The In ter - State liner Canberra, while steam ing along the coast one Sun day, passed a British w ar ship. Orders were given to dip the flag, which took exactly two m inutes. Those members of the crew who were concerned in dipping the flag claimed half an hour’s pay overtime a t Sunday rates. When this was refused the whole of the crew went on strike at Melbourne and the ship was held up until a settlem ent was reached. HIS HOME PORT !

On the final vote upon the proposition the majority of the Eastern Oregon senators supported the hill for the Ashland normal, although they all expressed the fear that the people might defeat the Eastern Oregon proposal after the Ashland school had once been estahlisked. The hill now goes to Governor Pierce for his signature. He has in dicated that he will not veto the measure, since he has- c. I ways been a strong advocate of all educational matters.

Certain friends of Wood are said to be willing to advance him the money with which to make the return trip to America, if he promises to leave Europe imme diately.
