Southern Pacific Notified That Train
men Would Arbitrate.
San Francisco ~ Officials of the
Southern Pacific company have been
informed of the desire of the trainmen
of Western roads for meeting to ar
bitrate their demands for an increase
of wages. The meeting will likely be
held in Chicago about the middle of
December.
The Southern Pacific employs about
1,500 conductors and 5000 brakemen.
The demand will be for an average in
crease of 10 per cent. The contro-
versy of the fremen was settled recent
ly at meeting in San Francisco.
The engineers of the Western roads
are now polling the men in their or
ganization throughout the West as to
whether general strike will be called.
Union officials have informed the rail
road company that an answer as to the
strike problem would be given at Chi
cago on December IL.

Storm Cuts Off London.

Berlin-Heavy snow storms have
ushered in winter throughout Northern
Germany. Snow has been falling
here, but it was of soft variety and
left the streets deep in slush. Tele-
phone and telegraph wires are down to
north and also those communicating
with Bremen. Direct telegraphic con-
nection with England is interrupted
and the Bourse was able to communi-
cate with London only by means of tel
ephone by way of France.

Get Data on Freight.

Marshfeld-The farmers and timber
owners Of the east and north forks of
the Coquille river have appointed M.
]. Krantz and j. N. Gearhart a COM
mittee to gather data regarding the
amount of traffic that is dependent up
on river transportation to be marketed
and to secure estimates of the amount
of traffic that would be forthcoming
should the government improve the
river so that boats could be conven-
iently piled upon these courses. The
gathering of the figures is the result
of the visit of two representatives of
the government engineering depart
ment, F. E. Leefe and James E. Kelly,
who visited that portion of the county
to ascertain the needs of the locality in
the line of waterways.

OLD STEAMER WRECKED.
Historic Portland Beating to Pieces
on Alaskan Coast.

Cordova, Alaska - Lying at the
mouth of the Katalla river, with an
unobstructed sweep of the ocean beat
ing in upon her, the steamer Port
land, Captain Frank Moore, of the
Alaska Coast company line, seems
doomed to be added to the already long
list of vessels that have been wrecked
along the treacherous Alaska coast.
Creeping through the inky darkness,
made worse by binding snow storm,
the vessel struck an uncharted rock
rock off Martin island at o'clock in
the morning.
The heavy jar when the vessel
ground upon the rock brought the pas
sengers to the deck in their night
clothes, but the excellent discipline of
the officers and crew soon restored or
der. The pumpsswere. set to work, but
the thrush of the water was too great,
and Captain Moore headed the vessel
for the Katalla river, where she was
beached at high tide with calm sea.
The passengers were landed in the
ships boats without harm.
Launches from Katalla were soon
alongside and took off the mail, ex-
press and baggage.
Captain Moore thought he could
make temporary repairs at low tide.
is now being directed to
save freight on barges. The main
boiler is out of commission and the
hold of the vessel is filled with water.
The steamer Alameda, now off Cape
St. Elias, has been ordered to the
scene of the wreck to lend assistance
if possible, but heavy swells are be-
ginning to come in and it is believed
.he vessel will pound to pieces.

Demand for Teachers Great.

University of Oregon, Eugene The
teachers bureau of the university can
not begin to supply the demand for
high school teachers in Oregon. Some
thing like fifty requests for high school
teachers during this last year could not
even be considered. This was in spite
of the fact that the largest class in
the history of the university was grad
uated in June, ninety-six members,
and that of these, thirty-four were i'm
mediately placed in the state high
schools.
The greatest demand made upon the
bureau was for high school principals
who had already had some experience
in teaching. In fact, the demand al
ways is for teachers with experience.
Many request were received for men
teachers who could combine teaching
with ability to coach atheletic teams
and take charge of physical training
in the high schools.
