CLOSELY GUARDED BY POLICE Chief Wappenstein Taking Special Precautions for Taft "8 Safety. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 9. (Special.) Chief of Police Wappenstein Is guarding Secretary Taft as cautiously as ever a visitor to Seattle was protected by tha police force. The War Secretary cannot move without Detective Lee 3arbee be ing at his heels, and wherever a public assemblage is held a dozen detectives and police men in plain clothes are mingling with the crowd. When Secretary Taft goes out in an automobile, Detective Barbee rides on the run board or in the same seat with the. Secretary. When Secretary Taft speaks, a decttve is by his side, and to day when the Secretary of War addressed the King County Republican Club and then hurried to the Grand Opera House for a second speech, policemen and detectives were out by score. The Chief of Police himself was on hand to direct his men. A part of this precautionary movement is due to the fact that Wappenstein knew Taft when the police chief was a police messenger and Taft a lawyer In Cincinnati. The other motive is that Chief Warpenstein Is fearful some crank may appear to at tack the Secretary of War, and he will not take any chances. More than at any time since he came here, his time today was a round of meet ings devoted to politics. Sevretary Taft talked to the King County Republican Club, addressed a public meeting and to night was the guest of the newly organ ized Taft club with 1.400 members. Of personal affairs he said nothing, but in all his speeches crept In something of political matters. Tomorrow the Secretary of War takes up office matters, visiting the army post at Fort Lawton, the Lake Washington Canal that will be placed under his juris diction when completed, and other war department points of interest. On Wednesday, he makes a special trip to Aberdeen. He sails for tha Orient, Thursday. SCOW LOADED WITH PLUNDER Astoria Boatpuller Charged With Theft and Put in Jail. ASTORIA. Or.. Sept. 9. (Special.)

It consisted of pieces of nets, a rifle, shotgun, revolvers, tools of various kinds, anchors, cables, tents. awnings, glassware, etc., that the officers believe were stolen. INVESTIGATE MURDER THEORY Yakima Sheriff Finds Dead Man Feared Harm From Neighbor. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Sept. 9. (Special.) The death of W. W. Phil lips, a rancher of the Naches Valley, is being investigated by Sheriff Edwards. Phillips was suppoea to have com mitted suicide by shooting himself through the head near his home Sun day. Facts have since come to light - which render an Inquiry necessary. Phillips had a feud with a neighbor, and it has transpired that Phillips was much afraid of this man, and had had him watched constantly, believing that the man was awaiting an opportunity to do him an injury. While there Is as yet no evidence of foul play, the fact that Phillips was a man of a very hap py temperament and that he had just come into a nice little fortune of $20,000, makes the suicide theory seem Improbable.

BUYS APPLES AT LA GRANED KANSAS CITY MAN CONTRACTS FOR 60,000 BOXES. Shipment Will Amount to 110 Car loads, Netting Farmers Over $100,000. LA GRANDE. Or.i Sept. 9. (Special.)- Contract for the safe of more than 60.000 boxes of Grande Ronde apples at $1.40 per box has been concluded between E. Z. Carbine, of this county, and C. E. Walker, of Kansas City. Sixty thousand boxes of apples means approximately 110 carloads. Loading of this monster order will begin as soon as the apple picking commences, or, in other words, at once. Because Winter varieties form a large portion of the contract, the order will be filled as the varieties are picked. The Winter grades, of course, demand late picking, consequently the cars will be filled as the crop harvest ad vances. The supply to fill this order comes from Mr. Carbine's own orchard and many of the other growers about the valley, who were willing to dispose of their crop at the high price of $1.40 per box. Ben Davis and Gano constitute the principal varieties. But Mr. Carbine has purchased entire orchards in many in stances and therefore will dispose of many varieties in this order. This sale means cold cash to many a grower, as nearly $100,000 will be realized from the sale. Mr. Carbine is loading five cars of pears at an average price of $1.30 per box. One of these cars is now on the way and the remainder are to be filled this week. ORDERS HIS CREW XOCKED UP Captain Tomassen Has Costly Exper ience With Oriental Sailors. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 9.

' PRESENT SERVICE IS POOR People South of Albany on Southern Pacific Demand Better Schedule, as Do Patrons of O. R. & N. as Far East as Pendleton. SALEM, Or.. Sept. 9. (Special.) Orders were made by the Railroad Commission totiay requiring the Southern Pacific Company to put on a special train out of Roseburg to make the run to Portland whenever northbound overland passenger train No. 12 is two hours behind schedule time of arrival at Roseburg and also to require the O. R. & N. Company to run a passenger train each way daily between Portland and Pendleton, the eastbound train to leave Portland in the morning and the westbound to leave Pendleton in the morning, and requiring the trains to stop at each station, either regularly or by signal, for the accommodation of travel between these and intermediate points. Both of these cases came up for hear ing before the Commission and, upon the Commission's own motion, several weeks were taken to pass upon numerous com plaints that had been entered against the service. Before the hearing of the case against Southern Pacific passenger train No. 12, which had not been running upon time for several months, or rather in an ticipation of the hearing, the company put on an extra train to run out of Port land in the morning as first section of No. 11 and double back from Albany as nrst section of No. 12. and this had the effect of bringing No. 12 through on schedule ever since. The new Pacific type of locomotive was also put upon these runs and the trains have been reg ular ever since, with few exceptions. The Commission, however, does not believe the extra train to Albany and return will give the relief sought to passengers south of Albany, where the traffic is heavy, and believes the special service should extend- as far south as Roseburg, hence the order. The service on the O. R. & N. hearing was the result of numerous complaints charging Inadequacy and lack of proper accommodations to passengers. The Com mission orders in this case that trains No. 7 and 8 be run upon a schedule that will admit of proper . connections being made with trains upon the Columbia Southern, Condon and Heppner branches. This order takes effect 30 days from date of service of the order and the Southern Pacific order within 20 days. PRUNE DRYERS START IN LINN Largest Crop in Years Being Cu-etl for Shipment to Eastern Markets. ALBANY, Or.. Sept. 9. (Special) Prune picking is in full blast in all the orchards of this part of the state and nine dryers are running to their fullest capacity in the vicinity of Albany. The prune crop Is one of the best In years and Laselle Brothers, of this city, will send 150 cars of dried prunes to Eastern markets, the biggest shipment of prunes ever made from the Pacific Northwest. The big packing plant of Iaselle Broth ers In this city began today with a full crew preparing this colossal shipment. This firm now has 14 dryers in operation and the combined product of all these dryers will be shipped from this city, ex cept a few cars from Union County. Most of the prunes will be shipped to New York, but some will go to other Eastern markets and a few cars will be billed from Albany direct to London. The 14 dryers which Laselle Brothers are operating utilize 5.975 bushels of green prunes dallv, which makes about four cars of the dried product. Mne or these dryers are tributary to Albany, six of them being in Linn County and three In Benton. Two of the firm s dryers are at North Yamhill, one at McMinnville and one each at Union and Cove, in Union County. In addition to the product of these dryers, Laselle Brothers will secure a large quantity of the prunes for their big shipment from dryers in the vicinity of Roseburg and Cottage Grove. Prunes are ripening rapidly. Thus far hardly enough pickers have been secured to gather the crop, and the highest wages in years, at least 7 cents per box and in some places 10 cents being paid.

Sept. 9. (Special.) The third racing meet of the Grant County Speed Association concluded last week, was a very successful affair, being the second meet of this year. The races took the place of the Agricultural Asso ciatlon's fair, provided for in a bill passed by the last session of the Legislature, and vetoed by Governor Chamberlain. The vetoed bill was introduced by Sena tor J. A. Laycock, of Grant County, and as drawn would have precluded the use of the appropriation for racing purposes. It is generally understood that Grant's share of the present appropriation, which is used by Baker City, helps to pay rac ing purposes and is not available for use here in payment of premiums on live stock and agricultural exhibits. There Is an adverse feeling toward Governor Chamberlain over this apparently un warranted veto, as Grant County can 111 afford to have its taxes squandered in track events in a distant part of the state. The racing meet will continue for four days more, beginning today at Prairie City. WILL DELAY STREET WORK Oregon City Council Waiting for Final Action on Public Dock. OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 9.

Metzger's spectacles, $1, 343 Wash, at Correct Dress for Ladies and Misses 100 Fall and Winter Suits Formerly $35.00 to $75.00 MEANS HEAVY LOSS Higher Lumber Rates Will Cost State $50,000,000. BASE FIGURES ON REPORTS Millmen Make Canvass of Eastern Markets and Learn That Orders Will at Once Be Curtailed If Rates Go Vp. SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 9. (Special.) If the advance of 10 cents per hundred pounds on lumber and shingle rates from the Pacific Northwest to Eastern markets goes into effect November 1. as an nounced, the Joint loss to Washington lumbermen, the railroads which haul the product and the Eastern retail lumber dealers will be upward of 150,000,000 'an nually, or approximately as much as this year's Washington wheat crop promises to be worth. The rail shipments will drop off 80,000 carloads annually, which, to pro duce, require the services of 32,000 men. The annual loss to the railroads alone In freight charges will be close to J16.000.000, or two-thirds of the entire operating ex penses of the Northern Pacific Railway for the year ending June 30, 1906. These figures are startling, but they are not exaggerated. They are based on ac tual reports made to the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Association by the hundreds of retail lumber dealers in the states east of Washington, who an nounce very plainly how much lumber and shingles they purchase In this state annually and how much they will buy in the event the new rate goes into effect. Means Gain to the East. It may be asked. "Where can they pur chase lumber?" and the answer Is that the lumber production of the United States last year was 37,000.000,000 feet, of which Washington produced 4,300,000,000 feet. The South. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan will profit by the promised mis fortune to the State of Washington. A canvass of lumber dealers In 15 East ern states brought answers from 819 firms. who report they are now purchasing an' nually from the Pacific Coast 24.51 (H cars of lumber, but if rates are advanced they expect to order only 2302Vi cars, a loss in one year of 22,008 cars. These Eastern firms are now buying annually S81'4 cars of shingles from the West. If the new rates are enforced they will pur chase only 22414 cars, a loss of 6720 cars. The foregoing figures represent about one-third of the rail shipments of lum ber products of the State of Washing ton, and If the proportion of losses Is carried out in the two-thirds not heard from, it will mean a total loss of 80,000 carloads annually, which to produce re quire 32,000 men. Eighty thousand carloads would yield to the railroads, at S per ton, the sum of $18,000,000 in freight charges. - Can't ATford to Buy in West. Of the 819 firms reporting. 412 state that the financial loss to them will be $8,550,449, which would indicate a rail road and mill loss of not far from $45, 000.000 annually.
