Governor West, says she will do all this in an hour. ' Miss Hobbs . haa made no comment about j her contemplated trip. She was at the executive office all morning. Neither she nor'Ahe governor will reveal by what method's she expects to accom plish the- purposes of her trip. "She will not -hold, any conference with anyone at Baker," said the gov ernor. "She will go straight through to Copperfield and do the Job quicSly, as the train only stays there an hour. She will return on the same train she goes down on." . The train Is scheduled to reach Copperfield "about 2 p. m." It was suggested to the governor that the mayor and councilmen engaged In the saloon business have been advised by their lawyers to refuse to resign or to close their saloons. "He has another guess coming. The saloons will close just the same," was the governor's retort. "They will close quick, too." So far as known. Miss Hobbs is go lng alone.

Men coming to Portland expecting to find, municipal employment may 'find work, but the kind which it Is proposed to provide possibly will not be to their liking. They will likely be set to work breaking rock for use oh tho county roads and for their work receive board and lodging. Such is the plan of Mayor Albee, who broached the matter'' at a meeting held yesterday between the members of the city commission and a delegation from the Oregon Civic league. The mayors idea is te have the coun ty commissioners cooperate with . the city officials and establish a rock break ing camp in the vicinity of Kelly Butte. Here the men who are out of work will be given sledge hammers and set to work making little stones of larger ones. For this labor they will be given food and lodging aa well as clothing, f It has not been decided whether to pay the men wages for their labor. If wages are paid, however, they will bo very small. Gamp Separate From Boekpila. The men will be lodged either in tent or temporary frame structures to be erected for the purposes. The proposed camp will be In no way coneoted with the rockplle as handled by the county for its . prisoners, other than to use the rocic from the quarry. wnen this camp Is established - and the men notified that work, food and loaging. awaits them, they will be ex offer Of the city they, will be arrested and probably sent to break rock as prisoners and will be treated as such. There will be no restrictions for the men who will be employed at thft pro posed camp, other than those necessary by which to do the work. The men will be allowed to come and go when, they piease, but ir they are found idling auuui. luwn iuey are to go to jail. Work 7or Unmarried Hen. The rock breaking work will "be Lartre ly for the single men who are coming Into the city from nearby towns . and logging camps. Other arrangements are to be made for those married men. resi dents of the city, who are still out of employment. Mayor Albee said that he thought the plan was a good one for it would dis courage those from outside places com ing to Portland expecting to secure em ployment at S3 a day. . If the men are in need," said the mayor this morning." it will not be difficult matter to provide for them at a camp which can be established outside of the city limits. If without money with which to purchase food and lodging they ought to be willing to work if food and a place to sleep is provided. .. "I believe that-putting those coming to Portland in search of work in a camp and letting them - work 'for their board and lodging will do much toward dis couraging the idlers. Just how well the plan of breaking - rock" will work " out is 'a' question which can only be settled by trial.", , . SMayor Albee-and the other; members of the commission will take tbe mat ter up with the 3 county -commissioners tomorrow and it is expected that there will be ne opposition from the coanty authorities. w -. - SOM'3 LIGHT FRIGHTENS HOP "MAGNATE'S WIFE V- San Francisco, Jan, 1.
