TARIFF DISCUSSED
BY BUSINESS MEN
Rates on Lumber and Wool Un
satisfactory, but Free
Hides Please All. '
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

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.
