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. ' Its half tones
showing the blooded livestock grown in
this Immediate vicinity would create sur
prise were the papers freely distributed
in many sections or the JSast, where a
specialty has long been made of pro
ducing high-grade stock, -The well-
written , reading matter- is' convincing
proof that Oregon is highly favored from
an agricultural point of view.
- The reception given last , evening In
the Commercial club's rooms . in the
Chamber of Commerce by the Commer
cial dub as a pare of the program for
the entertainment of the city's guests,
In attendance on the several conventions,
was' unqualifiedly the most enjoyed and
successful of any function of ajSimilar
nature; ever- given : In .this city; ; The
guests were royally! entertained and de
parted, feeling' that! the West's world
wide reputation for hospitality and good
cheer had been, gloriously - sustained, a
Governor Chamberlain with f Mayor
Williams and E .W. Cake, president of
ttie-dubrthom in a--great-measure
is due th success 'and pleasure of' the
evening, received the guests as they en
tered the parlors. The cordial hospital
ity with which the visitors were re
ceived made them' feel thoroughly at
home. ,; As they , strolled ' through the
spacious clubrooms they met old friends
and found new ones. On every., hand
could be heard funny stories and witty
sayings. . i" ' :' ' V" ;
- Deooratlons Were Beautiful., ,
T'.The rooms were beautifully decorated
with palma and flowers, and everywhere
appeared the national color artistically
draped, lending In the glow of myriads
of electric lights a brilliancy of color
to 'the "rooms. ', 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

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.

Chancellor Benjamin E. Andrews . of
th University of , Nebraska la on of
th speakers at the live stock conven
tion. 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. ., .

HILLSBORO'S TAXES
. BOOSTED THIS YEAR
(Joarntl Special Service.) .
Hlllsboro, Or., Jan, IS. Lata yester
day afternoon the county court finished
the business of the January term. .' The
last Item was levying the tax to be col
lected on ' the 190S assessment The
rate , compared with th rat for last
year' follows; s

Total Cv;t. .. . . .V.. .. . ..28.0 27.0
The taxes will be higher , than last
year, the assessment being a fourth
greater, and the levy 1 mill greater,!
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. The
next highest Is No. 67, Beaverton, which
levies a 12-mlll tax.
