Portland's Freight Facilities
Material in Medford
Rate Case.
EVIDENCE NOT COMPLETED
Local Chamber of Commerce Takes
4
Hand In Hcarlnjr Before Stale
Railroad Commission Rail-
. - roads Aid Portlnnd In FJsbt.
Testimony tending to . show that Port
land, on account of Its position on tide
water, has a natural advantage over tha
Inland towns In the matter of freight
facilities) was presented before the Stat
Railroad Commission fn tha Medford rata
hearing; In the office of R. B. Miller, traf
fic manager of the Southern Pacific in
the Yells-Farffo building; yesterday afternoon.
The evidence of the plaintiffs In the
case was heard at Medford on Novem
ber V. the commission then adjourning
Ha aeeejiona until yesterday. The case Is
not yet complete, however, and the final
decision will not be handed down until
the Commission has time to review the
evidence.
The . original' complaint - Included two
separate petitions from the Medford traf
fic bureau. The first of theas asked for
the eMabllshment of a rate on carload
commodities, such as groceries, hard
ware and some farm machinery ' fro nf
Portland to Medford. Tha second sought
to have established a reduced distribut
ing; rate on the first four -classes or
freight, from Medford to points within
a radius of 150 miles from that city.
The ultimate object of the petition was
to make Medford a Jobbing center for
tha territory within the described radius.
A similar petition ws presented to the
State Commaasicn some time ago by the
Jobbing interests of Baker.
Chamber of Commerce Intervenes.
Tha transportation bureau of the Port
land Cliam'Msr of Commerce intervened
In both cases, contending that if these
privileges, are granted to Medford and
to Baker ISO-mile xones thus will be es
tablished in all parts of the slate and
that -endless confusion will result. '
They raised the point that granting the
privilege to these towns will establish a
precedent and that if Medford and Baker
are aucccanful many other small, cities
will seek similar concessions.
Railroad offlclala on the other nana.
while opposing the petition, do not seem
to be in enmpathy with the local Cham
ber's position In the matter.
At the original hearing testimony was
introduced evidently aimed tor establish
the position th Medford. . on account
of Its geographical location, is entitled
to Jobbing rates. Tet the railroad official-,
endeavored to show that Medford'
position is not different from that of
any other city of the same sixe between
Portlarfd and Medford.
Portland Situation Ontllned.
Mr. . Miller and H. E. Lounsbury, as
sbstant general freight agent of the
Southern Pacific lines In Oregon, were
examined by tbe Commission and by the
attorneys; They stated that conditions
are such as to make Portland the natural
Jobbing center of the state, by reason
of Its tidewater location and tha in
terior river service by both the Colambia
and Willamette river The situation
here Is altogether dissimilar from that
of Medford. they declared. Medford being
an inland town and having none of the
natural advantages poasesned by this city.
They" state that population and other
conditions also formed factors In es
tablishing elarsiticatlona' of cities with
reference to' rales.
None of the Medford business men who
are Interested in. the. case was present aC
yesterday's hearing. They were repre
sented by Attorney. McCune of this city.
W. D. Fenton handled the case for the
Southern PaclSc. The three members of
the Railroad Commission T. K. Carop
bel. Clyde- Altchison and Frank J. Miller
beard all of the proceedings. While the
attorneys did the questioning; members
of the Commission occasionally Inter
rupted the proceedings to inform, them
selves on particular points.
. The interests of the local Chamber of
Commerce were represented by Attorney
A. B. Wlnfree.
The Commission did not give promise
as to the time the case will be dis
posed of.
DOUGLAS MAIM WOULD WED

to get married seems to have become
a new branch of work for the Mayor of
Portland. When the Mayor received a

yesterday a letter from a man In
Douglas County, who thinks he will
fill the standard set by the St. Louis
woman. Following Is the letter from

CTMXAS1CM AND MiXTJAL TRAIXICHOP OF THE FRAZER DETEXTIOJI HOME.
AFTER many shattered plans "and
hopes, which were resurrected by
ingenuity and generous pocket
book, the Inmates of the Fraser Deten
tion Home, will soon have atBnaslum
and manual training shop. Th.e building
la almost completed and It Is hoped to
have It ready to open by Christmas.
The building Is a two-story brick.
by feet. The top floor will be used as
a sjymnasium Or play room, while on
the lower floor will be located the
work shops. ' -
As It Is often necessary for little un
fortunate to remain In the Home for
some time. . the need of a gymnasium
and work shop has been Ions; felt. In
terested persons took steps toward that
end. The Juvenile court started the
fund by donating; J1000. Bids wcra ad
vertised for. but when these were sub
mitted, it was "
erecting tbe bulldlns; exceeded the
ki-w 1, Ws- Kaa ... I m,T
amount wnirn ,w ' v--
could be. .raised fr such a purpose,
and for a while It looked as thouKh the
scheme would have to be Riven up.
Just as the last hope was disappear
ins; some benevolent praona took the
matter la hand with an . Indomitable
determination and started a campaign
to procure funds and material for the
buildinK- '
T. 1L Bryne. an Eastern contractor,
and relative of one of the workers, was
in Portland at the time, and he was
appealed to. He promised to take tne
matter In hand and rush the. work
through. ' .....
Votv fonda were added to the 1000
and Mr. Bryne. together with E. O.
Worth, a resident of the East Side, ave
their personal attention to the purchas
ing of tha bulletins; material and the
hiring- of wha-t help was needed In ad
dition to theJr own services. These two
men devoted their time without recelvr
ins; any recompense. - .
A canvass was made of -the paint
stores, the. dealers In this line responding-
generously with donations suffi
cient to fill' the requirements for paints
and such. -
The tools were donated by hardware
companies, and thus those who were
promoting; the matter found that the
manual hall and srymnasium would be
made a possibility by tbe generosity of
the Portland people. .
c The benches will be made by the
boys of the manual training depart
ment of the public schools.- who- will
also do the plumbing work and electri
cal wiring, as It Is thought the work
will give the boy some beneficial ex
perience. -
The cost of the building has . been
only 29. a portion of which, how
ever, has not been yet appropriated.
Another plan is now being nourished
bv those who have the welfare of tbe
little Inmates of the -Detention Home
at heart. A Christmas tree for these
homeless youngsters, held In the iiew
gymnasium would serve as a moat ap
propriate opening, they think, and
would be a fitting climax of their faith
ful endeavors and conscientious work.
The question as to whether or not
the lives tt these little waifs will be
brightened at Christmas time . with a
treewll! be answered no doubt in the
same way the gymnasium question was.
Some rlotbes also, aay those who have
the matter in charge, would not come
amlsa for these children.

who- contributed .tftwarda the , gym

Mrs.' Mfna 'C. 'SlcCommon Charges
Her ' Wards '$6 a Month Board
Each for Slx. Years Court
Holds Stewardship Good.
- - " .-. J . ' ' - '
As an aftermath . of the Exposition
building- fire last July, two children
sustained a loss of $675 yesterday, and,
aa well, were taken from the guardian
ship of Mrs. Mina C McCommon, who
has cared for them for the last seven
years. Her home and the drugstore of
her sons, at Nineteenth and Washing
ton streets, being consumed by the big
fire of last Summer, Mrs. McCommon
petitioned the County Court to be re
leased from her long responsibility as
guardian of the children, and. fn set
tling the administration of their affairs,
she charged them $12 a month for the
last six years. This ate up the chil
dren's heritage.
Mrs. McCommon was appointed guar
dian of Florence and Oscar Mllllgan
January IS. 1904. , and the County
Judge at that time allowed Jier to in
vest $75 belonging to her wards with
the proviso that Interest "on the sum
would be set aside to, help pay for their
keep. The guardian intended to re-
rBervo the fund left the children by
their father and hand It to them when
they became of age. Sustaining great
loss in the Exposition building fire,
which also destroyed all her books and
accounts, she was compelled to seek
the courts to wipe out her obligation
to the children by charging them for
board, lodging, clothing and schooling
for tbe long time they were under her
care. -
t ' Entire Fund Used Up.
At the rate of $12 a month for their
living and $162 for schoolbooks and
clothing, Mrs. McCommon hot only
spent all of the children's estate, but
$27 besides. The amount to her credit
was not sought in the court proceed
ings. ' .-.,
No objection "to the squaring of ac
oonnta thai tooV all her children's, own
'was .made by Mrs. SC. Kimmerman,
mother of the wards and a niece otairs.
McCommon. . Neither did the stepfather
of tbe children. Z. Zimmerman, com
plain when search of the records
showed Mrs .McCommon had not obli
gated herself to return the children's
Inheritance to. them intact after her
long supervision over them. Zimmer
man Is a member of the fire depart
ment, stationed at engine company No.
6. He, married Mrs. MUligan five years
ago. '
Stewardship Held Good.
After testimony by Mrs. McCommon
and Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman, County
Judge Cleeton decided Mrs. McCommon
had made a good account of her stew
ardship and that the children had more
than received the value of their money.
Cold figures were used in arriving at
this deduction. Judge Cleetori saying
$12 a month was slight oharge for the
living of two children when it is con
sidired tbe city and county allow, as a
rule, $8 for each child, and frequently
authorize the expenditure of $12 a
month --for the care of a youngster.
Judge Cleeton thereupon released Mrs;
McCommon from her guardianship and
ordered the return of her bond.
Standing out as an odd feature of the
case is the fact that Florence Mllllgan,
now 14 years old, may choose her own
mother as her guardain or seleet her
stepfather, or any other person willing
to be her foster-parent. Oscar Mllll
gan.. v12 yeans old. has no choice, and
when proper application is made his
mother or IBs stepfather will be ap
pointed guardian over him. ' -

DEPOSITOR LOSES HIS SOT
Bank Which Identifies by Faces
Hallier Than Signatures Wins.
The practice of the Bank of Trout
dale of identifying depositors by their
faces Instead of their signatures cost
Pern i tar Todero $280. A jury in Judge
Hamilton's department of the State Cir
cuit Court yesterday returned a verdict
In favor of the bank for that amefunt.
Todero had deposited $500 with the
Troutdale bank and. deciding to trans
fer his money to Kenton, applied for
his depdsit. The bank proffered him
!20 and two canceled c"hecks. one for
$250 and one for $30. The checks, said
Todero, were not signed by him, and he
refused to accept the balance. Suit for
the full amount followed.
The checks bore the signature of T.
Toderoff. Chirography experts for the
Bank of Troutdale declared the writing
was that of Todero and experts en
gaged by him were ju'st as Insistent
that the penmanship was, not similar
to that of the plaintiff. -
Bank officials testified ' that it was
their custom In business relations with
foreigners to Identify them by their
faces rather than by their signatures.
The Jury's verdict; upheld the practice
in Todero's case. ' 0 . . e
