CROPS LOOK GOOD.
T. G. Montgomery Returns From
Trip Along w. & c. r.. Lines.

T. G. Montgomery returned to town
this morning after having been out
along the line of the w. & c. r. for
the purpose of turning over the ware
houses of the Puget Sound Warehouse
company to his brother, j. E. Mont
gomery, who is to succeed him as
Umatilla county manager for the
company. While away he took care
full look at the crop conditions along
the line and reports the outlook to
be good.
THE wheat, both spring and fall
sown, is showing up well considering
everything" said he this afternoon. l
have seen the fields heavier than they
are now, but in view of the long cold
weather which retarded the growth
during much of the spring, the grain
is certainly doing we'll. If the weather
conditions are only right from now on
there is no reason why the farmers
along the w. G. c. R. and other parts
of the county also for that matter,
should not have a good average yield
this year."
1t was Mr.. Montgomerys intention
to leave the Puget Sound company's
service today and commence tomor-
row upon his duties with the Pendle-
ton Savings bank. However, 1t will
be Monday or later before he can gel
his affairs with the company closed

This afternoon preliminary nego-

aged the "Oldtimers' at their first

he can get a bunch together that will

Unless a local ball game can be ar
ranged for Sunday there will be moth

two weeks without a game. In view
of this fact 1t is very probable that a
game will be scheduled with Manager

GEO. D. BRIGGS
WOULD RESERVE
SEATS IN PARK

Chairman Luther of the police commits
sioners is wondering IL one George ID.
Briggs expects that a policeman shall be
ware park with a badge on mis- sleeve
bearing the word "usher," whose sole
duty It shall be to provide seats in the
park for women and children.
Chairman Luther is in receipt of a letter
from the aforesaid George ID. Briggs, who
follows his signature with the words
Radical Club" and the address 80 Doyle
avenue, requesting that the seats in the
park be reserved for women and children
between the hours OF a. m. and p. m.
In his letter Mr.. Briggs does not refer
to having a policeman detailed at tie
lark, but Commissioner Luther would like
to know who is going TO reserve the
seats, or any seat. should many or one be
occupied by man.
Would Mr.. Briggs leave the small mat
ter OF securing or preserving seat for
himself or to any woman who might
wish II and demand IL in sort of wo-
mans rights sort OF way, or does he think
the natural gallantry OF man will prompt
him to give up his seat as he does in
street carr
The letter also neglects TO foresee that
some man who pays heavy taxes toward
supporting the park and who may happen
to be sitting in the park enjoying a siesta
may object seriously TO being deprived OF
his comfort. Perhaps men will be ex-
pected to lug along a chair from their
own homes
But the thing In the communication that
interests Chairman Luther the most is
the request, or demand, to make new
condition that will demand special work
for the police and thus weaken the regu-
lar work of the force, when the depart
mont already has more than 1t can pro-
perly attend to- and which has compelled
the commissioners to prepare resolu-
tion to the city council to provide for
larger police force.
The letter OF Mr.. Briggs is but one OF
many of similar requests that come al
most daily TO the commissioners. ana
which If granted would not leave police
man on his beat.

tract with the Providence Telephone

branches OF the city council has ap-
proved. :,

Further than this the mayor would
not state.
Those who have watched his course
since the telephone franchise has been
pending have observed that he was
deeply interested, as he has always
been in matters involving contracts
with the city. and they believed that
unless he was fully satisfied that a
better bargain could not be made with
the Providence Telephone company
than the majority of the committee
on telephones had recommended and
the city council had accepted he would
1nterpose a veto.

CLAIMED 1T J. c.
HALL PLANT

All the union men in the press room OF
the j. C. Hall company. who do business
on Sabin street. were informed last eve
ming by one of the managers that they
had TO do one OF two things. either give
up their union OF their job. After hasty
consideration the men refused to give UP
the union.
The men say it is virtually a lockout.
Mr.. KLAUS. manager of the company.
refused to be interviewed In connection
with his action in discharging his press
men. BY labor men familiar with local
and international conditions in the print
ing trades. the lockout is ascribed to an
intention to anticipate what may be a
general strike of pressmen, threatened
now because of action taken at the con-
vention OF the Pressmen's union at Brigh-
ton Beach.
At the convention in 1906 the pressmen
voted to enforce a demand for the eight
hour day, by strike, If necessary on May
], 1907. President Higgins OF the Inter-
national union, was given power to nego-
tiate with master printers and particu-
larly the Typothetae of America, the most
considerable and powerful organization
of masters at that time. although now the
new Printers league promises to surpass
IL.
President Higgins signed contract
calling for nine hours until January. 1902.
when the eight-hour day was again the
subject of negotiations, and the open
contract aroused storm OF Indignation.
At the convention last week the pressmel
retired President Higgins by an over
whelming vote, and also adopted resolu-
tions in substance providing for ratifca-
tion OF the contract with the typothetae,
provided the eight-hour day were granted
at once and the open shop clause stricken
out. In the event OF refusal on the part
of the typothetae to concede the changes,
a referendum on the question OF enforcing,
the eight-hour day is To be taken within
80 days. In the words OF a prominent
officer OF another printing trades union,
with these changes. there is nothing 20
the contract except the preamble and the
signatures.
The ]. c. Hall company is considered
by most men TO have acted In anticipation
with the idea OF precipitating strike
and draw the fire Of the pressmen.

PRINCIPAL HALL

FOR DISMISSAL

II. j. Hall, whose dismissal as principal
Of the Edgewood grammar school, where

was the result of his striving to enforce
the school laws concerning attendance
and vaccination. His services closed with
the graduation held last evening. and he
puts his failure of reelection up to Fred
i. Horton, member OF the school COM
mittee from Edgewood, declaring that the
only reason he could assign for his dis
unissal was that he incurred the dspleas-
ure of Mr.. Horton.
MIR. Horton denied that the dismissal
had arisen from any animus on his part.
IL came, Mr. Horton said, as the result
OF a statement made to him by Mr.. Hall
to the effect that the principal did not
feel at all in sympathy with the school
committee or superintendent Valentine
Almy, so that the committee, at a meet
ing last month, decided to drop Mr.. Hall,
