KLAMATH FALLS. Or., May. 20. ,
Hubert Garrett, who drove the first
stage from Ashland to T.inkville, now
Klamath Falls, and also held the reins ,
on the filial trip between this city
and the railroad, is now planning to ,
be a passenger on the first train that
comes to the local depot. Garrett
began staging to Klamath Fnlls in
1874 and ever since has been con
nected with southern Oregon stag-,
ing. When the last eonrh of the Ore
gon and California Stage company
started for Klamath Fnlls Garrett
was one of the members of the com

REDUCE RATES TO
Railroads Will Accept Spokane De
cision and Make Cut of
15 Per Cent.
CHICAGO, May 20. A new freight
schedule from all the territory east
of the Missouri river to all western
cities not located on the Pacific coast
will go into effect on the transcon
tinental lines July 1.
The new rates will be based upon j
the rates which the interstate Com-
merce Commission ordered the rail-I
roads to put in from St. Paul and ,
Chicago to Spokane and will be an
average reduction under the present '
rates of about 15 per cent.
The railroad has decided to do this
instead of fighting the order of the
Comniissiou in the courts. The de-
vision resulted from a visit of J. C.
Stubhs. traffic director of the Har-jnre
riman lines, lo the Commission in
Washington last week. Conferences
arc being held in Chicago at which
the new tariffs are being prepared,
One 'of the officials who. are at-
fending said :
'The railroads have decided to try
to carry out the principle announced ;
by the Commission in the Spokane
vine ilecisinn. instead of nnnculino to I
the courts to prevent such a reduction
in our revenue.
"The result will be a general reduc-
tion in all rates from the vast tern
tory east of the Misoiiri river to all
I he territory west of the river, save
that along the coast. It will also
mean reduction in many rates from
the west to mnnv eastern points. It
wil be a voluuntry reduction by the
railroads, solely in the hope of sat
isfying public opinion, as in the opin
ion of the country our rates are too
high.
NO LIQUOR WITH MEALS
IN THE CAPITAL CITY
SALEM. Or.. May 20. A measure

ing yesterday to increase the cost of
licenses in hotels from $300 to $400;
in hotels with dining-rooms in con
nection to $1000, and restaurants
from $300 to $400, was lost. ' The
question of allowing
liquor to be
served in restaurants seems now a involving a claim against the gov
dead issue, and there is every pros- eminent for $181,358. which originat
pect that nothing further will be done ed during the civil war, and in effect
with it during the present adminis- allowed the claim of Mrs. Emily E.
tration nt least. Somo weeks ago Parish, executrix of the estate of the
Mayor George F. Rodgers ordered all late J. W. Parish, who, in 1803, ob
sjile doors connecting restaurants taincd a contract to supply the gov
with saloons to be closed, nnd the ernnient with ice.
saloon men have made repeated at- Under tho contract 30.000 tons

GOOD PRICES ARE
ASSURED THIS YEAR
With Return of Prosperous Times,
Consumers Are Again in Posi
tion to Buy Liberally.
PORTLAND, May 20. Pueifie
Coast fruits of all kinds should sell
this year at better prices than were
obtained last year, and the returns
to growers should equal those of the
banner year of 1907. Crops in the
Eastern states and in the middle west
are going to.be very light, according
to tlio best reports. There will not
bo bumper yields in the Pucifio Coast
stales, either, but the unusual cli
matic conditions have not affected
orchards in the west to tho degree
that they have elsewhere.
In addition to this favorable cir
cumstance there is hound to be better
demand because of tho increased pur
chasing power of the people, that has
come with the rovival of prosperity
throughout the country. On this
subjoct the Pacific Rural Press, of
San Francisco, says:
"in the matter of good prices,
fruits are likely to show marked im
provement over last year. Figures
show that the Eastern depression,
which gave us slow and scant buyors
last year for the products which we

must sell at a distance, has disap
peared. Think about diamonds j they
do not sparkle in the gloom. Accord
ing to a telographed report from the
New York customs offioe, the luxur
ies imported into this country dar
ing April indicate a return of pros
perity. During the month dinmonds,
pearls and other precious stones,
aggregating an appraised value of
$2,418,242, wore imported through
New York. This is six times the
quantity imported during the same
month Inst year, and is more by near
ly half a million than the value of tho
precious stones imported during
April, 1007. As the Eastern people
are thus laying in their spring dia
monds freely, they may be looked
upon as. 'in better condition to buy
our Summer mid Autumn fruits and
wines, and thus will be removed a
Hlucknoss of domand which has trou
bled our high-class crops of the last
two years.' "
