COMPLAINTS ARE FILED
Coast Cities Will Insist That Rates
Into Spokane Be Placed on Same
Basis as Rates From Spokane.
Big Issue Is Opened.
OLTMFIA. Wash.. June 1. rSpecIal.)
Complaints filed with the State Railroad
Commission here today mean that Spo
kane -will lose more from curtailment of
her present exclusive jobbing zone than
ahe has gained from her recent interstate
commerce decision in her favor giving
that city an advantage over the coast
on shipments from the East. Students
of rate condition in the Northwest have
long been aware that Spokane was com
mitting hart kari in her course, con
tending publicly for years she was the
victim of most oppressive freight rates.
Spokane has nevertheless shown the
highest proportional general increase of
Jobbing trade of any point on the line of
the Hill Roads.
Because of her loud grumbling Spokane
has been favored by the roads with a
distributing Tate which controlled an area
3n miles or more In each direction, a
rate which In every essential element op
poses the rules governing fair and rea
sonable rates. For instance. Spokane
Jobbers have the benefit of a rate Into
the Palouse country from Spokane of
one-half or less of what the same com
modities are charged for shipment from
the Palouse country into Spokane.
Today commercial organizations of Se
attle and Tacoma Hied formal but blanket
complaint with the State Railroad Com
mission that state rates on the Northern
Pacific and other roads from the Coast to
interior points are too high, unjust and
unreasonable. Complaint has heretofore
been made to the Commission that fair
ness and common decency demanded that
rates on the same commodity into Spo
kane be the same as out of Spokane for
the same distance, rhulrman roi-,-1,11,1
ffthe Commission, said this evening:
"These complaints mean that the ("om-
win nave to go Into the entire
state rate proposition. Every rate be
tween every two points In the state on
every commodity will have to be con
sidered, that exact justice he rir.no
Falrchlld naturally declined to dis
cuss the probable effect of the hearing
; on the Spokane jobbing zone. Inasmuch
; as he will he one of the commissioners
i -who will frame the decision. So long
j go as 1906, however, the railroad com
, mission. In its report. Indicated what
J would happen should the special unfair
I discrimination of rates in favor of Spo-
lcane ever reach the commission for a
fair and honest determination.
In 1906 the commission established
distance tariff for the entire state
, and publicly announced it could not
! make a proper and fair tariff- then
without practically destroying the Spo
, kane jobbing zone. In view of the then
pending interstate case, the commission
made a tariff that would not compli
; cate the situation, and left Spokane
her zone. The commissioners have been
J hoping the case would not come to
, them. realizing they must decide
; against Spokane, but now that it has
come, they will do their duty and de
cide the case on the law and the facts.
OREGON BOARD FILES SUIT
''.Rate on Wool Shipments to East Too
High, Is Charge.
SALEM. Or.. June 1. Special. ) The
. Ptate Railroad Commission of Oregon
today filed a complaint with the Inier
! state Commerce Commission against
! the X). R. & N.. the Oregon Short Line
! and 50 or more connecting Eastern
: lines, charging that wool rates are "un-
reasonable and unjust, both generally
: and relatively In consideration of the
transportation services performed, and
are discriminatory and unduly prejudi
cial to the said dealers and shippers
in that they are higher than the rates
, now in force and charged by the said
defendants for the transportation over
their lines of wool of all kinds from
Portland. Oregon, to Atlantic Coast
and other Eastern points."
The complaint is a comprehensive one.
; embracing rates on wool in effect from
Jail leading Oregon points to Chicago,
1 New York, Boston, Baltimore and oth
' cr Eastern points. The comparative
; tables show that wool rates to the East
are much higher from Eastern Oregon
points than from Portland. The rail-
, roads explain this by the fact that
Portland has the advantage of water
competition. The Railro.id Commission
admits that water competition must
be taken into consideration, but main
tains that the rates on wooi from East
ern Oregon to points in the East should
'. not be higher than the rates now In
force from Portland to the East. In
. other words, the Portland rate is high
enough for the service from any part
of the state. The wool in grease in
; sriuare bales shows that the rate from
Troutdale to Baltimore and common
points In J1.02i per hundred pounds,
while the rate from Elgin is $1.95. A
' Flmilnr increase is shown from all other
Eastern Oregon points.
The State Railroad Commission prays
that defendant railroad companies be
ordered to desist from the alleged vio
lations of the act to regulate commerce,
that an order be entered fixing a max
imum rate on wool and that the In
terstate Commerce Commission pre
scribe such rules and regulations as
will prevent a continuation of the un
just rates.

t
Affirms Right of Title by Ad
verse Possession.
SUPREME COURT DECISION
Eastern Oregon Land Suit Cpsets
Precedent' Long Followed In
Oregon Court Stands Tie
in Atwood Case.
SALEM, Or.. June Notwithstanding
the Supreme Court of Oregon had upon
three previous and separate occasions pro
mulgated the doctrine in this state that
title to land by adverse possession would
not hold as against an adverse claim of
title by prior grant, Judge George B.
Davis, of the Circuit Court for Malheur
County, took a contrary view from these
authorities in the case of Christ C. Boe
appellant, vs. Hoyt Arnold, respondent
and the Supreme Court, in an opinion
written by Justice McBride today, recedes
from the previous doctrine established and
upholds Judge Davis' contentions fully.
In so doing the Supreme Court reverses
the opinions of former Justices Wolverton
and Bean, now Judges of the United
States Courts for Oregon, and establishes
the doctrine of right of title by adverse
possession over all other rights, recog
nizing the superior title of the United
States.
The suit at issue was brought to
quiet title to a tract of land in Mal
heur County, occupied by respondent
Arnold as lessor, being a part of the
original homestead claim of Josiah H.
Chandler and lying within the boun
daries of the Government grant
claimed by the Willamette Valley &
Cascade Mountain Wagon Road Com
pany, selected by virtue of the act of
Congress of July 5. 1866, in which the
court holds that Arnold by reason of
the right of title vested in Chandler,
under homestead patent and adverse
possession, maintains possession of the
land.
Justice King, in an opinion handed
down today, dissents from the opinion
of the Supreme Court, given several
w-eeks ago. in which the petition of
Charles W. Walton, for a rehearing of
the appeal from the decree of the Cir
cuit Court for Multnomah County was
denied.
For the first time in the history of
the Supreme Court of Oregon, so far
as can be ascertained, there was a tie
vote upon the issues of a case on ap
peal in which it stood two for affirma
tion and two for reversal, and the rule
in such cases being that in case of a
tie or doubt the respondent is entitled
to the benefit, the decree of the trial
court is affirmed. This Is in the case
of the State agaLnst C. H. and C. H. T.
Atwood. in which the defendants and
appellants were convicted of having
performed an illegal operation upon
one Mahala Roberts, in Portland, in
190S. and were sentenced to the peni
tentiary. Justices Moore and Eakin
wrote the affrmatlve opinion and Jus
tice King dissented for himself and
Justice Slater.
Justice McBride. being newly on the
bench, had no vote on the Issue.
Other cases decided were:
A. F. p'legel, appellant, vs. Peter
Dowling, from Multnomah County, A.
L. Eraser. Judge; reversed. Opinion by
Justice Slater.
E. B. Seabrook, respondent, vs. Coos
Bay Ice & Cold Storage Company, from
Coos County; J. W. Hamilton, Judge;
reversed and remanded. Opinion by
Justice Eakin.
E. B. Hanley, respondent, vs. W. H.
Stewart. Jackson County, motion to dis
miss allowed.
Multnomah Lumber & Box Company,
respondent, vs. Western Basket & Bar
rel Company, Multnomah County; peti
tion for rehearing denied.
A. A. Cunningham, respondent, vs.
Klamath Lake Railroad Company,
Multnomah County; petition for rehear
ing denied.

PATTI IN COLD CASH.
In "Semiramide" She RmpIvmI
4 2 5-8 Cents Per Note. .
Bookman.
Adellna Patti never suffered from the
financial timidity of a Jenny Land. Not
only was she a supreme vocalist, but, as
Colonel Mapleson remarked, "no one ever
approached her in the art of obtaining
from the manager the greatest possible
sum he could by any possibility contrive
to pay." But the musical miracle was
the spoiled darling of her day, and she
never failed to obtain exactly what she
wanted.
Patti was first engaged in London in
1861. by Mapleson, to sing four nights "on
approval, and, in case of success to obtain
40 a week. This contract was not ful
filled, however, for being hard pressed
financially, she had borrowed 50 from a
rival manager and her receipt proved
practically a contract.. This was the be
ginning of a career so dazzling that its
successive steps are simply a series of in
creasing bank notes. In 1S72 she obtained
in London 200 guineas a night, since she
insisted on having more than Christina
Nilsson. who was receiving 200. She
sang twice a week.
Ten years later she was given $5000 a
night! Her famous contract to sing in
America provided that the money should
be paid her at 2 o'clock on the day she
sang, also a drawing room and sleeping
car to be especially built for her with
conservatory and fernery, etc. Further,
there was to be deposited to her credit
JRO.OOO for payment of the last 10 perform,
ances Patti's favorite device. She thus
received about 20 times what Mario and
Grisi got. Her private car, incidetally.
cost $(50,000 and contained a silver bath
and gold keys to the doors to say noth
ing of a $2000 piano. Patti only gave to
the manager her voice and her costumes.
Her drawing capacity justified this: "Lu
cia," as an example, - was sung to an
average of $14,000. "Traviata" drew more,
since she sang more notes; it was a fre
quent occurrence among the poorer music
lovers to buy a club ticket and each take
turns at hearing her for 20 minutes; if
one overstayed his time he paid for the
entire ticket. Soma mathematicians com
puted, by dividing number of notes by
sum paid, that in "Semiramide" Patti re
ceived 425, cents for each note. This was
found to be Just 7 1-10 cents per note more
than Rossini got for writing the whole
opera.
FLYING NOT DANGEROUS
But as Yet Americans Haven't Had
the Chance.
Outing Magazine.
Now get it ont of your head, in the
nrst place, that flying is an exceptionally
dangerous pastime. To the contrary-.
And. at the same time, clear your mind
of the idea that the "Wright flier" is not
suited for ordinary man. If you will ask
the Wrights themselves about the future
or their invention, ten chances to one their
first effort will be to deprive you of a lot
of high-falutin notions. One of them Is
the general impression that they are going
to put the railroad out of business. They
grin when you suggest things like this
or that the ocean liner is, doomed. And
when you inquire whether the motor car
Is now on the way to the scrap heap, they
try hard to look polite and interested. The
truth of the matter is that the Wrights
never miss a good chance to club an Idea
HKe jms over tne head, hitting it a good,
solid thump before the idea has even had
time enough to sit up and take notice.
Why? W7ell, that's easy too. Because the
flying machine, as they will patiently tell
you. seems to lack a probable, or even a
remotely plausible, chance of disturbing,
in the least way, the present methods of
transportation. Instead, It only adds one

No Mere Man May Pass Through
the Parlor Portals.
London Letter to Chicago Inter-Ocean.
A room sacred to woman, a room which
only the names of male visitors may en
ter, where women may await their escorts
without being subjected to the stare of
every passerby this is the latest addition
to the up-to-date hotel. It is to fill the
need for such a room that a combination
of sun bath, lounge and boudoir is now
being constructed oft the Savoy Hotel.
Glass windows, curtained from within
so that women may look out for their es
corts when they will, but insuring abso
lute privacy from the masculine eye, will
be a feature of the room, which will ex
tend some SO feet back from its en
trance. The top may be entirely of glass,
so that milady may recline in an easy
chair and take a brief sunbath as she
wiles away the minutes until tea, dinner
or supper. There, too. she may find sol
ace in a lemon squash or cup of tea. or
beautify herself with the many toilet ac
cessories provided . before the long mir
rors. "Our idea," said the manager of the
hotel, "is to make women who come to
the Savoy to tea, dinner or supper under
stand that, when circumstances make it
impossible for them to come with their
escorts, they may wait here quietly and
in privacy.
"It frequently happens that It is incon
venient for a man to come at the same
time as his wife or sister, and In the
past women thus compelled to wait have
had no mica pleasant arrangements pro
vided for them.
"It is. of course, true that even In the
best hotels the managers have to exer
cise great vigilance in seeing to it that
no social wolves in lambs' clothing cause
annoyance to their women patrons. I
think I have solved this problem at last."
