Difficulties of Competing With

0. R. & N. CASE NEAR END
Jj. Allen liewls Tells Commission
Railroads Hare Been liaising
Tariffs Eastward to Be Beady
for Coast Competition.
Since the Panama Canal became a
certainty, the railroads have been
gradually raising- their rates eastward
from the Pacific Coast, that they mlsrht
effectually meet the water competition
when the canal is completed, accord
ing to a statement made by L. Allen
Lewis, while testifying before the In
terstate Commerce Commission yester
day in behalf of the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce. In its effort to ret
lower distributive rates over the O. K.
& N. eastward.
The members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, with the exception
of Charles A. Prouty. who returned
East recentlv. arrived from Seattle yes
terday mornlns; and spent the day In
listening to verbal evidence in behalf
of the Portland merchants. The hear
In of the O. R. N case, it is ex
pected, will be finished today, but the
arguments will not be heard until af
ter the commissioners return to Wash
ington. East Favored by Rates.
Mr. Lewis, who Is a member of one
of the largest wholesale grocery firms
in the Northwest, and who Is a mem
ber also of the transportation com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce,
having formerly been chairman of the
committee, was the chief witness in
the hearing yesterday. He testified that
the business of his firm had been
crowded from Idaho and some other
localities by a relatively higher rate
on groceries having been established
to those points from Portland than
from other distributing points, which
are further east.
W. W. Cotton, legal representative
of the O. R. & N.. tried to force Mr.
Lewis to explain how much his busi
ness had increased since It had been
limited to the smaller area he described,
but J. N. Teal, attorney for the Cham
ber of Commerce, objected to this
question on the ground that the com
mission had no right to inquire into
private business affairs.
At this point the commission took
Its noon recess, and when it convened
in the afternoon it was decided that
Mr. Lewis should answer the ques
tion in a general way, so far as it ap
plied to dealers of the city generally.
Replying to this. Mr. Allen acknowl
edged that business had been good in
Portland, and that he understood that
in many instances firms had enjoyed
Incomes of as much as 20 per cent on
the capital invested.
Cotton Asks About Income.
Attorney Cotton had arguid. as an
excuse for asking for this Information,
that as the country had enjoyed gen
eral prosperity for a number of years,
it was only fair that the O. K. & N.
should have been allowed to share in
it. He wanted to know what Income
Mr. Lewis firm enjoyed on the amount
Invested, and in reply to a similar
question asked of him about the O.
R. & N.. he explained' that the Income
of the company had been seven and
eight per cent on the amount the
company deemed the roaa to oe worm.
When Herman Wittenberg was called
to the stand In the afternoon he se
verely cirflclsed Mr. Cotton for having
asked Mr. Lewis for the earnings of hls
firm on the amount invested, and trying-
to compare this with the earnings
of the railroad company, based on the
present value of the company's hold
ings, which includes the commercial
value of the peculiar monopoly it en
' 5oys. and not based on the amount In
vested by the company in its property.
Mr. Cotton received this sharp criti
cism without offering any explanation.
Mr. Lewis said that while the rail
road had been discriminating in favor
of the Eastern merchants, and had
made it possible for smaller distrib
uting cepters to take trade from Port
land, the chief complaint he had to
make against the company and the
Oregon Short Line was that the rates
generally were too high, when com
pared with the earnings of the road.
In this sentiment Mr. Lewis had the
support of other witnesses placed on
the stand yesterday, and schedules of
rates, compared with those of the O. R.
& N. and Oregon Short Line, which
were filed yesterday by Attorney Teal,
seemed to confirm this.
Earnings of Roads Gain.
Mr. Teal presented statistics to
prove, also, that the O. R. N. and
Union Pacific had greatly increased In
earning capacity between 1898 and
1909. According to figures prepared by
the auditor of the O. R. & N., Mr. Teal
showed that the gross earnings of the
company during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1S88. amounted to 15.317,068.55,
while for the year ending June 30,
1909, the gross earnings were $17,988,
268.75. In the two years Involved In
the comparison there had been little
variation In the number of miles of
road operated, for during the former
fiscal year the mileage of the com
pany was 1438, and during the last
fiscal year It was 1460. There was also
a mass of technical statistics regard
ing the amount of tonnage hauled and
the physical conditions of the road.
In making comparisons in the rate
for similar distances between O. R. 4
N. and Oregon Short Line points and
certain points on other roads, Mr. Teal
presented striking differences. As an
Illustration of these numerous com
parisons is the following, which com
prises relative distances:
The distance by way of the O. R. A
K. and Oiegon Short Line from Port
land to Pocatello, Idaho, Is given as
731 miles, and the average freight rate
for that section of road is quoted as
being J1.S5 a hundred pounds, or
to.00457 a mile, for the same amount.
The average westward rates between
St. Paul and Tuslor, Montana, a dis
tance of 734 miles, is quoted at 11.29 a
hundred pounds over the Northern Pa
cific Company's road.
From Portland to North Powder, a
distance of 336 miles, the O. R. AV N.
has an average rate of 11.07 a hundred
pounds, while for a longer distance,
from Minneapolis westward to Kemp
ton, X. D., 338 miles, the Great North
ern Railway has an average rate of
only 32 cents a hundred pounds.
Compares Rates on Chairs.
A. J. ' Kingsly. a chair manufacturer
of Portland, told the Commission that
- when he was In the same business in
Grand Ledge, Mich., he had discovered
that conditions in Portland favored
the business here, and thus two years
ago be began to operate a chair manu
factory In this city. When he began
to ship his product, however, he found
that he could not send it far to the
Interior, owing to the advantage East
ern manulacturers had In the matter of
rate westward. Thus only 6 per cent
of his shipments go east of The Dalles.
The advantage the Eastern firms
have over him, Mr. Kingsly said, was
a special commodity rate granted them
for mixed carloads, while he could ship
chairs only, and they had to go in less
than carload lots, which was far In
excess of the mixed carload rates from
the Middle-West. In this way it costs
him to ship a dozen chairs to Twin
Kalis. Idaho. 86.75. while from Michi
gan they can be shipped there for al
most half that rate by taking ad
vantage of the mixed carload schedule.
If the rates were equal from the
Middle Western States to Idaho and
Eastern Washington points, Mr. Kings
ly said, he would still be compelled to
overcome a 15 per cent difference in
the cost of manufacturing In favor of
the Middle West, w here labor Is cheap
er than here. ,
Mr. Wittenberg told the Commission
that he was chairman of the transpor
tation committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, and that he -Was also a
member of a biscuit manufacturing
firm that had eight factories on the
Pacific Coast.
Roads Could Stand Reduction.
Attorney Cotton tried to show him
that for his line of goods Portland had
better rates than does Salt Lake City,
but In reply to this Mr. Wittenberg
declared that it was not his complaint
that Salt Lake had a better rate, or
that any other Western city enjoyed a
better rate, but he declared that East
ern sections had better rates westward
than are, enjoyed by Western cities
in rates eastward. The earnings of
the O. R. Sc. N.. Mr. Wittenberg stated,
he was .-ertaln was large enough to
permit of a material reduction, and
that, more than anything else, was
desired.
When it was suggested to him that
he mirfht be satisfied with a reduction
for Portland, if rates westward were
lowered accordingly, Mr. Wittenberg
jjaid such a thing would still leave
dissatisfaction, for Pacific Coast
manufacturers could not compete with
those In the East as long as the latter
were favored with lower rates.
J. R. Bowles, who is engaged in pre
paring structural steel, complained to
the Commission that the rates for raw
steel from the East are the same as for
the finished product, which permits his
Eastern competitors to deliver the com
plete material for building at interior
points for the same freight rates as
he must pay for the raw material with
Its wastes to Portland. Thus, he de
clared, competition is made difficult.
If the Commission completes the
hearing of the O. R. & N. case today,
it wlil take up tomorrow what Is
known as the "wool case." which In
volves the shipment of that product
East.

In a new role, that cf pianist and com
posesr.' Four o'clock was tta linur, the Port
land Hotel the place, but the' girl was
missing. Feeling there was a misunder
standing, I glanced Into the large drawing-room
of the hostelry and discovered
the "girl of the Golden West" seated at
the grand piano, absorbed with a pianis
simo digital movement which she was
jotting down on paper. Discovering an
Intruder, she at once desisted apologeti
cally and thrust out a cordial welcoming
hand. "Just taking advantage of the
moment to compose some music to ac
company a gift." However, expressing
surprise at this unknown accomplishment
seemed superfluous, as Oregonlarts who
claim her as part and parcel have long
since ceased to marvel at the crescendo
versatility of her art.
There is something so pathetically
bromidic about the question, "And how
does It seem to be back in Portland?"
that a Billlken smile permeated my fea
tures when Miss Bate anticipated my
query and with her easy adaptability
awung Into the tempo. J"Tls simply
glorious to return to my native heath,"
she said, "and the changes are remark
able. I have just come in from a pleas
ant jaunt to. the golf links with Miss
Flanders and Miss Louise Flanders and
I was forcefully impressed with Port
land's growth and building activities."
Miss Bates, who Is athletic to a de
cided degree, insisted that we sit on a
divan near the gallery to draw in the
ozone of the Springlike October day, and
thus ensconsed we waxed forth in the
coziest of chats.
Hers Is a face remarkably sensitive to
changes of expression, impetuosity, and
hands that tell of nervous force, an elec
tric personality describes it perfectly and
were It not for a superb constitution,
she would suffer dlrefully, as she works
like a dynamo and bubbles over with en
thuslasm. Her humor, which Is deilclous
ly keen, and potently refreshing. Is made
more expressive by her big brown eyes
which frequently have an attack of
spontaneous combustion.
When asked if she had brought her
horses with her as on her previous visit
In "The Darling of the Gods." sne re
gretted that she had not, "but," with a
gesticulation of her hands, which move
with the rapidity of Pathe films. "1 am
now absorbing a formidable array of
books which I am carrying with me."
A discussion then followed which proved
how much enjoyment she derived from
reading and I was at once Impressed
with her retentive memory, though her
was far from attempting an assumption
of awe compelling erudition.
Blanohe Bates is not a faddist, her

Assistant Postmaster Grand

OFFICIAL IS ON VACATION
Hitchcock's Right-Hand Man Calls
Here Unexpectedly Began In
Minor Federal Position and
Climbed to the Top.
Unheralded. First Assistant Postmaster-General
Grandfleld dropped in
to town yesterday, creating quite
a stir in the Federal building by sud
denly bursting in upon Postmaster
Young's subalterns. who were not
aware that the next man to Postmaster-General
Hitchcock, like his chief,
was away from the fountain head of
postal authority. Postmaster Young
had an intimation that Mr. Grandfleld
would visit Portland yesterday, but
missed him at the train, the First As
sistant Postmaster-General announc
ing himself in the Federal building
while Postmaster Young waited at the
depot.
Mr. Grandfleld Is enjoying a vaca
tion and simply stopped in Portland
for an hour or so on his way to Los
Angeles, where he will visit his aged
mother. He came here direct from a
fishing trip with a friend in Wisconsin,
declaring Portland charmed him 26
years ago, and that he could not pass
through Oregon without a second
glimpse of the city he has since ad
mired for its magnlflicent postoftice
record. .
"I am perfectly astounded," said Mr.
Grandfleld when asked for his opinion
of Portland compared to the city as
he found it in 1888. "Portland is a
great city and Its growth has been
marvelous. Twenty-six years ago,
when quite a boy. I passed through
Portland and spent the Summer in a
logging camp near Rainier. I have not
been In the Pacific Northwest since. I
would like to pass a longer time in
Portland but have taken a vacation
principally to see my' mother, now an
aged woman, in Los Angeles, and if
I prolong my visit here it would be
taking time that belongs to her. For
that reason I must forego the pleasure
of a longer visit In Portland."
Mr. Grandfleld had slight opportu
nity to view Portland, train-time and
introduction to the heads of the de
partments allowing him less than an
hour for a sight-seeing trip. .Postmas
ter Young called all the chiefs of de
partments among his subalterns to
meet the right-hand man of Postmas-tsr-General
Hitchcock. Mr. Grand
field, short, plump, and forty was a
hail-fellow-well-met among them, and
In the Inner office of Postmaster
Young, where the mall-men gathered,
the laughs were many and hearty as
the distinguished official told of his
tasks as a postoftice clerk in his
youth. He departed for the South on
the 6-o'clock train.
Mr. Grandfleld has been In the Post
office Department service ever since
1885, two years after his first sight of
Portland, his rise being steady from a
minor position to the next to the high
est rung of the Postofflce ladder.
When Mr. Hitchcock left his desk
as First Assistant Postmaster-General
to manage Mr. Taft's campaign, he was
replaced by Mr. Grandfleld. The elec
tion of Mr. Taft as President, and the
subsequent appointment ' of Mr. Hitch
cock as Postmaster-General, left Mr.
Grandfleld in the position he now
holds.

Nervous Dyspepsia
And Neurasthenia
Weakness of the Nervous System
Often Dependent Upon Long
Continued Indigestion.
Xrnrastheala, also known as "nervous
exhaustion." "nervous debilllty." and
"nervous prostration," Is a disease,
which in these modern, strenuous times
is becoming more and more prevalent.
It Is a condition in which there Is more
or less marked and persistent loss of
energy, together with considerable ir
ritability. Persons who suffer from this trouble
are easily excited and Irritated; cannot
do as much work as formerly, and In
attempting any mental effort, quickly
become confused, and are . unable to
concentrate the attention. They also
complain of insomnia, nervous indiges
tion, depression of spirits, and palpita
tion of the heart.
There Is a general muscular weak
ness: the person cannot walk very far,
and tires quickly on attempting physi
cal exertion. There is a ringing in the
ears; blurring of eyesight; headache
and vertigo; specks floating before the
eyes, and a general restlessness. The
ability to sustain prolonged Intellectual
effort Is Interfered with, and the pa
tient Imagines he Is losing his mem
ory. Neurasthenics continually watch for
new symptoms, unconsciously exagger
ate the old ones, attaching undue Im
portance to them. Causeless fear is
i . jraflH nf some
impending danger; extreme pessimism;
dark forebodings, and hysteria. Sleep
Is not refreshing, and the person feels
much more tired In the. morning than
at night. Horrible dreams and night
mare are usually complained of.
But by far the most prominent mani
festation of Sieurasthenla is Xervoua
Dvupepala. In nearly every case, this
disturbance of the stomach dominates
the complaint. Cause and effect may
be transposed, and dyspepsia may be
the result of Neurasthenia, but oftener,
Indigestion is the original cause of the
nervous condition. The nerves are
slmplv "starved" because Jhe stomach
does not digest the food properly, and
as the nerves are dependent upon the
food which the blood absorbs from the
stomach for their sustenance, any de
privation thereof is sure to cause nerve
TiVC&lCR QSS.
The use of "nerve tonics" In this con
dition is a mistake; they merely stimu
late, but do not rebuild nerve tissue.
Completely digested food Is the only
true nerve builder and strengthener;
and ln the treatment of nervous ex
haustion one should first cure the nerv
ous dyspepsia, which Is usually the
origin of the trouble, by taking STU
ART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS in doses
of one or two after each meal, or
whenever needed, and the long train
of nervous symptoms will be cured
alqng with the nervous dyspepsia.
This celebrated remedy is without a
peer in the treatment of nervous Indi
gestion and, in fact. Indigestion of any
kind. They digest all the food with
great thoroughness, and facilitate its
absorption by the blood, which carries
it to the weakened, diseased nerves and
builds them up, so that every symptom
of Nervous Exhaustion is gotten rid of.

Y, M. C. A. Originates New Plan in
Educational Field.
A novel idea in the educational field
has been originated by the Portland
Young Men's Christian Association and
is Just being put into effect. "Educa
tion on the meal ticket plan," Is the
way It Is described by Educational Di
rector French. It Is a good deal of an
experiment at present, but It is be
lieved that it will work out satisfac
torily and be adopted by the educational
department of the Y. M. C. A. In other
cities.
The plan la simply to Issue tickets
good for a certain number of lessons
in any desired branch. The card will
closely resemble the usual restaurant
meal ticket and when a lesson Is taken
the card will be punched. The purpose
Is to allow the lessons to be taken at
any time desired Instead of requiring
attendance at certain regular periods.
The educational directors of the Y. M.
C. A. explain that- they are trying to
meet the needs of men In many voca
tions who arevcompelled to be absent
from, the city a large part of the tinte.
Timber cruisers, surveyors, railway
mall clerks and men in other similar
employments will be served by the new
system. After they secure the tickets
they will be expected to study during
their spare time while out of the city
and' on their return will be given
private lessons. Although officers of
the association realize that the ex
penses of such a system will consider
ably exceed the tuition receipts, as Is
the case to a degree In all the educa
tional work, they believe that the bene
fits to be derived will fully Justify the
outlay.

and Superintendent Rlgler was asked to
submit some plans that will be acted
upon later. It was admitted by the direc
tors that some of the grounds owned by
the district are poorly kept, the Irving
ton school being pointed out especially
by Director Sabin as "a disgrace to the
district." "It Is allowed to run to weeks
nnd thistles," he said, "and, If the ordi
nances were rigidly enforced by the
police. I suspect that, at least, our chair
man would be In Jail now." This caused
a general laugh, In which Chairman
Fleischner Joined. It Is the idea of Mr.
Sabin that at least a portion of each
school yard should be seeded to grass
and that all of the yards should be
graded and placed In sightly condition.
Another question talked over was the
naming of some of the public school
buildings. The members of the Board
intend to take a list of the buildings that
are not named, and name them in the
near future.. Clerk Thomas was In
structed to prepare the list.

days for you. They freshen you and
make vou feel like life is worth living.
