GRANT H|NKLE
As TO LABOR

j. Grant Hinkle, one of the re-
publican candidates for the mayor
atty, has a clean labor record, &C.
cording to his statement, and has
the following to say in this regard:
my work has never fallen di.
rectly under the lines of organized
labor, although / have always been
friendly. l was one Of the organ
izers Of the original musician 6
union, and went into that more in
spirit to assist it in it's origin
than because l was going to make
that my profession. Later the
clerks allowed bookkeepers and &C
cOuntants to become members of
the clerks union, and / was a mem.
Der as long as l was in that line of
work.
When l went into business for
myself on a small scale I employed
from two to five men, and although
the upholsterers' union at that
time was disrupted l paid from rs
to so cents day over the last
scale the union had and this can be
verified by men who worked for
me at that time.
When l am asked whether |
favor the wage scale of $2.75 paid
by the city my answer has BEEN
Yes. with wheat at $1.20 and ev-
erything else in proportion as it
is ! favor the employment of
citizens on all public work, taxpay-
ers and married men preferred and
am opposed to aliens of city work
wherever there is single citizen
ready and willing to take the
work"

TRIED TO MAKE BOYS
TURN HOBOES

After persistent efforts of nearly
week to get young boys attend
ing the Mckinley school, River
side avenue between Napa and
Magnolia streets, to leave their
homes and go with him to "his big
ranch in Oregon, w. j. Melon
aid was picked up this morning
by Detective Dial. The capture
was accomplished only few min
utes after the report of the affair
was given the police, and is good
work, since today is Dial's first in
the plain clothes role.
According to statements of boys
with whom Mcdonald talked, he
told them if they. would go with
him, he would take them to Ore
gon. change their names and tattoo
their arms in such manner that
they could not be identified by
their own parents.
He acknowledged that he had no
place to take the boys should they
consent to leave their homes and
said that he had been a morphine
field.

tine earliest possible moment of the
bill for the nonpartisan primary,

house at Olympia, signed by the

that there was the big opposition

COOKS HAVE GRIP
ON CHAMPIONSHIP

Only a remarkable slump on the
part of the Cooks gym team and
improved work on the part of one
of the other teams in the City
basketball league can now rob the
Cook team of the championship for
the season. The pennant was prac-
tically cinched last night when
Cooks defeated the Y. M. C. A. by
a score Of 31-1S. Company l lost
again as usual, Blair taking the
game by a score of 81 to 7. Each
team has two games yet to play,
and should the Y. M. c. A. win
both tie is th9 best it can secure
from Cooks gym.

In one game when Kilroy was at
his best the score was 1 to in the
ninth when, by some chance. the
home team got man on first. Two
men had already paid the penalty
of venturing but a single step of
the initial sack.
The captain dashed into the
coacher's box. Hey, fellers," he
shouted. we've got to have this
game. I'll fine any man who gets
ketched $50"
The base runner stood stock still
on first. The next batter's hit to
right field fence sent the runner to
third. Kilroy made throw or two
to first, and then, wheeling, whip
ped the ball to third and caught the
runner red handed, single step off
the bag.
Does that fine go, cap?" asked
one of the fans in the third base
bleacher seats.
'"You bet it Does" snapped the
leader, and he meant it. too; but
after a nights sleep decided to
overlook the offense, for it was one
of Kilroy's boasts that no base run
ner dare take two steps off a bag
when he was pitching.

The efforts of all club owners to
sign a f1rst-class southpaw pitcher
these days recalls the time when
left handlers occupied the center of
the stage, to the practical exclusion
of the men who handed the ball up
to the batters in the natural way.
Toad" Ramsey, Louisville's ia
nous left handler, was one of the
greatest of the great, but a more
unassuming pitcher never lived.
When with the Colonies, after
pitching three shutout games in a
row, in which his smallest number
of strikeouts for nine innings was
10, the team went to another city.
AS Ramsey asked for his key at
the hotel-this was.21 years ago-a
hangeron said to the big twirler:
Better get plenty of sleep, Toad.
Wen take some of that conceit out
of you tomorrow.
Ramsey dropped his key and
grabbed the man by the throat.
Take that back" he said-and
he meant it-"take. that back, or
I'll choke the life out of you. If l
thought there was one drop of con-
ceit in me I'd cut off my left arm"
1t was the next day that Ramsey
made his record of 10 strike-outs in
nine-inning game.

COMMISSION
ENDS LAbORS
STREET ASSESSMENT AMEND.
MENT AND SCHOOL DISTRICT
TAX AMONG THE CONCLUD.
ING RECOMMENDATIONS.

An amendmtnt to the city char
ter providing for wider scope in
making assessments for certain
street Improvement when the same
benefits more than the Immediately
contiguous property was recon-
mended for submission to the peo-
pie by the charter revision commits
sion last night. An effort was
made to have such improvements
when found to be of a general ben
eft receive aid from the general
treasury but provision was voted
down as setting a dangerous prece-
dent.
Under the proposed plan a two
thirds vote of the city council will
be necessary before an assessment
district can be enlarged beyond the
limits now provided in the regular
assessment plan.
Under the proposed plan an as
sessment district somewhat after
the plan pursued in paying for
sewers can be created. Such prob
lens as the relief of flooded dis
tricts. the opening of new streets
of general utility rather than of To-
cal benefit as in the case of Main
avenue leading into Peaceful Val
ley, and similar matters Of more
than Immediately abutting benefit
can also be taken care of.
Bridges were included in the
amendment as originally drafted by
City Engineer Ralston, but as 1t
was jestingly remarked that this
might lead to the creation of spe-
cial assessment district for the pay
ment of the Monroe street bridge,
the bridges were omitted. Bridges
have always been paid out of the
general treasury.
Il. lnsinger wanted Judge
Huneke, F. II. Walker and John
Gray continued as permanent
committee on street railway fran
chises, to continue their investiga-
tions and report their recommends
d. tons later to the people through
the newspapers or the city council,
but 1t was decided best for the COM
mission to conclude its work with
the submission of the reforms
+ agreed upon.
BY unanimous vote 1t was agreed
that the school district and the
county should hereafter bear the
cost OF street improvements in
front of property controlled by
them. Heretofore these assess
ments have been paid out of the
city treasury.
After the exchange of felicitious
votes of thanks. the lay members
to the councilmen. and the council
men to the laymen, the commission
adjourned.

tain and when the ship they were
on arrived at the little island of
Juan Fernandez, which you can
find on a map of the Pacific ocean,

would like to stay there.
So the ship sailed away without

There were many wild goats on

were also lots of wild cats on the
island. and he was so lonely that he
amused himself by tanning some
and teaching them to dance.

his great joy. Crusoe was seen and
rescued by two English ships.
When he got back to London
everybody was very curious and in
terested in his adventures. and one
great author thought his story was
so wonderful that he wrott a. book
called Robinson Crusoe. which told
all about the sailor and lots OF
other exciting adventures that he
made up out of his own imagina'
