4- OilS IDLE IN THE BAY CITY Balance in the Trades Is Much Disturbed by the High Wages Paid. ' MANY DESERT THE ARMY Building Veers Kroni the I'p-Town Sections and Dally Announce ments Are Made of Structures for the Burned District. SAM FRANCISCO, Oct. 7. (Special.) From the ferry to Twin Peaks is a hive of industry that has never had parallel. No one is idle. Idleness in vites suspicion when signs "laborers wanted" stare at one from a hundred buildings. The demand for labor still continues, but the general labor situa tion has greatly improved in the last few weeks. Strikes have been discon tinued and laborers are coming to the city by the hundreds. From the East ern States, Australia and other points they are entering. Almost every meet ing oi t:ie unions sees several new names added to the rolls. One union of caipenterb admitted more than 200 new members in a week. Wages continuing nigh have had a tendency to disturb the balance in the various trades. Nearly 1200 men have left the Union Iron Works for positions that yield more revenue. De sertions from the Army have become more frequent, a possible $4 or Jo a day proving more tempting than $13 a month, with the privilege of wear ing a uniform. Tne building operations are limited only by the supply of lumber and la bor. Building permits average S6, 100,300 a month and construction in all cases Is hurried. Construction for the most part is now confined to the burned district. In the first few months following the fire the need of immediate quarters was the require ment which pressed upon all the busi ness interests of the city. The result was a rush for the three most availa ble streets in the unburned section, Fillmore, Van Ness avenue and Golden Gate avenue. Ninety per cent of the construction was confined to these thoroughfares. All the vacant lots were built up, houses were turned into buildings for commercial purposes, and in the rush to secure immediate accommodations small attention was paid to the burned district. Looking for Business Center. Now, however, these streets have almost been built up to the limit of conservative investment. No great sums will be risked until the perma nent location of the city's business center has been determined. A few class A structures are being erected on these streets, but thev are theaters ntiri nfflo knlUIn ui-l in .... V.i; UUUUmftB, W1U nOt J sutter materially even should trade! t. iiiui uugniures on which thev are situated With the limit of safe Investment in the unburned section reached,-with in surance rates In these makeshift stores at 10 per cent, all of the city's energies have been turned to the district which was left in ruins. Daily announcements tell of fine fireproof structures, hotels, lodging-houses, office buildings, storesr warehouses, which will speedily rise from the ashes. In almost every case the method of .construction will show an Im provement. So great has been the number of build ing permits sought that the character of certain streets can already be determined. Third street, extending from Newspaper row to the Southern Pacific depot, will be lined with lodging-houses; Sutter street will be the home of office build ings and hotels; Kearny street will be graced with largo retail stores; Union Square will be fringed with office build ings, clubs and big retail emporiums, as It was before the Are. . Jars In City Government. Although making steady progress, the city Is advancing more by individual ef fort than co-operative action. There is friction among the city authorities. The Board of Public Works and the Super visors do more squabbling than legis lating and allow the city to drift. The police force was reduced out of a false sense of economy and an army of mur derous thugs has been turned loose among the people . . The public ' safety has been so threat ened that there Is a growing call for the reorganization or a vigilance committee. The city can hope for little relier at the coming election, as the bosses are in aosoiuie control and intend to install some of their pets on the bench. San Francisco has been sorely tried. Following the earthquake and -fire ame the welching insurance companies, then the street-car strike, then a plot to un dermine the city's financial standing. Following this has come the ruthless slaughter of pedestrians and passengers by the street-car companies, and the operations of murderous thugs, who beat men to death in their places of business on crowded streets. The city authorities resolve" and "view with alarm," but the street-car accidents continue and the thugs ply their trade as before. - The list of dead and injured from street car accidents since the April fire con tains almost 100 names. Three men in as many months have been beaten to death in the daytime in their places of business and no arrests have been made. Many Incomes Are Increased. , Despite all these trials, the city Is forging ahead at a marvelous pace. The relief corporation is soon to wind up its affairs and turn the relief work over to the regular charitable institutions of the city. Eastern capital is pouring into Cal ifornia for Investment. The Insurance payments, which now total about $150, 000.000. have filled the banks with coin. Eastern capital Is negotiating for the power plants which supply San Francisco and for the water system. Eastern banks have been studying the field and Eastern capitalists have invested in real estate. While real estate in the burned section has fallen in some localities, in others It has risen rapidly. Big money is being made here at the present time. It is nothing unusual to meet men who a year ago were strug gling along on a small salary who todav are enjoying incomes from $250 to $500 a month from leases. An extreme case is that of three men who leased half a block of land and have sublet at a figure which at the end of five years, the term of the lease, will have netted them $500, 000. These are merely facts, though they may seem Incredible to those unac quainted with conditions in San Fran cisco. Where three months ago every fifth man was a doubting Thomas as to the future, it is safe to say that not one man in a thousand has the slightest doubt today but that San Francisco will even eclipse her former splendor.

Wife of Invalid Husband Struggles to Repair Stolen Fortune. HOOD RIVER, Or., Oct. 7. (Special.) An example of devotion and tenderness is seen in the life of a lonely couple who have settled on a homestead in the Upper Hood River Valley, on- the east side, miles back from settlements and in the 'pine forest. They are J. Craig and his wife. About a year ago Craig came to Portland to make payment of $4000 on some land the couple had purchased. It was money the couple had saved through years of frugality. Craig went to Vancouver with his money on his person, but he was followed by thugs who beat him into Insensibility and took his money. The devoted and heartbroken wife took him back to their mountain home and nursed him back to life, but he will never be well. The terri ble beating he received has rendered him almost helpless, and the burden falls on the wife, and she has not faltered. A trail leads to their homestead along the steep mountain side, threading a way through the dense underbrush and forest, and yet she passes over it mostly in darkness at night, not caring to spare the time during the daytime. Yet Mrs. Craig has covered the five miles many times, although the timber is the haunt of bear and cougar. Her husband is not able to work- but the -'faithful -wife has gone to work to make a home in this wild mountain country anil retrieve the disaster. BURNED NORTHERN CANNERY George Rowan Brought 5500 Miles to Serve Sentence. ' TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 7. (Special.) "Over the road for two years," in the case of George Rowan, entailed a trip of 5500 miles by water. - Rowan burned seven men and $1,000,000 worth of prop erty at Coffee Creek in the Nushagak country, Alaska, lasfMay. He was taken last night to the Government prison -at McNeil's Island. In company with a number of Chinese laborers Rowan went last Spring to Coffee Creek to work in the Coffee Creek cannery. When he arrived at the can nery he refused to wprk.. The Chinese, however, secured work in the tannery in spite of his efforts. One night early in May, during a terrific windstorm, the cannery burst into flames and in a few hours was totally destroyed and the charred bodies of seven workmen were discovered. On account of threats which had been expressed openly by Rowan and his com panion, M. H. Lee, the twQ were arrested and Rowan confessed. The charge against him was arson and he waived trial. Lee would not plead guilty and he will be tried at the next term of court. LOCKJAW AFTER A TOOTHACHE Child at The Dalles Dies Soon After Disease Is Recognized. THE DALLES, Or- Oct. 7. (Special.) Robert Hutchison, the 6-year-old son of J. F. Hutchison, of this city, died here today under most singular circumstances. Wednesday last the child complained of toothache, and on the following: day was taken to a den tist, who found a considerable swelling-. surrounding a hollow tooth. He applied the usual remedies, but yester day the child became so ill that a physician was called, who pronounced it a well-developed case of lockjaw. Treatment by anti-tetanus serum proved futile, the little boy living but 2 hours after a doctor was called. This is the first case of lockjaw ever known in this locality. CHILD FALLS FROM A BOX-CAR Skull Is Crushed and Leg Broken at The Dalles. THE DALLES, Or., Oct, 7. (Special.) Oral Venable, the 8-year-old son of James Venable, of Wasco, . received what will probably prove a fatal in jury here this afternoon by falling from the top of a box-car at the Co lumbia Southern depot. The child struck on his head in a rockpile, frac turing the skull and breaking one leg. When taken to the hospital the brain was oozing from the head wound. His parents are well-known residents of Sherman County. VALUATIONS IN WASHINGTON Large Increase Shown Over Those of Last Year in the State. OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 7. (Special.) The total valuation of all property in the State of Washington, as equaliied by the State Board, is $630,209,882, an increase of more than $8,000,000 from the figures turn ed in by the counties, and an increase of $201,667,357 from .the State Board's equal ized values for last year. Railroad tracks are shown to have Increased from $20, 000.000 to $31,000,000. Real estate was in creased from $244,000,000 to $416,000,000 and personal property from $64,000,000 to $82,-000,000. SHAKE UP COMING New Apportionment Is Task for Next Legislature. BASED ON CENSUS OF 1905 Senators and Representatives of Ore gon Must Be Divided Amongst the Districts According to the Population. SALEM. Or., Oct. 7. (Special.) One of the duties imposed upon the next Legis lature by the constitution of the state is that of making a new apportionment of the state in Senatorial and Representative districts, based upon the census of 1905. This task will be a difficult one and in the end quite probably an unsatisfactory one, for the reason that the census is gen erally acknowledged to have been very Inaccurately taken in several counties. The figures are not yet complete and may not be before the Legislature convenes. The law does not fix a time within which the census returns shall be tiled nor does it require either the County Assessor or the County Cleric to make footings on the census rolls. As a consequence, four counties. Curry, Lake, Grant and Mor row, have not yet sent in returns, though the census was completed more than a year ago and a large number of census returns contained no totals. The work of computing totals has there fore been thrust upon the office of the Secretary of State, and the clerks in that department are spending their spare time counting the inhabitants of the state as shown by the records made by Assessors, who are required to take the census. From the returns a general idea can be gleaned of the situation which will be presented before the Legislature of 1907, in making a re-apportionment of the state. Labor Commissioner Hoff has made a hasty count of the population of each county, according to the returns, and his figures are approximately, though perhaps not absolutely correct. The count is that of the entire population, whereas the apportionment must be based upon the white population. With the exception that Multnomah, Clatsop, Marlon and some other Western Oregon counties have more than an equal population of Chi nese, and Umatilla and Klamath have more than their due proportion of In dians, the entire population is distribu ted in practically the same ratio as the white population. The population of the several counties, as computed by Mr. Hoff, with the excep tion of Curry, Lake, Grant and Mor row, which are estimated for the pur poses of this article, is as follows: Baker le.SOT LInn Benton 6,751Malheur ... Clackamas ... 20,478 Marion ..... Clatsop 15,27'J Morrow Columbia 7.163 Multnomah Coos 11.752 Polk Cook 4, fi sherman ., Curry 1.900 Tillamook . Douglas 16,042 'Umatilla ...

Where a county has not the population to entitle it to a member it may be attached to some adjoining county in forming a district. No county can be divided in forming a district. Now, if 30 Senators and 60 Representa tives be appointed among counties having a total population of 463,538, the ratio of apportionment will be one Senator for each 15,434 inhabitants and one Represen tative for each 7.717 inhabitants. With this In view w.e shall see that the apportionment of 1907 is likely to result in a general shaking up, for the present apportionment of Senators and Representatives is as follows: Senators Marlon . 2 Clackamas 1 Linn lj WaahlnKton : 1 Marion.

Tillamook. 1; Gilliam, Sherman, Washington 3i Wheeler 2 Clackamas 31 Wasco 2 Referring again to the ratio and tho table of population, it is seen, for ex ample, that Baker County now shares a Senator with Malheur and Harney, where as It Is entitled to one alone. On the other hand, Benton County has a Sen ator alone, although the census returns do not entitle the county to that power in the State Senate. Marlon has two Senators and one joint, but is only en titled to two. By strict construction Lane is entitled to two alone, though it now has but one and one-third. Multnomah, which has five alone and two jointly, is entitled to about eight alone, unless the colored and Chinese population cuts down the white popula tion too much. Union is entitled to one alone, but shares with Wallowa. Polk has one alone, but it Polk and Benton were joined they would have scarcely more than population enough to entitle them to one Senator. Much the same situation is presented with regard to Representatives. Marion has five, but the census returns entitled the county to only four. Clackamas has three and one Jointly, but is only entitled to three. Linn has three but could very reasonably be expected to share one of them jointly with Lane, which Is entitled to more than three. Mutnomah has twelve and one Jointly, but is entitled to about 15 or 16. Umatilla has two Representa tives and one jointly, but comes nearer being entitled to three than does Linn. Union is clearly entitled to two but has only one and one jointly. Washington has three but would have a hard time defending her right to more than two. An examination of the present appor tionment and the relative population as shown by the census, indicates the trou ble the Legislature Is likely to have in making a new apportionment, for no county will be ready to give up represen tation and every county that has not its full share will be clamoring for Justice. It is common knowledge that in the past the districts have been formed for the purpose of increasing the representa tion from strong Republican counties and joining Democratic counties with Repub lican counties strong enough to outvote them. In some instances, too, tne joint districts, have been formed In the in terests of political workers who could gain something by the selection of United States Senators. Now the Senator has been elected by the people and the Legis lature is facirig a Democratic Governor who probably won't stand for any appor tionment bill that places a handicap upon the people of his party. The Constitution plainly makes it the duty of the Legislature of 1907 to make an apportionment of representation based upon the census of 1905, and It Is up to the members of that body to figure out a fair distribution. CONTEST IS ACTIVE. Gray's Harbor Towns Are Liberally Placarded! ABERDEEN, Wash., Oct. 7. (Spe cial.) Undoubtedly one of the most Interesting and the liveliest county seat removal contests ever witnessed on the Pacific Coast is In progress on Gray's Harbor. It is proposed to remove the county seat from Montesano to a point mid way of Hoquiam and Aberdeen. For years it has been the ambition of Ho quiam and Aberdeen people to live In the county seat, but neither town was able to carry the project without the aid of the other. Aberdeen has out stripped Hoquiam in population, and yet Hoquiam would not consent to aid Aberdeen in its plan for removal. Finally, the business men of the cities compromised by agreeing to vote for removal, provided the Courthouse was placed between the towns. In case the vote is favorable. Hoquiam gets the honor of being the county seat, for the reason that the strip of land se lected is within its territory, but Ho quiam has had to put up money for the ground, which It 'has done in the sum. of $10,000. Now the fight is on and the terms compiled with. Meanwhile Montesano people have not been slow, and they are active also in opposition, alleging that large ex pense will follow the removal of the county seat, and that the farmers will be taxed high to support and pay for a new building. Aberdeen, Hoquiam and Cosmopolis store windows and many private residences are placarded with large pasteboard signs, declaring that the persons back of the windows favor county-seat removal, until the three towns look at a casual glance as if everything was for sale. For years, also, Aberdeen has been endeavoring to build a road to connect with one which the county has built to the city limits, in order that the people in the eastern part of the coun ty may get to Gray's Harbor. There has been an almost insurmountable barrier to the Aberdeen part of the undertaking, on account of a tremen dously high bluff which guards the entrance to the city at the east. The great cost of pushing this road either over the bluff or around it by the Chehalis River has kept the city from undertaking the project, but those who oppose county-seat removal are hold ing the road proposition up as a whip to keep the scheme from carrying, alleging- there is no way into Gray's Harbor. The Chamber of Commerce and the Council, however, nothing daunted by the cost of the road, some thing like $20,000, have taken steps to push it through, and the first work toward carrying it on was done the past week, when a contract for a bridge was let. The Northern Paciflo Railway Company has tried to hold the city up, also, by threatening to enjoin the municipality from building the road unless It agreed not to allow any other road to lay rails over it. In this dilemma the city has acquiesced in the railway's demands, and that obstacle has also been overcome. In the meantime the fight for re moval goes merrily on, and every voter is being brought into line for register ing until the election registration books are swelled to a point almost bursting. FOR NATIONAL APPLE DAY CORRESPONDENT WANTS DAV SO DESIGNATED. . Suggests That AppIegrovr-rs Meet in Interest of Fruit Culture on Third Tuesday in October. QUINCY. 111., Oct 4. (To the Editor. At the last meeting of the Oregon State Horticultural Society I had the pleasure of sending in a communication requesting the organization to co-operate with other state horticultural societies and also with national fruit organization In fixing upon fhe third Tuesday of October, to be observed annually and perpetually as National Apple Day. I was much gratified to receive an offi cial letter from Secretary E. R. Lake, of Corvallis, saying that the society had not only passed a resolution heartily concurring with the movement, but had also passed a second resolution expressing thanks for having attention called to the subject. The date specified is rapidly approaching and it is to be hoped that there will be good reports from the great apple State of Oregon, showing that the. day was duly observed. The first resolution In favor of having such a day was adopted by the New York State Fruit Growers' Association and since then a strong tide of public opinion in its favor has swept all pver the country, and as there were no ob stacles to stay its course, it has followed that nearly all state, district and coun ty horticultural societies have declared in its favor and national fruit organiza tions have also given the measure the most hearty and decisive consideration. No specified rules have been formu lated for observing the day. There are widely diverse conditions in the widely separated apple belts and the manner for observing the day is left entirely to the choice of individuals and societies. There is a strong confidence, however, that the day will be observed all over this country and Canada, and that the results will be marked by many benefits. When the idea of having the day was conceived it was suggested by the fre quent failures of the apple crop in the Middle West and in Eastern States and it was thought that a concentration of effort and a due investigation of the causes of failure would open the way to more promising results and give sub stantial encouragement to roiling masses engaged In cultivating orchards. Should Utilize By-Products. In the sections of country referred to this year conditions have been reversed. There seems to be a superabundant crop of apples and the prices offered for fruit in too many instances are not sufficient to warrant the outlay of picking, sort ing, barreling and marketing. The apple growers have not been sufficiently trained along the line of utilizing the available by-products; hence many practical ques tions will come up for consideration all over the country and the problem con fronting the people as to what should be done with the too abundant crop should receive a satisfactory solution. It is anticipated that there will be a general diet of apples all over the coun try on apple day and that many new ways for cooking and preparing the fruit will be devisedjg If this measure should be fulfilled it w?uld take at least a half million barrels of apples to supply the demand for the occasion. Then it would be morally certain that If the people should be made more familiar with the wholesome qualities of the fruit it would come into more frequent use for family service. It seems to be a sad condition when apples in hundreds of orchards are rotting for the lack of a purchaser that there are thousands of people in the large Middle, and Eastern cities who never taste an apple from one year to another, as they are held at prices too high to be reached. The fact, however, is recognized that the market is never glutted with the best of fruit and on a day devoted to the pro motion of its Interests experts should disseminate information, influencing apple-growers to higher standards. On such a day those who contribute to the sup port of orphan homes, hospitals or asy lums of any character should include in their gift a generous supply of this fruit for the long Winter season. In fact, there are hundreds of ways In which the day could be properly ob served and It would seem like either as sumption or presumption for one living rar away from Oregon to suggest ideas as to how the experienced apple-growers there should observe the day. It is hoped, however, that they will observe the day In a suitable manner and render splendid service in enthroning the apple as the King of Fruits. JAMES HANDLY.

Pursuant to an ap peal issued recently by Bishop Alexander Walters, of the African Zion Methodist Episcopal Church, prayers were offered in practically all of the Negro Protestant churches in this city today for more cor dial relations between the white people and the negroes of the Southern 9tates. In some instances the racial problem formed the theme of the pastor's sermon. In his appeal to, the negro preachers to make a special prayer in all churches in the country today. Bishop Walters de clared that recent race riots In the South have given evidence that the whites were attempting to "degrade and destroy 10, 000,000 American citizens." AT THE HOTELS. The Portland H.
