WORST CAR SHORTAGE IN HISTORY FACES OREGON Five Lumber Mills on Falls City Road Shut Down The Largest Needed 100 Cars Weekly and Got 20 Dur . ing MonthCommission Will Meet Here. The worst car shortage in the history of the state confronts Oregon shlppera : Lumber mills already have begun shut ting down, and all kinds of field pro duets are awaiting ahipmont In cars that have been asked for from the rail road companies but not supplied. The . - nJlroad demurrage law has not yet been formally Invoked by the shippers, and I no organised effort is being mads to : apply it to existing conditions. Five lumber mills on the Salem, Falls City A 'Western road have shut down. One of the largeat, that of the Falls (; City Lumber company, needed 100 cars . per woex lor euiem ana local snip . ments. During the month of August the mill received but 20 cars from the .railroad companies, and only two of ; these were ror commercial lumber ship ments, the other IS being for railroad I ties and materials. t U, 4 OouM irot Stand Bxpaasev, The mill had a large pay roll and was unable to stand the oxpenae with but SO ears per month for marketing Its product. Thus far during the month of September the mill has been able to fret but seven cars, . in an attempt to ship out its large surplus. A shut down was the only alternative. The same condition exists with regard to the other four mills on the road. It was reported that the railroad com mission of Oregon had taken up the complaint of a Port If od commission house arm would institute legal action to enforce the demurrage law. Thla report was incorrect The railroad commlaslon. It is said, had no power to enforce Individual applications for cars nor collect for Individuals the demur rage charged against railroad companies falling to supply cara Oommlsalcei Cannot Act. Commissioner C. B. Aitchlson, who with Commissioner Campbell, returned today from an Inspection trip through eastern Oregon, said: that manner a suit might be prosecuted by the commission to determine the ef ficacy of the demurrage clause." Ballroads Adopt Arbitrary Sole. It la charged by ahlppers that the railroad companies have adopted a courae that, If not In open defiance of the law. will tend to make It unpopu lar If aurb a result can be brought about They are refilling to accept In teratate shipments unleaa made In for eign cara. They are advancing the claim that they would be doing an tnjuatice to the state of Oregon ahould they per mit their cara to be taken out of the atata for moving freight to other rail road llnea that might not return them promptly. Interstate ehlpmenta, however, are suffering as badly aa Interstate busl nesa for lack of cara. It la a well- known fact that tha transcontinental llnea are practically without equipment in comparison with eastern roads, when they should have more equipment la proportion than eastern roads which have less mileage and more business.

In compliance with a requeat from the transportation committee of the Port land chamber of commerce tha etata railway commission will soon begin an examination with a view of ascertain ing the exact equipment and motive power of the rallwaya In Oregon, alao other facts bearing on the cause and cure ror car shortage. rlaga o ine commiaaton already has In Its ' undi CUPID HIT HARD TWICE JIartin Grohs Tries Second Time to Wed and Second Time License is Taken Away Just as Ceremony Is About to Be Said. possession, statlatlca of equipment and numoer or owned ind roreiam cara naarf by Oregon railroads during the six months ending the year 1906. and the first three months of 1907.

Two months ago yoang Orohs secured a license to msrry 11-year-old Tracy Fox. Both the young people's parents were present and consented. But after the license was Issued It was discovered that Orohs was only IT years old, and the Oregon law does not allow tha mar- r a youth of less than 18 years er any circumstances. Accordingly the deputy demanded that the license be returned and tne weddlnr waa postponed until Orohs became 18 years old. Yesterday afternoon Orohs and Miss Fox and her mother appeared at the courthouse, the eighteenth birthday hav Inr arrived. In response to a Ques tion whether he were of age, Oroha re- . pnea yes tninxing me deputy meant 18 yeara. The license waa issued, and after the yawing couple had gone to Judge Webster's rooms to be married it was discovered that the deputy had meant II years.

The coroner's Jury in the inquest held today over the bodies of the five Japanese laborers killed In the 4 wreck at Dlllard, brought in the e following verdict: "An unavoid- e able accident,, due to defective e air brakes." The verdict exon- ,oratee the trainmen and throws the blame on the Southern Pa- - cifc , ..'''! 1 To Bret Harte, whose genius furnishes the foundation for the play, "Salomy Jane," America owes much In the way of a model for its own distinctive liter ature, and to his clear vision the world must give its credit In return for the host of quaint, natural characters that have lived, worked, loved and dlui hv the virtue of his Inspired pen. Tha life of Bret Harte is In Itself a romance, and furnishes but another In stance of the curious workings of a fata that inevitably brings out the best that is in a man In spite of the obstacles ffiat have apparently been placed in his path. In his early days young Harte went through the usual vicissitudes of the youth, and finally gravitated to tha task of pedagogues. He failed as a teacher, for his Inclinations were to lead his pupils to the study of nature. v The sclfool a failure he tried mining. Here again his love for the wonders of me eartn too possession of him. The result was one that might have been predicted, and he failed here again and turned his attention to the few news papers of-, the country, publishing sketcheg of the miners. This brought him a certain amount of modest fame, for bis work was clear aa a springs and held a fascination that gripped because of its truth. More and mora attantlnn came to him as a result of bis labor,- w.iiuii was unainu j way to me east, and In 1864 he was appointed secretary of the United States mint at San Fran cisco, which position he held until 1870 The literary light was by this time burning fiercely, and in 1188 Harte founded and edited the Overland Month ly. In 1873 his work had found annh iavor tnat ne was approached by a firm of publishers In New Tork and offered a salary of $10,000 a year to come east and write for them exclusively. He ac cepted this offer, and made his home at Plainfield, New Jersey, where he wrote as tha spirit seised him. He died in London in 1899. From this time the name of Bret Harte was but a memory until .George C.
