Lter he made an In H vestigatlon and discovered that the 'it Thorn wait horse had disappeared. ' Forming the belief that the animal was 'under, the stack, Klmbrough made a search by probing the stack, whk-hoon-talned many tons, with a hay fork, and ;.by digging tunnels in the hay, but was .V.unabi to locate the horse. He. then . came to the city and. reported the mat ter to Whltcomb, and the latter as companled him to the stack, when a 'f further search was made. V, it was then decided that the horse was .' dead beyond all question. Klmbrough '. -was -therefore greatly - surprised Wed (.nesday. to see the horse mrge from ' the hay stack and strike for water, ,V having eaten Its way out..

' . At th Lewi and,. Clark fair grounds work I going-' on, , though seriously crippled by the strike declared last -Friday. The strikers have been unable to completely suspend operations on any on building, whfl contractors have been unable te secure enough men to take tb places of the strikers.. Th government building Is practi cally, at a standstill, though a dosen men or more are at work there. -. On th other buildings a few men are working, but the number Is not suffi cient to . make material progress. . . Th strikers were Joined this . morn ing by the staff workers, hangers, and other skilled laborers who havs re frained t. from ' going out , up to this una . . ' , .. i- V Superintendent Ward, to charge of the government building under -the su pervision Of Contractor Bennett, Joined th strikers ' today. . Sine th strike became effective he ha endeavored to effect a settlement of the controversies and at th same time to keep a number of men at'wqatt on th building. At the employment agoney that as been established on th grounds It la announced that approximately tOO men have been employed to take th place of th strikers. Directors of Works Huber declare positively that there will be enough men by the end of the week to continue work on all th buildings. ' He further declares that while, th fair management as auch will tak no part In th troubles between oantractoraJ and-employea. it will not submit under any considerations to the unionising of sll employe on th grounds. Up to this time.' he says, the management has taken no part In the struggle except by moral Influence.; '. . . . y : ( Contractors' have bees: forced, to. sh sort to th tactics employed by th strik ers, and an applicant for work la be sieged when he approaches .th entrance by representatives of both; the union and the employer. He listens to arguments on both sides, had then chooses his road.- Men have bean employed by th con tractors to remain near th entrances and approach applicant for work. . In a similar way th strikers have turned away several hundred workmen, and the contractors believe they will win by following the same tactics. Today' re sults were about equal. ' Contractor Wakefield ranched tb grounds early this morning with a dosen men he had sec a red to work on the New York- building. They Were accosted when they reached the crowds surround ing th grounds and sll were Induced to refrain from working. 'They placed their kits of tools On th cars and cam back to the city. ' - ' "W are gradually getting men." said Mr. Huber, "and I am poattlv that w will soon have plenty. The fair man agement will never consent to the union ising of all employes on the grounds. Up to this time w havs taken no part In th strike. - In ess the work I delayed we would bnv recourse against th con tractors. However, It will not be de layed." An arrangement has been mad where by Contractor Worcester.' who ha th contract for constructing th Inside Inn, will meet the board of governors or tn Structural Iron Workers with a view to settling th difficulties. . Th meeting will be held tomorrow.' A foreman wbe has remained loyal to Contractor Benriekt will meet with repre sentatives Of the strikers this afternoon for tha same purpose.' Tomorrow morning we will have two thirds of a full crew at work On th government building," aald Contractor Bennett this afternoon. "By th fol lowing day we will have a full crew, and will be turning men away. Two thirds of a -crew will be -about ZOO men. "Of that number over 10 per cent are men who worked for us before. (We asked no. questions about their being members of .the' untotT and will mako no- discriminations." V GIVES UNION'S SIDE, . : President Onus of Pedsratiom of tabor Zseae Adore to th Pmbllo. , " '' C. H. Oram, president of J he Oregon State Federatlpn of Labor, ha Issued an address , td ''the public giving th unlon's side of the controversy at the exposition grounds as follows: "To the public The otrlke, of the building trades at the Lewls and Clark exposition ground has reached such pro portions that it is necessary ; that the reason for th trouble should be marie public. The daily papers have published reports gathered . In hast and wholly at . variance with existing facts. Any one' who cares to take the trouble to visit the ground can see for themselves that the work has been tied up op prac tically all of the buildings, and out . of too men less ihan 100 are now employed. The cause of th trouble Is ndt of recent origin.' . While the strike a couple if weeks ago on the government building wss precipitated on account of the dis charge of Superintendent Ward this was simply the culmination of a condition of dissatisfaction existing amongst the men for weeks previous. The reel cause of the trouble la due to a breach of faith no the part of the Lewis and Clark corporation, or Its scents. Two years ego, when committees were placed In the Oeld to s6licit for tha 00,000 fund, th trade unlqna of Ibe city were vis ited and were promised by these commit tees that in return for stock subscribed all work on the grounds would be done under unloa condition . wlli .unioiri meiyi PEANUT AND LUKCH STANDS ITHROUTE iSGSQPilS , - - i-i. a MwniTr ottjtkp"" ' wiw I" -i..

"After . thousand of ' workmen wer beaded, towards Portland by the allnring promises in these "deceptive .advertise ments,'' upon arrival -in this city they were-confronted jwlth a condition i of scarcity bf labor and the poorest kind Of. Paz.Mt, systematlo plan of dlsorfm lnatlon was instituted by the contractor and employment agencies, against union men, and- preferences were given , to workmen not belonging to labor organi sations. ' Several attempts wer mad by the labor unlona of Portland to get th fair management . and contractors to enter into a working agreement simi lar to thos operating at th lata Si. Louis exposition, but each proposal was turned down The working day waa in creased from -eight - (th . customary hours employed on private contracts tn th , city to nlnei and workman were hired for 11.75. per day and np. All of th buildings on- the grounds were con structed under these conditions by nesr ly all Imported men.' Then tb contract for tb government building was let to J. B. Bennett. Through prassur the working day - was ' shortened to eight hours and a alight Increase of wages waa given A doctor" a fee of tl per month waa Imposed upon the workmen, and other unsatisfactory conditions - were prescribed.. The jnen then determined to organise a union, - which was done under charter' No. l7J'of the United Brotherhood -of Carpenters d Joiners. Then the system . of discrimination was begun ngalnst the union men, and many of the foremost workers In the - union wer discharged. which wss the real caose of - the strike two weeks ago. . A true waa arranged between Mr. Bennett and the unions, the -former agreeing to abolish 'the -doctor's Tee. and pay -com tnon laborers 21 cents an hour to those working on ' the ground, and 10 cents an hour to those working over iO feet above ground, including staff men: time and a half for overtime. - Bunaays ana holidays. This agreement Mr. Bennett has not -kept-in any .of its - provisions. The' doctor's fee-was taken out of the wages of-the men at ihelr last payday; common- laborr In ) many.

In addition to this an order was Issued to the under foreman to discharge ac tive union men a fast as possible, shd nilj their : place with 'Outsiders.- Th doctor's fee did not Include medicine and hospital.

"In ' the cane, of th, -. trouble with Wakefield . sV Jscobeeif, the Arm hsd an agreement with the Bridge and Structural-Ironworkers' union to , work none but ' union . men for the. union schedule of wages. On March. 1 .Mr.. Jacobsen violated this agreeuen by putting several- non-union, men to work, alongside of the union, men. The latter appointed a committee to wait upon Mr. Jacobsen for an explanation, and in a fit of rage he told them.ir they man t UK it tney could go home. The union men quit and; the Job was tied up.' '."The meh quit work on th Inside Inn and - th other buildings on the south side of 'Guild's Iske In pursuance of demand, for an 'eight-hour day, and a reasonable uniform wage. .xv "While organized labor of Portland Is not primarily responsible . for. . the trouble st the fair grounds, nor th un fair conditions established by the con tractors, it Is heartily.

Powell had received the money but had not paid it over to the county treasurer, and, so far n can be discovered .the shortage - still 'exist. Examination, esl now being -jnad Into his 'accounta- for thV succeeding year (tha last that he was county-. clerk) and apse ranees indi cate that a considerable aum received by Powell In, payment of delinquent -tax wag again- reUbned by. hlnv..? ; A Tha Oyuoxtnaltles." t'.

Powell's ' total payments to the county treasurer for the year wer only $5,000.27. -and of this amount on fourth was not. paid until flv months af tar he went but of office .' ....., - Powell's . total payment on account of taxes collected during this year wer less b 01.400. than the shortage alone. which' appears. in th accounts -of th previous year. The Hlstes and amounts bf payments by Powell to th county treasurer on account of delinquent tax , collections received during his last year as oounty clerk appear, from th records, to hav been as follows: - November 14. 1S4 ..,,.....,..$ 117.17 November 11. 14 SSO.ia November IS.

Th record of the county for a" year after. Powella term expired. In July, 1S04. have been searched to find whether any other payments wer msde by him to the county on account of hlg shortage, hut no auch navmenta are shown. - Th story has been current for a long time past that while Powell was oounty clerk he borrowed about $S,000 from his mother-in-law In order to make good a shortage In Ma accounts. He Is- said to hav given his note for.thoi amount, and thla note, according to current re ports, was placed In the hands of local attorneys for collection, last year.." At that' time Power's first ,'wlfe who was divorced from him about two years age, waa threatening to sue him" for unpaid alimony amounting to $160,- and she is said to have told a number of people that her- mother held Powell's not for $8,000. and . expected to bring suit upon It. Indeed the not was ahown to-at least on attorney In thla city. But Powell paht-th alimony that was due and the collection of the note seems to have been abandoned.- His first wife now-denies that-such a hot ever exist ed. and declares her confidence that Powell was guilty of no official Irregu larities during his term as oounty clerk. Powell married a second time about a year ago. Before - his depsrturs for Alaaks he made some financial adjust ment with, his flrst wife. f .' ': iMAmt, 3. C. Moreland. who waa county Judge while .
