depending upon the completion of this
road to give the business of the com

Although work soon wilt be started

Cast It cannot be completed within
six months after the Ilarriman line

vi hen this lines service Is added to
th.it of the other the Tillamook region

proving the channel has been made
strong feature In the requests fr Fed

While neither railroad Is taking an

Fire of Unknown Origin.
SIARfHKIKI.D. Or., Jan. 10. (Spe

the fire last night.' The origin Is un
known. Fortunately there was consider
able distance between the hotel and
the adjoining building, but the flames
crossed the street on several occasions
and It was only by the heroic efforts
of the fire-fighters that the White
House store and the livery stable on
the 'opposite side of the- street were
saved. They were on fire several times.
but the firemen on each occasion were
successful In subduing the blaze be
fore It reached the Interior of the build

It was a close call for the-maln part
of the city of North Bend. The build

time ago. The hotel belonged to Kobert

for $:iOn. The annex also belonged
to a resident of this city. D. M. Noble,
and was Insured. The loss is estimated
at 120,000.

was yesterday acquitted as the result
of an Instructed verdict.
Following six hours of Intense argu
ments over points of law. Circuit Judge
Morrow held that Rosenberg's lawyers
were correct In their legal contentions.
Dispensing with further procedure in
the matter. Judge Morrow called In the
Jury and Instructed the 12 men who
were trying Rosenberg to find him not
guilty.
This formality over, Rosenberg was
released from custody. Several rela
tives and friends were present to con
gratulate him. For since the state has
no right of appeal In such matters. It
will be impossible to proceed further
against Rosenberg.
Close Questions Considered.
Several fine points oflaw were con
sidered by the Court In making the rul
ing. But the decision centered largely
about the issue of corroborative evi
dence. Mrs. Nettle Hall, mother of
Rosenberg's victim, told a story on the
witness stand of finding her daughter's
body In Rosenberg's private office.
Judge Morrow found that the mother's
pitiable tale lacked the legally required
potion of corroboration.
"The rule Is," said the Court, "that an
inference cannot be based upon an In
ference. As the testimony has been
presented, we have to infer first that
the defendant knew the girl was en
ceinte, and secondly that he Intended an
abortion. There la no testimony that
the doctor ever knew her condition.
That can be deduced only by infer
ence. "The testimony does not reasonably
tend to show," Judge Morrow added,
"that any lawful act was committed
without due caution or circumspection,
or tend to prove the commission of any
unlawful act whatever."
The motion for a directed verdict
was presented Thursday afternoon by
Rosenberg's lawyers on the grounds
that the State had failed eomplly by
testimony to show the commission of
a crime and particularly the crime of
murder as charged In the grand Jury's
Indictment. Involved arguments fol
lowed In which voluminous authorities
were presented.
Prosecution Is Vigorous.
In replying. Deputy District Attor
neys Fitzgerald and Collier, who made
n able and spirited fight for convic
tion, took their stand under Section
1750. of tha Oregon Code, which says:
jsvery other killing or a human being
by the act, procurement of culpable
negligence of another, when such kill
ing Is not murder In the first or second
degree or Is not Justifiable or excus
able as provided In this chapter, shall
be deemed manslaughter."
The States attorneys contended that
the evidence had clearly shown these
facts. That a- girl 20 years of age had
been taken to Dr. Rosenberg's office:
that Dr. Rosenberg put her under chlor
oform and killed her; that while no one
was present, the circumstances and
facts clearly established Rosenberg's
culpability; that even If there were no
proof of negligence or unlawful pur
pose, the facta Indicated the chloroform
was given for no grod purpose.
The plea of the State's attorneys was
that the Jury be permitted to pass on
the case. The 12 men of the Jury were
visibly affected by Mrs. Hall's comnell-
lng story of finding her girl's dead
body in Dr. Rosenberg's office.
Prosecuting Witness Kails.
Had not one of the state's witnesses
gone back on his first story, the ruling
made by Judge Morrow would not have
been neceseary or possible. Elmer Erlck
son. the youth responsible for Vera Hall's
condition and wfo took her to Rosen
berg office, first told' that he took her
there for an operation.. On the witness
stand be Insisted that she :d been suf
fering merely from a minor hemorrhage
of the nose. Had he kept to the truth,
the' prosecuting officers say, Rosenberg's
knowledge of the girl's condition would
have been shown. That would have
wept away one of the maze of techni
calities.
This same end could have been effected
except for another set rule of procedure
providing: that conversations bearing on
the case and not held In the presence of
the accused person cannot be repeated as
testimony. But for that rule the mother
could have shown young Erickson's
knowledge of the girl's condition, a
knowledge which he. dnnled completely
qn the witness Mand. Just what Inspired
the girl's betrayer to change his story
and protect Rosenberg Is a matter of
speculation.
While declining to state for publication
his Innermost beliefs as to Rosenberg's
guilt or innoconre. Judge Morrow said
the ruls of l.iw that made necessary the
directed verdict In this case might pr,h
sibly fall short of common Justice in tills
particular instance, but that in thousands
of other cases the same rules would be
absolutely required.
Defense Otherwise Cnrevcaled.
No testimony was presented in Rosen
berg's behalf nor was a plan of defense,
except in technicalities, indicated at any
time during the trial. Rosenberg's law
yers represented in argniment that the
girl might have been suffering from ail
ments which the practitioner found Im
possible to diagnose without use of an
anesthetic.
Alleging that the pres had sought to
prejudice the public mind against Rosen
berg and had printed biased and unfair
accounts hearing on his arrest. Indict
ment and trial, the acquitted man's law
yers asked the court to cite representa
tives of the tarlous -newspapers' in Port
land to show cause why they should not
be found In contempt of court. R. E.
Moody, one of the attorneys, thought It
high time to muzzle the press and sug
gested that unless the courts acted along
these linos It would be necessary for
some of the lawyers to get together and
attempt a tooth-pulling feat on the de
mon of irtibllclty. Numerous copies of
newspapers were handed to Judge Mor
row, who said he would read the accounts
of the Rosenberg trial and decide later
about the advisability of citing newspa
per writers and editor? for contempt.
TONNAGE TAX ADVISED
MOW PLAN I'KGED TO I1IUXG
VESSELS TO PORTLAND.
Revenue Would Be Increased and
City Advertised Afar, Say Ad-
. vocatcs of Measure.
To make the Port of Portland th
most satisfactory In the world and par
tlcularly the most satisfactory upon th
Pacific Coast, the promotion committee
of the Commercial Club has under con
sideratlon the preparation of a law
which will change the entire method of
assessment of vessels registered in thl
Jiarbor. It is proposed to place all
boats upon a tonnage basis and no
upon the value of the property.
Under the present law the Assessor
can assess the vessels In the harbor
upon the same basis that he wonld as
sess a house or lot. It Is contended by
the committee and by F. R. Hill, for
merly of Duluth, but now a residen
of Portland, that as an advertising plan
and as a producer of revenue it would
far exceed any other plan which could
be devised. Boat owners In every har
bor on the Coast would seek to regis
ter their boats In this port. Mr. Hill
said that Duluth tried the plan of as
sessing each boat 3 cents for each ton
of capacity and that when the law was
passed, seven years ago, only 30 boats
on the Great Lakes were registered
from Duluth. In that seven years the
number Of boats had grown from 30
to 450.
Two things had been accomplished,
said Mr. Hill. One was that all over the
lakes the boats carried upon their bow
end the words "From Duluth. Minn."
The other was that the tax revenues
had been trebled from that source alone
He expressed the belief that If Portland
would adopt the plan It would have
five times the receipts from taxation
and the name of Portland would be seen
In all ports of the Coast.

PRICES in the liali market tend to be
higher this week, chiefly on account
of the recent storms and high water.
Halibut, for instance is nearly double n
price, fresh halibut selling at 30 cents a
pound, and frozen halibut at 15 cents.
Columbia River smelt remain very scarce
and soil at 30 to 35 cents a pound. Striped
bass costs 25 cents and shrimps 20 cents
pound. Salmon and California, shad
cost 15 cents; black cod, torn-cod nd
sliver smelt. 12H cents; rock-cod. fresh
herring and flounder, 10 cents a pound.
Mussels, hard clams and New York
clams are all to be had, but I saw no
razor clams. Mussels are higher than
usual at 10 cents a pound, and New York
clams cost 10 cents a dozen. A few lob
sters are shown at 40 cents a pound, and
tine terrapin at Jl each.
Poultry prices, also, are inclined to be
higher than last week. Chickens are

geese are about the same price. Turkeys
ost 35 cents and ducks 30 cents a pound.
Snipe are dulnty morsels at 50 to 75 cents

Held Few Months.
. Some 73 persons who went down In Oie
Siletz country a year and a half ago
and took up timber claims are about to
receive in the neighborhood of JlO.OfiO
each for their holdings. A majority of
the entry men are Portland people and
the land Is held in one piece. It com
prises about 10,000 acres and is situated
in Township 7 south. Range 9 west. Wil
lamette meridian, and is in Lincoln
County. Estimates based on cruises
place the amount -of timber on the land
at 700,000,000 feet, and the sale is on a
basis of Jl a thousand feet, so the
amount of money involved in the deal
Is JTOO.OfK). The identity of the purchasers
Is not revealed.
The township was unsurveyed when the
entrymen jvent there to locate, so they
squatted, camping out In the woods until
the survey was mado and the land was
opened by the Government. They all
made their filings in the Portland Land
Office in March, 1310.
Pooling Agreement Made.
After they had obtained patent a meet
ing was held by the entrymen, which all
attended, and a pooling agreement was
formed. They pledged themselves t act
together and not to sell until a stipulated
price could be obtained. The price agreed
on has now been offered. It was fur
ther agreed that any number of the
pool who might find a purchaser should
receive $35,000 as commission. Five per
cent of J700.000 Is $35,000, and to earn this
fat fee there has been a pretty thorough
canvass of possible large purchasers of
timber by members of the pool.
J. Hyland and B. W. Jones were finally
successful, and under the style of the
Hyland-Jones Company they have had
printed a contract of sale which Is being
generally signed by the entrymen.
The contract provides for the placing
of $5000 in escrow In a Portland bank
by February 1 to apply on the purchase
price, and $3000 further to be expended in
cruising the timber.
Payment Due July 1.
It is further provided that if the con
ditions are satisfactory 30 per cent of
the entire purchase price is to be paid
by July 1, when the land will be taken
over. The cruises are to be on the basis
of those already made by Cuslck & Cox,
cruisers employed by the entrymen. ,
Most of the entrymen hold 160 acres,
while several have 120 acres and a few
only 80 acres. The timber is fir, spruce,
cedar and larch. The following are

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis. Jan. 20. (Special.)
The animal husbandry department of
Oregon Agricultural College yesterday
received the first shipment of fancy
livestock that is to be brought to Cor
vallis for the use of the students In
the short Winter courses. The ship
ment yesterday was from the Cralglea
farm of Frank Brown, of Carlton, Or.,
and consisted of five Southdown ewes,
ram and four shorthorn cattle.
The Southdown breed of sheep Is
considered, nearly Ideal In its mutton
form, and as Mr. Brown's sheep are
choice representatives of the breed
they will give the short course students
splendid idea of the type of mutton
sheep which the best breeders are try
ing to produce. Among the shorthorns
a white bull, apato, which cre
ated such a favorable impression at the
short course last year. The students
have so far been using the college
stock In their classes, but -will work
on outside stock very largely during
the remainder of their course. Several
shipments of horses and swine are to
arrive soon.

Ordinance Approved by Council
Committee, With "Just and Rea
sonable" Charge Clause.
By sending to the Executive Board
for valuations the ordinance granting
the Mount Hood Railway & Power
Company a franchise to sell electricity
within the city, the street committee
of the City Council yesterday afternoon
placed its approval on the ordinance.
After the Executive Board acts on the
franchise, it will go to the Council for
final adoption. No action was taken
on the proposed franchise for the same
company for a street railroad.
Several new clauses for the protection
of the city were placed in the ordinance
yesterday, upon recommendation ot city
Attorney Grant. The more important
of these Is the provision preventing the
Mount Hood Company from merging or
entering into any agreement with any
similar concern to limit competition.
City Attorney Grant also had included
In the franchise a provision, required
by the charter, that the Council should
have the right at any time to fix the
rates to be charged for electricity. At
torney Fulton, representing the com
pany, made objection to having mat
clause included in the franchise, argu
ing that even If It were In the charter
It should not be included in the fran
chise, but his objections were over
ruled. Then he wanted It changed so
as to add the words "Just and reason
able," to qualify the sentence requiring
the fixing of rates and this was allowed
by the committee over the objections
of the City Attorney.
It was recommended by Mr. Grant
that the ordinance be so arranged as to
require the company to furnish a cer
tain number of lights to the city free
and to limit the amount to be charged
for street lights, but the committee
failed to authorize this provision.
B. 8. Josselyn, president of the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Company,
asked the committee to pass -an ordi
nance exempting the Oregon City cars
from the use of the automatic fenders,
and, he was told to have a new ordi
nance with that provision prepared and
presented to the committee.
