ZJOS ANGELES, Nov. 10. (Special.)
The threatened excitement did not mate
rialize today, as Holllngsworth did not
appear on the field, and Morley and Ely
had only smiles for each other. The sen
sation put on Instead was the -whirlwind
work of the Los Angeles fielders and
the tarrific hammering they gave the
balL Shields was entirely Ineffectual and
was rapped for five hits In the second
inning, during which there was a steady
bombardment. y
Fre-am&n was strong at the stick for the
"Wcbfottcrs with two doubles. He held,
down his base In rare stylo and made the
best of 13 chances, several of them diffi
cult ones.
For a time It looked as though the "Web
footers would have to content themselves
with a series of blanks, but again Free
man came to tho rescue and saved the
team from utter disgrace. Up to the ninth
Portland was without a score, but a series
of hits in the final inning brought Free
man across the plate. Slow work on
bases was alone to blame that the ninth
inning was not productive of better re
cults for Portland. The score:

ALBANY TEAM IS IMPROVED.
Expected to Give Good Accounting in
Game Vfth Multnomah.
ALBANY, Or., Nov. 10. (Special.) The
Albany College football team is rounding
into shape to meet the clubmen on Mult
nomah Field next Saturday. The men
are all In fairly good condition, the rest
caused by the failure of the management
to secure a game for last Saturday bene
fiting the men greatly.
Albany's sturdy eleven will line up
against the clubmen for the first time in
the history of the Presbyterian institu
tion, and will endeavor in this game to
establish their standing among the lead
ing football teams in the state. Handi
capped by the lack of a coach, Albany's
excellent gridiron material has been very
elow in rounding Into good form, but
the game with the Oregon Agricultural
College indicates that the local team has
improved wonderfully against the game
with the University of Oregon.
In fact, tho team Is fully 50 per cent
better than it was when it went up
against the well-coached team at the
State University, and is improving all
the time. When the collegians line up on
Multnomah Field, they will be in the
pink of football condition, and will en
deavor to give the clubmen the hardest
game of the season on an Oregon field.
The Albany team will present about the
same line-up as in the recent game with
the farmers from tho Oregon Agricultural
College.

LISTEN TO THE WILD KAN!
Highly Original and Humorus View
of the Canal at The Dalles.
Salem Populist Journal.
The Oregonlan headlines had this Sat
urday, "Canal In Sight Engineers Adopt
Plan for The Dalles Cost Is Only 34,125,
000," etc
An open river at last, the unsophisticat
ed reader will say, If there are any still
so unsophisticated In this New Missouri.
Is there a child outside of the feeble
minded ward of the asylum that believes
the "canal push" mean a word of tho
above?
It Is corporation guff to bead off the
etate portage railroad.
Haven't they beerf""hurllng their "boat
railway" slush and "ship-canal" rot for
an open Columbia at the gullible public
for 40 years?
And the Inland Empire has remained
magnificently closed.
And the magnificent "open Columbia to
the Sea" has remained closed tighter
than a quohog clam in the presence of an
assembly of seagulls.
The Portland elevator trust wants the
Columbia opened so badly.
The fact that the Columbia raises over
100 feet at the rapids at flood time shows
that the whole canal project Is oversour,
scientific slop.
"Water piped from the Deschutes could
be 'made to supply a dead-water canal
that would not be affected by high water,
and cost not a auarter of the proposed
sum.
But something like that would be com
prehensible, attainable and reasonable.
But It would yield no graft for the canal
push, and it might be brought to pass
within a. lifetime.
A state portage railroad is the quickest
and most practical solution of the block
ade at The Dalles, and that should not be
sidetracked by this latest outbrust of
corporation procrastination and official
imbecilism.
The humor of the situation would dis
appear, and the pleasurable excitement
of throwing bljr projects in the air and
catching them, before they come to earth
would bo gone.
It wouldn't be safe to spring a scheme
that would cost less than $5,003,000.
An appropriation of ?250,000 would open
harbors like Yaqulna, Siuslaw, Tillamook
and Coos Bay to the ocean-going and
coastwise commerce of the Pacific, and
would benefit more than 40 canals, that
will never be built, or be 20 years in
building.
A "state portage railroad will bring out
all the products of the Inland Empire,,
but will not give the canal graft any
chance for 51,000,000 contracts.
The eminent Populist and Socialist, who
is editor of The Oregonlan, is probably
the only public man in Oregon wild
brained enough to believe in tho ship
canal, boat-railway at The Dalles.
He discounts even Silvery-Tonguod,
Long-Haired Harry "Watkins In his palm
iest days.
There was never a Populist paper in the
state wild enough to swallow that gag
for a moment, and they believed in the
Government doing everything, to putting
clean diapers on their babies.
There isn't a two-by-four paper in the
state that will copy the column of thistle
patch scourings about the newest Dalles
ship-canal plan.
Yet It is hurled seriously with eight
headlines at the business men of the great
Columbia Basin, a eolemnly intended press
fabrication.
It is no news to say that It Is only one
of a half-century of deceptions and cloud
bursts of dust to blind the people and
keep the great river shut in the interest
of a few corporations that are robbing
old Oregon of half her products, and pre
venting her development along every line.
GUILTY OF LAND EKATJD.
Prominent Callfornians Used Dum
mies to Get Timber Tracts.
SAN FRANMISCO, CaL, -Nov. 10.
(Special.) After deliberating for Just
three hours, the Jury in Judge DeHaven's
court this afternoon returned a verdict
finding all the accused defendants, four
in number, in the land fraud cases in
the northern part of California, guilty
as charged. Those who must face sen
tence, according to the findings of the
Jury, are: Arthur Kadle, W. N. Lewis,
James M. Engle and R. Lewis.
The specific charge was .subornation of
perjury. The defendants V were accused
of obtaining land by fraud and of using
dummies to secure the tracts. It was
alleged that the land was secured for
purposes of speculation.
The cases bear a clo3e resemblance to
those being tried in Oregon and attorneys
here assert thhey will have an Important
bearing on the Northern cases. The in
teresting point was brought out by Judge
DeHaven in the United States District
Court that acquiring land for purposes
of speculation can be reached by the
laws. This will be a serious blow to the
ring of grafters, which admitted specu
lation, but claimed to be within the law.
In charging the Jury, Judge DeHaven
said:
"The counts in this case allege that a
certain tract of land was purchased In
the Sacramento Land District by the de
fendants. The land was Government
property, and It is charged that the de
fendant filed affidavits that the land was
for his own use and was notjixmght for
speculation. If you find that he was
merely allowing his name to be used for
the purpose of fraudulently conveying
the land to some one else, then you are
charged to return a verdict of guilty.
"You understand, that a person can buy
land In good faith, and then in adverse
circumstances, can dispose of it to engage
in something more profitable, but when
the Intention is not to acquire, but to
transfer to another, for a consideration,
then, gentlemen, that is in violation of
the Congressional laws."
Judge DeHaven ordered the defendants
to appear tomorrow for .sentence. The
defendants are men well-to-do and owners
of tho Roberts Lumber Company, the
Boca & Loyalton Railroad and sawmills at
Loyaltoh, in the heart of a rich sugar
pine district. (

California Lad Gets Decision.
Over Seiger.
CLEAR LEAD ALL BUT ONCE
New Yorker Is a Game Man, and Hia
Ability to Take Pun'ishment Is
Marvelous Presents a
Pitiable Appearance.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. lO.-Jlmmy
Britt, tho California lightweight, easily
secured the decision tonight over Charlie
Seiger, of .New York. Thero was no stage
of the contest in which the lssuo was in
doubt In all but the fourteenth round,
Brltt had a clear lead. He outpointed, out
boxed and outgeneraled Seiger at every
stage of the game.
Britt created havoc with Selger's stom
ach with left hooks, which he landed time
and again. He varied this during the lat
ter stages of the contest by working hj
left to the face and soon had Seiger bleed
ing copiously from, nose and mouth. Britt
timed his blows to a nicety, and seldom
failed to reach some portion of Selger's
anatomy.
The fourteenth round was tho only ono
in which Seiger had a chance. Toward
the close of this round, ho succeeded in
landing two wild swings on the Callfor
nlan's jaw, one partially flooring him and
the second sending him to his knees. The
bell rang at this stage, but Brltt went to
his corner without showing signs of dis
tress. He came up fresh In the fifteenth
round, and once more began his plan of
outpointing the Easterner.
From this on, Britt seemed to grow
fresher and as the fight advanced there
was a noticeable increase In the power be
hind his blows. Brltt employed fils left
almost contlnuousl throughout the fight,
but when the ponIng presented he used
his right to great advantage.
Seiger put up a game fight and his abil
ity to take punishment was marvelous.
Time and again he seemed on the verge
of going out for good, but always came
back and forced the fighting. Brltt left
the ring without a mark, while Seiger pre
sented a puiaoie appearance as ho tottered
from the ring. His mouth, nose and
eyes were badly cut and his body plainly
showed the effects of Brltt's left hooks.

land"; that the Southern Pacific appears
to look upon Portland "as a way station
and upon tho State of Oregon as too
sparsely settled and as of too little Im
portance to receive any particular atten
tion," and that "wrongs have been forced
upon the inhabitants of thi3 state by the
management of the Ha'rriman lines In
utter disregard of our crying needs."
The chamber does not blame local offi
cials of the company, "except, perhaps. In
being somewhat too supine, when
asked for relief. In not forcing on the
attention of their superior officers tho
seriousness of the situation."
All this is presented in a report of the
transportation committee of the Cham
ber. The committee avers that It has
made a full Investigation of the trouble.
Its findings were adopted by tho trustees
yesterday. The letter which will set
forth the situation to Mr. Stubbs con
tains the results of the committee's in
vestigations. ' with minor alterations
toward mitigated phraseology. It was
drawn up yesterday and will bo forward

The committee Is composed of 25 leading
merchants and shippers of Portland, as

a manner as possible, to the situation as re

growing from year to year, until tha present
year it has grown beyond all bounds, and has
finally angered the citizens of this community
and of the whole State of Oregon.
"Wo are credibly Informed that over ?100,
000,000 has been expended by the management
of the Harrlman lines in the immediate post
for new tracks and equipments and betterments
of all kinds, and we can say truthfully that
the .system between tha California, state lino
and Portland has not received, its due pro
portion of this fund. Its tracks aro bo poor
no time can be mode", and trains are run upon
a 25-mile-on-hour schedule through the length
of the Willamette Valley, bo level a country
that with good tracks and proper motive power
40 miles an hour could easily be maintained
without extra rl3k.
"Its emrines aro so small and so old that
they can. neither be operated at sufficient
speed economically to conduct tho business
nor have they power enough to haul trains
of tho size and tonnage tha present age de
mands, and we- are informed by a local of
ficial tha,thelr number In Orogoa Is so small
that S0O loaded care are now lying on the
company's own sidetracks.
"Its freight cars are too old-and too small,
its passenger coaches antiquated, and the Pull
man coaches aro the oldest and dirtiest run
ning in and out of Portland, and probably out
0 any terminal city.
"But the chief causa of complaint is the
gross inadequacy of both motive power and
rolling otock. Patrons of the company la more
than one instance have waited four to six
weeks to get one- car to transport local freight.
"The carload freight business between Ore
gon and California has been practically aban
doned. Local freight from this city to South
ern Oregon is so conducted that it frequently
takes a week to get shipment up tho line a
distance of 300 miles.
Lumber Mills Forced to Shut Down.
"Lumber mils here and In tho interior have
bean forced to ehut down. Flour mills in
the country hich have made future contracts
to deliver flour have been mulcted in large
sums for nonfulfillment of contract, one firm
losing 51400 because It could not get 4000
bushels of wheat from one station to another
(less than 100 miles) in four weeks.
"Ono milling firm in this city has had can
celed large contracts for feed because no cars
could be obtained, and ha3 bad only ono car
since August 1. The price of oats and feed
here and in California (which draws largely
from Oregon) Is abnormally high, because so
little can be gotten to market. A thousand
Instances of these wrongs may bo shown
wrongs which have been, forced on the In
habitants of this state by the management of
the Harrlman lines, in utter disregard of our
crying needs.
"We have been informed that shortage of lo
comotives in Oregon has been caused partly by
the withdrawal 6f over 40 engines from bervice
on other parts of the Harrlman system for use
in the Ogden cutoff; that Oregon is made to
suffer because great attention has been paid
to making the service as nearly perfect as pos
sible where the Southern Pacific road comes
into competition with the Atchlaon, Topeka &
Santa Fe Ballroad. and that during all the
time of this car shortage this season some aO
or 60 freight cars have been lying idle on the
tracks of the Corvallls & Eastern Ballroad,
which could have been obtained by hiring them,
but that the needs, the absolute necessities of
the people, were overlooked because hire was
demanded by the line owning the cars.
Whole People Feel Enraged.
"It may be that these are only rumors, and
that facts have been exaggerated; but this Is
not a rumor, nor Is It an exaggeration, name
ly, that no adequate provision has been made
for hauling traffic which is offered, that the
service Is grossly inadequate, and that the
whole people now feci so enraged that any
rumor may receive credit.
"It will be useless for the Southern Pacific to
tell the people that the shortage is no worse
here than elsewhere, that more engines and
cars for Oregon service are unobtainable, that
the road between here and San Francisco is
not a paying investment; for none of these al
legations would be strlcUy true. First, be
cause when cars are needed for the transporta
tion of hops and prunes, which are destined
for Eastern markets, and from which tho com
pany derives larger profits because of what is
known in railroad parlance as "the long haul,"
no unreasonable delay occurs; and, second, be
cause it Is well known that where the road
finds Itself in competition with steamboat lines
no car shortage stands in the way. Third, it
is notorious that there has been no car shortage
of any alarming magnitude at those points just
south of Oregon where the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railroad is extending its lines; that
no finer trains, nor better Pullman and dining
cars are in evidence, and that no faster time
Is made anywhere on the Harrlman system than
at those points of Us lines where competition
is met.
Ocean Route of Little Use.
"The Southern Pacific Company may answer
regarding the through traffic between Oregon
and California that there is an ocean route,
and It should be utilized; consequently, that
when our people find the rail system practically
paralyzed they should turn to tho sea; but thl3
only opens up fresh grounds for complaint, bo
cause another of the Harrlman lines occupies
the sea route, and has been neany as inade
quate In its facilities as the rail line. Goods
destined for California lie on our wharves from
trip to trip of the two small O. K. & N. steam
ers; and the local charges to Portland from
any point in the Interior of Oregon on the rail
line and the local charge from a California
seaport to an interior point in California on
the roll lino, prohibits the use of the ocean
route, except between Portland and a Califor
nia seaport.
"The situation appears to tha transportation
committee to be that tho Southern Pacific man
agement looks upon Portland as a way station,
and that tho State of Oregon 13 too sparsely
settled and of too little Importance to receive
any particular attention, and that no matter
what impositions are placed upon us. no matter
what wrongs and grievances we endure at its
hands, all can be amicably arranged after
wards." We also attach hereto various excerpts from
The Daily Oregonlan, showing to some extent
the damago that has already been done to va
rious Individuals and Interests.
We desire to Impress upon you tho necessity
for some speedy relief to the present situation
and that you take Immediate steps to prevent
I a recurrence of a like situation hereafter, for
any druggist. JNf&SE&.

River Competition Wakes Up South

INDEPENDENCE, Or.. Nov. 7. Spe
cial.) The Southern Pacific Is making a
great deal better arrangements since tho
boats have been able to handle the freight
from this territory. Prominent shippers
stated that they had sent hops East and
that it was understood and agreed that
they would deliver, the same in 19 days,
but that they would not make the trans
fers to tho other lines that was usual and
had kept the goods on tho road for over
30 days in some cases. They state, how
ever, that better conditions aro now exist
ing and ono man says that It Is undoubt
edly due to the fact that a large shipment
of hops was sent by one of the boats from
Buena Vista down the river for transfer,
and that If cars were not forthcoming
other shipments would follow.
Another shipper stated that he had trlej
previously to secure cars, but had b4
uname to ao so until the boats
scheduled to commence to run, wj

TO SUE THE SOUTHERN
Local Sawmill Men Charge Dh
nation in Freight Rates.
Local sawmills have entraired lermt
eel and are nrenarlnrr tn fiffnc snitr nn-a?
the Southern Pacific for dlaprimlnntinnl
freight rates in violation of tho InterstaS
commerce act. Tne lumbermen nrn n
unit In the matter and all will be cited In
tne complaint If the trouble l reaches tha
courts. They have telegraphed to Ben
Campbell, assistant traffic director of tho
Southern Pacific, for a conference, hopins
that Mr. Campbell can smooth over tho
difficulty.
The lumbermen point indignantly to the
$7.50 per ton rate on lumber to San Fran
cisco as evidence enough of discrimina
tion, in contrast with the $3.10 rate from
interior mills. For example, they cito
that the rate from Salem Is 15& cents per
100 pounds, and from Portland. 37& cents.
But from Portland to Salem, 52 miles, tho
local is 7 cents per 100. Consequently
It Is 15 cents per 100 pounds cheaper to
ship to Salem on the local rate.. 7 cents,
and then to reblll to California points at
15 cents, than to bill straight through
from Portland at 37 cento.
Portland sawmills declare that their
lumber trade in Interior California has
been entirely ruined.
