of the Well-informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and

Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical line and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.7 .'.y j

TRAPPEB nAS . FORTUNE
IN BLACK sFOX PELT
(Special Dlapatcn' to Tha Journal.)
New Westminister, B. C, Nov. 12.
With a small fortune In the shape of
a fox pelt flung across his back, Fred
erlck Algernon Montgomery, one of the
most successful trappers of the north
land, walked into Btrathcona last week
artey an absence or thre months in
the vermin belt. The pelt wmcn jtfont
gomery brought down 1 that of a
highly prised black fox. which Is
worth from 1900 to J1.B00. On an aver
age only five black skins are brought
own i rom tne nortniana cacn year,
aithougn tnousanas or men maae a nv
ins by trapping tho furry creatures and
more than 100,000 foxes are 'captured
in Canada alone cacn season.
The pelt of tha black fox is highly
prized by the aristocracy, Russian au
tocrats being especially anxious to se
cure all available specimens. There is
an ever open market for this pelt In
Russia, the supply being infinitely
smaller than the demanu.
Within the past, 20 years a number
of men of long experience in the trap-
Dine business nave attempted to in
crease tha breed of black foxes by cap
turing young ones anive ana turning
them out in large lnclosures to breed
but bevond the expenditure of larae
urns of money nothing tangible ever
resulted. Nature guards as closely as
ever the reason for the existence of
black, red and gray foxes in ona fam
ily.
BABNES TRACT
r, . BBINGS $4,850
The county commissioners yester
day sold the John Barnes tract of 48
acres, on which competitive bids were
received recently, tdUBeorge M. Strong.
He bid $4,860, being the highest bidder.
As the title to the land is being made
a matter of contest in court, the county
gave the purchaser a contract for a war
ranty oeea, accepting a part payment
on the purchase price to bind the deal.
The county will defend the title and the
commissioners leei connaent that they
will be able to give a clear title, one
suit on muoh the -same grounds having
already been decided in favor of the
county as against the heirs of Barnes.
The land lies along the Troutdale
electric line about 11 miles from the
city, and the purchaser intends to plat
It for sale. The land was given to the
county by Barnes in 1859 in return for a
promise of the county to care for hlm
the remainder of his days. The con
test of title is based on the claim that
the county did not keep the contract.

COUNCIL CALLS
FOR
Asks Mayor' to Ascertain
Status of Employment
Office for. Sailors.
Thet mayor was., Instructed by the
council yesterday afternoon to, appoint
a committee 'of flveV councllmen to" in
vestigate the affairs of the Wisschus
sen & Jones Employment agency to de
termine whether the license of that
firm should be revoked.
The license committee recommended
the revocation but after Attorney
I George Shepherd, appearing for the em
ployment oxnea, naa snown mai in,
question Is one' of euch importance as
to at least deserve careful attention.
Councilman Vaughn refused to alow
Its settlement in summary fashion.
Mr. Shepherd declared that the- license
had been regularly Issued to Wlsschus
sen and Jones and that they had vio
lated no laws, either state or municipal,
In running their business. Therefore,
contended the lawyer, tho council had
no grounds on which to revoke It.
"The state exacts a license from sail
ors' boarding-houses, or from the own
ers of any houses wherein sailors are
boarded, lodged, or harbored," con
tinued Attorney Shepherd, "and ' the
nnlv thlnsr nrinn which the counoil
claims the right to revoke this license
Is that my clients have harbored sail
ors. We deny this and until it can
be proven we demand mai we u -in
frinftniia in business. We
have a right to furnish sailors to ships
under our employment agency license.
Portland is the only port in the
world that allows shipowners and ship
pers to be mulcted for a large sum
each year, which goes Into the pockets
of sailors' boarding-house. keepers. And
this Is because of a state law that
riinpfH m. mnnoDOlv on the
himiness of shipping sailors, enabllngj
hm to charee three times as much as
the service is worth. All this money
comes out of the pockets of our own
people."

Harriman Manager Writes
City Council Concerning
Fourth' Street Matter.
In communications addressed to the
mayor and each member of the council.
P. O'Brien, general manager . of the
Harriraan lines in Oregon, informs them
that any action which may be taken
to force the removal of steam locomo
tives and freight cars from Fourth
street will be useless, as he declares
the council has no authority to make
such an order ana an eiiort in mat ui
rectlon will only result In litigation.
Manager O'Brien goes on to say that
his company is hurrying work on the
new bridge across the Willamette and
will complete work on the cutoff be
tween Beaverton and Wlllsburg as soon
a nnsaible. As soon as this Is done.
h says, the railroads will discontinue
freieht traffic on Fourth street entire
ly and part of the passenger service as
well.
Mr. O'Brien saya that this would
have been done before if the panic of
last fall had not Interrupted the com
pletion of the bridge, which is the con-
nectingyiinK Deiween tne new cutoir ana
the existing lines. Ills letter, he says,
is intended as a friendly effort to avoid
trouble which might be precipitated by
any hasty procedure on the part of the

SAYS STATES
Ii. W. Montague Tells of Re
cent Conference Between
Salmon Fishermen of Ore
gon and Washington at
Seattle. v
Prospects for harmonious legislation
by the legislatures of, Oregon and
Washington regarding the regulation of
salmon fishing on tne Columbia are
very favorable, according to the report
of R. W. Montague, who returned last
night from the fisheries conference held
in Seattle yesieraay.
This conference was a Joint meeting
months ago by Governor Chamberlain
of Oregon and Governor Mead of Wash
ington to investigate the salmon, fish
ing Industry, and to seek a common
basis for the enactment by the two
states "of laws which shall not conflict,
as do the present statutes.
"Of course we realise." said Mr. Mon
tague this - morning, "that there , are
some troublesome questions to be set
tled, but 1 believe that if the matter
is approached in the proper spirit we
shall have no great difficulty in secur
ing, the enactment of hrmon,ou wa
bv the. two states.
"The conferees met yesterday morn
ing, and a committee on program was
appointed, after which adjournment was
taken until 2 o'clock. At that hour
the committee on program reported,
giving the Columbia river business the
first place on account of the number of
Oregon men present.
Oregon Ken Are Heard.
'President H. S. McGowan called on
the Oregon men td express their views,
and thev were accorded a full hearing.
Henry O'Malley, superintendent of the
state hatchery, gave his views on the
matter, arid it S. McAllister, state fish
warden, gave an interesting address.
Mr. Warren and Mr. Seufert told what
they thought should be done, and H. M.
Lomtson, Secretary of the fishermen's
union, took an interesting part in tho
discussion.
V"I was called upon too. I made ho
attempt to outline laws desired but
pointed out the urgent necessity of in-
erstate legislation. I said that In
Oregon we regard this matter as a pub
lic question. We believe the salmon
business should be preserved for future
generations, and if approached from
that point of view, there Should be no
difficulty In anWig at a satisfactory
conclusion.
"I also suggested the appointment of
a permanent commission to' appoint
committees from the two states to en
deavor to reach a conclusion upon
which laws should be baaed,
"The spirit of the Washington au
thorities I found to be very fair, and I
am sure they are prepared to meet us
more than half way."
Many Attend Meetiagv
Those present at the conference were:
H. 8. McGowan of McGowan, Gus Hens

Prominent East Side Busi
ness Men Say City's Duty.
Is to Build. ,
.Whitney L. Boise, president of the
United Bast Side Push club, believe It
Is the City's duty to build a bridge to
accommodate the people living north 'of
Sullivan' gulch. ' . - )
"There are as many' people living
north Of the' gulch now," he said this
morning, "as there were In Portland at
a time when we had four bridges. : And
that part of the city is going to grow
very rapidly. The people over there
are entitled to a bridge.
or course, we oon t any or us line to
av more taxes, but brldrea are some-
8
ninar we must nave lr tne city is to
spreaa out. tiesiaes, tne people Jivin
north" of Sullivan's gulch ' have pal
their share toward providing bridges
for those who live, south of the gulch,
and it is only fair that the rest of the
city should now contribute toward giv
ing them a bridge. There are going to
ne a gooa many more people living in
that part of town when the Swift pack
ing plant opens, and they must have
some way of getting across the river.
"The. taxable property now is worth
five times what it was when we had
four bridges, three of them owned by
the city, and- we can afford another
bridge.
"As to the type of bridge to be built,
Mr. Modjeski Is an expert and I would
rather-take his judgment In the matter
than depend upon my own.; I can't see
that the structure he recommends will
Interfere very much with navigation.
There are not many high-masted vessels
that will want to go above the bridge,
so traff to will not be delayed very often
by the opening of the bascule."
George W. Bates, the east side banker,
expresses himself as heartily in favor
of the proposition to construct a hew
bridge.
"It is something that should have
been done long ago," he says. "Every
body on this side favors the proposi
tion. And I think the Broadway loca
tion is the best that can be found. I
approve Mr. Modjeski'a recommendation
for a medium high bridge."

Two days after they were wed, John
Stewart and. Edna Grames, whose home
is in New.berg, were put in the Portland
city jail because the girl's father had
not given his consent to the marriage
and the bride Is not yet of age.
me rortiana pouce were asked last
night to arrest Stewart and Miss
Grames, or Mrs. Stewart, as she now Is,
as Marshal Van Blarcom of Newberg
held a warrant charging Stewart with
abduction. Patrolman Leavens found
the young couple at Fifth and Wash
ington streets this morning and thev
are being held in tho city Jail.
Stewart, who says he is a shoemaker
by trade, but had a shooting gallery at
Newberg, declares he has treated the
girl wltrt the utmost respect and that
he can and will provide a home for her.
Both declare the girl's father has done
little toward giving her a home for sev
eral years. The girl's mother died be
fore she was 6 years old, she says.
Stewart was easily recognised by the
policeman, ror ne has two club reet, and
both hands are slightly deformed. The
girl, who declares she is 17 years old,
told Mrs. Baldwin of the women's police
auxiliary, this morning that she loves
Stewart and has no desire whatever to
return to Newberg.
The couple were married in Vancouver
Tuesday, according to the certificate
presented to Captain Bailey when they
were arrested. Rev. A. W. McKenzle
performed the ceremony. The girl, who
was married under the name of.Graham,
looks older than 17 years, but as she is
not yet of age they are being held pend

MILWAUKIE DISTRICT
Twenty-six families at Wichita, in
the south-end of the Milwaukie school
district, have formed a miniature con
federacy and are contemplating seces
sion In order to form a district of their
own. The 26 ' families say they wyt
send 80 pupils to school in their own
little schoolhouse and get along swim
mingly. A meeting of the confederates
will be held tonight to arrange plans.
They will undoubtedly go before" the
boundary commission of Clackamas
county and ask that they be set apart
from Milwaukie.
The movement has caused consider
able 111 feeling among citizens of Mil
waukee who say that the secessionists
should not withdraw without paying
their share of the $14,000 that has been
recently expended in enlarging the new
Milwaukie school house. It is the contention-
of the Milwaukie citizens that
these people -voted for the expenditure
and that they shoald assist In paying

Changes Will Be Made in the
Specifications for Albina

At a special meeting last night the
school bsard referred the plans for the
proposed high school In Alblna back to
the building committee, Messrs. Camp
bell and Flelschner. All bids were re
jected as too high, and-the checks re
turned to the- binders. ' . 1
Une amount avanauig jr n .
stfuctlon - of the high school is only
$260,060, this sunf having been realised
from the sale of bonds last month. The
lowest bid received approximated 1400,-
000: J.
The huildln committee wss Instruct
ed to follow plans already submitted
in so far as It is possible, but to bring
the cost within the limits of the bond
appropriation by ohanglng the material
or otherwise. It is suggested that by
substituting wood for other construc
tion wherever possible that this change
can be made and at the same time rea
sonable fire protection can be assured
by the use of the sprinkling system al
ready adopted by the. school board, v 1
Chairman Wittenbura- was ordered to
confer with Morris Brothers, as to the
form of bond to be used, tha one sub
mitted by the company not being en
tirely satisfactory. Morris Brothers and
E. H. Rollins & Son purchased the $260,
000 bond Issue,
SuDerintendent Rla-ler dislikes to ' see
the plans modified at all as he thinks
tne DUiiamg as oumnea oy tnese
would be a masmlflcent structure, and
the cost reasonable as compared to that
of similar schoolhouse in . other large
cities. The entire cost, while almost dou
ble what the city has. to spend, la cheap.
In Boston 21 cents a cubic foot Is the
estimate, while the Alblna high school
as now planned, by the architects would
mean an expenqiture oi not more tnan
18 cents a cubic foot.
"But I suppose," said Mr. Rlgler, "we
will have to get along for the present
with a cheaper and smaller building
than we want and need. The budget
for next year already call for - a
heavy outlay, a many of the grammar
schools will have to be enlarged and
some . new ones built to accommodate
the rapidly growing school population."

Cincinnati, Nov. II. Following tha
publication of a congratulatory tele
gram addressed to President-elect Taft
by Secretary Blihu Root, which , reads:
"Athos sends his affectionate congrat
ulations," friends of Judge Taft are
speculating today upon the Identity of
the other "Musketeers" who are tn
titled to assume the celebrated names
of Dumas' heroes rn the "Life and 'Bat
tles" of Taft.
"Can it be that the fiery and unre
strained Roosevelt Is the d'Artagnan of

Porthos, and if so can it be possible
that Frank Hitchcock Is the courtly

- The question were taken to th president-elect,
who referred the questioners
to his seoretary. The secretary smiled
knowingly and beyond declaring that
all thb Musketeers had been prompt to
offer congratulations he would not dis
close the personnel of the "Musketeers"
