NEWS NOTES OF OREGON COUNTRY INITIATIVE ELECTIONS DELAYED Work Started on the Forest (Jrove I'ertland Electric Itallioad Han Dohertj Convicted Portland Oregon will have no more taute of the initiative or of the referendum for two long years and five months. On matters of stato wldo importance it will be the first Tuesday after the first Monday In No vember, 1910, before ;he people of the state will be called to vote again on the merits of measures coming from the people or submitted to them from the legislature. Incidentally, In case the referendum Is invoked on any action of the legislature of 1909, It will not he possible for the people of the state to puss upon the queslion before November, 1910, thus holding up the matter for five months longer than usual, owing to the abolition of the general election on the first Mon day of June. The constitutional amendment adopted by the people at the last elec tion, changing the time for holding general elections from June to No vember, has tacked on five additional months to the space of time before which the next initiative or referen dum business can be done. The amendment does away with the gen eral election of June, 1910, postpon ing the voting day to November. Depository at Portland.

ROOSEVELT IS DOMINANTFACTOR RULES REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Interstate Commerce I'ommissloa Or ddrs Rfdiirtlon In Rates on Hardwood to Coast Points Chicago, June 15. President Roosevelt Is running this convention from the White House by long-distance telephone and other availablo Instruments ot ready and Instant communication. He Is the boss. The convention will do nothing that it thinks may be In the slightest de gree objectionable to him, and It Is In humor to do cheerfully and prompt ly everything that he favors. Take the case of the Vice-President. It is reported that the President has given ont an intimation that the Vice-President must be either Sena tor Dolllver or Governor Cummins, his chief political rival. Thus Iowa will get rid ot one or the other of its chief factional disturbers and the troubles of that turbulent common wealth will be composed. The draft of the Republican plat form made by Attorney-General ' Wade Ellis, of Ohio, and approved by President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, Is now In the possession of the prospective members of the commit tee on resolutions and will In all probability be adopted by the com mittee on resolutions with but slight changes. The platform contains a most em phatic Indorsement of the Roosevelt administration and Its policies. It contains planks on the subjects of trusts, railroads, Injunctions and currency. It declares for revision of the tariff by the next congress on the lines of the Ohio platform. .The antl-lnjunctlon plank of the platform as passed upon In Washing ton is as follows: "We declare tor such an amend ment of the statutes ot procedure In the Federal courts with respect to the use ot the writ of Injunction aa will, on the one hand, prevent the summary Issue of such orders with out proper consideration, and on the other will preserve undiminished the power ot the courts to enforce their process, to the end that justice-may be done at all times and to all par ties." Labor leaders are urging the adop tion of this plank, while employers are opposing It. At the personal request of Secre tary Taft, Senator Fulton was slated for chairman of committee on cre dentials at the Republican National Convention. GIVEN HOPE TO LUMBERMEN. Orders Reduction in Old Rate on Hnnlwood From Chicago to Coast. Washington, D. C, June 15. In a decision rendered today by the Inter state Commerce Commission, hope Is held out that Pacific Coast lumber cases, now pending, will be decided In favor of the lumbermen, and in vent the decision is ot that charac ter, the commission will allow the lumbermen full recompense for the excessive rates they have paid since filing their complaint. Today's decision bore on the rate on hardwood lumber shipped from Chicago territory to the Pacific Coast, the commission holding that while hardwood from Chicago to the Pacific Coast should undoubtedly pay a higher rate than softwood from the Pacific Coast to Chicago territory, yet at the same time the old rate of 85 cents on hardwood lumber Is ex cessive and that rate was ordered reduced to 75 cents. The commission further held that: "When the shipper has paid an ex cessive rate he may recover as rep aration the difference between the rote paid and what would have been a reasonable rate at tbe time, even though he may not ultimately be damaged by payment of the higher rate." But reparation was allowed In this case only from date of filing the complaint A subscription nas been circulate, among Glendale's citizens to raise funds for a reward for the conviction of the person who attempted to blow up tbe Auditorium at that place re cently. Over $1400 has already been subscribed. No clew has been dis covered.
