GRAIN EXCHANGE
BE
Probable Result of Financial
Straits of Board of
Trade.
:0lIS0LIDATI0N IS LIKELY
Uoorganization or Hoard Must Come
as Soon as Debts Can Be Paid
and Merger With Merchants'
Kxi-liaiiKe Is Discussed.
The organization of a strong commer
cial exchange that will take over tho
uuslnrss of the present Board of Trade
nnd the Merchants' Exchange will prob
niily be tho outcome of the present finan
cial straits of the Board of Trade.
The- subject has been discussed among
grain and produce dealers and meets
with general favor, but at the present
time the plans are only In a formative
stage. Fur tho present the Board of
Trade members, some of the leading ones
t'f which are. back of the new movement,
will devote their energies to straightening
out the affairs of that organization. Presi
dent F. E. Beach and V. R. Bagot and
other directors say the debts of the Board
will be paid beyond question at 100 cents
on the dollar. Whether this will be ac
complished by a stock assessment or vol
untary contributions Is a matter yet to
be determined.
F.fTorts were made yesterday to get the
directors of the Board together to dis
cuss the situation, but so many were out
of the city that the calling of the meeting
was postponed for several days.
Negotiations Have Been Opened.
The promoters of the new commercial
exchange have opened negotiations in
an informal way with the Merchants'
Exchange and have conducted more or
less of a canvass among the big grain
dealers of Portland.
It Is said the new exchange should
have a working capital of at least $10.
000 to start with, and that this amount
has been practically pledged and that
double that sum will undoubtedly be sub
scribed. The plan of operation suggested for
the new exchange is along the line adopt
ed by similar organizations in other
cities. The organization will not be a
promotion body In any sense of the
word and therefore will not be a rival
of the Commercial Club or Chamber of
Commerce. It is contended that with the
prowth of Portland as a grain port, a
demand has arisen for an exchange head
quarters conducted on metropolitan lines.
A large meeting-room Is desired where
staples of grain may be submitted and
purchases and sales made on the basis
of the samples. A standard committee
that will nx a standard acceptable In
JJverpool and other great grain ports Is
needed, with an arbitration board to set
tle disputes as to whether deliveries come
up to samples or not.
It Is said much ot this business in Port
land Is now transacted in the different
offices of the gralnbuyers or by tele
phone, and In general a rural community
way.
While the formation of such a body is
practically assured, the question as to
whether it will take over the present
Board of Trade and proceed under that
name, or adopt a new name, is a matter
of speculation, but the general sentiment
of the men promoting the enterprise is
for an entirely new organization with a
new name.
Debts Will Be Paid.
"All or the debts of the Board of Trade
were honestly contracted," said Presi
dent F. E. Beach yesterday, "and all
w-ill be paid.
"The Board simply has not kept its ex
penditures within its Income. The books
of the secretary. Mr. Muller, are in ex
cellent shape and show every item of re
ceipts and expenditures in concise form.
"The Board started with a strong mem
bership, but the difficulty seems to have
been that policies In certain matters were
adopted that displeased some of the
strongest supporters of the institution.
These withdrew and naturallv the re
ceipts fell off. Expenses were not cur
tailed to correspond with the reduced re
ceipts and the deficiency resulted.
"Yes, there has been considerable dis
cussion of the formation of a new com
mercial exchange." continued Mr. Beach
in reply to a question, "and it is my per
sonal opinion that it will be formed in
time. Some of the big grainbuyers are
strongly in favor of it. including Balfour
Outhrle & Co.. Peter Kerr and others'
Attempts at reorganization of the Board
'of Trade or the formation of a new ex
change, however, will probably be de
layed now until the financial affairs of
the Board are straightened out."
(rain Kxchangc Is Needed.
Tractically along the same lines was
the statement of W. It. Bagot. of the
,lobe Oraln & Milling Companv. who Is
e of th directors of the Board of
Trade.
"The debts of the Board will all be
paid, said Mr. Bagot yesterday, "but as
to Its future I can make absolutely no
prediction. There is room In Portland
for one strong commercial exchange, and
It Is possible that one will be formed.
"Mr. Muller's books show that he had
frequently called the attention of the old
Board of Directors to the financial con
dition of the Board, and seems. In all
respects to have acted under instructions
irom the various committees. I have
only recently become a member of the
Board of Directors and would not at
tempt to criticise anyone connected- with
Its management."
Secretary Fred Muller thinks the
Board of Trade will continue in exist
ence. He expresses confidence that the
debts will be fully paid and insists that
the present condition of the Board is not
due to mismanagement.
GRAND JURY USES PROBE
Iteport on Falsification of County
Records Awaited.
Unless all signs fail, the Countv Grand
Jury will, in the beginning of next week
and possibly at the end of this week'
make a report concerning the alleged
falsification of records in the office of
County Clerk Fields, whereby it is
charged attempts were made to defraud
the rightful owners of certain plots of
ground to their property. Frank Mich
aels, who has had to deal with Mrs Will
tarn J-unrut regarding 30 acres of land
on Sauvles Island, says his position in
the deal was perfectly correct and he can
show receipts for moneys paid to Mrs
I.unrut. also deeds which, he avers were
signed by her. indicating her willingness
to transfer the land.
He alleges that fhe not onlv signed
the Instruments, hut that she likewise
verbally expressed her willingness to do
no. He refers to a Mr. Reed, to whom
tie' says the property was at first con
MIT
FORMED
veyed by consent of .Mrs. Greenman, the
mother of Mrs. Lunrut, this notwith
standing the fact that the latter says
the property was inherited direct by her
from, her mother.
These assertions on both sides, includ
ing that of Mrs. Lunrut. to the effect
she never signed any deeds and that the
property legally remains her own, have
been taken into consideration by the
Grand Jury, whose report is awaited with
Interest.
FREIGHT RIGHTS LIMITED
Such Trafric Not Jjegal on City
Streetcar Lines.
City Attorney Kavanaugh gave to the
City Council yesterday afternoon an
opinion as to the rights of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company regard-
i"s ine . operation of freight cars over
Its lines and the granting by it of an ex
clusive privilege to the Pacific Bridge
Company to haul gravel over the car
lines. Mr. Kavanaugh holds that the
streetcar corporation - can legally run
freight trains over the Oregon Water
Power division, but that it is not author
ized to do so on the City and Suburban
and Portland Railway
elusive right can legally be given any
11 .v naui gravel.
The opinion was asked for by Council
man Rushlight, who said two weeks ago
that it was vitally related to the blanket
rranchi.se sought by the streetcar com
pany, and irranterl -o -1 t. .

JAMES TUFT FIXED
Barkentine Taken for Lumber
to Australian Port.
SECURED BY J. J. MOORE
First Ofr Shore Lumber Charter for
Present Week Foreign Business
Will Be Heavy During May.
Hates Steadily Advance.
J. J. Moore & Co. have chartered the
barkentine James Tuft. 1043 net tons,
to load lumber at Portland for Mel
bourne or Adelaide. The rate was not
made public. The Tuft Is now en route
from Newcastle for San Francisco with
a cargro of coal. She sailed from the
Australian port February 9 and should
be close In to the California coast by
this time.
The James Tuft is a four-masted ves
sel and was built by Hall Brothers at
Port Blakely In 1901 for G. E. Billings,
of San Francisco. She measures 215
feet in length, 42 feet beam and 17
feet depth of hold.
Lumber chartering: for off-shore
loading has been qniet during the pres
ent week, the Tuft beingr the first fix
ture reported. There are a number of
craft on the list for May loading- and
the export business will be heavy for
that month. The French barks

Berengere and Jacobsen, now discharg

to completion. The latter is under
charter to carry lumber to the United
Kingdom and In order to take a deck
load must complete cargo in time to
get away from the river by the end
of May.
During April rates have advanced
considerably for lumber for all points
off shore and on the West Coast. The
prospects for a big demand for grain
tonnage has prompted all owners of
disengaged ships to hang on for grain,
and as a result lumber vessels are
scarce.
LAUNCHING IS POSTPONED
Steamer Hyak Will Be Given Initial
Plunge Next Week.
Low water In the Willamette has
caused another postponement of the
launching of the new steamer Hyak
at the Supple shipyards. The date
was originally set for April 20. It is
now announced for the first week in
May. - The new Government boat No.
13. under construction at the Willam
ette Iron & Steel Works will be
launched during the same week.
The Hyak was built here for the
Kitsap Navigation Company for serv
ice on Puget Sound. When launched
she will be practically complete and
her trial trip will follow soon after.
It is expected that she will leave for
the Sound within a week after she
strikes the water. She will make bet
ter than ?0 miles an hour.
Notice to Mariners.
The British Colonial Secretary for the
FIJI Island, at Suval. has cabled that from
May 1 to June 1. 1909. approximately, the
light on Wallangllala Island, in Manuku
Passage. FIJI Islands, will be temporarily
replaced by a white light "visible all around
the horizon for a distance of eight miles.
Further notice will follow concerning th-a
characteristics of the new light to be in

CASES flRE DELAYED
Land-Fraud Trials Again Put

Cases Win ne Called at

l, l- POftant cases Pendinfr before
the federal Court, Including The Her!
inann and other untried land-fraud
i?I ZtZenrB,WUi not be taken up u
til next Fall, announced United States
Attorney McCourt yesterday. Both the
i?,IJlaL'nd the civil okets will SS
called before Judge Wolverton next
Monday when dates will be fixed for
the trial of the various cases
.t.JW, lndlans- charged with murder,
several cases of alleged unlawful .fene-
!t .PUbU land and otnc 'ess im
portant cases will be disposed of at
the coming term of the United States
Court. Among the cases of public In
terest to be tried Is that of Charles A.
Straus former cashier of the Portland
postofflce. who has been indicted for
;hL,vall.eged embezzlement of about
4000 of postal funds.
Other cases to be tried at this time
are: J. Williams, alias J. Rawlance.
smuggling opium; Amos W. Long for
giving out advance information regard
ing public land matters while in the
employ of the Government; "William
Hanley., charged with unlawfully tens
ing 85.000 acres of Government land
in Harney County; John Gilchrist,
charged with unlawfully enclosing
13,000 acres of public land, also in
Harney County, and Charles A. Pat
terson, indicted for perjury in connec
tion with an affidavit relating to a

Logsden are the two Indians who will
be tried for murder.
Aside from the land-fraud cases, in
which Indictments were returned in
1904 and 1905, other criminal cases
also will go oyer to the Kali term.
They include the charges of fraudulent
acquisition of public lands against J.
H. Raley and several other residents
of Umatilla County, and several in
dictments against J. W. Scriber. former
cashier of the Merchants' & Traders"
National Bank, of La Grande.
BECKER WILL- NOT PROSECUTE
Federal Case Against O. & C. Rail
road to Be Handled by Townsend.
It was announced at the Federal
building yesterday that Tracy C Beck
er, special assistant to the Attorney
General, would no longer be associ
ated with B. D. Townsend. also special
assistant to the Government's prose
cutor, in the prosecution of the suit of
the United States against the Oregon
& California Railroad Company for a
cancellation of its grant to over 2,000,
000 acres pf valuable timber land in
this state.
Present plans are that Mr. Becker
will represent the. Attorney-General in
disposing of pending land-fraud cases
which already have been tried. Aside
from appearing for the Government in
the appeals taken in the Blue Mountain
Forest Reserve case, in which F. P.
Mays and Willard N. Jones are the
defendants, and the "Los Angeles case."
in which several wealthy residents of
the California city are charged with
a conspiracy against the Government
in the acquisition of timber land, it is
not likely that Mr. Becker will be
further connected with the prosecu
tion of the land-fraud cases In this
state. The several-times-repeated an
nouncement that Francis J. Heney will
return to prosecute the Hermann and
other untried land-fraud cases has
been' renewed.
The last announcement on this sub
ject is to the effect that these cases
will be taken up in the Fall. These
are the cases In which the indictments
were returned about five years ago.
Kerr Pays Ills Fine.
W. T. Kerr, of Coquille, yesterday
paid Into the United States Court the
remaining installment of J100 on the
fine of $2000, which was imposed on
him following his conviction last No
vember for conspiracy In an attempt
to defraud the Government of title to
several thousand acres of valuable
timber land in Curry County. Kerr
was one of the defendants in what is
known as the "Los Angeles case."
which was tried before Judge Wolver
ton last Fall. Several of Kerr's as
sociates, who were convicted at the
same time, have appealed their cases

VARICOSE VEINS
This most prevalent of all dis
eases of men Is alo the most neg
lected, either through dread of the
harsh methods of treatment com
monly employed or through ignor
ance of the grave dangers that ac
company the disease. As varicose
veins interfere directly with the
circulation and process o waste
and repair throughout the organt
the necessity of a prompt and
thorough cure cannot be too forci
bly emphasized. I cure varicose
veins In one week by an absolute
ly painless process. Mv cures are
permanent and are accomplished
ln one week.
