Direct contradiction is made by the North ern Pacific Railway to a recent complaint to the Railway Commission relating to the alleged raising of rates on grain bags from Walla Walla to Riteville from 50 cents to S2 cents per 100 pounds. The company alleges it never had a 50-cent rate. Some time ago there was a rate of IS cents on carload lots, and 59 cents in less quantities, but this rate was consid ered "not defensible, consistent or reason able," and in the readjustment for a new tariff sheet the rate was advanced to C8 cents In carload lots and 76 cents In small er lots.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2B.-Hall Calne. the English novelist, was the guest of honor and principal speaker at a dinner given at the Union Club last night. Mr. Calne spoke In a tone faintly touched with mel ancholy, dwelling particularly on the In evitable passing of the favorite author. Mr. Calne again denied the report that he had como to America to study the gonus millionaire. "It Is wonderful," he continued, "to be a man of Immense wealth, to control the destinies of great masses of men. It Is yet more wonderful to be a states man, a position that has enabled your Chief Executive to stand higher than any crowned head In the world. But 1 would not give up being a novelist to be come either a millionaire or a President. I think, however, that when the great American novel comes, it must deal with the huge problems of the power and po sition of wealth. As for me. if I ever approach these matters, it must be only from the point of view of my tiny isl and, seeing as It were, a little. Yet, see ing In little, one often sees more closely and more finely." OLTXPIA. TTaah., jL eolL- McAHcn Still Giving Prizes.

Unusually Low Offer Is Suspected to Contain Loophole for Foisting Many Costly "Extras". on the City. A special meeting of the Executive Board has been called for this afternoon to consider, among other things, the ques tion of acceptance of the Pacific Bridge Company's bid of J133.753.45 for construct ing the Irvington District sewer. It is more than likely, however, that the board will be restrained by .court proceedings from making any award, as there Is a strong probability that some of the "heavy propertj- owners In the affected district will endeavor to .secure an Injunction to prevent the board from making the award to the Pacific Bridge Company, on the ground that Its old is irregular In form and affords no proper protection to prop erty owners. The different bids for the construction of this sewer were opened at the last regular meeting of the Executive Board, on September 22. It was found that the following proposals for the work had been submitted: Friberg Bros.. JISSSS'; H. How ard, $135,605.91; J. B. Slemmons, J1HSS9.SI; Packet, Gebisch &: Joplln company, 1144,134.18; Pacific Bridge company, $133,765.45. Company Bids for Extras. Considerable surprise was manifested at the time relative to the low figure at which the bridge company offered to per form the construction work, especially when It was considered that the estimates of Charles Panzer, who was city engl- j neer wnen tne specincauons were drawn. and who is regarded as exceedingly care ful In all engineering details, contemplated an outlay of $152,544. The bid of the Pacific Bridge Company was unique. Inasmuch as It failed to set forth the details In accordance with the usual form observed by other bidders. The company merely submitted a pro posal to perform the work for the lump sum of 1133,765.45. setting forth, further more.

NUMBER CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS, NEW YORK $3.00 YEAR no provision whatever for deductions for work not necessary. The property owners contend that It Is Just as possible, for these deductions to occur as It Is for some thing to be added, and that the city en gineer Inferred that changes were liable to take place Is shown by the fact that provision was made for It In the specifica tions. It Is claimed also by the property own ers that thcHack of a detailed bid offers too wide a range for tacking on a lot of extras, especially under the provisions of the contract, that permit an additional charge for "work that may be specially ordered by the city engineer to meet un foreseen obstacles." In case no Injunction proceeding Is brought to restrain the Executive Board from awarding the bid. the chances are that such representations will be made to the body as will tend to delay the mat ter until a full Investigation can be made. The sewer committee of the board, to which was referred the different proposals, at Its meeting on "Wednesday recom mended the acceptance of the bid of the Pacific Bridge Company for the construc tion of the Irvington District sewer, and In this form It will come before the full meeting today.

Lnw Must Be Enforced. PORTLAND. Spt. 28. To the Editor.) The conviction of VIHamn, BIks and Owner Is a demonstration to the world that the peo ple of Oregon are In earnest, and are thor oughly arouoed to the fact that the time has arrived for them to take decisive action In putting a atop to" the wholesale robbery of their public lando.. and to see that justice is meted out to those engaged In that kind of biMlnei. regardless of petition or eoclal standing. This feeling and determined atand against this cl&ss of lawlessness and that of robbery of public funds Is not confined to the people of the State of Oregon, but it prevails throughout the United States as well. And Thecdore Roosevelt put in motion this wave of reform along this line that Is sweeping across the country from the Atlantic to thl Pacific. N'aturally we all have a feeling ot sympathy for thece men, and especially for their fa mil U ci. but the laws of our land must be upheld and our strength and standing as a Natioa maintained. Our laws should be equal ly enforced. When anyone knowingly violates the law or falls to comply with the same ha should be punished accordingly. It matters not whether the offender be an ordinary persdn tn the lower walks of life with a suit of colled And tattered clothes, living in a board shack upon the banks of the .river, or whether It be a person dressed In broadcloth and oc cupying a costly mansion, provided with all. the comforts and luxuries this world affords. We have many wLre- and- Just laws upon our statute-books, framed and placed there by men who. apparently, are not willing that thev should be enforced. We should be consistent D. MILLER.
