Then he put into use the knowledge of - the printing business .that ie had acquired in the office of his father, who was a. master printer in Pittsburg, Pa. "The fidelity . manifested in connect lion with nis work, particularly in the natter of-strict- attention to details, soon attracted the attention of Thomas J.' Dryer, founder of The. Weekly Ore- ffonian, - and he was at once installed as a foreman of his office. Welfare of State Promoted. "Thus his career, first as an employe in, and second as the owner of, a news paper, the name of which, for two generations has become a household word throughout the Pacific northwest, 'began and ended. "Therefore, in view of Mr. Pittock's intimate relations to the varied phases of the life. of. this city and state for 5 years in assisting to promote through the-columns of the paper with which he has-been so-closely identified, the industrial, social,- educational, moral, religious and commercial inter ests of Oregon and the entire Pacific northwest. "It is hereby resolved, first, that as a. society of -fellow workers- to the same end we hereby -adopt this expression as a testimonial of our appreciation of his great service as a citizen, a frierfd and a hearty co-worker in the lines of ef fort mentioned. " "Resolved, second, that this testi monial be suitably engrossed under the direction of the secretary-treasurer of this society and presented to the chil dren of our departed member. "Resolved. That the copy of these resolutions be sent to -the dally Press of this city with a request that they, be published." COMPTROLIEU IS ACCUSED PROHT1XG BY ; DEAL FOR GOV , r ERXMENT CHARGED.

L. Barrett, deck en gineer on the steamer West Harlan, of which McAlpine is first mate.

He asserted that he was -under command of the chief en gineer, and that the deck crew had no control over him.
