' ' BRIEF NEWS OF THE WEEK New York Is not to have aworld's fair In 1913 nor at any other time perhaps. The committee appointed some time. ago by the mayor to con sider the scheme has decided that the city does not need a fair. Department heads of the Santa Ft' Railroad Company have been notified that beginning December 1 smoking cigarettes by employes would be con sidered sufficient cause for dismissal. The use of aeroplanes by the war department is recommended by the board of ordnance and fortifications in Its annual report to the secretary of war. President Taft has withdrawn ap proximately 6,070 acres of public land in Washington and Oregon for water- power sites. The lands situated in Washington are along the Little Pend d'Orellle River, approximately 4,180 acres; along Jackman Creek, approxl mately 780 acres; along Lost Creek, approximately 120 acres. Oregon, along Rogue River tributaries ap proximately 900 acres. Foremost on the list of the con ventions of the week Is the annual' session of the National Rivers and Harbors congress, which assembled in Washington Wednesday. - Other conventions of more or less Interest and importance are the annual meet ing, of the American Red Cross so ciety in Washington, the convention of Jhe American Road Builders' asso ciation In Indianapolis, the meeting of the Southern Homeopathic Medical association la Jacksonville, and a meeting in St. Paul of the forestry officials of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota to consider plans for the prevention of forest fires. OFFER EXORBITANT TRAINMEN DEMAND INCREASE Employes of Western Roads Asking for Millions. Chicago. Representatives of ap proximately 66,000 conductors and trainmen, employed on the sixty rail roads wet of Chicago, who have do manded an increase in wages aver. aging about 15 per cent, are holding dally conference here with the gen eral managers In presenting their ar guments for the advance In pay and improvements in working conditions, It Is estimated that the new scales asked by .the men will exceed ' in amount those asked by lUe engineers recently, which aggregated nearly 15,000,000. It is reported that the engineers of several of. the big Western rail roads have already completed their votes, showing 99 per cent in favor Of a strike, unless their demands for a 15 per cent advance are granted The railroads offered an advance of about 9 per cent. The old battleship Oregon, after five years of silence, daring which time she has rested at itnchor out of com mission at the Bremerton navy yard, is again ready for active service. Governor-elect Oswald West an nounces that Ralph Watson, a re porter on the Portland Journal, has received and accepted the appoint ment of private secretary to the gov ernor. The secretary of the Interior has re jected all bids which were received at the office of the reclamation service at Klamath Falls for the furnishing of a skid dredge for dredging canals on the Klamath irrigation project. To reclaim 15,000 acres of land in the Wood River valley, Klamath county, a .levee 21 miles in length is being built by Senator Abner Weed of Siskiyou, Cal. The work is about half finished. Frank J. Milter, of Salem, has been appointed state raUroad commissioner to suceeed Governor-elect West. Mr. Miller will immediately take up his new duties. This appointment extends to the first of the year when he will continue in office, having been elected to that position. As a token of the esteem in which their fellow co-laborer has been held by them during the past four years, Oswald West, who retired from the railroad commission, was presented with a beautiful silver cup by Com missioners Aitcheson and Campbell and by Commissioner-elect Frank J. Miller. The cup is a large affair, is gold lined and is engraved with these words: "Oswald West, trom the mem bers of the railroad commission of Oregon, Thomas K. Campbell, Clyde B. Aitcheson, Frank J. Miller, Decem ber 2, 1910." , The second semi-annual state threshers' convention will be held at La Grande December 9 and 10. This convention will be the most import ant event in the history of the asso ciation, as at this meeting the dele gates will outline new laws to govern the threshing industry for considera tion at the coming session of the leg islature, and it is expected that every thresherman in the state will make a special effort to be present. , Among the laws to be suggested are bridge planking, Inspection of boilers, licens ing engineers, etc The State Board of Equalization met Monday and will continue in ses sion until the review and equalization is completed. The law allows one month as maximum time fcr the com pletion of this work. Following the equalization and review, apportion ment of the. state tax will be made. The commissioners are not certain what extent of work there will be this year in connection with the equaliza tion. Meetings will be held in the offices of the tax . commission, unless there is a particularly heavy attend ance and at such times the board will adjourn to the state senate chambers. The convention of the Oregon-Idaho Young Men's Christian Associations at Eugene adopted by .unanimous vote resolutions providing for the initiative and referendum in the affairs of the organization. The resolutions provide that any 10 per cent of the associa tions in the two states may file their referendum petition any time within 90 days after the close of the. Besslon of the state convention. Each asso ciation is entitled to two votes on each measure, one additional vote for each 100 active members and one ad ditional vote for a majority fraction of 100 active members. A constitu tion was adopted providing for incor poration under the laws of Oregon which was not possible under the old constitution. - The principal place of business will be in Portland D MPRACTICAB LE MANAGER LOCAL ELECTRIC COM PANY STATES OTHER SIDE OF POWER QUESTION.

The. .terms "of thie proposition, were unreasonable, olalmo Mr, Forsythe. The coat of the line would have bean $4000 atid uhe; buyer ould have hed to etond all the line lost, cost of transformers, etc. Even- if the terms, had. not made the proposition out of the question. Mr. Forsythe olaimsi 'thie whofe pro ject Is impracticable .not a feasible scheme at ell. Furthermore, Mr. Forsythe says, la unnecesGa'ry. His company has the power needled, to Mht itihe. Ity and furnish their c'us'tomers with all the Juice they, want during running hour of thie plant. The local company is planning tbout $8,000 worth, of improvements next car, Mr. Forsythe says, but no day current wlH be given until in the comipany's opinion there; will! be profit ini Its operation. Mt.
