Force of Fall.
William Smith, 30 yers of age, fell
through the elevator shaft at the mills
of the Crown-Columbia Paper com
pany Tuesday afternoon and is lying
at his horns on Thirteenth street in
a critical condition.
For some time after the accident,
he was dazed by the fall. He was car
rying a load of freight to the second
story when he seemed to walk back
-over the edge of the elevator and felU
the distance to the floor below. He
struck on his head and Tuesday night
there seemed to be danger from con
cussion of the brain.
No Bones Broken.
The fall itself was not a serious one
and no bones were broken. The
blow on the head was responsible for
the condition Tuesday night. He has
mada the trip many times before and
none of those who were in the build
ing at the time could acount for the
accident unless he had forgotten his
position on the elevator and had stepp
ed back too far behind the load.
The fall was a distance of 15 or 20
feet to the bottom of the e'evator
shaft where he struck on his head.
Physicians who were summoned at
once believe that he will recover al
though they conisder ' that his condi
tion is serious.

The verdict recites the facts in tha

the company. A car of slab wood slipp
ed into a crowd of Portland picnicers
while they were waiting for the train
at the station, killed one, and injured
several others.
Grading of the terminal yards of the
Clackamas Southern railroad, in the
block bounded by Main, Fourteenth I

was commenced this week, and will
be completed by the time "freight ser
vice over the line to Beaver Creek is
inaugurated.
Permission has also bean obtained
by the road from Major Mclndoe, of

Professor F. J. Tooza of the rate
committee appointd by Mayor Linn E.
Jones believes that the charges, made
for extension work by the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company are
exhorbitant, that the ratest are dis
crimatory, and that the assessments
levied in some cases before the ex
tension work was done is prohibitive.
The committee has been studying
the question of rates in the cit7 since
its appointment by the mayor Msas.
announced. It has at its disposal! a
number of receipts and other papers
issued by the company-and believes
that it has evidence that will show
to the commission of the state that
the company has made better rates
for some of its patrons than it has
for others.
Prohibitive Charges.
Wherever extension wodk has been
done, Prof. Tooze claims, the com
pany has made assessments against
the new patrons on the line and, in
many instances, these charges have
been so high as to be unreasonable.
He also things that the other rates
of the company are above the point
where the concern would bs able to
furnish the patrons with efficient ser
vice and, at. the same time, make a
reasonable profit on the venture.
The matter will be submitted to
the railroad commission of the state.
Statements that the chairman of the
committee has made were given to the
commission verbal'x Tuesday but they
will be again submitted within the
next few days, in written form.
A large number of receipts and
contracts were turned over by the
committee ti the state officials for
study. The commission has deter
mined upon, a far reaching investi
gation ana nas gathered data upon
the valuation and al lother feturas
deling with the property,, and assets
of a large corporation.

Success of Peace Plans Assured as

. Gain in Birth Rate
Six to One.
Oregon City femininity has left the
masculine element in the shade when
it comes to the city's birth rate. -
During the last week, of the total
birth rate more than 85 per cent have
baen girls. Reports from various
sections of the city have more often
told of .the birth of a girl than of
a boy and the rate seems to be stead
ily holding its own.
Of seven births recently reported,
only one was a. boy. Girls see the
light of almost every day but the boys
are few and far between. They seem
to be growing scarcer every. day as
the feminine population increases at
the rate of six to one. . . -
