TJIE SUDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 7, 1900. COAST BIDDERS N HOW Northern Pacific Corrals Gov ernment Oats Contracts by Means of Dummy. BUYS GRAIN IN CHICAGO Haul Made to Ptigct Sound Porls at About Fifty Per Cent of the Published Freight Tariff. OLYMPIA. "Wash.. Jan. 6. (Special.) The statement is made here today by a high authority In srain shipping and rail road rates that the recently awarded con tract by the Quartermaster's department lor 1600 tons of oats wont to a confidential representative of the Northern Pacific Railway and that the contract 1k belns HHed by that company, to the exclusion of bona fide Pacific Coast bidder.". Concerning this contract the transpor tation committee of the Portland Cham ber of Commerce lias demanded an ex planation from the Northern Pacific Rail way, but which Is not yet forthcoming. The committee has believed that the rail road discriminated in rates in favor of Seattle and against Portland, to enable produce men in the former city to secure the contract. The best rate obtainable by. Portland bidders from the O. R. & X. was $S per ton from Missouri River points. These bidders can buy Eastern oats as cheaply as their Seattle competitors, yet the suc cessful Seattle, bidder offered oats at prices that could nol be met unless one got a ?5 rate from the railroad. The authority above quoted declares that the railroad adapted the same t3ctlcs three years ago in bidding on 4000 tons of oats for the Government. The railroad submitted a bid. but through a dummy representative, then bought the oats it self In Chicago and filled the order. In doing this, it received about 50 per cent of the published freight tariff on oats from Chicago to Seattle, but the rate discrimination was in favor of itself. Eastern Washington bidders were under bid $2 per ton and the result was the lowering of prices on Washington oats and the depriving of the Pacific growers of the Government contracts. The same plan was followed in awarding the recent contract. XEW OKEGOX INCORPORATIONS Articles Filed Willi the Secretary of Stale at Salem. t SAIjEM. Or.. Jan. C (Special.)

LESS RECEIPTS THAN EXPECTED Washington State Auditor Makes His Report for December. OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. C (Special.) The State Auditor's financial report for the' month of December "gives the receipts to the general fund at $125,570.50 and ex penditures 5152.43S.77. December has been counted on as one of tne months where heavy payments of taxes would offset the deficiencies of previous months. The payment from this source was but little more than $52,000 and Is an indica tion that the number of taxpayers who waited until November to bay the second half of their year's taxes was not large. It also indicates that the deficiencies in the general fund will continue from month to month until the large payments of 1905 taxes are received in May. The principal receipts came from the follow ing sources: State taxes paid by the sev eral counties. $52.25S.SG: tide lands sales. $26,554.36; liquor licenses, $37,417.76: inher itance taxes. $2742.10; Secretary of State's office, $3767.23. The expenditures for the month are di vided as -follows: State institutions and schools. $123,637.32; payroll of state offices, $29,601.45. The general fund shows an overdraft on ' January 1 of $50,597.80, an increase of $27. 000 In the one month. The expenditures from special funds were $32,076.89 and receipts $170,860.23. The receipts were principally to the current and permanent school funds. COIIVALLIS TO COLLECT TAXES Carelessness of City Authorities De- clared lo Be Xo Bar. - CORVALLIS, Or., Jan- 6. (Special.) The Corvallia city .government has not abaaae, the - pa f eel lading taxes thle year, published reports to the contrary notwithstanding:. The City. Council meets In regular seseion Monday night, and ajl that, time will make the usual rates of levy. An ad journed term of the Commissioners Court Is set for "Weanesday next, and it is- understood that It in arranged to accept the city levy to be fixed by Mon day night's Council meeting. It Is a fact that tho city authorities forgot to make the levy and report the same to the County Clerk "on or before January l," as by law required,, but an opinion from the Attorney-General, ha8tllV made, advises that the fact of reporting: the levy Is not' "Ju risdictional." and that the proceeding would be legal if the levy be reported to the County Clerk In time for the extensions to be made. It Is the pur pose of the city authorities to act on this advice, and to proceed as usual with the collectiqn of taxes. The city tax aggregates .annually about $5300, including the street levy that is usually 2 mills. The levy for general purposes Is usually 5 mills. With the town dry and no income from saloon licenses, the only reve nue outside of taxes Is a few hundred dollars in dray, hawkers' and other smaller licenses and rentals from cer tain city property.

LONG f EST ENDS N BROKEN HEART Poor Old Mother Goes Insane in Alaska While Looking for Her Boy. STOPS ALL SHE MEETS 31 rs. E. M. Eldrldgc Sold Her Little Property In Southern California and Wandered Far lo Find Son That Was Lost. SEATTLE, Wash.. Jan. 6. (Special.) If Truman C. Eldrldgc. a nomad, sup posed to be tramping about-somcwhorc In the Middle WeM. wants to find his poor old mother, let him wander out to Lake View Cemotcry and In an out-of-the-way spot he will find a grave, at the head of which someone has placed a slab of wood bearing these few words: "Died In Seattle of a broken heart. Mrs. E. M. Eldrldge." They buried the old woman out there the other day. After tra-cllng thou, sands of miles In an endeavor to locate her son. she became insane at Fair banks. Alaska, was sent to Seattle, and died in Providence Hospital. All she talked about before death came lo her relief was "My boy. Truman." One of the last boats to return In the Fall from Nome brought old Mrs. El drldgc a a passenger. She had lived In Southern California for yearn. Her hus band was dead, her son had left her. she was alone in the world. She had not seen her boy for seven years. She had a little property which she soW. and with the money she went out .into the world In search of him. She had a few answers to the hundred? of letters she had written in the hope of locating him. One told her that a boy answering to the name of Truman had been living In Montana. Another toW her that he had probably gone to Alaska. She went to many town? in the Middle West. lut he was not there. Then her money gave out. Then she heard about Alaska. There was plenty of gold up there, people told her; then, too, 5hc would probably find her boy up there among the other nomads. uch wanderers always went to the lands of reported riches. Mrs. Eldrldge went there. She journeyed from place to place, from camp to camp: nobody had .seen or heard of Truman. Her mind began to fail her. She stopped everybody she met and inquired about "her boy"rhe described him an he was when a child. She forgot that he had been away from her seven years. The ohi woman became a. familiar figure in and about Fairbanks. "She's crazy about a boy 'that doerted h. the old miners told the newcomers. Las! Summer she became ill; she could tramp about no more to tell her story. She needed attention that cannot be had In a mining camp. Tho citizens of the town, gamblers, miners, court officials and dancehall girl? raised money and had her shipped to Seattle. They hired a woman to accompany her and sent out money to pay hospital bills. She arrived on the steamship Victoria. The woman that oroushl her down had Instructions to turn her over to Dr. E. M. Rininger. She was glad to carry , out her In structions. The boat arrived In port at 3 o'clock la the morning and within an hour Mrs. Eldrldge was in the hospital, but there was not much occarfon for medical atten tion; she was beyond that. She needed a place where she could rest her poor old body in comfort for a month or two. The end came quickly, -as the physician aM It would, and they laid her away In lakc View. Yesterday a registered letter came to Dr. Rinlncer. It was addressed lo "Tru man Eldrldgc. Butte. Mont.," anil it was signed. "Your Poor. Sad -Hearted. OW Mother." She had written it last Sum mer at Fairbanks, sent it to the Butte postofflec: romc one had told her to try Buttt-again, but it camo back to Fair hanks with the words, "unclaimed: re turned to writer." i "tamped across it face. Here arc a few passages from the letter: "VVhr-n I think hw you act to me it hurt" me; think ef hII that 1 wear through for you. I went without the necessities of life that you might have them. It was a com fort -ij do It, but fomrhew I thought whn you was a man w would have our ah? home end take comfort la it. But you left me when I wai old and feeble. When I look at your photograph your fare r-emt sad. I think you have met with disappoint ment. If you have, no one would m pathir.e with you tike your poor oM mother. Truman, you are a man now. I am at th end of my road. You should think of tfi days when you were little and I dM o much for you. It Is for you to imy. shall I live or die; If you do not shew mi- foots kindness I cannot live a ay longer. I do not know where to jtend thin letter, hut some way or other I think you arc la Butte. Good-bye. dear Truman. Pity your moth er's sad heart. If you don't care for me any more tell me why. From your poor, pad-hearted, old mother. P. S.
