Vr-Ji 'By,'ThoniM!Mc5uskei:. 'tit The ,, latest eplsUe from t St Paul brtn 4 tha startling Inf drmatlon that ua railroads contemplate advanoing tha east-bound rat on lumber beoaus they used tb moneys, . ; i They haV discussed, tha mattei pro knd. con. among themselves, until they r really of the opinion that there Is some truth In it all of which goes to how that constant repetition even , of fairy tale will have a tendency to eventually convince the narrator him self, provided . always there la soma ood reason for his being convinced. 'his seems to be a ease In which tha railroads want to ha rnnvinrort hence the excuse that the present rat la not sufficiently remunerative., for the rea son that conditions have changed since mis rat was established, and tnst it saddles them with a burden from which they fain would free themselves. Torgrt Their Statements. t It Is remarkable how soon these self confessed philanthropists forget the statements which they made but a short while ago, and the worst feature of it is mat tnsy axpect tn puoiio to rorajet also, and as a rule, they do so. But the Right Hon. J. J. Hill Impressed one fact so forcibly upon the minds of the people a yeSr or so ago, when he was neror tn Internals commerce commis sion, that they cannot readily forget it Mr. Hill made the posltiv statement. not In llitS. but about two years ago. that If he had loads for his westbound oars, he could glv an even better rat on lumber eastbound; consequently tha absurd statement now sent out that owing to th great progress th wast is making and the fact that there Is suf ficient tonnaae to load weatbound cars. an advance In eastbound rates in neces sary, cannot and should not have any welahL for the reason that either Mr. Hill did not know what he was talking about when he made his statement two years aao which is not likely or some one Is trying to ahort change us now. ll is very questionable if any or tn railroad officials will make affidavit to the effect that the westbound tonnage Is greater than the eastbound, and If It la, then there is no reason whatever for ad vancing th rate, for Mr. Hill also said that the eastbound rate carried with It th coat of hauling the cars empty westbound, consequently If the preaent rata pays for. hauling the empty cars west, and the westbound business has grown so great," following the usual cus tom of giving encouragement to the upbuilding of the country, why should not the railroads reduce rather than advance the rate? Operation Much Cheaper. The cost of operating under improved methods now In vogue Is much less than formerly, the tonnage Is greatly Increased, and the net earnlnga are greater1 than ever before, but instead of voluntarily reducing the rate, thereby making It Tosslble for the consumers to reap some little benefit frpm th great progreaS beforementloned, (which action would mark the near approach of the millenlum) they are seeking some means to add to his ever Increasing burdens. On the other hand, the mlllmen are organising and have pledged or aro about to pledge some millions to prevent tha railroads from robbing .them, (as some one tersely stated it), claiming &at an r Increase fn rates' will surely result In closing down th mills, . ' Th public,, no 4oubt' will ,b inter ested in knowing the exact facts. As has been shown sbov,' th representa tions of the railroad are absurd, and hav no merit from th argument ad vanced by them. This they know, and I so do th mlllmen, but neither party dares avow th real casus belli, though both understand, .It Is to b a duel to th death. t - . , . Now let us analyse the trus status ct th case. As everyone knows, tnerais . a logging combine, or putting It In tb language of th hour, a logging trut i that regulates the prie .of logs, and as has been frequently noted In th 1 nroaa hn there threatens to b an oversupply of logs, th oombln shuts ' down th camp In order to prevent a decreas In the prloe. This Is also true of th shingle oombln. Tb net r- .,H h Kn that tha nrlc of lOSTS has continued to advance, with- som slight variations occasionally In th opposite direction. . - ' KlUmsn Advanoed Vrlo , . , Tn muimen. is oraer iu iuii their established standard of profit hav found It ncssary to advanc th prlc f lumbar, and Strang as -Itmay appear, hav not always stopped at th actual advano of th logs, but In order to make It even change, hav gon Jbov It with th rsult that they did not find It unprofitable, consequently had no cause to fight th logging oombln. Th railroads, having had some little education In this line themselves, have been quietly watching the game, and hav finally decided that ther should be a "dlvy," consequently they resort to an advance In rates, but as the old savins- aoes. there Is honor among thieves that Is, som thivs they do not want to break up tn game, but merely to break In, hence th pretext alven far the advance. ' NOW to glv the devil his due. It Is just possible tnst th railroads are entitled to a part of th swag, for s a matter of fact they have mad very reasonable rates In many cases, that is, mostly where they nave competition, out u mey pucucou In cnrrvlnor their nolnt. who is going to be the loser, or in other words, who pays th freight? Klllmaa's Point, of Tlw. 'Tonkin at It from a disinterested standpoint, we might figure out that the mlllmen' would say to the logging com bine, "the fraignt nas Deen aavancea so much, and It will not do to advance the price of lumber, as th poor consumer cannot stand it, consequently we cannot pay the prlc you ask. and must request that you reduce the price of logs." Will they do It? Not on your life! The mlllmen depend on the logger, and that Individual holds the whlpnanfl, so that It resolves Itself Into X three-handed dog-cat-dog game, and no matter wnat the result of the fight, the consumer will not be benefited, and runs a lea be & el, -J to' 4sMp TEA GEYLON The choice of flavor it matter of tute should-be' free from artificial coloringit should be pure.

It Is a difficult matter to point out how th consumer can take part in this fight, and it will also be Interesting to know Just what action the mlllmen will take to protect themselves. If they en Join the railroads, it will be only a tem porary makeshift for these latter Indi viduals stay awake nights scheming to get what la coming to them, as well as what Is coming to the other fellow. There is only one solution of the mat ter that can In any way benefit .the con sumer, and while It will also benefit the mlllmen, it will have a lendency to curb the logging combine.' and that Is a maximum rate law.. The people may possibly get their innings oy joining with the mlllmen who arc a powerful factor, having plenty of means at their command, but they should see to It that should such a law be enacted. It be equitable both to the railroads as well as themselves. As a law that would not allow proper remuneration for transportation would be as bad as the reverse, as It would prevent the construction of railroads, consequently retard the growth of the country. Look at it rrom any standpoint the question Is a delicate one. Ries mijsi BE KEPT OPEII No Hope of Ilavino: Bridge Draws Closed During Busy Hours. U. S.

Pleasant View, Wash., Aug 9. In order to circumvent the warehouse com bine, which recently announced that storage rates will be increased B0 per cent this year, a number of Eureka flat farmers have built a big wheat platform here and are shipping their grain at a cost of less than SO cents a ton. The farmers owning the platform will haul thefr wheat at their own con venience. A number of other platforms will D erected at Eureka, Pleasant View, Hadley and other points in the Eureka flat belt.

Mr. Hoffman said the wheat would be handled at approxi mately 30 cents a ton. Tomorrow is the last day to receive discount onj west side gas bills. First Meerschaum Pipe. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Kavol Kowates, a Pesth shoemaker, invented the meerschaum pipe. He; died in 1784 and there is talk among Pesth smokers of erecting a statue to his memory. A large piece of meerschaum was brought to Pesth by Count Andrassy in 1723. It naa- Deen given to the count in Turkey. He fetched it home because as a niece of white clay of extraor dinary light specific gravity it pleased mm. Kavol Kowates was noted In Pesth for his skill In carving and Count An drassy took his chunk of light white ciay to mm ana saia: ''Make, fellow, something pretty out The ingenious Kavol, a great smoker, thought that the porousness of the white clav adapted it well for pipes, and accordingly he made two from It one for himself and one for Count Andrassy. The pipes were charming -and they Smoked superbly. .. The fame of them spread. In course' of time meerschaum mining and meerschaum plpemaklng be came two of the recognized industries of the world. Th original Kavol Kowates pipe, tha world's first meerschaum, is still .pre served In the Pesth museum. ; : Ula Chance Will Come.

United States engineer, declares there Is no hone of arranging closed hours for the bridges crossing the river to prevent steamers or other craft from passing through, the draws during the hours of the heaviest traffic. He says it has been tried so many times without success that it would Only be a waste of time to again lay the matter before th ehlef of the department. "The Interests of navigation are first to be conserved," said Colonel Roessler this morning in discussing the question. 'and the department will take no otlrer view of it This Is an old law recog nised all over th world and it would not bear alteration or exceptions be cause Its usefulness would then soon ceaso. Waterways must bo kept open and I don't see how anything can be riono here to remedy the evil complained of except by tome mutual understanding between the pilots or navigators and the public. It seems too bad to have to liold a bridge open for several minutes to allow a stemner to pass during a time of day when traffic Is congested, as sometimes does happen, but I don't see now It can be remedied by restrict ing th movements of the vetsels. It can't be done, and as much as I would like to see the matter settled to the sat isfaction of all concerned, I am sure nothing In that line can be done. The Question has come up so many times be ore In other places, much smaller commercially than Portland without the desired result, so it would be of no use to lay the matter before the department even wouia l recommend the proposi tion. Portland Is getting to be so prominent a seaport that no attention would be given a step that possibly might retard the movements of ves sels." Complaints are occasionally mado tf pilots taking large lumber-laden steam ers through the bridges during hours in the mornings and evenings when large crowds are irolng to work or returning. In view of these complaints the matter wag referred to Colonel Koessler who has charge of the waterways in this part of the states. The pilots say it is sometimes necessary to start a steamer at an hour which the general nubile might think seems unsuited because of the tides. for her and glv her all possible dis patch. Th Slam Is fully laden with cement consigned to Meyer, Wilson & Co., and her tardiness has caused th consignees no little Inconvenience because 'of the demand for th material stowed in her hold. She has been quoted at , 6 per cent reinsurance, but notwithstanding this fact, the consignees have at no time feared that she would not reach port In safety. They know her to be a slow sailer, and' so gave her plenty of time. The British bark Conway Castle, which arrived at Astoria yesterday, will leave up tomorrow, tihe has a cargo of cement consigned to W. P. Fuller & Co. She put Into Valparaiso May ID for a supply of fresh water and left two days later. The pipes leading to th water cask sprung leaks in th storms encountered oft Cape Horn, so that th water became tainted. 1 1 Men's Genuine Patent Colt Blucher and' Buttbn Oxfords, all sizes and widths, reduced to.....

The steam schooner Palsy FrOman, Captain Johnson, arrived up last night about 10 o'clock and went to Oak street dock to discharge a couple of hundred tons of gunnies from San Francisco. This was accomplished In a few hours; and then she shifted to the Eastern & Western Lumber company's mills to take on a cargo of lumber for a return P. ... The officers report a pleasant voyage north.
