They are affective from March 1 At present seven districts are em braced In the scope ef the Signal Corps lumber activities. There will be slight variations In the. wage scale In dif ferent districts, the commander told the conferees. The varying costs of ge'tmg out lugs will be a factor In arrangement of the scales. Scores of Legion delegates had come the conference Instructed to ba on guard to protect the rights of the work- rs they represented.

For nearly an hour Colonel Plaque snswered most of these. The conferees then suddenly realised that they were "talking pins." that their work had been accomplished. With s suddenness that startled, a motion to adjourn was put through, the confer net closing shortly after 4 o'clock. Those who arranged the conference were astounded at the large percent age of legion locals which responded by having delegates on hand. Of the 494 locals now la existence 441 were officially represented. This In spite of the fact that the call for the con ference went out only last Wednesday night. Many districts so remote there seemed no opportunity for them to get a representative to Portland in time had delegates present. IaJaad Kasplre Mea Coming.

The three daughters, including Mrs. Miller, promised to keep their mother supplied with suitable and sufficient clothing.

The death of Arthur Marshall, S3, whiten occurred while Mr. Marshall was taking a bath Sunday morning in the Northern Hotel, Second and Jefferson streets, was caused by the failure of the hotel proprietor to provide a vent pipe for the gas heater in the bath room, according t4 a statement made yesterday by Dr. Earl Smith, county Coronor.
