Than they were called oft and put ender salary whether they worked or not, til obejct being to force alt master plum ; bers to Join the association. Many of the Journeymen were not working for anyone at the time, and this arrangement leaves them In the lurch.

'jfohn Everson, Alblna avenue and River Street, repairs: ISO, A Johnson, Clackamas and Benton, re- also a flagrant wrong, they say, to give these men weakly salaries when they are not working. This money, they claim, comes from funds? Whioh are not only contributed by the association but also by the union and as they are members of the organisation they' believe that they ought to have something to say about their disbursement " The men talk some about applying for a charter and organising a separate union, but It Is hardly probable that this will be done. In fact, it is said, that it would be an unusual proceeding, if not an unconstitutional one, to pursue such a course. It Is doubtful whether a charter would be granted as long as a similar union is In existence in the same town. There is certainly strong dissatisfaction expressed by no small per oent of the journeymen plumbers against the combine effected by the association and the union, and the sentiment may become so strong in the near future asB to play havoc with the parties to the transaction. None ot the independent master plumbers have been forced into the association as yet, and they say they never will., The public is speaking of the combine as the "Plumbers' trust," and by the ex travagant prices being charged tor plum bing recently,, fully realise that they are footing the bills as a result of the quarrel. Reading Clerk: J. W. Strange. " After the general order of business was attended to a committee was appointed to draft appropriate resolutions of con dolence en the death of J. J, Daley, P. O. N, w.

Schilling Went to South America. r Sailed From New York When Disappearance Was Published. ' When Victor A. Schilling, the city ticket agent of the Harriman lines, dl apeared. The Journal published the var ious rumors, as to where he might have gone. One rjumor had it that be was on the way to Vladivostok k, and others had him in Central America, and some in South America. - From some, unknown source, a rumor Is in circulation today that the missing Schilling has gone to South America, it will be remembered that after Schilling landed at Spokane he suddenly dlsap peared from view. He was known to have made a reservation of a berth on the Great Northern train to Seattle. There never was absolute proof that he occupied the berth. Now comes the story that he took the Spokane Falls & Northern into British Columbia It is the theory that he caught the train and eventually made his awy to the Canadian Pacific. Furthermore, it is now believed that he made his way over that line to the East and finally reached New York. From there he went, it is said, by vessel, to some Bouth American pert about the time his disap pearance was published here. Schilling' knowledge of the Spanish language would stand him in good stead. One man goes so far as to state that while Mr. Shelby, the , father-in-law of the missing Schilling, went Blast re cently to attend a gathering of express agents, that he may have met his son- in-law, though this is most Improba ble. - Mr. Schilling may yet be heard from again.

An alarm from box tS brought the East Side fire department to a fire in a dwell ing house, 627 East Ninth street. South, occupied by Hans Olsen. Before the de partment arrived Mr. Olsen climbed up on ths root and chopped away the burn ing portion.. Smouldering sparks of the fire which destroyed the Uadlson-atreet bridge and several other Institutions some weeks ago started up yesterday in a large sawdust pile (a front af the old' East Side Lumber Company's mill, and for a time it looked as if there would be a repetition of the former disaster. The flames were reach ing rather high and were fanned by a strong wind When 'Engine Company No. 7 was called out. After a great deal of hard . work the - fire was finally extin guished. .... . . . Plan to Enlarge Mills. Business la so good that the directors of the Portland Woolen Mills at Belt wood have about decided to considerably enlarge their plant. . As was mentioned several months ago In The Journal, Pres ident W. P. Olds of the woolen mills said the Institution would In a very short time have to enlarge the plant, around which over 200 men will be employed. At that time there was also some talk on the part of the woolen mills owners about erecting a clothing factory, thus saving the railway freight to and from the East on manufactured clothing.

Harbormaster Biglin Will Make Them Toe : the Line. A vigorous administration Is promised by Ben BIglln,1 appointed Harbor Master of the City of Portland by Mayor Will lams. Mr. Biglin has already undertaken to correct . the sailor abuses, and has an nounced his intention to carry out the city ordinances relating to the duties of a Harbor Master in a way hitherto un attempted, Yesterday he served personal notice on the two sailor boarding-house firms ot this cityMessrs. Grant & Sullivan, on the West Side, and "Mysterious" Billy Smith and the White partners, on the East Side, to cease enticing any more seamen to leave their ships, and Ho con form to the law on the subject. When the sailor boarding house mas ters were notified that they would have to desist from enticing seamen , front leaving vessels In port they denied that they had been guilty ot such practices They contend that the sailors leave the Ships of their own free will. . Mr- Biglin will try a new scheme for enforcing the laws. Instead of making arrests frequently and failing to prose cute, as has been done many times In the past he will undertake to board every vessel that comes in and see that the sailors are not tampered with. Other law ordinances that the new Har bor Master will enforce are: To see that vessels are anchored her low the Alblna ferry, on the west side of the main ship channel; the vessels to be moored with bow anchor out for ward, and stream anchor out astern to prevent ' the vessel from swinging across the channel; they must not be aaohored within 400 feet of any bridge or ferry line. Tow boats coming up the river at night time have frequently had to veer out of, their course to avoid colliding with some vessel Improperly , moored. ; : All square rigged vessels while ' laying rtoq!jf$teMnyi &ock. must 'havs "their ioiewSjiior suspended ready for Sfflprar; thetr lower yards braced noon their 'MaloriSbraoes.

Ballast or any material taken out of a ship shalt not be thrown Into the Will amette liver. ... i : . . Workln fn conjunction with the City Health Officer, all Vessels will be required to keep their decks clean when in port. A close watch will be kept on the fiver front to see that no farbae Is thrown In the river. Adyantag es Park and Ladd's Held I for Exposition Site. EASIEST The tracks of the Oregon Water Power & Railroad Company are stand ard gauge and now connect with tracks of" the Southern Pacific and the O, R. & N. Company., The first named company has agreed to switch all cars free of cost tor exhibitors In and out Of the grounds, therefore no engineer.: lng or construction or expense will be connected with placing of cars fn the grounds or taking; them therefrom. The City tc. Suburban tracks are now within one block on the north of the proposed site, and within two blocks' on the west thereof by direct line f via Morrison-street bridge., f The Oregon Water Power & Railway tracks run through the center ot the proposed site by a direct line via Madison-street bridge; either of the' above named street-car lines can reach the grounds from Third and Mor- -f rlson orMflrst and Alder In six minutes, so that'll cars on each line would f give on-ninute service each way. The Portland Railway Company can reach the grounds via the Burnslde- -f street bridge with direct line in 10 minutes, or can transfer to cars of Or- -f. egon Water Power A Railway Company at First and Washington strest . LANDS ALL XjEVEL AND CLEARED. . With the exception of the park proper.;aU of the grounds are level; all cars could be switched In and out without the necessity of using any hoist- -f lng apparatus or transfer to other means of conveyance. All people walk Ing to the grounds can do so on a level grade-no climbing, will be usees- sary. All teams with building, material or local exhibits can reach grounds on easy grades, also all classes of vehicles with passengers can do the sama SEWERAGE. J The large Sunnyslde sewer runs down Hawthorns avenue, from Four teenth to Ninth street, and north on Ninth street through the grounds. There Is also a connecting, sewer on East Twelfth street, and one on East Madison street from Seventh to Ninth, so that any building constructed -f in tne grounds can be connected with with a sewer In the street In front of It FIRE PROTECTION. There Is a 12-Inch main on East Twelfth street and also a large main on Hawthorne avenue; then the lagoons will hold many mUllon gallons of water, and a fire engine stationed on the bank can reach any of the build ings. The engine house In Stephens' Addition and the one at Union avenue and East Oak street are within a few minutes ot the grounds; and, further, the engines on the west side of the river could reach this site quicker than arty other. It is, therefore, easy to see that this site will furnish tar better firs protection than any other, and this is an important matter, both to the Exposition management and the exhibitors as well. -f This is the only site proposed where one lagoon Is already made and no excavation for the other Is necessary, and where they can be supplied .with pure water without expense or the tapping of the city mains therefor. And they will not have to be of the tin-Dan order. ' PERMANENT BUILDING.' This location being In the center of the city, a permanent building would be of greater value there, to the people generally, than at any other place. A block tor this purpose has been donated, and the cltisens of ths Central East Side having no publlo buildings or parks, naturally feel that they are entitled to particular consideration on that account - PURCHASE OF PARK UNNECESSAHT. The free use of these grounds is tendered whether the, park If pur chased or not and a block for a permanent building will also be donated. The park is offered at a reasonable figure In case the city should see fit to purchase It, but this Is not necessary In order to have the Exposition located there. FINANCIALLY. These grounds could be so easily reached that the gate receipts would undoubtedly be much Urged than at other places suggested. And the build ings could be erected, the grounds beautified and exhibits Installed at far less expense than at any other place. No elevators, moving sidewalks, ele vated roadways or expensive streets or grading would be necessary. A FINE VIBJW. The only poinjt urged against this location is the view. When we have a view of our scenery from Portland Heights, the City Park, Willamette Heights, from every bridge crossed, from nearly every front yard and back yard In the city, from the Portland merce and oter high buildings, why Is it necessary to cut down the gate -f -f receipts to get it and Increase the expense of construction and installation of exhibits therefor? The largest attendance will always be at night and then there is no view of scenery, anyway. This site has been Indorsed by -f the East Side Improvement Association, the Stephens, Clinton Kelly, -f Brooklyn and Montavtlla Sub-Boards of Trade, and by a mass meeting of t f the citizens of Mount Tabor.
