The Interstate commerce com

rate on lumber from Willamette
Valley points to California from
$5 to $3.50 per thousand. This
applies to rough lumber, and
will mean a big differential for
the mills operating in this por
tion of Oregon. With the lower
rate divided, half to the ahipper
and half to the receiver, it should
warm up the saws. The rate
will be in effect May 1.

Saturday morning's Oregonian
had the following dispatch anent
the bill of Mr. Huston to regu
late community interest in prop
erty earned by man and wife.
after their marriage:
"SUte Capitol. Salem. Ore..
Feb. 12,-(SpeciaL)-Married
women in Oregon will continue
to have the same rights in their
husband's property that they
now have, but no more.
This fact was established by
the House this morning when it
defeated Representative Hus
ton bill providing that proper
ty acquired after marriage other
wise than by gift bequest devise
or descent shall be community
property."
The author of the measure
spoke earnestly in favor of it
He declared that it would confer
a right upon women that the
state long has neglected to give
them and pointed out that the
women of the state were behind
the bill
Do you mean to threaten us
with the loss of the women's
vote if we fail to pass it?" de
manded Dr. Andrew C Smith.
No, i am just telling you
what the women want explain
ed Mr. Huston, smilingly.
Representative Schubel led the
opposition. He insisted that the
present laws relating to the
property rights of women give
the women more advantage than
the Huston bill aimed to give
them. He said that the proposed
law would deny a woman any in
terest in the property of the men
at the time of marriage and that
be could sell it bequeath, it or
give it away without her con
sent He contended that the
present law places the man and
wife on a co-partnership basis, if
they elect to take advantage of
it
Miss Towne spoke briefly in
favor of the bill. She said that
it proposed a change that would
have to be made sooner or later,
anyway. Washington. Califor
nia and other states now have
similar laws, she pointed out
It seemed that every one was
in favor or doing what would
most benefit the women, but a
arge majority of members evi
dently thought the present law
provides the greatest benefit
M. Borden, of south of Reed-
ville. had a narrow escape from
death Saturday morning, at Keed
ville station, when the P. R &
N. train enroute for Tillamook,
passed through. Borden was
driving across the railway cross
ing, and as he has not the best
of hearing, the train struck his
vehicle amidships. Mr. Borden
was thrown out and suffered sev
eral contusions; his top buggy
was demolished; and the horse
had a leg broken, which neces
sitated its being shot 1 he bug
gy contained several pounds of
dynamite, and this was strewn
along the track. Mr. Borden is
getting along nicely but when
he thinks of that big lot of dy
namite which didn't explode, he
realizes that he had a narrow es
cape in more ways than-one.
The train was in charge or con

signals in passing through the
