Basketball League Meeting.

The Oregon Basketball League
representatives will meet in Salem,
Saturday, to arrange the schedule Of
games for the coming season. The
Telegram's sporting editor says:
eff the U. A. G. and the state
university enter the league this year,
it is probable the teams will be
divided into three circuits, which will
play for local championships and the
winners play for the state champion
ship. That is only a proposed plan
for there is no assurance that either
the university or the Agricultural
College wants to get in"

Copenhagen.

The new colonial law for the
Danish West Indies went into effect
a week ago last Monday. The colonial
council was dissolved through the gov
ernor's proclamation and a new coun-
ell was elected. The old military
guard and police corps were complete
ly broken up and gendarme corps
established in their place. The toll Oh
imports was raised from 3 to per
cent and the entire customs depart
ment was consolidated with the post
office department. Prince Christian,
who is paying a visit to the islands
is now at ST. Thomas and will later
on this summer pay visit to the Uni
ted States.
The king of Siam is at present on
his way to Europe and one of the first
cities he will visit will be Copenhagen,
where he will be the guest of King
Frederick. He departed from Bang
cock March q. Elaborate prepare
tons for his reception are under way
at the royal palace in Copenhagen.
Among other notables who will visit
the Danish capital during the coming
summer are the queen of England and
King George of Greece, the sister and
brother of the Danish king.

New Bill In Eddy Suit.
The original plaintiffs, or next
friends" in the Mrs. Eddy suit have
filed supplemental bill in equity ask
ing that the three trustees to whom
Mrs. Eddy some time ago gave the
management of her estate be added to
the list of defendants ON the ground
that they are working for the same
ends as the original defendants-that
lis, that they are unduly influencing
Mrs. Eddy and managing her property
to their own ends. This is in answer
to the motion recently made by the
original defendants that the three trus-
tees be substituted for the next
friends in the prosecution of the case
The supplemental bill also asks that
the deed of trust be vacated on the
ground that Mrs. Eddy was not COM
petent to execute it and was q device
contrived by the defendants to defeat
the purpose of the original suit The
Judge issued an order for the defend
ants to appear in court to make answer
to the petition on April Is.

THE TROUBLE Al
WONDER IS SETTLED

The miners at Wonder who demand
ed So for an eight hour day have re-
turned to work, all trouble having
been amicably settled. In referring
to the trouble at the camp Assembly
man Fitzpatrick, of Wonder, said:
Eve granted a uniform scale of S.
a day for common labor, and we
thought that was reasonable. | doubt
if there is another camp or town in the
country where the minimum wage is
So for common laborers. OF course
the cost for living is slightly higher,
but a man there ought to live for $50
a month. That leaves him a hundred
a month over.
81 think a demand of So a day is
somewhat excessive. The men have
agreed to work awhile for the old
scale. 1t was because of the scarcity
of labor there that they struck on rs.
We canno get labor in Wonder. Ev-
erybody wants to prospect. There is
plenty of work and teamsters and ev-
erybody else is getting 50 a day.

CONSTABLE ARRESTED
FOR ExTToRTION

ELKO, New, March 30.-Constabie
Ouderkirk of Elko was arrested FIJI
day afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Har-
ris on a warrant sworn out by Helen
Brown, a Chinatown woman, charging
him with the crime of extortion. The
complainant charges that on the 18th
of March Constable Ouderkirk de-
manded 81 Of Gertrude Bryan, one OF
Helen Browns girls, and upon her re-
fusal to pay the money he threatened
her with personal injury, that is, he
threatened to throw her in jail if he
caught her up town at an unseason-
able hour. 1t is charged that this
threat was made for the purpose of ex-
torting money from Gertrude Bryan.
While the complaint is made by Helen
Brown. it backed up by the affidavit
of Gertrude Bryan. Ouderkirk was re-
leased upon depositing 5000 cash bail
to appear on the order of the court.

St. John, the labor agitator who oc-
casioned much of the trouble at Gold
field. stated just before the balloting
commenced IN the proposition as to
whether or not the miners should hold
meet ngs separate from the /. w. w,
that if it carried he would leave the
state. A mine operator is qpoted as
saying that he had never had any
ser Gus trouble with his miners; that
when any difference arose he was al
ways willing to discuss the matter
with them and had never found any
difficulty in reaching an agreement,
but he would be damned before he
would permit the ~dishwashers to step
in and dictate to both himself and
his men. There you have the ssitua-
ton and can readily see that nothing
but friction. uDadjustable and unend-
ing, could ever result from a iuxtapo-
sition of men holding these two ideas.
There is, therefore, but one solution
To the problem, and that is to wipe out

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Railroad Surprise Tests"

1t is but a few years since American
railroads began systematically the use
of surprise tests" These more or less
directly grew out of an accident that
occurred on one of the largest systems
of the middle west. To test the opera
tions Of their signals some officials
went out one night and, leaving sig
nal set ut 'clear," simply removed the
light. They watched ten or twelve
trains 20 by, and not one engineer
stopped To inquire what was the trou-
bic. us the rules demand. This same
road reports that in 1906 900 surprise
tests were made without one resulting
In failure. The figures are a little
staggering. Human nature is not usu-
ally so inerrant. But what Is certain
Is that accidents on this line have been
very materially reduced. The Pennsyl-
vania has had an almost Identical eX-
perlence, and very recently the officials
of the Lake Shore saw twenty-four
out of twenty-five trains 20 10y sig
nal purposcly set with flights out"
Yet when the New York Central sys-
tenn began these surprise tests they
were threatened with strille.-Carl

The Uses Of Wood.

Almost instinctively one thinks of
the drain on forests as being due to
the demand for lumber in the large
sense-fOr materials for buildings and
fences and furniture. In point of fact
much of the drain Is due to seemingly
little things. Fine ladders take the fir,
last-blocks sweep away the rock ma
pie. paper pulp mills have taken the
poplar and spruce, pencils require red
cedar, and spools consume the white
birch. One little regarded industry
makes enormous drains upon the white
pine, especially In New England. That
Is the manufacture of packing boxes.
In the six New England states alone
there are 344 box factories. Last year
they used up more than 100000 feet
of boards, four-ffths of which were
white pine. The regrettable thing about
It ia that the wood Is put to such ephem-
eral use. After the packing case has
been used once its ordinary fate is the
fire. One cannot help wondering why
manufacturers do not devise some sort
of a permanent cQllapsible packing
case which after use can he returned
