lioncllng Proposition if C.rango Will
Accept Stuto AUl Measure Bond
Imhiio llcdiiccil.
Portland, Ore., Feb. 28. A pro
gram of compromise that ceded to the
state grange everything but state aid
was proposed by Governor West's
harmony good roads committee.
And, at that, C. E. Spenee, master
of the state grange, will not know
whother the compromise can be ac
cepted until the grange has Its meet
ing at Hoseburg, May 14.
The cession to the grange Involves
the approval by the committee of the
grange bill creating a state highway
department and engineer and its
county bonding act. The majority of
the committee could not approve the
grange county bonding act, but agreed
t accept It provided the state aid
nmnsure is approved by the grange.
The chairman. W. B. Ayer, W. K.
Newell. C. T. Prall and Judge Ber
nard Daly expressed willingness to
compromise to the limit, provided a
working system of highway leglsla-

of all who believe In good roads.
Itoiul Ihhuo Reduced.
State aid as proposed was acknowl
edged by C. E. Spence. master of the
grange, and member of the harmony
committee, as the best of Its kind
he had ever seen. A'.l he did In meet
ing arguments for the measure was to
doggedly, repeat: "I do not believe
in state aid at this time. The grange
has not authorized me to endorse any
state aid act."
Bond Imkii Reduced.
The measure reduces the proposed
bond Issue by the Btate from $2,000,
000 to $1,000,000 annually, and fur
ther provides that the bonded Indebt
edness, either of state or'county, may
not exceed 2 per cent of the assessed
valuation of state or county.
The amount forthcoming from
bonding, it is proposed, shall be di
vided. Two thirds of the fund Is to
be divided Into three equal parts. One
of these parts will be'dfvided equally
among the 34 counties In proportion
to assessed valuation. The third part
will be divided among the counties in
proportion . to 'their area.
The remaining one-third of the en
tire fund is to be )eft in the hands of
the state board, composed of the gov
ernor, treasurer, secretary of state
and highway commissioner. It would
be divided into two equal parts to be
thus used in the two congressional
districts. The third congressional dis
trict, Multnomah county. Is not in
cluded, as it is not thought It needs
such help and can well afford to on
trlbute to the other districts.
It is also proposed that if the as
sessed valuation of any county is less
than $10,000,000 it shall be compelled
to raise but one-half of Its apportion
ment from state aid in order to avail
Itself of state aid. When assessed
valuation of any county Is In excess
of $10,000,000 it will be required to
raise as much by county bonding or
other method as It will derive from
the state aid fund. .
Colonel C. E. S. Wood will draft
into bills the provisions outlined. The
convict labor bills will remain un
changed. Chuirman W. B. Ayer dic
tated a letter to Governor West out
lining the results of the deliberations
of the committee.
In order to reach the meeting
Judge Bernard Daly of Lakeview
traveled 1400 miles from his home,
meptinc the expense personally. He
said this morning that ho would glad
ly contribute much more if a state
wide system of roadbulldlng could but
be obtained.
With the aid of an Egyptian offi
cial a document was forged purport
ing to show that the Egyptian gov
ernment had offered $40,000 for the.
collection. Then the owner went to
Paris and secured a similar document.
Armed with these weapons the man
approached Morgan's agent and made
the deal.
When the Egyptian government re
ceived information regarding the for
gery the official implicated was dls-mlsHed.
Director Maspere, of the Egyptian
museum, declares that although the
collection bought by Morgan Is gen
uine,, it is really of little value and
the price paid was preposterously
high.

Chicago, 111. James J. Hill, rall-

enthusiastic users of concrete in the
United States, paid a fcrief visit to
the cement show in the Coliseum and
expressed his belief that in the near
future all the railroads and great
buildings of the country would be
built of concrete.
"Wood Is rapidly disappearing,"
said Mr. Hill, "and it is only a matter
or a short time until wooden rail
road ties will he a curiosity. '
"Concrete Arc" is Here.
"I believe the concrete age Is up
on us now. and, I, for one, am ad
vocating the use of cement wherever
it is possible. It is only by the ex
tensive use of concrete that the work
of conserving our forests will be suc
cessful." Mr. Hill was one of the first to ad
vocate the conservation of forests in
this country.

Denver Court Feels for Man Who
Spilled Coffee on Trousers.
St. Joseph, Mo. Dudley L Purk-
aple of Denver swore m a restaurant
when he spilled a cup of hot coffee
In his lap. He was arrested and haled
before Police Judge J. T. Allee.
"I'll admit I used bad language,"
said Purkaple to the Judge, "but, your
honor, I couldn't help It. I spilled a
cup of steaming hot coffee all over
my trousers, and, under the stress of
great pain and much embarrassment
I swore. I begged the pardon of the
restaurant man, hut a policeman ar
rested me."
"Of course you did wrong to swear,"
said the court, "but I believe that you
were almost Justified and that you
have suffered enough. Your case Is
dismissed."

over the decision by Judge Chap

court, who ruled in a te9t case of the

operates a typewriter Is not a me
chanic, even though employed in a
mechanical establishment. Not that
they desire to be , classed as me
chanics. but to guard against long

which formed the basis of Judge
Chapman's opinion:
"No female shall be employed in
any mechanical or mercantile estab
lishment, laundry, hotel or restau
rant In this state more than eight
hours a day. '
Judee Chapman held that an of
fice separate from the place In which
manufacturing or other mechanical
operations are carried on Is not It
self a manufacturing establishment.
hence Louis H. Bean, the aerenaant,
did, not violate the law by working a
stenographer more than eight hours
a day. The court ruled that the test
of the law was not so much the na
ture of the service, as the question
whether or not it was rendered in a
mechanical establishment.
Managers of the larger offices In
Spokane declare there Is no plan on
foot to Increase the working hours of
office help, saying also that stenog
raphers employed In local manufac
turing, mercantile and office build
ings have never worked more than
eight hours a day, even before the
state law was enacted a year ago.
