important measures.
The majority at first proposed to
discipline the ten strikers vigorously,
but upon the advice of some of the
cooler tempered leaders, who feared
the political effect of such a move,
opened private negotiations and in
luced the boilers to return.
The original quarrel arose through
an effort of the minority to secure a
recommital of the minority report on
the Payne bill after the Assembly had
adversely disposed of the question.
After the dissatisfied solons left the
hall objections were raised in some
quarters to their receiving their sal
aries while absent, but Auditor Clarke
ruled that they were entitled to pay
even though they did not attend the
sessions.

Strong, whose matrimonial adventure
es have attracted wide attention, is
again in the limelight. This time she
figures as the principal in secret
wedding with a Canadian lumberman,

mer May Yohe came to Portland, liv-
ing under the assumed name of Mrs.
I Fallows, and the subsequent rumor
that she was seeking a divorce. The
child was born September list, and
, Miss Yohe soon left the city.

ence in London music halls. She mar
ried Lord Francis Hope, but soon
went to the Orient, where she met

a former Mayor of New York, whom
she married. Their affairs became an
international scandal. Strong was

Judge WEIGH of San Jose. The letter
tells of a trip made couple of months
ago to the top of Mount Hamilton. the
Judges Rambler was sent to the top
with eight passengers. 1t made the
whole journey on the high, although
the trip was through the snow at
times. 1t was by far easier going up,
for when the return trip was made the
car was not provided with nonskidding
devices and it was slow work all the
way down.
