OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOIiEK 21, 1902. NO. 97 v When Choosing' A WIFE A man of sense wants not only good looks, but charming manners a genial temperament. So it it when a gentle man is in search of a suit or overcoat. Sweatshop clothes are frequently made from nice looking cloth, but character is lacking. The cloth is not shrunk like "High Art Clothes "1 in stead of High Art linen canvass, oth ers put in cheap burlap. Instead of hair cloth stiffening as in High Art clothes, cheap clothing has some poor starched material. Whim ordinary clothes becomo wet they got out of shape, while High Art clotfn "Uy put," m President Roosevelt would say. Tho price of High Art clothes is but little more (if any more) than ordinary clothes.

ASKS MORE SALARY. j I cumrn nan i v vi v .sum Treuaurer Pcaley at the Inst meeting In which the council was asked to In crease the salary attuched to the of' rtce, which la 1900 yearly. In report Ing on the communication Chairman Brlx, of the ways and means commit tee said he thought that, If any In crease were to be made, It should take effect on January 1. However, he Ve- lleved other oftlclala were entitled to the first Increases. Some years ago the salaries of all city officials wore re duced 20 per cent, and later were re stored except In the case of the at torney, auditor and jurveyor. If any Increase were justified by the condition of the finances of the city, Mr. Brlx thought It should go to those three of ficials. The Increase was not granted. Councilman Hansen presented an or dinance providing tin Increase of $5 a month In the salaries of the drivers and engineer of thn fire department. The men are now receiving $65 month ly. The matter has been referred to the ways and means committee. STREET MATTERS.

An ordinance for the Improvement of both thoroughfares was paused under unMon of the rules lust night. Ordinances establililiig the grade of Franklin avenue from fourth to Fifth and that of Fourty-nlnth from Cedar to Birch were paased under suspension, while a resolution declaring the Inten tion to establish the grade of Fiftieth street between Cedar and Birch was adopted. An ordinance providing for a drain on Thirty-fourth street was passed, and the surveyor was Instructed to re port the most practicable grade on Third between Commercial and Ex change.

Hume Mr. Hume needs the property In ques lion for h'a wharf, but the other In terested property owners have not been consulted and a request for unanimous consent for suspension of the rules was not forthcoming.

There were 662 delegates present and ihty werj empowered by the local unions to cast S07 votes for or against President Roosevelt' proposed plan of arbitration. Th? .jueetlon of eny.neers flreiwn and pumpmen getting their ;hv? back proved the only Mumbling block in the way of almost immediate adoption of the president'! plan, which tarries with it declaring th strike off and a general resumption of work through the hard coal mine region. The ltadera of the strikers, except Mitchell, were hardly heard at all In the convention today, the engineers be irg allowed to give full expression to their teelings. But tomorrow, it Is prjdlcted, Ihe leader vlll be heard, and one of them said tod-iy that there would not be 'more than J5 votes re. coided agatist the plan which Presi dent Rooseveltha3 proiwsed. to them. and which all of the highest officials of the mlnewoikers In this region have earnestly requested. The.- were two sessions, forenoon and afternoon, and th; net result us re gards the progress of the convention toward Its great object vas permanent organization, with Mitchell In the chair; his speech laying the president's plan before the delegates, his eloquent Impromptu speech advocating its adoption and the appointment of ".be committee on resolutions. The cues tion before the convention when it ad' Journed for the day was on the adop tion of the resolution embodied in Mitchell's opening speech to call off the strike and leave all questions to the president's commission. lresldent Mitchell was unable to at tend the morning session, but he pre sided in the afternoon and read a carefully prapared opening address. The closln? words of Mitchell's ad dress were: "That there are discordant elements in this convention, that there are dis satisfied ones at home, I am fully aware, but, gen-.lemn, with all the earnestness of .vhtch I am possessed, I urge that you give approval to the action of your executive officers, who have recommended the acceptance ot the proposition that the strike be de clared off and all men are then to" re turn to work In their positions, and their working places occupied by them prior to the Inauguration of the strike, and that all questions at issue be sub mitted for adjustment to the tribunal selected by the president or the United States." Tremendous applause greeted the close of the address. Later In the day. speaking of. the complaint that the engineers, firemen and pumpmen would not Becure their former positions, Mitchell said to the convention: 'As you know, the companies refuse direct negotiations with us, though from the Intermediaries we have re ceived assurance that the companies are going to meet the Issues squarely; that as far as possible the men are to be returned to their old places. While we shall try with all the power we have to get every man that struck back to his old job, we will make spec ial efforts for none and show special favor to none. It may be true that some will be sacrificed, and, as much as we shall regret, I desire to say that no battle was ever fought, no victory ever won that did not carry with It some victims. Lives have been lost to gain the most 'trllilant victories that were ever won In the world." The committee on resolutions met to morrow, Nothin? official was given night and outline! t set of resolutions to be presented to the convention to out as to what they will contain.
