la THE MOOISG OKEGOMASi, WEDNESDAY. JULY 24, 1907. INT S CENT FARE Milwaukie Will Appeal to Rail road Commission. SET UP DISCRIMINATION Citizens Hold Mass Meeting and Re solve to Take Action When Intercession by State Officers Fail. At a mass meeting held last night In the City Hall at Milwaukie It was . decided to file a complaint with the State Railroad Commission against the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany, charging the company with dis criminating against Milwaukie by charging a 10-cent fare to and from Portland. Mayor William Shlndler pre sided ajid J. W. Grasiey acted as sec retary Mayor Shlndler in a few words net forth the purpose! of the meeting, which was called to consider the reply of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company to the petition that was filed with the Railroad Commis sion two weeks ago asking that the Commission Intercede to secure a five cent fare for Milwaukie, a concession which the railroad company declined to grant. Secretary Grasiey read the reply, which wa signed by F. I. Fuller, gen eral manager and vice-president of the railway company. In general, Mr. Ful ler undertakes to show that there has been no discrimination against Mil waukie in the matter of fares. It Is admitted that St. Johns and Lents sre further away from Portland, than Mil waukie, and have been given a five cent fare, but it is contended that the long hauls are made at a loss, which is counter balanced by the fares 'of pas sengers who travel only a few blocks. It is intimated In the reply that the company does not make money on its Bt. Johns line. I Now Has 7-C'ent Fare. The reply points out that Milwaukie can buy commutation tickets for seven cents to Portland, which was less than two cents a mile for the distance from the heart of the city. The reply was made to the Railroad Commiesion and Mayor Shindler had been furnished with a copy. After the reply had been read Philip Strelb gave a short history of the ef forts that have been made for three years past to secure a five-cent fare. Mr. Streib declared pointedly that a five-cent fare had been promised, first by Manager Hurlburt. and then by the late Mr. Goode, Mr. Hurlburt retiring before the promise was made good, and Mr. Goode flying before he could ex amine Into the conditions. The com mittee had held many conferences with Manager Fuller, and was finally ad vised by the latter to bring the mattet 1efore the Railroad Commission, and this was done. Mr. Strelb said that he had been informed that Mr. Fuller in tended this advice an a Joke and did not expect the Milwaukie people would go that far. but they had followed the advice and would fight It out. Mr. Strelb said that the people wanted no fight with the railroad com pany if It could be avoided, but were after the five-cent fare, and would go to any necessary lengths to get it. Richard Scott called attention to the fact that the O. W. P. gives a five cent fare to Nlckum's Station, on the Gresham line, which is further away than Milwaukie. Full Discussion Had. After full discussion of the situation it. was decided to file a formal com plaint before the Railroad Commis sion, and for this purpose the following committee was appointed: Mayor Wil liam Shindler, Richard Scott, Phillip Strelb. J. "W. Grasiey and J. N. Snyder. The committee was authorized to file the formal complaint at once. A hear ing will be had In the City Hall of Mil waukie at such time as the Railroad Commission may fix that will be agree able to both sides. Milwaukie has about 600 people, and It is estimated that the population would double inside of a year If it had a five-cent fare to Portland; also that the streetcar traffic would more than double. The town is Incorporated, and It was announced that a careful Investigation was being made Into the franchise the street railway company holds in Milwaukie. DEPUTY MMNTOSH QUITS Employe of Sheriff's Office Chargjyf Loose neps of System. Deputy Sheriff W. TV. Mcintosh ten dered his resignation yesterday. The let ter, which was mailed to Sheriff Stevens yesterday morning, is as follows: After over a year of faithful serrioe under you, I hand you herewith my resignation, as cashier of the tax collecting department. In doing this I have but little comment to make. X have the satisfaction of knowing that I have done my work faithfully and honestly. I have never by word or deed done aught to bring discredit on the office or on any Individual. For some time I have observed conditions tn connection with the office that I fear will, in time perhaps, culminate tn a scandal which might place some one la a very unfavorable petition. The system, or rather the lack of it, that Is now present In the tax office has become so apparent that In Juatlce to myself and to those I owe the moat I prefer to give up my position rather than remain longer.

REVIEWS FUEL CONDITIONS Albina Dealer Denies Existence of a Monopoly. PORTLAND. July 23. To the Editor.) I should like to reply to Rev. Everett M Hill's remarks ahout the fuel trust. There Is no corner on the wood busi ness It is simply a question of supply tnd demand. Five years ago. when Port land did not have nearly the population ihe now has. the price of green slab wooi was $2.26 in thl part of the city. Now It' is selling for J2.50. At that time the undersigned thought there was a chance to make some money in the busi ness and went down the river to the first sawmill proprietors and inquired if they had any slabwood to sell. We con tracted for their wood and have been bringing it in at the rate of from 40 to 80 loads daily .ever since. We invested our money, bought wagons and teams, rented docks and storage grounds and filled up this part of the city with wood. Then after awhile wood went down. The mills doubled their capacity and cord wood was only $4 per cord. Then from that lime till last Winter we sold wood from $1.73 to $3, owing to the distance we had to haul it. There was nothing in it for us, but we kept at It, knowing that the time would come when there would be a change. Less than one year ago we were anxious to sell our business. We offered It at $2000 less than it had cost us and finally I bought my partner's interest ' for less than he had In it. Up till this Spring, in cluding last Winter, we were selling green wood for $1.75 and dry for $2.50. Of course, when we went out farther we charged, according to the length of time it took to deliver the load. Then we paid $310 for a team for which we now pay $500. Our wagons and wood-boxes cost us $125 each; now you cannot get them for less than $175. Oats were Worth $22 per ton, now they are $28 to $30. ' Hay was from $10 to $12 per ton, and now it is $20 to $25. Then we paid all our help $3 per day. now $2.25 to $2.50 per day. As a fuel dealer I will not say one word against the plans of the Federated Trades, for I think they are doing Just the- right thing, and I for one want to congratulate them on their good judg ment and grit. It Is Just what I did when I thought wood was too high.. Go and "rustle" more to ship into town. Take up offers of stumpage. No doubt then the union scale of. wages can be paid and all hands make money. ALBINA FUEL. COMPANY, By H. Barendrick. Manager. PIONEER OF 1850 DEAD George M.

Beatty, of the cruiser Charleston, has sent the following letter to Captain Groves, superintendent of the Port of Portland dredge: Not having the opportunity to properly communicate with you In person, I desire now to thank you for the anchor brought by you to securely moor this ship. I further wish to thank you for the great assistance given me in lifting the anchors and kedges. unmooring the ship and turning us around when we left. With the facilities on board it would have taken us probably more than a day to lift the anchors, and it is at least doubtful whether or not we could have turned around without your help. During the stay of the Charleston anii Paul Jones In port. Captain Groves, of the Port of Portland, made It a point to assist them in e'ery possible way. With the tender John McCraken he took soundings at various points along the river to make sure there would be no likelihood of the Charleston running aground on leaving. As a result of his thouglitfulness, the officers and members of the crews of the warships left here with the very best impression of Port land's harbor.

Thomas H. Shevlln, of Minneapolis, one of ths world's lumber kings and an x Unsii'S) owner of Oregon timber lands, spent yesterday at the Portland, depart ing last night' for Seattle, from which city ha will return home. Mr. Shevlln insiBts that he Is in the- Pacific North west simply on a. pleasure trip, although naturally he Is Investigating to some ex tent the work his representatives here are doing. For several years Mr. Shevlln"has maintained an office here, and he keeps in close touch with the local business situation. "The problem which the Northwest has to solve," said Mr. Shevlln. "Is that of transportation. Oregon will grow just In proportion as she secures railroads suf ficient to carry her products to market. The building of the North Bank road will accomplish wonders toward Increasing your facilities, and that and the line through Central Oregon which Mr. Har riman will surely build will give this state such an Impetus as It has never known before. "Just as soon as I find transportation facilities adequate, I shall build a mill In the Deschutes country for the pur pose of developing my timber holdings, but it's no use now. Unless the railroads are there and in a position to take care of your product it is useless to under take any manufacturing enterprise." Mr. Shevlln sees no Indications of a business depression. "Naturally there will be a little slack ing up during the coming presidential campaign," he continued, "but it will not resemble anything like a. panic. Out here In the Northwest you will feel it least of all. I've seldom seen a town grow so rapidly as Portland has during the two years since I was here last. It seems like an altogether different city. You've struck your gait at last and are going to have a great big city here."
