BOOTH REITERATES
WEST CHALLENGE
Governor Is Asked to Produce
Proof of Charges Made
s as Duty to Public.
EVASIVE REPLY IS DISLIKED
Senatorial Candidate Wants Debate
October 2$ Before Largest Au
dience Possible so Til at
Truth May Be Known.
Repeating: his challenge for a public
debate on the subject of his public and
private record, R. A. Booth, Repub
lican nominee for the office of United
States Senator, yesterday addressed a
letter to Governor West at Salem, 're
questing that he meet him at the
Armory, in Portland, October 23.
Although Governor West is known
to have received a telegram from Mr.
Booth containing his first challenge,
a few minutes after noon Saturday, no
' direct reply had been received by Mr.
Booth from Governor West last night.
The Portland newspapers yesterday
reported an evasive reply which orig
inated with Governor West and Mr.
Booth's second challenge was issued
yesterday in response to this quota
tion. In his first challenge Mr. Booth in
vited Governor West to appear with
him on the public platform at the
Portland Armory on the night of Oc
tober 23, when he would be glad to
answer the charges Governor West
has boasted that he will make against
Mr. Booth before the close of the cam
paign. Governor West's reply, reported
from Medford. avoids a direct response
to Mr. Booth's challenge but suggests
indirectly that Mr. Booth attend jjne
of the Democratic meetings Governor
West has arranged for Portland on
dates which he does not announce.
Governor Urged to Accept.
Explaining that October 23 is his only
cpeti date between now and election
day, Mr. Booth requests of Governor
West in his second challenge that he
accept that date 'for the debate. He
points out that he 13 a candidate with
a definite schedule that cannot be
altered without considerable inconven
ience, but that the Governor is not
appearing in this campaign as a can
didate. "It stands as your word against
mine." says Mr. Booth, Insisting that
the people are entitled to a public de
bate on the fact or falsity of the ugly
charges Governorr West has chosen to
make against Mr. Booth in the present
campaign.
.Mr. Booth's second challenge, mailed
to Governor West last night, read as
follows:
Oswald West, Governor of Oregon,
Salem, Or. Dear Governor: In the
Journal this morning I read what pur
ports to be a reply to my recent wire
to you, requesting you to offer proof
of charges you have made against me
and to make any other charges that
you may deem proper at the Portland
Armory on the 23d inst. I have re
ceived no other communication from j
you. My request was in good faith, j
You suggest that I answer charges
that you recently made in Portland.
I reply that you made no specific
charge, so far as I am informed, which
had not been covered by my Albany
speech. My statements made prior to
yours were in direct variance with
those made later by you. It stands,
therefore, as your word against mine.
That is why I request you to furnish
tile proof and make any further
charges that you desire that I may
have proper and fair opportunity to
reply. The date that I named is my
only op.en one between this and the
election. I am a candidate with a
fixed schedule that I cannot alter
without " disregarding agreements be
tween state and county committees.
You are not & candidate, but are cam
paigning, apparently to lead the vot
ers -of this state to the belief that I
am unfit to represent them and un-
worthy of their confidence.
No Fatvora Aikcd.
"You cannot get a larger hearing, I
think, than In the way I have pro
posed. It offers the widest oppor
tunity and the fairest method. I ask
no favors at your hands but I insist
you owe it to the people of Oregon to
give them your message in an open,
fair manner, properly substantiated
and that I am entitled, in behalf of
tho people, to the same opportunity
for reply.' "'Wilt' you not reconsider
and grant my request?"
Governor west's reported reply to
Mr. Booth's first challenge is as fol
lows: "Hon. R. A. 'Booth, Portland, Or.
Replying to your telegram, will say, I
agree with you that your candidacy is
of great concern to the people of Ore
gon that Is why I have felt it ray
duty to discuss from the platform your
public record and the manner in which
you have come into the possession of
your timber and your wealth.
"Being scheduled for a number of
addresses in Portland during the next
two weeks and it being my intention
to further discuss your record and
activities. I hope you will find it con
venient to be present at some of these
meetings and hear what I have to say
Should you attend and so request, I
will be pleased to divide my time with
you that you may have every oppor
tunity to answer such charges as may
be made.
"In the meantime, let me suggest
that you kindly answer the charges
made in my speech of last Tuesday
night at the East Portland Washing
ton High ecnooi.

WORM AND PHRASES.
Words and phrases have
many uses. Best sellers are
filled with them, and ministers
use them in their sermons.
auditorial writers, perhaps, -'
use more words and phrases
than anybody else, but political
speakers are also very fond ot
them.
Sometimes they are used to
express thought.
Then, again, lawyers use
them to befuddle Judges, and
Congressmen use them to fill
the Congressional Record.
Poets employ words and
phrases to get their finest ef
fects, but it has long; been ad
mitted that words and. phrases,
per Be, have very little to do
with poetry, or else there would
be more real poetry in the mag
azines. As an example of words and
phrases that were used to ex
press thought, there is the Dec
laration of Independence and
the Ten Commandments. How-
ever, the Supreme Court has not
operated on these two composi
tions as it has on the Sherman
anti-trust law.
Sometimes words and phrases
are combined with music, and
this may result in either grand
opera, musical comedy or a
popular song.
Ko one knows what makes
a song- popular. If the public
at large did know, there would
be a great cry to remove the

B. Miller Declares That IT Relief

Transcontinental railroads are feel
ins; keenly the effects of the Panama
Canal competition and are confronted
with the stern necessity of reducing
their rates bo that they may continue
in the business of carrying ocean-to-ocean
traffic.
R. B. Miller, traffic manager of the
O.-VV. R. & N. Company, returned yes
terday frorj Chicago, where he attended
a- lengthy hearing before the Inter
state Commerce Commission at which
the lines went of Chicago, which com
prise the Transcontinental Freight
Bureau, petitioned for permission to
reduce their rates to Pacific Coast
terminals without snch reduction af
f ectlng the rates to intermediate points.
Every railroad in . the Transconti
nental Freight Bureau's territory, as
well as many communities on both
coasts and in the intermediate region
were represented. The carriers pointed
out to the commission that the traffic
now moves from New York to the Pa
cifio Coast by water oheaper than by
rail, that the rail lines will be com
pelled to retire from this business un
less the commission grants them relief.
Salmon Rate Cat.
"It is possible," said Mr. Miller, "to
ship from Chicago to New York and
thence by water to Pacific Coast
terminals at a lower figure than we
are able to carry it from Chicago di
rect to our terminals by rail."
As an illustration of this condition
the railroads have Just been forced to
reduce the rates on canned salmon
from Portland and Astoria to New
York. The old rate was 70 cents. The
new rate is 0 cents, on a minimum of
70,000 pounds to a car. A correspond
ing reduction has been placed in ef
fect to Chicago, Missouri River and
Mississippi River territory.
Panama Canal carriers are handling
salmon to New York for 30 cents. The
local rate back to Chicago from New
York is about 18 cents, giving the
combination rail and water line a rate
of 4S cents, which still is 12 cents
lower than the lowest rate the rail
lines can afford to make.

reductions without disturbing the
rates to intermediate territory, the
commission, if it grants this request
will be compelled to modify its rulings
in the Spokane rate case. For that
reason Spokane and other interior cities
are protesting against the change.
In the Spokane case the commis
sion held that the rates from the Mis
souri River territory shall not exceed
tbe rates to the Coast terminals; from
the Chicago territory the Spokane
rates shall not exceed the Coast rates
by more than 7 per cent, and from New
York the excess shall not be more than
25 per cent.
"These percentages," said Mr. Miller,
If applied in connection with the
rates from the Bast to Pacific Coast
terminals that will be necessary to
meet the competition of the canal
would be lower than the carriers can
afford to establish. They would cut
our rates as far east as Denver, and
probably beyond.
"The carriers therefore desire to
meet the competition at the Pacific
Coast terminals without disturbing the
rates to intermediate territory."

EUGENE. Or.. Oct. 18. (Special.)
A runaway engine that had shaken it
self from a freight wreck after the
fireman and engineer had jumped,
stopped itself within two miles of an
approaching passenger train, . on
the Willamette-Pacific Railroad, near
Richardson siding, about 40 miles west
of Eugene, late Saturday afternoon.
Ait. accident occurred too gravel car
in the train running west on the Willamette-Pacific
toward Mapletoti. One
of the two engines started, on ahead to
flag the passenger train, soon due.
The engine placed its flag several
miles down the track and started back.
In the meantime the damaged car had
been repaired and the second engine
went out to meet the first. They met
at a curve, both going at a high rate
of speed. The force of the collision
threw Engineer C. Simmons out of his
cab, though his engine was at the far
end of 24 loaded cars. He was bruised
slightly.
But just before the collision S. E.
Wall, engineer on the light engine,
threw the reverse lever and he and his
fireman. W. J. Bower, jumped. With
the wheels spinning in reverse the lo
comotive started off down the track
by Itself, leaving astonished trainmen
terror-stricken by the thought of the
passenger train less than six miles
away. The wild locomotive ran four
miles down the track and stopped for
lack of steam.

E LOSS
Portland Wharves Congested,
Cargoes Are Sent North.
PUGET SOUND REAPS GAIN
Due to Congestion Here, Seattle and
Tacoma Kecelve More Wheat,
Though Cities' Shipping Shows
no Rise Over Last Year.
Owing to congestion on the Portland
docks, shippers who have warehouses
in Portland and Puget Sound cities
have routed a considerable quantity of
grain that ordinarily comes to this city
via the more northern route. ' Figures
compiled at the Merchants' Exchange
yesterday indicate that docks in the
Puget Sound cities, "where shipping this
year has been about the same as last
year, must have reached a Toint of
congestion about equal to that of the
local docks.
The statistics show that the Puget
Sound cities, Tacoma and Seattle, have
received a total of 7938 cars of wheat,
measuring about 9.922.500 bushels. In
this estimate each car is considered as
containing 1250 bushels.
Route Gainful for Soond.
The same cities received up to Octo
ber 15 802 cars of flour, totaling 220,550
barrels. Estimating each barrel ot
flour equal to four bushels of wheat,
the customary ratio when Western
wheat is under consideration, the Pu
get Sound cities have about 10.914,750
bushels of wheat and flour in their
warehouses. This la about 3000 cars
more than the Puget Sound cities han
dled last year.
Portland has received about 6341 cars
of wheat, or about 7,928.250 bushels.
She has received 862 cars of Hour,
equaling approximately 237,050 barrels,
or about 1,066,725 bushels ot wheat.
This makes a total of S, 992. 975 bushels
of that cereal received at Portland.
The two Puget Sound cities, there
fore, have received 1,921,785 bushels of
wheat more than Portland.
Shipping; Here Suffers.
Shipping from these cities, however,
has been about the same as that ot
last year. Up to October 15 5,569,383
bushels of wheat had been handled by
the Puget Sound ships. Portland ma
rine export? have fallen considerably
short of last year's, owing to the fact
that a number of German ships intend
ed for this port have been tied up by
the" war. To October 15 the total ship
ments from Portland had been 4,387,621
bushels. ... .
Subtracting these shipments from the
total receipts, it appears that Portland
has about 4.805,854 bushels of wheat on
her docks, while the Puget Sound cities
have 5,345,867 bushels.
