Orders for most of the boxcar, re

have been placed with the American
Car -a Foundry Company, with the ex

In their construction be procured la

Uarrlman tinea. The order for the
necessary lumber, which will a4tirres;ate
approximately S0.000.0og feet, now are

said, have been received by Portland

Th prevailing market price for this

hands of mlllowner and their employe

This t one of the blgarest orders for
this kind of lumber ever placed In the
1nttd States. Two years ago the local
mills cut about sO.0oo.eoo feet for car
builder filling similar orders for the
Harrlman system. That order alone,
tt Is said, exceeded this one In s'.ie.
For four or five years the H.arrtman
ratlraads have made It a condition upon
the eoncern with which they placed
their order for new car that all th
lumber need n the work be procured
In tselr territory. In addition to this
they influence lumber orders from the

LODGEMEN TO TOUR STATE
Oddfellows Grand Master Plans
Novel Visiting Trips.
W. A. Wheeler, elected grand master
of th grand lodge of the Oddfello'
order of the state at Pendleton, has
TaKurned. and has already outlined a
novel official trip througn the state
this year, visiting lodge, mainly by
automobile. Heretofore, It baa been
the practice of grand master to visit
the lodges on the main traveled rail
roads and towns easy of access, while
remote lodges were visited seldom and
many never have cen the head of the
order, ltut Mr. Wheeler plan to spend
practically all his time during good
weather visiting the remote lodges,
using his automobile. He will fit up
his automobile so he can camp out at
any place ha may desire while on the
road.
After Investigation Mr. Wheeler came
lo the conclusion that an automobile
ill be the best vehicle of transporta
tion In covering the state, besides tt
ill be a trip of Interest, fie will be
the first head of any organisation to
e an automobile In this manner.
Mr. Wheeler Is a member of Orient
Ixvdge. No. 17, and ha been a member
or the order since 1SS4. Joining at
Ketchem. Idaho. He Is a son of Jacob
Wheeler, an Oregon pioneer. For so
ars he was puMlsher and editor of
he Pacific Oddfellow, which he re
ently disposed of.

Proposal Is lo Have Capital Itaised
by Bond Issue and Directors
Appointed by Conrt,
For several reasons, lawyers are not
Isposed to consider seriously a pro
posed Initiative measure, offered by
cltlsens of Jackson County, by which
the organisation of the "Taxpayers' Na
tional Bank of Jackson County" Is
contemplated. It 1 because of the) nu
merous and apparently valid reasons
why such a mesatire could not be en
acted and if enacted would not be con
stitutional, that those who have studied
the measure at all are about convinced
that the authors of the bllL whose names
have not been made public, are them
selves not serious in suggesting such
legislation.
Briefly, the plan proposes the estab
lishment of such a National bank In
Jackson County, whose directors shall
be seven men. to be appointed by the
County Court. Authority 1 also con
ferred on the County Court to Issue
2-year. non-Interest bearing bonds to
the amount of ll.ftOO.OOO, to be secured
by the assessable property of the coun
ty, estimated to be worth about 140.
000.000. The bonds so Issued, provides
the bill, are to be deposited in the Na
tional Treasury at Washington In ex
change for currency therefor. The
County Treasurer Is made cashier of
the proposed National Bank and he and
the members of the County Court are
to receive no salary other than that
already allowed them under the law.
In the opinion of Portland lawyers
the scheme Is not only Inconsistent In
a general way with the Initiative
amendment of the state constitution
but In essential details It does not con
form to the requirements of the Na
tional statutes regulating these insti
tutions.
In the first place the title of the bill
declares tor raising funds for making
public Improvements In Jackson Ccuntj'
while the body of the Initiative meas
ure makes no reference to such im.
provements. A further constitutional
objection Is urged against the measure
for the reason that It proposes the ere-

and hurried Patrolmen Sherwood and
Miller out to catch the man and turn
him over to the Sheriff. Sossraan had
paid the fine of $20 Imposed by the
Municipal Court.
Back of these proceedings yesterday
Is a long story, touching at many
points the series of revelations which
have been made within the past year
with reference to police affairs. Soss
man was arrested by Detective Lytle,
whose connection with the police force
ceased soon afterward. Sossman came
from his term, at the rockpile vowing
all sorts of revelations, and was a wit

turned a number of indictments.
