CANNOT PAY MORE
Oregon City Papermakers
Reply to Employes.
SAY WAGES ARE HIGHER HERE
It Will Be Impoaslble to Compete
WitU Eastern Concerns It They
Accede to the Demands
Hade on Them.
Two paper-making concerns at Ore
Eon City will refuse to advance the
wages of their employes.
Nor can the hours of labor be reduced
from 12 to eight, as has been demanded.
If the changes desired are insisted
upon the only outcome will be the shut
ting down of the mills.
OREGON CITT, March 20. SpecIal.
It may be stated with a reasonable degree
of certainty that the Willamette Pulp &
Paper Company and the Crown Paper
Company will refuse any demand made by
their employes for an increase In wages
or a change of shifts to shorten the hours
of labor from 12 to eight hours a day.
This statement may be qualified by the
fact that the companies will receive any
demand made by the men In the same
spirit that It is made, and will rive It
every consideration. But. the officers of
the paper mills assert that a raise of
wages would be ruinous to them, that
their business does not Justify It, and the
competition -with Eastern mills is so great
that only by close figuring can a reason
able profit be realized.
Eastern Prices Reduced.
"The largest Item in the cost of pro
duction of paper is labor. In fact. It is
considerably larger than all of the other
expenses of operating. "Within the past
ten days the Eastern paper trust has re
duced the prlco of paper delivered on the
Pacific Coast one-half a cent a pound.
simply because the extremely low cost of
labor In the East is more than offset by
the freight rates which the trust Is able.
by means best known to Itself, to obtain.
We are not In the newspaper trust, al
though overtures have been made to us
to go Into it. There are many other
reasons why It is impossible for us to
grant a wage Increase or to divide the
work of the mills into three shifts of eight
hours."
This is In substance the statement given
out by the paper mill company. The
operators put up the argument that
wherever the experiment has been tried
In Eastern mills of putting the men on
a three-shift basis the men themselves
have come back, to two shifts, of their
own accord, because they received low
wases. One of the officers of the com
pany said today:
Wnfres Higher Here Than East.
"While it may be that some of the East
ern paper mills are working three shifts,
all of the pulp mills, as far as our knowl
edge extends, are two-shift mills. The
average wage of pulp mill employes in
the East is $L37& a day, compared
with JL73 here. The Willamette Pulp &
Paper Mill Company has the largest mill
for the manufacture of newspaper west
of the -Rockies, and perhaps west of Min
nesota. The concern wants to make its
employes believe that it has their inter
ests at heart.
"Tho whole paper-mill Industry stands
era a two-shift basis. It was unfortunate
perhaps that any of the men have the im
pression that the raise of a year ago was
xnaflo because of the organization of the
union. The Increase was contemplated
eeveral months before it was made, and
It would have been made just the same
"had there been no union. The raise was
made solely because of the increased cost
of living."
Raise Last Year Wat Voluntary.
Assistant Secretary M. Rosenbaum. of
tho Crown Paper Company, regarding the
proposed demands, says:
I was not aware that our men were
dissatisfied. "We raised the wages vol
untarily last year, and we are paying all
now that our business will Justify. The
price of wood for paper pulp has ad
vanced CO xer cent within the past few
years, ana tho price of paper has declined
10 per cent. I would be happy to concede
higher wages if our business would stand
It, but at present it cannot. If the wages
demanded are so high that we cannot
pay them, our only course would be to
shut down tho mills.
"The paper mills of the Pacific Coast
do not belong to any combine, and each
company is acting independently of tho
other. "We have to meet the paper mills
of tha East, who have a 75-cent rate to
the Coast on their product, while they can
obtain pulp much cheaper than we can.
"We only manufacture wrapping paper, and
dur neld is limited to the Coast. "We do
not ship Eastor to foreign countries."

they have taken, and it is certain that
neither will be a candldae. There is some

Hermann Sentiment in Benton.
OORVALLIS. March 20. (To tho Edi
tor.) Candidates for Congressman to suc
ceed the late Mr. Tongue are looming up
on all sides. There Is little doubt that
there will be a sharp contest for the nom
ination in the convention of each party,
and an earnest struggle at the polls.
It is thought BInger Hermann will re
ceive the Republican nomination. We are
very doubtful of this. The man most fa
vorably recorded by Republicans of Ben-
ton County Is Mr. Divey.
of Marion.
Tt- ic Mt thof Wprmann. now. after 2S
consecutive years of office holding, should
be permitted to take a rest. There are
even those unkind enough to add that
such a rest should be sufficiently pro-
longed to enable him to rebuild the
bridges he so heroically burned down
when he left the party for 16 to 1 and
free coinage. Others would be satisfied if
he should rest until he comes Into better
odor with the present National Adminis
tration.
M. S. Woodcock is not of these. Al-
ready he has "vollled and thundered" In
the columns of his paper, the Corvallis
Gazette, in behalf of Mr. Hermann, and it
is thought probable that last 'Wednesday
nlght he succeeded in convincing the
gentai BInger that old Benton would
give him seven votes in the convention.
Of course, Mr. Hermann is not work
ing for the nomination; but is simply in
the hands of his friends. He has ample
reason, if the Gazette is a fair sample
of them, to say; "God preserve me from
my fool friend." BENTON.
TAXES' ON TIMBER LANDS
atARiorr county's assessor will
AT LEAST DOUBLE VALUATION.
Hard te Obtain Actual "Worth, for
"Deeds to the Property Often Shavr
& Very Low Consideration.
SALEM, March 20. (Special.) County
Assessor Charles Lembcke, of Marion
County, intends to double the assessed
valuation of timber land in this county,
and in many instances the assessment of
that class of property will be more than
doubled. He will not attempt to have
timber land cruised, as will be done in
Clatsop County, but will, ascertain the
value by the same means he employs In
ascertaining the value of other real prop
erty. Last Fall he spent two weeks in
the eastern part of the county examining
timber land In company with a guide who
is familiar with the country and with
values. He was convinced that the as
sessments on this class of property have
been much too low, and for that reason
he will make the contemplated raise. He
expects to spend some time this Summer
in the mountains, giving particular at
tentlon to the character and quantity of
the timber.
In past years timber land has been as-
sessed at from 51 to JL50 per .acre. As
sessor Lembcke raised the valuations last
year, so that It now averages about $2 an
acre. He believes this is far too low. and
while he does not expect In the 1903 as
sessment to raise the valuations as much
as he might lawfully do. he intends to
make a start with a view to securing
proper valuations In the future. His chief
difficulty Is that in a great many In
stances when timber land Is sold the con
sideration In the deed Is placed at only Jl
for 160 acres. The only way to learn the
actual consideration is by inquiry, and
he has learned that in some cases where
the expressed consideration was $1 the
actual consideration was $6400. By con
sulting men who are informed upon the
market value of the different classes of
timber land, he will fix a rate of assess
ment which will compel the timber land
owners to pay more nearly their Just pro
portion of taxes.

BEEF TRUST' ROASTED
MISSOURI SUPREME COURT
FINDS
IT GUILTY.
Preof. Conclusive That Law Was
Broken by Five FirmsFined
$ 50OO Each and May Be O as ted.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.. March 20.
The Armour, Cudahy, Swift. Hammond
and the Schwartzchlld & Sulzberger Pack
ing Companies, the five defendants.ln the
ouster proceedings brought by the Attorney-General
of Missouri against the al
leged beef combine last Summer, were
fined $5000 each in the Missouri Supreme
Court today and ordered to pay the costs
of the -case, which amount to $5000. Unless
tne nnes and costs are paid within 30
days, the defendants will be ousted from
the state, so the court orders. The de
cision of the Supreme Court, which was
announced, by Judge Marshall, was unan
imous. The opinion says:
"Tho testimony introduced by the state
was abundant to show that the respond
ents (packers) were members, of a com
bination or pool to fix and maintain
prices."
The packers against whom this Judg
ment was issued have several branches
In St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph.
The opinion holds that the evidence ob
tained at the hearings shows conclusively
that there was a combination of the pack
ers to maintain trust prices on beef in
Missouri; that the representatives of the
packers met on certain dates to fix the
prices for the week; that rebating was
done; that tho same prices prevailed at all
the coolers at the same time; that no
competitor could enter the field against
the packers because the ccmblne would
undersell the newcomer out of business.
That opinion does not take up the
charge made in the proceedings by the
state of the sale of diseased meat. Much
of the evidence was to the effect that
the companies did sell diseased meat, but
the opinion of the court was based on
the violation of the anti-trust law of the
state.

WHEN ILLNESS COMES,
L0VEDIES.
Mrs. Ella "Wheeler Wilcox says there
comes a time in the course of married
love when "the thrill goes oat of the
handclasp and the kiss at times, and
it is then that husband and wife may
be susceptible to other magnetic per
sonalities." The reason for this con
dition of affairs is often the fault
of the husband, but how often is it
not due to the wife's nervousness and
irritabUity due to some trouble with the
organs peculiarly feminine the wife
under such circumstances feels languid
and spiritless she suffers perhaps from
headache and sleeplessness. When Jhe
love which united, husband and wife
loses its magnetic quality, and the wife
is constantly finding fault jealous and
worn oat with household cares and little
worries she feels irritable, and the hus
band loses his interest and fondness for
the family fireside, more than likely
romance has fled at the touch of illness.
The home may be jangled and out of
tune for years when the trouble could be
corrected easily and at once. Isn't
there disappointment and misery enough
in the average household without this
added burden of the sick and nervous
wife ? In more than 99 of such cases
the trouble can be corrected and love,
which should hold two beings in
THE BONDS OF MATRIMOKY,
returns with the same old thrill, and
the wife coaxes back the delicate color
and freshness to her cheeks the cheer
ful disposition, and the sweetness and
charm of married love come back to
her home even after the romance is
gone. Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
has solved this problem. For years he
made a study of the diseases of women,
their proper diagnosis and cure. He
finally evolved a prescription which was
eo successful in the cure of diseases of
women that he now offers $500 reward
for women who cannot be cored.
Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a rec
ord such as no other remedy for the dis
eases and weaknesses peculiar to women
ever attained, the proprietors of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500
in legal money of the United States, for
any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weak
ness, Prolapsus, or Falling of "Womb
which they cannot cure. All they ask
is a fair and reasonable trial of their
means of cure.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
a remedy for the diseases peculiar to
women. It is a purely vegetable prepara
tion and cannot disagree with the weak
est constitution. It establishes regular
ity, dries weakening drains, heals in
flammation and ulceration, and cores
female weakness. It is the best pre
parative for motherhood and makes the
baby's advent practically painless. It
cures headache, backache, nervousness,
sleeplessness, and other consequences of
womanly disease. It carries women
safely and happily through the change
of life.
"Favorite Prescription " has the testi
mony of thousands of women to its
complete core of womanly diseases. Do
not accept an unknown substitute in its
place.
I am convinced that you have a valu
able woman's remedy in your Favorite
Prescription ' and cannot say enough in
its praise." writes Mrs. Maeeie Davis.
(Supervisor of Loyal Lady Lodges of
Ontario), ot bt. Thomas, Unt. Box 542).
"It carried me through the change of
life safely, a condition which I dreaded
for years. The use of your 4 Favorite

I think Dr. Pierce's medicine the best in

to all who are similarly afflicted."
"During my two years of married life
I have not had good health," wrHes Mrs.
Daisy Stoddard, of 608 South Esplanade
Ave., Leavenworth, Kans. "I was all
run-down, and my husband got me to
write to Dr. Pierce and explain my case
to him and see if he could db me any
food. So I wrote, and, thank the Lord,
got an early reply telling me what the
trouble was. I commenced taking Dr..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, also "the
'Pleasant Pellets,' and now can say that
I feel like a new woman, and can. say
also that we haye a big baby four months
old. When the baby came it was just
wonderful how I got along, and now I
do all my work, and do not feel tired .out
like I used to. I have taken eight bot
tles of the 'Favorite Prescription.' It
makes one feel well and strong."
"I have found Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription of inestimable value," writes
Mrs. Ellen Alma Bryan (Treasurer Mem
phis Century Club), of 193 Vance Street,
Memphis, Tenn., "as a tonic for over
wrought nerves, or when one is troubled
with general lassitude and an irritable
condition, hardly knowing what the
trouble is. I was advised to use it
by a member of our Clob and the effect
on me was truly wonderful. Within
two weeks I was like a new woman.
I could eat and sleep as I have not been
able to for months, my nerves became
strong and the mental equilibrium was
restored as well as the physical. Your
medicine has my highest endorsement." '
"I suffered for five years with inflam
mation which caused -violent pain and
often torture so bad, at times that I could
not be about to attend to my daily du
ties," writes Mrs. Julius C. Bell, Bath
road, Kingston, Ont, "Life was simply
misery to me and I did not know which
way to turn for relief. Had tried doc
tors but found they did not help me.
My druggist advised me to try Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I de
cided to give it a trial and I am happy
to say that after the use of the hrst
bottle I felt bo much improved I decided
to take another and after that a third bot
tle. I am to-day a well woman, I have
perfect health, thanks to your medicine."
