The rivalry between the two associa tions already is keen. Seattle hat taken for its slogan: Tuncture Tortland Pride." Tortland has come back at the Puget Sound city workers with: "Skin Seattle Sure." If. V. Chase, now merging the Cham ber of Commerce and the Commercial Club, spoke at the rally yesterday at JJ:15 o'clock from the standpoint of an ex-Young -Men's Christian Association secretary, as he was for years in charge of the work at Hamilton. O. He said that the association in Tortland is its Rrcatest industry, that it is a man fac tory, that no city is better than the standards of its men, and the Young Men's Christian Association here was a vital force in raising Portland stand ards. He spurred the workers to greater enthusiasm and, declared that membership in Portland's association ia an evidence of progress nnd stamina. Membernhlp ale lemonatratel. A. J. Robinson, business educational secretary, and K. T. Thompson, of Hart man & Thompson Bank, demonstrated a membership Bale before the workers yesterday. Mr. Thompson ralseJ' all of the objections that workers may find in their canvass to membership in the association, and the questions were an swered by Mr. Robinson from the stand point of the value of association&l advantages to business men. He also emphasized the industrial feature of the association, its great educational facilities, its wonderful wireless plant, communicating thousands of miles away, its clubrooms nnd dozens of other features that make the associa tion attractive. H. W. Stone, general secretary, fur ther explained the rules and gave last minute instructions to the. forces, as did also John A, Goodell. Northwest Industrial Y. M. C. A. secretary and general coach of tho campaign. All the leaders, as well as Mr. Chase, declared the organization, on the eve cf the campaign, in perfect working order and ready for the contest, with every prospect of "bringing home the bacon." OUSTED OFFICIALS SUE GOVERNOR DIRECTS TEST TO BE HADE OJi EMERGENCY CLAVSE. Mr. Lister Thinks .Measured Have Been Hastened to Prevent Any Vote , by People at Referendum. OLTMPIA. Wash., Feb. 22. (Special.) At the direction of Governor Lister, three of his appointees. Tax Commis sioners Jackson and Brlslawn and For ester Ferris, dispossessed, as ex-officio members of the State Land Board by the McArdle bill, will bring quo warranto proceedings in the Supreme Court to morrow to prevent Secretary of State Howell and Treasurer Meatli from ex ercising the Land Board functions Clven to them under ths bill. The object of the suit is not to pre vent the Republican officials from ex ercising their Land Board duties, but to ascertain whether the emergency clause attached to the Land Board bill is valid. If this clause is valid the referendum cannot be invoked against nucli bills, and it is the contention of the Governor that the emergency clause lias been attached to a. considerable number of important bills pending in the Legislature for the express purpose of forestalling possible referendum jrtovements. Attorney-General Tanner ruled two years ago that the Legislature had full power to attach an emergency clause to any measure, and that the courts would not inquire Into the fact of whether or not an emergency actually existed, the Attorney-General relying upon decisions to this effect of the Oregon. Oklahoma, South Dakota and Arkansas courts. Since this ruling was rendered, Mich igan and California courts have de cided to the opposite effect. The ques tion has never been presented in any form in the Washington court. 1, LOST SINCE FIRE, FOUND Joseph liookcr to Tell Coroner's Jury or Lodgins-Honse Blaze. MARSH FIELD. Or., Feb. 22.
