A BIT OF JUDICIAL
IRONY CROPS OUT
Humorous Incident are common tn
the courts. Now and then, however,
something happens that is unique. A
case in point la a not-true Information
filed this morning in tha circuit court
by DUtrtct Attorney Manning against
M. J. Sutton.
Sutton waa convicted of the larceny
of a diamond pin valued at ltd from
R. A. Broadway on July 4. Ho was sen
tenced by Municipal Judge Hogus to
serve three months In the county jail
After serving 87 days he wu placed
aboard the ship Rnjore last Thursday
to be sent to the United Kingdom. He
knocked the mate on tha head Saturday
evening, and, taking a small bost,
reached the shore. Sunday morning ho
bonrded a train for tha east
Tot this morning a not-true Informa
tion was filed agatnst him In ths circuit
court, though his oasa waa not aven rest
ing on appeal. He would probably be
serving time yet If the police had been
able to catch him.
DATo
ACCUSES FA1
On complaint of his daughter, Wini
fred, aged II years, Frank Wilson, a
pslnter, was arrested last night charged
with assault. He Is In the city jail.
The prisoner Is a member of the paint
ers' union and has resided hero many
years. There is a suspicion on the pert
of the district attorney that .the de
fendant la not guilty, nd that he is the
victim of a conspiracy. He was not
arraigned today.
LUMBER RATES
ARE VERY LOW
When tha steamer Despatch reaches
the mouth of the Columbia river from
Q A .Im I. ,wnMla In An
eo today, she will be ordered to proceed
to Puget sound and load lumber for tbja.
return trip. It was the intention to
have the steamer come to Portland, out.
during ths past week, the rates for the
transportation of lumber dewu tbe coast
from thla port, have fallen to sucn a low
figure that the owners decided to change
that program.
Within the past week or two the rates
from Portland to Baa Francisco by the
water routs have dropped down to 8.7 S
par thousand feat, or to $4.76 if the
cargo is taken to Ban Pedro. From tbe
sound the tariff is $4.50 to tha Cali
fornia metropolis and $5.50 to Ban
Pedro.
It is claimed by the vessel owners
that so long aa there is such a wide dis
parity in the figures they would prefer
to have their steamers operating from
the northern porta, where, they claim.
that cargoes are easily secured. It is
also contended that it doea not require
Very much mora time to make the trip
than it does from Portland.
Until recently, the rates wre the
same as those which are In force at Ta
coma, Seattle and neighboring porta. It
Is explained that, the decline la duo to
tha fact, that tha business has been
overdone locally on account of tha large
number of schooner, which have been
loading here of lata. The owners of
the aalllng vassals are willing to accept
lower rates than those who are operat
Ing steamers, but It is not generally be
lieved that the present situation win
continue for any great length of time.
Nearly all tha sailing vessels in port
which are under charter to carry lumber
are loaded, and shortly after they clear
out It is thought by those who are dl
rertly Interested in this lino of business
that the tariff will again ba rained.
This view Is taken for the reasoji that
there are not so many schooners on the
en route list aa la usually tha oasa.
The steamer Aberdeen will return
from Ban Francisco In a few days to
load with lumber for the return trip.
Her cargo will ba eecured at LaVelle and
it is understood that tha owners will
receive the rate which was la force sev
eral weeks ago.
Work of unloading aad BVeVeadrng srioo-
madl BTatr Beam Tory Bapld.
At 4 o'clock this morning tha lsst
pound of freight waa removed from tha
hold of the oriental liner Nlcomedla,
and two hours later she shifted from tba
Alaaka dock to tha flour mills, where
she Is receiving a cargo for tha outward
trip; Officials of tha company state
that soma vary quick work has bean
dona on the Nlcomedla during tha paat
few- day. If tha present pace is kept
up until Tuesday they assert that the
vessel will be ready for sea. Should
their calculations prove to bs correct,
it will mean that the steamer was com
pelled to lay in port only one week, dis
charging and receiving cargo. As she
brought in nearly 7,000 tons, snd will
take out a similar amount, the declara
tion Is made that few vessels of ner
carrying capacity have even been given
such quick dispatch in any other port on
tbe coasL Ixingshoremen were working
day and night unloading her, or the task
would yet be far from completed.
No particular rush is being made in
loading the Astec, which Is lying at the
Alblna dock. Onry a couple of batches
are being worked a part of tbe time, but
it is thought that she will be in shape
for sailing by the first week in Septem
ber. One thing that will keep her back
considerably la tbe fact that she will
have to make several shifts to the vari
ous docks to gather up the different
kinds of freight that she will carry.
Among other miscellaneous consign
ments a number of flatoars will bs
taken on board, and as they are, divided
Into sections that weigh in the neigh
borhood of 16 and 30 tons, much valu
able time will be wasted In handling
them.
The shippers will receive the benefit
of the $4 freight rata on both steamers,
although the new tariff of 16 a ton is
supposed to go Into effect September 1.
Thla is the principal reason that every
effort has been put forth by the com
pany to get the vessels out before the
higher freight rate becomes effective.
It is also necesaary for' tha Asteo to
reach Japan before October 1 in order
that the consignees may avoid paying an
Import duty of 10 cents a barrel on
flour.
FOB, COOS BAT.
When the steamer Alliance sails to
night shs will have on board 80 China
men who are going to Coos bay to work
In the salmon cannerlaa. Temporary
quarters have been fixed up tor them
on the boat.
Blnce the fishing season along the Co
lumbia river has closed large numbers
of Chinaman are returning to Portland.
The Ieurllne brought up a big crowd
from Astoria this morning. As the
season Is Just beginning st Coos bay
many of the Celestials will go down
there to work for a few weeks. The
local Immigration officials are meeting
all tha boats arriving from down the
river and they secure the names of the
Mongolians as fsst ss they land. The
object la to prevent any of the wary
sons from the far east from playing
any of their dark tricks to which Bret
Harts once called attention,
IB addition to the Chlneae, the Alli
ance will take out SO tons of cannery
supplies for Coos bay, ISO tons of grain
and flour far Ban Francisco and 300
crates of peschss and a oarload of
watermelons for Eureka.
LOBES HPTJD
A dispatch to M. C. Harrison A Co.
ststes that the steamer Harrison lost
her rudder this morning off the Sluslaw
river. She put back to Utnpqua, where
a safe landing was effscted. The Infor
mation is slso given that the steamer
Bus H. Elmore will be sent from the
mouth of the Columbia river to toe the
disabled vessel to Astoria, where the
necessary repairs will be made.
At the time of the mishap the Har
rison waa en routs from Taqulna to
Ballts with a cargo of cannery supplies
valued at 110,000, and was fully Insured.
The steamer belongs to the Elmore com
pany of Astoria.

The contract for building the Condon-
Arlmgton branch of the Oregon Railway
A Navigation company's lines has been
awarded to the Paoiflo Coast Steamship
company. The road Is to be miles in
length and is to tap ths great wheat
growing and cattle country of Gilliam
county.
It is announced that work on the
proposed road will begin at once and
that It is stipulated in the contract that
all the bridge and track work shall be
completed by December 81 of this year.
The contract embraces various kinds of
work, providing for bridges, culverts,
cuts and Alia. Because of the heavy and
sudden rains that occur in that oountry
a great amount of rock work will ba
required to prevent weakness.
The construction of tbe road waa rs
cently decided upon by General Man
agar E. E. Calvin of the Oregon Rail
way A Navigation company, who made
trip of Inspection through that coun
try. For years farmers and cattle rais
ers of Gilliam county have been handi
capped because of transportation facil
ities. Wagon trains have been used
by the farmers and the cost of market
ing ths grain has been sccordlngly In
creased, destroying s lsrge percent of
the profit to which the farmers were en
titled. The construction of ths road
will do much toward opening up a ooun
try that offers wonderful opportunities
for Investment and location.
