miulon through Chairman ?. B. Altcnl

the famous distance tariff hearings to

cer, of tlia O.-W. K. N.. and win
Itsten to thm next Tuesday.
An effort to secure further time re
sulted In fallura today and Mr. Altchl
n demanded argument on Tuesday.
The distance tariff cases are cont'd
ered the most vital ever passed on
r-r the Railroad Commli-fon of thi
state. The decision of the commission
la these rases wlil be far reaching and
of the utraoet Import.
Atrtfade of Bwa Tald.
Mr. Aitchtaon today gave out the
following" statement as to the altitude
of the commission at the present time:
"The ruioui casea Involving the dls
tance tariffs on the Oregon-Washington
Railroad Navigation Company,
Southern I'arlfto Company and the Cor
iil.li A Eastern Kallruad Company
within Oregon, and the passenger fares
on the Corvajlis Kaatern. were final
I v submitted to the commission on the
JSth of December. The rates out of
Fort land. Baker and aledford are also
Involved In tita same proceed loirs.
"It is expected that all will be dis
posed of at one lime. Tlie Oregon
rommlsslon lias pretty well agreed upon
ilia principles whirlt will fcovern It in
the decuion of these various cases, and
has worked eut some of the details of
t ie adjustment, but others remain to
be adjusted. The carriers have asked
to be heard further upon the question
of branch-line rates, and will be heard
If thsy come In promptly, but the com
mission will not delay Its decision for
t.ieir convenience, an there has been
ample opportunity riven for a hearins
of all concerned.
"The adjustment of a distance tarlrf
on any line la a matter of Importance,
and et It la a delicate function. We
have consulted with the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Wash
ington commission, under the author
ity of the Oreeon act. which specif Ical
Iv gives u the right to consult with
th interstate commission and the rail
road commissions of other states on
any matters relating to railroads.
(aarrtesers Have Parpsse.
"Those conferences, however, have
br-n for the purpose of dlsrussing prin
ciples and seeing that we each have
a full rrasp f the facta, and no at
tempt has been mad t reach any
agreement aa to rates to be fixed In
r,n-ert. Such uction. no doubt, would
be in violation of the Federal Consti
tution. -We are free to say that while we are
In arcord with the usMnKton com
m:ioii In many matters, we cannot
atcree with It In its policy of announc
ing certain cities which are to be taken
as diAiritiutiiiK center!: neither as a
matter of poilcy pur of power under
nur act do we think we have such au
thority, f'v reason of the elimination
from consideration of any attempt to
eo,ua!lro artlf l-lally trace conditions,
the problem, as we view It. Is the es
tiMis.iment of a distance tariff to be
observed aa a maximum, and which Is
t: ttrrtt trie carrier can rharire as a
reasonable rat-. Such will be the gen
eral outline of the order of the ire--n
vomnil-ston. though, as stated. Its
t'-tatis hae not et all been worked

"T?:e carrlera and many shippers

That the appointment of Jodsre Hook,
of IvartsaX aa a member of the 6u
prenie Court of the t'nlted Ptatea
woulibe extretneiy"unfortunate Is the
expression of tha Railroad Commission
of Oregon In a telegram aent today to
United Htates Senator Bourne.
"We have two cases In tha Supreme
Court Involving; questions passed on
by Judpe Hook adversely In 177 Fed
eral. 4!3. says the telegram aent by
the Railroad Commission. "Same ques
tions presented In appeals from seven
other atates and think states Involved
are entitled to appointment of JudKe
who has not passed his opinion on
these extremely Important questions.
Judge Hook's appointment, therefore,
would be very unfortunate. Please
show this to Senator Chamberlain."
Tha question aa to " Judge Hook
arose primarily here from a telegram
received from President C. F. tuples,
head of the National Association of
Ilailroad Commissioners. This tele
gram was supplementary to the state
ment In The Oregonlan today that tha
Nevada Commission la objecting to the
appointment of Judge Hook. In his
telegram President staples saya:
Find below copy of meaare sent by Min
nesota Commission to President Taft with
copy of game to each of our Senators. You
are nrred to see that tha niot effective

adverse te tha contention of tha state and
bis vivas aa expressed In that case are fatal
to tha state's vaaa. There are eight states
that have cases before the failed Ktatea
S'lpreme Court Involving these questions.
We Relieve that the stata Is entitled to the
sppolntrnent of a Judge who has not already

questions and therefore protect against the
appointment of Judge Hook. This Is not In

Is a dangerous man to be placed on

FORGERY IS FIRST ACTION
Kxamlncr Bennett Identified Note

Mayor FLher on Stand.
CORVALLIS. Or Jan. S. tSpeciaD
Quietly and "flttlnglv attired. Mrs.
James Evars sat by herhusband'g aide
during the progress of bis trial on tha
charge of forgery here today, the In
dictment I.elng the first pressed against
the cashier of the defunct First Stake
Bank of Philomath, whose failure It la
charged was due to unlawful manipu
lations of that officer.
Among the bills receivable of the
bank and counted as an asset at the
time of Its failure was a note for 1400
purporting to be signed by Octay Voget,
payable to the Philomath Creamery, of
which Kvars was president, and as
stoned by the creamery to the hank.
Voget denied making the note.
Host of this first day of the trial
waa consumed In the selection of a
Jury, many of those on the venire
acknowledging strong prejudice.
Voget. the tlrxt witness, testified to
having executed a note to the creamery
for $400. which note had been assigned
to the bank and had been twice re
newed. He finally arranged with Evars
to pay off a note by assigning his 3000
shares of creamery stock to the bank,
and this was done In the presence of
ex-Mayor Fisher, of Philomath. He
had never given another note to the
creamery and had not signed the note
now held by the bank.
Bank Examiner Bennett Identified
the note and testified that It was held
by tha bank as an asset. Ex-Mayor
Fisher corroborated Voget'a evidence,
and on cross-examination testitled that
when he discovered the creamery"s bad
financial condition, while acting tem
porarily aa bookkeeper, and that there
waa a heavy Indebtedness to the bunk,
he Informed Evars, who urged Fisher
to keep tha Information from the other
bank directors.
At the conclusion of Fisher's testi
mony court adjourned until tomorrow
morning.
LOGGING CAMPS WAITING
Depth of Snow Such ns to Delay
W ork on Columbia for Time.
ASTORIA. Or, Jan. S. (Special.
None of the logging camps on the north
side of tha Lower Columbia River have
resumed operations since the close
down for the Christmas holidays, and
the indications are that It will be sev
eral weeks before any of them will be
able to start. There Is frora eight to
ten Inches of snow In that section and
that would prevent much being done
In tha logging line.
The first camp to start up is expect
ed to be the Portland Lumber Com
pany, which probably will put Its crew
at work as soon as the snow disap
pears. The Olson Company will be
compelled to make extensive repairs to
the tunnel on lt railroad before re
suming the hauling of logs. 'The Brlx
Logging Company does not intend to
start tip for several weeks, aa it has
6.(100.000 feet of logs In its booms
which have not been sold. The Camp
bell Logging Company, which recent
ly completed logging in the Deep River
district, has acquired a tract of about
lt.OOn.OOO feet on Grays River, which
it will log during the coming Summer.
To reach this tract will require the
construction of a railroad about three
miles in length.
NEHALEM BRIDGE WANTED
Cot of Proposed Crocs way & Mlle
Below Jewell Placed at $3 000.
ASTORIA. Or.. Jan. 3. (Special.) A
delegation of citizens from the Ne

presented a largely-signed petition, re
questing the court to construct a
bridge across the Nehalem River
about five miles below Jewell. .
The proposed bridge wlil be about
ISO feet In length, and iU estimated
cost will be about $3000. The peti
tioners explained that there are a
nnmber of people living on the south
sUie of the river and at present there
Is no way to cross the stream excepting
with boats. The court took the peti
tion under advisement and will pass on
the matter later In the term.

HARBOR WORK IS NEEDED
Petitions Are Circulated at .Midweek
Luncheon of Commercial Club
Asking for Special Election
on Proposition.
VA.NCOl'VEIl, Wash.. Jan. J. (Spe
cial.) Petitions asking" that a special
election be called to vote on the estab
lishment of a Port of Vancouver were
circulated today at the mid tree k lunch
eon of the Commercial Club and 100
signers secured. It will require the
siKiiaturaa of 1 per rent of the voters
In this district before an election can
be called, but there seems to be no op
position. In the district to b formed Is con
tained $7,000,000 in property, or about
seven-twelfths of the assessed valua
tion of Clark County. A mill levy on
this amount would briny $7000.
Coat Not Great.
On dredgring and- improving the
Columbia River at this point $155,000
has been expended and there yet re
mains from the appropriation about
$12,000 for further work. It is esti
mated by the committee appointed by
the Commercial Club that the desired
Improvements can be made for $25,000
or $30,000.
' It is proposed to build jetties similar
to those built on the Lower Mississippi
Kiver, which have been found to be
very successful. These will have a
tendency to narrow the channel at the
desired point and the river will be
naturally deepened.
There is a shallow place in the river
for about SS00 feet, according to the
Government survey for 1910. When
this is removed there will be a channel
varying from not lesa than 21 feet deep
to 60 feet, and ships can come to the
docks in Vancouver with freight.
It may take three years for the re
quired amount of money to be raised
by this levy and In tbe meantime the
Government will be asked to put up
from one-half to two-thirds of what
will be required. It is believed that
if it is shown to the Government that
Vancouver is willing to assist in pay
ing for this improvement to the river
that no great trouble will be found In
securing the necessary appropriation.
Approprlatioa Is Desired.
J. A. Munday, who was a delegate
of the Commercial Club to the Na
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress,
held in Washington, D. C. in Decem
ber, was present and addressed the
members on what he had done. He said
that the delegations from this state
and from Oregon seemed willing to
co-operate In every way to secure
needed appropriations for improve
ments of the Columbia River.
A new survey of the proposed dredg
ing and where the Jetties are to be
built will be asked and it is probable
that Representative Warburton will be
asked to have an appropriation to
cover this work tacked to the rivers
and harbors bill.
