SALT TAKES JUMP

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
