OREGON'S GRAND OLD
MAN PASSES TO REST
JUDGE GEORGE H. WILLIAMS IS
DEAD AT PORTLAND IN
87TH YEAR.
Onrge H. Williams, Oregon's fore
most citizen la dead. The grand old
mnn passed Into eternal sleep quietly
and peacefully M'tnuay morning. Aa
nearly aa can be determined the end
riime at about 7:30 o'clock, but there
was no one at the bedside, for none
expected that dissolution was Imtnl
nent. The venerable Jurist who had
Just rounded out bis s'lh year about
a week ago had answered the final
call In Jnst the manner he had wish
ed.
He had retired for the night at the
usual hour : 30 feeling In good spir

contracted a few daya ago did not
seem to trouble hi in auy, but lest It
should give him worry or keep him
awake, hla daughter fixed for blm a
mixture of lemon and augar, and told
him to lake It In ease he needed It.
He must have awakened sometime
during the nlKht, for the glass was
empty when Miss Kll'-n knocked at
hla door to ask If there was anything
she could do fur blm.
Her father did nut answer ner
morn lug's greeting, and she thought
at first he waa sleeping soundly. Not
wanting to disturb blm, she waited
few mlnutea, then called again.
There waa no reply. She approached
the bedside and still she thought he
waa Bleeping. He lay In a perfectly
natural position In bis bed. She then
stooped to catcb the sound of breath
ing, but there waa no exhalation. Fear
ing that he had hail a turn for the
worse, she raised his hnd. and It fell
limply on the white coverlet. Miss
Williams hurried lo the telephone, and
summoned Dr. A. B. Mackay, the fam
ily physician. He was there In' a few
mlnutea. and even he waa obliged to
apply the usual tests to ascertain
that death had laid low the states

fool a few .days ago while working on

his foot was caught .between a tum

force of the rock broke the heavy tlm

His bruises have cunipelled him to

RATE BETWEEN MILWAUKIE AND
PORTLAND MAY GO INTO
EFFECT 800N.
A o-cent fare between Portland and
Mllwnukle, with transfer privilege,
long looked forward to by commuters
of that aectlon, will probably be es
tablished before May 1. The time lim
it In which Kranklln T. Griffith, attor
new for the Portland Railway, Light
It Power Company may file his peti
tion for a rehearing with the Supreme
Court, will expire next Saturday. He
is working on the petition, citing, he
says, a few points not made at the
time the appealed case waa heard by
the Supreme Court.
Mr. Griffith admitted that there Is
very little hope that the Supreme
Court will reverse Itself, and that the
Milwaukle people are almost certain
to have a 5-cent fare within two or
three weeks.
"I shall file my petition," he said,
"and If the Supreme Court thinks
there la any. merit In the points V
shall raise, and desires to have the
other aide presented, It will call for
an answer from Attorney-General
Crawford and Attorney R. R. Giltner,
representing the Milwaukle people. Of
course, it cannot be said how soon
the court will pass upon the petition,
but, at the longest, I do not think It
will be more tban three weeks.
"I will admit that this case has
been In the courts a long time, per
haps longer than It should, and some
of the Milwaukle people are free to

RECEIPTS OF CATTLE, 8HEEP
AND HOGS AT PORTLAND
BREAK RECORDS.
PORK STILL CLIMBING
More Buyers Looking To Portland
Market For Their Supplies
and Competition la
Very Keen.
The live stock market at Portland
for the month of March has been a
pleasing one, both In prices and re
ceipts. As compared with March of
last year, there was an Increase of
31507 cattle, 1103 sheep and 382 bogs.
In the face of the great sbortage pre
vailing all over the country, this la
a splendid showing for the Portland
market.
All previous records for prices
were broken, not alone In Individual
instances of small sales, but In the
higher general average prevailing for
all classes of live stock. Cattle sold
high, sheep and lambs brought big
prices, and the hog rocket that went
up In February has shown no signs
of a falling stick.
More buyers are looking 'to this
market for their sunnlles and comDeti-
blame counsel for holding the case up i Hon in every line Is keen,
in the courts, especially as the rail- a further glance at comparative re-
roaa company nas resorted to every ; ceipts may be of Interest:
expediency to win Its case, and as It
has been necessary for me to secure
two extensions of time for the filing
of my petition for rehearing. But
they forget that lawyers are busy men
and that they usually have more tban
one case on their hands.
"While I do not wish to criticise the
counsel who appeared for the railroad
company before I was employed, I be
lieve that had this matter been hand
led differently a compromise might
have been effected between the Mil
waukle people and the railway com- supply of live stock that Is properlq

The showing in hogs is remarkable
when It Is considered that there were
3127 less brought to Portland by pack
ers from Missouri River points In
March, 1910, than in March, 1909.
Population Is increasing so rapidly
In the Pacific Northwest that the
farmers need have no fear of an over
go Into court to secure the things they
want, they usually ask for all they
think they can possibly get As a
matter of fact, the average commuta
tion rate between Portland and points
along tho Oregon City carline Is al
ready less than a cent a mile, while
the rate on the Oregon Electric line
Is 3 cents a mile." '
The petition for a reduction of the
fare between Portland and Milwaukle
from 10 cents to 5 cents, and from
Portland to Oak Grove from 15 cents
lo lu ceuis, was mKea oeiure me ure
gon Railroad Commission about two
years ago. When the 5-cent fare was
granted by the Railroad Commission
the railway company took the case
Into the Supreme Court, and it, haa
been there ever since.
(n the meantime the company has
continued to charge 10 cents for the
ride to Milwaukle, and 15 cents to
Oak Grove,' giving rebates which It
promised to redeem should the Su
preme Court sustain the decision of
the commission. An order of court
compelled It to file a bond, however,
and the entire amount of this bond
being covered by rebates about the
time the higher court handed down
its decision several months ago. It
was necessary to file a second bond,
and later a third. As long as the case
in abeyance In the Supreme . Court,
however, the railroad company con
tinues to charge 25 cents for the ride
from Oregon City, to Portland, and a
proportionate rate from other points
along the line.
