Snn Francisco Send Notice of t Oily Individual on His "Way. Another faker is said to be coming to town. Portland seems to be a Mecca for such gentry lately, and the fraternity of smooth and suave manipulators ap pears to have this city down In its note book as an "easy" town. The latest rep resentative of the profession, who is re ported to be coursing his way in this di rection, will get a cool reception, how ever, for merchants are "next" to him and are watching out" with all their eyes. He represents himself to be a business man of unusual talents and attainments. He endeavors to obtain orders for the arrangement of business systems, meth ods and accounts, and uses all the wiles and arts of his trade. San Francisco sends warning that this spick and span young fellow, about 30 years of age, short in stature, sleek, suave and confiding In manner, has left that place for pastures new, after a lu crative sojourn there of about a month's duration. The warning does not say to what degree the gentleman victimized the Golden Gate city. Inasmuch as the Californians rarely confess themselves Swindled, and generally, when "worked," appear to take pleasure In seeing other cities go through the same ordeal, the admonition should have particular value. The faker pretends to have met with great success In many cities of the United States, and has many seemingly genuine references from some of the largest and best-known concerns In the manufacturing,- jobbing and retailing lines in the East. He is a person of exceeding olli ness and volubility, who fails not only to do what he claims to be able to do, but also grossly Ill-uses the confidence re posed in him. Portland merchants are not very sympa thetic since being victimized about three weeks ago by an impostor and swindler who so impressed himself upon the con. fidence of business men that he cut stick, it Is estimated, with about $500 of their precious money, although the sum was probably less. He cleared put for Puget Sound, but warning went after him, and he has evidently vanished into thin air, in so far as the ways and means of jus tice are concerned. This worthy gentleman was gifted with all the self-assurance and smooth endow ments of his profession, and was not at all hampered by the common name of Mil ler. He said he was traveling about the country getting signatures from the prom inent business men of the United States to a petition whereby mercantile houses might obtain from the railway passenger associations of the United States Inter changeable mileage .tickets. So far, so good. Would the business men help along so worthy a cause? Why, of course; It was just what they had wanted to see started for a long time. Would they sign? Certainly. Were they willing to contrib ute a small fee to stand off the expenses of the estimable young gentleman? Why, yes; this was as reasonable as the other. The lubricity of his polish and the suav ity of his manner completely charmed a good many Innocent merchants. He dis played all kinds of credentials, letters and recommendations. He. was agent -for the Imposing "Commercial Travelers' Jour nal and Bulletin," an Influential paper of New York, which, by the way, had never been published, but that secret was his own business. It had an office all right enough, as investigation proved, and that office was in a printing shop, but this was all of the aerial journal. The petition to the Railway Passenger Associations further asked that traveling men be allowed baggage up to 250 pounds. Mercantile houses whose representatives carried -no baggage were asked to give $10. Other firms whose drummers had baggage, and a good deal of It, were re quested to contribute from $25 to $50. Of course, the young gentleman waj not run ning around the country for the fun or the health of the thing, as the merchants knew and afterward discovered. . Business .men contributed -with surprising alacrity. ana were so easy tnat tney are won dering now how it all happened. However, when the swindler came upon George W. Werlln, of Closset & Devers, he met somebody who read clear through him. Mr. Werlln told the grafter he had telegraphed to New York to find out about things, and would get a reply that very day. He requested the gentleman to call around in the afternoon. However, the schemer had an excellent faculty for seeing through a millstone with a hole in it. He was shadowed by a detective to the railroad station, where he boarded a train for Puget Sound. The Sound cities and Spokane were put on their guard, and since then nothing has been heard of him. This Is the chief reason the newly ad vertised faker will get a chilly reception here. Will Soon Be Self-Snportlng-. The M. A, Ross post, G. A. R., and Woman's Relief Corps, at Pleasant Home, have managed their affairs so well that they will soon be self-supporting. The post and corps bought a lot and put a building on It, The building they en larged, so there is a large hall on the second floor, a banquet hall with a pantry and a store room on the same floor. The Income from rent will soon be large enough so that all dues to members of the post and corps will be remitted. WHAT SHALL WE HAVE FOR DBS SERTf This question arises in the family every day.

OF If He Shall Decline, H. McK, Tvrom bley May Be Elected In Accord ance With Recent Agreement. NEW YORK, June 6. The Evening Post says: "W .K. Vanderbllt has been asked to accept election to the Northern Pacific board of directors under the reconstruc tion which Is now under way. In accord ance with the agreement between the Union Pacific Interests and Mr. HilL This left the selection of the Northern Pacific board to J. P. Morgan, but !t is likely that all the names will be agreed to by the time he reaches this country. "Mr. Vanderbiit has not given his ac ceptance of election to the Northern Pa cific board, so far as could be learned today. If he declines. H. McK. TWombley will be asked to go into the board. Both Mr. Vanderbllt and Mr. Twombley are directors of the Chicago & Northwestern. Their election to the Northern Pacific board will not. however, indicate an In terest of the Northwestern In the North ern Pacific stock so much as It will a de- I GRCS3 AND NET RAILROAD EARNINGS.

Clnnh Ended In a Compromise. " NEW YORK, June 6. The Press tomor row will say: "W. K. Vanderbllt, or a representative of the New York Central system, will be elected a director of the Northern Pa cific Railway. Samuel McCrea, a vice president of the Pennsylvania, will enter the -directorate of, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. These changes come supplementing the election of one of J. P. Morgan's partners as a member of the directorate of the Atchison company, and the election of W. H. Moore, p.n asso ciate of Mr. Morgan, as a director of the Rock Island. They indicate complete harmonization of the Important rail road interests of the country. The clash between important banking Inter ests has ended in a compromise, and in cluded in the compromise Is the Introduc tion of both the New York Central and Pennsylvania interests into the lines op erating from Chicago to the Pacific Coast. The election of directors which has taken place and those in prospect Jn the West merely are steps toward carrying out a grand scheme of consolidation. Most im portant, of course, among these details, Is the probable election of W. K. Vander bllt or a representative of the Vanderbllt Interests to the directorate of the North ern Pacific." GROSS EARNINGS FOR TAXATION. How the Basis Shall Be Determined Discussed by Commissioners. SAN FRANCISCO, June 6. The National Association of Railroad Commissioners held a brief session this afternoon, de voting most of the" time to the reading of papers on various subjects. Graham L. Rice, of Wisconsin, read a paper on "What Earnings of Interstate Railways Constitute Gross Earnings Within a State That Can Be Justly Assigned as Taxable When the Tax Is Upon Gross Earnings." Mr. Rice summed up his con clusions as follows: "Where the tax Is upon gross earnings all the revenue derived from the sale of transportation within the- state and all other revenue derived from the perma nent capital of the company within the state is justly taxable. The sale of trans portation revenue should be based upon the revenues on train mileage basis and the miscellaneous income should be in cluded as gross earnings for the purposes of taxation. "It seems to me that it is useless, how ever, to make any report to this conven tion on this subject, Inasmuch as there are but two or three states that have this system of railway taxation, and for the further reason that we have not a uniform accounting or bookkeeping by the railways. I would be pleased to see the Interstate Commerce Commission enforce the authority vested In that body to make all interstate railways adopt a uniform system of accounting." J. C. Wllborn, of North Carolina, read the report from the committee on uniform classification of freight. The report sug gests that Congress be asked to empower the Interstate Commerce Commission to establish a uniform classification of freight in interstate business. The hope of the commission is that such a plan of uniform freight classification might prove successful In interstate business and that the states would be willing to put the same classification In force in state hnslnpss therebv securing a uniform classification in all business and through out the whole country. START FOR CROW'S -XEST PASS. Company Organized In Montana In Interest ot Great Northern. GREAT FALLS, Mont., June 6. The or ganization of the Montana & Great North ern Railway Company, articles of incor poration of which were filed today, con firms the rumor of the past six months that the Great Northern has acquired con trol of the Crow's Nest Pass coal fields across the line, and of vast timber inter ests in the northwestern part of this state.

The meeting was largely attended. Charles K. Henry presided. The discus sion of Union avenue was taken up at the start. Mr. Henry, as chairman , of the committee on the' opening or the street, made a verbal Teport, recommending a 70-foot street between Alberta1 street and Dekum avenue. E. Quackenbush, one of the owners of the Piedmont tract, by re quest made a statement of his position. He favored making Union avenue 100 feet wide, and said that he would be willing to be one of a committee of 15 to under take the widening of Union avenue from East Burnside 100 feet wide to the city limits. Mr. Quackenbush said that while he favored making Union avenue 100 feet wide., he would not oppose making it SO feet wide, provided all others would give the land for the widening.

BEARING ON EARLY OREGON Portland Library Adds a Valuable Book to Its Lnrpre Collection. - j The Portland Library Association has recently -made a valuable addition to its collection of books bearing on the early history of the Pacific Coast, in the shape of the now rare three-volume edition of "Travels to the Source of the Missouri River and Across the Continent to the Pacific Ocean. 1E04-5-6, by Captains Lewis and Clark." published by Longman, Hunt, Orme &. Brown, London, 1817. This work Is very rare, and it is not known, that there Is another copy of it In the North west. It was procured In London at a fairly stiff price.

An official of the Seattle library. who looked over the collection lately, said It was the best he had seen or heard of.

The Library Association has also lately added to Its collection of rare and curious books two volumes of early Mormon lit erature. One is entitled "Journal of Dis courses, by Brlgham Young, Hit Tw'o Counsellors, the Twelve Disciples, and Others."
