11 A V CITY, Or.. March 7. (Special.)
That Tillamook Bay points will soon
havp a now boat service is now prac
tically assured. Portland business
men, whose names have' not 6een made
known hre, have made a proposition
to the merchants and shippers of Bay
City and Tillamook to place the gaso
line steamer Anvil on the run-between
Portland and Tillamook Bay,' and the
proposition is receiving hearty sup
port. A petition which has just been cir
culated here was signed by every mer-
Khunt anH ahlnnar n Ttu V fit V ' finrf.lt
is said the same result was attained
At Tillamosk. By the agreement the
hay merchants and shippers pledge
their exclusive patronage .to the Anvil
for a period of two years, 'while the
boat people agree to establish-a regu
lar service between Portland nd the
bay cities, and charge a reasonable
freight and passenger rate.
When the- proposition was presented
here by Tillamook representatives a
moating of the Bay City merchants and
other business men was called, and
within 30 minutes after the meeting
the petition had been signed up and
was on its way back to Tillamook.
.The prompt action by the Bay City
people indicates their feeling, toward
the Pacific Navigation Company, which
for a long- "time hay controlled the
transportation service of Tillamook
Bay points by operating the steamer
Hue H. Klmore from Astoria. The
merchants here were notified a few
days ago by the company that the-Klmore
would hereafter run direct to
Portland, but the change will have no
elTcct on the attitude of the Bay City
people, as It Is generally believed that
the new move was inaugurated solely
for the purpose of discouraging; pro
posed competition. ' .
It is also stated from an authorita
tive source that the Pacific Naviga
tion Company is making preparations
to place its gasoline schooner Eva on
the run between Astoria or Portland
and Bay City, to handle the freight
and passenger traffic for way points,
in which event the Klmore would make
no stop between Astoria and Tilla
mook. This, however, is also regarded
here as a further effort on the part of
the company to shut out competition.

The' borne, was occupied on January 15,
1908.-. The smaller of the two buildings,
only, is being used at the present time,
but the applications from homeless old
people all over the Northwest indicate
that It .will not be long' until the capac
ity.of 'both houses will be taxed in caring
for the many old folks who are homeless.
The larger building is at present occupied
by a sorority from the University, but
it will be vacated in June, to be used for
the Christian Home.
The, first inmate of the home, Ofrandma

pioneer woman who has outlived aft her
people and who knew of none of her

Grandma Todd, who will be 78 years old

a favorite employment with her is her

never wears glasses in doing her work
or for reading. Her character is very
well shown in a remark which she made
to J. Jl. Morris, the superintendent of the

She said, "Brother Morris, you know if
I am to be happy here, I must be work

white yarn so that I can knit you a wash

She -is very apt in conversation, always

stay in Seattle will be along this line.
There are several men In Seattle and Ta

Dame Fortune in the past few years who
will undoubtedly do their, best to help raise
the funds required here.
"If all our plans bear fruit. Whitman
College, which is now a non-sectarian in

what Yale is to the Bast."
It is well known that certain Chicago
men of vast wealth have liberally en
dowed Whitman College in the past, but
tt is also stated that the sources from
which the. money has comen the past are
willing to subscribe $1,500,000 for Whitman,
providing a liberal spirit Is shown by men
of means in the Pacific Northwest. While
trie sum mentioned. $500,000. is expected to
be subscribed by ciitzens of Oregon,

Washington Commission Gathering
Material Evidence That Railroad
Surplus Is Xot Justly Earned.
Expect Pope on the Stand. '
OLTMPTA, Wash., March ".(Special.)
The lumber rate question is becoming
an Important factor In the valuation hear
ings before the Railroad Commission, and
on it, whichever way it is decided by
the Interstate Commerce Commission, the
Railroad Commission will apparently be
able to base a finding that rates on other
commodities are too high-
The 'Commission has been endeavoring
to bring out as mi.oh testimony as pos
sible concerning tho lumber rate, and by
stipulation with the railroad attorneys
has introduced portions of the testimony
of Presidents nill and Elliott, sabmit
ted on the subject to the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
It will apparently be the theory of the
Railroad Commission that If the old 40
cent rate on lumber occasioned a loss
to the railroads, then the surplus as
shown in the financial statements of the
companies, has been attained by charg
ing exorbitant rates to shippers of other
commodities. If the rate was not too
low, then other rates are proportionately
too high.
Hauling Lumber at a Loss.
The testimony of the two railroad pres
idents introduced by stipulation from
Interstate Commerce records includes pos
itive statements that the railroads have
been hauling lumber across the conti
nent at an absolute loss.
This testimony was corroborated today
before the Railroad Commission by J. B.
Pope, assistant engineer of the Southern
Pacific, who has been loaned to the O.
R. & N. as an expert for the purpose of
testifying in the present hearings.
"Then the railroads have been robbing
other shippers to make up this loss and
craate a surplus, for the benefit of the
stockholders, haven't they?" queried
Chairman H. A. Fairchild.
Make Up Loss Elsewhere.
"No. sir. The railroads have been mak
ing the lumber shippers a present," was
the retort.
Under cross-examination, Mr. Pope ad
mitted that rates on one commodity might
be higher than otherwise, were It not for
losses by reason of low rates on other
commodities.
"You have to make up on the dog
salmon what you lose on the herring,"
Interjected Judge M. J. Gordon, attorney
for the Great Northern.
The extent to which the railroads have
prepared for the hearing now drawing to
a close was also shown by Mr. Pope's
testimony. His evidence was largely in
the form of tabulated statements which,
he explained to the Commission. He tes
tified that he had been at work eight
months preparing .the data anu had had
the assistance of a stenographer and five
rate clerks, and had been accorded the
fullest access to the accounting depart
ment of the railroad.
Pope's Figures Confirmatory.
Mr. Pope is a recognized expert on
railroad construction. His testimony in
some particulars was confirmatory of
that submitted by the Commission's ex
perts, or rather did not fully conform
to the testimony on certain points sub
mitted by the other railroads. This was
particularly true of his estimates of the
cost of earth removals. The cost to the
O. R. & N. in this particular, as testi
fied to by Mr. Pope, shows a much lower
figure than that given on similar work
by the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific.
DEBATERS TO BE ALL GIRLS

ALBANY, Or., March 7. (Special.)

PERSISTENT IX SALOOX CASES
Anti-Saloon League Keeps Up Vig
orous Fight in Aberdeen.
ABERDEEN, Wash., March 7.
(Special.) The prosecution of saloon
keepers for violation of the Sunday law
is keeping the County Attorney and
the Anti-Saloon League here busy.
There have been about 23 arrests and
the trials so far have resulted In two
convictions and several disagreements,
while three have paid their fines with
out protest.' '
The expense of trying these cases has
been considerable eo far. In the mean
time there is an election pending with
two saloonkeepers running in two of
the wards and the brewery company
interests fighting for men in other dis
tricts. At the same time thj Anti
Saloon League intends to keep up its
merry war.
During the past year the anti-saloon
men have accomplished much in the clos
ing of dancehails and in the enforcement
of the Sunday law to the extent of hav
ing the saloon doors at least closed on
Sunday.
