Lewis and Clark Club.

Several OF The enterprising ladies of
Toledo met at the home of Mrs. &. r.
Schenck last Saturday and organized
Lewis x Clark Woman's Club. The
following officers were elected: Pres.
ident, Rose NJ. Schenck; first vice
president, Ella l.. Scarth second vice
president, Ella Jones; secretary, Jennie
E. Arnold; treasurer, Maybel Bethers.
Mesdames Jones, Schenck and Arnold
were also chosen as delegates to
the convention of Lewis & Clark Won.
ans clubs held at Portland Wednesday.
These clubs have been organized in the
principal cities of every county in tho
state-or will be organized. Their OBJ
lecl is to work for the interest Of their
respective counties at the Lewis & Clark
Fair at Portland in 1905. 1t is unneces.
sary to state that Lincoln county will
be properly represented and our varied
and valua BILE resources attractiyeiy
displayed to the world-7that is, to the
extent of the jurisdiction of the local
Womans Club.
Speaking of the Lewis and Clark
Fair-there seemsfo be no doubt that
the appropriatian therefor by the late
legislature meets with the approval of
large majority of the citizens of Or
egon. However, petitions to have the
question settled through the medium
OF the referendum law are being cir
culated in every county in the state.
and Lincoln county will furnish it's
quota of dissenters. At this date it
seems safe to predict that. should the
necessary per cent of the voters at
tach their signatures to the petition.
the act of the legislature will be sus-
tanned at the polls and the opponents
OF the measure will have only the
questionable distinction of having
piled up neat little expense bill due
to the election. But this is their
blessed American privilege. The ref.
erendum law for which the people
clamored gives them that right. On
the great majority of important me as.
ures which become law per cent OF
the voters of the country may be en-
pected to stand in opposition. We still
believe the principle of the referendum
law is sound, but the per cent of Pc
titioners should be raised. We believe
few years experience will prove this
in Oregon.
The next meeting Of the club will Le

afternoon, June 3.

the situation looked serious for short
time. Word was sent to the Fifth Street

were but a few men there. Inspector
McCuskey was called up and sent a
force OF l25 detectives and sergeants TO
the scene When the Italians saw the
bIuecoats coming they lost their nerve
and melted away.
The trouble was started by the wives
of the striking Italians, who thought

police guards in the disturbed district

MONT PELEE FUND
GOES FOR HOSPITAL
Chancellor BOeufyeSucceeds
in His EndeaYOrs.
THIRTY FAVORABLE REPLIES
Of Washington Contributors Three Pre-
ferred to See Money Applied to
Local Charities.
THIRTY FAVORABLE REPLIES

Thirty favorable responses and only
three in the negative have been re-
ceived to date by Chancellor Jules
Bceufve, Of the French embassy, in
reply to his requests to the Mont Pelee
fund contributors of a year ago that
they designate the new French Hospital
in New York as the beneficiary of the
LEexpended balance of the fund. The
alternative proposition was advanced by
President Roosevelt. and was that the
money should be sent to Governor Taft
or relieving distress in the Philippines
Washington Their Choice.
An interesting fact in connection with
Mr.. Boeufve's canvass of the fund con-
tributors, was that the three individ-
uals who did not approve of the plan
were prominent Washington business
men. Their declination was based IN
the ground that the balance Of their
contributions could be used to greater
advantage in Washington. The unanim-
nifty of opinion. therefore. in favor of
the French hospital, is regarded as
great tribute to the prompt and effec-
tive work of Mr.. Boeufve.
The diplomatist was somewhat reticent
today about making any comment upon
his own part OF the work He raodestly
gave to one of his Washingtons friends
the credit for suggesting the plan.
NJ Boeufve's Statement.
