Men Sow Out Lose Priority. The switchmen's insurrection against unjon and company authority is near ing sundown, so far as Portland is concerned, according to the observa lions of local officials on railroad row. Each day sees new recruits brought to the yards and engines re turned to active service. Nine switchmen, or three full crews, were hired by the Southern Pacific company at its Brooklyn yards yester day, all experienced yardmen who came to the city to take the vacant jobs. They are union men, who as sert that they are in no sense "strike breakers," but that they are taking positions Vbuntarily vacated by rebels from the union. 10 of 17 RdkIdf 9ion Used. The Southern Pacific is now oper ating 10 of its 17 switch engines in the Brooklyn yards. While the O.-W. R. & N. company is still maintaining its embargo against the receipt of freight, its Al bina yards are having little difficulty in h.-indling the perishable goods and merchandise which must go forward, and are now operating with nine crews. The normal complement of yard crews is 27. Three crews are yet out at The Dalles. The Spokane. Portland & Seattlo company has four engines at work, or precisely half its equipment. It is hiring a few men each day. and its officials are of the belief that the end of the present week will see the yardmen's strike reft of all power to cause delay or Inconvenience, with conditions again returned to normal, ltebel Switchmen ftot W anted. From the outwet of the strike the Southern Pacific has declined to rein state the rebel switchmen. even though tin v- should apply for their jobs. The other lines issued an ulti matum, effective last Saturday, to the effect that strikers would be taken back only as new employes, with absolute loss of their former stand ing and seniority. Since that time, company officials said, none of the strikers had returned to work. The strike is breaking, it was said, through the employment of experi enced switchmen from within the union, who have been temporarily at other trades and who are returning.

The yardmen's strike may end Tuesday at midnight, according to statements made today by looal switchmen on strike." Action of the railroad wage adjustment board ap pointed by President Wilson recently is awaited in this city. Upon the de cision of thrs board hangs the fate of the strike. Although the railroad has issued an ultimatum by the terms of which the local strikers were dispossessed of their jobs, since they did not report for work in the time limit set, the switchmen's names have been put back on the board, an indication that they are still employes of the rail road company.

FOUND REMEDY FOR NEURITIS It is impossible to have thin blood and strong nerves. The nerves de pend on the blood for nourishment and if the blood is thin nervous trou ble is certain to follow in time. Sometimes starvation of the nerves results in neuritis. Sometimes there is a nervous breakdown accompanied by nervous headache and Indigestion. When neuritis is the result of weak blood victims of the disease are al most certain to obtain relief by fol lowing the treatment which Mr. Henry Avers, of No. 444 East Second South street, halt Lake City, Utah, describes. "I had neuritis pains all over my body," relates Mr. Ayers, "but the pain was worst in my hands. There was a pricking sensation in my arms, as though they were asleep. Often my arms became numb and I had to rub them before there was any circulation in them. I became very nervous and tiembled a great deal. I was worried over my condition and became greatly discouraged. "By a happy chance I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a news paper and determined to try them. I experienced some relief in a few days after I began to take the pills. 1 was so encouraged that I continued taking the. remedy until the pains practically disappeared. I feci much better in every way. I sleep well and my nerves are stronger. I cannot speak too highly of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." A booklet. "Diseases of the Nervous System," which tells about neuras thenia, will be sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.. Box looa, Schenectady. N. Y. All tirug trists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail, postpaid, on -ceipt of price, 60 cents per box. Adv.

COTTAUK CROVE.' Or.. April IS. (Special.) Information having an im portant bearing upon the mystery of where Opal Whiteley got the French words and the familiarity with the Catholic ritual which are shown, par ticularly in the most recent install ment of her diary published in the Atlantic Monthly, has just been re ceived here. The information, to be of value, pre sumes that Opal is the real daughter of the Whiteleys. Colton, Wash., where the ral and possibly the only Opal Whiteley was born, and where she iived until n"5.irly- 5 years of age. isf. according to tile statement made here, an old-established French community ar.a 80 per cent of the population is Catholic. Not a great stretch of the imagina tion is required to presume that a trrl as precocious as events show the present Opal must have been couid have picked up French words and French geography at that early acre and could have become familiar with the Catholic ritual, despite the fact that her parents were Protestants. A hereditary love for the French language or for the Catholic ritual is not shjown by her later life. During her time at the University, of Oregon she seems not to have given any at tention to French literature and she first became known to the public when, at 17 years of age. she was elected president of the Junior En deavor of the state of Oregon, an organization within the Christian church.

Phillips to the position of civil serv ice examiner over three ex-service men who were at the head of the eligible list to be illegal. Mr. Meier said in part: "I shall not undertake in this opinion to cite the conclusions reached by many courts of last resort with respect to a simi lar contention, but content myself with the expression of the conclusion that, in my opinion, charter amend ment No. 11 does not violate the pro visions of the state constitution."

WE Americans may be thoughtless. Sometimes, we may appear selfish. But when a great need arises, no one can say that we have ever shirked. Ask any son of France. Ask any soldier of Great Britain. Or ask any Armenian mother or a girl with a red cross on her sleeve or one with a tambourine in her hand. And now the churches come to us for help our churches. Not begging. Not asking alms. But with heads lifted high facing a task so worthy that we, as loyal Americans, ought to feel it a privilege to help. Here is the Plain, Unvarnished Truth We don't need to be told that the church is the heart of the Nation. We admit its influence for lasting good in our children. We see its stabilizing influence on our com munities. We know a little of its great hospitals, its homes for children, its schools and colleges here and abroad. But most of us do not realize how pitifully inadequate the support of the churches is when compared to the urgent needs. Less than 3$ a day! In spite of the great tasks which we expect our churches to carry out, those of us who give to the church and the number is all too few are now giving an average of less than 3ff a day for all church purposes. . Less than 3 a day. Shall our churches go on? It is for you to say. Without your help the work of your church must be iust that much less.
