COMBINE
The Franklin Associa
tion Born,
EMPLOYERS' UNlbN
Wilt Endeavor to Equalize Prices
But Not to Raise
Them.
As exclusively stated In Th Journal a
few Weeks ;o, tti Tinter of Portland
have formed a combination which has
been named the Franklin Association of
Portland. At a meeting last night tha
. following officers were elected: Presi
dent. W. E. Prudhomme; vice-president,
V. W. Baltes; secretary and treasurer.
George L. Peaslee. The board of d'rrc
t or includes the officers and Alvln 8.
Hawk; J.'R. Rogers, Edward James snd
Alfred Anderson.
When fcsked what significance the new
organisation had in view, Mr. W. E.
Prudhomme said to a Journal repjesant
ative: The primary object of the association
la hot to raise prices, a we are already
fretting about the same scale aa obtain
all vr the Pacific Coast, There is very
little variation In the prices in different
cities In the West We wish merely t
bring the master printers into close con
tact. If possible, and to discuss from time
to time the eauilisation of the prices now 1
asked.
, THE PROPOSED WAT.
"To IHnstrate what I mean, a mas will
omettme visit a down different print
ing office asking for figures on a small
Job. Now the larger shops Will generally
Quote exactly the same prloe, because
they hav the aetnal cost of every Job
very accurately figured out. Some of the
irfallet houses, however, when hrouirht
into Competition In thl way are com
pelled to do the work at a figure which,
If they realise It, means an actual loss
to them. We wish to protect these shops
.in some -manner so that they will not
chop the trade to pieces and at the 'same
time, will be able to compete on fair
terms with all other firms. Many of th
entailer printers think, and very reason
ably, that on some classes of work, they
should be allowed to name a closer, price
than a larger ormore prominent fum.
Ve do not Intend to Interfere in any way
with this privilege, except that lira gen
eral way, the association will erideavcr
to make. If possible, for those smaller
hops, in such eases as 1 mention, to ask
a fair price for their work."
NO RAISE IN PRICES.

RETAINED
Columbia May Get, New Engineers
Soon.
NO STRIKE ON OTHER VESSELS
Engineers Say They Want Other
Vessels to Come Here.
Thare are about 60 employes on the
steamship Columbia who have been ex
pecting to be discharged ever since the
engineers resigned their positions, but
up to noon today they were still in tbe
dark as to what decision the company
has reached in the matter. A load of
fresh supplies were put on the vessel this
morning and this led marty of the em
ployes to believe that they are to be re
tained until other engineers are secured.
The eiew of the Elder was paid off the
day following her tie-up, and that the
nu n on I he Columbia have been retained
this Ioi.k lends probability to the belief
in certain circles that the O. R. & N.
Co. Is cuing to make a determined effort
to get the Hteamrr out as quickly as
possible.
WILL NOT STRIKE.
One of the engineers who resigned his
position on the Columbia la authority for
the statement that the engineers On the
stara coasters Lakme, Dispatch and Al
liance will not walk out. It has been
i rsit-iently rumored for gome time that
they tire very likely to follow the lead
Nft 1,v (he englmcrs on the Elder and
Columbia, particularly If any freight is
carried by them which the O. R. A N-h.-tx
in en accustomed to handling. The
l.nkme has pome and gone since then,
Willi n full cargo, and the Despatch
.1. tiiiil todav for Snn Francisco. The
AlliiiM- will arrive Tuesdny. When
a:-kid a'-fiut this, the engineer In question
"Nothing would please us better than
to see other vessels come. In here from
San Francisco and take all the business
fiom the O. R. N. Co. I have no
official Information on the subject, but 1
am sure that the engineers, coming In on
vessels here, which are not identified with
the Interests of the O. R. & N- will not
give up their positions. It Is playing
right Into our hands when other steam
ship eompunUs eoiue in here and do bual
ivw. and they will not be interfered with
in the IohmI."

LAYING' OF RAILS.
I- f 51i,
. "STI0us opefatffls .connected with the
tearing op Of several bf 'Portland's streets
and the laying of tracks thereon attract
large crowds, yesterday there was quite
a congregation of j people at Third and
Washington street who were attracted by
a machine which literally sawed Its way
through a piece of track. Another opera
tion interesting to watch is the gravel
gringing machine. At one nd large pieces
of rook are put in which come out in
small bits at the other end.
Otlur machines which are very Interest
ing are the hole-boring -and nut-lightening.
It takes two men to work the hole
boring machine. The handling of rails
alse attract some "attention. The men
do .00 1 touch t lie tails With their hands,
but. get a hold wlh -big pinchers, one
mun holding one handle on one side of the
rail and another man holding the other
handle at the other side of the rail..
N. P. NEW SCHEDULE.
Notice received by Aftsfstant General
Passenger Agent A. D. Charlton, of the

The latter train at present -Mart at Ta

HOW COULD 'SHE TELL?
A rather good story is told at the ex
pense of Jack Daly by Special Officer

police station. Daty, before becoming a
member of the "force,' wa one of the
best known lightweight 'who ever step

SUPPLY
OF FUEL
How Portland" Warms
Its Feet.
WOOD, SLABS, COAL
Thdr Relative Cost Black Dia
monds Mined at Our
Doors
Just now there Is a general, goramble
for winter fuel. With the streets all torn
up by railroad Improvements and the
ldewalk blockaded with slab plies that
are sawed up to tove length, the city
has a ragged and Ungainly appearance.
In spit of the rather tlff price of tsord
wood, coal doe not make much headway
in this wooden city. Aa long as the saw
mills keep ripping off thousands of feet
of slabs every J4 hours coal will not cut
much of. a figure in this community,
especially the high-priced coal that has to
be shipped here from the State ot Wash
ington, near Seattle, or the , State of
Wyoming. r
To get at some of the fuel facts for The
Journal a reporter called at the office of
the Pacific Coast Company, on Washing
ton street. This Is a branch of the big
Seattle concern.
STRIKE DON'T AFFECT.
Curious to know whether the Penn
sylvania coalstrike had affected prices
here your reporter asked a clerk for the
Information. "Not at all." he said, "ex
cept blacksmiths' coal, which haa gone up
50 cents a ton. Tou see this coal Is mined
in Maryland and West Virginia, while all
our domestic coal comes from tbe State
of Washington and Wyoming."
The Newcastle nut coal sells for 5. BO,
while the lump brings $6.60. The Wyom
ing coal, mined at Kemmerer, comes a
little higher and commands in this mar
ket $8.50 a ton.
PRICES OF WOOD.
Having; got this tip on coal The Journal
man hied him to the office of a well
known wood firm. The secretary of the
company was busy at his phone taking
orders, but he hung up the mouthpiece
and courteously gave the news man five
minutes of 'his valuable time. And he
got down to business quick. "Fir sells for
$4.25 and oak and ash, $5.50. Fir 1 vseO
fo coaling, while oak and ash are the
best for furnaces and open grates. It
costs from 50 cents to $1 for splitting and
carrying It Into the house. This sliding
scale Is to cover knotty wood and then
the price clumps when the wood buyer
can run across a man who is hard up for
a job. v This don't happen often, as this
is a busy time of the year."
From another company it was learned
that you could get all the outer slabs you
wanted, and dry ones, at that, for $2.60
a cord. This accounts for the enormous
amount of ,thl kind of wood consumed
in this city -so much of H that Portland
is in great danger of being nicknamed
"Slabtown."
But the day of slabs will shortly pass
ajuay. As soon as the saw mills cut up
all the timber that can be rafted down
the river, Portland people will have to
look elsewhere for their fuel.
COAL RTGHT HERE.
But before the timber shows any sign
of giwlng out an enterprising company
of Portland capitalists is opening up a
coal mine Just outside of the city. Hard
to believe, but it is a fact. While The
Journal has mentioned this coal And 00
many former occasions the people are so
conservative that they will not believe
or heed tt. Wood is now so cheap that
coal does not sparkle. It Is not a diamond
yet. The coal Is at North Yamhill. 28
miles from the city as the crow flies, or it
is 39 miles by the- Southern Pacific tracks.
There are outcropping of' the coal meas
ures that can be traced for six miles.
The Portland Coal & Development Com
pany has secured 3000 acres of the best of
It.
SPENT MUCH MONEY.
This eompany has been continuously
developing the property for over a year
and spending a jitle of money. It has
driven two tunneta in on the coal meas
ure, each 600 feet. For the first 300 feet
the coal was slaty, in fact It was nearly
n.11 slate. But this did not discourage the
enterprising people backing TnrCHem.
They kept digging. Now they have five
feet of coal, with wedge-shaped intrusions
of slate that are gradually disappearing.
One of the best geologists in the ntatp
predicts that they will not have to drive
the tunnels much farther before the slate
disappears entirely. Thl looks reason
able, for the slate etratas were getting
smaller and smaller, with the coal veins
growing stronger and of better" finality
ever since they passed th 300-foot point.
When the slate peters out thl com
pany will have better than a gold mine.
MAT EXPORT COAL.
When this comes th whole -city of
Portland will be the gainer. Instead Of
shipping Its coal from Seattle it will be
mining It Just outside of the city. The
coal mines are within three miles of the
Southern Pacific Railway and the man
ager has already given assurances that
Jlis company stands ready to put In a
spur to the mine as soon as the company
is ready to ship. Won't that look good.
Solid trains of Oregon coal from the Port
land mines owned by Portland people
coming into Portland. Then the balance
.of the coal trade will be In our favor. In

das of person, who take what they see,
do matter ir there 1 a plat glass In the

ye ot a night watchman, a daring rob
bery wa committed In tha store of I.
Oeverts & Son, at th northwest corner
of First and ' Yamhill street. ,
It teems that a showcase filled with
gold watches was placed behind the plat
glas window on th First-street side, for
display. The burglar evidently thought
it wa for hla benefit, for after cutting. a
bole in the plate glass big enough to let
his arm through, he heaved a half-pound
stone through the window and how-case
glaaa and then hslped himself. The burg
lary wa discovered by Mr. Gevert at 7
o'clock this morning. Detective Kerrigan
wa called and is now working on tbe
caso.
