Pevers of the irrl gat Ion aasoclatlon said this morning . that the convention Junt cloned at l'en- dleton had done much to unite senti wient as to the best course for irrlga : ' tlon men to purauo In securing their desires. The entire tnte situation wi r discussed from every aspect and though i no definite notion wi resoivea on. o ' In to peculiar state conditions, mat t.ra were no shaped that when oppor , . tunlty does rome the Irrigation workers ". will understand Just what to do. . Th hlf thlnir limuaht out In the convention, according to Mr. Ievers, waa the general feelina that the Federal Uwa on Irrlaatlon were at -variance with the state laws, and that no projecta ', could bo Inaugurated until the state .' lawa were consistent and plainly In lino ' "with Federal action. Two of the commission appointed by " 1 the governor were present and llstenea v' to the atatementa maae oy Irrigation '.men of the mate. Thia commission will . report to th next leglalature what 'change ahould be made la eiate Irriga tion lawa. T. J. Halley of Pendleton and C W. Mallett of Ontario were the member of the commission preaent ' One of the pleaaanteat features of the convention was the reception given the governor and the delegate by the wo- ' men of Pendleton. Prealdent Pavers " said that he expressed me sentiment ' rf the entire convention when be called the receutlon ono of the most satU' . factory ever attended, and one that greatly aided , the success of the entire meeting. The next convention will be held at Ontario, Or. -The date will be set later by the executive committee. i The convention recommended that the . desert land act, the timber and atone ' acta and the commutation of the home stead entry act be repealed, and will forward such a recommendation to the atate representatives In congress. TWO HOLD UP ; FOURTEEN HEN Senator Hansbrough, chairman of the committee of publlo lands. Introduced a bill which la Intended to repeal the tim ber and atone act and to cur defecta ir the existing law. . . Under the law aa It now stands, land In ncq utrod at 12.50 per acre regardless of Its value. If the new bill is passed all timber land on the publlo domain will be withdrawn from entry and the government will dispose of the timber at Its market value, reserving the land. One provision of the bill prohibits the entry of these lands under the home stead or old land laws. The lieu land section la amended Ir the second section of the bill ,so aa to provide that when a settler whose entry falls 'within a forest reserve and selects another piece of lend In lieu of the original entry, It must be more valuable for agricultural purposes than for tim ber or stone. Under the present law en trymen who find themselves within a foreet reserve proceed to cut all the timber and then rile a homestead ou an other timber reserve. Ooes Still rartber. - The proposed bill goes further and provides that the act of March 11, 1(01, be amended so that all proofs of com muted homestead and desert land entries must be made before registers and re ceivers In local land offices.

Most of the Italian laborers In the place are employes of the City t Suburban railway and were. paid off ; . Tuesday. All of the loungers had more or leas money on- their persons and the highwaymen would have secured several hundred dollars had they searched the pockets of the party. The safe, which is situated in the front office, also con . ' talned a considerable sum, but the rob bers made no attempt to tamper with it. Nicholas 'Casclato says that he at , first thought the affair waa a, joke, but when he saw that business was meant he '. told the "boys" that their hands had 'better go up.' He, had about 1126 In his jj pockets, which- waa. hot touched. Cas- ciaio says mat ne ooea not care lor me Ions of the money from the register, but . he la glad that no one was Killed or In . jured. But had he been compelled tq i.upen in. aai3. lie .ajrv, ue wuuiu uavc . attempted to capture the bandit, He be kIleves that the robber were afraid of being captured bad they delayed. It is . the general opinion among the witnesses of the holdup that a third man stood v guard on the outside although none saw him. It Is also thought that the hold . ups knew It was an opportune time for the crime. ... The only American In the crowd was J. McKew, who Uvea at Fifth and Sher idan streets. He was sitting at one of - the tables interested in the card game. He gives a clear account of the affair. ' "The first I knew I heard the com mand of "hands up." I thought it was t a Josh put up by tome of the proprie tor's Italian friends. But I soon saw that they meant business and my hands went Into the air aa did those of the others. We stood still while the slim fellow, who took a crouching position, held the gun on us. The heavy set man also crouched over as fie stood behind the bar and nervously glanced Into the mirror to see toat no one made a move , towards him. They made us all get up r and noia our hands up before he went to. the reglater. No one In the crowd had a revolver ,and we could make no resistance. These present In the saloon besides the two proprietors and McKew were: Candldo Diyulils, Kvangellst Dlyullls, Oluseppa Rag-none, Camlllo Tarantinl, Domenlco Tarantinl, Florintl Salvalore, , Vlncenxo Dellacroce, Giovanno Dantonlo, Bruno Santoro and two other men un known. This Is the first saloon holdup in Portland In month and to all ap pearances was the work of a new gang i of crooks. It is possible that there are the men who terrorised San Francisco, several weeks ago. Angered that one of their number should be confined In the dungeon, IS county prisoners went on s.rlkc this morning and refused to ociVMrpnny th guards to the rockplle. As so?n as the men had announced their ultimatum they also were ordered Into the dark cell, where they will be conlnod until they signify their wIlliT.gnes to return to work. Thomas Stevens, Jr., Is the cnuse of the mutiny among the men, according to the statements of the ruorls. He was Insubordinate, they declare, nnd waa ordered to the dungeon for five days. But Stevens occupied a warm place In the hearts of his fellow-prisoners, who decided to strike until he waa released. A similar strike was Inaugurated by the prisoners several days ago, when the notorious "Chick" Houghton was put In t. a .4 1 a.

The officer will take a determined stand thla time, and declare .that Stevens must stay In the dungeoa five days. The men. however, will be given an oppor tunity to go on the rockplle tomorrow morning. Stevens, who Is little more than a boy, has enjoyed an exciting life since he was committed by the police court a few daya ago on a petty charge. November 1 he waa being taken to- the rockplle for the first time, when he made his escape aa the guards were loading the prrsonere Into the special car. Two days later he waa arrested while! drinking soda-water In a confectionery stand, and November 4 waa again started for the rockplle. Instead of working with the other men, ha became unruly and waa made to carry a ball affd chain. This ne nattered to pieces with his sledge and then threw stones at the guards. , v Monday night It waa decided td place him In the dungeon. The men at once demanded his release and today refused to work until It was forthcoming. when he said: gained by the act have been greatly abused, particularly by United States commissioners, who' have often been parties to wholesale frauds In connection with proofs made before them." TJrred Xernuvan's Appointment. Senators Mitchell and Fulton last night called upon Speaker Cannon and urged the appointment of Representa tive Hermann to a place on the rivers and harbors committee, and Williamson to a place on the Irrigation committee. Speaker Cannon said the requests would be given due consideration. He will not take up the work of committee assign ments until later In the session. Senator Mitchell Is arranging to give banquet during the preaent month to the aenators and representatives In con gress from the Pacific Const and the Pa cific Northwest. The primary object of the banquet will be the discussion of the Lewis and Clark exposition and other measures of benefit to all coast states.

Tho letter is dated Port Elisabeth, South Africa, the veasel arriving there on Oc tober 12, after a passage of 105 daya from Portland. Among other things, the captain states that one of his crew committed suicide by jumping overboard when the ahlp had een to -sea only about two weeks.

The cry goes forth that thers appears to have been a lack of disci pllne, which will cause heavy expenses to tne owners and underwriters. . The whole thing reminds one of an old fable of a man. bis son and an ass. Tha first person reprimands the father for riding while his young son has to walk. A second reprimands the son for riding wnue his old father has to walk, and third suggests the man Is better able to carry the ass. Hence, out fabled man concludes, as he Is not able to please all ths world, he will please him self.

Watson of Ashland wrote to the governor, commending his sctlon In issuing his circular letter to tho mem bers and expressing the hope that no legislation , would be attempted except that required to provide revenue for next year. J. N. Teal of Portland urges the special session. He calls attention to the deplorable condition in which Port land and Multnomah county would find themselves If revenue were not pro vided promptly. The Portland Taxpayers' league also urges action, sending resolutions. adopted by unanimous vote of the league, urging the calling of the special session. State Senator Squire Farrar of Marion county is the first one address ing the governor Who expresses himself aa being opposed to the special session. Mr. Farrar says that he is ready to support any meritorious legislation that may be presented at a special session. Several bills, passed by the legisla ture, were placed in the hands of the governor during the last few days of the session and vetoed within five days after the close of the session. These bills with the vetoes will be nresented to the legislature at the special session, If one is called, for action. The con stitution, article S, section 16, provides that the secretary of state "shall lay the same (vetoed bills) before the legis lative assembly at its next session in like manner as if It had been returned by the governor." Regarding- special elections to fill vacancies It Is being urged that such move Is unnecessary, as there are but few vacancies, and it has . been sug gested that the governor correspond with the county Judges and chairmen of the county central committees, ask ing them whether or not they prefer special elections to being unrepresented at the special session, If one is called.
