JUSTIFY ADVANCE
BY MANY FIGURES
Railroad Men Show That
Northern Pacific Loses
Money on Lumber.
JOINT ACTION ADMITTED
Moodworlh Says All Tlirce Roads
Raised Hates on Same Date by
Request Lumber Rates
Lowest in Proportion.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. During pracr
Lically the entire day the Interstate Com
merce Commission listened to statements
and figures eompiled by railroad officials
tn the hearing of the Pacific Northwest
lumber complaints. The figures present
ed were as to rates on all clases of
freight, and were presented, to show that
the advanced rates on lumber were not
proportionately high; in fact were
tower than rates on other articles of
freight.
This morning's session was begun by
the accounting and traffic departments
of the Northern Pacific, showing com
parative cost and volume of movement
ef lumber and forest products and
prices of these products at Minneapolis
nd other points.
The first witness was W. G. Johnson,
isslstant controller of the Northern Paci
fic. He testified that in 1904 the cost of
moving lumber and forest products per
ton per mile was .515 cents and of other
classes of freight 1.017 cents, the average
for all classes being .88 cents. In 1906 the
lama Items were .457 cents, 1.016 cents
nd .828 cents. Total receipts from
lumber traffic in 1906 were 18,058,539,
which Mr. Johnson stated in answer to
& question was not sufficient to pay
operating expenses. Later the witness
testified that the total of operating
expenses of the road in 1906 was $31,
395.432. Eastbound lumber and shin
gles was 28 per cent of all eastbound
tonnage. Less lumber was moved in
1907 than in 1906.
Mr. Johnson also submitted a statement
showing the movement of empty cars was
greater toward the East in 1890 and great
er westbound In 1906. The percentage of
revenue from transportation of lumbrr
from Oregon and Washington in 1906 was
22.85, and all other states 7.07 per cent.
The. total number of cars of lumber
moved one mile in 1904 was 1,006,456,
597 tons, or 27.3 per cent of the total
traffic.
Earnings from the movement of lum
ber and forest products in that year
were less than 16 per cent of all freight
earnings.
J. G. Wood worth, traffic manager of
the Northern Pacific, presented tables
showing- the prices of lumber at Min
neapolis and other points from 1890 to
1906 which were not read.
On cross-examination by Mr. Teal.
Mr. Woodworth practically admitted
that the advance In race was made as
a result of concerted action on the
part of ail lines.
"The Union Pacific advanced the rate
on the same date because I wrote them
and asked them to do so. It was the
same way with the Great Northern. It
was desirable that the rate should go
into effect on the same date on all
lines. All roads do not advance or
lower rates at the same time, how
ever. The O. R. & N. never met our
40-cent rate to St. Paul, and if the
Great Northern should reduce its rate
to a figure we thought not desirable,
we wouldn-t follow them," said Mr.
Woodworth.

BASEBALL WAR IS ASSURED
That's What Callahan's Invasion of
Chicago Means.
CHICAGO. .Dec. 19. A bomb w
tossed Into the camp of organized base
ball by the announcement that James
Callahan had been offered the St. Paul
franchise of the American Association
for Chicago. President Murphy, National
League club, says the invasion will
bring a baseball war that will never
end untl' one side or the other is an
nihilated. President Comlskey, of the
.American League club, when asked if
he would try to keep an association
team out, said:
"No use trying to keep them out, ior
it looks as if they are already In. Their
RCtion would be against baseball law,
but If that league wants to bolt from
organized bast-ball It Is their own busi
ness. The Chicago baseball public Is
the party to decide whether another
league shall come In or not."
Callahan was wrathy when told of
Murphy's objection. He said:
"He's got a fine chance to stop me or
anybody else from putting a team in
here. If the American Association
comes through with its end of tne deal
I'll have the team all right. The plan
to put a high-class minor league club
In hero looks like a fine business prop
osition. They are calling me an "out
law so I have nothing to lose by
bucking the 'baseball trust.' "
ROOT FOR ST. LOUIS PLAYERS I
Students Raise Depot ,Roof and
Startle Policemen.
ST. LOUIS. Mo., Dec. 19. (Special.)
Several policeman at the Union Station,
asisiKted by gatemen, tried to. prevent Si.
Louis University students. 200 strong,
from giving the football team a farewell
reception when the team left for Sio
kane. Wash., at 2:30 P. M. today. Need
less to say, the reception was long and
noisy. The policemen could do nothing
but smile.
Seventeen men. were in the squad, in
cluding Eddie Cochems, . coach of the
team, and Dr. A." C. Niclson, who will
represent the University faculty. All the
regular members of the team were in
cluded. The players were Kenny, Orr,
Robinson, Lamb. Scheneder. Acker. Mur
phy. Wills. Clancy, Biennan, Depew,
Roche, Lowe and Hughes.
The- crowd of students gathered about
the players in the Midway at 2 P. M.
They let out a few college yells and then
policemen came running to stop the dis
turbance. One officer told Father Burke
of St. Louis University that he heard the
noise t Twentieth and Market streets
and ran all the way to the station. The
students were told to keep quiet for a
while.
As each player, Cochems and Dr. Niel
snn went through the gate, they were
slapped, pushed and patted on the back
by everybody within reach; each player
was also given a yell. Then the students
marched out of the station still yelling.
The team will train on the way to the
Coast. A practice game will be played
tomorrow at St. Paul.
ANXIOUS JO PLAY GAME HERE
Corvallis Wants to Meet Oregon
Eleven Ik Portland Xext Year.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES,
Ccrvallls, Or., Dec. 19. (Special.) The
athletic committee of the faculty has ad
dressed, a letter to the athletic council
of the University of Oregon, requesting
that the annual game of football next
year be played in Portland. No date is
proposed, beyond the suggestion that the
game should be played at a later date
than that of this season. There is uni
versal sentiment among students and
faculty for the game to be played in the
metropolis, and letters are being re
ceived here from alumni and old students
in other parts of the state, urging that
arrangement so that all can have a
chance to see the game. The game is
due at Corvallis next year, but towns
people and business men generally be
lieve it would be better to have the
game played in Portland and join with
the students in the sentiment for that
arrangement.
There are approximately 1000 alumni of
Oregon Agricultural College and 8000 to
10,000 former students, of whom a great
many would journey to Portland who
could not come to Corvallis to see the
game, and as similar conditions are -true
of the university supporters, it is figured
that the placing of the game in Port
land would call out an extraordinary at
tendance. There is every confidence here
that the university athletic council will
agree to the arrangement.
CURBING LIQUOR INTEREST
Mr. Bain Echoes That Injury Has
Provoked Retaliation.

opening- editorial of yesterday, entitled. "A
Complex Problem." strikes so directly at

problem that a few supplementary remarks
may be allowed.
,.Mher ?ffe,ren of opinion may be
held on the fiscal, social and moral aspects
... J1 Luestlon. there is onry one attitude
which the great mass of the people hold
regarding the political side thafwhich they
always ultimately maintain toward any ele
ment which persistently makes for class
legislation uncompromising opposition And
close observation of the movement now in
progress all over the country leads to the
conclusion that this forms the 'basis of it
and Is the most hopeful augur of its suc
cess. No trade, class or community which for
any length of time pursues a course of ac
tion which sacrifices the Interests of the
whole population for Its t wn particular ag
grandizement and which continuously seeks
to control the legislative and executive func
tions of government for this end. can pos
sibly withstand the tremendous fore of
public opposition which such a course In
evitably arouses.
In this state, the clearly defined policy of
the liquor Interests has been a constant

the machinery of government to their own
ends. This course they are still pursuing,
as next election will doubtless demonstrate.
It win not take many more years to con
vince those who may not now see it clear
ly, that this is a fact. If prohibition pre
vails In Oregon It will do so largely because
the liquor business has forced the issue upon
the people.
The Oregonian well says: "It (s a fiscal,
economical, social, political, moral and
financial problem, all In one." and it may
be added, at the heart of It lies the polit
ical element, because in reality this in
volves all the others. For this, reason, as
long as the methods and policies of the
trade "which have characterized its past his
tory are continued there -will surely be ar
rayed against It not Prohibitionists alone,
but Republicans. Democrats and men of all
shades of political belief, who at heart be
lieve that the Interests of the whole people
are superior to the success of any single
business, no matter how important In its
place it may seem to be, nor how great Its
vested Interests. JOHN BAIN.

WITH HIS FATHERS
King Oscar Buried in Berna
dotte Tomb.
ALL SWEDEN IN MOURNING
Imposing and Sorrowful Ceremonies
Attended by Notables Mark Obse
.qules Over Remains of Be
, loved Ruler at ' Stockholm.
STOCKHOLM, Dec. 19. Seldom, if ever,
in Its history has this city witnessed such
a grand and solemn ceremony as that
which today marked the funeral of King
Oscar, who died December 8. Although
the weather was bitterly cold.' the entire
population of Stockholm and thousands
of visitors from' the country stood bare
headed, silent and sorrowful along the
line of procession to catch a last glimpse
of the casket containing ail that re
mained of their beloved King.
Every house along the route was draped
from the ground to theeaves with crepe,
and even the color of the uniforms of
the . soldiers was deadened by this uni
versal mark of mourning. The epaulettes
of the officers were covered with black.
The haif-masted flags likewise were
draped with crepe, and streamers of the
same somber material hung across the
streets at frequent Intervals.
The funeral procession included some
2000 persons, among them being Gustave,
the new. King of Sweden; .the King of
Denmark, the Swedish princes and prin
cesses and the Ambassadors representing
foreign monarchs.
As the funeral procession entered the
church, the organ and the orchestra
played Haydn's dirge, and as the casket
was carried up the grand aisle by a
number of sailors-accompanied by the
aides-de-camp of the late sovereign,
every eye in the congregation was
filled with tears. The casket was
placed on a rostrum in the chancel.
At the conclusion of the funeral
march, the choir, accompanied by the
organ and the orchestra from the opera,
recited two Lutheran son.
The funeral oration waa delivered by
the Bishop of Lund, wjio spoke of King
Oscar's philanthropy and his devotion
and affection as a father and a hus
band. .
The Lutheran mass with the Litany
having; been read by the Archbishop of
Upsal, assisted by the Bishop of Lund
and the paetor primarlus of Stockholm,
and the benediction pronounced, earth
was' sprinkled on the coffin and the
Archbishop read:
"Of earth did thou come, to earth
thou shalt return. May our Gracious
Lord place thee on the right hand of
the throne."
The members of the royal family
broke out into convulsive sobs. A sa
lute of 41- guns was fired by the forts
and the ships in the harbor and volleys
of musketry burst forth as the coffin
was placed in the vaults of the Berna
dottes. NO NEED TO GO HUNGRY
President of Associated Charities
Has Cheer for Unemployed.
PORTLAND, Dec. 19. (To the Editor.)
For the comfort of some of "The Ore
gonian's correspondents who seem to
think that we do not know how un
pleasant it is to be hungry, let me say
that the president at least of the As
sociated Charities (formerly City Board
of Charities) knows all about it.
In his hungry youth, with exploring
parties he has gone half starved and un
sheltered for a good many days, and on
one occasion tramped hard through the
mountains in snow and rain for three
days without food, shelter or blankets.
He has seen his companions broken-down
and half-delirious from hunger, without
any food in sight, and has joined with
half-starving men in feasting sumptuous
ly on occasion upon a feeble old Fail
salmon, which was caught on the upper
riffles of the Snohomish River. Perhaps
he has gone hungry on occasion as often
as the majority of men, and this Is why
he has a hearty contempt for any man
who will go hungry unnecessarily.
And now let me tell a story as it was
told to me. The manager of a big lum
ber camp on the lower river, when the
banks shut down had to put up a notice
that pay checks could not be given on
the usual pay-day. Many of his men.
spoiled by years of prosperity, cursed
and swore about it, until, tired of making
explanations, the manager went to his
room, where a few minutes later he
was disturbed by the arrival of one of
his best men, and turning wearily to him
said: "Well, Smith, I supposu. you've
come to growl too about the pay checks?"
"Oh, no," answered Smith, cheerfully,
"pay checks be d d. All I want to know,
sir Is, 'whether the messhouse is going
to be opened." Assured - of this. Smith
like a sensible man, went off contented.
Now the messhouse in Portland has
been open for 20 years and Is not closed,
nor will It be closed. All that is asked
is good, honest work in return for good,
honest food and shelter, and there is no
need of making application for It either
as a beggar on the street or in a news
paper. There is a business office that
every man In the city knows that at
tends to that, and that business office has
never asked for the necessary funds from
the business men of Portland In vain,
so there is no need of -worrying about
this little stringency just yet.
Suppose some "strapped" working man,
out of work, had a brother who owned a
small farm .and the farmer-brother said
to the workman-brother: "I haven't any
money, but you come to the farm and I
will give you a good bed and good meals.
Tou can work in return in the forenoon
on the farm, and spend the rest of the
day looking for a job, and if you need
shoes or clothes you can work for them
too." We would all say this was a fair,
brotherly arrangement which respected
the manhood of the workman-brother and
of which he had no right to complain.
Now, this Is Just what the Associated
Charities has done, is doing today, and
will continue to do.
THOMAS N. STRONG,
President Associated Charities.

The bill Is so worded as to prevent
a man getting moto than one-quarter
section under the proposed law, and
safeguards are thrown out to prevent
speculation. Persons desiring to avail
themselves -of this law, should It be
enacted, must deposit $10 in the local
land office, together with an affidavit
of good faith, before they can go upon
the land to sink the well. The water
must be developed and put upon the
land wlttiln one year from the time of
making application, or the entryman
forfeits his rights. Where application
Is made for only 80 acres, the fee is
only $5.
If, ' within one year, the entryman
sinks his well and gets the necessary
water, his land will be Inspected by an
Inspector of the department, ' and If
the Inspector's report is favorable
patent will be issued. The bill does
not require residence, as stipulated by
the homestead law, but it is presumed
that an entryman taking advantage of
this law would necessarily reside upon
the land during the time he was striv
ing forwwater, and, having obtained It,
would remain to take advantage of
his early efforts. This is an entirely
unique proposition, so far as Congress
Is concerned, and the bill, or some
modification, may be enacted, espe
cially as It will lead to development of
much land that would otherwise He
idle.
Washington's Third Term.
New York World.
Washington was elected President
because he was the unanimous choice
of the country. The Electoral Col
lege merely ratified popular opinion.
When he retired at the end of his sec
ond term it was for purely personal
reasons. Although Jefferson had re
ferred to the President as "a bad edi
tion of . a Polish King," he would have
been glad to have him continue in of
fice in order to prevent the Govern
ment from falling completely into the
hands of Hamilton and the Federalists.
Washington refusal was dictated in
no sense by a belief that a third term
might imperil American ' Institutions.
His real reasons, frankly stated in his
correspondence, were that he was tired
of public life and that as a candidate
he could poll no more votes than any
other Federalist.
