Lumber manufacturers of the Wil
lamette valley will bring suit in the
United States court to enjoin the
transcontinental lines from putting
Into effect the now freight rato
schedules just filed at Washington.
In these schedules there has been
made by the railroad traffic chiefs
a singular blunder that will, it Is
said, prove to bo the salvation of
Willamette valley lumber mills, as
it will afford ground for proving the
now freight schedules to be illegal
discrimination. The schedules Im
pose a different rate upon mills at
the same point of location.
Owing to conflicting statements
published, the figures have been
somowhat confused. A lumberman
who has made a study of the rates
explained that the increase amounts
to an additional burden of $1.05 per
1,000 feet to he borne by the Wil
lamette valley lumber manufacturer
who shins lumber to Salt Lake and
1 Denver territory, and double that
' iolnnnnf nn oVlilimpnta lip TYinUpff to
Missouri river territory. One of the
4iecullar results of the new rato
Yiedule Invented by the Chicago
Ufflc mechanics Is that Portland
ills on the west bank of the Wil-
- mette river must pay the advanced
to while the mills on the east bank
cape the tax. Thus the Portland
imber company, already hard
pushed by the car shortage, are hit
y the increased freight rate, while
'the Inman-Poulson mill and the East
Side Lumber mill may ship under
the old rate.
Strange Discrimination.
i! This singular discrimination, while
ichargeablo to the local freight traffic
"pials of the Harriman lines, is
, to have been actually committed
Jie eastern offices higher, up, and
hrently through ignorance of ex
ag conditions In tho valley. Had
freight chiefs known of tho loca
I of the mills in question they
ild have been wise enough to
old a violation of tho common
'"rules of fairness to shippers at one
polrih. While the whole increase is
manifestly unjust and ruinous to the
valley mills south of Portland juris
diction, the rate makers would have
been careful to avoid open violation
of the law against discrimination in
freight rates. -
It tho new freight rato schedules
just filed at Washington by transcon
tinental roads go Into effect, lum
ber mills In tho Willamette valley
will go out of business or pay 5 cents
in,creaso per 100 pounds on shipments
irito Salt Lake territory, their nearest
pastern trade field. This Increase,
fhmounting to the sweeping advance
fbf $1.GB on 1,000 feet of lumber, Is
"claimed to have been mauo unnnowu

Change Former Plans.
It was the understanding between
local freight officials and the lum-
bermen that the Salt Lake rate would
remain the same as It was following
tho closing of tho Ogden gateway two
or three years ago. Prior to the
merging of the Southern Pacific and
the Union Pacific traffic departments
in the Pacific northwest, the Wil
lamette valley lumbermen had an
outlet for eastern shipments via Sac
ramento and the Og'den gateway,
and were able to get tho Union Pa
cific rate,, and a considerable num
ber of cars, from the -Southern Pa
cific route. The Harriman merger
and resultant closing of the Ogden
gateway was followed by a rule rout
ing all Willamette valley tonnage via
Portland and east over the Union
Pacific, as it was claimed by the
railroad officials that the haul over
the Slskiyous and via Sacramento to
the east was too expensive to bo fur
ther considered as a transcontinental
routing for Willamette valjey pro
ducts. When this routing wont into
effect the valley lumber "mills had
the same rate over the Southern Pa
cific to the east that prevailed from
Portland over the union racmc sya
tera to the same eastern territory.
Tho railroads tacitly agreed to con
tinue this equality of rates, and it
has been so continued on east bound
shipments until the present time, al
though tho rate on valley timber
south of Portland to California has
heen boosted from $5 to $8.25 per
1,000 feet, practically cutting valley
mills off from tho California market.
Valley 31111s Hit.
While the valley mills are getting
the worst of the deal all around,
the northbound rates have been left
undisturbed for tho benefit of San
Francisco wholesalers In all lines,
and they are still shipping goods to
Ashland and Portland at Identical
rates. It was claimed by railroad
people at tho time of tho rate. In
crease on valley lumber shipments
to San Francisco that the advance
as he heard he had been reC'
ORiilzed. SIinpkiiiK was a pal of
Marry Orchard, who wns the

The state wanted Sluipkins to
give eorroherative evidence. A
big reward is offered for his
capture.
was made because of tho high
steamer rates from Portland, which
had worked an injustice to Portland
lumber mills. Today the charter
lates have receded to their normal
figure of $4.50 to $5.50, and Port
land lumber mills arq shipping their
product by water to San Francisco
and bay points at one-third the rate
they paid for some months following
the San Francisco disaster. The val
ley mills are thus left with a high
freight rate on their hands for Cali
fornia business, and are confronted
with a prohibitory rato on eastern
shipments, and in addition they are
engaged In a death struggle with the
car shortage. Under the circum
stances they welcome tho opportunity
that has arisen to throw the new
schedules Into tho United States
court and stop them by Injunction.
COMMISSION FIGURING
ON BUYING DREDGES
The sub-commltto of the Port of
Coos Bay Commission, consisting of
James Flanagan, H. C. Dlers and
Henry Sengstacken held a meeting
yesterday and discussed the matter
of purchasing a dredge. There will
be a company organized for purchas
ing the dredge which will proceed
with the work as soon t as It
can be purchased and brought to the
Bay. Afterwards, if the people of
the Bay district wish to take it over,
the company will sell It and tho com
mission will have charge of the work.
The present plan Is to obtain In
formation about a combination buck
et and suction dredge at Portland,
of a 2,000 yards capacity, which has
been In operation for one year. This
'dredge is not of sufficient capacity,
but It can be re-arranged and en
larged to a capacity of between four
arid six thousand yards, which would
fill the requirements. Captain
Pohlemus.has been asked to investi
gate the matter for the committee
and he will likely have his -report
here soon. Tho cost of tho dredge
In mind will bo about forty-five
thousand dollars, completo with the
larger capacity. It is now planned to
at first dredge a good ship channel
from North Bend to the U. a. smiui
mill on Isthmus Inlet with a depth
of twenty feet at low water. Such
an undertaking will require the re
moval of somewhere around one
million yards of earth.

ASSETS NEAR FOUR BILLION
Hichest Corporation on Kartli. In
vestigation Shows Surprising
Increases in Value.
New York, Sept. 19. Delving Into
the financial working of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey, the hold
ing company of all subsidiary corpo
rations of the so-called oil trusts,
Frank B. Kellogg, conducting the
federal suit for dissolution of the
company, brought to public view to
day for tho first time the enormous
profits made by that company In
eight years, from 1809 to 19 0G, in
clusive. The Standard Oil company
by a statement spread upon the rec
ords today, had earned profits of
$490,315,934, or at tho rate of more
than $01,000,000 per year, it dis
tributed to its shareholders in the
same period $308,359,403.
While the company was earning
these vast sums, the statement shows
that tho assets of the company grew
from $200,000,000 to over $3,715,
000,000. The capital stock is $98,
338,392. The hearing today brought
out much Information showing that
the Standard of New Jersey controls
over 70 companies engaged In refin
ing and transportation by pipe line
of oil. The Standard has always
carefully guarded the list of Its sub
sidiary companies and the amount
of Its shareholders. The list showed
tho Standard of New, Jersey owned
99,000 shares of the capital stock of
the Standard of Indiana which was
recently fined $29,000,000 for re
bating. Clarence Fay, assistant comptrol
ler for the Standard Oil company,
was the final witness of the day.
Fay, like his predecessors, was un
able to give the government Inquisit
ors the Information desired, which
caused Kellogg to remark he thought
It strange 'none of the Standard Oil
officials seemed to know where the
records of the liquidating trustees
could be found.
SIMPSON SENDS HORSES

Short Time.
It
Canvon City. Ore., Sept. 19.-
Clarence Flood, the 12-year-old son
of Rev. and Mrs. Henry Flood, died
at his parents' homo near Hamilton
last Monday morning, from the ef
fects of a dose of strychnine given
him by mistake, the parents suppos
ing they were giving tne cnno. qui
nine. Tho boy was taken suddenly ill
about 5 o'clock Monday morning anil
died In a very short time after tho
fatal drug was taken.
As soon as possible after tho boy s
death Dr. Stewart and J. A. Steach,
Justice of the Peace wero summoned
and a coroner's inquest was held, tho
verdict being that death was caused
by poison being given by mistake.
Dr. Stewart found that both strych
nine and quinine were in the same
bottle from which the supposed medi
cine was taken, and also found
strychnlno in tho boy's stomach.
How tho strychnine came in tho qui
nine is a mystery to tho distracted
parents.

Mr. Desmond, who was booked for
an. address, was called to his home
In California, but goes to return

REPORTS SUGGEST ELK
NEED PROTECTION
Fj-om reports thus far received, It
Is evident that tho elk hunting Is no
sport, as tho animals aro very tame,
and the hunters say killing them is
moro liko murder thnn anything clso.
One hunter who has just como In
from a trip says ho killed an elk but
ho would never look for another one
with intention of slaughtering it.
Tho same reports come from Curry
county, where it is sam, uioy aro
hanging about the farms In several
vicinities. It is moro than probable
the next legislature will wako up and
pass a law forever forbidding tho
slaughter of this fine game, but it
will then bo too lato, as there will bo
few left by that tlmo In Oregon.
LOGGERS CUT
PRICES SHARPLY
Depression in Lumber Market
Causes Lowering
of 1 tales.
Seattle. Sept. 19. Tho Washlng-
ton Logging and Brokerago company,
lch controla th0 jogging output
on Puget Sound, has reduced prices
on flooring and merchantable logs
$2 per thousand, and on No. 2, $2.50
a thousand. This makes tho aver
age prlco for all classes or logs $iu u
thousand on Puget Sound. Tho new
prices, which become effective at
once, aro tho lowest in a year.
Tho reduction was forced by cuts
made In British Columbia, tho Gray's
Harbor and Columbia districts. Tho
effect of tho reduction in loggers'
prices to tho mills will bo a cut In
lumber. Tho lumber market has
gono off badly and the logging mark
to Is threatened with demoralization.

LOCAL TALENT
Plans on Foot for Adding to Fund
Muslcale and Heading
First.
Last winter tho Library Associa
tion, after a hard struggle to estab
llsn a free library in Marshfield,
went to sleep expecting to awake
only when tho sounds of activity
should indicate that the spirit of
Progress was awake, too. At that
time it looked as if Hip Van Winkle,
who had just emerged from a twenty
year sleep would again fall Into an
other spell of slumber. It was sur
prising how easily everything wont
to sleep from sheer habit and how
soundly it slept. Hotels which stood
in high places, locomotives which
sped on twin city traces, great fac
tories and beautiful paved streets all
went to sleep with tho library. Un
expectedly and magnificently came
the Smith mill. Then tho deafening
noise of many pile drivers filled tho
air with the prophecies of great
buildings. Then the hotel woke up
and decided to rise and people
rubbed their drowsy eyes and saw
that they lived in a world of apples
and a land flowing with milk and
money. Everybody Is wide awako
now and so yesterday the Library
Ascociation decided to wake up, too.
The members of tho committee
having in chargo tho work of es
tablishing n creditable public li
brary in Marshfield met and dis
cussed ways and means. Thoy con
cluded to commence an active cam
paign for tho purpose of gotttlng tho
necessary funds wherewith to pro
vide free and healthy reading for
the public. They will rely for their
success on tho growing public spirit
of Marshfield and tho factj that tho
purpose thoy have In vlow Is ono of
merit. Their present plan Is to In
vito tho co-operation of 'all who be
lieve In a public library for Marsh
field In the effort to contribute their
activities and talents to an enter
tainment or a series of entertain
ments to bo given during tho winter
for the purpose of obtaining m'onoyi
to bo added to tho fund already sub- V
scribed by citizens. The amount sub-
scribed is $1500 and it Ib believed
that with the new spirit of progress
which has come to Marshfield, It will
bo posslblo to add other subscriptions
and to also make tho entertainments
a great success financially. The first
entertainment to bo given in this
line is to bo a combined reading and
muslcale, and thoy aro fortunate In
having secured exceptionally good
talent for the reading and hope to
enlist somo of tho flno musical tal
ent known to bo In tho city to aid.
It Is believed tho ontortalnmont can
be mado an event In an Intellectual
way and that all citizens of Marsh
field who have any Interest In pro
gress at all will help by seeing that
the tickets aro sold. The program
and names of those who aro to take
part will bo published later.
