tha market looked heavy. Prices soon ros
to about Saturday close, but later drifted
dowaward alowljr. Before tha olosa tha de
mand Increased and tha decline ware large
ly mad up.
Th hesitation at tha time of th con
vening of Congress wa due to recognition
of tha faot that at thla session legislstlon of
great concern to tha business interests la to
be considered.
Tha retirement of th old Standard Oil
management had only aa Indirect bearing oa
th scour It le, market. 6Iandard Oil atock
remained unchanged at C50 bid. The itock
never ha beaa listed, being traded In on th
curb, and Its high prlc ha restricted apc
ulatlon. Thar wa further heavy trading; In th
Oould securities, especially Wabash stock
nd bonds, which displayed further strength.
Wnbaeh preferred and tho 4 per cent bonds
at one time ahowed galna of two pointa or
more.
Bond wer Irregular. Business wa broad
and dealing In th local traction contin

POLE RIGHT IS FOUGHT
COUNTY MAKES DEMAND OX
ELECTRIC CO.MPAXY.
Firm's Refusal to Grant Public
lower Rates on Light Stirs
County Commissioners.
Brought Into a belllgrerent attitude
by tho refusal of tho Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company to give
them as low rates as they demanded
for the lighting of the Courthouse and
county farm buildings, the County
Commissioners have made up their
minds to make the company pay for
the use of county roods If there is any
way of doing lt. County Judge Cleeton
believes there la a way. The follow
ing letter was yesterday addressed to
B. 8. Josselyn, president of the com
pany: "In looking over our records we
have ascertained that you have no
franchises over our roads for your
electric light and power poles. Inas
much as we are paying your company
for the service you give the county,
we think It no more than fair that you
should pay a reasonable sum for the
use of our roads. We will be glad to
take this matter up with you at once."
What action will be taken If the
compnny refuses to confer on the ques
tion Judge Cleeton would not gay, but
there is an Intimation that the poles
might be declared nuisances and re
moved from the public highways. The
state law giving telephone and tele
graph companies the right to string
wires along county roads, subject to
the control of County Courts, makes
no mention of poles carrying trolley or
power wires. Hence, the County Com
missioners consider that they have the
company, figuratively speaking, "on
tho hip."
"When the question of supplying
lighting current for the Courthouse and
Multnomah Farm came up soma time
ago we asked for a much lower rate
than we received." said County Judge
Cleeton. "We considered the rate we
mentioned reasonable. As it Is, we are
paying more than the large depart
ment stores. Wo thought the county
should be given a better rate than pri
vate corporations. In view of the fact
that oounty roads are being used by
the company, but our pleadings fell
on deaf ears."
"Now we propose to use the same
half-bushel measure in dealing with
tha company. The company dealt with
us on what Its officers called a strictly
business basis and we now propose to
deal with them on the same basis. Why
should the county allow this company
the use of Its county roads for nothing
when the company Insists on charging
the county a stiff rate for electrical
current?"

ROBBER PLEADS GUILTY
LOCKIIAUD XOW TO TESTIFY
AGAINST RICH "PAI."
MAN IS WHIRLED TO DEATH
Arnip, leg and Head Severed la
Pulp Mill at Camas.. "-
CAMA3, Wash., Dec. 4. (Special.)
George CJ. Fellow, an acid maker for
tho Crown-Columbia Pulp & Paper
Company, was causrht In a 13-lnch pul
ler whlje trylnar to replace a belt and
Instantly killed here, this evening-. Both
of his arms, his head and one leg were
iwered from his body.
Mr. Fellow was a native of Switzer
land and leaves a widow and two chil
dren and one brother In Camas. Ho was
a member of the Foresters of America
and the Woodmen of the World, and
carried insurance In both of thee orders.
Thief Tells Judge Gatens lie and J.
P. nawkes Looted Dozens of
Place9 Sentence Walt.
Leon Lockhard, who was arrested
with J. F. Hawkes, after he had made
a confession to Constable Hall, of
Lents, Implicating; Hawkes and himself
In more than a dozen robberies, changed
his plea of not grullty to guilty yester
day In Judge Gatens' Court. Sentence
was deferred until after the trial of
Hawkes, against whom the stata will
use Lockhard as a witness.
In makinir his plea yesterday Lock
hard reiterated to Judge Gatens the
charge that Hawkes had tried to mur
der him by putting strychnine In his
food. Both Hawkes and Lockhard
have served penitentiary sentences.
The state foresees difficulty In convict
ins; Hawkes. Hawkes is rich, his
wealth being estimated at from $60,000
to $100,000. He has employed counsel
and proposes to make a hard fight.
Lockhard told Judge Gatens that
Hawkes had rented a ranch near Lents
as a rendezvous and as a place to take
cattle, horses, chickens and other plun
der which be says they stole. He de
clared that he was "down and out"
when Hawkes made the proposal that
they go into the robbing business on a
wholesale scale, and that Hawkes had
not paid him as he promised. The
poisoning episode brought about his
determination to make a confesssion to
the authorities, he said.
Much of the plunder has been recov
ered from caches, the locations of which
were divulged by Lockhard.
