MOVEMENT
A SUCCESS
ROAD HOUSES NEAR PORTLAND
AGREE TO CONDUCT THEIR
HOUSES WITHIN THE LAW,
AND COME TO GOVERNORS
TERMS.

Governor West announced that If
necessary he would return to Port
land to continue his military opera
tions against the roadhouses of Multi
nomah and Clackamas counties, but
since all of the roadhouse proprie-
tors had called at General Finzer's
Office before noon yesterday and come
to the governors terms, it appears
that this will not be done.
A. ]. Burns, proprietor of the Mil
waukie Tavern, and Rath and San
dys, proprietors Of the Cliff Inn,
signed the agreement Monday night
to conduct their places in an orderly
manner, this being the only quick
method afforded them of raising the
military ban that the governor had
placed upon them. F. c. Loveland,
OF the New Country club; Leith and
Anderson, of the Claremont; f. Retz-
niger, Of the Lakeview Tavern and
WIS. Swaggert, of the Hut, visited
the generals Office yesterday fore
noon and also put their signatures to
the agreement.
"They were all agreed in saying
that they were glad they now had
something definite by which they
could tell just what their privileges
are and what they must avoid, said
General FINER yesterday.
Unless the agreements are broken,
no military patrol will be established
at the roadhouses, although the gov
ernor declares that he will keep a
close watch upon them and will de-
scend again upon them at the first
indication of a disinclination to abide
by the agreement.
A meeting will be held here by the
governor with brewers Of the state
this week to arrange for stopping the
shipment of liquors into dry terri
tory The governor has declared
that he will invoke the militia to put
stop to this also, unless a more
peaceable arrangement can be af-
fected.
The total cost of the raid upon the
roadhouses Monday has not yet been
fully estimated. Fifty militiamen
and their officers were taken to Mil
waukie, and 10 privates, two SER
eeants, two corporals, a lieutenant
end a captain we're stationed there
throughout the day. A squad Of pri-
Yates accompanied the governors
party in an automobile on the ad-
yence along the Linnton road.
The daily salary Of captain is
$G.67, Of a lieutenant $3.50, sergeant
$i.6O. corporal $14O, and private
Sl25. In addition TO this Is the cost
Of transportation and additional ex-
penses Of litigation.
Not all Of the officers Of the Ore
gon National Guard were in sympa-
thy with the movement, a large pro-
portion Of them holding that the ac-
ticn Of the governor took the militia
out of the sphere OF action for which
it was prperly organized.

from the great Barnum a cablegram
offering 100000 for the youngster.
Barnum knew how much Bailey
owed, and he was sure that the offer
of 100000 would be snapped up so
fast that even a quick.action kodak
would be unable to get picture of
Bailey's movements.
But it happened that Barnum was
dealing with Bailey, and Bailey, as
observed before, was not an ordinary
man. -. ...
When the Barnum offer came he
figured that an elephant that was
worth 100000 to Barnum ought ia
be worth the same TO Bailey.
So he simply got out huge posters
containing Barnum's offer in fac,
smile, which he was inconsiderate
enough to plaster up right alongside
the posters of the immortal fooler OF
the American public. -..
Not only did he do this. but he ar
ranged his schedule so that his shows
appeared in the same towns az Bar
NUNS, and on the same dates.
Posters advertising The Elephant
for which Barnum Offered 100000
were plastered everywhere.
What could poor Barnum do but
make Bailey his partner the following
season? And that's the story of the
linked names: Barnum & Bailey.

District No. 13 of the United Mine

Wednesday or Thursday OF this week
and continuing in session for ten
days, probably. w. H. Rogers of AL.
bia is the president Of the association.
One hundred and twenty-five to 175
delegates are expected to arrive.
None OF the officers was in yesterday
afternoon who could give any definite
data as to the opening of the sessions.
1t is hoped to start the convention on
Wednesday, however.
March 81 a meeting will be held
with the operators to discuss the
wage scale. This meeting is consd-
cred so important the miners will ad.
journ their regular sessions II they
are not already finished to take up the
matter of the scale.
The meeting will be held on the
day following the national convention,
TO be held at Cleveland on March 20.
In this national session of the oper-
ators and miners a policy will be
traced which the local miners and
operators will follow out in their
negotiations.
The Elliott hotel probably will be
the headquarters OF the officers of the
district. Mr.. Rogers is expected to
arrive from Abba today and the other
officers are expected to follow.
Aside from the conference with the
operators there is little to be dis
cussed outside of routine business,
according to the advice from some
of the local officers. The matter of
the conference with the operators in
the endeavor to satisfactorily adjust
the wage scale will be the most i'm.
portant action to be taken up.
