Harriman I'll bet a railroad that I can whenever he Lumbermen Meet in Portland and Talk Rates. PUT SOME OUT OF BUSINESS If Railroad Puts Rates Into Effect it Will Close up Some, of the Mills and Camps and Will Tak 15,000,000 Out of the Lumber Interests' Pockets. 'PORTLAND, August 3.-At the meet ing of the Oregon Lumbermen's Asso ciation held here today it was deter mined to light the proposed . increased railroad freight rate on lumber to ills sissippj Valley point. A fund will be niisetl by a-sessing mill $10 dor each 1000 feet of a run of ten hours. Presi dent Philip Buehner of the Oregon and Washington Lumlwr Manufacturers' As sociation said that the proposed rate would increase the cost of delivery at Denver .l a thousand and $0 a thou sand at Chicago. Figuring an average increase in freight rates a! 2 a thousand it wag shown that an enforcement by the railroads of the proposed new rates would in the course of year exact an additional toll of $5,000,000 on lumber shipments from tho Pacific Northwest. Here in Portland they are somewhat better off than the up-state lumber men. About onethird of the pivduct of the local mills is ued here in Port land or shipped by steamer down the coast or to the orient. But by curtail ing our output two-thirds, it means a great loss to Portland. All the mills could not afford to operats ifor this trade, and if they did attempt to run, it would be with great reduced crews. By the closing of scores of interior mills and the reducing of the output of the great Portland plants, workmen and merchants throughout the entire state would suffer. Few logs would be needed, so many timber camps would sliut down; this would also mean that leg steam boats would be needed for towingr Tliero are about 2o0 members of the Oregon Lumber Manufacturers' Associa tion, and Secretary A. B. Waspcll has invited all of them to be present at to day's meeting, which will be held in the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon. It Is expected the meeting will be largely attended, as the question to be discussed is a matter of business life and death with the lumber' manufacturers. HAYWOOD NOW IN DENVER.

Judge Kena- saw M. Landis today in the United State district court fined the Standard Oil Company of Indiana $2!) ,240,000 for the violations of the law against ac cepting rebates from the railroads.

The penalty imposed is the maximum permitted un der the law and it was announced at the end in a long opinion in which the methods and practices of the Standard Oil were mercilessly scored. The Judge in fact declared his opinion that the officials of the Standarvl Oil Company who were responsible for the practices of which the corporation was found guilty were no better than counterfeit ers and thieves, his exmct language be ing: e may as well look at this situa tion squarely.

With the Demand to Move the Crops There Will Be Caution in Speculative Ventures, NEW YORK, August 3. The stock market this week has moved under the restraint of the mixed factor in the situation. Interest centered on the quarterly report of the United States Steel Corporation, but its showing of record net earnings of the quarter was of less influence than the accompanying statement that new orders of the corpo ration for July had fallen 25 to 30 per cent below these received In July 01 last year The rise in money rates in New York was all that obviated the ex tension of the export of gold to France, which was commenced early in the week.
