FUEL TO COST MORE
Wholesalers Advance Price of

FREIGHT RATES ARE HIGHER

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.

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.
