car from Vancouver, B. C. through to

rlday. This car will be handled on
the train leaving- Vancouver at 4 P. M..
Seattle 10:45 P. M., Tacoroa 12:01 A. M.
and on the North Bank steamer ex
press from Portland, arriving Flavel
at noon on steamer sailing days.
The Northern Pacific Railway also
will run a standard sleeper on the train
leaving Seattle at 11:59 P. M., Tacoma
:30 A. M., and on the steamer express
to the ships' sides.
The through service thus provided
for the cities of the Puget Sound coun
try, it is thought, will stimulate travel
through the Portland gateway. Only
ne change will be made necessary for
occupants of the sleepers. Breakfast
will be served on dining cars on the
south-bound, and luncheon will be
erved aboard ship.
The first coaches to be operated on
this schedule will be started from Van
couver and Seattle on their respective
lines Wednesday, May 31. under this
improved schedule the Columbia River
rail and ocean route to California will
make a bid for a larger share of the
ravel from the north. The north-bound
schedule will approximate the time of
the fast express trains overland.
Glorious Portland roses. long
stemmed beauties in every shade of
red, yellow and pink, were showered
upon the Washington clubwomen who
paid Portland a short visit yesterday
morning, en route to the biennial con
vention of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, which will open in New
York City on May 23.
The roses were the gift of the Port
land Woman's Club, and a committee
of the club members assembled at the
Union Depot to bid the delegates "bon
voyage." The local representatives of
the state federation sent a box of Am
erican Beauties to Mrs. C. H. Castner,
the president of the Oregon Federation,
who Joined the "Pacific-Atlantic Spe
cial" at Hood Kiver. R. W. Atkinson,
who went with the train as far as
Hood River, said as the party started:
-1 shall give the Washington delegates
a lecture on the beauties of the Colum
bia River and will make them so en
thusiastic that they will sing the
praises of our scenery throughout the
East."
Twelve Women to Represent Oregon.
Mrs. Anton Oiebisch was the only
Portland clubwoman who joined the
delegation this morning, but Oregon
will be well represented by 12 women
who went on ahead and will meet the
Western special in New York.
A prominent representative from Se
attle in the party is Mrs. W. P. Harper,
who is indorsed by her state for the
office of auditor of the General Fed
eration. Mrs. Harper has been a di
rector for four years. Unlike Oregon,
Washington has not pledged its delega
tion to support Mrs. Josiah Evans
Cowles, of Los Angeles, for the presi
dency. When asked if Washington would
support the Western candidate for the
chief office, one of the Seattle women
said: "We have not been instructed.
We shall see when we get there. Mrs.
Harper is our candidate."
Oregon to Back Mrs. Cowles.
Oregon will stand solidly .by Mrs.
Cowles, California's candidate, the lo
cal women declare. Mrs. Cowles was
vice-president- of the General Federa
tion and next in line for the presidency
in 1912, but out of loyalty to her state
and the West she gave up her personal
ambition to get the federation in San
Francisco in that year.
As a tribute to her worth and un
selfishness, her state put her forward
for the high office thi3 yeart She
is indorsed by several state federations.
The other candidate is Mrs. Samuel B.
Sneath, of Ohio, the present vice-president.
She was in Portland last June
at the time of the General Federation
council. She. too, has strong support
ers and wide popularity.
Before Mrs. Harper announced her
candidacy for auditor, the Oregon State
Federation indorsed Mrs. faarah A.
Evans for a directorship.
Session to Be Biggest Yet.
As there is little possibility that
three Pacific Coast states in a row can
obtain places on the General Federa
tion board, those who are interested in
club politics declare that, of course,
someone will have to withdraw or be
sacrificed for the others. Politics will
no doubt be discussed on the train.
Washington may turn down Mrs.
Cowles: Mrs. Evans may withdraw or
Mrs. Harper may step out of the race
time will tell but, politics or no
politics, the clubwomen are on their
' way rejojeing.
With arms laden with roses and faces
wreathed in smiles they said "Good
bye" to Portland and started for the
biggest gathering of clubwomen ever
held in the United States.
Among the Portland women who
went to the depot to greet the dele
gates were Mrs. Frederick Eggert, Mrs.
G. J. Frankel, Mrs. A. King Wilson,
Mrs. J. W. Tlfft, Mrs. F. Joplin and
Mrs. Sarah A. Evans.
The Eastern Washington delegates
joined the special at Pendleton. The
California and Utah delegates will be
added to the special at Green River at
7:30 tonight. On Saturday the club
women will be in Chicago and will have
the privileges of the clubrooms in the
Fine Arts building on Michigan ave
nue. The stop in Chicago will be from
11 A. M. to 5:40 P. M. and Sunday will
be passed at Niagara Falls. At 8:30 A.
M. Monday the delegates will leave the
train at Albany and board a Hudson
Day Line steamer for a daylight ride
down the Hudson River, arriving in
New York at JJesbrosses pier at
P. M. Passengers who wish may re
main on the train and they will get
into the metropolis several hours
earlier.
Miss Olive E. Lender, woman pas
senger agent of the Union Pacific
system, will accompany the party
tnrougn to its destination.
The headquarters of the Oregon dele
gation will be in the Hotel Biltmore.

SALEM. Or.. May 17. (Special.)
Meter rates of the Salem Water Com
pany, for sprinkling lawns and for
general irrigation purposes during the

90 cubic feet; 25 cents a 100 cubic
feet for the next 300 cubic feet, and
'As cents a 100 cubic feet for all over

made because the former schedule of
rates w&s found t be burdensome for
consumers.
A study of the sprinkling problem

served by this utility, and elsewhere,"
declared the commission in commenting
upon the subject, "has convinced this

nature of the use is such that rates.

ndustrial purposes, in most instances.
become prohibitive when applied to
sprinkling services. As a general prop

to the public generally, and may be
considered in the nature of a semi-
public use.
"Since this feature has a bearing on
the rate. Its application may properly
be restricted to the period when, by
reason of climatic conditions, this use
will result in a benefit to the public,

tional arbitration tonight as a mtsslon-
ry ror the League to Enforce Peace.
n taking his place as presiding officer
here Mr. Taft answered the pacifists
who object to the league because it
presupposed the use of force. We re
plied also to critics of the league who
believed It would draw the United
States into "entangling alliances."
i do not think we have reached a
time," said Mr. Taft. "when force as
an aid to a moral Impulse can be dis
pensed with. We need a police force
t home, and the same need exists in
the relations between nations.
Philippine Policy Rasped.
As regards the fear of entangling
Ulances, our situation now is very
J-lfferent from what it was when Waah-
ingto gave his warning."
He enumerated the developments
which had brought the United States
into inevitable contact with foreign
powers, speaking of the Philippines,
he declared:
I cannot tell you what I think of
our present Philipplne's policy in the
presence of the ladies."
Mexico he characterised as an "in-

greater burdens on us."
