Articles of Incorporation of the Pre-

with the aecretary of state todsy. The
company Is capitalised at 8S00.0OO.
The forming of. this company Is the
result of a earful examination of the
monster air craft now being completed
at the Lewis and Clark fair grounds by
C W. Preble.
The officers and directors of the new
company are: C. W. King of Olds,

proprietor of the Balem Woolen Milts

The Preble-Reksr ' Airship company
will build, buy and sell dirigible bal

are already being directed toward secur
ing a tract of land adjacent to this city,
where a . manufacturing plant will he
erected, and a landing place built At
Iraat 400 acres of ground will be neces

While the aim of the company Is to
construct craft along the lines of the
Preble dirigible airship, It will build
by contract any kind of an air craft de
sired. The principal business, however.
will be the construction and promotion
of the Preble machlnl. which la believed
by the members of the company to be
the most wonderful craft ever Invented.
The Preble machine will be given
trial flight as soon as the weather per

PORTLAND CARMAN
GETS OUT FIRST ISSUE
The Portland Carman, edited by John
3. Harrison, ' veteran ' newspaperman,
with a mission to distribute news
among the employes of the . Portland
Railway, Light & Power company, has
made its Initial appearance. It Is to
be ; published every - month, -sent free
to carmen, and supported by the street
railway company. B. S. Jossrfyn.-pres-ident-
of the company. In a letter of
announcement, explains the purposes
-of the magaslnftr -eaylng:
"In other cities where large num
bers of electric light and street railway
men are employed, companies have pro
vided some means of keeping the men
posted upon the affairs of the em
ployes who constitute the large fami
lies, with the purpose of harmonising
any difficulties and promoting ac
quaintanceship among fellow employes. '
I have had some such Idea In mind
for a long time, but press -of other
matters has prevented my giving the
employes or, this 'company a like fa
duty until now.
"Employes of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company are, for the
most part, sober. Industrious and re
spectable, and - have for their purpose
the building of homes and the making
of good citizens. I cons.it r them sec
ond to none In this respect and am
Justly proud of - the fact."
The Carman will be published on the
sixth floor of the new Electric build
ing. It will consist of short articles
and personal Items. The first edition
gives space to the cause of the street
car company as against complaints of
the people where poor, service . Is
charged. ' .
which they ltve." I

to the merchants of the country respon

It is understood that this phase of
me operations of the beef trust ha been
carefully investigated In advance, and
that It will be brought forward ss one
or the most definite and apparent fea
tures of the alleged monopolistic meth

It Is charged that by ths absolute
control of refrigerator car lines, which
must be used In the successful shipment
or meats ana other perishable food
stuffs, the trust has been, able to con
trol the movement of these necessaries.
It is also, expected that the govern

trust, through the leasing and alleged
manipulation of the refrigerator cars,
has obtained preferment of various
kinds, amounting In some Instances, It

STAMP OUT SMALLPOX
, - BY RIGID QUARANTINE
Failure to enforce Quarantine in Mal
heur and in Linn counties has -caused
smallpox epidemics which local author!
ties have round themselves unable to
cope with. They have called for aid
from the state board of health. ',. Dr-
Calvln 8. White, state health officer.
returned yesterday from, a visit to Linn
county. Ho said this morning concern
ing his trip:
"I ' found things in a rather serious
condition, yet, the smallpox is of com
parative mild form. The people had not
been observing quarantine, I found.
Sometimes those 111 with the disease
had been mingling with others. I found
eight cases in Lebanon; from three to
five each In Jefferson, Sclo and Crab
tree." .
Dr. White ordered strictest Quaran
tine enforcement, setting guards over
nomes containing smallpox.
ur. White ordered that the schools In
Malheur county, which had been closed
as the result of, a tardy scare, should
be opened again. , All school buildings
are being fumigated, Evew contact
with lmected persons Is beinor avoided.
It Is Dr. White's, opinion that an In
considerable smallpox infection hits -been

San Francisco, Cal Jan. 88. "San
Francisco will not ? be the -Parla of
America nor will It be conducted as a
city of. blue stockings." , "
This Is the sum total, of an Inter
view given out today by the new chief
of police, John Martin.
Chief Martin declared that ths term
"Paris of America," as used by him
was intended to oonvey the meaning it
had when opponents' of. Mayor McCar
thy, In the last campaign, declared San
Francisco - would become aa notorious
for vlee as la the French capital.
Chief Martin - was -inducted Into of
fice "at noon today. He has risen from
patrolman through every rank In the
department to . his . present .. position.
When he reached ' the rank of captain
ne retired because of ill health. The
Chief at the present time, however, is
in good condition and declares he will
be on-the Job all the time. -
"San .Francisco : will continue as a
desirable city to live in," concluded the
chief. ' ' "Everybody la guaranteed full
protection of life and property , under
the new administration . of the police
department . There will - be no gam
bling. If it Is possible to wipe out that
vice." - .', . . .

showed that Casey has sent only from
815 to 828 per month back home, and
the Judge did not think Mrs. 'Casey
should be greatly "blamed for" nof.com
Ing. Casey was earning less' than 85n
per month at the time of the alleged
desertion. " ; ;?":'' "
Judge Morrow denied a divorce In. the
case of - Martha Sylvester Wiemann
against Frederick 'Wiemann. This Vas
a contested case, taking of testimony
beginning yesterday afternoon." Mrs.
Wiemann alleged that her husband beat
and bruised her and called her vile
names; "She asked for 850 per -month
alimony and 8400 suit money. - The
court held . that' her conduct had 1 been
too belligerent to be free from blame
and that she could not have a.dlvoreo.
