Menefee. Vaughn, Wallace and "Wills
Mayor Lane's veto was over-ridden'
The only votes to sustain the veto
were cast by Councllmen Rushlight
and Cottel. The entire morning ses
sion of the Council was occupied in a
discussion that at times became heated
between members of the Council and
the Mayor, the latter being a target
because of his scathing veto message
While severely criticised, being ac
cused of insincerity and pre-election
plays," he maintained his nosltlnn tn
the end that the Council was about to
give away to the corporation highly
valuable rights, with the Interests of
the people "lily guarded."
Mr. Cellars led the fight to pass the
franchise over Mayor Lane's veto, and
he had much support from his col
leagues, -even from Mr. Vaughn, who
usually upholds the vetoes. In this In
stance he championed the company's
rights so ably that Dr. Cottel alluded
to him as "the assistant to the legal
counsel of the company," and in this
class also Dr. Cottel Included Mr. Cel
lars. Mr. Vaughn emphatically denied
the allegation, however, Baying he
acted purely In the Interests of his
constituents, numbering thousands. Mr.
cellars paid no heed to Dr. Cottel's
remark.
Baker Wants Hanging-Bee.
Mr. Baker advocated a public hang
ing bee "in order to kill off the big
batch of mossbacks with which Port
land Is affected," saying that In such
an event "the city might have a chance
to grow." He referred principally to
Mayor Lane, but also to Councllmen
Cottel and Rushlight Mr. Wills, said
that "when the veto was first read I
thought It looked mightv good, but-
after hearing the remarks of my col
leagues here, I think it looks about
like the carcass of a turkey after a
Christmas dinner." Mr. Wills was In
terrupted several times by J. B. Zeig
ler, of the Steel Bridge Push Club, op
posing the franchise, and sat down In
a huff. "If I've got to be bothered I
won't talk at all, and will vote 'yes,' "
concluded Mr. Wills.
Mr. Cellars arose immediately fol
lowing the reading of the veto mes
sage of Mayor Lane and inquired If the
Mayor regarded it as of sufficient im
portance to permit each member of the
Council to express his views upon it.
Mayor Lane said he was perfectly will
ing to have it discussed.
Mr. Itavanaugh thought there would
be no trouble about enforcing the terms
or the franchise; that the company
could hot operate freight cars over
its lines without a permit from the
Council. Mayor Lane questioned 1;he
wording of the franchise, however, and
held to the view that there is nothing
in the franchise which forbids the com
pany making of It a commercial rail
road. Cellars Defends Franchise.
Mr. Cellars then proceeded to show
from his point of view that there has
been no undje haste, as alleged bv
Mayor Lane, in passing the franchise
tnrough its various stages, and said
the Mayor evidently took advantage of
the fact that election time is near to
send in a long veto message "without
any merit in it." Mr. Cellars also de
nied that it Is possible for the com
pany to abandon any of its lines with
out the consent of the Council, but
Mayor Lane challenged the statement.
saying there Is no such provision in
the grant.
Mr. Cellars concluded his remarks by
telling Mayor Lane that the latter had
treated the franchise as some people
treat the Bible. He said, "Tou can
prove anything you want to by using
certain sections of the Bible, and you
can make a lot of fuss about this fran
chise, if you pick certain portions of
It, but if you take it together you will
ana that It is a good franchise." In
regard to the common-user clause,
which the Mayor said should be In
corporated in it, Mr. Cellars said he
would prefer to see a clause absolutely
proniDiting the using of the lines by
any other company.
The franchise grants to the street
car company the right to construct and
operate 40 new lines in various sec
tions of the city, including one line to
the Swift packing ilanton the Lower
Peninsula.
The Council also passed over the veto
of Mayor Lane the ordinance rescind
ing the proceedings for a fill on East
Sixth street, from East Sherman to
Division streets, which was opposed by
the Inman-Poulsen Lumber, Company.

WARNING IS PROMULGATED
Oregon and Washington Manipula
tors Charged With Striving
to Reduce Output and

In an endeavor to boost the price of
chittim bark, or cascara sagrada, a num
ber of Oregon and Washington dealers
have formed a combination, with the
idea of limiting production and thus en
abling themselves to sell the large sur
plus stocks they have been carrying
since 1904. the year when prices fell, ac
cording to Edmund C. White.
That this combine has already made
Itself felt among Eastern buyers is al

or, while trying to secure all the carry

block, out of "brotherly love" these gentle
men are spreading broadcast among the
f. rs. l.he. """formation" that tho Eastern
market is in very bad shape, and strongly

Immediate benefit of their pockets.
So much for the Coast. Now what Is
..o mjrrowiui taie served up to the East
ern buyer by theao kind-hearted fellow
citizens of yours?
They report there is now no Cascara
bark to be obtained within miles and mile,
or the railroads: also that there will be
no peel practically no peel whatever, this
season; and consequently, bark will be a
very scarce article. That there Is now
no hold-over bark on the Coast except
what they own a statement far from te
Ing accurate; that In consequence of the
very deplorable condition of affairs prices
are bound to be high this season. Bearish
advices for th peeler; Bullish for the con
sumer. Playing the ends against each other to
favor the middle their pocket. A very
pretty scheme. Now as to actual con
ditions here. a. a matter of fact th East
ern market has never been in better shape
at the beginning of a producing season.
Stocks held here are light and buyer,
must come Into the market for liberal pur
chases. Everything Indicates a good busi
ness at price, which will yield a good
return to producers. In fact the peeler
has an opportunity this year by far the
best since 1903 to secure good prices.
If he. will disregard the "advices" of a
certain company and peel all the bark
he can he may do so with the assurance
that his returns will be highly satisfactory.
I hope the peelers will give these matter,
duo consideration and act for their best
Interest. Thanking you, I am,
EDMUND C. WHITE. '
Large Fund on Hand.
The trust to which Mr. White alludes
Is said to consist of Herman Metzger,
of Portland; Dan Fry, of Salem; A. Wil
helm, of Junction, Or.; Mr. Callson, of
Chehalls, and Mr. Pollock, of -Portland,
the latter being named as secretary of
the concern. While the combination Is
quite unassuming, it Is understood to
have a working fund, if required, of
$25,000, as It was incorporated In an in
formal manner. This fund is used to
purchase stocks held by peelers who feel
inclined to sell at a price below the mar
ket value of the article.
Last year the concern sent out ad
vices to the different peelers not to peel
and stated the price of the bark was
around 3 cents per pound, and it is said
similar advices' have been sent this year
by the firms- interested advising pros
pective shippers that ibb cents is the limit
to be expected.
At present prices in the Eastern cities
are about 7 cents per pound and are said
to be likely to rise to 8 cents. A re
cent consignment was offered at 7 cents
but found no takers. '
Advises People to Feel.
Discussing the situation yesterday, a
Front-street dealer said: "As there Is
certain to be a good demand this year,
it is perfectly safe to advise people to
peel. I believe they will, too. in large
quantities. It 1b generally believed that
Metzger has about four carloads of the
bark on hand, which he has been trying
to sell at a profit for some time, and the
other firms in the trust are similarly
situated. Unless they can sell at S
cents they are in to lose money, for they
bought when prices were at least 6 cents
"Several of the trust magnates who
hold about 200,000 pounds of the bark are
naturally pretty eager to adviae people
not to peel, if by so doing they can in
sure that the demand will be above the
visible supply. Anybody who peels can
be pretty sure of getting from 6 to 7
cents a pound."
The cornering of the Oregon and Wash
ington supply would practically mean the
I'hI. f m8-ret. Although small
quantities of chittim trees are found in
Europe and Chile, the supplies are so
small as not to affecf the situation
While Oregon has led the world's sup
ply of chittim bark, there are enormous
quantities of the bark in Washington as
yet untouched. The chittim tree is ln
ofV,9 t0vn?th 8tates- The operation
bl n.ngt 1Us th tree' nd 11 cannot
be cultivated, as it exists only l a wild
state. Thus the possible supply de
creases annually.

NEGRESSES WAVE RAZOK IN

Victim and Officers Capture Thieves
In Terminal Ground After
Long Chase.
George Brown, a pumber. who Uvea
at 921 East Gllsan street, engaged ln
a misguided flirtation Tuesday night
which not only resulted ln the loss of
his week's wages, but came very near
ending fatally, according to a story
which he told the police yesterday.
Brown responded to a couple of flut
tering handkerchiefs at Fifth and
Everett street while on his way home
late at night, only to find that the
women who thus attracted him were
buxom negro wenches. Thev seized
him as he started to walk away in
disgust, so he says, forced him Into an
alleyway and by holding a razor at
his throat compelled him to keep quiet
until they ransacked his pockets. Tak
ing his purse, which contained $24,
they ran north on Everett street.
Brown ran after them, shouting at
the top of his voice. He caught up
with them, whereat one woman turned
on him, flourished her razor and told
him to turn back or she would take
after him and cut his throat. Brown
was intimidated, but Police Sergeant
Goltz, who heard the man's outcries,
arrived at this moment and took up
the chase. The women ran nearly half
a mile before being overtaken by the
officer In the terminal grounds. Both

Ten Doctors
Said He Would Die
"In 1903 we wrote you regard
ing my husband, who was suf
fering from heart trouble. He
was superanuated by the North
Georgian Conference. Ten doc
tors at different times said he
would die. You advised Dr.
Miles' Heart Remedy and Re
storative Nervine ; we did as
advised, and improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
IO4 gave him .a charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great -deal of camp meeting
work. I am so glad we took
your advice and gave him the
medicine, and feel that I ought
to let you know of the wonder
ful good results from its use."
MRS. T. S. EDWARDS,
Milner, Ga.
This proves what Dr. Miles'
Heart Remedy will do. Get a
bottle from your druggist and
take it according to directions.
It does not matter whether your
heart is merely weak, or you
have organic trouble, if it does
not benefit you take the empty
bottle to your druggist and get
Xout monex back.
