FOR BIG WAREHOUSE 'North Bank Railroad Needs 8,520, 000 Feet of Lumber for Construe Uon of Immense Wharf on Water i front In North Portland. ; , . . 5 The biggest local transaction in lum ber tor many year was closed yester ilay when the Peninsula Lumber com "pany secured the contract to furnish 3.5I0,00O feet of lumber; for the con struction of the north bank road's Im mense , warehouse to be erected on the water front at the foot of Bavler street The lumber will be delivered from the mill on the peninsula to the ware house site on scows that have already been arranged for, and the material will "lie handled pretty lively because the contract calls for completion of ; the building by Seotember L. ' Th quantity ordered Is equal to a whole cargo carried by one of the Dig iramp steamers that call here for lum ber and would fill half a dosen of the average eteam schooners in the coast wise lumber trade. - . . . t As to the lumber business in general it is said that conditions are much. the ame as last week, a fair amount of local business, poor rail trade and light California business, with everybody 'competing hard for orders, m Prices re main low, most mlllmen contending that 0;the bottom has been reached. . ' 1 In reference to the market through out the states the latest Issue of the American Lumberman of Chicago says: , "Just what relation the general flnan-; clal situation sustains to the lumber Jrade is a problem almost without solu tion. The last week, however, shows that 'Improvement In the country's fi- ranees does not assure a corresponding - betterment of general conditions In the i umber business. The financial eltua lon has undoubtedly eased to a consid erable extent and In the money centers of the country there has been a more optimistic tone the last few days. Muoh Interest is displayed In the prospects for unusually heavy crops and also much speculation as to the effect of a bumper crop upon mercantile and stock market conditions. . The logical first Im pression would be that a heavy crop this year , would be an augury, of re- turning prosperity, yet from this, view there are many dissenters who base Tneir somewhat" unhappy forecasts on this very outlook,. and base their hopes on a partial crop failure. At financial - centers, however, the situation has thus . far improved to an extent which should aid many institutions in financial dis tress to tide themselves over with bor rowed money which they could not nave Obtained a few weeks ago, "Some branches of the trade are ex isting In an expectant frame of mind. The retailers ot the central states have been enjoying a fair call for lumber for building purposes and as the general public .becomes more thoroughly con vinced that building materials are cheap Just now there is every reason to be leve it will be in the market on an In creasing scale. One thing is certain so far as the manufacturing end of the business is concerned and that Is that no strengthening of prices has occurred during the last few days. Lumber has been selling st large jobbing centers at quotations which ought not to have prevailed even considering the generally disorganised condition of business. Chi- fa go and New York have been the most noteworthy examples of the Inevitable result of turning any market into a general dumping ground., Fortunately, however, the worst of these conditions lo not seem to have effected the coun try at large, being somewhat closely confined to a few centers. Production rontinues to average below normal and there Is a substantial outlook for fur (her curtailment during, tha summer," Cight Traini Service Cnr- nival Week. . ; ? The' Oregon Electric Railway company ' fin arranged for a special train to leave . their -Front and Jefferson streets depot, Portland, at 10:10 o'clock p. m. on Tues day,. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and " Saturday nights of -carnival week; , This ' train will run to Balem, stopping at all intermediate stations. The additional train will be a great convenience to the people of Salem and other points oh hte line, as it will permit of tbem remain ing In Portland to witness the evening rarnivnl attractions and return home the rame night. v Members cf the city executive board listened to an appeal for a new city jail yesterday afternoon in a communi cation from Police Captain Moore, who stated that tha city is overrun by hobos who have taken advantage of the oity's Inability to imprison tha large throng ei tramps tnai arrive amiy in m vuy. Captain Moore's report was adopted ana referred to the council. The report of captain uoore was thorough in regard to detail and set forth the fact that DrODerly to accom modate the ever-Increasing horde . of tramps the city Jail and rockplle at Kelly Butte should be greatly increased. To order the tramps out of town is not considered the proper way to solva the problem, according to -Captain Moore. He stated in his communication that the tramps regard Portland as a place where they may congregate and be free from molestation by the police. ,- Chief of Polios Grltsmacher also sent In a communication yesterday afternoon, asking authority to rent several rooms near tne police station ior me bvuuiii mnriiitinn - of the cltv detective force. Chief Grltsmacher represented in - his letter that tha police station is too small for the large number of officers and heads of the . various . reliefs. He said that with the' present arrangement privacy' In handling cases is impossible and hence asked for the .additional rooma. The board gave the authority to rent a suits near the station.

This country Is peculiarly adapted to alfalfa growing; cutting from four to seven tons per acre In three to four crops, depending on whether-. Irrigated or not. Other grasses are to be found In abundance. The mild winters, late spring and early fall rains make dairy ing and general stock raising very profitable here, inasmuch as tha owners of tha larger herds depend very largely on free range tributary to Ashland, at points beginning seven miles from the city. As an example, there is a ranch Of 060 acres with springs, running wa ter, half fenced, large bariw etcw 1 miles from olty, that can be bought for $10 per acre. - There are thousands of acres of free range immediately ad joining.

PEOPLE OR PARTY W. S. U'Ben Points Out Dif ference Between JPledged . and Unpledged Men. Oregon City, May 2. To the Editor of Tha Journal Tne most Important question before the . voters of - Oregon next Monday Is this: Shall the people Of, Oregon aleot their United States sen ator at their general election, or shall he be elected by the political parties at their nominating election? If the people , elect the senator at the general election, tney win own mm ana he wiu serve them first and his party second. If any political party elects the senator at - the nominating eleotion, he will be owned by and will serve that party first and the people second. The question is fundamental. Who shall be supreme? - All the people, or tne poijjicai parties, in cnoosmg the highest office in tha state? Every man's vote for members of the legisla ture next Monday Is his answer to that question, and it is of infinitely greater Importance than - his vote for United States senator. ; Whether be votes for Cake or Chamberlain, the senator Is only for six years, but every vote for a statement No. 1 candidate for the legislature is a vote to give the people. for all time, the very great new power oi cnooBing tneir united states senator. Every candidate for the legislature who has signed Statement No. 1 is worthy of the confidence of all the peo ple because he stands for American principles of government. Any candidate for .the legislature who has not signed Statement No. 1 is un worthy to be trusted by any of the peo ple ana should be unanimously de feated regnrdess of his party name or f ersonal Integrity, because he demands he special privilege for his political party, and thereby declares that he does not understand and does not believe In the American principle that all power In government oelongs to the people. It Is all important that the members of the legislature of Oregon shall ac knowledge publicly, in advance of their election, tnat the people or uregon are masters in their government, and that the members of the legislature, as such officers, will obey the people's instruc tions without question or hesitation., : ; ': ,h ..,,..;.. .qxyir. a u-ren.. .
