January shipments will probably in crease considerably, owing to the fact that the fr ight rate from Pacific Coast ports on arair has beep abolished by the Association of Sailing Ship-owners.

MORE FUNDS TO BE RAISED Many Firms Now Contributing Will Double Monthly Subscriptions. Informal IJeports Show Tort land in Good Condition. Members of the executive committee of the Portland Commercial Club, at a spe cial meeting yesterday, decided to retain Tom Richardson as manager of the pub licity department of the club. Plans were v ...-; ,: v--v . v .... i . -ft ftp- Y discussed for continuing; the activities of this important department on an enlarged scale, and steps will be taken immediate ly for providing; the additional funds that will be needed to carry out the more ex tended publicity work that Is contem plated. The meeting yesterday was at tended by every member of the commit tee, as follows: Theodore B. Wilcox, chairman: W. M. Ladd, A. L. Mills, W. F. Burrell. J. C. Ain-sworth, J. Frank Watson, Robert Livingstone, I. X. Fletsehner and T. D. Honeyman. "The committee decided not only to re tain Mr. Richardson but also to en large the present activities of the organiza tion," said Mr. Wilcox, after the meet ing. "In view of the great amount of advertising that will be done in the inter opt of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposi tion and incidentally to advertise the State of Washington and its resources, the committee feels that it must exert itself more this year than ever If Oregon shall be properly presented to the consid eration of Eastern visitors and derive her share of the benefits that undoubtedly will attend the coming Exposition. More Funds Are Needed. "Of course, the extent of the work now being conducted by the Commercial Club in this direction depends entirely on the amount of additional funds that can be raised, but the committee feels confident that it will succeed in getting all neces sary finances." During the conference of the committee, Mr. Mills, representing the First Na tional Bank, announced that the bank, which has contributed $100 a month to the publicity department of the Commercial Club ever since the work was inaugurat ed in 1904, would double its subscription, and during lld9 would contribute &M0 monthly to the same fund. Other sub scribers to this fund will be asked t double their subscriptions. It will be in this way that the club hopes to be able to carry out its jjlans. One thing introduced in the discussion at the meeting was the matter of placing before the people throughout the Eastern States, by means of the agricultural pa pers, the farming opportunities of this state. This plan was favored by the com mittee, which also declared for a better character of specific advertising matter of the state and its resources, for circu lation. Kxcursions to Be Arranged. It was practically agreed b the com mittee that an excursion of Portland business men should be given to Grays Harbor and other points where the in terests of the city are naturally located. Tho immediate appointment of a com mittee by President Hobson to have charge of the details of such excursions was authorized. Informal reports were made by the members of the committee as to general business conditions in Portland. Note worthy among the reports was the fact that the number of bank accounts In the various Institutions of the city is Increas ing rapidly, indicating a constantly grow ing population. Further evidence that the city's population is Increasing Is the fact that vacant houses and offices in the city will soon command a premium. A majority of the members of the ex ecutive committee have served on that committee in directing the exploitation work of the club since that department was established, four years ago. It will be their intention to continue their serv ices for the year 119 and then deliver the task over to others, feeling that a five years" administration of this work should entitle them to an exempt certifi cate. If the committee succeeds In exe cuting its plans for an Intensely aggress ive campaign next year, it will have es tablished a standard that will be difficult for a succeeding committee to surpass.

DISCUSSES TARIFF TRICKS A Democrat Pays His Respects to Senator Elkins. PORTLAND, Dec. 28. (To the Editor.) I ask apace In The Oregonian for the pur pose of sanctioning the editorial entitled Tariff Trickery," in last Sunday's issue, and which goes to show how the Standard Oil Company obtained "protection" when the Dingley schedules were perfected by the Senate. I notice also that Mr. Taft is asked to have the courage to veto such revision of the present tariff If the schedules are slyly made in the United States Senate to give clandestine favors to the "interests." The editorial referred to is what prompts mo to coincide with its views, especially when I note the names of Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Elkins, who are well known, and old timers in the Senate. The people do know that Mr. Elkins Is a corporation Senator and I note Mr. Elkins solemn pledge broken on the railroad rate bill, which Is pigeon-holed. Now, if Mr. Elkins has a hand in the re vision of the present tariff, it will be well to keep an eagle eye on him and other corporation Senators. It would not be the firHt time that special Interests were favored through trickery and by the stroke of the srfelght-of-hand performer. If any Republi can is disposed to deny the possibility of a law passing through Congress without its "-""r t l J; '', r-. .:.. ... 19Vh''' W&&.v&Q& w,5ew,: 9.i contents being understood by Congress, let him remember section 2a of the Dingley bill. Congress did not know that the Ding ley bill contained section 22. notwithstand ing the fact that the bill passed the Senate and House and was signed by the President. Senator Elkins pushed it and acknowl edged It. Senator Elkins also acknowledges that he Is the hitherto unknown author of section 22. the mysterious paragraph In the new tariff bill, placing penalties upon goods car ried into the country by foreign transporta tion companies. Senator Elkins, in speak ingt of section 22. says: "I am not ashamed of the part I played. I am proud of It. The section would have meant for tbe ocean what the tariff does for the land. I think it was American and for that reason I pushed U. This country is bound to be the mistress of the seas Just as soon as we get time to attend to It. I wanted to hurry it along. There waB no trick about It at all. I simply worked to succeed. Of course I was not going to tell those opposed to the scheme all about It." It will be well for Mr. Tart to be on the lookout for these expert Senators wno are In the habit of pushing these mysterious paragraphs into a document after passing both houses and veto same if such has been pushed in the way of a mysterious Juggling. CHARLES D. HENRY. HIES IN FAVOR DF TARIFF CHICAGO LUMBERMAN DENIES INTERVIEW PUBLISHED. Says He Was Falsely Quoted and Declares for Protection of Amer ican Lumber Industry. In a telegram to A. B. Wastell, secre tary of the Oregon & Washington Lum ber Manufacturers' Association, yester day, Edward Hines, president of the Ed ward Hines Lumber Company, of Chi cago, denies that he gave an interview advocating a reduction In the tariff on lumber. In the interview 'that was sent out in the press dispatches from Chicago December 21, Mr. Hines was quoted as follows: We are also hoping that a further reduc tion may be mada in the cost of lumber to American consumers by the taking off or the tariff. The greater part of our land is In Canada and thla would enable us to bring the Canadian lumber Into the United States, a thing that the tariff practically prohibits now. "As this statement was altogether con trary to the views expressed by Mr. Hines before the Congressional ways and mean? committee during the hearing at Washington, D. C, in November," said Mr. Wastell yesterday, "we at once ar ranged by telegraphing Mr. Hines to learn if he had been correctly quoted in Chicago. In answer we today received the following telegram from Mr. Hines in Chicago: Contradict alleged interview Chicago pa pers 21st regarding cost lumber or my being favorable reduction tariff, in Western papers. Last week's American Lumberman hows my position identical with statement berore ways and means committee, Wash ington. In his statement to the publication re ferred to in his telegram Mr. Hines de clares that any reduction in the tariff on lumber would be extremely damaging not only to American lumber interests, but to the cause of forest conservation in this country. Mr. Hines' statement as published in the American Lumber man. December 26, follows: Whereas, It has been given out by the press and generally circulated that, be cause of the consolidation of certain timber and mill properties in Northern Minnesota and Western Ontario, under the style of the Virginia & Rainy Lake Company, in which I am interested, I have changed my attitude In regard to the tariff upon lum ber imported Into the tnlted States and am now in favor of Its abolition. I wish to state as emphatically as I can, through the columns of the American Lumberman, that I have made no change whatsoever in my opinion or feeling in regard to that matter; that I am as firmly convinced as ever that the removal or lowering of tha lumber duty would be damaging In the extreme to American lumber Interests, to American labor and to tho cause of rorest conserva tion In the United States. It is true that the removal of the duty would favorably affect the value of that portion of our timber, but my Interests and those of my associates are essentially American and we stand today aa we have all along for the protection and upbuilding of tne American lumber Industry and the maintenance of American timber values, upon which to so large a degree depends the progress of foi est conservation, for reasons which have been amply stated heretofore.

PRESIDENT-ELECT WRITES Will Not Be Able to Attend, but Will Do Next Best Thing Remembers Portland Roses From Visit In September Last Year. President William Howard Taft will formally open the third annual Portland Rose Festival, )o be held in this city the week of June 7-12, 1909. President Ralph W. Hoyt, of the Festival Associa tion, received a letter from Roosevelt's successor to this effect yesterday after noon. . Taft's letter was one which in spired the Festival promoters with a feel ing that at last the metropolis of fha Northwest received due and proper recognition from the seats of the mighty. The opening function of the next Fes tival will take place at noon on Monday, Jure 7, when the formal exercises in connection with "Homo Coming Day" will be observed, and it is at this time that the new President will officiate. Rather voluminous correspondence has been carried on between the officials of the Rose Festival and the President elect regarding this matter during the past month, but in yesterday's letter the full assurance that the local celebration had received National indorsement was for the first time vouchsafed. The following is a copy of the com munication received from the next chief executive of the Nation, touching the local demonstration: ' Augusta. Ga., December 23. 1!K8 Ralph W. Hoyt, President Portland Rose Festival Association, Portland. Or. -My Pear Sir: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your let ter of December 8, and to say In reply that It will not be possible for me to attend the Portland Rose Festival on June 8. I shall, however, take pleasure In touching an elec tric button at the White House as a signal for the formal opening of the festival, as you request. Yours very sincerely. WILLIAM H. TAFT. Promoters of the Portland Rose Festi val are particularly Jubilant from the fact that this is the first celebration of any prominence to which President-elect Taft has lent his official approval since the result of last November's election was known. As revealed in portions of the correspondence with him, he seems to be more deeply impressed with the idea of having the opening day given over to a "home coming" celebration than any of the other various features which have been outlined to him. The President-elect has written in glowing terms regarding the A.-Y.-P. Ex position to be held at Seattle next Sum mer and has expressed his sincere regrf-.t that he will not be able to attend and in recent letters he has informed the Rose Festival management that there would be no greater pleasure that he could con jure up than to revisit the two great cities of the Pacific Northwest and be personally present during their indi vidual entertainments. A year ago last September Taft, then only a tentative candidate for the Presidency, visited Portland and was the guest of Theodore B. Wilcox. Mr. Wilcox showed the dis tinguished statesman and putative Presi dential candidate around Portland and loaded down both Mr. and Mrs. Taft with the most beautiful specimens of Portland's roses that could be found. "I believe,' said President Ralph W. Hovt. of the Rose Festival Association, last night, "that it was Judge Taft's last visit here that has led him to grant us the great concession contained in his letter. "We are now placed on a plane of National -prominence equal to any pub j0 celebration held anywhere in America.
