Ice Cream Sherbets Candi les GOOD GOODS Twelfth St. Phone 931 Th Chamber of Commerce ha aecured a tatciiicnt from Vh-e-President and General Manager It 1'. Schwerln, of the San FrancUco and Portland 8Uamhlp CVnnpany, wheruby Portland awl Astoria will be on the lamo footing a regard the Item of marine Insurance, l'pecially alnce the dentruotion of the teamaliip Columbia there hu been moro than uauul dUwatinfuction among Aatorla merohant becaue the cargoes lliey bad en route from San Jrandnco were total low, wberea the cargoe en route on thU teamhlp from Kan rraiicUco to Portland were being payed fop In full by thi irtdimnhlp company. Jlic following ri'volutlon wa paued by the CliatnlxT of Commerce at the meeting held Monday night, Auguat 19: "Whore, the Sa FraucUco & Port land Stcaiiulilp Company i now and ha for a long time been dicrlmiruiting agaiimt Atoria hlpper in that chip lr from Portland have their cargoes intured by aid tiaiii"liip company, while thoc from Antorla are not thu cared for, therefore, be It reaolved, that ic,iicti'd to place Atoria on the ame liquated to pla Antorin on the me footing with I'ortltnd; and that if thi reuet I not g run Led by aaid general manager, that relief be (ought through the Oregon State ltailroad Coimniion and tlie Interstate Commerce Com! lion" (iencral Manager 8chcrlu ha replied to the letter containing thi resolution and ha promiMsl to place Aatoria on Urn itame footing aa Portland after January lt. lie will do thla by discon tinning the inuranc of Portland ear- gH' and not bv Insurance of Antoria enrgw. While it would have U-en more agreei.ble to AtrU to have had a recti nVathm of this grievance made by injur ing Alori cargoe the same a Port hind cargoe were Insured, yet it i better for the commercial Interest of Astoria that thi port be put on the me footing with Portland in the way Mr. ScliMcrin ha promiM-d, than that of the old way which make a discrimina tion against Astoria and in favor of Portland. Vice-President and General Manager Schwerin under date of September 20th ha written to Manager Whyte of the Chamber of Commerce a follow; "I regret very much that your letter to me bearing no date but embodying the resolution of the Chamber of Com merce of Ati ia pa-ed on Monday night, August 10th, and received by me oit August 24th and transmitted from Uii ollice to our attorneys, Jtcssr. Knight, and Ib'ggcrty, on August 27th should have lain dormant in their office until Septcmbr 2.1th. I write this letter o that there may lie no im-undcrstand ing that there was any intention to act in the slightest degree discourteous to your Chainlicr of Commerce, and I must apologue for the lapse of our nttor ney. '"In regard to the issue which you have raicd setting forth tluit you consider it a discrimination between the ports of Portland and Astoria in view of the fact thut cargoes destined to Portland nnd point lieyond is covered by ithe open policy of the San Francisco 4 Portland Steamship Company and that destined to Astoria is not so covered, I have to advise you we do not consider any such discrimination take place. "Shipments to and from Astoria are regular murine risks and such shippers as customary, cover th nwrinc insurance uiKin their cargoes; shipment to Port land nnd points beyond have been con sidercd in the past as railroad risk and therefore the steamship company applied what might be considered a railroad ex pene bill on shipments to and from Portland or points to and from beyond Portland. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company ha never- assumed a marine risk on any gooda destined to op from Taoonut and Seattle but only to and from pointa beyond Tacoma and Seatle I know- of no other steamship company that provide thi class of insurance ex cent the San Francisco & Portland Com 4nny but I may say tluit on fhe 1st of January, 1908, this company will with draw the underwriting on any cargoes on its steamer except to points that are purely railroad connections of the steamship company; in other words, on wilwt might be considered inter-line freight."

After arriving hore he engaged rooms and started for the postoftlce but found tlie window closed. He next found himself in the -mliKin wherein he became acquainted with Wilberg. lie spent some money there and remained until about 2:30.

Everything waa gone and he complained to the landlord who, after lie had told hia story, ordered him to move.

During the cross-examination he admitted that when he reached Astoria be bad a dif ferent suit of clothes on to that worn by him when in Portland, but did not know where he got It. "Is it not a faot," asked Fulton, "that you had the bank book 15 minutes be fore your arrestt" "I did not," answered the witness. Fulton asked him that if it was shown that he had changed a $100 bill at the Waldorf would it not prove that he waa I want to talk with YOU 17 YOU HAVE ALREADY ATTENDED MY BIG SALE; YOU KNOW THE MERITS 07 IT AND Y0UXL COME IN AGAIN BEFORE ITS OYER, 702 MORE 07 THOSE BARGAINS.
