THE. MORNING OREGONIAN,. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1906.
It
REPORT INDORSED
BY THE- MILLMEN
Testify to Facts Set Forth by
Chamber of Commerce
Committee.
SITUATION GROWS WORSE
Cars Become Scarcer Every Day De
epite Promises of Local Railroad
Officials Embargo on Wheat
Brings Some Relief.
Tne facts set out by the Chamber of
Commerce transportation committee In Its
report on the car shortage are verified on
all sides by lumbermen and manufactur
ers, who are suffering heavy financial
losses because of the Inability of the "rail
roads to supply rolling stock. That the
situation Is going from bad to worse, and
that. In spite of the protestations and
promises of the railroads, cars are grow
ing scarcer every day, is the testimony
of sawmill owners. That this is no fault
of the local managers of the railways is
admitted. The lack of adequate equip
ment Is laid directly at the door of the
maintenance and operation departments,
whose heads are far away from the scene.
Evidence of the unsatisfactory condi
tion multiplies and the testimony of one
millowner Is the testimony of all. Each
tells of utter inability of the roads to
furnish equipment, of promises long un
fulfilled and of overcrowded lumber yards
and financial losses. Neither Is there
hope of a betterment of the situation, at
least for a long time to come.
Railway officials have given up making
promises, and are awaiting anxiously the
delivery of more cars at the state line.
The situation was said to be a little bet
ter yesterday by Northern Pacific offi
cials. Southern Pacific managers have or
dered the delivery of 50 cars a day to the
Oregon lines at Ashland, in the hope that
this number will help some, but millown
crs"say this is not being done. In case"
this order should become effective it
would tend to relieve the congestion.
Benefit of AVbeat Embargo.
O. R. & N. officials say that the em
bargo on wheat shipments from the in
terior to Portland will Tesult in more
equipment for lumber-carrying and be
cause of this sawmillmcn will not care
, how long wheat is held by farmers of the
Inland Empire.
It Is a dismal picture that the sawmill
men paint. Now, when there Is a keen
demand for lumber products of all kinds
and the mills stand a chance to make
money, they find their business going to
the dogs because there is no way to de
liver the output. Mills situated on the
river, where ships can reach them, are In
great luck.
"We are In tad shape because of the
lack of cars," said F. II. Ransom, man
ager of the Eastern. & Western ljumber
Company. "Cars are inadequate to the
requirements. Lumber is piling up, and
If we do not get relief, we will soon have
to shut down. Terminal facilities here
are another unfortunate factor, and if we
could get all the cars we wanted, they
could not be handled In the congested
yards."
"We are short all the time," said Don
ald Mackay, president of the North Pa
cine Lumber Company. "We get lots of
promises, but they never come true. At
present we are shipping about all our
product to San Francisco by water. We
cannot handle much rail trade because of
lack of cars."
"Keeps Us Awake Nights."
"We are threatened with a shutdown
because we cannot get cars," said an offi
cial of the Curtiss Lumber Company, of
Mill City, yesterday. "The situation is
one that keeps us awake nights. , The
mill yards are crowded, and heavy loss
Is occasioned by the lack of equipment."
Manager A. L. Stephens, of the Pacific
Coast Coal Company, says, that If the
coal companies had to depend upon the
railroads, there would be a coal famine
in Portland this Winter. As- it is, he
says his company has between 10,000 and
20.0'O tons of coal on the way from Aus
tralia and British ColumBla in ships. On
this account prices will not be' increased
locally. Railroad men are inclined to di
vide the odium of the coal shortage by
saying the mines are shy on production.

Association, finds from the weekly reports
that come in from all members of the or
ganization that there Is no Improvement,
that in fact things are looking black. All
complain of the scarcity of rolling-stock.
NORTH BANK TO ' REACH SEA
Indicated by Purchase of Land Near
Kelso for Hill Interests.
That the allied Hill lines, through the
Portland & Seattle Railway, will extend
the North Bank road to the sea Is now
practically certain. This is shown by the
reported purchase yesterday of 13 acres
near Kelso, for which the railway paid
over J6000. The tract will be used, it is
understood, for a crossing over the Cow
litz River and for yards.
Negotiations have been conducted for
the past few weeks for -the tract just se
cured, and a condemnation suit was
about, to be started to secure the land
when terms were agreed to by Wal
lace Brothers,- the owners. Confirma
tion of the intention to build to the ocean
comes from other sources as well as
from Kelso. At the mouth of the Colum
bia reliable information Is obtainable
to the effect that the new Hfie aims to
touch Gray's Bay on the Columbia,
Shoalwater Bay on the ocean side of the
peninsula, and to reach northward to
Gray's Harbor.
Inquiry as to land prices below the
Cowlitz Is being carried on by the Hill
people, and South Bend reports verify the
extension of the road down the Colum
bia and up the coast to that point and a
connection with the Northern Pacific.
ORDERS NEW LOCOMOTIVES
Harriman Gives Baldwin Works
Contract for271 Engines.
The Harriman lines are placing orders
for a large number of new locomotives
for 1907 delivery. The Oregon lines are
to get their share of the new motive
power, it being announced that many of
the new engines will be put to work on
the O. R. & N. and the Southern Pa
cific. Orders have been placed with the
Baldwin Locomotive Works for 271 loco
motives, the delivery of which will be
gin next January. Ten of the new en
gines will be consolidated oil burners.
These, together with two coal burners of
the same type, are for use on the Oregon
Short Line and the Southern Pacific.
Twelve simple type engines, coal burn
ers, will be 1 delivered to the O. R. & N.
and Oregon Short Line. Twenty-four oil
burners and 29 coal burners will be
divided between the Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific, Oregon Short Line and Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation Company. An
other delivery of IX engines, 36 of which
will be equipped with oil feed and the
balance with, coal" fire :boxes, . will, be de
livered to the same roads.
This order of motive power is in ad
dition to equipment previously ordered.
Forty locomotives have been bought of
the American Locomotive Works and It
Is likely that the order will be Increased
to 75. This is in addition to an order for
90 engines recently placed with the same
company.
TO CONDEMN RIGHT OF WAY
Power of Portland & Seattle Railway
Confirmed by Supreme Court.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Sept. 27. (Spe
cial.) The .power of the. Portland &
Seattle Railway Company to condemn
for right of way purposes and the
trusteeship of the company were fully
confirmed in a- long decision handed
down by the Supreme court today. The
decision was in the case of the State
ex rel. Henry J. Biddle et al., peti
tioners, vs. the Superior Court of Clark
County, W. W. McCredie, Judge.
The decree of; the lower court was
modified so as to include the entire
farm of the Biddies in the assessment
of damages-to the property, instead of
only.- that portion through which the
right of way Is aslud, but otherwise
the decision of the lower court Is af
firmed. .
Cheap Excursions Next Year.
Local passenger officials were advised
yesterday by Northwestern representa
tives In attendance at the session of
the Transcontinental Passenger Associa
tion at Chicago that the special Summer
excursion rates from Eastern - points to
North Pacific Coast territory which
proved such a success this year, will
be put in effect next season. Tickets
will also be sold from Eastern terminals
to the Northwest at one fare for the
round-trip on account of the conventions
of the Christian Endeavor. Baptist
Young People's Union and the Good Tem
plars. Tickets, will be on sale from
June'20 to July 12. 1907,wlth final return
limit September 15. The continuance of
these rates Is expected to bring a large
number of people to the coast during the
coming year.

Y. M. C. A.-T. W. C. A. CLOCK. "ONE
TO
Meeting of Chamber of Com
merce Called for This
Afternoon.
SEVERAL PLANS PROPOSED
Strong Sentiment In Favor of Calling
on State Legislature for Ap
propriation In Aid of Ce
lilo Improvement.
A movement to secure financial assist
ance from other sources than Congress
for the early completion of the Columbia
River jetty, and to continue improvement
work on the upper river, will have its
inception at a special meeting of the
members of the Chamber of Commerce
to be held this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
It Is expected to be one of the largest
and most enthusiastic special sessions in
the history -of the Portland Chamber.
There is strong sentiment in favor of
the Chamber making an appeal to the
Oregon' Legislature, which meets in Jan
uary, to grant a large appropriation to
help along the work. Same of the most
Influential members of the Chamber, who
are deeply interested In the improvement
of the river, advocate that the Legislature
be called upon for a substantial sum, and
it is believed by many that the Chamber
will officially request this assistance at
the meeting this afternoon.
The work of Improvement at the mouth
of the ri-aer is now at its most critical
stage, and unless sufficient money Is
forthcoming to finish the Jetty its com
pletion may be needlessly delayed for
years. No less than $2,500,000 will be re
quired to complete the jetty and about
$400,000 is required to continue the work
at Celilo.
Prominent citizens of Portland who
fully realize the Importance of the work
at the mouth of the river believe that
the entire amount of the next-Congressional
appropriation for the' Columbia
River should 'be centered upon the jetty.
As stated by Lieutenant-Colonel S. W.
Roessler, of the United States engineers,
it Is inadvisable to begin the extension
of the jetty unless the whole of the
$2,500,000 Is available. He declares that to
extend the jetty without sufficient money
to complete it as rapidly as the work
could be rushed 'would be wasteful ex
penditure. He and other experts say that
the work Is of such a character that it
must all be done at once, and not piece
meal. . To appease those who are clamoring
for upper river improvements it has been
suggested that the state make an appro
priation to continue the work at Celilo.
It is believed that if the members of the
Legislature can be persuaded to do this
Congress will not hesitate to appropriate
the amount allotted to the Columbia
River for the jetty.
It. has also been suggested that" Instead
of - appropriating money for Celilo the
state make an appropriation for the
jetty.
There are also some who advocate that
the state buy dredges to operate at the
mouth of the river replacing those owned
by the Government, which are old and
worn out. Just what will be done at the
special meeting Is a matter or conjecture
other than that an aggressive and decisive
move of some character will be taken.
The entire membership of the Chamber,
which includes about 800 of the leading
business men of Portland, has been in
vited to attend the meeting. The call
Is made, pursuant to the by-laws of the
Chamber, in response to a petition elgned
by 12 members J. N. Teal, Henry Hahn,
L. Allen Lewis, Walter A. Goss, M. J.
Kinney, the Northwest Door Company,
Leo Friede, the Novelty Manufacturing
Company. A. H. Devers, Lewis & Lewis,
Edward Newbegin and S. M. Mears. The
petition is to President Hoge, and fol
lows: We, the undersigned membert of the Cham
ber of Commerce, reepectfully request you to
call a general meeting of Its members to con
sider ways and means to forward speedy con
struction and completion of Improvements under
control of the general government now In
course of construction on the Columbia River
at its mouth.
Become Effective October 20.
It is understood that the new distance
tariffs to all points on the Harriman
system in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
Montana will become effective October 20.
t- A
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-OXE THOUSAND
JETTY
BE
WORK
CONSIDERED
On that date the order of the Washing
ton railway commission making these
tariffs effective In Washington will be Is
sued, and it Is thought that the Interstate
rate will apply at the same time if the
authority of the Interstate" Commerce
Commission for the change in rates can
be secured In that- time.
BENNETT MUST ACT.
Board of Education Sends Ultima
- turn to Contractor.
Dilatory - tactics in the part of J. El
Bennett, who holds contracts for the erec
tion of the new Sunnyslde, East Twenty--eighth
Street and Holman schools, are
no longer to be brooked. At a special
meeting of the Board of Education yes
terday afternoon It was decided that the
point where patience ceased to be a vir
tue had been reached, and the contractor
will be notified that he must either give
up the Jobs or complete them with good
materials m a businesslike way, and with
out delay.
After reviewing the Inspection trip to
the Sunnyslde school and the other deal
ings with Bennett, the ultimatum was de
cided upon. Written notification will be
served on the contractor . that If he does
not proceed at once with work qjt the
three buildings the board will have 'it car
ried out in accordance with the contracts.
Mr. Bennett is given until Saturday even
ing at 7:30 o'clock to decide whether he
would prefer to finish his contracts or
let the Board do it. At that hour the
directors will hold a special meeting and
the reply of the contractor will be con
sidered. If the board does the work, It will
probably be carried out under the direction
of T. J. Jones, the supervising architect.
Bennett will receive, as a compensation
for what he has already done, the differ
ence between the cost of completing the
structures and the contract price. This
is the offer which the board has previous
ly made and he has refused to consider,
holding out for payment for everything
done up to this time.
Chairman Wittenberg of the building
committee reported that he had seen Ben
nett since the trip of inspection to the
Sunnyslde school, and that the contractor
had refused to discuss the matter or state
whether he intended to finish the jobs
or let the board take charge.
It was expected that a successor to
Richard Williams, who has resigned his
position on the board, would be selected,
but action was postponed until the meet
ing Saturday. It is hoped to elect some
one at that time, as Director Wittenburg
is to leave for a month's trip East Mon
day or Tuesday: otherwise the election
would probably be postponed until his
return.
Many names are under consideration
for the vacancy on the board, but no
definite choice has been expressed by
the members. Among those who were
mentioned for the position yesterday were
L. Therkelsen. Dr. A. J. Glesy, E. L.
Harmon, Joseph N. Teal, Tyler Wood
ward. J. C. Ainsworth and Rodney L.
Glisan. All of them, however, were con
sidered only Informally. It' 1s understood
that several of the men suggested do
not desire, the place and would not ac
cept It if elected. A unanimous -hoice
will have to be made, it requiring the
vote of three of the four members to
cause an election.
Several vacancies still exist on the
teaching staff of the schools, and Super
intendent Rlgler was instructed to fill
them by appointment One new room is
to be fitted up in the Irvlngton school,
two at. Portsmouth, and two at Arleta,
for which teachers will have to be ap
pointed. Mr. Rlgler announced the appointment
of Miss Cora Eastman to a position in
the Ladd school.
LIND CONCERT TONIGHT
Portland Violinist Will Be Assisted
by City's Best Artists.
Those who attend the grand testimonial
concert at the Heilig this evening and
the hous ebids fair to be crowded will
hear Slnding's remarkable concerto pro
duced for the first time on the Pacific
Coast. This -work which Mr. Waldemar
Llnd has mastered on his violin Is con
sidered one of the most difficult ever
written not only because of Its intri
cacies but more so because It tells a
story that the performer must thorough
ly understand In order to bring it out
effectively. Mr. Lind makes the violin
speak the lines more plainly than were
they told by a human voice, for he
knows the legends of the North, from
which the composer drew his material
for the concerto.
This, however. Is only qne of the many
excellent numbers to be rendered. Mr.
Llnd will be assisted by the best artists
In the city. Mrs. Walter Reed, the Lakme
Quartet, Mrs. W. EL Thomas. Mr. A.
Alexander, Mr. Dom J. Zan and Mr. E.
E. Coursen, favorites of whom none needs
Introduction to the musical audience that
will be at the Heilig this evening.
Advance tickets are now being exchanged
for reserved seats.
9 "
DOLLARS HAVE BEEN RAISED."
FIRST HALF RAISED
Grand Total of Association
Building Fund $171,776.
BEST DAY OF CAMPAIGN
Sum of $17,475 Obtained, Every
Dollar Pledged by Portland
Contributors Now on Broad
Koad to Success.
Yesterday's contributions to the T.
M. C. A.-T. W. C. A. building road
were:
Woman's eommlttee $ 6,190.00
Citizens' committee 9,140.00
Business women's committee 414.00
Young men's committee 2,081.00

Grand total 11XLT76.B0
When the soliciting commitetes engaged
in raising funds for the new T. M. C. A.
Y. W. C. A. building reported progress
last evening it was found that nearly half
of the total sum required had been se
cured. Yesterday was one of the most
successful days of the campaign, netting
J17.475. In consequence there was much re
joicing at headquarters, where the opinion
prevailed that only the unexpected can
now bring failure to the campaign.
Every dollar of the sumraised yester
day was local money. It was the largest
local showing yet made, the day being
exceeded only by Tuesday, when J10.000
was wired from Brooklyn by Fred Pratt.
There were five large donations. Balfour,
Guthrie & Co. gave J5000. The sum of
J4000 was subscribed on behalf of the
Henry Weinhard estate. Edward Cooking
ham, Flelschner, Mayer & Co., and the
Banfleld-Veysey Company gave WOOO each.
The showing made by each of the four
committees was excellent. The young
men's committee performed Its best day's
work so far, raising a total of $2681. The
citizens' committee raised $9140 while the
woman's committee was a close second
with $5180. '
Long before noon today it is hoped to
pass the half-way mark, $175,000. Confi
dence Is expressed that the close of the
week will take the fund well above $200.
000. Then, with a week to go, the com
mittee workers feel the balance can be
secured without great difficulty. In all
the successful campaigns of the past, the
closing week has been the most produc
tive. EXCURSI0NSJ0 SEASIDE
$1.50 Round Trip $1.50.
Until further notice the Astoria & Co
lumbia River Railroad company will run
an excursion to Seaside and return each
Sunday at the exceptionally low rate of
$1.50 for the round trip. This Is the sea
son of the year when a visit to the ocean
Is a source of pleasure and Joy never to
be forgotten. No smoke, dust or cin
ders, and plenty of room for all, giving
one a delightful trip along the shores of
the matchless Columbia river. Train
