WILL NOT HURT BUSINESS Raise Does Xot Affect All Classes, and Cannot Be Larjce, Because of Water Competition, Saya Traffic Manager. That the advance In transcontinental freight rates, effective January 1. Is merely nominal an.l Is not sufficient to cause any drawback to business. Is the statement of R- B. Miller, head of the traffic department of the Harrimnn lines in the Pacific Northwest. He maintains that statements made to the effect that the advance will cost the roast Interests several million dollars Is grosslv misleading-. Mr Miller conttnds that owing to water competition to the Coast from the Atlantic seaboard the railroads cannot obtain a fair compensation tor the haul across th- continent. V Itn the new rates, he declaras, the ff'tu"' fur the service performed will not be adequate. I.ut the object of the rail roads Is said to be to line up the tariffs and make them more nearly fair to the carriers than the existing schedules. "There will be some changes In the rates from the East to all Pacific Coast terminals." said Mr. Miller. There will be advances In some classes, but there Is to be no general advance, Competition will not permit et any radical changes. This Is caused particularly by reason of the move ment of traffic from the Atlantic sea board and from tho interior as far west as Chicago via the Atlantic seaboard In connection with water carriers by the Isthmus of Panama and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. That competition con trols the rates and fixes the maxi mum that the overlund lines are able to obtain. "But there are Instances where in the opinion of the transcontinental roads the present rates are not only unduly low, but lower than conditions Justify, and It Is with a view to lining up the tariffs in this respect that the changes above referred to are made. Not all the rates will be changed. The advances affect only a limited number of commodities and only to a limited degree. The advances will be such as not In any wny to Impair business or even affect It. ringing in some In stances 5 cents and In some 10 cents per 100 pounds. There may be some few cases where the advance is more than that, but they are too small to cut any figure whatever. "The carriers certainly have no desire to Impair business. Their own selfish Interests would dictate otherwise, and. besides, the fixing of rates on trans continental traffic is not entirely In their control on account of sea car riage mentioned. It Is this carriage bv sea from tho Atlantic seaboard either via the Magellen. Tehuantepec or Panama route that influences the very low rates to the Pacific Coast and makes them lower than rates to Interior points not subjert to the same compe tition In the same degree, and this fact will probably always Influence such an adjustment If the rnil carriers can con tinue in business profitably at Pacific Coast ports. "It Is to the interest of the rail to secure as much of the busi ness at the Pacific Coast ports as they can In competition with vessels for the reason that eastbound tonnage Is muc h in excess of westbound, and If westbound loads are not secured for the Pacific Coast It will necessitate hauling empty cars westbound In or der to take care of the excess tonnage eastbound. The hauling of empty cars west to take care of the eastbound ton nage Is done at considerable expense, and naturally it is to the interest of the rail carriers to load them to the great- est extent. i ma l " 1 ' 1 1 1 -' - ' - -pushed by making rates from time to time as will nieei com priim-ii uj HOME WANTS MORE MONEY ladles' Relief Society Makes Appeal for Funds. PORTLAND. Nov. 21. (To the Editor.) Pursuant to a time-honored custom, the managers of the Ijcdles- Relief Society make their annual appeal to the charitable and ever-generous public, asking -them to remember the Children's Home In the distribution of their Thanksgiving dona tions, and to remind the housekeeper as well as the merchant that our storeroom of fruit and Jelly is about empty. The amount we can use Is enormous, as we have nearly 80 children under our care, many of them entirely dependent upon thte society for maintenance. Our aim Is not to turn a deaf ear to the cry of the really destitute and un fortunate, but to render such aid as the children need, until their parents are again able to assume the responsibility. The society desires to open a kinder garten In the home for the small chil dren, too young to attend the public school, and to enable us to do so suc cessfully we shall need aid from the friends of the Institution. There will be a "Thanksgiving Tea" at the home. fST Corbett street, on Tuejdny, No vember J4. from 2:30 to 5 P. M. It Is hoped that many will avail themselves of this opportunity to visit the home and see for themselves the care taken of the little ones. There will be no charge for admission, but free-will gifts will be appreciated. Home-made candy will be for sale. No doubt there are many strangers In "our midst, lonely for loved ones In the old home. To them we feel assured that the slg!it of the rosy-cheeked, healthy, happy children will he a pleas ant one. and will help to lighten their " loneliness, and remind them of the happy Thanksgiving times at home. We cordially Invite all to come to the tea and assure them that they will be most welcome. ANNA M. MANN.

Modern Stone Block Pavement Portland Enterprise Superior In Every Way. A petition Is being circulated by an agent for the Denny Renton brick, of Seattle, amongst the property-holders In the district bounded by Twelfth to Nineteenth and from Hoyt to Thurman streets, asking that this brick be used In the pavement of these streets. The Seattle Times, November 13. pub lished a lengthy article, showing that the company was having trouble with its contracts in Seattle. The inspectors reported that the brick were not fit for street gutters and culled out 60 per cent of the brick delivered. Inspectors of the city reported that "0 per cent of the brick was not fit for street work. The company has been slow In making delivery and in the meantime the nroperty-owners have become rest less and aggravated. if the Seattle company secures this Portland contract. will they ship us these Seattle culls or else how will they be able to supply the brick? Under conditions as chey exist at present, according to the arti cle published In the Seattle paper, the Portland people might expect their pavement finished in about ten years. Why in the name of common sense, not to mention loyalty to Portland, should property-owners of this city consider a brick made In Seattle, which Is guaranteed by the city for only seven years, when Modern Stone Block Pave ment Is guaranteed by the city for 20 vears and is superior In every way to the Seattle brick. The truth of this statement cannot be gainsaid. From 75 to 100 men are employed In the auarles at St. Helens supplying the de mand for Modern Stone Block Pave ment, aulte a pay roll In itself. The only Modern Stone Block Pave ment In Portland Is on Front street, from Burnslde to Clay. Seventh street, from Burnslde to Glisan. Is not, neither In material nor construction. Modern Stone Block Pavement will last three times as long as the Seattle brick, requires no maintenance bond, does not disintegrate and is not rough or noisy when properly laid. It Is a home enterprise, and the money re mains In Oregon. Why should we go to Seattle for a pavement when we have better at home Why? HARRY HOWARD. ARRESTED FOR HOTEL BILL Albany Man Avoids Trouble by Promise to Pay. J. H. O'Brien, who has long been part owner of the Albuny Herald, got out of trouble yesterday morning In the Municipal Court by promising to pay up his bill at the Scott Hotel. He was arrested several days ago on a charge of attempting to defraud an Innkeeper. "I've sold my Interest In the Albany Herald and as soon as I receive pay ment on It I'll be able to meet all bills." he said. Giving him several days In which to square his boardbill rather than force prosecution of the case, the authorities were rewarded yesterday, when O'Brien showed up at the office of Municipal Clerk Mllner. He had three 15 gold pieces In his hand and said he was willing and ready to pay up. He was told to make his settlement with the hotel direct, nnd that upon his doing so the charge against him would likely be dropped. The Albsny newspaper proprietor seemed quit? indignant at the trouble that he had been put to. He said that after selling his tnterest In the Albany Herald he came here with his wife and registered at the Scott Hotel. His money not arriving Just when he expected it. he was placed in rather an embarrass ing position, espeoially when the hotel people demanded an immediate settle ment. It was at this stage of the dif ficulty that he departed from the hotel without leaving hi new address. Con cluding that they had been victimized, the hotel people at once caused OBtlen's arrest. The case remains on the Municipal Court docket. It has been continued from day y-ciay. in order to give him a chance to pay. He left his baggage at the hotel, which fact would seem to Indicate he Intended reappearing at the hotel some day. Now that he has paid his board it Is likely the case will be dismissed at the next session of court. ANNOUNCEMENTS. F. E. Beach Co.. Pioneer Paint Co. 135 First st. Phones Main 1334, A 1344. D.

ADDISON BENNETT, editor of The Dalles Optimist, and fabricator of the delicious "Rabbltville" happenings, that thousands have laughed over, met with one of the moat severe disap pointments of his sunny 62 years yes terday. Mr. Bennett had been raising a priie turkey gohbler at The Dalles, and the grand old bird was to form the piece de resistance of a luncheon ha was to give at noon yesterday to a number of Postmasters assembled in convention at the Commercial Club. The fowl had been fattened carefully by Mr.Bennett, and was in Its prime. It promised a delicious meal for the creator of Rabbltville and his friends. But there's many a slip. Alas for human hopes! Wednesday night some vandal stole the turkey. Mr. Bennett was disconsolate. He called down all kinds of curses on the head of the thief and swore 57 different varieties of vengeance. He had to make good on the lunch eon, but It was not a fat, juicy. Wasco turkey that graced the festal board. Plain roast beef and trimmings took the place of the fowl. Instead of carv ing the prize bird and telling how he grew such an enormous, fat and Juicy turkey, it fell to "Rabbltville" Ben nett's lot to pass the roast beef. As he handed out the plates his usuai quip and Jest were lacking. His hand trembled. His voice faltered. Once he thoughtlessly asked a. guest if he pre ferred white or dark meat, and" when he noticed his mistake, a tear crept Into his eye. ' "Will you have some stufTingr he asked another with an absent-minded air. as the ladle hovered over the gravy dish. Somebody laughed a mirthless, jarring cachinatlon. and the saddened host looked deeply grieved "Don't gobble that way," he warned his guest. "What became of the turkeyr some one asked Mr. Bennett as he met him after the luncheon. . "Some" (wholly unprintable here) "stole It," was the sharp reply. FREE SERVICE TO SEATTLE And Other Points.
