Employment agencies that send out men to camps, charging fees for fur nishing Jobs, hospital fees at the camp, large board bills and all such items will be thoroughly investigated by the license committee of the city council, and It is possible that some may lose their licenses. The agency conducted by Mrs. Ida Zlnner was under Are yes terday before the committee, complaint having been made by J. L. Wheeler and Fred Pickens that they had been mulcted by being sent out to the camp of Zlnner brothers, woodcutters, at An telope, a station just beyond Cottage Grove. Wheeler and Pickens were arrested on charges of vagrancy, and were tried in the municipal court yesterday morning. They told Judge Hogue of the alleged mistreatment by the employment agency, and an investigation was begua The men said they paid $1.50 as a fee for their Jobs to the'agency. their fare to the camp and return, $1 hospital fee and 14.60 per week for board. They said they were discharged and were given time checks not payable until April J. , After the men told their stories to the committee, R. E. Moody, attorney for the company, stated that everything was perfectly fair; that the men were treated all right and had nothing to complain about; that they were the first men who had ever complained, and that Zlnner Brothers discharged them be cause they were incompetent choppers. Councilman J. P. Sharkey led in the questioning of the employment agency operators, and Informed Mrs. Zlnner that any more such complaints regard ing her establishment would mean the forfeiture of her license.

He said: "There whould be no apportionment to the severul societies. -If this is made it may cause dissatisfaction. We must not stop with subscriptions here on the Pa cific coast. Our eastern brothers will gladly help us if we will only give them the. right to participate." RURAL SPIRIT IS PUSHING OREGON The current issue of the North Paciflo Rural Spirit Is devoted to Polk county and in well-written articles, profusely illustrated with half-tone photographs of scenes In that county, the many ad vantages of the section are set forth. Polk was the blue-ribbon county at the Oregon state fair, held In l03, and. Its resources are many and varied. Its lum bering, agricultural and hop-raising in terests are given prominence. A splen did reproduction of the county court house at Dallas appears on the title page, and engravings of Monmouth. In dependence, Dallas, and other promi nent places are published. , Yotir throat troubles yoi Plw'i Cure will top it aud cur It, At uruggUu, SETTLERS' ARE HELD SACRED Despite Decision in OverlapfCaseihe Northern Pacific Will Not Force the Issue Road Is Pledged to Act with Liberality The suit by the United States against the 'Northern Pacific' company, com jnoniy known as the "overlap case, Vsts brought by the United States at the instigation of the Interested settlers and the arguments In the case, both In the lower court and the court of appeals. were mads' by C E. 8.

Now, the fate which brought that barber case before me Is evidently inclined to round me up in the third class." The speaker was M. C. George, Judge of department 4 in the state circuit court. With an amused expression chas ing his habitual look of Judicial dignity out of sight, his honor sorted a dozen letters arriving on a late malWnto two : plies.

Judge George was sent a Sun clipping giving the trials of the ex aminers. President George E. Reedy had a narrow escape from execution at the hands of a novice a few days ago. An excerpt from the article, which caused Judge George to chuckle, fol lows: "A person of dusky hue appeared for examination. He answered several ques tions all right but thought one towel should do for about six people, and got a black mark.- There wasn't a subject in sight. Mr. Reedy sent out scouts to drag in subjects to be shaved They re turned with the sad news that no sub jects were to be found. They all say that they shaved on Sat RED ROCK'S CAPTAIN IN METRICAL ADIEU Early this morning the British ship Red Rock dropped down to St. Johns, where she will wait for a tugboat to escort her to sea. She has on' board 22,500 barrels of flour, which is valued at approximately $130,000. Her desti nation is Queenstown or Falmouth for orders. The Red Rock has been In port since August 25, arriving on that date from Newcastle, N. S. W., with a cargo of coal. When she came the owners re fused to accept the prevailing charter rates, which were down as low as 15s. After the vessel lay Idle for several months they finally secured a rate of 20s. During his long stay Captain Por ter became very much attached to Port land and penned the following poem en titled "Kind Friends, Adieu." Farewell, kind friends: I bid adieu v To Portland. Dr., and you; We sail for home and Nancy Lee Farewell, farewell, remember me. CLERK FIELDS ON i HEAVENLY LADDER i A few evenings ago Walter Schuette did What is termed in stage parlance a "coon stunt" during the progress of a political meeting at Mt. Tabor. At that time he told a good story at the ex pense of Frank Fields, the county clerk. Yesterday morning Schuette appeared at the courthouse and asked for a mar riage license. It was Issued and there upon Schuette found himself in an awk ward predicament he hadn't enough money with him to pay for It. In the afternoon he appeared again at the court house accompanied by his bride-to-be, a handsome blonde, and secured the li cense, held pending his obtaining the requisite fee. He and the future Mrs. Schuette were introduced to Fields, the CURFEW BELL RINGS ONE HOUR LATER Tonight the dreaded curfew bell will ring one hour later than it has been since, Mayor Williams resurrected the ordinance and placed it on the ef fective list This will be joyful news to all youngsters who delight, tq' be upon the streets after dark, for they may now ruu at will until 9 Instead of 8 oclock. HOMES general's office felt that It could not ratify the agreement, and the case pro ceeded to trial with the decision ad verse to the settlers, as Is now known, but Mr. Wood today received a 'letter from C. W. Bunn, general counsel for the Northern Pacific railroad, from which the following is an abstract: . "Northern Pacific, Hallway Company. Legal Department. St. Paul, Minn., February M, 1904. - . "Subject: Overlap Case. "My Dear Mr, Wood: I venture to ad dress you because you, are the attor ney of some of the settlers, and 'are in close touch. I doubt not, with all of them and with their representatives. I have seen the president of the company oh the subject today and can assure you he feels settlers should be treated with the greatest fairness and even with liberality. Those will be his lnstruc tlons to his subordinates. With this disposition on the part of the officers of the company, I have faith that the sit uation will work itself out without great Injustice to any one and trust that you will give your clients to understand that such Is the wish and disposition of this company. Tours truly, "C. W. BUNN. General Counsel." Mr. Bunn has consistently urged a fair and liberal treatment of the sot tiers and the present favorable outlook is undoubtedly due to his counsels. VARIOUS TRIALS urday night and aren't due for another until Wednesday." said the puller-la. President Reedy (who had been shaved five times already), climbed Into the chair. The applicant picked up a mug bear Ing the legend "Peace to Thee" in shin ing gold letters an painted a lathery- winter landscape on Mr. Reedy"s face. Part of the picture drizzled down the president's neck. Another part wan dered Into his eye and both his ears were filled by the last flourish of the brush. Mr. Reedy was, busy digging himself out while the applicant borrowed a razor from Professor Tony. Then he started to strop it. The blade struck the strop at right angles and made .a scratching sound. Professor Tony gasped, more In sorrow than in anger. J "Here," broke in Mr. Reedy, "don't you know how to strop a razor? That's no way. If you don't know better than that you're no barber." "Well, mebbe not," admitted the ar tist. "My wife Bhe does the shavln." Mr. Reedy left the chair hurriedly, thankful that he had. escaped. "Bring her then," he commanded. And the applicant returned In a little while with a very large woman, also dark as to color. "You his wife?" asked Reedy. "No," stammered the woman, Tm his friend; but I'm the barber." The woman seemed to. fear that the lack ' of a marriage certificate might injure her chance to get a barber's cer tificate, but Mr. Reedy told her that that didn't make any difference and that she'd get a diploma If she deserved one. She did. . Her partner took the chair, and the woman gave an exhibition of fancy and ornamental shaving that hasn't been ex celled by anything that the examiners have seen. She got the certificate and with her partner went away happy. "Well, musingly remarked Judge George, after he had read the article with unction, "maybe some of these barber examiners here who look on me as slated for the under world don't re alize what I have saved them from." But e'er we part for England's shore. There to rejqln loved ones once more We would express before we part The thankfulness within our heart The fates decreed.

"I had a dream the other night." ran the story Schuette told on Fields at the Mt. Tabor political meeting, "and thought Jacob's ladder was let down for mo to clumb up to heaven. I was in structed by an angel that I must work my way upward by chalking a brief memorandum of one error I had com mitted on, each round. While leaning over and chalking on the. 250th round, somebody bumped Into me from above. I looked up end there stood a- man. " "What's your name? I asked. " I'm Frank Fields,' he answered. '"Where are ydu going? I queried. " 'Back to earth," was the reply. " "What for?' " I've run out of chalk.'

"Business houses will get their mail the. same afternoon it comes In it the Union Paciflo train arrives promptly, in stead of' waiting until the next morn ing, as Is the- cane at present" said Postmaster F. A. Bancroft today. "Tho proposed change, as I understand it i8 that the , train will "leave Chicago one hour earlier and will make up two hours or more over the present schedule be tween there and Huntington., arid this will give us the afternoon mail at least three hours earlier than at present. If the train does not arrive on time, then the mail will have to He over until the following morning, the same as it does now. , ,; It will not make any change In the delivery in the residence district. The business bouses are the only ones that will be benefited. The carriers work eight hours a day, and if the mall is not hero on time they cannot wait for It for that would Increase the length of their day beyond the time limited by law. Those delivering in the business district begin work at 7 o'clock In the morning and quit at 4, and In the residence district the day begins at 8 o'clock and ends at 6; In either case there is, not enough time left In the afternoon for them to wait for the mall If It is late. The carriers serving the residence district have to leave the office before the time for the arrival of the mall, under the proposed schedule in order to make their afternoon rounds. "I have not received any official noti fication of the change, but a railway mail clerk told me this morning that an Oregon Railroad & Navigation com pany ottlelal had informed him that this change would be made. "It is customary to make a change of this nature every spring, but this year It is being made earlier than usual. "The Union Pacific and the O. R. & N. are the roads concerned.

INVADES THE HOME OF A YOUNG COUPLE Wealthy Toting icsa Seeks to Win the Wife of Another Buoceeds ana Bow the Trouble Xs . to Begin. (Journal Special Serrlce.) Walla Walla, Wash., March 1. One of the most sensational cases ever Insti tuted In the superior court of Walla Walla county' and one fraught with .the possible ruin of many prominent young people of this city will be tried at the next term of the superior court when Chris Sturm will endeavor to obtain damages amounting to 120,000 from Charles Meyers, whom he accuses of alienating the affections of his wife. The tale told in the proceedings which have commenced is another in stance of one of life's sad dramas. The principals in the cast are the pretty wife or Chris Sturm and Charles Meyers. well-known young society leader of this city. Sturm -accuses not only Meyers with seducing his wife, but implicates a large number of Meyers' friends, part of whom have been notified that they must appear as witnesses In the case when It is called. Meyers is now In Chicago, but has been informed of the action brought against him. His farm of 400 acres of rich wheat land southeast of Walla Walla has been attached and if he wishes to retain the land he must ap pear to answer to the charge which If proved against him will probably ruin his life and the happiness of Mr. and Mrs. Sturm, both of whom are young and have been married but a compara tively short time. -Meyers lives In Walla Walla with his aged mother and It is feared, the news of the possible disgrace of her son will prostrate her. Mrs. Sturm is a pretty brunette of about medium height She are her hus band have moved in the best social cir cles of the city and it was at one of the parties given here a year or two ago that she met Meyers. The complaint alleges that Meyers debauched Mrs. Sturm, broke up the home, and brought dlBgrace on Sturm and his home. Sturm is said to accuse his wife of using a young girt friend as a decoy, pretending- that Meyers was visiting the home on account of his at traction to her, and thus concealing from the husband the real nature of the relations between his wife and Meyers. No matter how the case now pending is decided, It is probable that a divorce will ensue. The word is prevalent here that Mrs. Sturm will enter proceedings to that end, but on what grounds is not apparent It Is said by those who claim to know that Sturm was doing all in his power to make his home a happy one. All Meyers' friends are as Well known here' as himself, and many startling de velopments are expected when the trial opens. VACCINATION DOES NOT ALWAYS SAVE The popular impression that vaccina tion always acts as a preventive of con tagion in smallpox is declared by Dud ley Evans, the county health officer, to be erroneous.

"Take the case of the little Albtna girl, whose mother, a "believer in faith healing, died," said Dr. Evans. "The girl was vaccinated, but the virus pro duced no effect;' in other words, it did not Hake. A few days ago she con tracted the disease. She is practically well now, as the form of the disease in her case was light. When she ex hibited signs of smallpox she was vac cinated again, .with the same result. The first thing done when a person con tracts smallpox is to resort to vaccina tion. If it takes' the vaccination and the disease run concurrently. The effect in such case Is always to produce a milder type of smallpox." RAFTING IS NOT A PLEASANT PASTIME Despite the high water and strong current two log rafts were towed above the bridges yesterday. One of them was taken by the Vulcan and the other by the Henderson. The work was neces sarily alow and difficult The rafts were for the Portland mill and the1 East Side Lumber company, which is located at Sell wood. Usually no attempt Is made to tow logs above the bridges at the present stage of the river, and the only reason it Is being done at this time Is because the mills are running short Of material As a consequence they have not been able to run to their full capacity. With a fair sized raft In tow it-takes a boat almost an hour to run from the steel bridge to the Madison street structure. They creep along at a snail's paee, and the greatest care has to be exercised In going through the draws., - Frequently when the current Is swift the rafts are crowded over against the piers, and then trouble results. The stone with which they come in contact cut the cables, and the logs are borne away on the stream at a lively . rate. Occasionally they break apart and the steamer and harbor boats 'have several hours' work picking them up. It often times happens that many of the logs are carried away on the current, so swiftly that they are never caught - ' During the low water season one steamer usually brings three rafts at one time from the big camps down, the river, but if a vessel can handle 'one now the owner is well satisfied It also fjL M W -"If aw I UTS T VT, 1 i "A Fight for Life."
