TARIFF DROPS 20 CENTS All Transcontinental Iilnes Join in lowering Charge for Transport ing Canned Fish East Change Will Be In Vogue Soon. As the result of water competition first felt decisively by the railroads last year all transcontinental lines have announced a material reduction In the rates on canned salmon shipments to points as far Bart as Chicago. This reduction amounts to 20 cents on 100 pounds making the new rate 65 cents. The old -rate of SS cents was based on minimum shipments of 40.000 pounds to Colorado and points as far East as the Atlantic Seaboard. This rate will still apply east of Chicago, the railroads having found it impracticable to make a rate east of that point that will meet the water competition. The 65-cent rate Is on a minimum weight of 60.000 pounds snd applies to points as far east as Chicago, St. Louis and common points. Steamers Invade Trade. I ? Iast year the tramp steamers and even cut into the salmon traffic theretofore carried by the railroads to an extent that made traffic officials take notice. It is said that some of the big packers of the Columbia shipped as much as two thtrds of their output around the Horn. The same competition was felt in the Puget Sound territory and even to a greater extent In Alaska shipments. The Alaska salmon Is brought down the Coast by steamer in large quantities and prior to last year it was often necessary for the shippers to store the bulk of the pack in Seattle pending rail shipment. Ships Obviate Storage. Last year agents of the steamships ac cumulated canned salmon in large Quantities and made up shiploads which, on arrival at the Atlantic seaboard, were placed in storage and transhipped by rail to the interior as the market de manded. EKiring the long trip around the Horn the cost of storage was avoided by the owners of the salmon, making water shipment a further inducement. The rate from New York to Chicago is 30 cents on 100 pounds and. it Is said that by water and rail transhipment sal mon was laid down in Chicago at figures averaging about 60 cents for 100 pounds. These water shipments even cams back West so far as Missouri River points and the railroads therefore saw that to hold the traffic a material reduction would be necessary. Quicker Delivery to Count. In respect to Chicago and St. Louis the new rates will probably barely meet the water rate if they even do that, but it is expected that the competition will be met In part by the quicker delivery offered by rail. There was a big scurry ing yesterday of freight solicitors in Portland and Astoria in the effort to tie up shipments under the reduced rate. All North Pacific Coast points will secure the same rate of 65 cents, including Port land. Astoria, Seattle. Anacortess Belllns ham and other salmon shipping centers. The exact date that the rates will be come effective is not yet known the tariff sheets must be prepared and published for the required length of time. They will be in force, however, by the time the Spring pack begins to move. "Opportunities' for 1910 Issued.

Little Lucille La Barge, 18, Gets Hearing Today for Many Thefts Committed Recently. Showing the kleptomaniacal traits which have developed ,in no leas than three of her immediate relatives, Lucille La Barge, 18 years of age, was yesterday placed under arrest on a charge of lar ceny of two pocketbooks from the cloak room in the Christenson dancehall. Al though still in her teens, her criminal record entitles her to the reputation of being the most skillful and dangerous woman thief in Oregon. Thieving, as a family weakness, may be the cause of the girl's downfall, as two brothers and one sister of Lucille ere at present under detention by the authori ties. Bert La Barge is serving a 15-year sentence in the penitentiary for highway robberies. With his partner in these crimes, Fred Cobb, he was recently sen tenced from the Circuit Court. Hattie La Barge, a sister, is in the House of the Good Shepherd, having been discov ered in the theft of numerous valuables from the home of Mrs. Hahn, wife of a well-known restaurant-keeper. Hattie was 14 years of age at this time and had a record of half a dozen burglaries to her credit. Joe La Barge, another brother, b also, in the penitentiary, having been convicted of robbery. Lucille La Barge was recognized at po lice headquarters yesterday by Detective Hawley as being wanted for the robbery of the Oriental Curio Store, conducted by J. Sasso at 469 Washington street; of the millinery store of Marie Zeitfuchs, at 346 Alder street, and for the theft of $10 from M. Humbert. She is well versed in the ways of thieves and has shown unusual clever ness in the manner of going about her ill-chosen profession. In the millinery store which she robbed she used the pre text of calling over the telephone to get behind the counter and steal from the safe. She secured $10 in sight of a cus tomer, who had laid the money on the counter to pay for some articles, and a moment later, when the attention of those in the store was diverted, got $5 from the safe, which, was open. Lucille La Barge has confessed the crimes with which she has been faced and will be brought before Judge Ben nett in Municipal Court this morning for her hearing. endurance, she says. May Z. Osborn has brought a divorce suit in the Circuit Court against R. Howard Osborn. 'She was married to him at Great Falls, Minn., January 27, 1903. They have two children. She asks the court to give her $25 suit money, $100 attorney's fees and $30 a month alimony. Wife Alleges Beatings in Suit.

An informal luncheon yesterday by of ficers and members of the Commercial Club honored T. Edward Wilder, of Chi cago, a prominent manufacturer and member of the Chicago Association of Commerce. The luncheon hosts at the Commercial Club were: President Beck with, Edgar B. Piper, W. J. Hofmann, Colonel James Jackson, P. S. Malcolm, George Lawrence, Jr., Tom Richardson, Otto Olsen, Colonel W. K. Tucker and Dr. John F. Beaumont. Colonel Tucker is a brother-in-law of the distinguished Chicagoan and during Mr. Wilder's two days' visit here his wife and . he were guests at Colonel Tucker's home. There were no speeches at the lunch eon, although animated conversation of affairs and business was engaged in gen erally. Mr. and Mrs. Wilder left at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon for Seattle. Thence they will return to Chicago. In his stay here Mr. Wilder expressed surprise at the growth of Portland dur ing the past few years, declaring he could see great improvement since Sep tember, when he was here for a short visit. "The only thing I regret about my trips to Portland," lie said, "is that it happens to toe cloudy when we are here and in consequence we have been de prived of a view of the surrounding mountains. Portland is very much like Chicago. You are in the same progres sive season we were after our World's Fair. The two cities are much alike in other respects, probably accounted for by the tact that so many Chicagoans have located here. "I expect to see the time when we will be making gross shipments to Port land by way of the lakes-to-the-Gulf system of waterways and around through the Isthmian Canal. "Water transportation, to my mind, is one of the ways of solving the high cost of living. It is of greater importance to the cost to the consumer than the tariff. The Government derives $800, 000,000 annually from the tariff, while we pay the railroads in freight tariffs $2,400,000,000 annually."

National and State Pure Food Laws have been passed, regulating their manufacture, to insure the customer getting pure, healthful food. Any product which contains hog fat is subject to the taint or possibility of -disease germs. Lard is made from hog-fat it may be pure, and it may not. At any rate, it is at best indigestible, and will raise havoc with any but the hardiest stomach. Cottolene is a vegetable product, which is far superior to lard for all shortening and frying purposes. After the cotton seed oil has been refined through purifying processes of our own, it is made neutral and odorless, and an absolutely pure and healthful fat is the result. I Cottolene is a product of nature and is bound to be wholesome. It is the one dependable, healthful product for frying and shortening, and is carefully inspected and made to conform with all pure food laws.
