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.

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.

of the Centennial Milling Company, with
a capacity pf 2400 barrels of flour per day,
and that of the Hammond Milling Com

rels, will be forced practically to close
down. The boycott has been felt for the
pist few months by every flour milling
concern doing an export business on the
Pacific Coast and the outlook for the
flouring industry, unless the boycott Is
removed, is believed to be anything but
bright.

In the basement of a the public' II
'brary thU afternoon Everett G. Griggs,
vice-president of the St. Paul & Tacoma
Lumber Company, slapped D. J. Wil
liams, assistant librarian, in the face,
because the latter would not deny his
published statements made at the mass
meeting in the Presbyterian Church
Wednesday night that Griggs father
was a taxdodger.
Griggs first called Williams a liar
and then slapped "him. He started for
Williams again, when a reporter. the J
only other person present, grabbed his
arm and told him that was not the
place for a fight. Williams controlled
his anger and walked away from Mr.
Grigge back Into the reading room.
Griggs carried a riding whip in his
hand which served to intimidate Wil
liams somewhat. Williams is an athlete
and could easily have thrashed Griggs.

Tax Levy Made In Washington.
H1LLSBORO, Or. Jan. 6. (Special.)
With a valuation of $10,000,455, the County
Board last evening made a tax levy of 10.4
mills, which will yield a net county rev
enue, aside from the special taxes,
amounting to 5110.86S.75, over $22,000 less
than last year's levy. This contradicts
the complaint that went up last Spring
when the Assessor raised valuations, that
taxes would be higher.
Last year the valuation -was about J5,
000,000, and the county raised $123,012 for
all expenses and the state tax.

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. I, have a claim -0 miles from here

where If the franchise is held up longer
to arrange a terminal company. The St.
Paul explains that the natural outgrowth
of a railroad Invasion into Hill Melds here
