The following notice, printed with larg bold-faced type, appears In the offlc . window thl .morning - of the Portland aty uregon Street Kauway: , "Notice For the better convenience of ' the public, the management of the P. C. as, CO. advise ttt patrons-to take th boats to all river points. (Signed) : P. C. & O. R. Co., , f "By W. H, Hurtburt, Pres." '' Two car ar still running to Oregon City, but with Tiffany and Stuart, who are described as being careless, reckless and Incompetent, at the helm and prac tically carrying on what Is left ot the entire business ot the system, the com' pany Is very evidently getting uneasy and fearful that some great casualty will oc cur If any number of passengers should risk their lives on the cars. . Hence, the notice advising them not to do so. Above all other times the company cannot af ford to have anaccldent Just : now. It would forever ruin Its cause and Tiffany and-, Stuart would have to go. The com Pany virtually acknowledged tha Incom petency of these men when : the notice' was posted. Were they, capable of filling - the positions "on the Toad, the company Would solicit patronage. But it does not want to see any lives lost at the present time,, and therefore makes a pitiful ap peal for the publlo not to run chances of sacrificing life and limb by going out on a car that Tiffany runs and for which Stuart Issues' dispatches. The strikers nd the company agree upon one point, vis.,, that Tiffany and Stuart are incom petent '.:. P. M. Ashmore, the non-union man who failed to sever his. connections with the company, is playing in hard luck. He gets a square meal occasionally, but not so frequently as the majority of work ingmen. In fact, it is said that he Is not only forced to go hungry while perform ing kia duties, but that he Is also obliged to go without lodging. Bis headquarters are at Mllwaukle and the boarding and lodging houses do not love him a little bit They are so impolite to him as to call him a "scab'! and they give him to understand that his money is not good enough to purchase the accom modations which the average- mortal craves after the faithful performance of a day's labor. Recently a crowd of boys" and men, not strikers, met him at SeUwood and called him a scab. : It is said that he drew a pistol and threatened to shoot anyone who repeated the detested word. -He then ran with his car to Mllwaukle and the crowd .followed. Meeting him there It Is said that the crowd would have done him bodily injury had not Mr. Rinkle,' the boss carpenter at that place, ran to , NORTHWEST, NEWS. KALISPELL, Mont.-J. F.

The cars are doing no more business than they did yesterday; .and the business oft the com pany la going from bad to worse. - , . It Is reported that the company is mak ing preparations to import men here from California and the East, but this does not seem to be worrying the strik ers. In: the recent strike at Ban' Fran cisco, men could not be 'obtained at any price' to take the place of the strikers, and It la believed that such an effort here will also prove a failure. It Is also argued by the strikers that Mllwaukle being the headquarters of the company the new men would be com pelled to locate there. Then the citizens of Mllwaukle would again take, a firm stand and refuse to give them food and shelter. So this plan will not work they argue. . Tiffany was offering men on the City ft Buburan JJne' as. high as 15 a day this rooming to take outTars' on his line, but the alluring offer, failed to have the de sired effect The City ft Suburban men gave him to understand that they are well satisfied where they arc The strikers are doing a big business With the, boats which they have chartered for th accommodation of the public Three boats are running today, the, Hoo Hoo having" been added to the fleet They expect to have another launch on the run tomorrow.
