— The A ustralian seaman
is perhaps the most “ hard-
boiled” of his class in the
world, if the follow ing in­
cident can be taken as any
criterion.
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.

The attempt made by the Eastern Oregon Senators to 8
refer the Ashland normal question to the people, thus
placing it upon the same basis as the proposed Eastern
Oregon normal, was defeated.
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.

Lieutenant Osborne Wood,
son of Major General W ool, Gov­
ernor General of the Phikipines,
and whose colorful exploits in
Wall street attracted much a t­
tention a few months ago, and
whose disappearance from Paris
and whose appearance in Biarritz,
and whose discovery here has stir­
red the French Capital, left for
Madrid early today, with the an­
nounced intention of returning to
America, it was announced this
morning.
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. It is believed this move
is being made in order to protect
him from prosecution upon the
charges of forgery which are held
against him upon the continent.
