The Most Important Issue. -'Tint the most important Isbub' for which we will contend is the complete abolition of the sick benefits. I do not lie list a to declare, as did Grand Chair- cellor Maloney. tjiat the sick benefits are a prolific cause of trouble. -Probably 10 rer cent of the members get 90 per cent of the benefits. The thing creates an : abuse and complete abolition' will elim inate much that now causes dissension 'and bad feeing. Already the lodges' In Mime places have begun the movement ? by lowering the sick benefit materially." Supreme Chief Telegraphs. " .Grand .Chancellor J. W. Maloney has received an appeal" for aid of .the Ore gon lodge to the Rathbone Sisters" in the' form of a telegram from Belle Qnlnian, -supreme chief. whose resiaenrar "Is 'In Ualesfeurg, lit She telegraphed:- - "Greetings to the grand lodge. " We will efpro!ate having the grand lodge Instruct the supreme representatives tit Bathbone Bisters' Ask Knights to Becog nlse Their Order. The absorbing topic smong the Rath- hone Sisters Is their status with ref erence to Pythlanlsm. At this time Lhev pre actually not officially affiliated in any official relation with the Knights of Pythias. They are Independent, and they want 4o Induce the knights to rec ognize them. Throughtout the sub ordinate, grand and supreme temples the appeal Is heard, and the women of the order will kfeep at it until they have convinced the knights that It is to the good, of all concerned that they be given legislation that will bind them to the parent order. When they heara that the supreme representatives, from" the' Oregon grand lodge would support their plea there was deep satisfaction. They have the consensus of the Oregon knfghts In their favor and hope soon to bring he su preme lodge of Pythlans to ael It as the Oregon knighta see it. Hew Ifraad Chancellor ravors It.

The fact' that below Heppner scarcely a person was drowned shows how useful was the service rendered by Mr. Kelley and Mr. Matlock. The horse ridden by neiiey also gained some fame. The diH tance is 18 miles. It was ridden in an hour. Kelley took no relay, although the horse upon which Matlock rode gave out ana ne had to change.

Impressed by flie old Greek myth of now r-ytnias, because of his great love for Damou, offered himself as hostage while the condemned man wah allowed to go and bid his wife and child fare well, Justus Henry Rathbone. a Michi gan pedagogue, first conceived the Idea of .founding a secret order to commemo rate the name of the ancient hero. After months of toll alone in his room - and durtng-lnlBure ; moments' In tfie"schooi room Rathbone wrought out the ritual of the pow famous Knights of Pythias and the society had its birth among half a dozen commissary clerks at Washing ton, IX C, on the evening of 'February 16, 1864. It was In the little town of Eagle Harbor in the great copper region of Michigan where Rathbone followed the humble occupation of instructing, the young that he worked out. the beautiful ritual of the Knights of Pythias. The only person who knew of the concep-! tlon of the school teacjier was his old time college chum andhis roommate at Eagle Harbor. Thomas Shapley. however, considered Ms friend's, scheme a" little top visionary and gave the pedagogue IRtle encouragement In spite of his friend's coolness toward his Idea' Rath bone continued In his work and while it-was several years later, at almost the close of the Civil war that the oppor tunity of organization ame. he did not despair and carefully guarded his, secret documents. J ' Rathbone left Eagle Harbor" Sti 181 owing- to the death of his father. Soon deneral Aitkin Urges Uniform Bank to Observe Boles Closely- Brlgadlcr-Oaneral J. H. Aitkin of the Oregon brigade uniform rank, today urged his knights to keep In mind the necessity of improving the military dis cipline throughout the rank. He called attention to what he regarded aa a fall ure recently to follow the Instructions that had been Issued governing drills, and expressed the hope that hereafter the knights would manifest a more rigid adherenco to the exactitudes of organ lzatlons that are presumed to exemplify a military spirit. However, surveying the year. In hli annual report and address, General Alt kin felicitated the uniform rank In Ore gon on Its higher attainments and deep er Interest In what la recognized aa a vital branch of Pythlanlsm. "I note with pleasure," said he. "the more liberal recognition given to rank by the grand lodge from year to year. I believe the Pythlans wfio are not of the uniform rank take more pride this year than before, and have heard with deep satisfaction the expressions given yesterday after we had marched in the annual parade." General Aitkin has conceived the plan of taking one or more companies from Oregon to the supreme encampment in St. Louis in August. He hopes to suc ceed, and has assurances of co-operation by many members who can aid substan tially In carrying through the project. The Oregon brigade, which met this forenoon at 10 o'clock, had mostly rou tine business to transact. No absorbing Issues held the attention of the knights there as In the grand lodge. The brigadier-general was elected last year and holds for four years. The staff of General Aitkin remains unchanged, and Is as follows: Colonel If. A. Meade, chlef-of -staff Colonel J. H. Olscn, assistant Inspector general: Colonel J. H. Panting, signal officer; Colonel F. 8. Bubb, quartermas ter; Major David Leppert chaplain; Colonel R. W. Frame, assistant adju tant-general; Colonel Kane, brigade mus ter officer. Regimental commanders sre elected by the regiments.

There rc nine expert riflemen In the department of the Columbia, out of the hundreds of infantrymen in the various posts in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. One of these Is quartered at Vancouver, one at an Alaskan post and the other seven are residing st Ft Lawton. When it Is considered that to resch tne grade of expert riflemen, the high est place a marksman can reach in the service, an almost perfect- reoord 'is necessary, and when it is known that many who win department medals fail to make this class, and when In addl- Itlon it is known that here is only one company of men at Ft. Lawton and that there are hundreds of seasoned troops in Alaska, the proportion seems to the civilian mind wonderful. But the officers here, that have to do with the range records and who know the Ins and outs of the service, arc not at all surprised. When asked to ex plain they smile sadly at the ques tioner's ignorance Snd say nothing. They may take down a musty range report dated, Vancouver, 1888. snd point out that over hal of the men in the garrison hat year qualified as ehrp shooters Snd remark that the impose! ble may easily happen under certain circumstances. The fact that Ft Lawton is a ono company station and that the ..officers of the company supervise the records and attend to the marking" of their own men. Is regarded as the underlying fact that makes the records possible. At this post, and elsewhere, the records of one compsny are kept by a rival, organisa tion and , the marksman gets! no more than he njakes and he does well to get even justice, 'out in 'the woods with a friendly lieutenant as scorer, -a proud captain aa range officer, and a happy first sergeant to give Instructions to the markers, better shooting may be done than under the eagle eye of a colonel and with the Jealous scrutlnv of rival companies to "bother" the rifle man.

May Believe Packed Boom. At the meeting of the school board tomorrow night some measure may be taken to relieve the 'condition of one Columbian room that is now congested almost Insufferably. There are more than 70 pupils In the seventh grade at that building, and the teacher in charge has children stacked about the deck and piled in the corners of the room, to secure a place for them all. Forty students is considered enough for . any teacher, and when the number is doubled teachers say neither order "nor progress can be attained. It is feared that little can be done to remedy thle room's lot, nor that of others almost at congested, until, the new four-room building is completed, but some tempo rary measures in this particular in stance may be taken ' by the board.
