LUMBER RATEJUS
CONTENDS ELLIOTT
President of Northern Pacific
Explains Advance in
Tariff.
HILL ROAD OFFICIALS HERE
Prominent Railroad Men Com to
Portland to Consider Settlement
of Terminal Difficulties and
Other Important Questions.
President Howard Elliott of the
Northern Pacific Railway denied, in an
Interview at the Portland. Hotel last
flight, that the increased tariff on lum
ber imposed by the transcontinental rail
roads, last Fall is responsible for the de
pression In the lumber trade of the
Northwest, or that the new rate gives
the railroads more than a fair profit. Mr.
Klliott attributed the fact that the ma
jority of the mills in this section of the
country had been forced to close down
to the general dullness of Industrial con
ditions throughout the country, calling
attention to the fact that the lumber
trade in Minnesota and other Middle
Western territory is much quieter than
it is in the Pacific Northwest. He frank
ly admitted that there -was no hope of
compromise or settlement of the rate
controversy between the transportation
and lumber interests save through judicial
channels: thHt the whole matter must
be determined by the Federal courts and
the Interstate Commerce Commission, in
the hands of which bodies the fata of the
question now rests.
"The conference relative to ,the rate
question which was held in Seattle last
week." said Mr. Elliott, "advanced the
situation no nearer to settlement than
it was before, the reason for this being
that the railroads believe they are right
and the lumber interests, onvthe other
hand, believe they are right, and I think
It Is only proper that we let the matter
rest In statu quo until the Interstate
Commerce Commission has adjudfeat
ed It.
V
Merely Talked Matter Over. '
"In this conference, ftt which Presi
dent Hill of the Great Northern and
myself represented the two northern
roads, and at which the lumber inter
ests presented their side of the case
through President Furth of the Pugct
Sound National Bank and Frederick
13ausman on behalf of certain commer
cial interests, we did nothing more than
talk the matter over, and It appeared
that we could come to no agreement.
"VYe, that is the railroads, believe we
have been hauling lumber from the Pa
cific Northwest at too low a rate, and
that Is the only reason the advanced
tariff schedule was put into effect. The
lumber interests of this territory are
not so badly off as are those of Minne
sota and the neighboring territory. Busi
ness is much quieter there than it is
here.. The new tariff cannot be held
responsible for the depression in the
lumber business here.
"The public seems to have a -wrong
Impression of this question. There is no
hard feeling, no bitterness between the
railroads and the lumbermen. Each side
understands the other. We have dis
cussed the matter detail by detail and
point by point in a perfectly friendly
manner and the whole thing in a nut
shell is that there 1s an honest differ
ence of opinion as to -whether v the new
rate is a just and equitable one. The
railroads say it is and the lumbermen
declare that it imposes an excessive bur
den upon them."
Will Make No. Prediction.
Asked if he cared to venture any guess
n.s to when industrial conditions of the
country would be restored to a formal
bimis, Mr. Elliott replied:
"1 am not a prophet, and" one man's
guess is Just as good aa another's. So
far as our Interests are concerned, they
are in fine shape, and we are going right
ahead with our plans the same a.s if
there had been no flurry; but as to the
general business situation, I have noth
ing further to say than that I am study
ing them carefully on my present trip,
and have no comment to make as to the
future."
The president of the Northern Paciflo
then entered a vigorous denial of the
newspaper story from Seattle that his
road intended to bore another tunnel
through the Cascade Mountains and to
abandon the present Stampede tunnel.
"Our present trip to the Coast," con
tinued the railroad magnate, "has been
one of careful inspection, study of Condi
tions and questions which we have to
meet. We have been away from St. Paul
for two weeks, and will not get baok
home for at least another week. We
haven't been making much over 200 miles
a day, because we desire to be thorough.
We ran our special train over the new
Northern Pacific from Kalama to Van
couver, arriving there this afternoon, and
looked over the terminal facilities' and
saw ' what progress was being made.
While here we shall no doubt take up the
question of using the tracks of the North
ern Pacitic Terminal Company with the
proper Harrlman officials, and I hope for
an early and amicable settlement, but I
cannot say as to Just what steps we shall
take, as yet.
Packing-lrouse Matters Vp.
"Matters relating to terminal facilities
and connections with the packing-house
tract on the Peninsula will, no doubt, be
taken up with Mr. Swift and the other
Swift officials now here, but that is a
matter In which I am not very well
posted, and will be left for the officials
of the NoKth Bank road to take care of.
"We shall remain here all day tomor
row and Tuesday, and on Wednesday
morning we will leave by boat and go up
tho river along the right of way of the
North Bank to some point near Collins.
We haven't decided Just where we will
land. Meantime our train will be sent
around and we will board it and continue
an inspection tour over the whole North
Hank line. We will also' visit the "WTUla
Walla country and probably cover a good
part of the whole Inland' Empire before
returning to St. Paul."
Summed up .briefly, the present visit
here of President Elliott, together with
the large array of Northern Pacific offi
cials, Is an Important one to this sec
tion from the fact that three big ques
tions will divide the attention of these
officials one. the lumber industry and
the rate controversy: another, the settle
ment of the dispute with the Northern
Pacitic Terminal Company (and President
Elliott declared last night that the re
fusal of the Harriman people to let the
North Bank road enter Portland across
!he Terminal Company's tracks Is the
Kieatest obstacle in . the North 'Bank's
way); and the third question is the ar
rangement for terminals and connections
with the Swift packing plant on the Pen
nsula. Party a Distinguished One.
In the Northern Pacilic party every
branch of railroad management is repre
sented executive, legal, traffic, operat
ing, passenger and railroad land. The
party consists of the following people:
Howard Elliott, president, St. Paul:
Amos T. French, director. New York; H.
C. Nutt. general manager Western di
vision, Tacoma; C. A. Clark, treasurer,
St. Paul; Henry Blakeley, general West
ern freight agent, Tacoma; A. M. Cle
land, general passenger agent, St. Paul;
J. G. Woodworth, traffic manager, St.
Paul: Thomas Cooper, land commissioner,
St. Paul: B. S. Grosscup, counsel, Ta
coma: J. L. Ames, secretary to President
Elliott. St. Paul.
As soon as the distinguished party ar
rived in Portland they ' repaired to the
Portland Hotel, where temporary head
quarters has been established for the
stay in Portland.
Last night conferences were held with
the following officials of the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle: President Francis B.
Clarke, General Counsel Charles H.
Carey, of Carey & Kerr; Chief Engineer
N. D. Miller, of Vancouver, and other
operating and traffic officials, the purpose
of these conferences being to map out a
programme for the three days the Elliott
party will be in and around Portland.
In relation to the dispute with the Ter
minal -Company, one of the important
questions to be settled is whether an at
tempt'will be made to reach an amicable
agreement with the Harrlman people
while President Elliott is here, or whether
to wait until the controversy is settled In
court in April, when the cases have been
set for trial. It is admitted that if the
wrangle can be settled now, work can be
started in putting in the cross-over
tracks from the North Bank terminals
over the Termnlal Company tracks and
operation of the road into Portland can
thereby be Inaugurated several months
earlier than could otherwise take place,
should the matter be fought out in the
courts. In case additional conferences to
be held between the legal departments
of the two great opposing systems in the
next two days should result in a satis
factory compromise, the court proceed
ings now pending will be dismissed and
work on the terminal tracks from the
Portland end will be begun within a very
short time, enabling the work on the
west side of the river to be completed as
soon as. If not sooner than, the bridges
across the rivers will be ready for traffic.
It was dated last night by President
Clarke, of the North Bank, that trains
would be In operation the whole length
of the line from Vancouver to Pasco
within a month.
PROTECT BANK DEPOSITS
A. E. Clark Explains State Insur
ance Plan in People's Forum.
That a law should be passed by the
next Legislature requiring every bank to
pay into the state treasury a certain per
centage of Its capital, the fund thus sub
scribed to be used in taking care of .losses
due to bank failures, was the suggestion
made last night by A. E. Clark In his
address on "Banjc Deposit Insurance," be
fore the People's Forum. The speaker
had muchfjo say in commendation of &
similar law recently passed by the Legis
lature of OklfJioma. He said It had had
the effect of Inducing the people of sur
rounding states to deposit their money
in Oklahoiha banks, having, as they did,
confidence that their deposits were In
sured against loss.
This plan, Mr. Clark said, is already
being discussed In Idaho, and it is prob
able that a law similar to the one now
In force In Oklahoma will be enacted in
that state at the coming session of the
Legislature.
"I believe we should create a fund of
$1,000,000 to start -with," said Mr. Clark,
"and let It be placed In the State Treas
ury to be loaned out In some way. In
stead of investing in bonds and stocks, I
think a better plan would be for the state
to deposit this money in the various banks
of the state, In proportion to the capital
stock of each bank. In this way the
money would always be subject to call at
a moment's notice. Should a failure oc
cur and this insurance fund be insuffi
cient, then every bank In the state should
bo called upon for an amount, based on
its capital, to make good the deficiency,
and then, when the assets are converted
into cash, return the proceeds to the
treasury.
"If you will pass some law, devise some
plan which will give the depositor the
assurance that his money is safe, that
should the bank fail he Is to be reim
bursed, you will never see another clearing-house
certificate in this state."
A NEW DEPARTURE.
The cost of interments has been greatly
reduced by the Holman Undertaking
Company.
Heretofore It has been the custom of
funeral directors to make charges for all
Incidentals connected with a funeral. The
Edward Holman Undertaking Company,
tho leading funeral directors of Portland,
have departed from that cus.tom. When
casket is furnished by us we make no
extra charges for embalming, hearse to
cemetery, outside box or any services that
may be required of us, except clothing,
cemetery and carriages, thus effecting a
saving of is to $75 on each funeral.

STEVENS
H CLEAR FIELD
G. W. McMillan Decides Not to
Enter Race for the
Shrievalty.
MAY TRY FOR LEGISLATURE
3lich-Talked-or Republican Possi
bility Says Business Friends Ad
vised His Action Stevens An
Bounces llis Candidacy.
Republican aspirants for the office
now. held by Sheriff Stevens are-scarce
thus far, and seem to be avoiding a
race against Stevens Jn the primaries,
April 17. The only avowed Republican
competitor of Stevens Is N. H. Bird, and
there are doubts whether he will run.
George W. McMillan, boomed for some
time as a candidate, yesterday an
nounced that he wils not run. This
was after a meeting between him and
Stevens in the Multnomah Club. Stev
ens made known last evening that he
will fie his primary notice of candi
dacy today.
McMillan may run for the Legis
lature, but lias not made up his mind
in this matter. As to his talked-of
candidacy for Sheriff, he remarked:
I should dem it a great honor to be
elected to the office of Sheriff by the
people of Multnomah County, but per
sons who have helped me in a business
way, and for whose judgment I have
the greatest , respect, have advised
against my running at this time. I am
more thjin thankful to the many who
have offered to help me were I a can
didate. I shall consult my friends, and
If they agree that it will not hurt my
business in any way, I may be a can
didate for the Legislature. I have de
cided not to become a candidate for
Sheriff."
Eliminates Strongest Rival.
This decision of McMillan's elimi
nates from the run for Sheriff the
strongest rival of Stevens, thus far
boomed for the office. While McMillan
was confident he could make a strong
run and perhaps win, it is understood
that Stevens' strength was one of the
conditions that dissuaded him. Stev
ens will have the support of. several
large elements that fought him two
years ago the foes of open town, who
then supposed he would reverse the
policies or Sheriff Tom Word and al
low gambling and open town accesso
ries. Stevens has entirely disproved
that supposition, and says he will con
tinue, if elected, along law-enforcement
lines.
"I don't know that I have any new
planks in my platform," said the Sher
iff, in discussing his candidacy last
night. "I expect to go before the peo
ple under promise to do what is riefht.
A second-term nomination for the office
of Sheriff of this county has become
such a time-honored custom that I pre
sume my formal announcement as a
candidate will hardly create surprise.
In the official declaration of my in
tention to become a candidate, which
I will file with the County Clerk to
morrow, I shall promise to perform my
duties as prescribed by law.' in ac
cordance with my, oath of office, if re
elected. ,
Continue Present Policy.
"I will. If re-elected, continue my
present policy of strict adherence to
business rules In the conduct of the
office, and I will continue to enforce
all laws with strict impartiality. From
both a moral and a business standpiont,
my policy has been the policy of the
people, and I have endeavored to carry
out their wiBhes in a manner which
would leave .them no cause for regret
at having honored me with the term
now nearing its close.
"I have promises to make of any
change in my present policy, but If
re-elected, I will continue to strive for
the highest possible standard of- ef
ficiency In the administration of the
office. There has been no change since
my first election in my intentions and
desires to do what Is right and to merit
the approval of the taxpayers. I feel,
however, that my two years' experi
ence in the office has perhaps qualified

me to secure better results in some
lines of public service connected with
the office than was possible when I
entered as a raw recruit .. two years
ago.
. "Of course I am out to win, and I do
not expect as hard a struggle as I had
two years ago. The fact that I was
comparatively unknown in politics at
that time created a suspicion that I
might, if elected, attempt to carry out
a policy detrimental to the best Inter
ests of the city and county. I think
tiie conduct of the office has satisfied
the people who elected me. If . re
elected, 1 will do my best to continue to
merit their approval.
"I feel very grateful to my thou
sands of friends whose efforts made
possible a first term, and who are
again most unselfishly exerting them
selves In my behalf, and I am also
under obligations to a large number
who could not see their way clear to
support me two years ago, but who are
now giving me most cordial assurance
of their support."
Word Democratic Choice.
The only candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination is Tom Word, so that
it seems likely that the contest will lie
between Stevens and Word in the elec
tion. Stevens defeated WQrd two years
ago by '25 votes. Word has foes in the
Democratic ranks, who then bolted,
and constituted one of the elements
that elected Stevens. This faction
would like to defeat Word in the pri
maries, but is not confident of its abil
ity' to do it.
