COUNTY DELEGATION
TO MEET THURSDAY
Multnomah Legislators to Dis
cuss Affairs Solely Deal
ing With County.
UNIT RULE NOT TO PREVAIL
Idea Is to Have Thorough Under
standing of Measures General
Measures Not to Be Taken TTp
When Session Is Held.
Members of the Multnomah County
legislative delegation will meet In the
Governor's room of the Oregon build
ing at 8 o'clock next Thursday evening
to consider questions of exclusive in
terest to Multnomah County.
A permanent organization will be
effected. Several members have been
suggested for the chairmanship, promi
nent among them being Conrad P. Ol
con, of the Senate. Representative D.
C. Lewis also is experiencing a slight
oom in this connection.
The idea, mainly, is to get the dele
gation organized so that when measures
directly concerning Multnomah County
are presented at Salem some Intelli
gent action can be taken. It is not
Intended, however, to conduct meetings
In the nature of a caucus so that all
members of the delegation will be
bound by the will of the majority. The
Intention Is to permit every man to
vote on every question according to
Ills own notions on the subject.
No general legislation will be con;
idered by the Multnomah delegates".
They will discuss only those questions
that concern this county exclusively.
One question that doubtless will call
for much attention is the proposed
change in the Juvenile Court. This
question now is being urged from many
aides. It will be a live issue at Salem.
Some changes in Portland district
school laws also are proposed. It is
probable that the plan permitting all
registered voters to vote at school elec
tions will be presented to the Legisla
ture. Now none but taxpayers are per
mitted to vote.
The teachers' tenure of office law Is
also due for legislative attention. It
concerns Multnomah ' County directly.
It is probable that one or more meet
ings will be held before he legislative
cession opens, so that residents of Mult
nomah County who cannot go to Salem
when the Legislature convenes can
present their views.
Two years ago the Multnomah dele
gation held weekly meetings for five
or six weeks before the session started.
Many important measures were
threshed out and partly disposed of In
that way, saving a lot of time at
6alem.

With a fund of nearly $10,000 rolled
up at the close of "Sympathy Week,"
the Public Welfare Bureau enters the
last Btretch in Its campaign to make
up its relief fund of the coming year,
this morning.
"Sympathy Saturday" turned in about
$1000 Saturday night, which may . be
augmented to $2000 or more when the
complete report from the officers of
the Bank of Sympathy is made. They
will meet probably today and check up
on the final returns from the sale of
the sympathy stock.
In the meantime checks are still com
ing in as a result of the letter Bent out
to the members of the 10 leading clubs
of the city. The letters contained an
outline of the plan to raise at this
time the full amount necessary to car
ry the relief work of the Public Wel
fare. Bureau throughout the coming
vear and to each letter was attached
a blank counter check to be filled out
by the donor.
The letters went out Thursday. . On !
Friday more than 60 checks averaging
$2 were returned, and on Saturday, 182
checks averaging $2.30 came back.
About 6000 letters were sent out and
it is probable that the returns for
Friday and Saturday represent only the
beginning of the contributions which
wlil come as a response throughout
the present week.
The coin cards that have been dis
tributed by the Boy Scouts are still
coming In well, and the committee
urges those who have not sent in
such contributions and who haver re
ceived cards, to do so as soon as pos
sible if they are able and inclined to
assist In the relief of the. poor of the
city.
One hundred Per cent relief on the
amount of money turned into the fund.
and that relief to be operative through
out the whole of the coming year, is
the plan' that the Public Welfare Bu
reau has laid out for itself.
If the $25,000 amount can be made
by the end of this week there will be
no other campaign to secure subscrip
tions from the public for another year.
Contributions this week to the land
for the Public Welfare Bureau should
be sent to the Bureau itself at 444
Courthouse, or may be left with The

tinued in July. 1868. Afterward, in
conjunction with S. A. Clarke, be
bought the Willamette Farmer, which
they published until 1880, selling his

in August. 1884. Mr. Craig continued
with the paper, however, until April,
1893. when he retired from permanent
connection with the newspaper busi

fession for over 60 years.
Mr. Craig was married at OrAgon City
to Miss Wealthy L. Waterous, who
came to Oregon in 1860. The marriage
took place September 16, 1361.
Mr. Craig was the pioneer in the
movement against slavery in Oregon.

W. L. Adams, of being the founder of
the Republican party in Oregon, and
to him may largely be awarded the
honor of having created and advanced
the sentiment which listed Oregon
among the free, instead of among the
slave states.

of Salem, and two grandchildren.

George H. Eager. American consular
representative at Barmen, Germany,
expressed the belief in Portland yes
terday that "present conditions were
apparently favorable to victory by
Germany. Mr. Eager was here on
business connected with his district.
More hogs are being raised in the
country surrounding Barmen than at
any tlms previous to the war and the
entire country is heing made to pro

"Every day drives a nail into the coffin of the Hay Federalized Guard Plan," exclaims
one of the adverse "critics of the National Defense Act, which enabled the Federal Gov
ernment to call out the National Guard of sundry states to do police duty along the Mexican
border.
Now, that the militia is being withdrawn, public interest is keenly alive as to what the
four months' sojourn has accomplished toward a system of National defense.
