SALT WAR IS
LOCAL IMPORTERS ARE FIGHTING
THE TRUST
9000 Tons from Abroad Trust
First Lops Off $6 per Ton ; Now
Comes $8 more Octopus'
Hold at Last Broken
FoiirShips Coming
With Salt; One
Here.
Portland, July 24. The Oregouian
says: Cheap ocean freights between Eu
rope and Portland are responsible for the
liveliest salt war that has- ever been wit
nessed on the Pacific Coast. Four ships
are now en route tor Portland trooi .Eu
rope with salt cargoes, and a fifth is dis
charging in the harbor. The amount of
salt included in the cargoes of the fleei of
five vessels ia approximately 9000 tons;
and it has precipitated a merry war
fraught with great interest and profit for
salt-consumers of the Pacific Coast. For
the past few years the salt business of the
Pacific Coast has been in control of the
Federal Salt Company, better known as
the salt trust, an organization -which has
control of the output of all the salt ob
tainable for Pacific Coast territory. The
owners of the salt mines were paid a nom
inal figure, said to be about 55 per ton,
for the product, tnd under the benign in
fluence of the trust the price to consum
ers steadily mounted to $25 and 28 per
ton.
While Portland importers have brought
on the war and attendant drop in prices,
it was a Seattle dealer who opened the
ball. Had he been possessed o the nerve
and staying qualities of the Portlanders,
salt would have declined last winter.
The China Mutual steamers were coming
out from Europe with hardly enough
freight to keep them in ballast trim, and,
in order to secure cargo, made a very low
rate on a lot of 3'JOO tons of salt from Liv
erpool to Seattle. The salt trust was ad
vised or the move, and, befsre the con
signment reached its destination they bluf
fed the Seattle man into selling to them,
preferring to take it at a nominal figure,
instead of fighting it with lower ptices.
On arrival, the Seattle consignment was
laid away in "the warehouse, and che
price of salt still remained away up in
the air. It was held at such outrageous
prices that Portland importers saw an op
portunity to make some money, and the
British bark Sierra Estrella was laid on
at Liverpool to load a consignment of
1500 tons for Portland direct.
Soon after the vessel sailed, the cargo
was sold to several Portland wholesalers
who had been at the mercy of the trust
So far as known, no effort was made by
the trust to get hold of the Sierra Estrel
la'e cargo, but about the time the shfp
was due last month the trust suddenly
announced a sweeping reduction of 8
per ton in the price of ealt. It is report
ed that even this cut was hardly deep e
nough to cause the Portlanders to lose
much money ;so when the Sierra EstrelJa
began discharging this week, more dras
tic measures were decided on. Yesterday
the Federal Salt Company made the an
nouncement that a further reduction cf
$6 per ton would be made today, a total
of $14 per tou sliced off the price iu about
30 days. While this of itself will depre
ciate the value 01 tns b.erra JtiStreiia s
cargo about $ 20,000, it is apparently on
ly a preliminary for the fun which is to
fallow.
The .British ships John Cooke and
Foyledale ara now winging their way out
from' Liverpool, with about three times
as much salt on board as came on the
Sierra Estrella, and the French bark
Grande Duchesse Olga is coming out
from Hull with a cargo of the saline sta
ple. There is a rumor to the effect that
after the sailing of the Foyledale in June,
an agreement, was effected between the
American salt trust and the British salt
trust to stop shipments to the Pacific
Coast, under threat of an American inva
sion of the British salt trade. Before the
truth or falsity of this rumor was appar
ently actual transactions, a new factor
appeared, and it is this new factor that
promises to make more trouble than any
thing that has yet happened.
The German ship Herzogin Cecelia,
with a cargo ot salt from Hamburg, sail
ed from the German port June 28, for
Portland, and her cargo of about 4000, tons,
instead of coming to a Portland importer
to tal e the risk of fighting the salt trust,
is still owned by the German salt tru6t,
which is about as well equipped financi
ally as the Federal Salt Company. When
the big German ship reaches Portland
with her cargo, the opportunities for in
tensifying the conflict will be very much
improved. In fact, local importers are
already figuring on a problem which
might be presented in this language: "If
a i300-tOE cargo of salt causes a reduc
tion of $14 per.ton in the price, how great
a reduction will be caused by the arrival
of 4000 tons more ot English salt, and an
equal amount of German salt?"
Meanwhile stocks of salt are large all
over the Pacific Coast. The Federal Salt
Company has, in addition to thousands
of tons of American salt in California
warehouses, oyer 60,000 of foreign salt
wnich is kept off the market in order to
hold prices up. The stock men and large
consumers of salt are very much, pleased
with the outlook, and trust that the
white-winged dove of peace will keep far.
enough away from the salt trust to avoid
the danger of getting any of the stuff on
her tail.
VUttJS AS RAT POISON
Test of a Disease Developed to Kill
Off the Pests.
Gov eminent .Marine Hospital Official
Experiments tvltn Onltvre of a
Bacillus with Gratifying
Snecess.
Since it became Known that the bu
bonic plague was spread by rats, the
question of means of destroying them
has assumed greater importance. The
discovery of a perfect rat destroyer
would be of vast benefit to the pub
lic health, says the Jnew York Sun.
M. J. liosenau, director of the hy
gienic laboratory of the United
States marine hospital service, has
recently investigated a new metiod
for destroying rats by means of cul
tures of a certain bacillus. This
method was developed by J. Danyz.
The virus which he obtained, while
far fro:n beiag a certain means of
exferminaiing rats in a particular
place, may be used as one Weapon in
the fi-ht against them.
A culture of a bacillus isolated
from a spontaneous epidemic among
harvest mice wa3 selected, and grown
in bouillon to accustom it to an ex
istence without oxygen. This was ac
complished by growing the culture in
flasks as completely filled as possi
ble. The flasks were placed in an
incubator until the culture developed,
and then kept at an ordinary .tem
perature until a deposit formed and
the bouillon became prefectly clear.
From the flasks the culture was
passed into a collodion sack, which
was kept for from a day to a day and
a half in the abdominal cavity of a
rat, then kept anew in ordinary
bouillon and thence again in flasks.
This series of operations was repeat
ed several times, and at the fourth or
fifth repetition a decided increase in
virulence for mice was noted.
Mice were then renlaeed in the ex
periments by youiic rats a month or
six weeks old. Next older rats were
used. Proceeding 111 this way the cul
ture was specialized, and Danyz final
ly succeeded in rendering it regular
ly virulent for grp.v rats, black rats
and white rats, whereas it was orig
inally only slightly virulent for the
gray rats and entirely ineffective for
the others.
Dr. Kosenau fed 115 rats wifh the
cultures during a course of various
experiments with the virus. Of thpse
only 4G died. The results seem to de
pend largely upon the amount of
culture ingested. By starving the
rats for a couple of days and then
giving them all they would eat a very
positive result was obtained. Twen-.
ty-seven rats so fed all died within a
week. If the rats get only a small
amount, however, not only is the ef
fect uncertain, but the survivors be
come immune and can feed upon the
cultures to their hearts' content and
be none the worse for it.
It would seem that the virus is not
unlike the laying of a chemical poi
son, depending as it does upon the
amount, ingested. But, while the
chemical poison has the advantage
of not producing an immunity, the
virus has the very decided advantage,
of beincr, so far as is known, harm
less for man and domestic animals.
DISTRIBUTION OF SEED.
Delayed by the Failure to "Wo-rlt of
the Pilltna and. Sealing
Considerable delay is being occa
sioned in the' congressional seed dis
tribution by the failure of the filling
and sealing machinery to work as it
was expected to do. The invention is
a new one, and not jet in a state of
perfection, but it is thought that the
inventor, who spends his time in the
plant, will be able to have it in good
working order in the next few days.
Just now the work of filling, sealing
and! franking the bags is being done
by hand as rapidly as possible,' and
some orders are beiDg gotten out for
the localities in which planting first
occurs.
It is thought by the contractors that
the plant, which is conveniently lo
cated near the post office, will be in
full working ord'erin the next few day Ss
and that, even with the present delay
and the extra appropriation, the work
will be completed much more rapidly
than ever before..
Some fear is entertained by some
congressmen lest Secretary Wilson's,
test for germination is too high, and
that he is paying too much attention
to the scientific character of the sup
ply, and thus materially retarding the
distribution. The congressmen frank
ly confess that it is the quantity and
speed of the distribution for which
they care more than for the quality,
and already they are making uneasy
calls at the plant where the seeds are
being handled and to the seed division
of the agricultural department.
Animal.
Details of a thrilling fight in which
an endrmqus timber wolf vanquished
a pack of IS hounds reached Mattoon,
IU., the other day. It occurred on
the Sizemore farm, near Marley, Ed
gar county, and was witnessed by
Siebert Scott, William Creech and
Mark Davidson, who were at work in
a sugar, camp. They saw the wolf
running, followed by the dogs. The
pursued animal was weak from the
long chase, and, seeing the men, ran
into a shallow creek. There it turned
at bay. The hounds attacked it vi
ciously for an hour, but retired with
slit noses, lacerated flanks ar.C bleed
ing todies. - The wounded' but vic
torious wolf was shot and killed by
Scott as it clambered upoa the bank.
