Grouping of examinations for

Prompt reporting of names of
all men laid off to Civil Service
board.
Important changes in the manner of
administering tne city's civil service
system will result from a "get-together"
meeting held yesterday by the
City Council and the municipal civil
service board to discuss controversies
and settle troubles between the two
bodies over the subjects of employes.
The changes discussed and tentatively
decided upon will be adopted either
by the Council or the civil service
board, or both, according to jurisdic
tion. Laborers, of which there are several
hundred in the service, are the princi
pal ones affected by the changes pro
posed. At present one general examina
tion of laborers is held for the entire
city service. It is complained that this
has caused many troubles, inasmuch
as it takes a different class of men
to do park work from the class re
quired for sewer or water trench work
or street cleaning service. As things
work now, when sewer or other la
borers are laid off they are auto
matically transferred to another class
of service if they are senior in service
to men in the other class. By this
system trench diggers recently have
been transferred to street cleaning
ervice or to service in the parks.
Transfers to Cease.
It was decided that hereafter there
will be no such transfer of men unless
the heads of the two departments are
agreeable to the transfer. The labor
in each bureau will be separate and
seniority will not count except in de
partments or classes of service. A.
laborer, upon taking an examination,
will be required to designate the class
of labor he wants and possibly the
bureau in which he wants to work and
he will be confined to that bureau
and that class of service. A. distinct
examination will be held for park la
borers, Inasmuch as a distinct and dif
ferent type of work is required there.
Commissioner Daly will present a
plan to the civil service board whereby
all men on the eligible lists for labor
service and all laid-off men will be
required to report at headquarters at
intervals. The men who report will be
listed and appointed first according to
the length of time they have been re
porting. This will enable the city. It is
said, to maintain an up-to-date list of
men willing to work.
Failure to Itoport End Chance,
Those who get outside employment
or leave the city will not report, and
therefore will not be in the way of men
who are ready to work. This, it is
argued by Mr. Daly, will enable the city
in case of any emergency to get men
quickly without having to send out no
tices to all men on the eligible list,
many of whom have left the city or are
at work at something else.
When men are laid off it is proposed
to have their names submitted at once
to the civil service board, so that they
will be placed on the labor lists for
appointment. In the past these names
have not been sent in. and sometimes
available work has gone to others.
A case of this kind came up during
the recent earth slide troublee. Com
missioner Dieck needed men, and asked
the civil service board for a list of
eliglbles. The list was furnished, but
it did not contain the names of a number-of
men who had a short time before
been laid off in another department.
Consequently new men got the work
While the regular workers lost out.
, , Fewer Tests Proposed.
Plans were made for combining ex
aminations for engineering service and
tome other technical positions. It was
planned to have one examination cover
a series of positions by having the ap
plicant pass as much of a general ex
amination as he could. The more of it

said this system could be employed to
furnish men for all classes of engineer

Commissioner - Dieck and Chairman
Caldwell, of the civil service board,

the subject of temporary appointments.

INSURANCE SUITS BROUGHT
Lipman, Wolfe & Co. 'Seek to Re

Nine similar suits against as many
individual insurance companies were
filed in the Circuit Court Wednesday

score more. They were to recover
amounts paid to insurance companies

attention Wednesday afternoon. ,
With the words, Adolph Carlson
placed his hand on the shoulder of W.

in the form of a sounding slap. Fur
ther hostilities were prevented by the
appearance ot a neutral. Patrolman
Burk, representing the Police Court
Hague.
Before Judge Langguth yesterday
morning Mr. Lynch confessed that he
was a self-appointed mentor and dele
gate of peace to the war college. It
wag his custom, he said, to expound
the underlying principles of warfare,
and it was while so engaged that Mr.
Carlson misconstrued one of his re
marks. "People who cannot control their an
ger," Municipal Judge Langguth told
the two. "should be absent from the
war college roster."
"Be certain that I won't -go back,
judge." Mr. Lynch replied.
The late adversaries shook hands in
the corridor, at the advice of the
court.

for trial before Circuit Judge Morrow
yesterday on the charge of selling In

This is the third postponement of the
Shcultz case since the appeal was
taken.

Interest in Corn Planting Aronscd
and Considerable Area Assured.
Seeds Distributed and Many
Questions Are Answered.
BY ADDISOX BENNETT.
CHE HA LIS, Wash., March 23. (Spe
cial.) The O.-W. R. & N. agricultural
campaign is attracting a great deal
of attention throughout Southwestern
Washington. All of the papers in the
places we have visited and are to visit
during the next two weeks are giving
the subject much space. While this is
a matter of satisfaction to the railway
people, it is of greater importance to
the public at large, as such notices
undoubtedly will awaken interest.
The slogan of the campaign. "More
Corn, More Hogs. More Cows. More Dol
lars," bears a message of truth that is
of the greatest importance- to this en
tire section, for as the timber industry
has had a slump, which may occur often
in the future, the farmers and business
men are looking forward to the increase
of livestock and its products with a
feeling of greatest interest.
Bolstfort Meeting Record.
No meeting heretofore held showed
greater interest than that of last night
at Bolstfort, a little hamlet about 17
miles southwest of Chehalis, a place
quite a distance from rail connections.
The meeting was held in the school
house and was attended by more than
175, many of whom were women. Presi
dent Sibley, of the Chehalis creamery,
acted as chairman, and introduced
"Farmer" Smith, who spoke for about
an hour. But the audience was not
satisfied, and began to ask questions
relating to all manner o'f farm prob
lems. Mr. Smith is at his best when
under a fire of that sort.
As usual the questions related largely
to the. corn question, for the citizens
of that locality take a keen interest in
that question, so much that they have
formed a corn' club and this year will
double the corn area of the neighbor
hood. By the way, the party thus far
has given away several hundred small
sacks of acclimated seed corn, and they
have enough left to give a sack to
every applicant. If they run out they
will forward it later by express to the
applicant.
The trip to Boistfort was made in an
auto, and as the roads in that direction
are none too good in wet weather, the
trip was not one to be bragged about
for its pleasure.
Mossy Rock Visited.
" But in spite of the hard trip of yes
terday and last night all hands were
up early this morning, and at 9 o'clock
we left for Mossy Rock, a little town 17
miles due east of Chehalis. The trip
was made by auto under varying con
ditions of weather, there being inter
mittent periods of rail, hail, sleet and
sunshine, with rain the prevailing ele
ment and it was none too warm. As
the roads were pretty bad, the trip
took nearly three hours. Mossy Rock
is far from the railway line in one of
the finest farming sections in Lewis
County. The meeting was held in the
schoolhouse at 1:30 P. M. "Farmer"
Smith made an address which consumed
over an hour's time, after which his
audience began to question him as to
many of . the problems of the farm.
Meantime Mr. Smith's son. Lou, was
busy in another part of town giving
instructions in milk-testing with the
Babcock instruments and in distribut
ing literature and seed corn.
As soon as the meeting was over the
party left for Silver Creek, a little set
tlement about half way on the road to
Chehalis. Tomorrow two meetings will
be held, at Forest in the afternoon and
Ethel at night.
Mr. Cage Gets Miss Byrd;
Now She's Mrs. Byrd-Cage.
Doikr 21-Year-Old Bellhop, A'ovr
BridcEroom, Admits the Cage
Sometimes Holds the Byrd.
PROM time immemorial birds and
cages have been associated to
gether. Possibly that may have been
the reason that Raymond Cage, colored,
21-year-old bellboy at the Seward Ho
tel, was first attracted by the dusky
charms of Miss Georgiana Byrd, 19
years of age.
Be that as it may. they eloped to
Vancouver Monday afternoon and were
married. News of the marriage leaked
out yesterday.
Mr. Cage admitted yesterday tha the
Cage holds the Byrd sometimes.
Mrs. Cage now signs her name Mrs.
Byrd-Cage.
The newlyweds are making their
home at 221 East Couch street.

BOYS AND GIRLS ARRESTED
Juvenile Court Proceeds Against
Troutdal Schoolchildren.
Five schoolgirls of Troutdale and
four boys were taken into custody by
Juvenile Court officials yesterday.
Three of the girls were sent to the
Home of the Good Shepherd last night,
one to the Louise Home, and two of the
boys are held by the Juvenile Court.

years, and the boys' from 14 to 17
years.
The case will be thoroughly in
vestigated by Deputy District Attorney

CLACKAMAS FOLK MEET
TAXPAYERS' LEAGUE HEARS AD
DRESS FROM JUDGE.
"Our Taxes Not to Be Looked Upon as
Evil to Be Shunned," Says Mr.
Anderson, County Jurist.
ESTACADA, Or., March 25. (Spe
cial.) A crowd of 75 or 80 persons at
tended this week's meeting of the East
ern Clackamas Taxpayers' League,
which met at Ely's Hall, in Currinsville.
Among the audience were several
women, besides a number of taxpayers
from Boring, Oregon City and local
delegations representative of All parts
of Eastern Clackamas.
County Judge H. 63. Anderson defend
ed the actions of the County Court
and explained many hitherto misunder
stood questions. The subject of the
judge's talk was "Taxes and Taxation,"
and in part he said:
I do not come here as an instructor or
advlnfr in any sense, but for the purpose
of learning- something- more of the purpose
of your organization.
Our taxes are not to be looked upon aa
an evil to be shunned, or the payment of
them, as an unpleasant duty, to be evaded
If possible; but on the other hand, th
money we pay 8.3 tax upon our property
is the best investment we make from year
to year. It might be a good plan for those
who decry taxation to ponder a little on the
condition of things as tbey must necessarily
be. were there no taxation.
Such a system would take us back to a
primitive state of existence, where each in
dividual lived to himself and for hlmeelf
alone. Not many of us look with favor
upon Socialism, as that term is usually un
derstood, yet nevertheless, most, if not all
of us, are Socialists to the extent that we
do not wish to stand entirely alone, but
feel to a greater or less degree our mutual
dependency upon each other and the com
munity of interests which ties us ail to
gether. The cost of the different county offices
can be pretty closely estimated provided no
unusual demands are made upon them, but
the wisest cannot foretell when the unusual
will occur.
To scale the estimates for the different
offices down to the last known dollar of
expense always will cause a deficit some
where, for the . unexpected is always hap
pening. It was deciaed to hold the April
meeting of the league at the Barton
Hall on Monday afternoon, April 17.
As soon as the weather moderates and
the roads get intb better shape, the
Summer meetings of the league will be
helckt in Garfield, George, Springwater
and other distant points from the railway.

RECIPE 10 CLEAR
A
PIMPLY
K
Pimples Are Impurities Seeking
an. Outlet Through Skin
Pores.
Pimples, sores and boils usually re
sult from toxins, poisons and impuri
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain the
body.
It is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine, but
in many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid of tt.ece impuri
ties which often break out all over th
skin in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted authority,
is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Sa.lts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of hot water
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation
of toxins in the bowels. It also. stimu
lates the kidneys to normal activity,
thus coaxing them to filter the blood of
impurities and clt-aring the skin of
pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia.
Here you have ft pleasant effervescent
drink which usually makes pimplea
disappear, cleanses the blood and is ex
cellent fcr the kidneys as well. Adv.
