(From Saturday's Daily.) " Accordlngto an article in the Pen dleton, Tribune of recent date, the dif ferences between the management of that publication and the printers' union of that city have been amicably ad justed: and all is again serene in that est.THishi.ient. The trouble arose over the management of the paper displac ing two members of the 'union and re placing them with non-union men. Th article referred to follows: r - Tha disagreement between the Print ers", union and'tBe Morning Trmune wa amicably fsettled yesterday after noon and the members of that organ ization who wbre discharged by the proprietors Tfl the f paper Monday morning returned to work with the ex ceptlon of one or two. j i O. W. Howell, district organizer of the International Typographical Union, arrived in the city yesterday, and it was through hts efforts that the mat ters were adjusted so satisfactorily, He believed' that the proprietors were iUHtlned In discharging the -men and that It should not have been tho caue of tho trouble. , 5 i The trouble over the forcmarrshlp was settled, it being agreed tnai in man put In by the proprietors Satur day srtftfll be retained and the scal,e of w a gei which the paper has- been Dayinn was agreed to and a. contract for one year signed. Mr. Howell was very earnest In his efforts to terminate the trouble and It was due principally to his endeavors that the matters were so. nutckly ad justed. He Is certainly a strong union man and believes In the advantages ot organized labor, and was; earnestly supported in his efforts to keep the or ranised Drinters In the right by the members of the union tn Pendleton. While the .policy of the paper was hot adverse to unionism, yet the pro- nrletors felt that they should not be interefered with in the running of their business, and that if they believed they had Just and sufficient cause for dls charging a man they should be allow ed to exercise their rights In the mat ter.

STATESMAN, OUR PORTLAND NEWS LETTER Irrigation Consress and Bar Association to be bn-r tertained BUUTHERN PACIFIC SJfOPS UiT BE CONSOLIDATED WITH O. R e N- AT ALBINA A GLIMPSE OF HOP INDUSTRY THE PORTLAND CHARTER NEW tjj i Ln.7i v. t. ov. 15. nans are aboyt completed for the 4fntertaJnment this coming week of delegates and vis itors to the Oregon Irrigation Associa tion, which meets here Tuesday, "Fol lowing the. Irrigation Association the Oregon Livestock Association will meet, and later the Oregon Bar Asso ciation.- The. merchants and business men of the city have taken advantage of the opportunity ottered to show off Portland to the numerous people who win come, and. have raised $1500 for entertainment purposes. Amontc 'the amusements offered the delegates will oe rree tickets to either of the theaters. free rides in an observation car about the city, an exhibition battery drill t the Armory, the services of the regi mental band, and numerous other di versities. At the convention Addresses will be delivered by Governor Geer. Representative Williamson, Mayor Wil liams, President Devers of the conven tion, I.E. Beach, Seneca Smith, James M. Moore, and others. The railroads have given reduced rates from all parts of he state, and all Indications so far point to the fact that there will be no small crowd here during - Irrigation week. The hotels all report large en gagements of rooms for the week, and thare is hardly a doubt that, all 'avail able accommodations, will ber taken early. ..- V The entertainment committee of the convention has established a visitors' headquarters at the Chamber of Com merce, and every effort will be made to treat all who come in a most hospit able manner during their stay'here. There Is' some talk of the Southern Pacific car shops south of Hell wood being consolidated with the O. R, & N. car shops at Albina. . Railroad offi cials will say nothing delnite on the matter, but recent events make things look as though this may take i.U e. The removal of the hona from Sell-' wood would be quite a blow to that part of town, as there are more than 50 men employed there and the shops are the main support of most of the families about, there. It would of course help Albina, where there are al ready 3&0 men employed In the shops. 1 The removal would be In jtne with the S policy of the llarriman system, which owns both plants, and which has been consolidating in like; cases wherever practicable, - It is hot' likely the Houth ern Pacific shops . would be entirely abandoned, but the Albina shops have such superior - facilities, especially in the lim of locomotive work, that It will be a great advantage Uo do work In the latter place. The Koutherri Pacific re-J cently. had made , plans for extensive buildings and works ut Seliwood, but they recently have been cancelled, and this lends additional color to the rumor that much work will be taken from there. away For the past few weeks there have been stored at different times In Port land warehouses the greater part of this season's hop crop, until a few days a no 20.000 bales, valued at nearly $1,000.- 000, were stored In one warehouse near the river front, and .any one passing -within quite a distance of the building In, when they were stored could smell the. not unpleasant odor given out by them. Already something more than one-fourth of the whole Oregon crop, which is estimated at about 80.000 bales, has passed through Portland.' -To get such a large quantity of hops insured was no easy matter, on account of the fact that companies here maJxe it h rule not to insure one clasv of goods to more than the value of $30,0,- hOOO, and for quite a. while there has been much more than this amount of hops In one bulk. The difficulty in In suring them was overcome, however, by reinsuring In other companies after one company had taken Its' full limit or risk. - . ) . ' : Aa time approaches for 'the assem bling of the Legislature. Portland peo ple have many things to remind them of that proposed charter of which so much haa been heard for a Ions time. and which Is supposed to be a panacea for the many evils and eye-sores, aoch as bad streets,- sidewalks, brt Jffes etc Among other things that will be chang ed by the new charter is the power of different officials. The. principal change will be (n the office of the mayor. Here tofore his power has been limited an1 there have been many other officials and boards that have exercised almotst as it rent, if not greater power. ' The great i number jl appointments the mayor will have under the new charter Is one feature. At present he appoints one police commissioner, one Ore com-n-.issioner, two members of the board of public works, the . superintendent- of streets, harbormaster and health-officers, over whom he has no aathority. except the harbormaster, health officer nd street superintendent. Under the new charter the mayor will preside at all meetings of boards and commis sions, and will have authority, either !irectly or Indirectly, to appoint, nearly every employe tn the city (orerniMnt Among the direct appointments of the mayor will be an executive board of ten ir.embers. which will take th place ot the present police - commission, ; lire commission and board of public works. This executive board will ha the appointing of the employes under these departments, or practically the ap pointment of all the employes f th city.,.; Applicants, of coarse, must pass the civil service examination. Besides this, the mayor has the appointment of a park boartt of four members, a health board -of three members, free library board of six iwnibsw, and a eivU ser- ve commission of lire members. By this It can easily befseen that the pow er lodged In the "mayor Is of no small consequence, in giving its reasons: jor reposing such unlimited power in the mayor, the charter commission' which ; framed the proposed amendment saH j In a prelude to the charter: ( The concentration of aaroimstratlvs WEEKLY OREGON TUESDAY.

Will you bo in tho crowd? 3. poweri In the mayor is now conceded to be- the onlyr proper method of obtain ing efficient and responsible govern ment for a city. As a necessary cor ollary to this proposition, the -mayor must be Invested wijrr the power hot only of appointment, - but cf removal of the heads of alt departments and of members of 4l boards and commis sions. Of course, this open the' door to much abuse of power and makes the mayoralty a plum greedily coveted -by the corrupt politician, but, on the oth er hand. It places pne man squarely before the p ople as responsible or he good or bad government of the cty.and In turn it makes the people responsible for mismanagement if they suffer It to continue more than two rears. Though the danger to the city's best Interests front this formof gov ernment Is great, it Is Infinitely leas than the system of government In prac tice In many cities. Where the fune tiens of government are undertaken, by independent commissions, niderlvlng their authority from a legislature that has but a small Interest In the com munity for which it legislates, Invested with powers of. legislation and admin istration unchecked by augbt save their consciences, with the mayor but' an ornamental figure-head in the mu nicipal system, the people are bound to be dissAtisfted, and the administration of the municipal government to be un satisfactory;' irresponsible , and often tainted with fraud and corruption. tMayot Williams has said recenUy that he has not yet asked any one to serve on any of the commissions or has not even broached the subject to any n , for the reason that the charter hss not yet ben passed upfftn by the leg islature, and any such action by him mould be premature. However, he has made out a list and .has the names of many Individuals In mind. ' As soon as the charter is adopted and before the civil service commission can pass upon the indivtdualsji the mayor will have the appointment of every employe In the city government. This Is -provided for in the charter, which gives the mayor sOch power in emer gencies when boards are noc prepared to make appointments. There will not bany change Thf? mayor will aim? ply appoint temporarily present em ploye In. the rarioof departments,, who wlU4totd the; .positions. until such time as the mayor or boards wish a change. .

Individual enterprise, eo-operaUrig with the Government cannot, within the next ten years, reclaim all tri lands that inay be reclaimer on prier appliances and persistent effort. On the Head waters bf south Crooked river there are thousands of acres that can be reclaimed, and made exceedingly valuable by irrigation. The question of how, and the probable expense Is too great for private enterprise, and the same Js true to the west of Kteins Mountain, and sooth of Harney take. Vast stretches of natural, fertile lands extending from Harney lake almost to the southern boundary of the state would be. If Irrigated, the most valua ble lands In Southeastern Oresjon. Liarge areas are also awaiting the Com ing of capital and enterprise In Kla math county. No tnore productive lands are to be found In all the Eastern country than these lands properly Irri gated.
