Tha meeting vaa, cuccesa- t ul in every ' respect, and tha old set tiers and veterans of Oregon Indian wars return to their homes with only ; the pleasantest memories of a happy re union. , : !' ; ' The oldest pioneer In attendance at the meeting,' it Is believed, was David , McCulIonsh of Salem. Ha la 12 yeara of age. The gueat next In point of age In F. X Matbieu of French Prairie, Ma rlon county, who is bale and hearty at the age of S7. : - Pioneer Charles Frusn, who had charge of the registering at the pioneers' head quarters in tha city hall, gained a new Insight Into tha feminine pioneer char acter. A sweet-faced old lady, who was . one of Oregon's. 18SS recruits, came up to lils desk to register and get a badge. 'Tm sorry, madam," said ha, "but the ' badges for 18(1 are all gone, ru Just give you one of 1811, and that will serve as well." ,.:'-''' ' . She looked at him a moment and with a slight blush replle "If you , please, I would prefer onalf 1114, If ' you have one." "... - It took Mr. Frush nearly a minute to grasp tha situation, but ha finally did, and made haste to pin tha 1884 symbol on her cape. : . . '; V' Tha oldest pioneer In the state, Hr. Zlnah Wood, of filllsboro, did not at tend tha meeting, i She has reached the Mora thaa $11,000 la duty was col lected at tha custom house oa the con signment of grain sacks ' and burlap brought from , tha orient on the steam ship Arabia, which arrived la, port few daya ago. In the shipment there are 1,800 bales, an amount sufficient to make 1.000,000 grain sacks having a ca naclty of two bushels to tha sack, - As they usually run 1(0 pounds ta the sack tha bags will hold 7.800,000 bushels of wheat- v ' t ' The firm of Ames Harris paid 111,' 000 la duly alone, . whUa several other dealers paid the balanoa of 111,000. The shipment la tha heaviest of tha season In this Una of goods, and from now on during the cereal year there will prob ably be but fewmora sacks or material out of which they are made to arrive. With tha number of bags held over by the various dealers from last year, it is estimated that the amount wUl be ample to contain tha new crop of the PaoWo northwest. ' - ' " Calculating that the sacks brought on tha Arabia will hold 7,500,000 bushels of wheat, and tha estimate Is said to be a conservative one, (some Idea of tha im mensity of the shipment can be gleaned from the fact that If they were filled with grain it .would require fleet of 00 sailing ships of the ordinary carrying capacity to transport . them t to the markets of the world. It would also be necessary to secure 1.150 freight cars to bring them from tha grain fields of the inland empire. Strung out la a contin uous straight line tha cars would cover a distance of almost 10 miles, while th ships would form an almost solid pro cession extending from Portland to tha mouth of tha Willamette river. . . But all theae bags will not be used for sacking grain that is to be exported. A big portion of them will be used by do mett la millers, ai will be sent In the coastwise trade. Soma estimate that almost half of them will be used for PAIR OF SHOES DIVIDES COMRADES Tha lingular ease bf 1l X White against J. Dalrympla, In which an old pair ox anoea valued in the record at 14.50, and probably worth much less, waa tha moving cause, has been . dis missed at plaintiff a cost, -and tha tie that formed tha friendship of theaa two men,-as well as tha tie that connected Mr,, White with his job at tha Terminal roundhouse, has been severed all this solely on moUoa of Mr. White. Dalrympla and White were fellow employee at tha Terminal roundhouee. both good. workmen and good friends. Without warning ona day White went to tha municipal court and lodged a charge against Palrymple, alleging ha had stolen an old pair of ahoea from the complainant. Dalrymple, a man of fam ily and good reputation, retained Attor ney Otto J. Kraeraer and furnished a bond of 160. When the case came up for trial tha district attorney, at the re quest of tha prosecuting witness, asked tha court to dismiss tha case.

The Indrarelll and tha British steamship CymbeUna brought a ahlpment, arriving hero tha same day, on which a duty of IllS.OOO waa collected. The Cymbellne came direct from Calcutta, at wnicn por nearly all the burlap of the east la manufactured. At that time, howeyer. there were vary few aacka left oyer from the preceding season, the supply having been nearly all cleaned up. This year the situation is entirely ' different In addition to the supply 'till on hand from last rear there ha ve"ei . small shipments . made during the past few months on nearly every steamer that sailed from tha orient for the Pacific coast.' " ' ;. To all points on the Paclflo coast tha Importation ' of grain sacks during the year amounts to 11,100,000. ." With the number held . over from last year It la estimated that there are in the neigh borhood of 46,000.000 aacka In the states of California. Oregon, Washington and Idaho. . The local exporters are predict ing that these states will produce 00, 000.000 bushels of wheat this year, and it wUl require 10.000,000 bags to taadls the crop. ' If these predictions prove true the amount will be more than ade quate to answer all requirements. tha former frankly admitting that ha believed ha was mistaken , In charging Dalrymple with tha theft Thai court scored White and dismissed tha case. taxing tha costs to him. White had stated that ha dropped the ease because ha would loaa his job if he pushed tha charge. Foreman Thomas of tha Terminal roundhouse say a: . - "White, who charged Dalrympla with stealing tha shoes, never returned to his work at tha roundhouse after dismissing tha charge. He told me before he caused the charges, to be dismissed that he understood that If ha did not dismiss them he Would never ba permitted to turn to work, but ba would have been. Both men are good workmen, and both were friendly until the trouble over the shoes. I would not have discharged White, even if ha had not dismissed the charge against Dalrymple.' r ' It la thought that soma one at the roundhouse, in a spirit of fun. told White that Dalrympla had admitted tak ing tha shoes, and that White, in a fit of anger, took snap judgment Tha old shoes have,- meantime, failed to walk Into view, the Identity of their present wearer remaining unknown. i'.: -- Fourth aad Stark Streata '.

A modern Turktsa -, U. a BOWBRSLJHUnagaa,. , ; SAYS LICENSE WOULD -FOSTER COMBINE DESIRE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE A committee of pubjlo safety, with power to carry out its recommendations, is one of the probabilities In tha way of a new standing committee of the city council. It is said that there la urgent need for such a committee to look after the safety of the public In buildings and on streets and at work. "', The move received its Impetus from the work of the theatre inspection com mittee, that accomplished. jome good work, and was discharged at. tha last council meeting on lta own recommenda tion. It Is said that builders, contractors. and sometimes owners of structures are inclined to be careless In carrying out ma cnarter nuucing regulations.

He says that It would keep out competent workmen who coma from eastern atatea with a view of locating here. " There are now about eight firms engaged in electrical work in this city, and the competition is brisk, as tha business Is somewhat over- dona : There would be no probability of an expert securing employment from the firms already doing business here, and if he were required to put up $100 in ad vance per annum- for license, instead of I2S for three months, he would likely be unable to go Into business for himself. The probable result would ba hat the electricians would make a combine on prices and the public be the sufferers. The passage of such a measure-Jby the council would effectually ahut out com petition, and those already in business could well aiford to pay the Increased license rata. - - . - STAR TH EATRE iorTiana rasnionaoie VaadcvIIle Playhouse VABJC axo ASKnrops its,; , Shews toalght at 7:80, S:30 anO 0:89. , ( v nuaaum iv cents.
