He refused absolutely to discuss the democratic national convention or the statement of Thomas B.

SPOKANE, Wash., Jpne 28. (Spe cial.) At the final session and elec tion of officers of the Washington State Council of Carpenters Saturday, retiring President Charles Evans of Seattle flayed the I. W. W. The most important recommenda tion, perhaps, is that the next legis lature will be asked to call a conven tion in 1921 to revise the state consti tution to provide for a "more economical, responsible and popular state government," and to provide a more equitable system of taxation by laying a greater burden on "idle lands, excess profits and surplus wealth," and exempting from taxation, farm improvements and city homes. Another demand is that the next legislature shall create a state indus trial department by consolidating the state labor commisson, the state in dustrial, insurance commission, the state first aid board, the state safety board and the industrial and welfare commission, all of which bodies now deal with matters in which labor is directly interested. The new department, it is proposed, shall create a department of concilia tion and mediation for the settlement of labor disputes, recognizing labor unions and employers' organizations as the representatives of the two ele ments in all industrial strife and prtf viding that boardscomposed of equal numbers of organized workers and or ganized employers shall be appointed to attempt to adjust industrial dis putes. Home rulo for all cities and .the abolition of the present state pub Vlic service commission is another de mand to be made on the legslature. BOY OF ID IS JAPANESE CHILD BUILDS BOAT THAT RCXS BY STEAM. During War Jiinmic Ohy Jid With out Luncheon for Month to Help Swell Red Cross Fund. SEATTLE. Wash.. June 2S. (Spe cial.) A steamboat that "runs, is the most recent accomplishment of Jim mie Ohy. 10-year-old Japanese boy, who lives with his parents over the White House grocery on East Lake avenue. Jimmie became famous in Seattle during the war. His teacher told him about the American Red Cross and what it was doing for wounded sol diers at the battle fronts. One month later the teacher was presented with a well-filled tin box from Jimmie. The box was crammed with nickels and pennies. The teacher made inquiries and discovered that for a whole month Jimmie's little stomach stayed empty around the noon hour in order that he might contribute his mite for the Red Cross. Jimmie didn't even tell his parents of his plan to raise money. He "enjoyed" his hunger secretly. In his 8-year-old mind he considered lunchless days a duty and he per formed it well. Now comes the second big event in Jimmie's life, his invention of a steamship. While it is true that his father, Senshi Ohy, helped him, the actual planning and work was done by the child. He rigged up a boiler out of a piece of pipe, obtained an alcohol lamp, thus arranging for the development of steam. Jimmie took his steamer out to Green lake three or four times a week. He is not claiming a monopoly on the invention and dozens of Seattle boys have taken notes and are now building sure enough steamboats.

The independent stations are doing the best they can under the circumstances, but their allotments have been cut down to only a fraction of their usual amounts and their supply is exhausted long be--fore the day is done.

Coventry, of 2523 Fairview avenue, is home from the Shriners' convention and loud in his praise of Portland. Some one appropriated a silk fiag from a flagpole staff in front of his home while he was away.. He wouldn't mind so much if he were sure a patriot had yielded to the im pulse to acquire the beautiful banner, but he's afraid maybe some bolshevist got-it. And he tells of profiteering that would make a shoe dealer blush. A few farmers on the road to Portland maintain water holes in front of their places and charge $10 for hauling an automobile through the mire, he says. They see that the water hole 'doesn't dry up. Another ruse was to keep the gates closed along detour roads, a 50 cent charge being-levied f or- open-ingr tnem After encountering wretched detour roads and profiteers on the way down, the doctor stuck to . the main line coming back and found the roa.4 good and not infested by bandits, he reports.

MAC AD A3! TO BE USED CLARKES HIGHWAY. ON One Man in District Refuses to Sign Petition for Hard-Surfacing Materials. OREGON CITY, Or., June 28. (Spe cial.) The ghost of a hard-surfaced road came into being here, today at the monthly meeting of the Clackamas County Development league, when it was announced that the road im provement' for the bonded highway in the Clarkes district would consist of macadam, as the stiff grades on the road made paving impracticable. Statements and counter-statements were hurled for nearly five hours. County Judge Anderson explained that that the macadam road had been authorized in response to a petition that only one man in the district had refused to sign. - The league went on record, by a vote of 56 to 17, in favor of carrying out the original programme outlined by the $1,700,000 bonds for permanent roads, and declared in favor of the principle that permanent roads mean pavement and not a substitute. C: Schuebel's motion that the cost of surfacing over and above $11,000, per mile appropriated under the bond issue be 'borne by the districts af fected was lost by a vote of 43 to 56, and a motion by C. K. Spence express ing the league's confidence in the county court's carrying out the bond ing programme to the best of their ability was sustained by a unanimous vote. The meeting today was the result of a verbal upheaval at the last meet ing of the league at Estacada. nearly two months ago, when the resignation of Roadmaster Rands was used as a vehicle for criticism of the court.

Mayor Baker's Absence From Port land and 'Charter Ruling Necessitates .Procedure. City Commissioner Bigelow elected himself president of the city council of Portland. He did it at a special meeting of the council held late yes terday afternoon. Commissioner Bigelow has been president of the council for four years but it seems that when he took of fice following his last election he was not duly elected to serve as presi dent of the council. In fact, nobody happened to think that such formal ities were necessary. But prospective bond buyers raised a question when. In the absence or Mayor Baker, Acting Mayor Bigelow began signing bonds. To remove any doubt, a resolution was prepared by City Attorney La Roohe and passed by he city council naming C. A.- Bigelow as president of the council. Then came a motion by Commissioner Barbur and secondd by Commissioner Mann, that Bigelow be elected to the high office. Under the existing city charter all matters brought before the city council without notation on the coun cil calendar must receive four votes before it is ratified. Mayor Baker is absent from the city and "hence it was necessary for Commissioner Big elow to cast the fourth vote in favor of himself as president of the coun cil. Two Portland Men Arrested.
