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

form of a telegram from Belle Qnlnian,

The absorbing topic smong the Rath-

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 fact' that below Heppner scarcely

was the service rendered by Mr. Kelley
and Mr. Matlock. The horse ridden by

THE STOBY OP TBB FYTKIAXfS.
How the Order Was rounded by Justus
Henry Bathbone.
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.

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.

by the regiments.

GRESHAM IS STILL
ON IMPROVEMENT
(Journal Special Service.)
Gresham, Oct 14. The burnt district
of this place will soon be reclaimed by
fine structures, which will add greatly
to the general appearance to the vil
lage.. The latest Improvement is to be
a harness store to be erected on the
south side of Powell street between the
Implement store of Hamilton & Co. and
the grocery and meat market ofiJlowltt
;o. .
The new structure will join' with the
Hamilton company building and will be
two stories above and arranged for a
basement below the sidewalk of the
bridge crossirig the small stream be
tween the postofflce and barber shop.
Work Is to be pushed with all possi
ble speed, and it Is stated that a full
line of harness, leather goods, etc., will
be carried by Mr. Regner. He at pres
ent has a harness and shoe repairing
shop on Cleveland avenue, which he will
vacate for the purpose of engaging, In a
more complete line.
To Build Sidewalk.
A movement has been started for the
sole purpose of building a good sidewalk
on Cleveland avenue south from Powell
street to the O. W. P. depot. A peti
tion Is being circulated and nearly
enough available funds are raised for
the purpose.
It Is also urged that some Improve
merit be made on the new grade south
of the avenue, which was oriened several
months ago. At present the clayey con
dltlon of it makes walking very dig
greeable after a rain such as was wit
nessed several days ago.

Vancouver, Wash.. Oct. 14. 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. " ' '''' 1 , " " -
Be far ss is known, the Ft Lawton
company has before made no unusual
record and pntll -the - edict went forth
that-expert riflemen received $1 addi
tional pay each month thers was; no
Indication that the atmosphere of that
post had any marked effect on the ability
of the man behind the Krag.
General prltlolsss Court.
Private Caleb L. Vaftce, company I,
Eighth Infantry, has been -found guilty
by a Camp Skagwsy court-martial of
giving liquor to Indians, and has been
sentenced to hard labor for one month.
In passing on this case Gen. Funston
says: "In the foregoing case tne court
should have sustained the challenge of
the accused to one of the members on
the grounds , that he 'preferred tho
charges and was a material witness in
the case.' Courts should Incline to lib

cause of challenge."
