THE SUXI3AY OREG0MAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 22, 1907. 10 EXIT IVORY CUBES Independence Mayor Puts Ban on All Games of Chance. SALOONS CLOSED SUNDAYS Hor-Pickers leaving Town, and Strife Over Local Issue Dies Down for at Least an other Season. INDEPENDENCE, Or., Sept. 21. Spe cial.) The Ud is on in Independence good and tight. Not even U!i;e can be shaken to gee who pays for the cigars. A and the slot machines nave oeen rele gated to the back rooms or at least have been placed out of business. . The new order is the result ot an edict to Marshal Collins and his deputy from President of the Council J. H. Hanna and Acting Mayor of the city since the resignation ot Mayor Pad dock a few weeks ago. The saloons have been closed for the past two Sun days as a result of complaints made against the proprietors by Reverends W. J. Douglas and Launer. and Peter Kurre. They visited the saloons per sonally the first Sunday after hop picKing operations begaa and found them running in violation of law. District Attorney McNary was notihed and he Issued instructions to his dep uty and to the sheriffs office and also to Justice of the Peace Wilson, of this cl.y, to do their duty in case any com plaints were filed. The complaints were made and filed before Justice .ilson and the proprietors of all the' saloons appeared before him, pleaded guilty and paid their flnps. Since the opening Sunday of hop picking the saloons have been closed on that day. but it is alleged some games of chance have been permitted since during the week days and it is this feature of the business that has called from President of the Council Hanna the edict to close all games of chance of whatever kind, including slot machines, dice, etc. ' I tush During Hoppicking Season. The open town question .in Inde pendence Is not a new one, and wltn each recurring hoppicking season the question bobs up, and with each succeeding season appears to Increase In volume as a local Issue. The sit uation in Independence and vicinity Is somewhat different from most Val ley towns during the hoppicking sea son as there are thousands of pickers who come here from Portland and all surrounding sections of the couhtny for the purpose of camping out and as sist In harvesting the hop crop. The business men of the city and many others recognize that for the few weeks of busy hoppicking everybody 1 at work making every dollar pos sible. The work must necessarily be done with a rush in order to harvest the crop. This being the case the business houses as a rule have opened their doors on Sunday to permit the campers'to secure supplies for the suc ceeding week. The custom has been in effect for many yet-rs and although there has been some protest and even the past few weeks there have been reports that complaints would also be filed against proprietors of the busi ness houses that have been open for business, but as yet none have been made and it Is not thought the ques tion in this direction would be pressed. As to the question of n open town the subject has not been brought to a vote in the Council and until it is the attitude of that body in that direction is not definitely known. The subject came up In one evening s session when Marshal Collins asked for instructions. One or two Councilmen expressed their - lnlon to the effect that he as marsnal was the one to enforce the laws and that his oath in regard to enforcing the laws should govern in the matter. No vote as to an open or closed town policy was taken and the question only occupied the attention of the body a short time. Saloons Obey Closing Order. The trouble has arisen lanzi y from the efforts of the saloon proprinlors to open their places for business on Sun day, the same as the other business houses. This was not permitted and will not be in the future. They were open but for one Sunday and that by the back door route. The saloons have not attempted to open the back doors since and doubtless will not in the future. The edict of President of the Coiincil Hanna goes not only for sup pression of all forms of gambling, but against minors entering the saloons. The question of Sunday observance has been a red hot one since hop- .icking began, but now. since the season has about closed, the question doubtless will subside and local affairs assume a more peaceful tendency until next hoppicking. at least. 1! LOSE NATIONAL FUi ORKGOX Gl'AKD COMPANIES NOT OF Fl'LIi STKKXGTH.- Officers Confer With General Gree ley He- Proposes Reforms, Par ticularly to' Conciliate Unions. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Sept. 21. (Spe cial.) Colonel C. E. MacDonell. of the Third Regiment. Oregon National Guard, and General Jackson called on Major General Greeley at Vancouver yesterday to discuss the condition and necessities of the National Guard. According to an act of Congress ap proved January 21. 1903, the companies of the National Guard are required to have enlisted 58 men each. The act fur ther provides that any companies that have not the required number by January 1, 1908, will cease to be recognized by the Government and to draw their allowance. Only one company in Oregon, that at Sa lem, and two in Washington, those of Vancouver and North Yakima, had the required number at the last .encampment, so that, if the act is enforced, the effect will be to render all the guard In .Wasn lngton and Oregon, except the three com panies named, incapable of drawing Na tional allowances. It is considered cei -tain that the next Congress will grant relief. All of these matters were dis cussed by the officers with General Greely. General Greely states that the order Js nearly Impossible of enforcement under presfit conditions without destroying the National Guard, and he thinks it advis able to lower the requisite number con siderably. Many questions of importance to the National Guard were discussed, General Greely reiterating the statements made In his annual report, in which he says: "It is evident thtj additional legisla tion, both state and National, will be necessary If the National Guard aB a whole Is to be brought to that degree of efficiency essential to the National wel fare and requisite in a military service maintained for actual warfare, maintained for actual warfare. Twelve Adjutant-Generals of the National Guard were questioned and they found, by de-. elding according to the opinions of the majority, that: "First, the members of the National Guard who are employes of the state, county or municipal governments are not deprived of any part of their wages while necessarily absent on important military duty. "Second, it is the custom of large firms and corporations to make deductions in the wages of their employes who are membcis of the National Guard, for time of necessary absence on important mili tary duty, as, for instance, on order of the Governor or other competent state authority. In one state they report that employes are discharged for joining the militia. "Third, that the fact that a man is a National Guardsman does militate against him to some extent in the estimation of employers when he applies for work. "Fourth, that great difficulty is felt in keeping organisations filled with desirable men. and suggest the following causes: "One, influence of the labor unions; two, lack of interest in military affairs and, in at least one state, lack of state pride and National patriotism; third, prosperous times and plenty of work; fourth, inadequate pay and allowances; fifth. Inadequate state and National ap propriations. "The following remedies were sug gested: First, increased appropria tions; second, increased pay and allow ances, at least to the extent of fully defraying a soldier's expenses while at tending his military duties; third, building suitable armories, combining in same not only facilities for drill, but also facilities for rational amuse ment and recreation. "It is found, also, by investigation, that the labor unions influence re cruiting, and the remedy suggested Is to educate the labor unions to a full understanding that the Guard should not be looked upon as enemies; in oth er words, create a more friendly senti ment as between the Guard and the unions, giving them to understand that their common object should be the general welfare of the country and the community in which they live." In ijeference to the condition and ne cessities of the National Guard, Gen eral Greely says: "The condition of the militia indi cates a lack of co-ordination as re gards military cpdes and regulations, and in some cases inconsistencies call ing for legislation. For instance, in the administration of justice one state, so it Is reported, uses diplomas and moral suasion, and each state has a different system more or less effective. "There should be some uniformity prescribed by National legislation and enforced by the United States Courts, if the State Courts are powerless In the premises. A spirit of indifference to the high and solemn responsibility of citizenship cannot fail to taint the regular service, and is one of the pro lific sources of desertion today. "The defects obtaining in the North ern Division may not be characteristic of the National Guards in other states, but as they indicate the necessity for further centralized ' action, to insure uniformity and co-ordination, they are submitted without definite recommen dations." M'MINNVILLE FAIR , TUESDAY Committees Busy Getting Exhibits In Place Governor Will Speak. McMINNVILLE, Or., Sept. 21. (Special.) Exhibits for the second annual Yamhill County School Fair and Stock Show, which will open here on Tuesday, Septem ber 24, are being placed in position by the various committees in cnarge. The horti cultural and agricultural exhibition will come from every section of the county, and will far surpass in magnitude those of last year. The county's livestock will be adequately represented also, if one may judge by the reservations already made. Stalls have been taken for 65 head of horses, 30 cattle, lou sheep and goats, and about 30 hogs. A large display of fancy poultry will be made, about 75 coops having been prepared for that ex hibit. Arnold's shows have been engaged to give exhibitions during the four days of the fair. General admission will be free, and the large park and the com modious buildings are at the disposal of the expected visitors during the event. Speaking and a literary and musical pro gramme will be given -each of the four days. Governor Chamberlain will make an address on the opening day. NO EFFORT TO HIDE FACTS San Francisco Health Officials Will I Tell Truth About Plague. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21 At a joint meeting today of the Federal, state and municipal authorities to discuss the bu bonic plague situation, the following reso lution was unanimously adopted: Resolved. That it be the sense of this meeting that the fullest authorized publicity be given to the plague situation In tho city at all times; that the newspapers be requested to publish such reports as may be furnished by the Department of Public Health.; that the interests of the city are best served by this course. The decision henceforth to encourag3 publicity is in line with the views held from the beginning by the Federal au thorities, who disapproved of efforts to ward concealment 1.9 unfair, futile and often dangerous. The total number of verified cases of plague to date is 39; deaths, 22; unveri fied suspects. 23. Rose Festival Needs $100,000. ' At the meeting of the executive com mittee of the Portland Rose Festival, held last Wednesday night in the Swetland building, it was decided that the amount of the fund for the expense of next year's festival shall be 1100,000. It is not improbable that an even larger amount will be subscribed. It was 'originally proposed to raise J50, 000, but after a discussion of the im petus to trade furnished by the festi val of last June, it was unanimously decided that double that sum would be none too large for a rose festival of the size outlined for next year. Each member of the executive committee will have charge of the collection of funds among a certain class of profes sional men, merchants, industrial and financial organisations. The task of selecting a capable and energetic body of men to raise this fund is now in progress. The full list of these sub committeemen will be ready for ac ceptance at the next meeting of the executive committee, to be held Wednesday night in the. Swetland building.

Disappearance Still a Mystery. Though the entire police force of the city has been diligently searching for him, no trace has yet been found of Dan Dinneen, the 4-year-old son of William Dinneen, 51 Northup street, who has been missing from his home since the night of September 4. ' On the night in question he was sent into the cellar to cut kindling. He turned on the light and was heard at work. After several hours elapsed members of the family went to look , for him. The kindling was cut, but there was no trace of th boy, nor has any trace of his whereabouts been secured since that itme. - The mystery surrounding his disappearance is deepened by the fact that his money-bank was not touched, and the further fact that he took no clothing with him except that which he wore. Y'oung Dinneen is de scribed as tall for his years, slender, slightly stoop-shouldered, with black hair, ruddy complexion and dark blue eyes. He has a front tooth of gold. Unitarian Women's Alliance.

The awards were as follows: Firstprize, a tie between Mrs. Sophia Jacobson, 326 Park street, and Mrs. Eunice Candy, Montavilla. The prize, a $50 meat order, is divided. Their letters covered the same point, so but one is repro duced. It follows: ' "The Federal stamp upon meat and meat food products means that the meat is from healthv animals, killed and prepared under proper sanitary conditions; contains no Impurity nor harmful preservative, chemical or dye, and is labeled and sold under its true name.'' Second prize, a tie between Anna S. Ketchum, Woodlawn Station, and H. Groves, North Third street. The prize, a $40 meat order, is divided between them. Miss Ketchum s answer: "First, it (Government inspection) extends both domestic and foreign markets, directly benefiting the stock raiser and indirectly the whole nation. Second, it is a guarantee, of purity and quality, and that the animal was killed and the meat prepared under the best sanitary condi tions, thus protecting the health of the consumer. The O"""5" stamp causes inquiry, education follows and trade consequently flows to the dealer In inspected meats." Mr. Groves' answer: "To my mind the middle portion of page 23 of the little blue book contains the kernel of the whole argument, though it would require a mental magnifying glass to see where one part is more logical than an"Meat being our most important food, questions concerning it "from hoof to can' are the most vital problems now before, the public for solution. Sanitary conditions are very important Issues. Being a cook the writer is in a position to. know that there are meats on the marltet that are not up to the standard and are pressed upon the unwary. The third prize, a $30 meat order, was a tie beFween F. M. Neill, 415 Fifth street, and Miss V.. E. Graham, 421 East Twelfth street. The prize was divided, v Mr. NeilFs answer: "The speech of U. S. Solicitor McCabe is moderate yet powerfully strong and convincing: the protection for foreign countries against un healthy Ame?l7an food animals and meats is right-and wise and bene fits our own people T and our own Nation. The Federal stamp upon meats wifl stand ?or something. It guarantees the healthf ulness, wholesome ness and purity, of the product."
