THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 13, 1907. CASTING EYES AT DAY STATE National Interest in Coming Political Battle Is Growing. PRESIDENT IS CONCERNED Ilenry Cabot Lodge Usees Desper ate Fight, and H. M. Whitney, Original Member "Ananias'" C'li to Run for Governor. WASHINGTON, Aug:. 17. (Special.) Eager - National interest is turning: toward Massachusetts, where the hot test political battle for a score of years is to be fought this coming; Fall. The Washington administration is deeply concerned over the outcome of the off-year election in the Old Com monwealth for two reasons one of which Is that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, closest friend of President Eoosevelt in Congress, la. confronted with the most desperate fight of his career as leader of the Republican state organization, and the other that Henry M. Whitney, original member of the "Ananias Club," is slated for the Democratic nomination for Governor against Curtis Gould, Jr., who will run Jor re-ele'ction to the executive chair. Rumblings from preliminary skir mishes tickets and platforms having been pretty well outlined in advance of conventions indicate a campaign of ferocious personalities. Doubtless the National administration will lend its Influence in every way it can to de feat the election of Whitney, because of the bitter personal enmity existing between the latter and President Roosevelt and knowledge that Whit ney's victory in a year preceding a Presidential campaign would be used throughout the country as an alleged repudiation of the present White House element. MEET IX CHICAGO IN 1908 IVlndy City Expects Democratic Convention. CHICAGO, Aug. 17. (Special.) Assur ances have been received by local Demo crats that Chicago will be chosen aa the place of meeting for the Democratlo Na tional Convention of 1908. Details of space afforded for seats in the Coliseum were laid before National Committeeman Roger C. Sullivan today, and a conference which Was expected to put the finishing touches on the plans was held between Mr. Sul livan and Chalnnan Thomas Taggart, of the National committee, this afternoon. Further than that Mr. Sullivan made a brief statement which his friends construe as meaning beyond a doubt that it has been decided Informally by the National Committeemen, with nearly all of whom Chairman Taggart is frequently In con ference, to locate the big convention here. "I think Chicago has a very good chance of getting the convention," said Mr. Sul livan. "Chicago and Illinois have candi dates for the Presidency. This city may be described as neutral ground, a fair field for all. There will be no passes for the convention of 1908, upon which states men have frequently traveled in the past, and therefore the rates which railroads will make for this city will prove a big advantage to us In seeking the conven tion." JAPANESE GUEST OF HONOR WITH SECRETARY STRAUS. ISHII ATTENDS BANQUET. Bay City Chamber of Commerce Ad dressed by Mikado's Director of. Commercial Affairs. SAM FRANCISCO. Aug. 17. The Fair mount Hotel was the scene of an Inter national lovefeast this afternoon, the occasion being a banquet tendered by the 6an Francisco. Chamber of Commerce, as sisted by many prominent Japanese. The guest of hone was KlklJIro Ishil, Director of Commercial Affairs of the Japanese Foreign Office. Another honored guest was Secretary Straus, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, who was a fel low passenger of Director Ishli on the Bteamer Asia. There were about 150 guests, including Major Taylor, of this city, and elaborate preparations were made to make the af fair international in character. There was mineral water from Japan and sing ers and performers from the same land. According to Secretary M. Burke, of the Chamber of Commerce, the object of the banquet was to favorably influence any reports that Director Ishli may make to his government upon the Japanese labor troubles here. Peace was the key note of the affair. The sentiments of every orator reflected his personal faith In the good Intentions of the business men of the two nations to ward each other. The most significant utterance was that of Director Ishil in connection with local Japanese troubles when ho said: "The foolish talk of war because of sporadic disturbances, here and there, resulting in local friction, is unthinkable to the masses of the people. It Is not the sentiment of Japan and the thinking that your, country Is responsible for him who throws a stone or offers insult to an Inoffensive subject of Japan upon the streets, as voicing the sentiment of the American people." ' Secretary Straus spoke on labor, and his good Impressions of the Hawaiian Islands. WOMAN SLEUTH PROMPT Finds Burglar in Room and Cries Lustily. SPOKANE, Wash.. Aug. 17. (Special.) "Robber, police, stop that burglar," shouted Loy Marie de Noevre, a female detective at an early hour this morning. as she leaned out of the window of a Bprague avenue rooming-house, clad only in her night robe and pointed to the flee ing figure of a man who was making east on Sprague avenue. But a few minutes before the woman sleuth awoke and found the man standing at the foot of her bed. 4 "Get out of here at once or I'll shoot," she commanded. Through the door the supposed burglar broke at fast speed and made for the street, falling downstairs in his wild dash. Picking himself up he dashed away with a policeman who had been attracted to the spot, in pursuit. After a dash of several blocks the man was overtaken. At the police station it was discovered that the burglar was J. E. M. Bailey, former Prosecuting Attorney of Stevens County, an attorney for Miss De Noevre. When confronted by the woman at the station he asserted that he gained ad mittance to her room to get his diploma which he said was there. "Well, if you wanted the diploma, why did you not come for It in the morning?" was asked. Bailey murmured some excuse. The woman is awaiting trial before the Su perior Court on a barratry charge claimed to be the first of Its kind in the history of the state. She is charged with working up a lawsuit against a Northern Pacific section boss,, who severely In jured Joe Boinsteln in a saloon fight. A settlement for J250 was made, when Miss De Noevre grabbed the money and par celed it out among a number, keeping nearly all of It.

The first big gun was fired today by the Board of Equalization, backed up by the State Tax Commissioners. The public service corporations that appealed for a release or reduction of their tax assess ments were grilled without mercy. The street railway company asked for a heavy reduction, which roused the Ire of State Tax Commissioner Easterday, who said:' "When a company comes in here and tells us that they hold no franchises, that their mortgages are worthless, that they are gettnlg shipments to offset their Just taxation, it Is time to force the Issue and we heartily Indorse the action of the Board of Equalization in making these raises. "Exclusive franchises are of great value In this growing city, and what a thing is worth for the purpose of barter and sale. It is worth for taxing purposes, and this same proposition applies to fran chises as well as to tangible property and requires no arguments." The Board refused to change the assess ment and a similar request from the Western Union was also turned down. SETTLING ZONE DIFERENCE Colombia and Panama to Confer Over Old Debt. WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.

WILL FIGHT RATE LAW (Continued from First Page.) closely together the lumber interests are standing In the present crisis. Not only that, but all lines of business pledged their support to the lumber manufacturers. While the Oregon & Washington Lumber Manufacturers' Association had only 18 firms repre sented when It was organized May 6, 1905, It now includes 206 companies and has become a great power In the 11 e it represents. . S. B. Cobb, secretary of the Standard Box & Lumber Company, was toast master at last night's dinner. Beside him at the- head table v sat Philip Buehner, president of the" Oregon & Washington Association; Henry Hahn, of Wadhams & Co.; J. N. Teal, attor ney for the association; A. C. Dixon, of Eugene, chairman of the advanced rate committee; H. C. St. Clair, of the Twin Falls lagging Company, and George K. Wentworth, secretary of the Port land Lumber Comi any. - In introducing the first speaker. Toast master S. B. Cobb said he was very much gratified to find the representatives of all Industries of the Pacific Northwest present, for he said a blow at one indus try Is an' injury to all. He said he was aware that all those present realize this. Secretary A. B. Wastell, of the Oregon & Washington Lumber Manufacturers' Association, then read letters of regret from a number of prominent business men of Portland and the state, who were unable to attend. President Buehner Speaks. Philip Buehner, president of the asso ciation, was introduced as the first speaker. His remarks dealt directly with the rate controversy. He said the rates now in effect on the railroads have been the tariff for the past seven years, that the peculiar thing about the advance is that the increase begins at the borders of those states which have passed the 2-cent passenger fare laws during the past year. The advance in rates, he declared, would amount to $50 to $100 a car on lumber shipped to the Middle West. "There was a time," said he, when a new road into a new country could charge a high rate, but the Union Pacific has been earning 12 per cent during the past few years and we cannot see why this rate should be advanced Just when lumber is beginning to become weak out here. I do not believe Mr. Harriman him self could give a good reason for It. Per haps his traffic manager could tell. By the new rate we will have to give up a good deal of that territory we have for merly served. In Oregon during the past year there was a cut of 2,000,000,000 feet. Money paid for labor amounted to $20, 000,000 in this state. Speaks of the Effect Here. "What will be the effect 'on Portland and the whole state If this advanced rate Is put Into effect? I need not say that It Is certain to effect all industry in this state.." A. C. Dixon, of Eugene, chairman of the special rate committee, was next called on for a review of the general sit uation. His talk was marked by consid erable optimism, for he said the standing fir timber on the Pacific Coast is so far greater than the available supply of pine in the South that the Northwest Is bound to make Itself felt strongly In the lum ber market of the country. But he said this would be a long way in the future. Meanwhile the lumber manufacturers would have to stand together against ex cessive demands of the railroads for high freight rates. Mr. Dixon said the far East is looking forward to the opening of the Panama Canal so that Oregon fir may be shipped economically to those markets. The shipment of Oregon fir to the Eastern markets, he said, has stead ily Increased, and the missionary work of the past few years to develop the market has had its effect, but the advanced rate of $3 per thousand will drive the Oregon manufacturer out of these markets. He said he believed the advanced rates to the East means the wiping out of 60 to 80 per cent of the lumber business in ths Interior of this state. Chairman Hahn'i Addiss. Henry Hahn, chairman of the trans portation committee of the Chamber of Commerce, spoke on the subject. "Rela tions of the Lumber Industry to the Com mercial Development of the Pacific North west." "We consider the lumber industry Peculiar to Itself In selection, proportion and combination of ingredients. In the process -by which their remedial values are extracted and preserved, In effectiveness, usefulness and economy, Curing the widest range of diseases. Doing the most good for the money. Having the most medicinal merit. And the greatest record of cures, Hood's Sarsaparilla In usual llauid form or In chooolatMl I tablets known as Sarsatabs. 100 doses $L among the very largest consumers of our goods. I consider it second to none other. "The question, to my mind, is what jlstlfles the advancement in rates? They say they want more why do they want it? These Northwestern roads have been earning up to 20 per cent on their stock issues. How can they justify this ad vance? The net return to the railroads for a car of lumber to St. Paul is $264. Ore and grain do not net so much. Can ned goods from this Coast to New York only brings about $275 a car. To the average layman it is hard to understand how rates are made. It appears to us that the profit on lumber is a very hand some one. "The railroads will tell you that lum ber does not pay a fair proportion of transportation cost. It would be interest ing if we could get Stubbs of Miller to tell us what Is their basis of operation. The present system seems to be a hit and miss system. Charge what the traffic will bear has . been the favorite maxim with all traffic managers. Situation Becoming Acute. "The railway situation is becoming quite acute. They say it is high time for the public and the railroads to get to gether. It is. a singular thing that while the railroads spend millions In fighting each other for territory, there Is never any fight on rate questions. The traffic managers of the railroads can' always get together. To my mind a reasonable rate should be based 'upon an estimate of values. It behooves us to call upon the Interstate Commerce Commission and the State Railroad Commission to secure the PRESIDENT OP OREGON AND WASHINGTON LIMBER MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION. Philip Buehner. valuation of the railroads as a reasonable basis for rate-making. "We wish the lumbermen success in their Issue and pledge our hearty support to them In their fight." . Walter Tooze, of Falls City, spoke briefly of the effect of, the curtailment of the lumber Industry on the commercial Interests of the Willamette Valley. He referred to the war on the railroads being waged by Theodore Roosevelt and ap plauded his stand. J. M. Shelley, of Eugene, was the next speaker. While not a lumberman, he said he felt that when th.. lumbering in terests are attacked, all Ikies of industry are threatened. f . . "The 'raising of lumber rates so that shipments to the Eastern markets, are prohibitive," he said, "would be equal to an attack of paralysis 1n physical fife. The railroads will be killing the goose that lays the golden egg. By your action to night, you are showing the railroads that there are others In this Pacific Northwest beside those engaged In railroading. Local Rates Are High. "Local rates in the Willamette Valley are high. We had occasion to ship a less than carload of flour to Medford from Eugene. What dp you think the rate was? It was 32 cents a sack while the carload rate Is 10 cents for 100 pounds." Mr. Shelley told of having had trouble to get cars on the Southern Pacific to haul wheat to his mill and be put on a mule team to haul wheat which did the work more economically than the rail road. H. C. Clair spoke for the logging in dustry, showing the effect of the advance In rates. on the loggers. He showed how stumpage and labor prices have advanced during the past five years. Stumpage has advanced about 600 per cent, while labor has gone up 50 or 60 per cent. Logs have increased from 60 to 60 per cent dur ing that time. He said loggers have one advantage over the sawmill man for he can close down his camp and suspend op erations. "Looking at this condition In a common sense way," said he, "it would be very foolish for a logger to place his one crop on the market at a loss. If the in dustry were cut off, the railroads would notice it, the storekeeper would notice It, the farmer would notice It. The rail roads themselves would be seriously af fected." The result of the proposed advance In lumber freights on the planing mill in dustry was discussed by Samuel Connell of the Northwest Door Company. He said he believed the policy of the rail roads In raising rates is wrong and will be a great damage to the Industries of the Pacific Northwest. Le Roy Browne, president of the" Ma rion County Lumber Manufacturers As sociation, said the effect of Increased rates In Marion County will be to put about nine-tenths of the mills in that county out of business. Charles Deyette. of the Marshall-Wells Hardware Company pledged the support of his company to the lumbermen in their present fight against the railroads. W. A.

(DiLyC9 ELKS' BUILDING, SEVENTH AND STARK Coast Jobbers' Association, told of the ruin to the grocery business that would be wrought by the proposed advance In rates. He also told of the arbitrary man ner of the railroads in dealing with rate matters. He gave Instances of this which have come up In his experience. He as sured the lumbermen that the wholesale grocers were with them in .their fight for he said his organization Is used to fight ing railroads. B. C. Ball, of the Willamette Steel & Iron Works, said his firm is vitally in terested In the success of the sawmill and. logging industries and that his firm can be counted upon when funds are secured to conduct the fight. F. C. Knapp, treasurer of the Oregon & Washington Lumber Manufacturers" Association, said the whole Coast is united in the struggle against "the advanced rates. Both Puget Sound and California lumbermen were said to be with the Ore gon manufacturers and will be ready to lend every assistance possible. . There was a large attendance at the regular meeting of the Oregon & Washington Lumber Manufacturers' Association yesterday afternoon In the Chamber of Commerce hall. The In creased rates, on lumber to the East formed the subject for discussion, and all took part freely. The determination to fight the advances made by the rail roads on lumber freights was heartily supported by all present. After extended discussion of the sub ject, the association agreed unanimous ly to give the committee, already at work on ways and means, to secure the return to the former rates, full power to act in the matter. This committee was also commended for what it has so far accomplished in the work. The committee consists of A, C. Dixon, of Eugene, chairman; F. C. Knapp. of Portland; George E. Gerlln ger, of Dallas; S. B. Cobb, of Portland; B. C. Miles, of Newberg, and Philip Buehner, ex-offlcio member. This committee will have charge of the organization of the ' publicity bureau to be formed by the associ ation to smoke out the railroad tariff makers In their stand on the rate ques tion. The committee will also select a manager to wage the contest with the railroads on the rate question. At yes terday's meeting there was evidenced the firm determination to go ahead with the campaign for a return to the old rates, and the struggle from now on will be unremitting. This committee will hold meetings this week to make detailed plans for tho fight on the rate question. METAL BED SALE THIS WEEK Enameled Iron Bed a very ihon) Bed, SPECIAL,, S4.50. INDEPENDENT 104-106 FIRST STREET STARTLING PIANO PRICES EILERS EMERGENCY SALE TURNS YEAR'S DULLEST SEASON INTO RECORD-BREAKER San Francisco Sends Three More Oars of Finest Instruments to Portland for Immediate Sale These Will Be Offered on Even More Liberal Basis Than Those in Previous Shipment Such Remarkable Values Excite Music Circles to Highest Pitch and Cause Other Dealers to View the Situation With Dis may Those Who Wish to Profit by the Opportunity Must Lose No Time A Significant Pointer for Every Thoughtful Music Loving, Pianoless Man anri Woman. " - rapid growth and tremendous expan sion of the Eilers business is still more significant, in the face of the fact that many other and older houses have gone to pieces and are suffering a gradual decline in output and influence. The reasons for this great trade supremacy are not hard to establish. First, the Eilers Houses were btarted upon popular principles, to carry none but reliable makes of pianos and organs, to sell at the lowest prices consistent with a fair profit, to have ocrictly one price, and a definite "Money-Back Guarantee." Second, absolute good faith with the public in every transac tion. ' These policies have revolutionized the piano-purchasing question in the West. The Eilers Houses have made it possible for any one of moderate means to own a first-class piano to buy it on terms so easy that paying for it need hardly be felt. A piano that sold under the methods of other dealers in former days at $400 can be bought at Eilers now for not to exceed $255. The progressive and modern way of piano selling as now carried on by the Eilers Houses saves the individual purchaser not less than $50 to $150 of the prices that are today asked by other firms. After a Spring and Summer of tur bulent conditions, so unsettled that every line of business in San Fran cisco suffered, followed by the second great fire on Van Ness Avenue, after which the insurance companies can celled practically all of their risks on the contents of temporary buildings, our House there found it impossible to accommodate the enormous stock of new instruments ordered in anticipation of occupying their new building on Mar ket street in September. The new quarters will not be ready for weeks yet perhaps several months. All building operations have been retarded on account of the strikes. The3e new pianos must be moved sold for there is no place there for them. Now, in addition to the great saving that the Eilers methods make possible in the ordinary way, there is added to the inducements offered another saving, for these pianos will be sacrificed in order to dispose of them quickly. Seven carloads of them have already been sold here in Port land within the past two weeks. Three more cars have just been received, and the forty-four additional instruments in this shipment will be offered during the coming week, on terms even more liberal than those established for the first hundred and seventeen. Finest Makes- The makes embraced in this positively unparalleled offer are all too well known to need indorsement; the prices are sensational in the extreme; $200 pianos go for $114; $300 pianos go for $171; $400 grades go for $228, and $500 instruments go for $285. Torms as low as $50 down on the finest and most costly instruments will be accepted, and as low as even $25 on the less expen sive grades, with the balance in a year. With such a saving as this, such splendid makes to choose from, and terms so easy, you can hardly afford to pass this unusual opportunity. But remember, this sale only applies to these forty-four instruments; .when these are sold, your chance to buy upon such a remarkable basis wi'l end. Therefore, be prompt. Come tomorrow.
