Wilcox. of " the Portland Flouring; Mills Co.. was seen this morning by a Journal representative regarding & currant rumor that a trust is being formed of all the big flouring: Interest of tha Faelflo Coast. The rumor W that a corporation la- be Ins formed with a capital stock of $20,000,000. and that It 111 absorb all the extensive flouring: In terests of Oregon, Washington and Cali fornia. The prima movers in this affair are said to be Mf Wilcox, Mr. Thorasen, of the Centennial Mills, of Seattle, and William Thomas of this city. When asked to say something about the matter by The Journal' reporter, Mr. Wilcox answered that he had nothing to say. "Do you confirm or deny the rumor?" was the next question asked htm. MI "neither confirm nor deny," was the answer. "Is It a fact that such a movement Is contemplated or has It already begun?" -I cannot say, besides I do not see why anyone desires to know about It. If any thing of such a nature should come up. it la In connection with my business, and my business Is Just as private as that of anyone else. During my absence there have been all kinds of statements In tht papers as to the purpose of my trip. I went simply on business, so why should much be made of It?" "Will you speak for publication when "jour plans are consummated?" was the next question. "I'll tell you what I will do. When I have anything to say, 1 will let you know. Meanwhile I would not like to have any- .

GRAY SAYS HE USES IT Claims Portland Has Won Much Trade Fioai San Francisco. Capt. John P. Gray, who operates the Gray steamship line between San jFran cisco and Portland, is at the Hotel Portland on his way to Seattle. Capt. Gray is- goiog do- Pug et Sound to m4 the steamer Nome City, which -he owns, and which is expected to arrive from Alaska in a few days. "We are. going to take the Alliance oft the run for a few weeks in January next," said Capt. Gray, "and will then equip her with oil burners. 1 nave al ready let a contract for the installation of slnsilar burners on the steamships Ful ton and Prentiss. The Dispatch, another vessel of our line. Is already equipped as an oil-burner and the change has proved very satisfactory. The Fulton and Prentiss will burn only oil after De cember 1. "The change on the Alliance will save us much money, and will enable us to give a better service,' although I do )ioi anticipate that the schedule will be al tered for the epresent. COOS BAT TRADE. "And In this connection I want to make a statement In regard to the Coos Bay trade. 1 have noticed recently a. num ber of interviews with people from this section of the country complaining of an Inadequate steamer service. Now, as a matter of fact, w have tried the experi ment of putting on an extfa bovt to ac commodate this trade, but there Was no sufficient business, to enable us to keep it on. I have a steamer coming Into Seattle in a few days that 1 would gladly put on this run, but I do not see how it is possible to do it. If the mer chants there will guarantee me a day I will put on another boat within a week." , ,::Hw Ja. tha, trade . JScuntry.ai vlded between San Francisco and Port land?" PORTLAND GETS HBR SHARE. "Portland Is now getting about half of the Coos Bay trade, although San Francisco has most of the Eureka busi ness. We make exactly the same rate between Portland and these points &s Is charged from San Francisco, so the mer chants of both cities have an even chance to get the business. The big strike in the California city was a great benefit to Portland. Before that time the 'Frisco merchants had nearly all the trade, but when It became impossible to ship goods from that point they were forced to turn to Portland. Since that time the trade has been about evenly divided." Capt. Gray expressed bis belief that the difficulties existing between the O. R. & N. Co. and the marine engineers would be 'set'tred shortly;' a'U'hougf'fte give'no' '.1U. grounds for his opinion. THEY. BOTH WON. The Bentley Construction Company case Is ended at last. After being out since last Wednesday the Jury brought in a verdict Jate yesterday afternoon awarding the construction company the sum of $2, 884.44. In the counter suit brought by Miles C. Moore, assignee of the Portland Granite & Stone Company, he was awarded the sum of 13,318.51 with Interest amounting to $563.61, making a total of $3,879.12. The Bentley Construction Company must pay the Portland Oranlte 4e Stone Company the sum of $1.19.68 to settle the affair, this amount being the differ ence in the two verdicts.

SAYS ORDINANCE IS UNFAIR. Barney Courtney was fined the lowest sum of $25 for keeping his saloon open after hours yesterday. In imposing the fine Judge Hogue stated that he was not wholly satisfied as to the wisdom of the ordinance. He was of the opinion that If a man paid a license for, running a saloon that the restrictions put on his business by the ordinance did not appear fair. But as the law was in force, and It was the intention of the administration to enforce it, there was nothing else to do but make the fine the lowest. STOLE HIS OWN DOG.
