'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

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.

Creameries at Ashland Were
Awarded Gold Medals at

Jackson county, Oregon, . Is rapidly
coming to the front among tha leading
dairying counties in the state. Somere-
markaDie racoras- nave ' recently oeen
made hy tha oreamerles In that county,
Tha Commercial club of Ashland ' has
Issued the following bulletin, giving
statistics and results of operating
creameries in that city and in other
portions of - Jackson -county:
"Ashland has the' largest of four
creameries of the county. In 1905 the
Ashland Creamery was awarded the
gold medal for butter by the Lewis and
Clark exposition. In 1907 this creamery
csid out 161.000 for butter fat at an
average prlcp of 29 He per pound. This
was an increase ever lvu or ao,uuo.
"The average dairy cow tn and near
Ashland is producing from $80 to 190
per year, instances being given where
a single - cow has produced In butter
fat 1130 In .one year.'.1-' i i--..:'
"Alfalfa as dairy feed la worth from
117.60 to $21.00 per ton in butter fat,
depending upon the season ot the year.
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. The owners of the "Cove
ranch.1'- 1 0 miles from Ashland, are
milking It cows.
"Dairying ia to a great extent com
bined with fruit growing. Kale ia a
popular dairy feed. This Is grown be
tween rows of fruit trees and produces
between IS and 60 tons per acre. Over
half the patrons of the local creamery
are engaged in. fruit growing.'

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., :
