packages were nai-uiou.
. The trainee, rorce oi pou empiuj ea,
with 48 extra men, handled the busi-
ness almost up to regular schedule
without a man faltering or asking for
a layoff because of fatigue. Any de
lay that may result Is because the rail
way mall clerks have been unable to
sort their car receipts before arrival,
and this has entailed extra work on
the clerks in the local office.
Superintendent Jones, of the. carrier
service, stated last night that the con
gestion was not as bad as a year ago,
although tha volume of business was
nearly double and it was his expecta
tion that Thursday afternoon would
find the office in Its normal condition
in fact it Is now, as far as the inside
districts are concerned. It is only in
the suburban districts that any delay
is noticeable.
In former years letter carriers were
permitted to work overtime and re
ceive the pay for such extra work but
now, under a ruling of the department,
eight hours is the limit permitted.
Even with this limit the men returnea
last evening footsore and -weary to the
office, but without an exception they
had a happy smile and full of happy
tales of the unexpected pleasures that
they had taken to many homes, which
the recipients insisted on sharing with
them.
ELECTION BILL DRAFTED
COUXTY CLERK FIELDS PLAXS
TO SUBMIT MEASURE.
Proposal Is to Have Voter Register
Only Once and to Abolish
Registration Books.
V
A draft of a bill having for its pur
pose the elimination of the present sys
tem by which a voter is required to
register anew everv two years ' has
been prepared by County Clerk Fields
for submission to the Legislature at
its session.
Briefly stated Mr. Fields' plan is to
have a voter register once for all ex
cept in case of electors who may fail
to vote at two succeeding general elec
tions. The cards of such delinquents
would then- be removed and before
again becoming eligible to participate
in . an election it would be necessary
for them to register again. Check
would also be kept on the eliminations
by death by consulting the vital and
probate records.
Mr. Fields would abolish the bulky
registration books and send instead to
each precinct a box containing on
cards the signatures and all necessary
Information concerning each voter in
that precinct. In case of change of
residence from one precinct to another,
a voter's card simply would be trans
ferred to another box. It would not
be necessary for a voter to go to the
Courthouse to register, but only to
fill in and send to the County Clerk's
office a blank form certifying to such
change. He or she would be required
to sign this form in the presence of
two witnesses.
- It is provided that the cards shall be
made of stout paper and that steel
rods shall hold them fast In the boxes,
the keys for the boxes to remain in
the custody of the County Clerk. The
present method of swearing in n. vote
at the polls would be continued.
A second bill prepared by Mr. Fields
would provide ' for the appointment of
Inspectors of elections in counties of
more than 100.000 population, for all
precincts in which 300 or more ballots
were cast, at the next preceding elec
tion. The appointment of such offi
cials, who would hold oftlca for two
van m nnd receive such compensation,
not to exceed $10 for each election and
10 cents a mile, as .(might be determ
ined by the County Court, would be
optional with the County Court- Their
duties, to quote from the proposed
measure would be:
the County . Court in
salActine- nroDer judges and clerks for
his precinct, to receive fron the Sheriff
and deliver to the county uiern me
election supplies and returns, to see
that the Judges and clerks appointed
are on hand at the appointed time on
election days and to recommend men
to fill the vacancies if they are not
and to assist and advise the judges and
clerks In the performance of their
duties, Including the administration of
oaths to Judges and clerks before they
enter upon their duties.
WALLOWA filflll ELECTED
WOOLGROWERS' AXXTAL MEET-
IS LARGELY ATTENDED.
Aniiminn starts Movements for
Uniform Twine and Special
Bounty for Coyote Scalps.
ENTERPRISE. Or., Dec. 24. (Spe
cial.) At the annual meeting of the
wiiinm. Countv WoolKT-owers' Asso
ciation, held in Enterprise, the follow
ing officers were elected: President,
Fred W. Falconer, Enterprise; vice
president N. O. Longfellow, Joseph;
ncretarv and treasurer. W. Al Jones,
Joseph. The retiring president was
Jay H. Dobbin and J. A. Funk was the
former secretary. An advisory board
was elected, consisting of Mr. Dobbin,
C. L. Hartshorn, R. F. Stubblefield,
Sam Liteh and Ernest F. Johnson.
The meeting was largely attended
and interest was marked. It was de
cided to send a good delegation from
the county to the State Woolgrowers'
Association convention, to be held at
Vale January 3 and 4. Those wno ex
nect to tto are Mr. Johnson, Mr. Dob
bin, Mr. Hartshorn. Mr. Falconer and
F. A. Clarke. Representatives also
will attend the convention of the Na
tional association later in Cheyenne. .
H. W. Harris, supervisor of the Wal
lowa National forest, addressed the
sheepmen, telling them of a number of
changes in the grazing regulations. He
said the applications win be in ainer
ent form, leases must be filed by March
21 and payments must be made prompt
ly. There will be no decrease in the
number of sheep permitted in the re
serve this season.
The association took steps to secure
uniformity of twine used for tying
wool at the shearing plants. In the
past some shearers have used binder
twine, the long, coarse fibers of which
become mixed with the wool and in
jure it for the market.
A special coyote bounty also was
authorised, the association voting to
propose to join with the county in this,
as was done- last year. The associa
tion will pay a special bounty of 60
cents a scalp from January 1 to May
1. if the county will pay a special
bounty of $1. ' Credit for an Important
part in starting the investigation of
freight rates, that resulted recently in
an order of the Interstate Commerce
Commission jducing rates, is taken
by Wallowa County. Mr. Dobbin and
others were among the "first to recog
nize the part freight rates play in the
Oregon wool industry and they were
active In presenting the case of the
sheepmen of the Northwest to the Com
mission. Man solemn Planned at Ashland.

out in the courthouse litigation and
aays that at least 5000 of this was
wasted.
The Jury declares that the inmates
of the poorfarm have cost tne county
$130 a month and that more than 4000
has been expended on persons outside
that institution. The road work, it Is
alleged, has been carried on without
any system at all and the great bulk
ot the large sums spent were nw
Iutely wasted.
Tha 1urv makes a number of recom
mendations, among them one that If
there is not an immediate change soon
in the methods of the court a recall
will be Instituted.
The iurr closes with a promise to go
Into matters still further and says that
it has possession of some of the docu
ments showing the grossest irregu
larities. The present court was elected on the
alloxan of good roads and a new court
house. LUMBERMAN CALLS HALT

LEGAL POINT IDE
Vital Question Raised in Arch
bald Impeachment.
ATTORNEYS SUBMIT BRIEFS
Question U Whether Official Jlity
Be Impeached, for Act Not Pun
ishable in Courts, or Ante
dating Present Office.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24. The vital
legal battle in the Impeachment trial
of Judge Archbald, of the Commerce
Court, opened today when the House
managers and attorneys for the ac
cused judge submitted in printed form,
arguments as to whether an official
may be Impeached for acts which are
not subject to prosecution by Indict
ment or Information In a criminal
court. - i
The arguments are regarded as perti
nent because no contention Is made in
the Archbald case that the acts charged
constituted crimes or misdemeanors
punlshabfe in the courts.
They also discussed whetbe an of
ficial may be Impeached for acts done
before he entered on his existing of
fice. -
The House managers contended In
their brief that the clause In the Con
stitution describing impeachable of
fenses was taken from the British par
liamentary law, prevailing at tha time
of the formation of tha American Gov
ernment, and must.be interpreted in
the light of time-honored parliamen
tary usage- This, they declared, "rec
ognized high crimes and misdemean
ors to be misdeeds, misconducts or
. . , ,
misoeua
