tel men'a association, with Mr. Beach,

ftno a spirit of optimism aa there is
In Bend and to have the opportunity
ot visiting tho city of which I heard

Boise Commercial club."
Bend is Ready
Railroads Facing Crisis
Dosplto tho Impending strlko,
threatened to go Into effect as fur
as froight business Is concerned,
Tuesday night, local merchants are
optimistic aa to tho outlook. A ma
jority of the stores In the city have
largo stocks on hand, and It Is the
general opinion among .dealers that
tho pooplo of Bond could bo fed and
clothed for two months, if all sup
plies from tho outsldo woro shut off.
This would not apply to the fancy
classes of goods, but In staples, tho
supply on hand Is ample, It is do
clnrod. -Whllo frotght business is expectod
to como to a halt tomorrow night, It
1b understood that passonger trains
will continue to run for some time.
No definite official Information was
received locally on this question, how
over. Outlining tho policy to bo observed
by local agents of tho O.-W. R. & N
tho following talogrnm wns received
this morning by S. L. Wiggins, local
frotght and pusseugor agent, from
General Manager J, P. O'Brien:
"A strike Including train and en
glnomcn of all tho railroads In the
Uittod. States has boon called on
onBtern' roads conunonclng Saturday,
March 17, and will probably become
effective In this territory on Sunday,
March 18, nt 6 p. m. Notice Is hore
by glvon that all froight that will
not roach Its destination on or before
Sunday, March 18, at 6 p. m may
bo subject to delay because of the
Impondtng strlko, and this company
will not bo responsible. '(or resulting
dolays, 1( Biime occuorB."
Instructions similar In spirit have
boon received on the Orogon Trunk
and other lines through tho north
west. No supplementary moBsagos
wore rocolvod, following wire news of
the 48 hours roprlevo.
Railroad men Btato that a lnrgor
proportion of Brothorhood mon In
tho northwost will refuse to i strike
than has boon expectod. This, it Is
The New rilot Butte Inn.
Inn.
Praised
Phil Metachan, Imperial. Hotel: "I
am very much Impressed with the
enterprise of Mr. Phillip Brooka. He
haa created something in the Pilot
Butte. Inn that will impresa Itaelf on
the minds of bualness and other vis
itors and help carry out the good lm
preasion which people have always
gained in Bend in the past through
your club. I believe that the Inn will
enjoy a good business. It is suroly
the hope of the hotel men of Port
land that it la successful, and we
should like to see more like it else
where (a Oregon, because only so
can we attract tourists to Oregon and
make the state the big playground it
ought to be."
Eric V. Hnuser and A. T. Lund
borg, from Portland, of the Mult
nomah and Benson hotels, respective
ly, were highly pleased with the new
Inn, pralBlng Its up-to-date and ef
ficient construction, combined with
Its artiBtic arrangement.
For Strike;
said, will hold good particularly In
the case ot long service men, who
expect pensions. If they should strike
and return later to the employe of
the railroads, the serving ot 60 years'
time would have to begin over again.
The chief hardship which the strike
Is likely to work in this section, is
on shippers, who will be unable to
get stock, lumber and other products.
Bend lumber producers admit frank
ly that they have no idea as to what
will be tho outcome In caso'the strlko
la protrnctod. Stockmen will have
to be content to teed until transpor
tation is again provided.
"Tho situation Is very serious In
deed," was the statement of V, C.
Wilkes, assistant general freight and
passenger agent for the S. P. & S.,
who wns in Bend today for tho opon
lng ot the new Pilot Butte Inn. "We
are pinning our faith to the old men
In the service, who are nearlng the
poiiBlon age, and who, it they were
to quit now, would be too old to find
re-oraployment. A lorge number of
those have told us that they will be
loyal, but how many of them will
actually stand by us cannot of course
be determined until the strike goes
into effect.
"Another thing we are banking on.
Is the fact that many on the extra
Hats, lu all lines of tho sorvtoo, have
volunteored to work. This condition,
porlinps, does not obtain to so large
an extent in the eastern soctions,
where labor is not so plentiful as In
the west.
"Practically all cities on our lines
are well taken care ot ns tar as sup
plies go, and I think that there will
be little real hardship because of lack
ot the necessities of life, on account
ot the strike. The thing which we
the strongly hoping for Is that the
report that the men on the Northern
Pacific and the Pennslyvania lines
will refuso to strike, may come true.

FARMER BURNS HAS GLOWING
RECORD BEHIND HIM IN HIS
SEVEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
GEORGE TRAINS HARD.
Local fans are looking tor big
league stuff Monday night when
Billy George meets the formidable
Farmer Burns, of Echo, light heavy
weight champion boxer ot the Pacific
Coast in the ring In a ,10 round con
test. V- -
Burns has considerable handicap
in DOillt of WAlffllt nr ftonrca Rnrnfl
weighing close to 175 and George
making 158 pounds. In reach both
men are evenly matched with a meas
urement from tip to tip. Fans who
have watched the visiting boxer work
out say that he has a style quite sim
ilar to George, that he is a tower ot
Btrength, quick and aggressive. The
toughest KO of this season is exnected
botween these two men. Burns is
not making any boasts as to the out
come, but he is extremely confident.
Burns has an enviable record behind
him In the ring world, never having
been knocked out and having only
two decisions registered against him.
He lost to Young Jack Johnson, In
Portland at the Rose City Athletic
club, last Juue, by a decision in a six
round bout. Three years ago Burns
was handed a defeat by the decision
route against Joe Bonds at Astoria,
and came back last June and won
from Bonds at Portland by a decision
which gave him the Pacific Coast
title In the light heavyweight class.
George has been training consist
ently with local talent ever since his
laot go with Volley Trombltls. Ho
says that he 1b In the best ot shape
to meet this man Burns, and that he
is expecting the hardest go he has
ever had in this neck ot the Junipers.
George Is depending on his wallop
and great endurance to put him over.
From the vlewpotnt ot the local
fans it Is difficult to ascertain wheth
er the Burns-George go or the Gil-bort-Schoel
match Is the main event.
This soup kitchen stuff that some
of the fans wore trying to put over
of the former lad from Cheyenne has
all faded and now he 1b touted as a
winner In UiIb event. '' It has leaked
out that School, too, has a record be
hind him, among which Is listed the
scalp of Young Corbett. It Is whis
pered In training circles that Schoel
set George ovor In his corner rather
roughly while George and School
were working out In training quar
ters. The Hoko-Btkerlght go also prom
ises to be a fast match.' -

STATE HEALTH OFFICER GIVES
ADVICE AS TO ORDINANCE
PROVIDING FOR DISPOSAL OF
SEWAGE."
Steps to make Bend a more sani
tary, more beautiful city, were taken
tnis arternoon, when Dr. David N.
Roberg, state health officer, mooting
with City Health Officer rr nwlrhr
M. Miller, Councllmen John Steidl,
City Engineer Robert B. Gould, City
Attorney Benson, and . County Judge,
W. D. Barnes, outlined the principles
ot a sanitation ordinance to be draft
ed by the city attorney and presented
to the Bend council.
According to the Ideas nTnronnarl
by Dr. Roberg, the city should bo
provided with septic tanks, excepting
in sections where a sewer system has
already been Installed. "It is a prob
lem which every growing city must
face, and the exnense nrnhahlv wnulrl
not run more than $50.00 for each
nouaenoitt," he declared. The ordi
nance as outlined, would . give the
iocoi neaith officor power to enforce
proper sanitation by means ot a
nuisance abatement clause. - .
Tho advice given by Dr. Roberg
is In line with the policy advocated
by Dr. Miller since his coming into
office, but which he has beeu power
less to enforce because of the lack ot
necessary city laws. ,.
