OREGON LUMBERMEN AND THE

of tha lumberman and shippers of this

i Tlin railroad company eatablUhed

on tho water rato of $5.00 per thou

i Coaat polnta to California, and was
maintained until the recent R;'n Fran-
claeo. dlaaaler temporarily advanced
i charter rate; which are now receding
I and In all probability within the next
alxty day will again bo normal; The
reaull of the Inauguration of thla rate
waa to etlmulato and encourage the
building of the numerous small mills
now In exlatencc.
On no other baals could they have
efcittled or uould the great lumber
bualnca of Central Oregon ever hnve
been developed. , This fact wa proved
(0 ,h aUl,facUon of tho rar0Bd com-
y threj ypar &g0 whon the rate
waa raised to $5.00 per tan for six
months, causing the greatest stagna
tion and genernl depression of business
ever witnessed In any portion of tho
state. Why again , Invite dlBnater7
Tho renly of tho Harrltnan line Is "Go
Fast with your product." This Is
largely a delusion, ns the majority of
tho t rattle will bear an advance. The
rate on lumber which permits ship
ment to California has been the di
rect means of adding thousands of
dollars to the wenlth of the state, and
the railroad company has been the
principal beneficiary by the increased
business and tho maintaining of ex
ceedingly high local tariffs. The com
pany was losing at "tho rate of half a
j million dollars per year when the fore
I sight of Mr. Mnrkham discovered a
i means of changing a large yearly de
ficit Into a dlvilend paying policy as
; shown by the company's own financial
I statement on fllo ln tho secretary of
i stato's office. Tho number of mills
tributary to the Southern Pacific Com
j pany's lines between Salem and Glen
i dale aggregate about one hundred and
fifty employing about 6,000 men, about
GO mills being In this vicinity. The
Southern Pacific company has com-
; plained bitterly of the advance In the
price of lumber for Its own use. For
years It purchased ties for $6.19 per
thousand foot and when the mills re
fused to cut their timber any longer
for less than cost the railroad com
pany, at the Instigation of the man-
ngement cnuspd three milla to be built
j and are planning a fourth In order to
further coerce the small mills to ac-
ceed to their wishes In the price of
i lumber. The timber the railroads are
, cutting waa placed ln their hands by
a genorous but too confiding govern-
ment In trust, to be sold to actual sot
, tiers at $2.50 per acre, to assist in the
development of the state. The com
i pany has not only botrayed their trust
ln not selling these lands In accord
ance with the terms of the grant, but
1 absolutely refuse to sell at any price,
thereby retarding the development of
j the state, but have become a compet
itor ngalnst the principal Industry thoy
fostered, and nurtured into life. If
the railroad company may lawfully
engage ln the lumber business against
Its patrons under undue advantage, It
can with eo.ua! propriety Invade every
other line of bualneaa along lti route.
The railroad company with cool, cal
culating deliberation, has Insisted In
raising the rate during the present
long period of car shortage leaving
tha unfortunate lumbermen with large
accumulated storks, canceled orders
and In many Instances a depleted cred
it.
A CONTINUOUS JOKE.
How Dell 8cully 8trted an Avslanchs
of Humor.
For practically 100 days that block
of Klevimth street, which lie between
Commercial and Bond streets, and has
th( distinction of running right In
fr';nt of TjoII Bcully's smokery, has
'"'n a condition to warrant the
quickest and fullest kind of repairs,
and has been barricaded by tho street
1 -ommlssloner aft against vehicle of
all sorts, but no attempt has been
made to put It In shape, or Is likely
to be made until the new charter
amendments come back from the Su
preme Court. The consequence Is the
street has become a source of fun
for the dwellers thereon, chief of whom
Is Scully.
Yesterday Scully posted a few ri
diculous signs on the barricades on
th street, and theso set the pace for
a very deluge of funny business, em
anatlng from all parts of the business
section. Kvery merchant and clerk
with an odd, fanciful, farslcal, satir
ical, ' scornful, humorous, pithy Idea
has put It In conspicuous black and
white and hung It on the much
abused thoroughfare and the display
Is drawing hundreds of amused visit
ors from all parts of the city.

The Fox Case It Is admitted now
that C. Roy Fox, the young man ln
Jail here, charged with murder, ln the
case of Blanche Day, does not want
a preliminary hearing ln the minor
court, and will stay ln durance until
the grand Jury, which will undoubt
edly be summoned in the circuit court
for February 18, shall pass upon the
merit of tho charge and find, or not
find, a true bill.

Informed a reporter of the Astorlan
that his people will be only too glad
to take an equal hand In the compil
ation, distribution and cost of a fold
er, ln which the Industrial advantages
of this city and county shall be duly
and fully exploited.
Mr. Mayor deprecated the idea of
advertising the city as a summer re
sort, and said he could not assist in
any venture of that kind; but as to
an Industrial exhibit, he was ready at
any time to take a hand, and he in
sisted that if this were done at all,
it must be done In a large, handsome,
thorough way, or not at all, since the
modern folder is a real creation, at
tractive, meaty and signifying some
thing, and not a mere medium to be
