Hays and Alfred Gilbert loow enough alike to be twins, and Gilbert is frequently taken for the New York boy by some enthusiast who desires to be Informed whether it is possible or htm to run BO miles without tiring. Gilbert never replies; simply smiles and walks away. He Is anxious to get home, and says Tuesday will prove a most welcome day for him. r Anxious to Get Home. Smithson is equally anxious, but Kelly would like to participate in a track meet at Newark next Saturday. He will prob ably decide to come West, for both Gilbert and Smithson are urging him strongly to do so. All three would like to participate In a regular track meet when "they get home. All three are feeling fine and think themselves capable of smashing some Nortnwest records If a regular meet can be arranged. All of the Olympic athletes are eagerly awaiting the carnival of Monday, when the entire team has been Invited to spend the day with President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. SHOPOWNERS COMPLAIN Declare at Present Lumber Rate, Vessels Cannot Make Expenses. : SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 29. Ship own ers on Puget Sound are complaining bit terly because of the extremely low rates at which lumber is being carried from Puget Sound to San Francisco and San Pedro, and the Government has come In for a good share of the criticism. Coastwise shipping rates on lumber have dropped to the low-water mark. Recent fixtures Include two schooners to load at Port Hadlock for San Francisco at $2.75. and another from Grays Harbor at the same figure. For Southern California, about 13.50 is being offered. The Ship Owners' Association circular gives the lumber rate from Puget Sound to San Francisco at J3.25. but it is an open secret that the three vessels in question nave been fixed t 50 cents less than that figure. A steam schooner .which was on the Sound las! week received J4 a thousand . for her cargo of lumber for San Pedro, and called at five different ports on Puget Bound. - Ship owners declare that at the present rates their -vessels can hardly make ex penses. There is a disengaged fleet of between 15 and 20 coasters on Puget Sound at present, with small hopes of any of them getting a charter in the near future. Until the California demand for lumber picks up. the ship owners do not anticipate an advance in rates. The Government has come In for rounds of censure by the ship owners, who al lege that the officials at Washington are responsible for the present low rates. It chartered foreign tramps to bring coal to the Pacific, and these outsiders have forced down prices by accepting almost any rate, and the American-owned ves sels have no chance. KIDNAPED, SAYS MILLMAN Nonunion 1st Declares I'ntan Miners Took Him to California. SPOKANE. Aug. 29. A weird story of kidnaping. Involving members of the Miners' Union. Is told by Frank Gillice. nonunion millman of the'Bunk er Kill & Sullivan mine, at Kellogg, Idaho. Gillice, who disappeared mys teriously two weeks ago, and was found later In California, has returned home. He declares that on the day he disappeared two men 'met him in the road at Kellogg, disarmed Mim and compelled him to ride with them in a box car to Tekos, Wash., watching him constantly. There he was put on a train and taken to Sacramento. Cal., where the men took S500 from him and left hlm. Gllllce claims he overheard the men planning to capture others in the same way. and also discussing kidnaping the baby of Manager Stanley Eason, of the Bunker Hill mine, and holding It for ransom. Gillice Is the engineer who was running the hoist In the Portland mine, at Victor. Colo., when the cage dropped, carrying 14 men down 200D feet to instant death. Friends fear this tragedy may have affected his mind. BOWEN REDUCED IN RANK President Commutes Sentence of Dismissal From Army. WASHINGTON. Ai. 29. First IJeu tenant William S.

Otto Harald Says He Fired in Self Defense, but Witnesses Deny His Storj. An unidentified German laborer of middle age was probably fatally wounded in a saloon brawl at 7 o'clock last night In the resort at Second and Burnside streets, known as the saloon of all Nations. The shooting, so far as the police investigation has been able to reveal, was the result of a drunken row over who should buy drinks. Otto Harald. a German, said to be a blacksmith, who admits having done the shooting, is locked up in the City Jail charged with assault with a dan gerous weapon. Together with him the police took Into custody and are holding William Kaomann, 40 years of age. also a German laborer. Harald would have escaped had it not been for the quick action of Alfred Lynch, who is employed at the saloon lunch counter. Immediately after the shooting Harald ran to the street, while all the eyewitnesses except Lynch took no steps to stop him. Lynch vaulted the counter and gave chase to the fleeing man who hd the revolver still In his hand. Harald was overtaken by Lynch before he had run one block, and was held until the ar rival of Patrolmen Anundson and Swennes, who placed Harald under ar rest ' Harald maintained that he had been attacked and robbed of $17. by several men and that he shot in self defense while they were assaulting him and one was choking him. Besides Lynch the shooting was witnessed by several men In the saloon, including Gus Baker, the bartender. Those who were pres ent in the place declare that Harald's story is untrue and that Harald got into a quarrel with his victim because the latter remarked that Harald had not done his share of the buying. Blows were exchanged and Harald stepped behind a pool table in the cen ter of the room. When the others ad vanced Harald drew his revolver, wit nesses say. and fired twice. One of these shots took effect In the unknown man's right side. It penetrated the liver and left a Jagged wound In the lower lobe of the lung. The victim was hurriedly conveyed to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he was operated upon by Dr. Fred G. Ziegler. the City Phy sician. He was unconscious when taken to the hospital, and was placed under the anaesthetic as soon as he revived sufficiently. Up to a late hour he had not recovered from the effects of the anaesthetic. . Harald has been In this country for about a year, and in Portland for but three weeks, according to his state ments. During that time he had been working for a contractor whose name he could not remember. As Dr. Ziegler declares that the re covery of the wounded man is extremely-doubtful. Harald stands a good chance of facing a charge of murder. September Weather Statistics.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has returned from an extended trip through the Western States. "The question of getting enough wood m most of the states east of the divide," he says, "cannot be determined by plant ing timber to meet the requirements of the people, but the growing of something on the watersheds should be attended to. and that Is being closely studied by the Department of Agriculture. 'I found that at 5000 feet elevation In the Deadwood Forest Reserve broadcast seeding on the last snows In the Springs Is a success. It Is out of the question to reforest the watersheds of the country with spades. There is too much to do. The work must be done In some whole- sale manner, and to this the Department is giving its earnest attention." I. H. AMOS HOME FROM NATION AL, CONVENTION. Declares Chafin and Watklns Equals of. Nominees of Two Big: Parties. Chafin Coming Here! I. H. . Amos. Oregon's sole representa tive at the recent National Prohibition Convention it Columbus, Ohio, arrived home yesterday and expresses entire sat isfaction with the choice of candidates made by that body. Eugene W. Chafin, of Chicago, Its candidate for President, Mr. Amos considers In every way quail fled to fill that high office, and believes he -.is the best all-around candidate ' the party haa ever nominated. Aaron 8. Watklns, of Ada. O., the candidate for Vice-President, Mr. Amos declares Is no leas able. Said, Mr. Amos: T" "These two candidates are quite as well qualified as those of either of the other parties. The lack of Interest in the con test between- Bryan and Taft has con tributed somewhat to the success of the prohibition' cause. More people are lining up with us than ever before, and it looks as though our vote would be increased heavily this year over any previous year. "The platform adopted by the Prohibi tion party is brief, but very much to the point. An unusual fact In connection with this platform is that the party be lieves in the thlrtgs that have been put Into it. Mr. Chafin Is a man of unusual powers. He possesses a magnetic and pleasing peronallty and is an eloquent and logical speaker. He Is easily the TRUNKS, SUITCASES AND BAGS AT A SACRIFICE Having bought the -Bankrupt Stock of the Pacific Coast Trunk & Bag Company, we are now offering these goods at extremely low prices.
