At least JSOO in prizes will be offered to the companies and members of the Third Oreg-on Regiment at a military tournament as a part of the Fourth of July celebration. The committee on arrangements yesterday fixed definite plans for the tournament to follow a military parade in the form of a fare well to the soldiers and to be followed by a dinner and a dance at the Mult nomah Hotel. To Adjutant General White was as signed the work of arranging to bring the soldiers to Portland, to arrange the line of march and the tournament to be held at Multomah Field.

The City Council has appro priated $50, there is $400 additional left over from the Fourth of July cele bration of a year ago and it is ex pected that the Board of County Com missioners will give $500. If the $500 is not forthcoming from that source other means will be employed to raise the needed funds. The money to be given as prizes to the soldiers will go Into the company mess funds. It is planned to make the prizes as large as possible, inasmuch as this is the only means that can be resorted to to donate money to the mess fund. The committee has de cided that the total of prize money will be at least $600 and it will be made as much larger as possible. The larger the prizes the greater the amount of money the soldiers will have for the purchase of dainties not a part of their regular menu. Many persons from time to time have tried to donate to the mess funds but army regulations have been against It. The prize plan opens the way. Banquet to Be Elaborate.

Friendly Salt to Be Instituted to De termine "Whether New State Law Overrule. Ordinance. A friendly suit will be instituted in the Circuit Court next week to deter mine whether the state insurance code enacted by the last Legislature super sedes the Portland city ordinance re quiring local insurance agents to pay a Quarterly license fee of $10. The case will be brought by the Oregon Insurance Federation for the purpose of securing an Interpretation of the new law by the State Supreme Court. The Portland situation applies slm llarly in Eugene, Salem, Astoria, Pen dleton and other cities where local licenses are required. The new state code provides, on its face, for increased fees both by the companies operating in the state and by the individual agents. It specifies, too, that the fees to be paid to the state are to be in lieu of all other fees and taxes. The insurance men contend that this provision invalidates all city ordi nances on the subject, but City At torney LaRoche has ruled that the city ordinance in Portland is still valid and has recommended that the city start proceedings to collect the licenses from the agents. The insurance federation has ap pointed a committee composed of George A. Lovejoy, J. H. Bryant, H. S. Hudson. C. H. Weston, K. V. Lively, F. E. Beach. H. H. Ward and C. D. Babcock to bring the suit in a friendly way with the idea of carrying it to the Supreme Court of the state as early as possible. L. C. Mackay and J. C. Veazie have been retained as at torneys for the insurance interests. GRAND JURY INDICTS NINE Six True Bills Returned Yesterday Are Not Made Public.

' Mb--- TRADES ARE VETOED Mr. Baker Will Vote for His Choices Until Last. RUMOR OF DEAL QUIETED Read The Oregon! an classified a.da Mr. BIgelow Apparently lias Power of Decision on Man for Auditor, but Race for Judge May Develop Dark Horse. Mayor-elect Baker will not enter into any trade agreements with other members of the new City Council for the appointment of officials. Such was his assertion yesterday. He says that while no proposals have been put up to him he has heard reports that some were contemplated and that all would be rejected as far as he is concerned. 'I have my choices for the positions to be filled by the City Council," said Mr. Baker yesterday. "I intend to vote for these choices and will not under any consideration vote for some man I do not favor that I may land a man of my choice in some other position. Selections Are Made. T have made up my mind on men I consider fitted to give the city the best service. I presume other members of the Council have done the same thing. I will follow my programme, voting right down the line for the men I con sider best and will expect the others to do the same. Under no circumstances will I enter into any trade, arrange ments." The positions to be flllei by the Council are those of Municipal Judge, City Engineer and City Auditor. To nil each position will require tnree votes. For Auditor it is said Mr. Baker and Commissioner-elect Mann are for li. H. Funk, of the County Assessor's office, while Commissioner-elect Barbur and Commissioner-elect Kellaher are for James Gill, deputy City Auditor. Commissioner BIgelow Is on the fence with power to swing the vote to either side. Race for Judge Close. For Municipal Judge the lines are not so closely drawn. The race Is between Municipal Judge Stevenson and George Rossman, with Mr. Baker apparently strongly lined up for Rossman. Also it is said Mr. Baker Is for retention of Philip Dater as City Engineer. The prin clDal other applicant seems to be O. Laurgaard, with a strong likelihood of a "dark horse" appearing. It is on the question of t-.e positions of Municipal Judge, City Engineer and City Auditor that the trading propo sition has been hinted. Auditor Bar bur is said to be strongly In favor of James Gill for Auditor and not overly anxious either for Municipal Judge or City Engineer. Just what there is to the reports of trades being In the air is unknown except that Dame Rumor is doing considerable talking. Mr. Bar bour is silent except for denying that he is negotiating for any trades. HONOR PAID TO SOLDIER Grants Pass Mourns Death of Mem ber of Aviation Corps. GRANTS PASS,Or, June 27. (Spe cial.
