f humanity. Recorder Van Winkle

istered justice without stint George
O'Connor and Fat Looney, who claimed
to bail from Montana, received ten days
tor peddling a face lotion without first
talcing out a license. Four vagrants
who failed to produce evidence that
they had means of support were allowed
to choose between' five days in the city

Wavis. local character, who has made
frequent visits to his honor, was fined

the "all be joyful" fluid, and he handed
over the necessary ducats. Idtte in the
afternoon a stranger raised quite a com
motion on first street by very loud talk
ing and boisterous conduct He was ar
rested by Chief of Police McClaln, who
escorted bim to the police court. He
continued to preach on the inequality of
man's condition while being escorted to
the temple of justice. When questioned
by the recorder he refused to give his
true name, answering that John Doe
would suffice, and said he had just ar
rived from the United States. He In
: formed the court that he was a Social
ist, but Judge Van Winkle could not see
bow that would lead him to becoming
boisterous and uncivil. Mr. Doe de
manded a jury trial, but as that mode
of procedure is unknown In the city
. court h grew very Indignant and the
court ordered him placed In jail until
this afternoon, when he will be given a
beating. In the meantime his appetite
bas been tempted with a loaf of dry
bread dally and .an abundance of Cold
water. i '
Harry Kirby, a forsaken-looking indi

ten days on light diet Klrby was so

SHIPPERS' TROUBLES
IN THE NORTHWEST
' (Journal Special Berrlee.) ';"
Salem, Jan. 4. The Greater Salem
Commercial club is performing a very
important service to the shippers of
Western Oregon and interior sawmills.
The club bas gathered a large amount
of information relative to the car short
age that has prevailed for the last three
months and the advance In freight rates
that goes into effect on January 19.
The club has letters from warehouse
men, flouring mills, produce shippers
and sawmills, showing car . shortage
losses suffered by Individual shippers,
ranging from $50 to many thousands,
and in some cases complete suspension
of Industries.
A letter received by the club Satur
day shows that one large flouring mill
has gone Into the hands of a receiver.
This mill got practically no cars for
flour shipments to Portland for a period
of. three months. , At one point in the
Willamette valley 1,000 tons of bay
were held two months for want of cars.
This hay was purchased for the Port
land market and a. large firm lost its
city contracts for failure to deliver. In
the meantime the warehouses holding
the hay burned down and a number of
farmers and dealers are bankrupt
'7 s-' Xmmber aUtes.";'';";'
The new lumber rates are almost pro
hibitive on interior sawmills, Imposing
a difference against interior mills on
rail shipments to Bail Francisco of $4.$
per 1,000 feet and $2.08 per 1,000 feet
difference on shipments to Sacramento.
The club has received letters within a
few days showing tbat logging eamps
are being shut down all over the in
terior of Western Oregon, The out
put of sawmills Is falling off, some of
tHem being shut down entire and others
only running , half . time. Unless the
rates can be changed many large saw
mills in. Western Oregon will be housed
up and go out of business. Merchants
at sawmill towns, are already feeling the
effect of the falling off of trade and this
will be forcibly Impressed on the job
bers at Portland In the near future, es
pecially those handling groceries,' ma
chinery, hardware. etc. The general
trafflo of the railroads in this class of
business is also falling off. , ... .7.
' The Salem Commercial- club is wisely
refusing to make public the name of a
single shipper and thus protecting the
business men against any future re
crimination. - They, hope to place the
facts which thsy have gathered before
some trafflo manager who has sufficient
authority to remedy the evils which are
threatening Western Oregon industries.
Members of the Multnomah delegation
informed the legislature when it was in
special session that managers of -the
Harrlman lines had made arrangements
to furnish Portland shippers with all the
cars needed.
Debts of Pnblio Offlclals. '
An effort Is being made here to secure
an adjudication., of .the question as to
whether the Kay act passed at the last
regular session of the legislature, pro
viding for the garnishment of state and
county ! officers for the collection of
debts from public officials and employes,
Is constitutional. Recently a suit was
brought here against an. employe of the
state on an old judgment and an execu
tion was Issued, the constable serving
a garnishment notice on the secretary
of state, but that gentleman resists the
garnishment proceedings and appeared
in the justice court Saturday afternoon,
by Assistant Attorney-General .Parker,
and moved the 'court to dismiss the pro
ceedings. The matter was taken under
advisement and will be decided this
afternoon, and whatever the decision,
the case will be appealed to the higher
court in order to secure a final decision
In the supreme court
The action of the secretary of state
Is based on the decision of the circuit
court in a similar case had last sum
mer, where it was held that it was
against publlo policy to have the salary
or wage of a publlo official or employe
subject to garnishment or attachment
and the case in question was therefore
dismissed, the court also holding in that
case the secretary was not subject to
garnishment proceedings. - That cast
was not carried up to the supreme court,
the plaintiff deciding that it was toot
expensive to push the matter.
The result of the present litigation
will be closely watched here end eagerly
awaited by many business men. .
" 3fo School Supervision. . ;
A school superintendents' and princi
pals, club was organised In this city
Saturday afternoon for - the study of
school supervision and kindred work.
The organization was attended by a
number .. of principals of schools In
Marlon and Polk counties, and the as
surance was given from a number who
were absent that the membership would
be increased by the next meeting. Of
ficers were elected as follows: : State
Superintendent J. H. Ackerman, presi
dent; Principal L. A. Wiley of Jefferson,
vice-president; City Superintendent L.
R.. Traver of Balem, eeretary-treas-urer.
The above officers, together with
Superintendent E. T, Moores and Miss
Lizzie Cornelius, will form an executive
committee, i-. A set of by-laws was
adopted., providing for regular monthly
meetings, to be held during the school
year. ' The principal of any school, pub
llo or private, may. become a member,
and any teacher may join upon receiv
ing a two-thirds vote favorable to his
application. The afternoon was epent
in the discussion of matters pertaining
to schools, and on adjournment it was
decided to hold the next meeting on
February 8, next , y ; : v , .'.-,,

L) D. Massey and Lee Jeffries, two
saloonmen from Mill City,, in the east
ern part of this county, were' given a
preliminary hearing in this city Satur
day afternoon, on the charge of selling
liquor without a license, and were bound
over to the circuit court, which' meets
today. Both were held in $100 ball, end
being unable to furnish bonds, they were
committed te jail. Some of the 'wit
nesses for the prosecution, -after -the
hearing, "celebrated the result of the
trial by imbibing quite freely, and it
was a noisome crowd .that scattered
throughout this city. '

CITY OF VANCOUVER
- (Journal Special Berries.)
Vancouver, Wash., Jan. 4. Following
in the footsteps of the moral wave that
has swept the state of Washington, and
Vancouver in particular, the religious
sentiment seems to be increasing at a
rapid ra.te, and the town, in the eyes of
many, is rising to a higher level of
goodness.
The various crusades against the
vices in the city are not only looked
upon by the leaders as bearing good "
results, but they believe their efforts
will be lasting In this respect.
It is, however, - to the evangellstio
work of Revs. McDowell and Riroan
ocxy, who are now holding a series of
meetings in Vancouver, that a large
number have reviewed their shortoom-
lngs and have designated an. intention
to hereafter do better.
While the meetings all last week were
gratifying to the leaders, the services
yeterday were even more so. During
the week there were 84 -persons desig
nated their intentions to become Chris
tians, and there were 23 young people
In ' the - Sunday-school yeterday who
signified a like intention, making a total
of 47 converts that were to be taken
in on probation last night The church
was so Crowded last night however, -'
that the reception of the converts was
postponed until-, a later time. , .- '
At all the meetings the church has
been very crowded, but at last bight's
services the doors had to be closed, a
there was no standing room left
