the fast time of 24 2-5 seconds.
Ralph Hose. In his first try with a
12-pound shot, broke the world's rec
ord with a put of 67 feet 8 2-5
inches.
The neglect of the commtttee in
charfre of the meet to provide pole
-vaulting and broad Jumping events
kept Gilbert and Kell yout of the
meet
In stature and build, as well as in
features. 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.

T MAY PROVE FATAL
GERMAN LABORER WOUNDED IX
SALOON BRAWL.
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.

PLANT1 TREES BROADCAST
Reforesting Cannot Be Done With
out Spade, Says Wilson.
WASHINGTON. Aug.' 29. 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."

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
