Police saved many flooded houses.
The residences on Sixteenth street were
toppled over on their sides. Two resi-
dences on Sixteenth street were toppled

their valuables.
There was no loss of life in San Diego

fled when the dam became unsafe.

Ferris Bill Is Not
IndOrSed By Labor

Portland, Or, Jan. 29.-Wnile the
Oregon Federation of Labor adopted
waterpower resolution in the closing
hours of its session yesterday, it failed
to sanction a motion that body mem
orialize congress to enact the Ferris
bill now pending on this subject.
Delegate LOwrence had made the mo-
tion to memorialize. 1t was apparent
that there was latent opposition and
tne matter was sent over to the after
noon session for further consideration.
However, nothing more was heard of
the matter. 1t is suspected that de-
bate on this proposition would have
aroused antagonism and it was
dropped.
The convention doubled the amount
of its per-capitA tax on the unions af-
filiated with it, and referred it to a
vote of the various unions for ratifica-
tion. 1t was the purpose of some in the
body to push the increase through
without referendum, but Delegate Me
Kenzie headed this off by moving the
referendum. Dbate was sharp and gen
eral over the proposition.
Heretofore the tax was one and a
half cents for each member of every
union affiliated with the federation.
Hereafter it will ,nree cents a month,
/ if the referendum is successful. The plan
is to raise $4,000 during the current
year, so as to finance the "people s
( land and loan bill " for the election in
November. That is the single tax meas
ure, which the federation, against the
iudqment Of some, farmers particularly
is advocating.
Salem Next Meeting Place.
Salem was recommended to the in
coming executive board of the fedora
tion as the next place for holding the
convention. This was done just before
final adjournment of the session las
night. Under the constitution of tn,
body, all officers are nominated ON thu

SoUTHPAWS BATTLE cUBS-SoX
HAVE BIG JOB

BY Mark Shields
Southpawing the Cubs out of their
pennant dreams is one Of the best
things the opposing teams are doing
at the present time. The Braves,
who finish their visit today, furnish
a fine example. In three games with
the locals Manager Stallings has sent
as many soUthpaws to the hill. And
in the three games the Cubs totaled
trio of runs, one for each nine in
nings.
They did count one victory because
Gene Packard was so good he stop
ped the Braves with one hit and no
runs. But George Mcconnell saw
his good work nulIified and Vaughn
and Seaton found the job too heavy
yesterday.
Tinker has two good hitters who
swing from the right side of the plate
and should be effective against the
Offside beavers. They are Mann and
Tim. MuIligan is not a hitter and
Zeider and Knabe are not consistent
ly strong on attack. Williams, Safer,

from the left side and are handicap
ped when facing the pOrtsiders.
And from these five men Tinker
expects the greater portion of his
run total
Failing to get a new man for the
shortstOp job, Tinker is doing the
best with> what is at hand and is
shifting in an effort to find a hole
proof combination. His latest is to
put Knabe at second and Zeider at
short. This worked fairly well yes
terday and will be continued so long
as Mccarthy is out Of the game.
MUIIigan should be a star. He has
youth, speed, courage, but lacks ex-
perience and the smiles Of fortune.
