BBBBBsl It Is not the present trouble, but the promise of the future, that is 'worrying the" lumbermen of the .Northwest. With a car shortage that begun to make Itself felt In June, lumbermen are estimated to have lost the sale of 10.000 cars of shingles ana lumber last year through inability to secure enough cars to transport their products to the Eastern markets. This year the shortage has been felt since Jan uary L At the present time there is a demand for 3000 cars in the Northwest to handle shingles and lumber, but the mill men are in a position to tide themselves over this dffilculty if anything was offered for the future. The Question of the shortage is now be ing discussed between the traffic man agers of the different railroads, and Vic tor H.. Beckman. secretary of the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Associa tion. Promise of relief has been given by the railroads, but the promise has not as yet developed anything substantial. In the meantime the lumbermen have begun a movement that Is expected to afford them some relief. They have ap pealed to the business men and shippers of all kinds to forsake water routes and order their supplies sent West by rail. It Is estimated Northwestern houses would use 10,000 cars a year if they shipped by on all-rail route, and the re ceipt of these cars would go a long way toward remedying, the situation. The movement has just been started In Portland, but at Seattle it has received the Indorsement of the business men's clubs and merchants' associations. In addition Washington mlllmen are sending out circular letters to all the houses with -whom they deal asking that rail ship ments be requested. "Seventy-five per cent of the trade In the Northwest can be traced to the lum ber industry." declared. Victor H. Beck man, secretary of the Pacific Coast Lum ber Manufacturers' Association and Wash ington Red Cedar Shingle Manufacturers Association, yesterday. Mr. Beckman is In Portland on a business trip, and, in cidentally, aiding the movement started among the business houses. "It can be seen. then, that it lies in the Interest of the business men themselves to order their shipments by rail," Mr. Beckmm continued. "If we could get those cars here it would save many of the smaller mills which otherwise, in a hard car shortage, would be forced to the wall. "We have commenced the movement at this time because the cars carrying prod ucts to the local merchants will begin to arrive in from two to three months. It Is at that time when the car shortage will be felt among the mlllmen most keenly. The grain season will have opened and the railroads will be rushing all their empties Into the wheat fields. Then, un less new earn are coming from the East, the lumber Industry will suffer great In jury. We cannot expect the roads to haul empties from St. Paul, but they would be forced to send out the loaded carsjf the business men will help us. The addltlonil cost to the merchants Is insignificant In comparison with the trade they will lose if they cripple the lumber Industry. "The shortage In equipment this year Is remarkable. Why. the Northern Pacific has only added 1000 new cars, while the Washington lumber trade alone Increased 17.000 cars last year, and fully 10.000 cars more could have been shipped if we could have received the cars. Do you know that the total shingle and lumber shipments from Washington alone amounted to 69,9:0 cars last year? One thousand new cars is but a drop In the bucket. "I am "afraid we are going to. experience this trouble continually until the railroads double-track'-their systems. The business they are doing now is practically up to the capacity of a single track, and they can not help very much even if they do order new cars. "Oregon mills are suffering in about the came proportion as those In Washington, and every move that helps the lumber in dustry Interests the entire Northwest." DENVER GATEWAY IS OPEV. Etrernl Railroads Are Wiiv on Equal Nyermi With Union Pacific. The Union Pacific has declared the Den ver gateway open to all railroads. This announcement has Just been received at the local offices of the Interested lines In Portland, and is regarded by railroad men as one of the most significant moves that has been made In recent months. The announcement means that the Bur lington. Missouri Pacific, Rock Island and Santa Fe will be no longer compelled to deliver their passengers to the Union Pa cific at Omaha. The Union Pacific has insisted heretofore upon the right to the long haul on all Union Pacific business east to points west of Denver. Last year a partial concession was made 'by which passengers on the Union Pacific were allowed to take the Rio Grande west ot Denver. The last concession throws the gateway open to all lines. President Slohler About to Retnrn. President A. I. Mohler. of the O. R. & Is en route to Portland and Is ex pected to arrive in this city some time Saturday. Railroad men have been deeply lnterested in tho arrival of Mr. Mohler, for it is believed his coming will facilitate matters connected with the extension of the Columbia Southern Into Central Ore gon. The details for this extension were left in tho hands of Mr. Mohler after the New York conference between E. H. Har rlman. Mr. Mohler and T. B. Wilcox, of Portland. It Is expected that shortly after Mr. Mohlers return there will be a defi nite announcement as to whether tho O. R. & N. will back the Columbia Southern In its extension or will build a line of Its own Into the rich East Side district. On Their "Way TCp the Colombia. B. S. Grosscup, general "Western counsel for the Northern Pacific, and R. B. Lch min. of Tacoxna, an Intimate friend ot Mr. Grosscup. are at the Hotel Portland. The two are to leave today for a pleasure trip up the Columbia, an excursion they have been planning for several weeks. It is likely they will go as far as Cascade, on the Washington side of the river, and will then make a trip into tho interior. On the excursion it is planned to live as much out ot doors as possible. Despite the fact that the Northern Pacific is gen erally understood to have interests near the proposed site ot Mr. Grosscup 's out ing, it Is positively denied that any busi ness ventures are connected with the trip. Fmuencer A sent Fee Is Back. General Psssenger Agent Charles S. Fee. ot the Northern Pacific, baa returned to Portland and will spend a day or two in this city. He only went as tar as the Sound when the other general passenger agents left Portland for their homes, and has made one other trip to this city since that time. Mr. Fee is taking advantage of the opportunity to check up bis road's business which the call to the Coast gave him. H'. D. McMillan. monism m A. "W. Burns. F. IV. Uergert. J. F. Alexander. DENTISTS WIN DEGREES TWEXTY-TIinEE GRADUATED FROM XORT1I FACIFIO COLLEGE. Judse Copies Addresses Class, Dr. XL. C Miller Confers Diplomas, Dr. John "Welch Delivers Charge. One of the largest classes in the history of tho institution received diplomas and degrees of D. M. D. (Doctor of Dental Medicine) at the annual commencement exercises of the North Pacific Dental Col lege, held ot the First Baptist Church last evening. It numbered 23. two of its mem bers being young women. A large audience was present, and many people were turned away for lack of room. The Interior of the church was handsomely decorated for the occasion. The annual address was delivered by Judge John F. Caples. who reviewed the history of dental surgery, and recounted the manifold blessings it has conferred upon mankind. The address was Interest ing and scholarly, and was Intently lis tened to. Dr. Herbert C Miller, dean of the college, conferred the class degrees by a few brief but impressive remarks, and Dr. John Welch delivered the charge to the class In a feeling address, which contained much good advice and encour agement. Frank Winfleld Hergert. vale dictorian, spoke for the class and acquit ted himself creditably. The musical selec tions were of a high order, and the entire programme was admirably carried out. Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer was unable ip sing on account of Illness, and Mrs. A. C Sheldon filled her numbers delightfully. Miss Leonora Fisher played on the organ two charming numbers. Hammerers "Tri umphal March" and Lefeburewely's "Fes tal Overture." Lauren Pease sang a tenor nolo, "Night Time," and Mrs. Walter Reed a contralto solo. "Shadows." both of which were heartily applauded. Lacome's duet, "Merry, Merry Are We," sung by Mrs. Sheldon and Mrs. Reed, was one. of the most enjoyable numbers of the even ing. The graduating class Is made up ot young men and women from all parts ot the Northwest, who have made an envi able record for hard work while In the college. The members and their class offi cers are as follows: Class officers Joseph F. Alexander, president: Fred A. Blackmore, vice-president: Frederick W. Hunt, secretary: Mabel K.

TO AROUSE PARTY SPIRIT HERMANN MEX EXDEAVOR TO HOLD REPUBLICANS IV LINE. "Will "Welcome Spirited Campaign ot Democrats Vlsltlnsr Politician Predicts His Election. Hermann people are concerned about how the Republican opponents of their candldato will rote. The sore places re sulting from Hermann's -nomination have been exteriorlly smoothed over, but have they healed? If a large body ot- Republicans should secretly vote for Reames, Hermann might be in a -very dangerous situation. Be and his workers will endeavor to arouse to the highest possible pitch the party spirit ot the district. They twlll welcome any efforts ot the Democrats which will result In defining party lines. Democrats will not conduct their campaign in a way that will drive recalcitrant Republicans back to the party standard. Many Republicans believe that Her mann, In declining Reames challenges to debate, lost a profitable opportunity to hold Republican votes. It the two can didates had campaigned' the district to gether, speaking from their respective party platforms, the alignment between the parties would have been made sharper at the polls. Besides, Reames would have been bound by common courtesy to for bear from assailing Hermann in a per sonil way. He would therefore have been Inhibited from attacking Hermann on the hitter's record as Commissioner of the General Land Office. Inasmuch as Democrats will conduct their campaign chiefly on Hermann's record as Land Com missioner, the challenges which have been declined are regarded as redounding to the advantage ot Reames and to the dis advantage of Hermann. Although the opponents of Hermann have accepted him as their candidate, some of them may not work very hard for his election. From Marion County come rumors that Gatch and Davey and their followers will put on a pretense of working for Hermann, and that they will passively oppose him by Inactively sup porting him. Other Republicans will go so far as clandestinely to "knife" Her mann when they cast-their ballots. Dis comfited Republicans In other counties, notably Linn. Yamhill and Jackson, are reported to be disposed the same way. But thej are not advertising their senti bbbbbVbK' iBbbbbbbbH BiVS!1BBrT ffBffBffBHBffBffBffBffBffB BBBBBsl - .'-1 2sl bbbbbbbb.

"Hermann will be elect ed." he said, "by a large plurality. Tho Democrats can't beat him. What will be his plurality? That's hard to say. It de pends on the number of Republicans that get out to the polls. But I don't see that the Democrats are more active than the Republicans. I saw a letter, ho'wever, up in Polk County the other day, written by Reames. It contained the native son plea. But I don't believe that such meth ods of vote-getting will accomplish very much. It's too much like peanut poli tics. "I think the Democrats will work quiet ly. They don't wish to array the Repub licans against them. They do not desire to make the cimpalgn Democrats against Republicans, but Reames against Her mann. See their game?" Dr. W. Tyler Smith, of Sheridan. Yam hill County, came to town yesterday. Like all good Republicans, he thinks Hermann will be elected. "By what plurality?" re sponded the doctor., "Let mo think. Real ly, that's a hard question to answer." Then he thought again and responded: "Hermann's plurality will be something like- 2W or 3000. Some Republicans will vote for Reames. but not many. Yes. I remember the Yamhill delegation to the convention was instructed against Her mann, but good Republicans in Yamhill will not oppose him now that he Is their candidate.'' - PERSONAL MENTION. II. G.
