A. R. McDonald, a member of the
Shlpcarpenters' und Joiners' Union, was
waylaid by thugs Thursday night on
Second and Jefferson streets and robbed
of IS6. lie is now lying at his home at
247 Whituker (street In a semi-conBclous
condition, and his chances for recovery
are said to be very remote. .
Shortly ufter Its occurrence the matter
was reported to the police. Dut It has
been withheld from the public With the
expectation that the assailants would be
apprehended more quickly. Detectives
Kerrigan and Snow have been employed
on the case, but as yet no definite clue
has been found.
Built Boats.
McDonald has a small working shop on
First and Flanders streets and Thursday
he completed building a couple of small
boats for private parties. The bfil came
to 186 and he was paid the same day.
Along In the evening, as near as he can
remember, he was walking along Second
street close to Jefferson, when he was
assaulted. He was beaten Into insensi
bility and was found In this condition
late at night. The unfortunate man was
conveyed to his home, but officers have
been unable To get much Information
from him. He In In a stupor, for the
greater part of the time and can give no
Intelligible account of what . happened
after he drew his pay. No one - but
physicians and officers are permitted to
see the patient. He Is a middle-aged man
and has a wife and children. He was
temperate In his huhtts and those who
know him best say that he never squand
ered his money or had any trouble with
anyone. They say It is a deliberate case
of attempted murder, with robbery aa
the motive.
Parties Suspected.
Mrs. McDonald, his wife, says that
she suspects who did It, but will not
make known her suspicions until she
has some tangible evidence to support
her theory. She believes that the guilty
parties knew Just when he would draw
this money, and lay In wait for him to
waylay and possibly murder him.
rhe Injured man has several rlos
broken, his body is terribly bruised and
his head Is badly beaten up. He Is in
the most excruciating pain.- and his re
covery is looked upon as doubtful.

Independence wishes the support of
Portland In the matter of petitioning
the Southern Pacific Ha I road to change
their service on their Corvallls branch.
The Independence Improvement League,
through Its secretary, has written to the
Board of Trade, requesting its co-operation.
G. A. Hurley, its, secretary.
i writes:
"In looking over the train rdute, I
find that on the West Bide there are
three trains dally eacii way, all leaving
or arriving at Portland. First, the
Sheridan. Second, th. Vamhftl division,
boro. Forest Grove,. ndi MeM,mnvtlle to
Sheridan. Second the Yamhill division,
leaving Jefterson street (by the way of
Newberg and Dayton and by way of
Dallas. Third, the Corvallis passenger.
by way of Illllsboro, Forest Grove. Mc-
J Mlnnvllle and Independence to Corvallis.
"I suggest that the following system
be adopted:
"First, that the Yamhill division i
by way of Newberg, Dayton and Sher
man, drop back to Sheridan Junc
tion, a distance of only seven miles, or
near that, and run on to Dallas, making
a round trip each day. Second, that the
Sheridan passenger train be run as far
as Whiteson. as it la now, and then put
on the run to Cprvallls. making one
round trip each day. Third, that the
Corvallis passenger be kept on Its pres
ent run.
"This would give the traveling men
a service wherein they could better
tover their territory. It would give
Sheridan passenger connections, directly
with Dallas and the Southern part of
the state. It would give Dallas and
Independence three regular trains each
day. through the motor connection
It would give McMinnvllle double ser
vice south of Weaton. It would ac
commodate the merchants and business
men of the whole valley, by Jiving them
an opportunity to go to Portland, tran
sact such business as they may have
mere, anu allow them to return home
the same night. Further, it would not
discommode a city on the whole route,
and not necessitate another train on the
line; be but little more expense to the
Southern Pacific, while It would, be of
Inestimable value to the whole of the
VMllamette Valley from Corvallis to
Portland."

Twenty-five Cents an Hour
Others Get Less.
About 25' men employed In loading; a
Southern Pacific train with railway iron
have struck for higher pny. They were
receiving 35 cents an hour and asked
for 40 cents, and as their demand was
not granted quit work. The men have

shoremen were discharging her and when
the railroad gang struck the former hod

loaded on cars as fast as It was removed
from the ship. It is believed that the

TRIBUTE TO MRS. CRANSTON.
LOOK TO THE WEST.
W. T. Taylor, who came to Portland
two weeks ago from Minnesota, closed
the deal for one of the largest farms on
the Clackamas River today. He will at
once move to his new1 farm and says
there are many other good oitlzens of
Minnesota looking this way. He Is very
much pleased with Oregon, and when he
saw it, was at onceteonvlnced that' It
possessed many advantages over the
Middle West, and he considers It the
very place for the enterprising home;
seeker.
The Methodists of the city met yes
terday afternoon at the Grace M. E.
Church in a memorial service for Mrs.
Earl Cranston, wife of their Bishop,
whose death In Mexico a week ago came
as such a shock to them. The hour when
the services were being held In the old
home at Cincinnati, O., had been chosen
for the service here.
The different sneakers touched on Mrs.
Cranston's life as it was best known to
them. Dr. LathroD. as her nastor. fold

tendance at the services and her sympa

ties. Dr. TaJbott spoke for the mother
church. His personal acquaintance with
the deceased had been slight since he
came to Portland, he said, but In his for
mer charge he was most familiar with
her name. She had gone among the peo
ple as a bride and they had never for
gotten her work for them. Dr. Rockwell,
presiding elder, spoke with special feel
ing of the mourning family,' while Mr.
McDanlels, who represented Dr. Fisher,
editor of the Pacific Christian Advocate,
felt himself the bearer of a tribute from
the constituency of Methodism through
out the Northwest., He told of the gra
cious hospitality that had made a visitor
from a far-away town, however humble,
a most welcome guest.
Mrs. W. H. Saylor gave the personal
testimony of a fellow worker In the Co
lumbia branch of the Women's Foreign
Missionary Society, of which Mrs. Cran

voice trembled as she told of all the dead
had been to them, and how much they
must miss her in their society.

The conductors and motormen In the
employ of the City & Suburban Street
Railway were made happy this morning
oy tne announcement that they would
receive an Increase of wages, the new
scale to go Into effect March 1. It Is
as follows:
All who have been employed by the
company three years or more. 25 cents
an hour; from two to three years. 24
cents; 18 months, 22 A cents, and for the
first six months, 20 cents.
I he employes sent a largely signed
petition to the company sometime ago
asking for an increase, stating that their
living expenses were becoming consider
ably higher all the time, and that they
thought 25 cents an hour should be
granted them. The employes on the
City & Suburban have no union, bu
mey were a unit in asKlng ror the in
crease. They requested that the scale
be made 25 cents an hour to all em
ployes. They were receiving 224 cents,
the same rate as is paid by all the other
lines in the city, with the exception of
the O. W. P. & R. Co.. which pays 23
cents an hour. In speaking of the new
scale this morning, Superintendent Swl
gert said:
Swigert Talks.
"Almost half of our employes will re
ceive 25 cents .an hour under the new
scale which has been prepared. A great
many of them have been in the employ
of the company for the past 10 or 12
years. My idea in paying the men
longest In our employ more than those
who have been working for us a Bhorter
length of time is to give them some In
centive to stay w(th their positions. The
longer they stay the more competent
they becomg. anA they are entitled to
more wages than beginners. For this
reason (we want to retain them, and the
wage scale as now arranged will be an
Inducement for them to remain."
. The emplyoes of the other roads have
asked for an increase., the new scale
as prepared by the union to go into ef
fect April 1. but as yet the agreement
has not been signed. The union, how
ever, is confident that It will be at a
very early date.
RAILWAY UNIONS.
W. R. Apperson, business agent of the
I'nited Brotherhood of Railway Em
ployes, has returned from an official
visit to the railway unions at Tacoma
and Seattle. There are two divisions
of the r. B. of R. E. at Tacoma and
one at Seattle. He reports that all of
them are in a flourishing condition and
growing rapidly. George Estes, presl
dent of the organization, is now in San
Francisco, but expects to return to Port
land Boon. From here he will make an
organizing tour of the state.
THE PAINTERS
There Is no change In the situation
between the Painters' TTnlon and the
Master Painters' Association. The lock
out which is threatened to occur on
March 2, Is not looked upon with any
degree of seriousness by the members
of the unions. They say that the asso
ciation is not comprised of all the boss
painters In the city, and that work in
their line will not come to a complete
standstill by any means. In the event
that the lockout does occur.
ELECTED OFFICERS.
Saturday the Swiss Aid Society held its
annual meeting and re-elected the fol
lowing officers: Consul Blrscher, presi
dent; Thomas Splllman, vice-president;
Stephen von Esohen, secretary; Ademar
Vulllewmier. treasurer; Anton Bischof-
berger, Peter Roth and Charles Wfer,
trustees.
CO-OPERATION
AT THE FAIR
Labor and Socialists are Giving
Subject Consideration.
J. C. Cooper of McMinnvllle, a director
of the Lewis and Clarke Faire, was in
the city Saturday. 'Mr. Cooper. is also
chairman of a ( comoilttee which was
formeu a few 'weeks afeo by representa
tives of the Socialist party and union
labor men of the state to devise and sub
mit plans for the establishment of a co
operative concern of some character and
operate It during the Fair. The idea
Is to. demonstrate the oractlcabillty -of
such a venture and the promoters pf the
scheme concluded that the big centen
nial would be just the place to make an
experiment along this line.
No plans have yet been submitted and
when Mr. Cooper was asked if he had.
given the project much thought since the
adjournment of the. committee he replied:

consideration, but have not yet hit upon

He stood in absolute silence.
"What do you plead?" asked the
Court. Fred M. Anderson's face quiver
ed an Instant and he seemed, about to
speak. ' But no words came.
"Guilty or not guilty?"
A slow red mounted into the prison
ers race and he mumbled under his
breath.
'What do you want to say?' demand
ed Judge Sears.
'Can I get my sentence? asked An
derson In a whisper.
But Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Spencer was unwilling that the man be
railroaded and a lawyer was appointed
to look after the young fellow.
Anderson Is charged with stealing a
watch from Irene Watson. In the Police
Court he showed a bravado that seems
to have utterly failed him now.
City Should Appoint Official Who
Will Visit Shops-Willing
to Aid.
Front-street merchants are a unit in
favor of the establishment of a meat in
spector for this city. They say that
they ore perfectly willing that every
piece of meat that enters their estab
lishments should be Inspected by
proper official of the city or state.
"We are as much In favor of a meat
Inspector as the public." said John Toft
of Toft. Hlne & Co.. wholesale Jobbers
of meats, "and I think It would be to
the interest of every meat man In the
state to have his meat inspected.
"With a meat Inspector in this city
every person who buys meat will know
that It Is fit for food and that the ani
mal was not diseased and was killed
to get rid of it. I, as well as every man
on front street, would be willing to do
anything in our power to aid the in
spector in running down those who are
in the habit of sending disease-affected
meats to this city.
"At this age it Is no more than proper
that all meats should be thoroughly ex
amined and all that does not come up
to a certain standard should be sent to
the crematory and destroyed. Of course
there has not been so much ' diseased
meat come Into this city as most people
believe, but the amount, that did come
should not have entered the retail mar
kets. "The"duties of the' proposed Inspector
should be to visit ail the places where
meats aro kept on sale In the city. The
inspection should be done at such times
that the proprietors would not be ex
pecting a visit, and If a proper official is
selected Portland people need have no
fear that they are eating disease-tainted
flesh."
AN EXCELLENT CANTATA.
The First Congregational Church was
well filled last night to hear the cantata.
'The Sea of Life," especially arranged
for Dr. House by an Eastern friend, to
bring In the old, familiar Gospel tunes.
A lighthouse was arranged on the plat
form. At its foot was a boat with a
boy Just ready to push out on the Sea of
Life. He was stopped by the Angel of
Mercy, who called in her sister angels
to better equip his boat for the Journey.
Faith and Good Works brought the oars.
Prayer the rudder, Hope the anchor and ,
Truth the compass. Dr. House read a
short parable of life's boat on th. See,
of Life at the close of the cantata. Tak
