OH SEVERAL BILLS I HONOR PAID PORTLAND MAN BRINGS PLEASURE Congress Pays Tardy Tribute to General Anderson by Elevating His Rank for Heroic, Diplomatic and Active Service of 40 Years. Olds, Wortman & King The Store of Superior Service I PO BALMY WEA HER Fight Between Republicans and Governor Lister Is Narrowing Down. PARTY MEASURES PENDING Labor Legislation Likely to Be rassed Up to KiecUtive at Last Minute Jitney and Port Hearings Set for Today. OLYMPIA. Wash, March 7. (Spe cial.) When the Washington Legisla ture reconvenes Monday morning for the final four days of Its 14th session, interest promises to be about evenly divided between legislative action on the mass of bills awaiting: attention and the action of Governor Lister on bills already presented to bim for sis nature. The Democratic-Progressive minority In both houses has been threatening the Republican majority that executive disapproval will be meted to several bills of ths organization programme, a,nd an interest considerably more than academic attaches to the question of whether this threat will be carried out and. If so. whether the majority ma chinery will hold solid to provide the necessary ' two-thirds vote in each house to pass measures over the veto. The only measures of considerable importance among those signed are H. B. No. 170, the new fish code offered by the fi.aheries operators. Increasing their licenses, and H. B. No. 119, the universal four-year registration law a part of the Republican elections pro gramme. There are seven Senate bills and 1! House bills awaiting approval of the Governor, Including some of the most Important measures under consldera lion during the session. The veto Is most likely to be affixed to aome election bills, as these were Republican party measures and met with strong minority opposition during their passage through both houses. There are two other measures among those listed which have been subject to some criticism, and on both of which the Governor will hold public hearings tomorrow before deciding upon action These are the Jitney bus bill, require ments of which, operators allege, would practically put all machines out of business, and the port district bill. The King County delegation In the Legisla ture, with three or four exceptions, is unanimously against the present Seat tie Port Commission, and the bill is Intended to take control of the port district out of the hands of these men. The most important bills for guber natorial action left unsettled are tnose dealing with labor questions. The Kleeb first-aid bill, drafted by employ crs, has passed the Senate, and the House is now facing the choice of passing this bill, which the Governor will veto, taking no action at alL which , would have the same ultimate effect, or substituting the bill drafted by Governor Lister's commission. If no bill is passed or if the Kleeb bill is passed and vetoed, a measure suitable to the Governor and organized labor probably will be Initiated, so the House Is facing a difficult question in this regard. In decision of other labor matters the Legislature will put some difficult questions before the Governor. Meas ures already passed by one house or the other, or by both in slightly dif ferent form. Include an antl-picketing bill and amendments to the eight-hour public works law, the eight-hour law for women and the full-crew bill, fought bitterly by organized labor. Around each of these measures a sharp ' fight has been waged and the ap parent object of legislative leaders. In leaving these measures to reach the Governor during the last week of the session, is to thrust responsibility for final decision upon the executive. ljmmynnj r . - 't is v;A4 ff j ; v I - - " ' ."' v j s ; - ; - - 4 .TAX-COLLECTION BILL VAIN Vmatilla Court lenies Treasurer Pay for Extra Services. PENDLETON'. Or.. March 7. (Spe cial.) An echo of the recent con troversy in the Legislature as to whether the County Treasurer or Sher iff should be the collector of taxes in Oregon was heard In the County Court Friday. It came up when County Treasurer Bradley presented a bill for $.",( for extra services rendered in col lecting the 1913 taxes. The bill was not allowed by the members of the Court, who seemed to think the county did its part when it allowed the Treas urer extra clerical assistance. The Treasurer's salary is only $1200 a year and, in addition to holding that this sum is inadequate, Mr. Bradley contends that the extra time he was compelled to put in and the extra re sponsibility entitle him to the addi tional compensation requested.

OLYMPIA. Wash.. March 7. (Spe cial.) By a vote of 53 to 2-4. the House last night passed the Sly bill prohibit ing use of convicts on road work. The bill Is aimed at the honor camp system Inaugurated a little more than a year ago by Governor Lister, under which convicts have been paid 60 cents a day for their labor, the system being criticised as expensive. Logging Device Patented. CENTRAUA. Wash.. March 7. (Spe cial. Frank Montgomery, of the N. & M. Lumber Company at Rochester, has been granted a patent for a suspended railway for carrying logs that Is ex pected to revolutionize the logging business. Montgomery submitted his models several months ago. BT ADDISON BENNETT. HEN the news came over the ires that one of the final acts the late Congress was to raise the rank of T. AL Anderson from Briga dier-General to Major-General. It gave much satisfaction to many Portlanders, for General Anderson has been a resi dent of this city since his retirement from active service, in January, 1903. Few men now livine- took a more active part Inrahe Civil War than Gen eral Anderson. When the first gun was fired at Fort Sumter, the com mandant being General Robert Ander son, an uncle of Thomas M. Anderson, an attorney then 26 years of age, prac ticing law at Newport, Ky., the young lawyer hastened to Cincinnati to offer his services to his country. Sumter fell April 13. On the 14th young Ander son affixed his signature to the rolls of the Army, but had to wait until the -0th for a recruiting officer to muster him in as a private in the Sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was transferred to the Regular Army May 7 and sent to Carlisle to join the Fifth Cavalry as a Second Lieuten ant, the Colonel of this regiment being I George H. Thomas, later one of the prominent commanders of the Northern Army. Much Service Seen. To follow the young Lieutenant through the successive grades between Lieutenant and Brigadier-General, to trace labors from May 14, 1861, to the date of his retirement In 1900, covering a period of almost 40 years, would be to recapitulate many pages of the his tury of the country and to take you over battlefields from Chancellorsvllle to the Philippines. And yet General Anderson, now rounding out his 79th year, is today hale, hearty and rugged, as one might wish for a hero deserving so much from his fellow countrymen In looking calmly at General Ander son s record one can see that at all times when the critical moment arrived for signal service on behalf of his country he was as much diplomat as soldier. When sent to Vancouver Bar racs as commander in 18S6 he found sort of partnership existing as to thej section of land occupied by the post jointly with the Catholic schools and missions, and each partner a claimant to the title. General Gibbon was in command of the department, conse quently the superior officer.- General Anderson asked him how it was the church buildings were there and that the parade and drill grounds of his troops were alternately the play grounds of the school children and the private pathways of the civilians. Gen eral Gibbon's answer was that these occupants claimed title to the land, to which General Anderson demurred. Later he ejected every civilian and kept them off the ground, in which ac tion he was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States. British Flag Ordered Down. When he was sent to Alaska as com mandant of the district of the Lynn Canal, with headquarters at Skagway, he found there a British officer with headquarters already established, over which flew the Britisli flag. Upon in quiry General Anderson found that Britain claimed every inch of the ter ritory down to the sea. General Anderson caused the flag to be hauled down and the office removed to the top of the hill to the north, where the waters flowed to the Klondike. At first the officer demurred, as he had two companies of mounted police about to arrive by boat. General Anderson put a quietus on the whole matter and perhaps saved that entire section to Uncle Sam by refusing to allow the boat with the police on board to make a landing. Short was his career in Alaska, for on his way there, at Seattle, he heard of the blowing up of the 'Maine in Havana harbor. He Immediately wrote to General Corbin, chief of staff at Washington: "This Maine incident looks like war; I don't want to be cooped up In Alaska when there is fighting to do. The reply quickly came back: "If there Is fighting to do you will soon have a band in it." SalllBg Orders Brief. So when war was declared we find General Anderson the first American General since the Government was formed sailing across seas at the head of a small army, going to the aid of Dewey -at Manila. Two thousand. eight hundred men he had and a "war chest" of 6000 silver dollars, and orders from headquarters: "Take this and your troops and go and do the best you can." More than likely the Secre taries at Washington knew that ho matter what embroglios might arise. General Anderson would be equal to the occasion. One of the first interviews sought after his arrival was by Aguinaldo. who was self-appointed dictator of the is- ands. Dewey was present and ne naa evidently given the Filipino some sort of comfort, for he said not a word in the interview. "Are you going to rec ognise my authority over these islands" was the first inquiry from the "aicta tor." S I am a soldier at the head of a small army; I am here to keep the peace and Intend to keep it and have nothing Jo do with civil affairs or af fairs of diplomacy." Which was the highest form of diplomacy that words could have expressed. Two of the principal battles In which General Anderson participated during the Civil War were Chancellorsviu nt Knnttnvl vanta. both in Virginia. I tha latter he was in that portion of th. battle called in history "the blood angle." In both of these battles he was wounded, in the first a minie ball Just grazed across his stomacn, caus intr a Hvfrn and nainful wound; in th other he was shot through the leg and hnhhiori nrnund on crutches tor nin mnntha Hin rroRtpst regret for th wound Is that It kept him from the cul minatine battle of the war Gettys hllro'- To look at General Anderson today vou would take him for a man oi o, you might think from his appearance that he was a dapper, but successful business man, who had just emerged from the hands of the tailor, me nao erdasher and the barber and masseur, -v. hn.-i la a twinkle In his eye, a set of the Jaws which the reader of character would say portenas mucn ui the tenacity of the bulldog, while the of the eves and the contour of the eyebrows show education, refinemen d n n nlnmntr. a iriniv nulet srentleman of the old schocl dignified, .silent when necessary and outspoken as occasion demands. General Anderson is passing th. evenlnir of his life as the com mandant of the Loyal Legion, a society composed of the officers wno iook part in the Civil War and their lineal descendants. A pitifully small society, for there are only four or five old heroes left, but a few dozen of their descendants are in Oregon. Sorrow la Visitor. When I asked General Anderson If his wife were yet living, a great sad ness came into his eyes as he told me she had left him for the better land nearly a' year ago. His home keeper is his daughter, Elizabeth, the widow of the late Charles Gauld, and her three children make the beautiful home on Everett street bright, while his confidential companion is hia son, Van. His other children are scat tered, but all doing well, and a great comfort to their father. Everybody who reads this will be glad that congress oia our ioiiow citizen the honor of elevating his rank even though it did not increase his emoluments. It was but tardy jus tice, if it can be called justice to dole out to a hero such scanty praise so long after it was due. But the dap- Der -little General says: " What care for the emoluments or tne added title; I do not need the money; all I wanted was to see my name where it belongs side by side with the comrades who fought shoulder to shoulder with me. And if war were to be declared to morrow against Mexico or against the allies or the whole world General Thomas M. Anderson, of Portland, Ore. gon. now in his 79th year, would prance up to the Captain's off ice and repeat his words or 17 years ag Unclouded Skies Woo Humans Into Open as Birds Rejoice and Buds Burst Out.

The range will be opened one month earlier this year than usual be cause of the large demands upon it. According to present plans the second battalion will have the use of the range in April, the first battalion in May and the Eighth Coast Artillery, Troop A, and the Naval Reserves during June. Company I, stationed at Woodburn, and Company G, at Oregon City, will also probably use the range during the Sum mer. Each organization will devote the first two Sundays to Instruction in the use of the guns and the others to record practice. In line with the other target practice members of Battery A are practicing with the Held guns, taking up the work of sighting and manipulating the pieces. A group was engaged in this work yes terday. A school for the company musicians has been established and meets every Friday night under the direction of Sergeant Stern, chief musician of the Twenty-first Infantry. The class for non-commissioned offi cers under Sergeant Paul Hathaway Is reported to be doing good work. It meets every Friday for study in various branches of the military science. The examining board, consisting of Major L. A. Bowman. Majof C. T. Smith and Captain W. F. Daugherty, is now examining the officers of the six com panies in field service.

All druggist 25c Ailv WHAT SCIATICA IS There Is something terrifying about the word sciatica. Yet sciatica Is nothing but neuralgia of th sciatic nerve and neuralgia Is an Inflamma tion caused by lack of nourishment. Application of dry heat as hot sand bags or flannel to tli course of ths Inflamed nerve often quiets tho pain but it doea not feed the nerve. It is temporary relief, a good thing to know about, but not a romedy. What causes the nerve starvation that results in neuralgia and sciatica and how may It be corrected?
