RAIL BAN IS FOUGHT
All Want Use of Ogden and
Salt Lake Gateways.
GENERAL PROTEST FORMS
Commission to Be Asked to Prevent
Union Pacific and Oregon Short
Line Prom Holding Scenic
Routes Exclusively.
Public officials and commercial or
ganizations In Southern Idaho and
Northern Utah are preparing to protest
to the Interstate Commerce Commission
against the recent action of the Union
Pacific and Oregon Short Line in can
celing passenger rates in connection
with the Denver & Rio Grande through
the Ogden and Salt Lake gateways.
While the proposed cancellations do
not affect the business west of Hunt
ington, it is expected that the O.-W. R.
& K. territory soon will be similarly
treated.
By this method the Union Pacific sys
tem will be in position to say to its
passenger patrons:
"If you want to travel between points
on the Oregon Short Line on the west
and points east of Denver on the east,
you can no longer have a choice of
routes at Ogden and Salt Lake City.
You must travel all the way over our
lines or pay the penalty of a higher
rate for traveling over the Denver &
Rio Grande between Sale Lake City and
Denver."
.-. will no Millie.
This is virtually what the Union
Pacific already has said to its passen
ger patrons in the territory east of
Huntington. B. L. Winchell, traffic di
rector of the Union Pacific system, said
at Chicago last week that the order
will not be issued against the O.-W. R
& N. territory, and travelers here are
hoping that that condition will remain
in effect. The Denver & Rio Grande,
on account of its scenic attractions, al
ways has been popular with persons
traveling between Portland and other
points in the Northwest and the East.
With the privilege of traveling over
this line withdrawn it is believed that
the Northwest would lose much of the
tourist travel that annually passes this
way.
Meanwhile, other railroads connect
ing with the Union Pacific, notably the
Santa Fe, Burlington, Rock Island and
Missouri Pacific have served notice with
the Commission that they will refuse
to become a party to the new order
closing the gateways.
Rltcht of Originator Pleaded.
When the Union Pacific attempted, a
few years ago, to close the Denver
gateway on freight business, it insisted
that no such action was contemplated
on passenger traffic. However, the
records show that a large volume of
passenger traffic is diverted every year
over the Denver & Rio Grande between
Salt Lake City and Denver, and it is
understood now that the Union Pacific
seeks to retain this business for itself.
"If we originate the business," they
argue, "it is not reasonable to expect
us to turn it over for the long haul to
a competing road.
"If people still want to travel via the
Denver & Rio Grande they can buy
local tickets connecting at Ogden or
Salt Lake City."
Such combination of local rates will
be more expensive, however, than the
through rates now enjoyed.
Mr. Winchell will be in Portland
within a few days, and it is expected
that the subject will be taken up with
him while he is here.

GIRLS SAIL0N TANK SHIP
Law Against Passengers Suspended
for Refugees.
NEW YORK. Sept. 5. For the first
steamship has just come into this port
with passengers. There were 13 pretty
young girl students on the Lampo, a
Standard Oil ship, which arrived from
Genoa. .
This Is how it happened: The Misses
Doris E. Hall, Anna Poucher, Florence
Rhodes, May L. Corbin. Helen Hardin.
Mona, Margaret. Eva and Maude Hine.

Ethelyn Twohy, all students In the
Dana Hall School, a preparatory for
Wellesley College, went to Europe on
June 1" In charge of Misses Helen
Huebener and Marie L. Reuche. instruc
tors. In Bellagio, on Lake Como. Italy, the
party learned that their travelers'
cheques were worthless paper. They
managed, however, to get to Milan,
where one of the instructors found an
old acquaintance in Albert von Hartx,
the Standard Oil representative In Italy.
Mr. von Hartz decided that it would be
a great pleasure to help, so he appealed
to Thomas Nelson Page, the United
States Ambassador to Italy. The novelist-diplomat
caught one glimpse of the
young girls and thought that the State
Department machinery could be put
into motion and a law suspended for
them. His efforts were successful and
the ban against tank steamers carry
ing passengers was lifted especially
for the students. On August 19 they
left Genoa on the Lampo. the officers
having given up their quarters to them.
Several fudge parties were held on
the Lampo, First Officer Apprisi re
ported, and a number of the crew jvere
taken ill from overindulgence During
the voyage the students learned to nav
igate the ship, polished th brass and
even took a hand in stoking her by
proxy presumably.

stand for the agricultural and Indus

AMEBIC AN WOOIi SUPPLY NOT LARGE
Western Clips Transferred at Good Prices
in East.
Wool trading at Boston fell off last
week, transfers amounting to about 5,000,000
pounds. Prices remain firm. Included in
the sales were 1000 bags Montana at from
21 He to 23c, and a similar quantity of
Dakota at 22 23c, 100,000 pounds Nevada
from 20c to 20c, several hundred thou
sand pounds Colorado from 22c to 22Vc,
10,000 pounds New Mexican at 19c, about
8000 pounds fine Montana clothing at 21c,
100,000 pounds Colorado half-blood at 22c
500 0 pounds half-blood Soda Springs at 24c,
100,000 pounds Utah at 19 20c, containing
mostly fine clothing, and 200,000 pounds of
Idaho at 20 to 21c, or a clean cost of about
60 cents.
The problem of the wool supply Is r
ceiving considerable attention at the mo
ment from every branch of the trade, says
the Boston Commercial Bulletin. Well-
posted merchants assert with positlveness
that to the best of their belief there are
not over 35,000.000 to 40,000,000 pounds of
territory wool available for the mills in
the owrfershlp of the Boston trade. Thus
the total supply of domestic wool Is far
from heavy and given a fairly good demand
for goods the assertion that this wool will
all be needed seems far from illogical.
I HE FIRST t'UGGLE HOPS ARE SOLD
Command Same Price This Year as Laicr
A ariety.
Fuggle hops are selling this year at the
same price as the late variety. TM ab
sence of a premium on the early sort is
due to the fact that there Is as yet no-
export demand for them.
McNeff Bros, yesterday bought several
lots of fuggles and clusters, aggregating
49 bales, at 17 to 18 cents.
McKlnley Mitchell returned yesterday
after an inspection of yards In the Laurel,
Jefferson, Gervais and Aurora sections. He
believes the crop will come down one -third
short of last jear and estimates the total
yield of the state at 100.000 to 110.000
ales.
California wires reported that market
firm with Sacramento growers asking 19 to
20 cents. A letter from a conservative New
York dealer estimated the state crop at 2o
to 30 per cent short of last year.
Sales of beer in the United States for the
month of July, 1914, were 6,998,153 barrels,

BETTER JVBUIffG IN COTTON CIRCLES.
Rut a Bale" Clubs Are Forming all Over
South-
NEW YORK. Sent. 9. The more optimis
tic feeling noted in local cotton trade
circles yesterday was even more In evidence
today and seemed to be largely based on the
reports of a better tone in the Southern
spot markets. Handlers of spot cotton said
that Southern shippers were becoming less
panicky as to the probable effect of in
creasing supplies.
'Buy a bale" clubs are said to be forming
all over the South, while rapid progress
is also reported in the work, of building
warehouses, and many reports Indicate that
farmers are either holding cotton In the
seed or baulln it back from the gins.

ISSUE'S SUCCESS ASSURED
Exchange Is More Active, Indicating
Better Inquiry at London Reg

York Central, "Western Vnion.
NEW YORK. Sept. 9- Completion of the
details connected with ths new city loan
of $100,000,000 was the noteworthy fea
ture of the day m the financial district.
Just what proportion of the entire amount
will be taken by foreign interests is a mat.
ter of conjecture, but Indications point to
a strona- demand from that quarter.
Local banks and bankers committed to
the loan regard the notes as an excellent
Investment at this time, because of the
unusually larpe Interest yield, and appllca
tlons from that source promise to be suf
ficlently large to reduce Individual allot
ments to small amounts.
Advices from the various cities suggest
that the municipalities are likely to avail
themselves of the methods adopted by this
city to refund maturing debts. it is vir
tually a foregone conclusion that In every
Instance where this Is done, renewals or new
loans will be negotiated at higher Interest
ratea.
Exchange was more active today, moving
In a manner, that denoted a better inquiry
at London. Cables and demand were 1 to
Itt cents above yesterday, with an Increased
supply of bills. Hardening of the rate was
ascribed t demands from local banking
interests, which wilt have to send large
remittances abroad for dividends by the end
of the month. .
According; to trade authorities, the past
few weeks have witnessed a marked de
crease In steel orders. Export trade has
not develODed fast enouirh to offset lack
of domestic demand. Nevertheless, the
August statement of unfilled tonnage of the
United States Steel Corporation, to be issuen
tomorrow. Is expected to show an Increase
over the nrecedlng month.
Rpraitw nf n. holfdav. the Chicago rraln
market suspended operations today. Local
quotations were slightly easier, with oniy
a nominal market for corn. Other com
modities reflected more stability.
Declaration of regular dividends by New
York Central and Western Lnlon Teiegrapn
neutralized the effect of some recent de
ferred and reduced disbursements.
SPOT COFFEE IS QUOTED LOWER.
Increased Shipments From Brazil Axe Ex

was reported in the market ror spot, coi
fee "here today. Local Importers say that
it is beco- ng easier to negotiate exchange
on Lor" with the result that increasea
h in- are exuected from BrazM, whose
restricted outlet to Europe Is supposed to
be reflected in the relatively low cost ana
freight offers now being received. The
market, consequently, is still very much
unsettled and irregular.
Rio 7s were auoted at 7tt c and Santos
