In the . at tersoon a committee of the Strikers waited upon Mr. Kellogg, the wner ot the. launch and explained to v- him the nature of the buslneaa-ln' which . bla boat wU engaged.

The fairness of the Journal's suggestion is so self-evident that It can be expected to be acted upon at an early date. ' pulldlng In Portland Is very active at the present time; everyone Is full of energy, and a progressive spirit Is In the community, and it does not seem possible that any mill-owner would decline request to meet with the other mill-owners In discussing the points at Issue with acorn mittee representing their employes. The suggestion of the Journal was made in good faith, and it believes that it will be quickly acted upon. would be immediately withdrawn from the service as a smuggler, and he kept - hto Word. The Ho Hoo is no longer en gaged in the work. This morning the company had the , launch Imperial- plying between the mill and the East End, hut it did not do a very Successful business. Three men In tended te board the launch this morning 'near tlHr'tfedar .mill, but the pickets learned of the fact and notified the cap tain that they, were nonunion men and Intended to go to work In the boycotted mill, and the captain refused to land., The number of men at the mill still remains reduord ta about the atame aa on the ret day following the strike. New men are engaged every day but they al ; most invariably quit on learning of the true situation. The foreman Is acting In the' caapclty of engineer. Thus far not any of the union men have, returned to work- Yesterday was payday, and as was expected the pro prietors put forth their beat arguments aa each man was paid oft to get him to return to work, but not one of them yielded to the Inducements made. One "of the union employes said this morning: "Since being. poid off the mea have.aioney now, and are In a better po sition than ever to prolong the tight and Win. They feel hapy and Jubilant, and feel -that they afe on the verge of victory.--., , . president Bushman stated: "Several prominent business men, not" politicians, have said during, the past day or two that the proprietors of the mills should take some steps to corns to un under standing with the men and adjust the difficult!. They are only prolonging hostilities Indefinitely hy making no Steps to arrive at an agreement." The other mills, not unionized, are ap parently assisting the boycotted mill by sending them all available help in the way of idle employes, but the pickets are looking out for all these men, and there fore no grant headway is being made Jong this line.

The soil in the wheat sec tions In the eastern part of the state is wet to a good depth, and ail that Is now needed Is warm weather to bring vegeta tion forward very rapidly. Farm work generally has been greatly retarded on account of the wet weather. and Spring; seeding In the Willamette Valley is not ret finished. In Eastern Oregon the soil Is In excellent 'condition for plowing-, and good advancement has been made In summer-fallowing. Wheat, although backward, is very promising, except in portions ot the Wil lamette Valley, where it Is becoming yel low on account of the lack ot sunshine. Spring wheat also Is unusually slow tn germinating, but with the ample moisture now tn the soil a few days ot warm, sunshiny weather la all that Is needed to bring the grain crop out hi excellent con dition. . Feed on the ranges ' is splendid ahd stock In all parts of the state is doing nicely. In the plateau region the In crease In lambs has been the heaviest In years. Sheep-shearlhg is "progressing slower than usual on account of the cool weather. The clip Is reported to be good.
