There i one phae of the situation in precinct Xo. 6, of this city, in connection with the vote there for local option, that mu-t commend itself to the earnet consideration of everyone who casts his vote tomorrow in that behalf, and that is that the brewery is without recourse in the event that the issue goes against it. In this, that the federal government mvs, in the most unambiguous lan guage that such a manufactory as this must do all its office work, it stamping, selling and delivering, from the brewery itself; it cannot manufacture there and cam- the other elements of it busine- leyond the confine of the precinct. It has no recourse, in the event loeal option prevails in Xo. 6, other than the entire abandonment of its plant, under the su preme law of the land. For this reason, those who desire to see justice done to the men who have brought a Mini epial to .200,000 out here frfcra the east, and invested it in a legal and paying enterprise, and who would, all things being undisturbed con tinued the business right where it is, extending and amplifying it in time, will do well to consider the real neces sity, if such exists, for wantonly and deliberately undoing and driving out a concern of such value and importance in a commercial sense. It is strictly up to the property owner and taxpayer of Xo. 6 to say what shall be done in the premise, and the whole responsibility for the loss of the plant will be his, as he shall cast his vote. ALASKA CENTRAL LOST. WASHINGTON", June 3. The failure of the house several days ago to pass the bill relieving the Alaska Central railroad from taxation does not correct ly represent the attitude of congress on tlie que-tion of encouraging railway building in Alaska. The measure failed of passage only beeau-e Minority Leader Williams rais ed the question of no quorum, and there were not enough republicans in the hall to pass the bill. Many of the democrats were against the proposition merely be cause Mr. William-, was against it; and Mr. Williams was against it not on its merits but because he is pursuing the policy of objecting to pretty much ev erything that the majority leaders pro pose. There is a strong sentiment in the house that Alaska railroads should be relieved of the federal tax of $100 per mile. It is unlikely that there will lie some legislation in the near future re lieving not only the Alaska Central but other railroads and proposed railroads in the territory. GET PERMIT. Vancouver Westminster & Yukon R. R. to Extend Line. OTTAWA,. June 3. The bill to per mit the Vancouver, Westminster & Yukon railway to extend its line through Yellowhead pass to Edmonton passed at its third reading in the sen ate yesterday and now awaits only the formal sanction of the governor-general to become a law. It has been strongly opposed on the ground that J. J. Hill is the real moving spirit of the enter prise and that the latter'a purpose is by it to divert Canadian trade to American channels. British Columbia senators and mem bers supported the bill without an ex ception. It was denied that Mr. Hill has anything to do with the road, but several prominent senators asserted even if he had, BritiMi Columbia wanted the railway and will welcome Mr. Hill's enterprise. Mr. Wat-on, of Manitoba, declared that if Mr. Hill was interested in the charter that was so much more reason for passing it. He said Mr. Hill was the greatest railroad builder in Anieri ca and that it was absurd to try to cut off the Canadian frtyn the American West. An amendment was added to the bill guaranteeing to other lines running rights through passes. TO EXCLUDE ALL JAPS JUDGE BONHAM DIES. Government Issues An Order Excluding Japanese From Naval Service Stole Department Secrets For Their Own Country's Use. XKW YORK, June 3. Roused by the discovery, it is said, that the Japanese) government has been securing import ant information ns to the equipment and perummol of the United St.ie navy through Japanese ervunt cm ployed on United States battleships. Secretary liomi parte today inmed n order excluding all daps from employ ment in the navy, ntlont or ashore. Their places are to Ih tilled with na tive Iwru Americans, white or colored. One of the contributing causes for thisj unusual order is revealed in a Mory i told Unlay by officers of the North At-! lantic squadron, now anchored in New j York waters. lss than a month ago a midshipman discovered a Japanese steward making ' remarkable accurate drawing of tiietur-; ret section of oue of the newe-t type of battleships. Search of his personal ef-; fecU disclosed the fact thut he had Iwen ' working secretly for weeks on plans of , the ship and was a remarkably tine , draughtsman. The case was reported at one to the navy department as well j as .similar discoveries said to have Itcen made at the Brooklyn navy yard. j Commenting on the order, Surgeon- General Takaki of the Japanese navy, i who recently arrived here en route from ( Kurope to Tokio, regretted that such discoveries had been made, but admit ted frankly that the action was a wise one. "The United States is simply adopt-1 ing a rule long established in the Jap-' anesc navy." he added. "We have not ; permitted a single foreigner on lamrd j any Japanese vessel during or since the; war, except on special invitation."

(iisugc Mayger, alter deserting his wile and children at Mayger Station and eloping with Olive Harnes, n telephone girl from Portland, has returned with the ImmIv of the young woman, which now lies in n grave at Mount Calvary cemetery, leaving a .mother and two sisters in Portland to mourn for her. With a wife and two children at May ger Station left in doubt ns to the whereabout of father and husband, Mayger suddenly left Portland last September with Olive Barnes, mid for days friend t and relatives were nt a lo-s to know wluit had become i,f dim. Miss Harm disappeared from her home on the. same day as Mayger. and. al though her mother di-claimed any knowledge of her daughter eloping with Mayg'-r, she at list came to believe that what she hail feared had come to puss. Dies in Colorado. When Mayger left Portland it was reported that he had married' Miss liarnes ami was on his way to Aus tralia by way of New York on his honeymoon. No letter or word of any kind was rcc.-ived by any of Mayger's relatives, or by relatives of the young woman, and it wag thought that they had left Portland for all time. A week ago Maygep quietly returned with the body of Olive Barnes, and with little ceremony the remains were laid away on Decoration day in Mount Cal vary cemetery. She died in Silverton, Colo., May 24, and it i supposed that following her wish Mayger brought the lody to Portland for burial. Funeral services were quietly held at' tlx- Catholic Catlic dal last Wednesday. The mother of the dead girl and her sister with Mayger himself, were the only ones present at the services. Mother Admits Death. Mrs. Jennie Barnes, mother of Mrs. Mayger, when seen at her home, 301 Seventeenth street, last night, refused to talk of her daughter's elopement and subsequent death other than to say that "she supposed the dead girl had been her daughter." Misg Banics, sis ter of Mrs. Mayger, has been sick for several day, because of grief from her sister's death. She also is reticent and refuses to discuss any phase of her sis ter's sad ending. George Mayger, although known to be in the city, could not be found at any of the hotels last night, to give an ac count of his wanderings since leaving the city last September. With one wife in the grave and an other with two children in anxious doubt because of his strange and sud den disappearance, Mayger remains in Portland, the victim of a strange ro mance that falls to but few men.
