Several patriotic institutions yester-

employees who desire to enlist as vol
unteers.
The H Dinwoodey Furniture COM

that if they wished to join the army
they would receive half pay during their
absence and be given their positions
again upon their return from the war.
AT Z. c. NJ I.
The directors of T. c. NJ L, at the
suggestion of Hon. Reber J. Grant, de-
cided TO a similar proposition, and that
means great deal, because the NAM
moth institution employs a small army
Of men.
AT $50 p. M the employees were as
sembled and Mr.. Grant addressed them
briefly. He said it was understood that
some of the mer wanted 10 go to the
front, but had held back on account of
their families. The institution wished
to encourage enlistments. and would,
therefore, keep the places of all men
who might volunteer and pay them half
salary during their absence.
The announcement created a good
deal of enthusiasm, and several z. G. NJ.
I. boys will appear for enlistment to-
morrow.

The men employed at the local Ore
gon Short Line offices, depots and
shops will also have their positions re-
tanned until the difficulty with Spain
