' GLAD ISSUES ARE SETTLED Dealers Atfeeted Declare That Eren Undesirable Duties Are Better Than Suspense Existing for Months FaU Almost without exception. Portland business men are plsased that the long-drawn-out tariff question is at last at the point of belns; settled. In fact, the word "pleased" inadequately ex presses the state of mind of a number of leading manufacturers and mer chants who wore asked their opinions of several of the new schedules by The Oregonian yesterday most of them wero unreservedly delighted. Wheth er some of the revised schedules ore all that they might be is quite another question, for many Portlanders, par ticularly those Interested in the lumber trade, are much disappointed with them, but all agree that, for better or for worse. It will be greatly to the ad vantage of business in all lines to have the matter definitely settled and dl.-iposed of. 1 One of the sew eobedules, at least, seems to hava gained general approval. That is the provision of the new bill by which hides are admitted free of duty. Portland leather-dealera took an active part in petitioning Congress to place hides on the free list, and they are correspondingly jubilant over the success of their pet project. While there is some difference of opinion aa to whether there will be any perma nent lowering of the price of leather as a result, the local dealers are con fident that the removal of the duty will prevent a raise In prices, which they declare would surely have re sulted otherwise. Glad Suspense) Is Oyer. That business of every nature will be vastly benefited by the final disposal of the whole matter Is the universal belief of all who were Interviewed yesterday. Business men will now know, at least, what they have to con tend with. It was said, and the aus pense which has been injuring and checking business for months will be removed. W. B. Mackay, manager, of the North Pacific Lumber Company, was the first man asked by The Oregonlan for his opinion of the new schedule of 11.26 per thousand on dressed lumber. Mr. Mackay seemed to express the feelings of lumbermen generally in saying this rate was a great disappointment. "We shall simply have to make the most of it. but the new schedule is a disappointment to the lumber interests generally." said Mr. Mackay. "It will put us in competition with the British r Columbia timbermen with their cheap Japanese and Hindu labor, and their lower taxes on timber there, together with the fact they can put lumber into San Francisco and other United States coast ports on foreign ships that Is to say, their own ships. These three things put American lumbermen under a big handicap. I am not prepared to say absolutely that the tariff will not afford adequate protection, for time only can tell that, but It looks as though it would not cover the differ ence between the cost of our product and that of the Canadians.". Activity to Be Revived. 'The tariff as it should be fixed on lumber should be sufficient so that the lumber ' manufacturer would have enough protection to cover the absolute cost of difference In production here and in Canada." said W. B.Ayer. presi dent of the Eastern & western Lum ber Company. "It remains to be seen whether the new schedule does oiler that protection. I hope to see it work out so that It does, and so there will be a revival in activity in the lumber business, now that the tariff bill Is at last out of the way. The business has been absolutely stagnant and unprofit able for the past two years. I am very glad that the tariff Is settled any wa v." H. B. Van Duser. of Inman & Poulsen's, declared that of more importance than the amount of the tariff is the fact that the bill is finally out of the way. "Tariff or no tariff makes little difference to us." said Mr. Van Dnser. "We are not afraid of free trade. The main thing is to get it settled and done with so we can know where we stand. As far as the new rata as agreed upon for dressed lumber is concerned. It is not going to affect .the market much, except that it will be much better than when we didn't know what wss going to happen." "The new schedule disappoints us." de clared Fred C. Knapp. secretary of the Peninsula Lumber Company. "We really feci that the lumber of the United States should have had a $2 duty. Anything under tl 50 Is really an injustice to the lumbermen, when the tariff changes in other lines are taken into account. Wa have the matter of taxes against us. Taxes are as low as .4o for 1 acres In seme places In Canada, while their hishest tax is J140 on a section. Compar ing those figures with taxes in this coun try, it shows a big difference against us. l he Canadians also get off with cheaper transportation and wages. Business in general, however, will be benefited by the settlement of the tariff question." Charles P. Hogue. secretary of the East S:de Mill Lumber Company, said: "We are altogether indifferent. I expect to see Hie Canadian government put on an ex port duty on logs for revenue purposes, which will do much to offset any lack of protection. I don't think it makes much difference what the tariff is it will not with ua. "Much more Important than the tariff Is the settlement of the matter. That Is what I regard as the essential thing." The sentiment of dealers In hides was w;ll expressed by Charles L. Mastick. of Charles L. Mastick Co.. who is said to b perhaps the best versed man on this subject in the city. All "Wanted Free Hides. Tree hides are what we have all wanted." said Mr. Mastick. "and of course we are pleased at having obtained them. As I figure it. the world's supply of bides Is Just enough to go around. There Is no surplus. So I do not think the removal of the tariff will result in any reduction, but it will keep the price from going up 10 or IS per cent, as it would almost surely have dona otherwise. Thus free hides will prevent an advance in prices, and will do much to keep the product out of tha hands of the trusti It should o understood that the price of hides has nothing to do with the price of cattle. Thus, lot Instance, ft) days ago the best steers on the- hoof were selling at cents a pound, while today they are sell ing at 44 cents a pound. On the other band. 2 lea W days ago wero seUlfis; at 12 cents and today they are 14H cents a pound." "Aa far as I know." said William O. Breyman, president of the Breyman Leather Company, "every leather dealer and tanner has been working for free hides. The removal of the duty is bound to reduce leather somewhat it will take some time, but I am sure that in the course of a few months all leath er will be cheaper. It Is a fact that the producer has not gotten value for his hides, for the large packers have eon trolled the product. Frea hides mean that tanners will be thrown into the markets of the world for their hides and will wrest the control from the hands of the trust. Tha people are bound to benefit by it." "I balleve that no difference in the price of heavy leather will result." said William Bodman. for J. A. Strowbridge & Company. "Leather Is very firm now, with a cent raise during the last day ot so, and the demand is greater than the supply. Some of the light hides may possibly be lowered in price somewhat. The trust controls the trade as It Is. and I hope that the proposition of frea bides may weaken their grip on It." "We are muoh pleased with the schedule," said W. D. Outman of W. H. McMonles Company. "The mar ket which toot an upward trend when it was announced tha Senate would levy a 15 per cent duty has practically settled with tha announcement of no duty. It will help out -very much. We were confronted with the problem of getting out future business for Spring, and didn't want to book our orders on a constantly rising market. But now conditions in the trade will undoubtedly be settled shortly. The prospect Is very good." ' EAGLES ON E LOCAL AERIE EXJOYS OUTIXG OX COLUMBIA IUVER. Vnablc to Handle Big Crowd, Steam er Leaves Slany Members on Dock. With many members of the local aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles on board, the steamer Joseph Kellogg made a run up the Columbia Kiver yesterday. The boat had a permit for a limited number of passengers and about five times the number allowed by law ap peared and demanded to be taken on board. It was found necessary to back the boat out from the dock and to take the balance of the passengers over the bow as she lay nosa In to the wharf. Those left on the dock were not bash ful In expressing the disappointment felt at being left. With a limit passenger list and several hundred disappointed travelers left on the dock, the steamer Bailey Gatiert made the round trip to the Cascades yes terday. Long before the hour set for departure customs officials ordered the gang plank pulled In and the boat got under way. The Bailey Gatzert Is al lowed 642 passengers on a daylight run. Launches of ail descriptions were in evi dence yesterday and owners of power craft for hire netted large sums. People, unable to obtain passage on the regular steamers, chartered anything that would float. Every available picnic ground along tha river was in use yesterday.
