COVSTV COMMISSIONERS TO HOLD
COSFEREXCI! MONDAY.
Advances for Some Classes of Labor
Conceded to Be Necessary to
Retain Men. .
Brought face to face with the
problem either of losing a large num
ber of their employes or of increasing
wages, the County Commissioners yes
terday decided to hold a conference
Monday to consider the wage question
it affects the various departments.
The beads of the varioos departments
will appear before the Board and
tate just what the employes are de
manding and how these demands may
be met.
It is practically certain that the
men working on county roads will
receive an increase in wages, it was
stated yesterday. The men are now
receiving $2.60 per day but the Board
will increase this wage either to $2.75
or $3.
There are other forms of labor which
are also asking for wage increases
and some of these, too, probably will
be granted, say the Commissioners.
Commissioner Muck said that in his
pinion the county would be unable to
retain many of its employes unless
some sort of wage increase was
granted to conform with wages paid by
private concerns. During the past
two weeks he has secured data rela
tive to the wage scale paid in other
parts of the state and this will be used
at the conference Monday.

a committee composed of Mrs. J. F.
Logan, chairman, aided by Mrs. Frank
Raley and Mrs. C. "Woodard. who
have worked unceasingly to make this
sing, initiating the series for the
Summer, a decided success.
The club's enlargement and general
improvement work was started earlier
in the week and all improvements will
be soon finished to be ready for future
events planned, by the committees re
cently named.
BAND MUSIC FUND GROWS
District Attorney of Dallas Sends
$5 to Guardsmen.
E. K. Plasecki, District Attorney of
Dallas, Or., a member of Company L,
Third Oregon, oh the border last Sum
mer, forwarded a $5 check to The Ore
gonlan yesterday as a contribution to

ness transaction.

of the School District.
Two more candidates are in the field
for School Director. Mrs. Ferdinand
E. Reed, wife of Ferdinand E. Reed,
president of the Laurelhurst CWb, and
Dolph R. Norton, grocer, yesterday
filed declarations of their candidacy
at the school election to be held Sat
urday, June 16.
They are the third and fourth candi
dates, respectively, to file for School
Director. Under the law passed by the
last Legislature reducing the terms of
School Directors in districts of the
first class from five to three years, two

directors are to be elected June 16.
However, the School Board has given
notice that injunction proceedings are
to be undertaken against the law on
the ground that it is vague and un
workable. If these proceedings are successful
there would be only one new Director
to elect, as under the old law. This
Director would be a successor to J. V.
Beach, present chairman of the board,
who has not announced his candidacy,
but is expected to do so.
Two Other Candidates In Race.
The other two candidates besides
Mrs. Reed and Mr. Norton in the field
are Mrs. Ida Coleman, president of the
Woodlawn Parent-Teacher Association,
and U. DeWitt Maxson, president of the
Western Farquhar Machinery Com
pany. Mrs. Ferdinand E. Reed has been &
resident of Portland since November,
1905. She is a taxpayer and property
owner and lives at 171 Royal Court,
Laurelhurst. She has been secretary
of the Fruit and Flower Mission, which
is a day nursery" which takes care of
babies while their mothers are work
ing, for the past eight years. She has
also been active in welfare work for
inmates of the County Farm, and in
educational and charitable work.
Mrs. Reed Makes Statement.
"In connection with this work I have
noticed many things that could have
been done to benefit children in an
educational way, and this fact and the
requests of many friends have induced
me to become a candidate, said Mrs.
Reed in announcing her candidacy.
"I believe that one, if not two wom
en should be members of the Board of
Education when the Board consists of
fives members, as the women of the
city take more of an active interest in
the education of the children than tht
men do."
Mr. Norton is proprietor of a gro
cery store at 335 Union avenue North.
He has lived in Portland 10 years.
He lives at 411 East Twenty-fourth
street North, in the Irvington district.
LAW REVISION PENDING
SYSTEM OF VOTIXG OX MEASURES
MAY BE CHANGED.
Ordinance Is Expected to Be Consid
ered Soon After New City Coun
cil Takes Office.
Steps are to be taken to revise the
city's election laws so that measures
to pass must get a majority of the total
vote cast at the election instead of
merely having to get a majority of the
vote cast on the measure. It is prob
able that soon after the new City Coun
cil takes office an ordinance provid
ing the change will be introduced.
As the law stands measures are
passed if the "yes" vote is greater
than the "no" vote, regardless of the
number of people voting in the elec
tion. Under this the entire city gov
ernment or measures of the utmost im
portance could be passed by a few peo
ple voting for them and others not
voting against them. The system is
such that a failure to vote virtually
counts for the measure.
The change as proposed would bring
about Just the opposite result. Failure
to vote would be a vote against the
measure and a measure to carry would
have to get a majority of the total
vote cast in the election. In other
words, a measure to carry would have
to have sufficient strength to get a
majority vote. This would induce
wide publicity on measures, lessening
the possibility of undesirable measures
being enacted.
Attempt to Stop Rooster's
Crowing Draws Fine.
Lents Neighbors Disagree Over
thicken'" Noise and One Slits
Fowl's Tongue to Silence It.
JOHN WILCOX, aged 68 years, whose
home is in Lents, has been annoyed
for weeks by the crowing of a rooster
belonging to a neighbor, W. L. Cum
mlngs. For days he tolerated the
crowing of the fowl at early dawn
without complaint. But the crowing
began to disturb him to such an ex
tent that he made complaint to the
neighbor about the nuisance. The
ry,; til
-M " " i
J 1 t
rjcfiyri t ti w. I

neighbor demurred and the rooster
continued his nefarious noise.
Somewhere Mr. Wilcox read that if
a rooster's tongue were split he would
be deprived of his vocal powers. So
he caught the rooster one early morn
ing and split its tongue. But the fowl
continued his crowing.
Yesterday Wilcox told Municipal
Judge Stevenson of the affair, and the
Judge, adherring to the principle if not
the letter of a law that says there shall
be no cruelty to animals, fined Wilcox
$25. The fine was paid.
Mr. Wilcox asserted yesterday that
the fowl's tongue was split two weeks
ago, but that nothing was done until
he refused to do soma plowing for the
owner of the rooster, because the
owner had not paid his last plowing
bill. For spite then, Wilcox asserted,
the warrant seeking his arrest was
sought.

Patriotic Feature and Drill of Sailor
Lads Ar Interspersed With
. Sprlnntime Fantasies.
Patriotic features and Springtime
fantasies were intermingled in the en
tertainment given last night by the
little people who live at the Children's
Home in South Portland.
A large number of friends assembled
to -enjoy the clever and artistic pro
gramme presented under the direction
of Miss Mildred Raab. The event was
planned to mark the closing of the term
of gymnasium work.
The playlet given was entitled "A
Dream of the Flowers." The opening
number was a patriotic drill by sailor
lads with flags. A diminutive Uncle
Sam led the drill. Then came a Rus
sian ballet and then the fairy queen
appeared and called all the "flowers
from the meadow arid the woodland
dells and the queen was saluted and
crowned. A fairy dance and a May
pole dance with garlands of daisies and
gay ribbons made up an attractive fea
ture. After the singing of the "Star-Spangled
Banner," the children all enjoyed
a supper of goodies. Miss Ada Nelson
sang a solo and Miss Bessie Nelson was
accompanist throughout the evening.
The girls' costumes were made by Miss
Kelly and Miss Newton, nurses, and
the boys' costumes were planned by the
boys' nurse. Mrs. Fisher. The decora
tions were so arranged that the gymna
sium appeared to be a woodland bower.

HOW? WHY? WHEN?
The most important event of
earth's history, next to our Lord's
First Advent, is his Second Com
ing, and if the latter were rightly
understood would be hailed with
great joy by every liberty loving
person. That the Bible clearly sets
forth the MANNER, PURPOSE
and TIME of this great event will
be ably discussed by
