Pall Out of Losing GameBetween 5000 and GOOO Tons Arc Still ou the IVny. faction of salt prices "has begun, yes terday toe Federal Salt Company an nounced an advance of $5 per ton on all grades, and 'the Portland jobbers Immedi ately fell Into line. The sentiment In trade circles Is that the rise is only pre liminary to further advances. At the local office of the Federal Salt Company, ques tions as to -whether quotations would go up again' were met with the assurance that nobody couid tell anything about it at present. So everything Is sercno again between the trust and the Jobbers. Although it is denied that what the French call an "entente cordlale" exists, it Is perfectly apparent that an understanding has been reached, tacit though It may be. The Ave jobbers who own the Sierra Estrella's cargo, 2500 tons, will be permitted to pull' out without the loss that was "staring I them in the face. Not much of this cargo 'has been disposed ot, owing to the fact .'that the jobbers did not go so low in (price as the trust, and perhaps, also, to jthe foresight of the jobbers in looking for better things by and by. Prices now stand about on the Liverpool basis. To fcifford the Jobbers a good profit, they will 'have to go higher. The causa of the advance is not ac curately known. In Jobbing circles the opinion prevailed that the trust had found !lt hardly worth while to "monkey" over an insignificant amount of salt liko one tindependent cargo. Evidence is that neither side surrendered to the other, but that each desired to pull out of the jlosing game. The price, 512 a ton, quoted in Liverpool by the trust was low. It is said, 'since in the days of normal compe tition the price ranged from 515 to 51" a ton. The values now quoted nearly co incide with those of the English salt trust, so It is manifest now much lower salt was here than at Liverpool. It was given out last night by a salt authority that the late declines have not been to meet future cargoes that are now sailing for Portland, because these will be met as they arrive. Between 5000 and 6000 tons are on the way here, but it is understood that the jobbers have se cured no part of these cargoes. If anybody stocked up with salt at the low prices, hs identity is not common property, but it is thought that no large etores have been put by by outside spec ulators. A thick haze clouds the whole salt sit uation from the ordinary gaze, and not even insiders seem to have an over-fine bead drawn on it. The only certain fact is that prices have had a slashing recent ly, and that the tru6t did the slashing, presumably to disconcert trade not in ac cord with its interests. Whether it over leaped its own intentions is another mat ter to speculate over. Prices have been disturbed all o-er the Coast. SENATOR'S BUSY DAY. John IT. Mitchell Receives Calls From Friends and Politicians. Senator John H. Mitchell spent a busy day at his headquarters, in the Portland Hotel, yf6terday. The hot weather did not stand between the Senator and a hard day's work, so, by nightfall, a mass of correspondence had been attended to and many routine matters settled. All day long, a swarm of visitors poured in and out of 3Ir. Mitchell's room, among those who called being State Senator C. W". Fulton, Mayor George H. "Williams, and Congressman-elect J. N. Williamson, who came down from Eastern Oregon yester day afternoon. Senator. Mitchell's re markable memory for names and faces was taxed to the utmost yesterday, but there were few whom he failed to recog nize. Numerous political associates, a bevy of Federal office-holders and more who would like to be classified as such, besides hosts of personal friends, found their way to the hotel to shake the Senator's hand. Some called at the law office of Mitchell & Tanner, but were disappointed to find that Mr. Mitchell had not left the hotel. Although Senator ititchell will be in Portland only a few weeks, there Is no doubt but what there is considerable po litical significance attached to his visit. Many Federal office-holders are hanging on to the ragged edge, as their terms will soon expire. Consequently not a few are bending their energies toward securing reappointment, but it is not likely that any changes will be made during the Summer or early Fall. "When questioned upon the subject last evening, Senator Mitchell replied: "No agreements have been reached by the Oregon delegation concerning recommendations for those Federal positions the terms of whose occupants will soon, expire. I suppose the matter will be taken up when Con gress resumes Its work, in December. I have given little thought or attention to such matters, as my official duties at "Washington have kept me very busy of late. All these matters will be taken up at the proper time. I am very busy at present answering letters, and as soon as I get caught up with my correspondence, I shall get down town to ray office. I am delighted to get back to Oregon once more, and am glad to see so many old friends. Although the weather Is a little warm, the heat is not so Intense as that of the East and Middle "West. I shall be in Portland about three weeks." Senator Mitchell looked unusually well yesterday, it being the opinion of many old friends that he had not looked better lor years. PLANT FOR FOREST GROVE Condensed Milk Factory to Be Built to Cost Over $40,000. R. A. Stuart, one of the proprietors of the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Com pany, passed through the city yesterday on his way to Kent, "Wash., where the company has a large factory. Mr. Stu art has an important condensed milk en terprise under way, which he will estab lish at Forest Grove, for the manufacture of the well-known "Carnation" brand of sterilized cream. He expects within two or three years to build up a large indus try in "Washington County Just as he his done at Kent. The company will expend between 540,000 and 550.000 for plant and machinery: It wants a guarantee of about 20,000 pounds of milk to begin with, and to this end farm ers of "Washington County are being can vassed by a committee, to ascertain what milk, they will -individually supply. The project has been roundly welcomed throughout the county. A site, for the factory has been secured near the depot at Forest Grove. "I think we shall get promises of mllS from 2000 cows without any difficulty," said Mr. Stuart. "The outlook for the In dustry Is certainly a very good one. At Kent we have been established three years, and have built up a big business. Tho. prospect at Forest Grove is better than at Kent, for the reason that there is more country and more room for devel opment in Washington County. "Our problem Is how to enlarge our source of supply of milk, rather than how to enlarge our market. If. we could Just get all the milk "we needed' we could spread our goods everywhere, for our or ders are larger than we can fill." Mr. Stuart naturally is proud of the suc cess of his enterprise at Kent and his brand of cream, which has won a market all over the Coast. He will duplicate that success in Oregon, in what is considered the best dairy state in the Union. SHIELDS' PARK CROWDED Open -Air Entertainment Amnses lOOO Spectators. The first-class entertainments that are being given at Shields' Park are attract ing large crowds of people. Last night over 1000 spectators applauded the actors as they appeared, and without exception they were called upon for an encore. The performance 19 first class In every detail, and the programme is given continuously, the audience never being kept waiting. The Lawrences, comedy sketch arists, kept the crowd well amused, and gave a good exhibition. The hit of the evening in singing was made by Dorothy Dene in "The Pride of Newspaper. Row," which was rendered In a way that would please the most fastidious. The Lamonts, prem ier acrobats, gave an act in which they introduced a number of sensational feat ures that held the crowd and secured a hearty applause. The feats of strength and balancing were phenomenal. In the illustrated songs- the singing was an attractive feature. The landscapes were especially fine, and as they appeared the spectators showed their appreciation by long and hearty applause. The Duffy children are well known here, but last night they appeared In a number of new selections, and their work was well up to the standard. Tho act of Demontrello, the barrel and trick Jumper, was sensa tional. With his feet strapped together and both eyes blindfolded, he made what seemed to be impossible Jumps, alighting on a small pedestal that it would seem ex tremely difficult to hit, even with his eyes open. During the evening Manager Shields an nounced that the performance for ama teur night. Friday, would surpass pre vious exhibitions. HOTTEST DAY THIS YEAR Thermometer Reaches 00 Decrees Yesterday Cooler Tomorrow. Yesterday was the hottest day of tho season in this city, the thermometer reaching OG degrees at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The weather people say that today will probably bo warmer, "or at least as warm as Wednesday, though there are good chances of the hot spell breaking by Friday. The wave of heat has struck all the country west of the Rocky Mountains with unseasonable tem perature. Red Bluff, Cal., reports tho record 10G degrees. Roseburg is a close second with an even 100 degrees, while the various other towns on the coast report various figures from that point down to 58 degrees at Eureka. Portland stands well up In the list with only three ahead of her. The cooler weather will strike Southern Oregon today and then come northward on Friday, or Sat urday morning. The hourly tempera tures yesterday were as follows: 5 A. M.. 63; C A. M.. 07; 7 A. M.. 71; 8 A. M.. 75; 9 A. M.. 78; 10 A. M., 81; 11 A. M.. 84; 12 M., 90; 1 P. M., 93; 2 P. M., 95; 3 P. M., 9C; 4 P.

Jndpe "Webster Announces That Xo Improvements Will Be Made Un less Absolutely Accessary. "The county is broke, so far as the road fund is concerned, and no road im provements will be made that can possi bly be avoided." This statement was made by Judge "Webster yesterday at the meeting- of the Board ot County Commissioners. Judge "Webster said: "The last statement showed that the road fund indebtedness was ?62,O00, and there was T9000 in the. treasurj't When all the warrants are is sued for work now under contract the indebtedness will amount to JEQ.OOO or $90,000. In view of this fact the County FOR GOVERNOR DEMOCRATS NAME GEORGE H. DURAND. Gwrgo H. Durand, who was recently nominated by the Democrats of Michigan for the Governorship, Is well remembered In this city on account of his connec tion with the famous "conspiracy trials" several years ago. When Dunbar, Lotan and the Custom-House ofilclals were arrested for smuggling opium. President Cleveland sent Durand out from the East to co-operate with Prosecuting Attorney Dan Murphy and J. M. Gearln in the trial. Durand's position was In the nature of a special 'attorney for the Government. Commissioners have decided that rigid economy will have to be practiced, and that we will not spend a solitary cent unless It is absolutely necessary, and all the money has to be borrowed and Inter est paid. I do not know yet what the work on the Madison-street bridge, will cost, and then there Is the Improvement of the "White House road, and there are a great many road petitions before the board which will have to be refused. Of course, there are some bridges which will have to be rebuilt, and some things ab solutely required to be done, but the policy of the board will be not to do anything we can get along without, until we get money. The people must under stand the situation and bear with us, and we must spend the county's money as wc would our own." The reports of the viewers In the matter of the Shepherd and Hamilton roads were read, and further action postponed In definitely. Roadmaster Steele informed the board that the Stcret road near Pleasant Home required to be Improved for a distance of seven-eighths of a mile. It was full ot holes and Impassable. Several people living along the line of the road were present and Informed the court that they had to drive around the road a distance of several miles. Judge "Webster, In answer, said: "You see the condition we are In SSO.OOO worse off than nothing. The county is like an Individual. If we haven't got money we keep our expenses down." , The depleted condition of the road fund and Indebtedness io one of the resets ot about $200,000 lost by Multnomah County ln George B. Markle's banks. The county never caught up, and now owes a total sum represented by unpaid warrants of about $400,000. In regard to the claim of John Hall for $1000 for collecting delinquent mortgage taxes. Judge Webster announced: "With out going Into the details of the case, I will state that the claim will be dis allowed." A petition was read from he Clinton Kelly Board of Trade, signed by W. W. Bretherton as president, and also by Robert G. Morrow, president of the Mult nomah County Taxpayers' Association, asking for the construction of a bicycle path cn Powell street, from Twenty-llrst to Twenty-sixth. Judge Webster re marked: "We can construct bicycle paths, whlls we can't build roads, for the cogent reason that the bicycle-path fund has money. It Is the only fund that has any money except the scalp bounty fund. Cobody brings in any scalps." Road master Steele was Instructed to look over the ground and report about what the path will cost. The Poitland Sanitarium at Mount Tabor presented a petition asking for 40 loads of gravel. The court decided that In view of the benevolent character of the institution it be granted permis sion to take the gravel. Roadmaster Steele addressed the court regarding the building of two approaches to the Vancouver bridge, one from the Dove place, and one from the Moore place. The Commissioners promLvsd to attend to the matter, after having made au examination of the premises. Mr. Steele also informed the' board that there are two dangerous bridges on the St. Helens road, one of 50 feet, and the other about 200 feet. He said the bridges were IS years old. He was authorized to have temporary repairs made, and In the meantime to close the bridges and put up danger signals. ' William Gregory offered to cell the county some land with gravel pits for $150 per acre, and was told to present the proposition In writing. ESTATE IN A TANGLE. Judge Webster Is to Decide Claims of Phllllppls to Vnlunhlc Property. There was a spirited argument in the County Court yesterday in the matter of the estate of Appolonia Phlllippl, de ceased. She died a number of years ago leaving valuable property at Fourth. Fifth and Burnslde streets, which brings In $270 monthly rentals. By her will, part of the rents and profits were to be used by her son, Frederick Phlllippl, In the education of Frank Phlllippl. a minor grandson. Frederick Phlllippl died re cently, and by another clause of the will, at his death Frank Phlllippl was to re ceive one-half of the estate, and tho heirs of Frederick Phlllippl the other half. There is but one heir, Mrs. Freder ick Phlllippl, who has continued to col lect all the rentals, through her agent, Charles Koroll. After the death of Fred erick Phlllippl. Henry North was appoint ed administrator of the estate of Appo lonia Phlllippl. with the will annexed. John F. Logan, attorney for the admln- lstrator, argued that he ehould receive from Mrs. Frederick Phlllippl the balance of rents and profits of the estate of Ap polonla Phlllippl in the hands of her hue band at the time of his death and close the estate. Charles F. Lord, attorney for Mary Kramer, who Is the mother and legal guardian of Frank Phlllippl, stated that they were also entitled to recover half the rents collected since the death of Frederick Phlllippl. because Mrs. Phlllippl has received all of these rents except $25 per month, which has been allowed to the minor. "Whitney L. Boise and P. L. "Willis, who appeared as counsel for Mrs. Frederick Phlllippl. argued that it was not neces sary to go to the expense of an adminis trator of the estate of Appolonia Phlllippl, because the matter can be settled by the guardian of Frank Phlllippl presenting a claim to Mrs. Phlllippl. Judge "Webster said he would render a decision Monday. SAYS ORDINANCE IS VOID. Attorney Dunlvrny Raises Point Con cerning; City Law. In the hearing of the application of H. OF MICHIGAN. Y. Zul for a writ of habeas corpus for the release of N. Matoba fram the cus tody of the Chief of Police, R. R.Dunl way, an attorney for the applicant, raised the point before United States District Judge Bellinger yesterday that as the charter of the city Is a local law, and that as the constitution docs not permit the Legislature to pass laws regarding misdemeanors and crimes, the ordinance by which the Japanese was imprisoned, aa well as fined, was void. He contend ed that the city ordinances may provide for imprisonment if the fine should not be paid, but that the city could not im pose both fine and imprisonment. Fur ther hearing of the application was post poned until next "Wednesday, when Dep uty Attorney Fitzgerald will make an ar gument In behalf of the city. Frank Baldwin Gives Himself Up, Frank Baldwin, jointly Indicted with George W. and William Baldwin for man slaughter, in having killed Frank Carlson, surrendered himself to the Sheriff yesterday morning. Sheriff Storey went out in the country to arrest William Baldwin. George W. Bald win Is at liberty on $1500 ball. Judgo Sears yesterday fixed the ball of the others at $500 each. Frank Baldwin did not file a bond yesterday, so he was locked up. Petition of Mrs. Anna E. Albee. Anna E. Albee yesterday filed a petition in the County Court asking that she be allowed to deal with her separate prop erty, both real and personal, without be ing joined with her husband. Charles F. Albee. She states that he abandoned her In May. 1S99, and has absented himself from this state; that he has not contrib uted to her support and she does not know his present address.

Samuel Bur rows, aged 25, the Keklml farmer who Tuesday made a murderous assault upon two young men who had stopped at his house for" a drink, was surrounded today by a Sheriffs posse and shot and killed. R. Abrams and A. Montag, members of the posse, were wounded slightly by Bur rows, who, barricaded In his house, com menced firing as Goon as, tho officers ap peared. It Is thought Burrows was In sane. Now nt Hand. The season for diarrhoea and dysentery Is now on, and many are Interested in knowing how to get quick relief. There I3 one remedy that never fails, and Is pleas ant to take. Read what Mr. W. L. Story, of Union, Ala., says of It: "I had an at tack of flux (dysentery), which lasted about two days, when L got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy and was cured by two doses of it." This remedy is for sale by all druggists. OIL IS USED FOR FUEL CRUDE PETROLEUM TAKES PLACE OF WOOD AND COAL. Astoria and Columbia River Rail road Will Make the Change Steamboat Line Experimenting. That crude petroleum Is rivaling coal and wood as a fuel in the City of Port land is becoming an established fact. There are nearly 15 firms engaged In all branches of business using the natural oil, and there are prospects of many more coming into line in the near future. Most of the oil used for this purpose comes from the Bakersfleld region In California. At present It has to be brought to this city in tank Mne cars, and with the heavy freight rates pre vailing, this makes the oil somewhat ex pensive. This condition of affairs has Induced one of the largest companies operating In this region to look Into the matter of starting a tank-line of steam ers from here to San Francisco, and Its agent says that as soon as business war rants the change. It will put on a line that will materially increase the trade In the oil handled by his company. The oil can be stored within the city limits with perfect safety, for Its "flashing temperature" Is about 240 degrees, a far greater heat than It Is likely to have to withstand. It Is not a very high grade, for the higher, grades are not as effective for fuel as the lower grades. It Is a thick, molasses-like substance, with a rather peculiar odor, which, though no tlcablc. Is not offensive. When burnt In an engine It produces little or no smoke, and no cinders or sparks to endanger the neighboring country. Already the Columbia Southern Is using this fuel In Its engines, and reports that great success Is attending Its experi ments. Tanks have been constructed at Biggs to ho!d 40.000 gallons, and the com pany uses 100 barrels a day on Its road, the Astoria & Columbia River road 13 also figuring on the change. Four of Its fine new engines are running Cut of San Francisco on the Southern Pacific, and, as soon as they can come north they will probably burn oil, for two of them are already fitted with the proper fur naces and grates. They will be brought north as soon as the travel on the As toria route warrants It. maybe In the course of a few weeks. The Joseph Kello Transportation Company has fitted up Its river boat Iralda with the proper appliances for Its use, and the company's officers say that they are" satisfied with the results obtained. The Southern Pacific Com pany is erecting a mammoth steel tank at Hornbrook and two others along the Siskiyou 'division. This company can bring the oil In Its own cars from Its own wells, and the saving In coal In the moun tain hauls is very great. South of Duns mulr oil Is used . altogether, and within the next year trains In and out of Port land will probably do away with the wood burners, and Institute oil engines. The Portland Rolling Mills has had the system In operation for some time, and say that while Its "output has doubled since its adoption. Its fuel bill has only Increased one-third. Yesterday the Portland General Electric 'Company started to uses the liquid In Its plant In tho Oregonlan building, with what result time will tell. That It Is economical must be a fact, for the firms using It-are not of the order to waste money on trifles. In San Francisco all the public drives, tennis courts and similar places are oiled to prevent dust, and after it has packed the proper length of time, the roadways resemble bitumen pavements. The Southern Pacific Company sprinkles its roadbed with It to prevent dust, and even one of the stngcroads Into the Yosemite Valley has sprinkling wagons In opera tion so that its patrons will be as clean as possible on the long hot ride Into the valley from civilization outside. For a city situated as Portlnnd. far from coal deposits, petroleum is an Ideal fuel. The Portland Gas Company uses It Instead of coal In some parts of gas manufacture, and that It has been suc cessful In lowering the price of produc tion can be seen by the fact that the price of gas has recently been lowered materially.
