FREIGHT AGENT ON STAND
R. B. Miller Testifies In De'ense of
Distributive Tariffs Complained
Against by Portland Jobbers,
explains Road's System.
After a tentative dpfen.se of the dis
tributive rates out of Portland over the
O. R. & N. lines had consumed the morn
ing session of the State Railway Com
mlsMon yesterday, an adjournment was
taken. Not until data bearing on the
volume of the company's freight business
In Oregon have been secured will the
bearing of the shippers' appeal for lower
distributive rates out of Portland be re
dumed. In the meantime, the Commis
sion announced that it would visit the of
fice of Auditor Blaisdcll. of the company,
and see Just what of the company's
financial books.he keeps or does not keep.
The hearing will be renewed when the
figures are ready and upon five days'
notice being given all parties concerned.
It was agreed that the delay shall not
be longer than necessary and that the
matter shall not drag along through six
months or a year.
But one witness was presented on behalf
of the company. This was R. B. Miller,
the company's general freight agent, who
made a detailed defense of the rates and
essayed to explain in answer to queries
by W. W. Cotton, attorney for the com
pany, why the present tariffs are main
tained.. Preceding the calling of this wit
ness, Mr. Cotton made a statement of
the company's attitude, submitting the
various tariff sheets In effect over the
line, and declaring that the rates for 170
miles out of Portland are lower than be
tween any corresponding points in the
Pacific Northwest on all classes of freight
where the rate is not modified by water
competition.
How Rates Are Made.
The rates beyond 170 miles are made,
he said, by taking the Washington dis
tance tariffs, applied by the Railway
Commission of that state, and making
them up in the same rate of progression
aa due to water competition. If this was
rot done the tariffs to Baker City, Pen
dleton and such points would be higher
than at present, he asserted.
When placed on the stand Mr. Miller
was asked what would be the effect of
reducing the distributive rates out of
Portland. He said the effect would not
be beneficial to local jobbers, or remove
Spokane's prestige in the Eastern Ore
gon Held, since the reduction would have
to be met by the Canadian Pacific, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific into Spo
kane territory. Continuing, he explained
that the systam of freight rates is sim
ilar to the nerves of the body, and that
any change would require readjustments
of the interdependent parts. A change
here would cause endless confusion and
necessitate readjustment throughout the
Pacific Northwest.
Mr. Teal referred to the readjustment
out of Spokane under the dictation of the
Washington Commission, and wanted to
know if the O. R. & N. did not then an
nounce a new tariff. The witness ad
mitted that such had been the case and
that his company had made its changes
to meet the new condition.
"No earthquakes followed that, did
they?" was Mr. Teal's caustic query, and
the witness admitted that none had oc
curred. Taking up the cross-examination of the
"witness, Mr. Teal wanted to know why
paints and oils in carload lots go to Spo
kane, a distance of 421 miles, for 40 cents,
while the charge to Boise, 437 miles, is
95 cents.
Question of Courtesy.
After considerable study Mr. Miller at
tributed this to the conditions of com
petition and to an unwillingness to cut
the rates charged by the Oregon Short
Line, as a competing line. He spoke of
the courtesy that prevails among rail
roads and their lack of any desire to
"bump" one another.
"Why Is it," was the next question,
"Hhat to Boise the rate Is 95 cents for
497 miles while over the Southern Pacific,
on the same mterials, the charge is but
81 rents for 816 miles?"
"Rates from the Coast to Utah com
mon points," was the reply, "are on the
basis of 70 per cent of the rates from the
Missouri River. That applies to Ore
gon as well as to Callfori.ia."
An effort was then made to learn the
basis of local rate making. . r. Teal
wanted to know what was the original
basis of rates. In reply the witness said
that when originally formulated, after
the reorganization of 1S96, the rates were
based on the conditions of competition
that then obtained. They have been
changed to meet new conditions. The first
competition was mainly by water and that
bad to be taken Into consideration,
"If there had been no competition what
would have been the basis?" Mr. Teal
inquired, lne witness gave it up. He
denied that the cost of the road, the
revenues or the investments made have
anything to do with the fixing of rates.
OPERATORS WORKING AGAIN
Full Crews at Keys In the Western
Union and 1'ostal Offices.
A full crew of operators were at work
last night in the Western Union Tele
graph Company's local office, and the
management of the office is experiencing
no difficulty either in sending or receiv
ing messages. For the first time since
the strike, an operator was at work last
night in The Oregonian office, and today
men will be sent to the other newspaper
offices.
A number of the men who wore mem
bers of the union and went out on strike
last August are now back at work.
At the Postal Telegraph Company's
office, too, there were enough men to
handle all the work. The management
of the office was forced to turn one man
away yesterday afternoon, having no
work for him.
The Western Union will move Its local
office from the structure at Third and
Stark streets, to the Worcester Block,
at Third and Oak streets, in about three
weeks. The business office will be sit
uated at the corner of Third and Oak
streets, and the operators' office on the
fifth floor of the building. A system of
pneumatic tubes has been arranged to
communicate between the two offices.
Many Rumors About Vaudeville War
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Rumors of an
agreement between rival vaudeville
fsctions, Keith & Proctor and Klaw &
Erlanger, were thick along- Broadway
lastyiight. One report was that after a
certain date, to be decided In the near
ture. Klaw & Erlanger would retire
from the vaudeville field. Another report
was that 'a merger of the vaudeville
interests of the country, involv
ing at least J25.000.ono capital, had
been effected, and that the merger was
a victory for Klaw & Erlanger.
A. W. Murdock, president of the
Western Vaudeville Managers' Associ
ation, who has been in New York for
several dnys for the express purpose
of bringing about an agreement, wt en
seen at the Holland House denied that
there had been any final settlement.
ADDING TO BANKS' BURDEN
Suggestion That the Clearing-House
Certificates Bear Interest.
PORTLAND. Nov. 7. (To the Editor.)
It has been stated through the press that
people generally are accepting from tne
hanks the Clearing-House certificates m
lieu of eaBh, without protest. This Is prob
ably due In many instances to the fact that
men and women, who have deposits in the
local banks, subject to check.- prefer the
Clearing-House certificates to no money at
all. but I am inclined to believe that many
people, who receive these Clearing-House
certificates are eager to convert mem into
coin, and In order to do this, they go to
the store, make a small purchase, present
their certificates in payment, ana receive
rash In exchange. This cash readily finds a
hiding place, and Is lost as a circulating
medium.
If this policy is persisted in by any num
ber of people, which I believe it will Be,
the ultimate result will be to make ready
rash exceedingly scarce, and the Clearing-
NEW OFFICERS
A. N. Wills, President.
tVith a new set of officers, the Sellwood Board of Trade has started out on the new year. These officers are: Presi
dent, Councilman A. X. Wills; vice-president, , L. J. Hicks; secretary and treasurer, John W. Campbell. A strong: exec
utive committee will be announced at the meeting next Monday night and several standing committees will then be. ap
pointed. The Sellwood Board of Trade was organized March 15. 1001, with 17 members. D. M. Donaugh was president; Pro
fessor E. D. Curtis, vice-president; E. C. Madden, secretary; R. Chapman, assistant secretary, and J. W. Campbell,
treasurer. It has been a factor in the growth of that suburb. It Is now working for the construction of a sewer sys
tem for the suburb, the erection of another schoolhouse. or annex, and the location of the car manufacturing plant which
the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company may build m Portland. For the present meetings will be held every
Monday night in Strahlman's Hall on Spokane avenue, near Thirteenth street, between 7:30 and 0 o'clock. There
are 200 members on the roll, and the organization Is endeavoring to secure the co-operation of every citizen In Sellwood.
House certificates will be our only medium
of exchange.
To obviate this result it occurs to me thai,
if these Clearing-House certificates were
made to bear interest at-the rate or o pe
cent per annum they would be much de
sired and eagerly sought after by many
people, and hundreds of thousands of dol
lars now locked up in the vaults or the city
and in other hiding places would be in
vested In these securities, which wouia,
under these circumstances, probably go at a
premium. Furthermore this would only be
fair to the depositors, who for the sake of
the common welfare are accepting these
certificates in lieu of cash. Inasmuch as
the banks undoubtedly have the depositor
money loaned out at Interest bearing not
less than or 8 per cent.
. It Is orobably a low estimate to say that
these Clearing-House certificates will be
Issued to the amount of $40,000,000. The
banks of this city have the people's money,
upon which they are drawing Interest to tne
amount of not less than $00,000,000. The
Interest on these 40.0OO,OO0. Clearing-House
certificates from date of- issue until the flrsi
of February, 1008, the date of their ma
turity, approximately three months, wouia
amount to $tJ00,0OO.
Inasmuch as the banks have money
loaned out at not less than 7 or 8 er cent
I can see no good reason why they should
not divide the interest they receive upon
this money with the desosltors. who are
the owners of the money. This matter ia
one 'which I think worthy of a fair consid
eration of not only the depositors and busi
neFS men of the city, but of the banks as
well. OGLESBY YOUNG.

Glowing Success Attends Carnival of
NEVER before has Oak street society
gone In for anything with such zest,
such unrestrained enthusiasm, as in
the Oak-street horse show. The .equine is
king! Let the financial situation take
care of Itself. Oak street would not pause
now if even the fashionable Milwaukie
faro banks, where the elect do most of
their banking, should close doors. It Is
horseflesh that holds the interest: that
is. horseflesh and dry goods combined,
the first being the inspiration for the last.
It Is becoming a common thing for the
elect to whinney in their sleep, while
oats and hay have been added to the
regular menu at the Cameron and other
fashionable hotels.
The Heathen Chinee building on Second
street Is the scene of this Impressive
event, and no such imposing spectacle has
ever been beheld outside a cflmic opera
than that which graced the spacious en
closure of the handsomely appointed
structure last night. Society was out In
gala attire, some of the costumes being
actually bewildering in their gorgeous
beauty. The gentlemen all appeared In
conventional attire and the gay costumes
of the ladles added a medley of rich
coloring, to the superb picture. No mat
ter what extremes were necesary. nov
elty and beauty of attire were affected
by the' fair sex and strictest observance
of convention by gentlemen. In many Oak.r
street homes the unexpected cold weather
caused some inconvenience last night,
owing to the removal of sections of
stovepipes for wear by the gentlemen
of the family. But that was trifling as
compared with the satisfaction that ac
crued to all in having fulfilled the dic
tates of Fashion. Greatest resource was
shown in many instances by the fair sex.
As an instance, one prominent matron
was at her wit's end for a suitable hat.
Owing to the bank holidays her imme
diate private fortune was not available
for making a desirable purchase, and the
massive household fixtures, excepting
beds and a gas jet, had been conveyed
to the establishment of an uncle for safe
keeping during the financial panic. Alter

confidence in the natural wealth of Ore
gon and Its sufficiency to meet any and
all exigencies that may arise, the pub
lic has renewed the full volume of trade,
and business men throughout the city say
t-hey are suffering no ill effects from the
money shortage of the past ten days.
The public and business interests alike
have adapted themselves to the clearing-house
certificates, and they are being
accepted on every . hand the same as
gold, sliver or treasury notes. The de
partment stores are accepting them, the
railroads are accepting them, business
hotises throughout the city are taking
them. The man with a clearing-house
certificate for J20 can make a 5-cent pur
chase and get his change, in gold and
silver without a question." Big double
eagles are taken no more eagerly than
this emergency paper.
A canvass of the business houses of the
city would make the most confirmed pes
simist reform his unseasoned views.
Slack business? None of the big houses
of the city has heard of any such thing,
especially since the clearing-house cer
tificate solution of the money stringency
was adopted. Material Increases In the
volume of business over prosperous last
year are reported by not a few leading
business men. Possibly there was a slight
falling off the first day or two of the
difficulty. Not all the business houses
noted even so much as a day of dullness.
But any tendency towards sluggish trade
was quickly dispelled, indicating the full
confidence of the public In the outcome.
Here are a number of statements of rep
resentative business men secured in a
round of the business center yesterday
afternoon:
Better Than L,ast Year.

spiration, repaired to her aviary, wrung
the necks of two fine Plymouth Rock
roosters, arranged them in a couple of
green fir branches, intertwined with Ore
gon grape, covered the whole device with
a few yards of purple netting, fastened
the arrangement in her hair and her
striking headgear was the talk and envy
of all society. "
The day passed off without unpleasant
Incident. Late in the afternoon a report
became current that Mrs. Jaggs, wife of
Mr. Jaggs, had met with a serious acci
dent which had severed her completely
In twain. This report, happily enough,
proved to be the result of an optical il
lusion and was totally without founda
tion. Mrs. Jaggs, it appears, was merely
out in the new stays dictated by fashion;
and so effectively had the lady adjusted
them that at a distance there really -did
seem to be a hiatus between the upper
and lower portions of her imposing pres
ence. It was a near-sighted person, no
doubt, that started the unfounded report
of her fatal accident. Mrs. Jaggs was
merely fortunate in having acquired an
effect which so many society ladles aspirt
to and so few achieve. It is only fair
to say, however, that she was ably as
sisted in her achievement by Mr. Jaggs,
the well-known athlete, who has suc
cessfully participated in so many tug-of-war
events. Mrs. Jaggs, of course, was
able to benefit by his experience in that
respect. Mr. Jaggs, by the way, has
again shown himself a strict observer
of fashion's ways by adopting the ultra
fashionable Pittsburg stogie. In the
past he has been noted for his fine brands
of perfectos, but like all conscientious
husbands of finely-gowned ladies, he has
adopted the stogie. It is one of the fine
points of etiquette, but must be followed
by those who expect to be counted
among the elect.
The gowns throughout were gorgeous.
Miss Gaudy Spangles, the well-known
comic opera queen, was permitted in the
arena, although not a member of the
smart set. She at once fell In a dead
faint at the dazzling spectacle. An am
bulance was summoned and ih was
gree and has shown a most satisfactory
increase over the same period last year.
The circulation of clearing-house cer- j
tincates nas tenaea to relieve, uib enuti- j
tion to a greater extent man was at nrsi
believed possible, for the public has
adapted itself very nicely to the new or
der of things, which indicates the utmost
faith In the stability of the market at the
present time. Of course the lack of coin
is somewhat disconcerting, but the peo
ple and the business houses are rapidly
being educated to the clearing-house plan,
which indicates public confldenc- In the
temporary paper substitute for money. I
believe the present stringency will be re
lieved in the very near future. (
Still Extending Business.
I. Gevurtz, of I. Gevurtx & Sons. I am
convinced that the situation la all right,
and that the present Jnconveniences will
soon pass away. Portland Is a splendid
business town, and I have so much faith
In the future of this city that I am
going ahead with the establishment of
our East Side branch 'In spite of the
money stringency. The clearing-house
certificates are a good thing, and today
I secured a quantity of them for use In
our business. Our customers have not
been at all skeptical about this new money
and have grasped the situation nicely.
Of course some of them are not spend
ing as much money as they would under
ordinary circumstances, but when they be
come accustomed to the change, ma
terial difference will undoubtedly be no
ticed. This year we have branched out
largely, and as a result have tripled our
business, which speaks well for the sta
bility of the country. I am not at all

not help righting themselves before long.
Must Educate Public.
Adoplh Wolfe, of Lipman, Wolfe & Co.
The clearing-house certificate plan is a
pew thing, and whenever a new policy is
adopted the people have to ie educated
td it, which requires time. So far our
experience with this new medium of ex
change has been highly satisfactory, end
we find our customers rapidly becoming
accustomed to the change. In our reg
ular departments business has been more
than flattering and has increased ma
terially over that done In those lines last
year, just as we had anticipated before
the money stringency became apparent,
and we have no cause for complaint. Of
course, persons hitherto purchasing ex
pensive luxuries have curtailed themselves
to a certain extent, but not alarmingly
so, and on the whole we are very well
satisfied with conditions existing under
the' present circumstances, and look for a
speedy readjustment of affairs.
. Only a Trifle Quieter.
Fred Seller, of M. Seller & Company.
Business Is a trifle 'more quiet but the
situation is nevertheless very satisfac
tory. The people seem to take the clearing-house
certificates rationally and so
far as I can determine there is no ma
terial difference between trading now and
trading before the money stringency de
veloped. Collections Are Better.
F. D. Gibbs. of Tull & Gibbs. We are
experiencing fine results from the clearing-bouse
certificate plan. Today's busi
ness was 25 per cent better than yester
day's and from the manner In which our
patrons are showing confidence in the sit
uation we have every reason to believe
that it Is only a question of a few days
hurried to a hospital, where emetics were
applied, but all efforts of the physicians
failed, and at a late hour she breathed
her last without having gained conscious
ness. The funeral will occur after the
bank holidays. Miss Spangles' lawyers
having advised her that interment at this
time might not be legal.
And the horses'. They too were there.
Society strolled leisurely about looking at
the good points of the equines. A favor
ite and fashionable pastime was laying
wagers, odd or even, on the number of
ringbones or spavins on any given ani
mal. This betting continued In vogue all
evening.
"Ain't he th' goods?" one petite de
butante said demurely to her escort, in
dicating a proud steed that was leisurely
picking Its teeth with a hind hoof after
a satisfying repast of rolled oats and
cream.
"Sure, Moike!" said, her smartly-dressed
escort.
And so the conversation continued on
all sides, bright, scintillating, fashiona
ble, appreciative. Prizes were awarded
only n class J last night. T. Mike
Casey's "Little Jo" took the first prize, a
bale of hay. for the greatest nurnber of
spavins, having 18 nicely developed spec
imens and 12 more In embryo. J. Kid
Smith's "Keno" carried away the ring
bone award, while "Four-'leven-forty-four"
and "Faro," owned by O. Chauncey
Kidder, received first and second awards,
respectively. In the heaves class.
While the Oak-street horse show Is
purely for the edification and delectation
of the elect, yet the public at large Is
not excluded. The plebian rabble, how
ever, must content itself In paying the
price of admission and looking on In awe.
For commonplace people who wish to at
tend and are unfamiliar with the re
quirements of decent convention, the
committee in charge announces the fol
lowing attire as proper for gentlemen:
Two joints of polished stovepipe to be
worn on the head, frock coat of black;
gray, green or yellow material, reaching
to the ankles; light trousers, shoes, a
shirt, collar and cuffs may also be worn
if desired.

HOUSE IN TREETOP
A farmer living in Wrentham,
Mass., a small village near '
Providence. R. I., has built a
house In the tops of two ad
joining pine trees on his farm
and will spend the Winter
there. The jnan is 35 years old
and has been consumptive for
several years.
The "house" Is about 9x6,
with a door and two windows,
which will be closed only to
keep out snow and rain. Access
is had by means of a rope lad
der which, Robinson Crusoe
like, will be drawn up each
night.
Medicine is not of much use
to cure consumption. Fresh air
and clean living are the essen
tial forces to combat the dread
white scourge. Every precau
tion should be employed to pre
vent the germs from settling on
the lungs, and coughs and colds
should not be neglected. To
break up a cold quickly and
cure any cough that is curable,
mix a half ounce Virgin Oil of
Pine with two ounces of
glycerine and a half pint of
good whisky. Shake well and
take a teaspoonful every four
hours. Five ounces of tincture
Cinchona compound can be used
Instead of whisky with the
same effect.
This mixture will usually
break . up a cold over night.
Care should be exercised to use
only the genuine Virgin Oil of
Pine, which . Is prepared in the

pared with last year we are doing just
as much business as in November, 1906,
if not somewhat more, for our collections
today are larger than they were one year
ago today.
Notice Xo Difference.
Ira F. Powers, of the Powers Furniture
Company. With the exception of the first
two days we have not noticed any dif
ference in the situation. , Business has
been even better than last year and our
receipts have shown a most flattering
state of affairs. The clearing-house cer
tificates do not seem to affect the situa
tion to any extent. We have been ac
cepting them just the same as ' if they
were bank notes. One drawback is that
there - are no clearing-house certificates
of the smaller denominations, and It is
sometimes Inconvenient to make change:
otherwise the situation is splendid and
deserving of the utmost confidence.
Pulse of Trade Strong. '
Julius Meier, of the Meier & Frank
Company We have noticed no difference
In the volume of trade, particularly since
the clearing-house certificate system was
arranged. The general pulse of trade is
strong and the demand for goods is as
brisk as ever. - It speaks well for the
confidence the public at large has In the
ultimate outcome of the situation, as to
which there can be no doubt. The pub
lis is rapidly adapting Itself to the cer
tificate idea and such being the case,
the business interests can hardly suffer
from a harmless money tangle that will
presently dissolve in the face of an ex
ceedingly healthy condition of business.
Railroads Accept Tliem.
At the general .offices of the Harriman
lines in Oregon' it was said yesterday
that clearing-house certificates are re
ceived in payment for both passenger
tickets and freight bills. It was also
said that funds received in the various
departments are deposited in local banks
so that certificates are just as acceptable
as other currency. Certificates were used
in settling the last payroll and no. com
plaints were heard from any of the office
force of difficulty in having them ac
cepted by merchants.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Rev. Robert
Paddock, who was chosen at the Episco
palian convention held in Richmond, Va.,
recently, for the post of missionary bishop
in the mining camps and cattle ranches of
Eastern Oregon, in announcing his ac
