Great pair, great pair! They are worth big money, and yet they are a pair of nuisances most specially the Rube.

At last week's meeting a resolution was adopted appointing a committee to make a report , on the .proposition and It is understood that Mr Herdman is ready to make a favorable report. Mr. Boyer and Mr. Bernard, who did so much last year to make the "Wlsard of the Nile" a success, are willing to lend their as sistance again in a similar manner. '. .While . no football report has-been made 'yet. ' it is understood -that the Multnomah club football team cleared about $1,300 last season. . The success of the team, financially and-on the gridiron, waa... due mostly to the . splendid , and tireless efforts put forth by the man ager and : captain, . George McMillan. Last year waa the most successful in the history of football at the club, and it was the most expensive. New outfits for the men had to be bought and the California trip cost considerable sum. The members of the club are proud of the eleven's achievements- last season and commend each man for the part he took In the work.-' The tryouts for the track team will be held a trifle earlier this year than heretofore. : 1 This wilt give the men sufficient' chance to get in good condi tion before they enter the contests. - E.

After; one week's fight against the cribs, : the min isters feel well satisfied with the prog ress made,; and. they' start , in .'today , on the sefcond week's contest with 'the' dive element , with the.'' opinion that ' befofe the week la out they 'will have ' driven the crib women from" the city... They suc ceeded last week in .convicting R, .T. Daniel, Tony Barone and Eugene Attken, and each of the meti were fined 350 and costs. . They each - have appealed. 1 In one case,- that 'against .Frank .Bruno, they, dismissed -the case), as Bruno bad torn the crib rooms out of his building. The case of J.'D. Flnley will.' come up this week.i and Flnley claims that 'he sold-the property months ago., ( His caae will be bitterly fought and. the In dications at this time are that . the preachers will lose thla tsaso. 4 In - the cases against "Dutch Jake' and Harry Baer, the preachers were fooled by ;one on meir important : witnesses, ana: mey, were , compelled to. dismiss the cases against them Saturday. ' An additional warrant was sworn out ; Friday : by the preachers , fpr, Marcelle.t who renta about 26 of the rooms to other women. ' She was promptly arreated ahd placed lh jail. She -has thrown tip ber hands 'and given .up. the fight and ordered all her tenants out by tonight., r - The women are leaving , for British Columbia' points. ' It is stated by the police that the Marcelle woman was the largest sub-lessee In .the district, and that she paya 31,090 a month , rent for 29 little cribs.' Until a month ago the rent was even higher. , The notice to vacate is believed to be the- beginning of the, end of the alley district, and similar action is expected on the part of the other leasees and landlords. ; k When tha case of Goetz and Baer was called it was decided that the two should be tried Jointly, as the same witnesses were to appear in both cases.' The at torney for the prosecution stated, that owing to . the inability of tha poljee to find a certain woman, by name Theo Raval, that the city would llki to have the case continued.' It was hinted that the woman-was spirited away during the night and could not be found by tha police. A'motlon of dismissal was made by the prosecution and this was ob jected to Unless the dismissal made tha suit a bar to all further prosecutions. Judge Hinkle stated that as far. as the bar against future prosecution was con cerned that could be tested when the matter properly came up. , , , , ; . Will Discontinue. , It was reported that Euaene Altken. one of the property owners " who was fined $80 and costs, would follow - the example of the Marcelle woman' ahd dis continue the business.' This statement Is denied by Altken, who says that he will remain in the business and will fight aa far as necessary.' Dr. George R. Wallace, of the Westminster Congre gational church, makes the statement that he has the support of a millionaire who is willing to back the ministerial association financially In 'their present moral crusade against the dives of Spo kane. ". , , , . ' ,. - Announcement is made that- at' the close of the present trials the ministers' committee will again- swear out war rants for R. T. Daniel, Eugene Altken, Goecs A Baer, Antone Barone 'and the other vice landlords and lessees of the buildings used for Immoral purposes, The crusade Is now under full headway and with the sweeping victories al ready secured by the ministers the com mittee is greatly encouraged. in the be- lief that It will he able to accomplish Its purpose. It is the belief that once the landlords see that , the prosecutions are going to be continuous they will all give way to the purposes of the com mittee. Said a committeeman today: 'Tf neces sary wa shall cause warrants to be served out day after day, and until the dives are removed from their present location. Our determination to blot out the present district is unshaken and we will continue to the end." - - j, .... "We" don't mind the appeals,".- says Rev. Lambert. "That' la only half a bluff, and we can easily continue prose, cutlons, notwithstanding repeated - an peala. As I understand it now, wa' can Mring about 20 more cases immediately, but. as you know,, tbe present cases de mand our immediate attention. , It waa reported that a minister of Moscow was one of tha owners of the cribs. This turns out to be Ransom Smith, who owns the building at the corner of Icon and Mill In the burnt district He is known In Moscow as Rev. Smith. It appears that he Is not a preacher, but Is a member of the Bap tist church In Moscow, and is at pres ent a money loaner and note shaver. In an Interview In Moscow he admitted owning the building and says that he re fused $28,000 for it last summer. His agents here state that it brings him In about $250 a month rental.
