A FREIGHT CAR FAMINE EVERY ROAD FEELS SCARCITY AXD XO RELIEF IX SIGHT. Three Thousand Extra Could Be Used in Portland Territory Develop ment in "Western Oregon. If 1000 extra freight cars could be de livered! in Portland today they would be Immediately put in service and there would still be a cry for more. Probably 3000 new freight cars could be employed to advantage in, the Portland field today. None of the roads entering Portland has cars enough to .handle its traffic, and none of them, can get enouch. All the roads hav orders for new cars in the shops at the East, but the strike of the steel workers has interfered with t"he fill ing of the orders on time, and the Fall rush comes -and finds the companies with out the extra equipment. There is but one thing to do tinder the circumstances to move freight as fast as possible with the equipment available. While the scarcity of cars is already notable, the prospect is that it will be much worse later in the Fall. So far as the Southern Pacific is concerned, however, there Is hope for relief from the failure of the San Francisco strike, which Is believed to be petering out. A large number of freight cars are held there through inability to get them unloaded. Lumber sblpmcnts are particularly act ive. On the Southern Pacific lines In Ore gon the increase of lumber shlpmentls this year over tliose of last year is S3 per cent, and last year's shipments exceeded those of the preceding year by the same pro portion. The recent opening of Western Oregon to common rates on lumber -destined to the Eastern market through Port land has operated to Telieve the Southern Pacific somewhat in the car famine, giv ing it cars of other lines to load for East ern points. But the movement of piles and lumber southward is also exceedingly active and brings loud calls for transpor tation that cannot! be supplied. The short age of flat cars is the most notable, as piles and other long timbers can not be handled on any others, the long stuff extending the length of two cars. The O. R. Si. N. Co also feels the need ot more cars to accommodate Its lumber shipments, and the grain of a bumper crop is about to begin to press. The JCorthorn Pacific is crowded even beyond the limit of its motive power. Complaint or shortage in cars also comes from the Great Northern lines. In - addition to lumber and grain, the volume of general business is so large that It taxes everj acHity 'for handling iz. Western Oregron Development. General Freight and Passenger Agent Miller has returned from a conference with his superiors in San Francisco, but he has nothing more significant than a feasant visit to report. He says Mr. Markhanv who went from Portland to be come assistant freight traffic manager ot the Southern Pacific Company, is ad--i ani&seously situated in San Francisco, and CHiinot but be pleased with the change to the higher position, air. Markham's family 'will soon join him there- Mr. Miller finds much encouragement for his development policy in Western Ore gon. The response made to his request for an adequate agricultural display for the PorUard Carnival and Exposition has sratKied him, and he feels that the field is ripe for an aggressive industrial cam paign, -and he Is about to open It to in troduce new methods on old farm, to In crease manufacturing, to open country now wtWl and waste and make It productive of civilization and railroad traffic A par ticular object of Mr- Miller's energy will be tfee -development of the Southern Ore son mineral district. He is cbnvlnced that there is no richer district on the Pacific Coast than that of Western Oregon, from Bohemia southward to the state line, and he means to do everything in his power to bring it into wider notice, get more capital interest and more mines producing. He believes the miners of that region will welcome assistance in this line, and it is so important a branch of industry that it is worth a considerable effort in its behalf. BUTTER AND EGGS SHORT. Eastern Product Xow Finding: Its Way to This Market. Notwithstanding the great expansion of the dairying business in this region of late, the supply of butter is not equal to the demand, and Eastern butter is finding its way to this market again. Last year there was no Eastern butter brought here, but the long spell of dry weather the last Summer bad the effect of lessening the output, and the popula tion of the city has been increasing rap idly, consequently Eastern butter will have to be imported. Last Spring, when the supply of butter began to exceed the demand, a large quantity some 150.000 pounds was bought up and put in cold storage. This has been nearly all disposed of already, and as the present output of the dairies is not enough to supply the demand the shortage will have to" be made good by Eastern butter. Eggs have of late been scarce, and sev eral carloads have been sent from the East, but none of them have come here, so far as known, With eggs at 25 cents per dozen here and 16 cents per dozen in Chicago, there Is a good margin for Im porters, but the prospect is that prices will soon drop here, and there is a risk in importing any. After harvest, thS out put of -eggs always increases, and It is said that there will be more chickens engaged in laying eggs in this section this Fail than ever before. It Is highly desirable that Oregon should produce enough eggs and butter for home con sumption at least, and with the progress made during the past year or two, It is evident that this will, be done before long. BOGUS INFERNAL MACHINE Turned Out to Be Piece of Telephone Mechanism. What was supposed to be an Infernal machine was discovered yesterday by citi zens at Mount Tabor near the junction of the Mount Scott trolley line. It was a peculiarly shaped box, and a yellow-looking wire peeped from the lid. "Anarchists," said the man who found it. and visions of deep-laid plots by the enemies of mankind were freely men tioned. "We live in perilous times and we had better be careful," said another man who had been told of the find. Nobody would touch the curious-looking box, and a telephone message was sent to the police station. Detectives Snow and Kerrigan were dispatched in hot haste to where the box lay, and they found the citizens watching it suspiciously, but at a discreet distance. "Who will lift this box?" asked Snow, but nobody responded. Kerrigan kicked the box suggestively, but no ex. plosion took place, and then he and Snow took charge of It and brought it to the police station. Here the police officials fought shy of it, and George J. Walker, city electrician, was sent for, and he ex amined the mahogany box. After a short examination he said: "This box contains a piece of telephone mechanism. It Is perfectly harmless." WHAT DO THE CHILDREN JDRIXKf Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GRAIN-O? It Is de licious and nourishing and takes the place of coffee. The mare Grain-O you frive the chil dren the more health you distribute through their systems. Graln-O Is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice zrades of coffee but costs about i as much.

Tne original programme of opening ex ercises for the Portland Carnival adver tised for Wednesday evening will be car ried out on Friday evening. The postponement of the opening was decided at a meeting of the entire Car. nival committee last night. The meeting was a full one, and the matter of post poning the opening was very thoroughly discussed. General Summers presided, and some of the committeemen favored open ing Wednesday, as advertised, but with a sacred concert or muffled music, closing Thursday and resuming" "Friday., Others favored opening Thursday night- or Sat urday night, but finally It was decided unanimously to have the opening (on Fri day night, and o turn over Multnomah field to the people for memorial services. I. N. Flelschner reported that his spe cial committee had carried out Its In structions and had tendered the Carnival bands and Multnomah field to Mayor Howe, and the same had been accepted with thanks. Bandmaster DeCaprlo was present and stated that on the occasion of the memo rial services Thursday he would have the consolidated Carnival bands render a funeral march that he was now composing for the occasion. Chief Campbell appeared before the committee and outlined what was neces sary for fire protection, and the matter of making all proper precautions was left to the Chief and Superintendent Rowe.' The finance committee was Instructed to Insure all Exposition property that the committee Is interested in. For Monument Fund. The Carnival committee unanimously decided to give permission to the Ladles' Auxiliary of the Spanish-American "War Veterans to sell badge buttons for the benefit of the monument fund. The Chiefs of Police and' Fire Depart ments are Invited to visit the Carnival on their stars. Chairman Stelnbach, of the concessions committee, reported that close to $2000 has been received for concessions. Miss Emma Stanley was engaged as at tendant in the ladles' room. The Carnival committee will meet again Thursday evening. Music Hall let Beautiful. Superintendent Rowe's Ideas of trans forming music hall have proven very suc cessful, and the bright greenery that meets the eye on every hand 19 very cheer ful. Garlands of green are very taste fully arranged, and hang In graceful curves, and beds of growing plants and flowering shrubs are ranged around the edges of the beautiful lagoons. The sides of the galleries are tastefully festooned with foliage, conspicuous among which are the beautiful tints of Autumn leaves. The music hall will present a picture on opening pight. Fish Hatched While You Walt. Exposition salmon hatcheries here have heretofore been conducted on a very small scale. But notwithstanding that fact they have always attracted marked attention and been objects of interest to all. The Exposition hatchery this year will be on a large and very complete scale. Its setting up Is now receiving the careful personal supervision of Mr. Carter, the United States Superintendent of Hatch eries, who Is aiding Captain Edwards in every way to make this live exhibit both Instructive and Interesting. Mr. Carter will have the salmon shown In detail, from the spawn to the can. The eggs will be hatched before your eyes, and all sizes of salmon will b shown. In one tank there will be about 10OJ averaging six inches In length, and from seven to eight months old. Then there will be a few full-grown fellows to show what mighty oaks from little fishballs grow. Captain E. S. Edwards Is showing him self to be the man for the place. In put ting him In charge of the agricultural and horticultural departments, General Sum mers knew his ability and indefatigable energy. The Captain has steadily stuck to work for the past week, day and even ing, and certainly has now In the very best shape both his big departments and their several ramifications, which reany amount to five large exhibits. He is ar ranging a hopklln and a hopyard, and will have some big arches composed of 120 bales of hops. He-has tons of vegetables already In 'position, and tons of fruit to come. His decorations made from grain in sheaf are not only tasteful, but are also emblematical. In all of Captain Edwards' efforts he is ably seconded by R. B. Mil ler, general freight agent of the South ern Pacific Company's lines In Oregon. Mr. Miller is getting together one of the best special exhibits ever shown on the Pa cific Coast, and It will be a credit to tho company he represents. Woman's Department. This department of the fair Is going to be fully as attractive as Its many friends predicted. Superintendent Rowe has been giving Mrs. Batten, its superintendent, every possible aid and co-operation, and almed-at results have been accomplished. The decorations of the department are complete and In very good taste, and the varied exhibits are ready to be put in place. Mrs. Batten has been offered arti cles for exhibit which are of great his torical value, and Astoria people have an nounced their intention of sending up sev eral exhibits. Among the working ex hibits in the woman's department will be a carpet-weaving loom and burnt-leather etching. The domestic department anu cooking school will prove interesting to all visitors. THOSE ADDEP DESCRIPTIONS An Explanation That Docs Not Ex plain Apparent Illegality. Concerning the correction of descriptions to former loose assessments, or, perhaps more property speaking, additions to in definite descriptions Incorporated In the records just completed bringing back taxes up to date, a clerk at the Courthouse states that the county bid In this partic ular property under these corrected or additional descriptions at the time of the Noble contract. These descriptions were made a part of the alias writ Issued at that time. The Supreme Court decided the changes or additions to be Illegal, and also declared the Noble contract null and void. If the county bid In property where there were additions or corrections to descriptions, it might be held by the courts that such bidding in was done under illegal con ditions, and that the county did not buy anything. TJhe corrected descriptions, It was stated, were put Into the new work compiling the taxes up to date, simply because the county bid in the property that way. This does not alter the fact that It Is contrary to the decision of the highest court of the state. SOCIALIST READING-ROOM. Portland Club, No. 1, Trying: Reform by Educational Means.

Our reading-room Is open for the general public dally from 9 A. M. to 10 P. M." Mr. Crowley, although engaged nightly as a speaker on the street corners, is a workingman and puts in his regular 10 hours as a machinist. He thinks there are a large number of people in Portland who believe in socialistic tenets, but who have no) yet Identified themselves with the organization. The headquarters of the socialists, he says, Is at Chicago, Leon Ureenbaum being the National secretary. A little medicine of the right kind, taken at the right time. Is Invaluable. That means Carter's Little Liver Pills, and tako them now. SiiCtop DISSOLUTION SALE OF THE ENTIRE SOULE BROTHERS & JOHNSTON STOCK.

George Cockburn, wife and son, who have been spending a two weeks' vacation on the Nestucca, arrived home yester day. They report having enjoyed magnif icent trout-fishing, and their experience may serve as a pointer to some of the many who have had poor luck trout-flsh-lng this season. They located at "The Park." about a mile below the village of "Woods, on the Nestucta, near the head of tide-water and about two miles from the mouth of the river. They found the people there more than kind, and exhibiting no desire to take advantage of visitors. Mr. Cockburn is an- old sportsman, and knowing that fish have their favorite haunts and feeding grounds, the first week was spent in getting" acquainted with these. The second week they enjoyed ftne sport, the first forenoon out catching 31 beauti ful trout with a fly. After that their only trouble was to dlsposs of their fish. Tteey supplied campers coming In, and gave ftah to all who wanted them. There are three species of trout la the river, and they are all gamey and hard fighters. The last afternoon they spent on the Nestucca they fished an hour and caught 24 trout to bring home for friends. Some of these trout weighed three pounds, and th lot averaged 24 pounds. The party enjoyed a splendid time, and abandoned the Ash ing because they could not get rid ot the fish. They did not do much shooting, but had all the game they desired to eat. Mr. Cockburn advises all who desire to enjoy good trout-fishing to visit the Nestucca. Dyspepsia makes you nervous, and ! nervousness makes you dyspeptic; either one renders, you miserable. Carter's Wttla Vver ?llls cure both.
