RIDICULES PLAN
OF LABOR UNIONS
M. C. Banfield, "the Slabwood
King," Takes Up Cudgel for
the Fuel Dealers.
SAYS THERE IS NO TRUST
Is Not Alarmed by Steps Taken by
Federated Trades Council, but
Predicts That the Enter
prise Will Be Failure.
That . the Federated Trades cannot re
lieve the fuel situation in any degree
is the opinion of the fuel magnates.
"They couldn't manage a peanut stand,"
asserted M. C. Banfield, of the Banfleld
Veysey Fuel Company, yesterday. "I
would be glad to see the Federated
Trades bring in 60.000 cords of wood this
Winter, for they can sell it if they can
get it, but the sale of it should not be
managed by the men whose names I saw
In the paper this morning," he added.
That the plan of the labor leaders to
bring in slab and cordwood and supply
It cheaply to Portland householders 1b an
idle dream is the frankly expressed opin
ion of Mr. Banfield, who Is sometimes
known as the "slabwood king." He be
lieves the effort to punch the trust full
of holes is bound to fall because of the
condition of the market.
First of all, fuel magnates declare there
la no trust. They Insist that supply and
demand alone governs prices In the local
market. It is asserted that all the slab
wood -turned out by the sawmills is be
ing used, and that this supply is short
of what is required to heat Portland
homes during the coming Winter.
Mr. Banfield is authority for the as
sertion that there is no trust.
"There is no such thing." he declares,
"or if there is I do not know it. I do
not even know what the other fuel com
panies are charging, and I defy anyone
to say that he knows me in any other
way than with the Banfield-Veysey Com
pany, so far as a trust is concerned.
Banfield Blames Mayor.
. "Portland people would not be so hard
put to it for fuel at present had not
Mayor Lane vetoed an ordinance passed
by the Council over a year ago allowing
people to pile green slabwood in the
streets for 90 days, from August 1 to No
vember 1. for our piling grounds were
full at the time and we had no place to
put green slabwood. On this account we
had to dump about 1500 cords of wood
In the East Side sloughs. Otherwise this
wood might have been put to some good
use.
"We were then paying HMO a month
for rent on piling grounds for the wood
and all available space was taken. We
could pile no more wood and as the
Mayor would not consent to the use of
the sides of the streets by the people to
store wood for seasoning, much fuel was
thrown away. There has been no throw
ing away of fuel, however, for the past
year, and there is not likely to be any
more. It is far too valuable now to
throw away.
"We are paying twice as much to the
mills now 'for slabs as we paid a year
ago. The output is much smaller, and of
course the demand makes the fuel more
valuable."
The Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company, which sells considerable fuel,
will not figure In the market to a large
extent this Winter, for the company's
plant burns nearly all the fuel secured
by the company from the mills. The sur
plus that can be spared by the company
during the next few months, or until the
mills cut more lumber, will be small.
Prices Now Quoted.
Green slabwood now sells for $3 a load,
sawed in stove lengths, while the dry
slabwood is J3.7S a load. If a house
holder wishes to purchase a cord of
green slabwood In 4-foot lengths and
have it sawed himself It costs him $3
Just the same.
F. B. Jones & Company sell fir wood
for J8 a cord in 4-foot lengths, $6.50
sawed. Ash sells for 36.50 a cord In 4-foot
lengths, and 7 a cord sawed. The Port
land Fuel Company maintains the same
prices for fir, and V and J7.60 for oak.
"I think wood will be higher this Fall,
for all that has been cut is bought up
row," said Mr. Jones yesterday. "We
only have half as much wood as -last
year. I think there will be a plenty of
coal this Winter. We expect to get coal
from Coal Creek in August, which we
Intend to sell from $7 to $8 a ton."
The Pacific Coast Company is retailing
Black Diamond coal for $10 a ton, and
Cardiff coal for 112. Carbon Hill lump
coal Is sold at present by the Independent
Coal & Ice Company for il a ton, while
the steam coal Is J7.50. The Rocky Moun
tain coal is J10.50. The Indepenedent
Company expects to have six cargoes of
coal in port soon, a portion of which will
be sold to the small dealers about town,
and some shipped to cities in Eastern
Oregon If they can afford the price.
Coal dealers' Monopoly.
With but two or three dealers importing
coal and small retailers purchasing from
them, they have the opportunity of
charging whatever price the public will
stand. I
The price of coal is nearly double what
It was last year at this time, and it is
predicted that it will very high this
Winter. The chief complaint, both of the
coal dealers and those who have wood
to cut. is that men for the work cannot
be secured except when large wages are
paid. To ship Pennsylvania anthracite
it would cort $15.30 to the dealer laid
down at this city.
SIDE TRIPS OF MAZAMAS
Lakes in the Vicinity of Olalla Butte
Will Be Visited.
One of the principal features of the
Mazazma outing to Mount Jefferson
will be the two-days" stop on the re
turn trip at Olalla Butte, where, the
camp will be made on the banks of
the lake at the base, instead of camp
ing In the Hanging Valley for eight
days, as was originally planned.. Camp
will be moved after six days, a dis
tance of 12 miles north, to the un
named lake. This lake is about six
miles in extent the longest way, is
in the shape of an L, and encircles
Olalla Butte at the short end of the L.
It lies at the extreme summit of the
range on a narrow plateau or ridge,
and there is also another outlet to the
west. At the top of the L, which is
dry during the Summer, the elevation
of the lake is nearly 5000 feet, and
Olalla Butte stands out all alone, the
summit being over 2000 feet above.
Two parties will be made up al
this camp. One will ascend the butte
from the summit of which Jefferson
will stand out in the foreground, while
in the distance will be seen the Three
Sisters. Diamond Peak, Mlnto Moun
tain, Three-Fingered Jack, Mount Pitt
and. If the atmosphere is clear. Mount
Shasta. To the north, Mount Hood
will plainly be seen at a distance of
60 miles. This is the only point from
which the whole route of the Mazamas
may be seen, from the time they leave
Detroit until they reach Mount Jeffer
son. The second party will go about 2
miles west, to a small lake which is
at the extreme head of the south fork
of the Clackamas River. There is an
abundance of trout in this lake, and
it is proposed to catch some, carry
them to camp, and there Ifberate them
in the unnamed lake, as there are no
fish In the lake. It will be the privi
lege of all to go with which party they
desire, or to stay in camp, explore the
surroundings, build a raft and ride on
the lake, or go bathing, or there are a
number of other lakes In the vicin
ity which may be visited. The re
turn will be made over the Government
trail, which was built by a Mazama
Mr. Aschoff, from Mount Hood to De
troit. S. S. Mohler, the packed, and L. J.
Hicks, after taking the main party of
Mazamas to Detroit, will return to
Olalla Butte, and from there take up
the Government Trail for about 10
miles toward Mount Hood. Leaving
the main Mount Hood trail here they
will branch off toward the west, and
strike the south fork of the Clacka
mas River. This they will follow to
Casadero. The trip will take a week.
Those who desire to return this way
may do so by consulting Mr. Hicks.

WHEAT BUYERS SUE
Ask Damages in Sum of $58,
804 From 0. R. & N. Co.
CAR SHORTAGE INVOLVED
Action: Commenced by Kerr, Glfford
& Co. Similar to That Begun
by the Interior Ware- "
house Company.
WOOD TRUST - shrdlu cmfwy
Another suit to determine the lia
bility of railroad companies as com
mon carriers has been brought in the
State Circuit Court by Kerr, Glfford &
Co., of this city, who demand Judgment
against the Oregon Railroad & Navi
gation Company for 258,804 and inter
est on various amounts since 1904. In
this case the plaintiffs seek to recover
their costs and damages resulting from
the failure of .the defendant company
to furnish them with care with rea
sonable promptness for making large
wheat shipments.
The complaint is roluminous and
raises 6everal points of law as to the
extent of the liability of the defendant
transportation company. Plaintiffs
charge that in 1904 the wheat crop in
the states east of the Rocky Mountains
was practically a failure, with the re
sult that thero existed a big demand
for the wheat grown in Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho. It is further alleged
that the railroad company represented
to plaintiffs its ability to provide all
cars and facilities that would be re
quired for making large shipments
from this city to the Eastern markets.
Relying on these assurances, plain
tiffs say they made sales to Chicago
and other Kastern cities aggregating
1.777.000 bushels of wheat of the value
of $1,329,920. An average delay of 68
days, it is claimed, resulted on the part
of the railroad company In delivering
cars after they had been applied for,
whereas 15 days was a reasonable
length of time In which the deliveries
should have ben made.
Because of the inadequacy of the
service, the plaintiffs seek to recover
damages in the various amounts and
for the several causes, as follows: In
surance on the wheat shipment during
the 53 days' delay, 23315.77; warehouse
charges for the same period, $4669.91;
telephone and telegraph expenses In
communicating .with anxious Eastern
purchasers, 26000; extra expense for
agents in the Eastern cities, 22000; ex
penses of other additional workmen,
$7000; extra cost for making some
shipments In small rather than large
cargoes $4267; interest on the value of
the shipment, $11,368.40; damages re
sulting from depreciation In market
prlco of the wheat during the 63 days'
delay in transit, $15,250; cost of repairs
made by plaintiff- company to the
dilapidated cars furnished by the de
fendant company for the shipments,
$2933.44.
This is the second suit of the kind
pending against the O. R. fc N. Com
pany, the other having been filed by
the Interior Warehouse Company Fri
day for $36,000 damages.
