Ohio, spent n few hours yesterday in Portland on a tour of tho Pacific coast. The organization Is com posed of wealthy young men and though subject to the call of the governor In case of riot, Invasion or other rier-essl! y, the company has no other connection with the state, federal or other govern ment or with any club or boosting or ganization. It Is absolutely self sup porting and owns Its own splendid arm ory and equipment. The Grays was organized by a num ber of the moiit prominent young citi zens of Cleveland three quarters of a century ago. In 1860 aa a company of th First Ohio volunteers Its members took part In the early part of tho Civil war. When their enlistments expired they wore again mustered In as company A, 15'Hh Ohio. A splendid record of servkv was placed against the names of the members at that time. In the Spanish-American war tho company was again mustered Into servlco us com panies A It and C, Tenth Ohio volun teers. The- company arrived, 65 strong, -at 1:30 yesterday afternoon on a special train as the second section of the San Francisco Express.

Hood River, Or., July It,- About one year' ago a moral wave struck the city and doteatlves were employed to watch the drug dispensaries and get evidence to convict those susplcloned for selling liquor. No "boose" peddling could be detected. When time for settlement came the sheriff and the chief of police paid the bills. It Is claimed that tha county Judga and'councllmen, who were then In power, promised to pay the necessary expense, but there 11 nothing on record to this effect, and the pres. ent county court and city council refuse to pay the expense Incurred.

Journal Want Ada bring res 222L district are d sirous that the people shall pay as low a rental as possible, for the use of tho new bridge, and are startled at the difference between the present rental of $250 to $30D a month for the old bridge contrasted with the more than $3000 asked for the new bridge, but at the same time they fear the congestion, danger of accident and immense loss of time that will ho oc casioned by the diverting of traffic. President J. 1). Farrell of the O-W. n. & N. company, said this morning: "We are exceedingly desirous of reaching an agreement that will be fair to all concerned. We do not wish to charge the public for the use of any. part of the bridge except that which was made necessary In our contract to build an upper deok on the railroad bridge. We opened negotiations with the county for the use of the bridge. Since that time wo learned from the news papers that tho county had turned the matter over to the city. Hut we have never heard from he county to this ef fect. Old Bridge to Close, "The task of determining which was the city's and which the railroad s part In the bridge Involved highly technical calculations. We asked the bridge en gineers, Waddell & Harrington, to do this. We opened our books to the coun ty and we understand unofficially that the city and county engineers checked over our figures and found them as we had stated. "In accordance with our contract we served notice that In 80 days from date of notice, or August 9, the old bridge must be closed. Had we held to tha loiter of our contract wo would have felt obligated to close tho old bridge as noon as the new bridge was In use, but we did not desire to bo accused of sharp pniotlve by the poople. "Wo understand that the Taxpayers' league had taken this matter up. We stated that wo would ba glad to ac cept tho decision of a committee of com mon representation, the city and county and citizens to appoint an engineer, we to appoint ono. We ar willing to go farther and If the decision of these two Is not satisfactory to accept the appoint ment of u third. We understand that Mr. Modjcskt, who was tho engineer of the North Hank bridge, would be In the city soon . and would be In a posi tion to accept the appointment. We would be satisfied with Mr. Modjeskl's appointment because he Is an eminent engineer, and fair." Mr. Farrell intimated that he was dissatisfied with the course of the county In not sending a notice of the change of responsibility. He did not deny that It was his opinion if the coun ty did business In a business-like way the communication would have been sent, the way opened to negotiations with the city and the muddle prevented. The various phases of Mr. Farrell's statement were confirmed by General Manager J. P. O'Brien. Where Bespomlbllity Llei. County Commissioner D. V. Hart said for the county court this morning that Us responsibility for adjusting the rent al difficulty had been turned over to the city. Mayor Rushlight said he had never heard from the county court that this responsibility had been shifted to the city. "The method of procedure," he said, "would be for tho county court to notify the common council and then for the council to authorize) me to enter Into negotiations with the railroad. But I have never heard either directly or through the council about this matter. I do not feel that the city can take any steps In this matter unll we are nolfied."" Asked If he believed the Broadway bridge could be completed In time to prevont long continuance of aoutu tranB-i river traffic congestion In case an agree ment with the railroad was not reached, the mayor said: "I should think the old bridge might be left In uso until tho Broadway bridge la completed." When advised that the contract be tween the government and the railroad required the removal of the old bridge wilhln six months from the opening of the new bridge, the mayor said he ould rafer tho entire matter to ths city attorney for advice. feet out -of the window.
