EE IS IN USE
Saves Farmers Five Cents a
Bushel on Wheat.
BUSINESS IS PROMISING
"When Shippers Become Familial
"With Rates the lload Will
Have All the Traffic
It Can Carry.
SALEM, Or., Dec. 6. (Spoci.iL) That
the oporatJon of the Portage Road from
The Dalles to CelYlo has resulted in an
increase of 5 cents a bushel to wheat
prowing farmers, who were able to
reach the Portage Road, is the report
made by Superintendent L. S. Cook, to
the Portage Railway Commission to
day. Not all the wheat that brought
the Increased price was shipped over
the Portage Road, however, for Mr.
Cook says that the O. R. & N. Co. has
met the cut brought about by the oper
ation of tnc state's railroad and farm
ers have profited In that way.
The O. R. & X. met the cut by ab
sorbing drayagc at Arlington and by
Vther means and thereby secured much
of the shipping. Only 1S.133 sacks of
wheat went over the Portage Road
during November, but more could have
been secured by seckieg contracts and
more, will b secured when the shippers
become familiar with the rates and
when boats are running regularly and
frequently so as to give prompt serv
ice. The outlook for business for the
Portage Road is good. In his report to
the commission Mr. Cook says:
In regard to future buslnrw!. I am In receipt
of a letter from J. S. Cochran, who ha the
etoamer Telephone, that he expects to have a
connection on the upper river, an Boon a
arrangements can be mado or a boat bullU
Captain E. IV. Spencer went over the upper
rlver route recently and states that he will
build a boat to connect with his boat on the
lower river. The Northern raclflc Railway
Company. I understand, has the steamer Han
Xord encased to do baulinsr both from Wallula
and Cclllo for camps on the north bank of the
Columbia. Camps are now being established
as fat as possible, and In the early- Spring the
company expects to have some 500 or 0000
men e.mployed. Wc thould pet a good share,
of their hauling of supplies, they owning the
Regulator line below us and all shipments
coming from Portland would naturally come
via their own boat line.
The Government contractors are beginning
to mix concrete now and will have sonic
2T.KK) barrels of cement, which have been
promised to our line. They will also need
ome 400 or 450 cars of rand from Itlparla
and Wallula, which we get a switching charge
upon- Merchandise haa not staked to move
freely. Inquiries arc being made dally re
garding rates and eonnectloni with the boats,
and, take It altogether, the prospects for fu
ture buslnewi Is very bright. In fact. If the
business shows up that appears In sight. It
will be all or more than we will be able to
tnke care of. with the present facilities for
.getting It up over the Incline at Tllg Eddy.
The wheat business, amounting to 18,13!)
facks the past month, riiould have been
doubled or trebled had proper stcp been taken
to corral It or contract for It at the reduced
rate that was put In. It Is my understand
ing that the ranchers realized at least an
advance of C cents per bushel to them on
nceount of the Portage being able to handle
the business. This. In the aggregate, amounts
tn a large Item.
The O. R. & N. Co. appears to have met
the cut In one way or another by absorbing
drayage at Arlington and reductions In other
ways, and contracted for the grain before the
fountain Ocm got down to do the hauling.
It Is estimated that there Is strac 20.000 more
rocks to move that lies tributary that wo
should secure.
The expense of operating the road
during the month of November whs
about $S1.i The receipts were $431.r9.
The rocHpts will be greatly Increased
with the larger amount of business,
without n corresponding Ineronse In
expense. The receipts by classes of
business were as follows:
Grain. 18.13!) sacks ...
Passengers. 30
Carloads. IS
Merchandise. H0.5.TO pounds. .
fSOrt.OS
, fl.00
7i;.ik

Total t $431,119
Improvements hove been made on
the road as experience shows the need
and the line will be In condition to
handle traffic expeditiously, improve
ments will be mndc on the Incline at
Big Eddy to facilitate the handling of
freight and avc time.

MONEY FOR STATE
PLANS OF THE "WASHINGTON
TAX COMMISSION.
Kcvcnuc to Come Prom Filing- ol
Civil Actions and From
Kccording of Deeds.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Doc G. (Special.)
The State Tax Commission is preparing
for presentation to the next Legislature a.
rovenuo-producing measure which will in
crease the cost of filing civJl actions at
law from 54 to 55 and dispense with the
present law of permitting the inaugura
tion of such actions by sorvlco of sum
mons without the filing of a complaint in
the clerk's office.
The fee of 54 now colleclM upon the
filing of a civil action goes to the County
Treasury, It Is argued by the Tax Com
mission that inasmuch as the state as
sists in the payment of the Superior
Court Judges to the amount of JM1.O00
annually, part of the feos should co to
the state treasury for the benefit of the
general fund. It is the intention to "have
the extra 51.00 as proylded for in the bill
r6 to the state
The Tax Commission's plan of requiring
Hults to be instituted by filing complaint
before service of summons Is made would
not only shut out a large number of ac
tions brought for pernicious purposes, but
would bring a revenue to both county and
state from many actions that otherwise
would have proceeded no further than the
service of summons.
In this or a similar bill the Tax Com
mission also proposes to present to the
Legislature for its consideration a meas
ure requiring County Auditors to collect
a fee for the state for the filing of each
Instrument presented to him for record
ing. Many thousands of deeds, bills of
sale and similar documents arc now filed
for record In oach county annually for
which county fees are collected.
The Tax Commission proposes that
upon the filing of each of uch Instru
ments a fee of from 30 to 33 cents shall
be paid to the state, the money to be re
mitted by the County Auditor to tho State
Treasurer. It Is hoped to add many thou,
sands of dollars to the state's revenues
by this method without placing any ad
ditional burdens upon the lax-paying
property.

GRAIN HIS RELAPSE
Victim of Prineville Town Mar
shal in Critical Condition.
SPEECH IS - INCOHERENT
General Sentiment or-the Town Con
demns Brutal Assault Made by
the Officer on Inoffensive
Young Rancher.
PRINEVILLE. Or.. Dec . (Special.)
Wllford J. Craln, the victim of the
unprovoked assault of Town Marshal
R. G. Harrington, is till confined to
the home of his fathcr-ln-law, John S.
Watkins, and is in a serious conldtlon.
Though guarded n strictest secrecy by
his physician. Dr. Belknap, it Is re
ported that Craln has had a relapse
and is now no better than he was sev
eral days after the attack, and his rel
atives, given temporary hope, have
grown once more Justly alarmed over
his condition.
Dr. Belknap, the physician, has stat
ed to inquirers that the injuries to
Craln were not of a necessarily serious
nature -and that his skull was not
fractured. He, however, has Issued or
ders that no one shall be allowed to
sec the patient and has forbidden him
to leave the house, even In the event
of his being able
Craln's condition was thought to
have Improved for a time, as he had
yesterday gained the partial ue of his
paralyzed leg, but It Is reported by
those who have been at the Watkins
home that this advantage was but tem
porary and that at the present time the
limb Is as useless as a short time after
the assault.
The victim has not yet recovered the
use of his sjcecb and talks continually
In an Incoherent manner. He has not
been able to give his version of the
assault and. unless he recovers the use
of his now paralyzed tongue no one
will ever know the exact circum
stances leading up to the attack.
The general sentiment of Prineville
is against Harrington and his brutal
deed. It was this sentiment that forced
the Sheriff to place Harrington under
arrest after Lytic. Crams uncle had
sworn to a complaint against him.
The authorities were loth to take ac
tion but were forced to do so by the
general attitude of the citizens. From
this circumstance it may be argued
that Harrington will be held to- the
Circuit Court by the grand Jury when
his case Is considered, thought the pre
vailing bollof seems to be that even In
the event of a trial no conviction could
be had by any Crook County Jury.
MUST GO TO THE PENITENTIARY
Reform School Not for Boy Over 17
Years of Age.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. Dec . (Special.)
Twc youthful burglars convicted in
Yakima County, were committed to the
Reform School without authority of Saw
and tholr commitments are void, accord
ing to advice given the superintendent of
the school by the Attorney-General today.
The boys were 1" years old and there
fore beyond the legal age limit at which
children may tv admitted to the Institu
tion. The Attorney-General advlws that
the two boys. Charles Hankins and Jaeph
Anderson, be not discharged, but be held
with a view to hating them returned to
Yakima County and committed to the
Penitentiary.
In the same opinion the Attorney-General
hold that three boys under the
legal age limit, who have been committed
by the Juvenile Court, provided for by
the legislature of IMS. were legally com
mitted. The question Involved was the
right of the Juvenile Court to select the
Reform School as the "suitable Inftltu
tlon" to which the law provides youthful
offenders may be committed.

MAIN ISSUE IS NOT TOUCHED
Eaton Contracts Arc Brought Before
the Supreme Court.
OLYMPIA. 'wash.. Dec 6. Special.)
The case growing out of the noted IL H.
Eaton contracts. In King County, whereby
Eaton was to receive half of all escheated
estate, amounting to a fortune, for serv
ices In acting as special attorney for the
county In settling such estates, was re
versed by the Supreme Court today.
The decision, while It In effect dismisses
the proceeding brought by R. O. Reed,
under which the lower court enjoined the
payment of JTCO) In warrants Issued to
Eaton, does not pass upon the legality of
the contract or of these or other warrants
I&sued under such contracts. The Supreme
Court simply holds that there was a defect
in the parties defendant In this particular
case. In that the present holders of the
warrants were not made parties to the
action and that the court, therefore, had
no Jurisdiction over the persons or the
warrants.

GinFTHEBE
Good Record Shown at the
Oregon Asylum.
SPACE IS VERY CROWDED
Appropriation for an Addition In
cluded In the Omnibus Bill Has
Been Held Up by the
Referendum.
SALEM. Or.. Dec 6.-(Spcclal.)-An un
usually good record in the curing of pa
tients haa kept down the number of In
mates of the State Insane Asylum and
has probably averted congestion at that
Institution. When the last Legislature
met, there was every reason to believe
that the construction of a new wing
would be absolutely necessary within the
ensuing two years. An appropriation for
an addition of three wards was made, but
the appropriation was Included in the
omnibus appropriation bill and was held
up by the referendum. Construction of
new rooms was therefore made Impos
sible. The usual rate of Increase In population
at the asylum Is 50 per year, and at that
Prate the Institution would have been
crowded to the limit before another Leg
islature could take action. Of late, how
ever, a large number of patients have
been discharged, and the total number
confined has not grown rapidly.
Should the next Legislature make an
appropriation for a new wing, containing
three wards. It will be at least two years
from the present time before the addition
would be ready for occupancy. There is
now room for SS more patients In the
men's department and ten In the wom
en s department. Lnless. therefore, the
present low rate of Increase continues, the
building will be full before the capacity
can be enlarged.
In any event. It win be necessary to
transform one of the men's wards Into a
ward for women, and probably it will be
necessary to use some of the men s smok
Ing-rooms for dormitories.
