At a meeting of the advocates of elec tion reform yesterday, afternoon, in. the mining hall at the chamber of commerce, a permanent organization was formed. After a good deal of discussion It was decided to call It the , Direct . Primary Nomination League. t . . President A. L. Mill deflned the ob ject of - the body.and stated that the Issue was one which naturally followed the Australian ballot system, and that at this time it would-be wise to concen trate all their efforts on the one -matter, as It was only , a short time "when the bill would have to be filed,' Better re sults could be obtained by submitting to the people only one ' measure at a time.- - V. vi.-; ' . Secretary U'Ren, In reply to a Question as to whether the bill was in shape to be ' presented, stated that It had been compiled from the laws of other states, and had been considered and passed upon by Judges and ' lawyers, : and after amending and . changing was in shape, and pronounced as constitutional. Not only had those Interested in the cause worked on the bill but; attorneys had been paid to look over it. . To make absolutely sure that the bill was without flaw It was suggested that a committee of five attorneys be ap pointed to further examine the measure. President Mills appointed Attorneys ITRen, Green, Wood, ,wright and Lock wood for this work.. . The original by-law that every mem ber of the league had to pay $10 was changed. This plan . kept 1 many who were interested in the movement from taking a part In bringing it to the fore. It was-Anally decided that to become a member It was only obligatory to sign for 15,' and this sum could be earned by passing a petition for the league to se cure members. r -,.. The matter of choosing an exeoutlve committee was left in the hands of the president The meeting adjourned until the bill would be further : considered when a call will be sent out for another meeting. THREE SNEAK THIEF SUSPECTS ARRESTED Arrested on suspicion of being sneak thieves, James Galnor, Ed Hanson and M. Chetwood will have to defend themselves against charges of vagrancy in the police court. -U- ; , . .. - - The three men were arrested by: De tectives Kerrigan and Snow Sunday and yesterday Galnor . was Identified as the thief who was seen, carrying off an over coat from the Tremont hotel. For this offense Peter Nelson swore out a com plaint against Galnor, and he will also have to stand, trial for larceny. It Is possible that other complaints may also be sworn out against Chetwood and Han son. ,: '' .5 - . The detectives regarded It as significant that since1 they rounded up the three sus pects there has been no sneak work done. The prisoners are suspected of stealing a pair of trousers from a North Tblrd street second-hand store. The officers are investigating a suspicion, that the trio may. belong to the same gang of which Fred Love is the alleged leader. Love was identified last week as one of a. pair of highwaymen, but as the victim had no corroborative evidence the district - at torney would not Issue a Warrant, ; . . Chetwood . was arrested ; Christmas morning lor creaking a window in a Sixth-street store, cutting his hand se verely. The police suspected him of. be ing a night prowler at the time, but could not prove- that the window smashing was other than accidental. Chetwood was fined for drunkenness. RURAL SPIRIT'S ; . SPECIAL NUMBER The convention souvenir edition bf the North Pacific Rural Spirit is a credit to the city of Portland in which It Is pub lished. Typographically, it presents as neat an appearance as the printers', art is capable of producing.

', Hidden' by a bank of palms an orchestra discoursed' entranc ing music. The scene, was one that will live long in the memory of those pres ent. ' The corridor leading from the parlors to the banquet hall was lined on both sides with' palms which, together with the national colors. : made a very pretty scene,, but scarcely prepared one for the beauty beyond. - The Banquet HalL The visitors were ' daisied by the brightness of 'the scene as they entered the banqueting hall, for everywhere on walls, and celling: appeared strings of Incandescent lights, while the . tables were decorated - with trailing sprays , of Southern smllax, studded with varl-col-ored miniature electric lights. -' Here and there large bunches of red. white, and pink cranaclons . from which Shown clusters of tiny colored lights, madeUhe scene one of beauty dlffloult co describe. - The menu showed the handiwork of a skillful chef, and added to the enjoy ment of the occasion. . - The commercial and business inter ests of the city did not alone extend its hospitality, but representative Portland society was present to do honor to and extend a hearty welcome to th guests.

' .John . Bengen,' president of the Port land Gralnhandlers' union, has. been ap pointed to a position as guard at the state penitentiary,-and left for Salem yesterday to enter upon his new duties. About six months ago Frank Curtis, at that time president of the Grain handlers' union, accepted a similar posi tion at the penitentiary. Now Mr. Curtis Is-first warden of the institution and is spoken of as being) one of the best of fleers It ever had. The gralnhandlers say they - have plenty- of other good material In their organization to All state offices with from warden to the governorship. While they are not seeking political honors, the members explain that they do not intend to overlook, anything that cornea their way. - -- Another president of the union- has been elected to till th vacancy, .' and some say that it, will not be long until he will also have hi name-on th pay roll of th state employes. , Th new president is J. Blue. , ', Owing to but very few deep-sea ves sels In port gralnhandlers have been complaining for sometime that times are dull-with them, and assign this as one of their reasons for their breaking Into the arena which Is popularly supposed to belong exclusively to professional men and politicians. - Were there more ships here - and with the grain crops moving . freely they declare that they would not think of such a thing as changing their occupation. Men belonging to other labor -unions say there is nothing, like being a grain handler, , They begin to regard it as the first step to greater things. s.

Mr. Andrew has for years been known as on of th leading educators of the country. Hi wide diversity of practical Information and economlo re search have : mad ' him authority on many ' subjects . not ' usually considered by the college president Chancellor Andrews was enthusiast lo , over .the West He said: - . , Western Growth Marralooa. '" ' ha SUUa-of -Washington-and -Ore gon constitute a great domain and one whose future It Is hard to foretell be cause of Us great possibilities, I have not been in th ; Northwest ' for nine months, and on every visit I am amased at the growth mad during the tlm I. hav been away." ' ' . ; ' The chancellor - la . also nthusiastlQ regarding the athletic and scholastic ability of bis wards, th student of the Nebraska university. r '-: , "We have, an enrollment of 2,700, stu dents this year," he said, "and are hav ing the most satisfactory year sine I hav been at th head of the university. We ax preparing for the annual debat ing contest and hop we.wlll be as suc cessful as ' we have been In athletics for th past three years, and In debat ing, for more than that period. Bach year our -work in debating grows harder for. we, Ilk Napoleon, teach our oppo nents our methods. We were the first in our field to leave . the ; sophomorlc style of oratory, ami to show that de bating for us meant a thorough study of th ; subject , Last year Governor Savage of 'Nebraska told me that any, of f the debates given by vour winning team would have been a credit to any member of . congress, and from what I know I think the governor was right Each year it Is becoming harder to win success, for our " neighboring college and. universities have adopted our tac tics and are also thoroughly working out their subjects." Znvinclbl rootball Team. . ' For several years the Nebraska teams, three In number, have won every debate they entered, their Itinerary of contest including all the state universities or surrounding states. - In football the uni versity team has passed through two seasons without a defeat and the past season met Illinois, Iowa and other sup posedly strong teams. . The year before the Nebraska team defeated Minnesota, one of the strongest teams of th Mid dle West, and sine that time not a de feat has been scored in their game book and there . has been only, on gam in which the opposing team made a touch down. Bryan's European Trip. 'If th Democrats nominate Cleve land there will be a ,blg split in the Democratic party of our state,'! said Mr. Andrews. , "There Is a strong faction In the state ; that will always support him, and contrary to expectation, Mr. Bryan' European tour has strengthened him very materially." Th Old Oregon Trail, When asked about the feeling in the Middle West concerning the Lewis and Clark fair, Mr. Andrews said: , "The old Oregon trail lay through our country, and there 1 a deep Interest 1 the exp"-'Uon among our people and students. We have for chief Instructor in history, Mr. : Caldwell, a native Ne braskan, an advantage few state 'Uni versities can boast of, and consequently all the old tradition and incidents of pioneer days have been carefully kept for the benefit of th coming genera tions. Mr. Caldwell la arousing great Interest in 1 the fair and all it com memorates, and w all earnestly hope for its success." - . During the evening several of the former students of the "U. of N." paid their respects to their chancellor, and oven though each year brings hundreds and even thousands of new faces to th chancellor's-, mind, his memory proved equal to tho task, and, no one who ever called the Nebraska school "mater" dur ing the time ' Mr. Andrews has been at its head has failed to be recognized, in a way that showed "the old man," as th under-grads. term him, was Interested deeply - in th success of his former charges. ., .

The great raise is in state taxes Last year the state .levied against the county $22,876.. This year the sum is 136,872, a raise of 214.000. Another item that Is higher is tax for schools. This year there will be raised for schools 34;386, a larger sura than that required for maintaining the county government which has set aside for Its administra tion $21,763. Th levy for roads seems higher than last year,, but - under . the new road law but one-half of th road fund is given to the supervisors for dis bursement The other half is disbursed by the county court for bridges and lumber. This, under the old law, came out of the general fund.' 80, comparing with former assessments with this un derstanding, the road fund levy is only 3, mills, while the county general fund is 8 mills, but there Is, a saving there, since last year the levy , was 11.4 mills. The court finds that the county will not need as much money as last year, since there are now no outstanding endorsed warrants whereas then these 'warrants were about three months in arrears. The court was heartily congratulated by heavy taxpayers that It was found posr sible to keep the levy as low as it has been. ; !'''' :-:-" ""--- , To .date 16 school districts out of 100 have reported that a special school tax has been levied. Th district assuming th heaviest burden is No. 86, Joint in the southeast part of the county, which has levied a 24-mill special tax.
