Portland Motormen Organize.

Portland, May 14.-Motormen and
conductors in the employ of the Port
land Railway company and the Ore
gon Water Power company are quietly
organizing into a union. Perhaps half
of the 500 men on the Portland Rail-
way company's lines have signed and
organizers who are at work have
hopes OF unionizing, practically the
whole working force of the city lines.
Carmen are reticent about the organ
ization and its purposes, but 1t is sup
posed that in case the recent petitions
for an advance in wages are disre-
gardcd by the company that the union
will attempt to tie up the system.
Officials of the company will not dis
cuss the situation.

Washington, May 14.-Attorney
General Moody had a lengthy confer
ence with the president this morning
regarding the Tillman-Chandler
charges.
Tillman today said:
"Aldrich proposed to Bailey and
myself that we permit him and the
element he represents to get the credit
for an effective rate bill and thus shut
out the president from any credit. He
said he had him and his crowd whip
ped Aldrich was willing for us to
pass the bill provided only we would
allow him and his crowd to get the
credit and not the president. We re-
fused the proposition"

FOR SHERIFF
w. A. BANNISTER LIKELY
TO BE MADE THE CANDIDATE.
Law Enforcement League Committee
Has Failed to Get an Expression
From Either Taylor or So,nmer-
vile That Satisfies Their Require
ments-Biographica Sketch of the
Man Who VIII Stand for the
Leagues Demands.

1t is now almost certain that W. A.
Bannister of Milton, will be placed
in nomination as an independent law
enforcement candidate for the office
of sheriff.
The law enforcement committee of
the county, which has been given full
authority in the matter, has decided
that it will be advisable to place Mr..
Bannister on the ticket since neither
Mr.. Taylor nor Mr.. Sommerville will
express themselves on the subject.
The law enforcement sentiment has
spread over the county until there is
a demand in every part of the county
for some definite action on part of
the officials. Gambling is constantly
run wide open in different smaller
towns in open defiance of the law and
the law-breakers are encouraged in
their work because of the fact that
people have no cooperation from the
officials in checking law-breaking.
Mr.. Bannister, who is to be nomi-
mated. has been a resident of UNA
come from Ray county, Mo-, to this
city in 1884. He lived in Stage Gulch
until 1886, when he removed to Mil
ton, where he has since resided con-
tinuously. He has been a member OF
the Milton city council since 1887.
He has been engaged in carpenter
ing and contracting, and has taken an
active part in the reform movement
which has resulted so beneficially for
Milton, bringing a large school popu-
lation to that city and supplying the
city with a municipal light plant
which is paying from 10 to 12 per cent
dividends for the city after paying all
running expenses and allowing for de-
probation Of plant.
He has never sought office, but II
he accepts the nomination for sheriff,
will make an active canvass, with
strong assurances of assistance from
members of all parties.

Senators Knox, Spooner and Foraker.
Senator Lodge, continuing, said he
had gone to the official stenographer
and obtained the exact sentence used
by Senator Tillman and called up the
White House on the telephone, that
being the most rapid way of reaching
the president.

Lumber Famine Threatens.

San Francisco, May 14.-Although
the lumber mills at Humboldt are
working "a hours a day, employing
three shifts OF men, there will shortly
be a lumber famine in this city in the
opinion OF millmen and builders. Lo-
cal sales OF lumber are now more than
double that of consignments to this
city. and the consumption is increas-
ing daily. The fleet of small lumber
schooners is hardly adequate for the
regular coast trade and Is unable to
relieve the situation.
1t is feared that unless new timber
lands are Immediately developed and
the output of existing mills tripled,
that frame buildings operations here
will quickly come to n stop.

legislation in regard to the ranging OF
outside sheep in Oregon territory Is

ment from the democratic legislative

will deem it our duty so to do.
Second. That we have already az
members of the legislature some Of US
voted and worked to secure the pas
sage of certain bills which were IN
tended to very materially assist the
stockgrower in eastern Oregon by the
massage of what is known as house
bill No. 1856, creating a per capita tax
on sheep coming from other states.
That this matter as well know Is IN
the courts, and we hope that 1t Will
be decided in your favor; however, IL
| II Is not we will make 1t part or our
duty to endeavor to have passed at
tho next session of the legislature laws
looking toward the quarantine OF
stock coming from outside and not
hermit them in any way to menace
the woolgrowers or stockraisers OF
eastern Oregon.
Third. We will make 1t part or
our duty to introduce and have passed
memorial to congress requesting
their immediate attention to the fact
that Oregon grazing territory should
and must be for Oregon men. ana
that the Umatilla county reservation
which is now such a menace to the
stockmen in crossing, should have
certain we'll established thoroughfares
through II in order that they may
have easy access to and from their
winter range.
Fourth, That any measures that
the IJmatilla county or district WOOL
growers association may prepare for
presentation to the legislature II WITH
In the bounds of reason and not det-
rimental to other portions OF the state
we will without question pledge our
support. ANY
