"'I ' I' Finon Lumber Trust Is Slaking Much Honey y Hfch Prices Drive Consumers to ' , Make Purchases fa Washington Portland needs many more sawmill. This teems to tie tho only solution of a problem which la exasperating every .builder, contractor and lumbar user In the city, and which ' hat driven many consumers to purchase lumber In the Bute ot Washington. Immediately after the strike of last Spring bad been settled the local mills entered a combination known as the City Retail Lumber Company. This as sociation opened an office in tbe Concord Building, and all orders must be taken at this offloe from which they are. dis tributed among the various mills In ac cordance with the signed agreement About too first act ot the Luober Trust, as the combine is known among archi tect and consumers,' was to raise ths price of lumber to a figure which prom ised to rapidly recoup all the losses sus tained during the last strike, and to lay Up surplus profits for the next one. The unprecedented demand for the product of the mills made this move easy, and as ths combine is solid and comprehen sive, there la little prospect of relief. CAN BUT. CHEAPER ELSEWHERE. Some large purohasers in the city have, however, dodged the exorbitant tariff of the trust by buying their lumber from small mills in Washington, and say that they can pay railroad charges on all their shipments and still save considerable money. " But the Portland mills say they do not eare." They are fairly swamped with' or ders and the saws cannot cut timber fast enough to prevent the oonstant accumula tion; of requests, the word Is used ad visedly, for all forms of construction lum ber. SAT THET NEED THE MONEY. The lumber trust officials can see no reason for reducing the price when they get more orders than they can Mil. with no questions asked except as to time of delivery. "The moneyed men in Port land will not build in dull times." said one mill man today. "They hug their money. Now, when times are good, these financiers see a sure thing In building houses. Let them pay the price. It will do them good and we need the money." San Francisco Is adding her quota to the confounding of the local consumer and the sustaining of the high prices. A buyer from the Golden Gate left a heavy order with the local mills last week. "We are -willing to pay 125 thousand." said this boomer, "if we can. get the lumber quickly, and we will not inspect it too , elosely either ; Meanwhile the sash and door men are Sending to Washington for their lumber while the small purchasers are paying the big price and vainly endeavoring to look pleasant SEAMAN WAS BADLY BEATEN German Sailor Robbed and Injured by North End Thugs At 2:10 a. m. yesterday a man was found on Burnslde . street in an unconscious condition.

S. L, Increase The annual report of the Union Pacific, which was due last week, shows a con siderable Increase In gross and net earn ings. It is understood that about 1-2 per cent will be shown upon the common stock, as compared with (.8 per cent, dur-lng-Uhe previous fiscal, year : ' .. i . This t 1-3 per cent, will be In addition to the Interest, amounting to something like 12,000,000, on the bonds Issued for ths purchase of the "capital stock of the Southern Pacific. INCREASES FROM SHORT LINE. ' The largest part of the increase In earnings of the Union Pacific was, de rived from the Western lines of the sys-' tern. The Oregon Short Line has been showing large Increases in earnings, and the greater portion of the increased' earn ings shown by the Union Pacific proper was derived from ths long distance traf fic received from the) Oregon Short Line. The most interesting part of the report of tno Union Pacific will be the Informa tion which It will give regarding its hold ings Of the capital stock of the Southern Pacific and the Northern Securities Com pany. Several important changes are known to have been made in the amount of Its holdings of the stock ot tnese two companies during the last year. At the date of Its last report, the Union raclfic owned $73,000,000 par value of the rapltal stock of the Southern Pacific Since then it Is understood that an addi tional tl5,O0G,OQ0 was purchased In the open market at a price averaging $66 a share: . . . NORTHERN PACIFIC STOCK. The total amount ot the Southern Pa cific stock owned by the Union Pacific would thus be S&O.OOO.OOO, or a trifle less than a majority of the outstanding shares. The Union Pacific, at the date of Its last report, also owned 178,108,000 par value of Northern Pacific stock. Since that time Northern Pacific stock has been exchanged at the ratio of 115 for Northern Securities stock. It Is believed that the Union Pacific received cash for a part of Its holdings of Northern Pacific and Northern Se curities stock for the remainder. How ever, no official announcement has been made on this point, and It will not be definitely known until the annual report is issued. PIPE TRAFFIC HIS DOWNFALL Mullen Handles Smoking Utensils That Were Stolen. - A number of days ago E. E. Whiting, a salesman for smoking goods, opened UP a display In a room at the Sherlock Building. He had meerschaum goods of the finest quality with silver and gold trimmings. While away for a short time some one broke into the room and helped himself to the choicest of the stock. The matter was reporetd to the police. The man who had stolen the goods did not believe In keeping dead stock on his hands, and started out to do business He sold some pipes at far less than cost, and any old bum whom he met could own a fancy meerschaum for a few cents. This wholesale traffic led to tne arrest of a man who gave his name ea W. A. Mullen by Detective Welner. The man claims to have at one time been in the employ of the City A Suburban Railway Company. He was identified yesterday by a number of per sons who had purchased pipes from him.1 The preliminary hearing Is on this after- SOME VALUABLE -IMPROVEMENTS To Be Gained From Passage of New Ordinance, A batch of ordinances were passed yes terday by the ojty council that Auditor Devlin says has never been equaled in the history of Portland, so far as the great amount of Improvement Involved In them Is concerned. The Title Guarantee ft Trust Company secured rights to Improve the whole of the Holllday Park Addition, which consists of 40 acres.

Rumor. ; That Combine - Has Been Made. To. Tit Uniform Price Under :, Which Retailers Hast ' ' Not Sell. A recent dispatch from Salem announced briefly that the National Grocery Com pany had been Incorporated with a capi tal stock Of 1300,000, The incorporators were given as W. C. Bristol, E. E. Hall and J. O. Wilson. Ths announcement immediately revived a story that has been current among lo cal Jobbers for some weeks, to the effect that the retail grocers of I'jitlund, and possibly Oregon, were tu be brought be neath tbe sway of a combine tl at would dictate the scale , of prices under whloh do retailer would be allowed tc sell. In conformation of this rumor regard ing tbe purposes of the new company, it Is pointed out that the Incorporators are not men versed In any branch of the grocery business, butfare ail three law yers connected with the firm of Cotton, Teal St Minor, who Appear us attorneys for the newvcorporjlon. While the froTTlTnal initiators of the Na tional Grocery Company will make no statement Of the company's Intentions, the story which Is passing on the street among those Interested la substantially as follows: GROCERS MEET IN EAST. That some weeks ago a meeting of large wholesale grocers was held In the East at Which plans were laid for the forma tion of a national trust, and that a sec ond meeting was held later In Chicago Where a local combination Is now being orranlsed. The story says that It is the Intention of the projectors to form a company along the. lines of the National Grocery Company In every stay In the Unlsn; but while the companies will legally be distinct from one another, they will act In harmony with the parent corporation to secure a uniform selling price on all manufactured articles sold in grocery stores. If this rumor should have aught of truth In It local Jobbers say that the idea was originated as a measure of protection to ths small retailer in the East who has In many cases been forced out of busi ness by the fierce competition of the big department stores, who cut the prices on nearly, everything they sell. IS THIS THE TOBACCO TRUST? Another rumor regarding tho new gro cery company gains less credence than the one outlined above. Since the publication In The Journal several weeks ago of the opening, ot re tail stores by the tobacco, trust, the ru mor will not down that the misrhty trust is now organizing a. grocery combine in Its efforts to force Its goods cn the pub lic. ; ' It Is said that the -newlv--organised-company will do a retail as well as a wholesale business. People who ought to know, say that headquarters for the trust have already been established in Portland by buying out two of the largest gro ceries in the ciu GAINS IN EARRINGS Gross Increase for October Is 4.8 Per Cent.

Merrill i Stood Against the District, Mr. Sharkey's Quick Flop How . the Ordinance Was Fin ally Passed. Quite a squabble occurred at the meet ing of the city council late yesterday afternoon when the oil district proposi tion eame up for consideration. The crea tion of the district as proposed by Coun cilman Flegel includes Block 11, Kast Portland, and Is bounded by East Water street, Kast Madison avenue, Union ave nue and East Taylor street. Councilman Merrill was champion for the opposition;- and made a vigorous fight, although it amounted to nothing In the end. When the matter wss an nounced by Auditor Devlin. Mr. Merrill jumped to his feet and said: "I wish to go on record by opposing the creation of an oil district for any one company to the exclusion of others that may wish to sell oil. I would like it understood, how ever, that I am not -antagonistic to the Standard Oil Company, and that Is not my Incentive for making the stand I am today. I believe that those citlsens who object to such establishments should first be considered, furthermore, 1 am In favor of competition." SHARKET WAS NEXT. When Merrill had eoncludeJ, Council man Sharkey gained the tloor and said he wished to know why a committee of the whole of the council had pasped favor ably on the action, and that only four of the eight who were present hud voted. Mayor Williams replied that It was not a committee of the whole thit had acted on the subject, but only Individual coun cllmen, as a committee of ihe whole could not be summoned except by the action of the council in regular session. Mr. Sharkey replied to the mayor that so long as his constituents believed that the council had acted on the matter, and as he thought that the measure was a menace to rightful competition he dis favored it In Its entirety. President Zimmerman mads his char acteristic little talk in whd-h he sup ported the passage of the ordinance, and that was sbout all of it. MERRILL 8TOOD AI.ONE. As the motion was before tho board for final passage the mayor ordered tho roll call, and here Is where the remarkable feature- of the whole proceedings hap pened. Sharkey voted for tho ordinance, and alone Merrill said "nay." H seemed surprising to everybody present, not ex cepting the councllmen, that Sharkey should make the change, having. ,.taj$en, th'e stand he did. prior to the acceptance of the measure by his fellow councllmen. After It was all over and the Portland Heights cement pavement proposition was before the council. Councilman Sharkey interrupted and said -he-wished tflrchange n is vote on the oil district matter, as his constituents on the East Side might think he had not fought their battle properly. About this time an Interested specta tor at the council meeting said "Sharkey should go and playkcroquet Fomewhere. and not engage In a game where cUmlna was needed." And so ths ordinance passed and the East Side has an oil district that will stay with them. BLIND GOSPEL SINGERS HERE Will Sing at the First Baptist Church This Evening. Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Baker, of Philadel phia, the renowned blind gospel singers, arrived In Portland today and will sing in the First Baptist Church this even ing and Sunday morning.

Mcpherson ; Heating and Ventilating Engineer 47 FIRST ST.,-bet,; Aalt sod PlB THE' PIONEERS WON THE PALMS An Old Fashioned Turkey Shoot Up the River, USED GUNS OF ANCIENT MAKE Upper Colombia River Is Rolling In Prosperity. F. J. Bmlth, freight and passenger agent for the White Collar Line, has re turned from a week's business trip up the Columbia River. A few days ago he says that he attended an old-fashioned sboottnjr v fna,tch a,t which turkeys and '," a fine dressed beef were the prizes to be awarded to the best marksmen. There were about 0 men who Tpmtcfpate6- lit the sport; -Hmny-of -whom were pioneers in the West, having come across the plains in prairie schooners. The rifles they used were of the old Virginia type, which they brought with them on that memorable trip when the red foe men had undisputed control of the terri tory. A few took part with up-to-date guns, but they proved no match for the grizzled frontiersmen, who hit the bull's eye regularly with apparent ease. They carried away all the trophies. The shoot ing took place at Underwood's Landing in the Hood River country. COUNT RT PROSffiROUB. Mr. Smith says that all the towns up the Columbia River are enjoying a season of unprecedented prosperity. The sawmills and logging camps are doing a great busi ness. The recent rains were of a great benefit, as the streams are sufficiently swollen as to make it easy- tor logs to bo driven down to the points where the mills arer-situa-red. - ContlnulnK.-Mn-Smrth-satdr "Hood River is experiencing a healthy growth. A large number of real estate transfers are being made there each week. In that neighborhood many new mills are being erected, and the country has been more rapidly developed during the past year than in any other period of five times that length. Next season's busi ness between Portland and Upper Colum bia TKJlnts -Wilt be "tnit(lr--ctiitm wholly by the new enterprises which have been established. .Many Eastern people are going to there conttptlously; ararairfcng: farm lands, paying for them willingly at the rate of $40 per acre. 'The productiveness of that section of the country Is hardly realised by the resi dents of Portland. A man, whom I vis ited at Stanley's Point, was harvesting his potato crop. It was yielding at the rate of 200 Ktishels per acre, ana be had enough potatoes pllefl tip there to feed an army foi six months." LESS THAN THREE DAYS. Time, Portland to Chicago, via O. R.
