FREIGHT RATES ARE HIGHER Electric and Steam Railroads Take Increased Toll Wages of Chop pers Go Vp, and Stumpage Prices Are Higher. Cordwood ia now pi a cord, and whole sale wood dealers have fixed a higher price, so that the retail men will stiffen helr figures within a very short time, local fuel dealers predict a rise in all klnos of fuel from now on. They say labor is 'higher than it was last year, that both the Southern Pacific and the O. W. P. lines have advanced their trans portation tariffs on wood, that stumpage prices are increasing- as wood is cut 'farther bark from the railway, and that labor trouble is threatened in the Rock Springs coal district. Slabwood Is being sold by the Banfield Veysey Fuel Company at from 2.50 to W.W a cord for the green, and from $4 to JS a cord for the dry. This is in four foot lengths. The green sawed is from K to i cord, and the dry sawed from M to 5 a cord. With other fuel com panies the prices are about the same for the green slabwood. although the Oregon & Washington . Lumber Company and some others are selling the dry for J3.50 a cord. The Banfleid nrm is said to have all the orders It can deliver for the next 60 days. Ixnr Hauls More Costly. The Portland Fuel Company is asking a cord for first-grade four-foot tlr, dry. S.60 a cord for. 16-inch, and IS. 75 a cord for 11 inch. For long hauls the price is advanced - 25 cents for every ten blocks., as is the case with other fuel companies. George EJstes, manager of tnis nrm, said yesterday: It is costing 40 cents a cord more this year to cut cordwood than It did last year, because the men who worked in the woods last year can now make mora in the sawmills. Last year we paid II a cord for cutting. As the average wood cutter can cut but a cord and a half a day. it Is easily seen that the sawmill Jobs are more profitable. But the saw- mills were not running full handed last year, because users of lumber were not buying freely, owing to the low tariff. Early last year freight rates were lower than now, a raise of from 10 to 17 per cent being made in April, 1909, by the railroads, and a raise of 6 per cent on cordwood July 1, 1909, on the O. W. P. Sixty per cent of the cordwood used in Portland comes In over the O. W. P. lines. Rise in Coal Expected. "The expense of delivery In Portland is higher than it was last year, and besides all this the supply of cordwood already cut is limited. Cordwood cut after the first of September Is no good this year, for it will not dry out. before the rains come. 'I expect also a rise in the price of coal, for in the Rock Springs district of Wyoming, a coal mining district 100 miles square, labor trouble is brewing. Should it materialize, no coal will come to Port land from that district, and we shall have to depend wholly upon Coos Bay and Washington." FIREBUG THOUGHT INSANE Edward Hager Arrested for Throw ing Blazing Rags From Window. By throwing burning rags, soaked with gasoline, from the window of a room in the Rhelnpfalz Hotel, Front and Madison streets, Edward Hager, a demented man. made determined efforts to start a conflagration, and was de terred only by the chance observation of his act by a resident of the neigh borhood. Happening to look from his wlndoV at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, Charles J. Brown, living at 24S First street, directly back of the hotel, saw a ball of fire come from one of the windows of the hotel and light near his house. It was followed by another, which lit on a shed roof and started a small blaze. Two others were thrown out. Brown notified the police, and Ser geant Kelnlein and Patrolmen Thatcher and Johnson hastened to the place. They found a trail of oil leading to the room occupied by Hager. and the man was inside, his hands still smelling of the fluid. He was arrested and sent to the County Court for examination as to his sanity. It is believed that Hager has a mania for fires. In his pocket was found a card, written and signed by himself, congratulating Chief Campbell upon the work of the fire department at the Exposition blaze. He told the officers that he was formerly Chief of Police at Boise, Idaho. Werk 24 Hours A Day. The busiest little things ever made are Dr. King's New Life Pills.

Commercial Club Committee Will Request ex-President Roosevelt to Stop Here on Way South. The Convention Bureau's recommenda tion that it be given an appropriation from the general funds of the publicity department of the Portland Commercial Club towards its estimated annual ex pense account of J7500, received favorable notice from the promotion committee of the club at its meeting yesterday after noon. It was moved that an allowance of one-third of the amount raised by the committee be donated by the promo tion committee to the furtherance of the work of the Convention Bureau. This insures the success of the Con vention Bureau in Its work of obtaining conventions for Portland. It is generally agreed a convention held in Portland is the best possible way by which the city can be advertised. The Convention Bureau committee will meet Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock to discuss the appropriation and the means to be adopted to raise the sum required to obtain the promotion com mittee's appropriation.- It was agreed that a letter should be sent ex-President Roosevelt to ask him to stop in Portland if he should go to Los Angeles to address the Mining Con gress there in September, and it was also the sense of the committee that every thing should be done in the effort to in duce Colonel Roosevelt to visit Los An geles. The Portland Commercial Club will of fer a valuable trophy cup to be known as the Portland Commercial Club cup to be competed for by Oregon growers at the Spokane Apple Show. The cup is to be awarded and contestants governed by the rules of the show. A similar trophy is to be offered at the Dry Farming Congress to be held in Spokane, October 3-6, for the .best Oregon exhibit. The invitation tendered by Salem that the next meeting of the Oregon De velopment League be held in that city was accepted. C. . C. Chapman, publicity manager of the club, has received an offer to speak at Springfield, August 19. at a celebra tion to .be jheld on the completion .of the Natron cut-off and the electric line from Eugene to Springfield.. Mr. Chap man will make Springfield one of his principal stopping-off points in his .Wil lamette Valley tour lasting from August 15 to August 27. At Springfield, Mr. Chapman will speak on - "Oregon and a Greater Springfield." Baker Called Ideal City. A. C. Ashley, formerly of the gen eral passenger department of the Har- riman lines, and now secretary of the Baker City Commercial Club, was a visitor in the railroad offices yesterday. "Baker City is doing splendidly," said Mr. Ashley. "We have had flying ma chines and everything else there. "Val ues are rising and people are coming in, and altogether I believe Baker to be the ideal city in Oregon for home or business." INSTITUTE IS OPENED Catholic . Educational Association Hears Strong Addresses. The Catholic Educational Association of Oregon opened its sixth annual insti tute at St. Mary's Academy yesterday morning with the singing of high mass by 100 sisters under the direction of Father Dominic. Rev. Arthur Delorimler was the celebrant, while the sermon was preached by Dr. John A. Ryan, of St. Paul, an authority on social subjects. The work of the teacher is one of social service, ' he said, especially since the training of the child is now left by the parent largely to the teacher. The annual address was rendered by Rev. Edwin V. CHara, whd urged more study, , in the schools, of Oregon history. The services of John McLoughlln to the American Immigrants of the West were spoken of, as well as the narrative of the coming of 'the missionaries. The work of Father Blanchet. afterward first archbishop of Oregon," was eulogized and the Whitman massacre spoken of. J. H. Ackerman followed with a lecture on "Discipline." Teachers, he said, ought not to treat infractions of the rules as personal affronts, but the pupils should be shown that it works injury to the school. To demand an apology . from a child before the child sees the wrong of his act is more harmful, ; he said, than a breach of discipline. He said further that after children have reached the age of adolescence corporal punishment is in jurious. In the afternoon Dr. Peter C. Torke lectured on "Psychology." He outlined the elementary principles of psychology, quoting St. Thomas' definition that the art of teaching is to cause another person to absorb knowledge by the operation of his natural powers. The musical numbers were rendered by Mrs. George Parrlsh and Mrs. Delphine Marx, accompanied by FrederioSrTV. Good rich. Miss L.-M. Severance, writing in structor in . the New Tork City schools, devoted some time to instruction in the muscular system of writing. Miss Flem ing, of Chicago, spoke upon musical train ing in schools.
