NOW AT HIGH FREIGHT RUINOUS. California Slilpicrs Argue Thus With out Moving, Their Masters. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18. Pro testing that the proposed Increase In tariffs ou California products will be ruinous to a majority of commercial firms of the state, representatives ot the Bh!piers appeared today In the office of H A. Jones, freight traffic manager of the Southern Pacific, to gether with Edward Chambers, as sistant traffic manager of the Santa Fe road. Several leading shippers were closeted with the railway offi cials during the morning but-declar ed after leaving the railroad men that there was. no Indication of yielding on the part of the railroad officials and other means must be taken by the shippers to safeguard their inter ests. What measures will be taken have not as yet been announced. It is rumored that there is under consid eration a move on the part of certnin shippers to enjoin the' roads In the courts front raising the rates on their particular commodities. This, how ever, Is recognized as an Involved and unsatisfactory method of bringing about what they call fair rates I. S. Littlefleld, on behalf of the W. P. Fuller Paint Co., and William C. Lowenthal, of the Paraffine Paint Qo., protested against an advance on linseed oil that would mean a higher tariff than on the raw products. They claim that they represent nearly a dozen paint firms throughout the state which ship annually 100,000 barrels or linseed oil. Lowenthal in formed the railroad men that the proposed discrimination of the road in requiring minimum shipments of 36,000 pounds, as against 30,000 from eastern shippers, would make It Impossible for them to meet eastern competition. The shippers were unable to obtain any satisfaction from the railroad of ficials but believe that the roads' an nouncement of their tariff schedules will be made next Saturday.

A well-known rnncher of Northern Montana, was yesterday mistaken for a deer by Ills brother, Leland II. Taylor, nnd killed. The two men were hunting nenr Troy and became separated, Leland heard th hushes rustle and thinking It wns a deer, fired. Ilellevlng that ho had bond issue with which to finance the proposed Rltchey Creek municipal gravity system, comes an injunction filed today ngnlnst that body by rep resentntive citizens of Eugene, who seek to enjoin the council from pro ceeding with tile project to construct a power plant on the McKenzie river and to restrain the defendants, Mayor J. I). Matlock, and w. T. Campbell, It. M. Day, W. I. Chcwhlre and P. D. Newell, from "irctendiiig to act afl a Hoard of Water Commissioners for the City of Eugene."

Osborn and T. O. Hend ricks, cnpllnllsts, and prominent bust nn men of the city. This is a culmination of expres sions of dissatisfaction with the city administration over methods pursued on the water question. The city all along has been for municipal owner ship of the water system and recently took over the local plant under $300,000 bond Issue voted previous to proposals for the f uOO.OWO Itltchey Creek gravity scheme, which was vot ed down. Objection Ib now raised against se curing a ilfiO.000 power pumping system from the Vl'per McKenzie without first deciding whether the city should get its water supply from deep wells or other sources. There Ib also objection to paying Engineer Kelsey 1250 a monlh for his services Recently the mayor appointed Water Hoard, with membership cov ering termB of one to five years. This was unsatisfactory and the citizens invoked a referendum holding up the appointment until the city election In April, when It la proposed to adopt a new charter after the lies Moines nlan and establish a new order or things In municipal government. In the meantime many citizens want all further action concerning the power plant and Water Hoard deferred un til that time.
