Tbe commit tee also , recommended that an appro priation be made bjr the state legisla ture for the Oregon railway commission t fight the advance of transcontinental freight rates mad by the railroads, this , month, ., The primary reason for the meeting was to near tne repon 01 ino iuoiw mlttee appointed to examine into the re- , cent advance In freight rates. The sub committee has been going Into the de tails of the new rates carefully ever since the first of the traffic was re ceived in Portland, and have loosed into the question not only from the side of . the shippers, but from that of the rail roads as welL The effect of the ad- ' Yanoes was contrasted with the rea sons given by railroad men as to wny they are necessary and the financial re ports for the past year of the transcon tinental lines were also gone over care- xuily. . . Advances Ax Mot Justified. " After studying the rate situation the members or tue subcommittee unani mously agreed that the advances are not Justified and that furthermore they rlace an unnecessary additional tax on be commerce and products of this coun- trv. This is particularly true of the . varying Industries affected. It is these i advances especially that the commit tee thinks the state should protect Us shippers against. The full report of the subcommittee will be made public later, but that resolution regarding the fighting of the advance by the state Is as follows: . . , "Resolved, that the Multnomah dele . gatlon In the state legislature be re quested to support a sufficient appro priation permitting the railroad commis sion of Oregon to contest strongly be fore the interstate commerce commis sion the recent advances In freight rates - on natural products of Oregon.'-' rmtaH of looks. Another matter- of general Interest discussed at the meeting was that of the purchase by the state of the looks at Oregon City, "The committee Is op- Iiosed to tn'suggestion mat me icgis ature refund or withdraw the $300,000 appropriation for the purchase of the locks. The resolution adopted concern ing this matter Is as follows: - Whereas, the transportation commit tee ef the chamber of commerce be lieves that the opening of the Willam ette river to free navleatlon and its Im provement will to of vast benefit to the people of the Willamette valley and to the city of Portland, and. to the state of Oregon, .now, therefore, - . .

FEWER LAWS THE BETTER Congress Sticks to This Pro gram and Wrangles With the President. , (Called Press Leased Wire.) Washington, Jan. 0. A program based on the proposition advanced by the leaders at th beginning of the ses sion that there la not anv need for ad ditional laws was closely adhered to by congress the past week. The special secret service messaee from the presi dent was pitched Into the arena Monday. interest then centered in the wont or the Perkins special committee until Friday, when th heavy artillery of the house bombarded the executive mansion and met with a quick return in the puoiicauon or tne president s letter re garding Senator Tillman.

Jan, . Th first step toward th organization of the Salem Fruit union was taken today at a meet-. Ing of the horticulturists of Marlon county. Th union will be formed after plans adopted from the Hood River and Wenatche organisations. It will be in corporated and will have for its primary purpose th packing and preparing for sale of all kinds of fruit The union will have charge of virtually all of the fruit raised In th valley, Including ap- Jles, cherries and prunes, and the nl orm pack to be adopted. Uniform pack ers will b hired to do the packing. - It la also proposed to build a cannery at Salem for th purpose of canning fruit as well as selling green fruit. To tkia ni h assistance of the North west Fruitgrowers' association will be solicited. A committee has already been appointed for th purpose and ac tual operations have begun for taking fare of th fruit during th approach ing season. Much Interest Is manifested In the movement and it Is believed in all quarter that it will b as great a success as similar movements have been at Hood River and other points.

At the conclusion of Tillman's speech th question will arts as to what ac tion. If any, th senate should take in th matter. Th course to be persued has not been determined. It is quite likely, however, that the senate will appoint a committee to investigate and report on the facts. This responsibility will be placed on the special committee, consisting of Hemenway of Indiana, Clay of Georgia and Oallinger of Ver mont, which has already been appointed to consider the general subject of the activities of the secret service. The probability, however. Is that a separate committee will handle the Tillman case. If that Is done It will have called to its attention the following charges against the South Carolinian: That he used his official position to further his private Interests; that on February 11, 1908, he arose In his place on the floor of the senate and after denouncing what lie termed the unau thorised use of his name in connection with the Oregon land deal, declared pos itively that b had not bought any western lands and hd not undertaken to do so, whereas only four days before he had actually sent an order to his agents to purchase for him eight quar ter sections, th payment for which was to be determined upon later; that In denouncing Bryan R. Dorr of Port land a a swindler he did an Innocent man a grave injustice; that In using his official frank for private corre spondence he violated a statute which carries with it a penalty of $300 for eacn orientis. If Senator Tillman Is found a-ulltv nn these counts, censure by the senate would oa tne muaest xorm or punish ment that could be recommended. More llKeiy, it is thou Kiit. the recommpnea tion would be that he be expelled from tne senate. SOME FIGURES ON FUNDS SET ASIDE FOR THE SLEUTHS (Cuffed Pi-ms teased Wire.)

There are only 6,000,000 1 gallons left in tne main reservoir on Mount Tabor, and all because the peo ple are allowing tne water to run ait ntgnt to prevent tne pipes ireezmg. Keavy rln Provided. "There is a city ordinance against this waste and a penalty of $100 is pro vided for eaoh violation. But our in spectors are powerless to discover any violations. If an inspector calls at a house, shows his badge and asks to see the faucets the owner tells him to wait awhile, and when he is admitted the water has been shut off. As soon as the inspector's back Is turned the water Is again turned on. "There are nearly 85,000 separate water consumers, and it is easy to see that with even half of these disregard ing the ordinances a water famine must Inevitably come. "If people will take the trouble to drain the pipes every night by means of : stop and waste cocks In the basements there will be no danger of the pipes f reeling, and what Is of vital moment I do danger of a great fire. . I earnestly ask all citizens to heed this warning." Deliver Tail Today. I With a view to trying to prevent a 1 fuel famine as serious as the water famine threatens to be, the fuel dealers ! of the city have decided to deliver coal j and wood all day today. They are rr behind on their orders on account I of the difficulty which the drivers ex perience In making deliveries through ! the snow. Most deliveries made are . small. A man who ordinarily would i not think of buvlnn less than on to I five cords of wood may think himself lucky now if he gets half a cord to tide him over the cold snap. The milk man also has his troublea Tt Is no Joke to drive a wagon at1 night along the snow piled streets, jump off at every other house or so, clamber : over a snow pile rrom one to three feet i high, and leave a bottle of milk or cream on the doorstep of some house holder who Is peacefully snoring be-J neath warm blankets or thanking his lu.ky stars that he does not have to be out in the cold. The bright idea of one dairyman re sulted In tying up one of the streetcar lines ror some time ana depriving a lot of housewives of their morning eup-j ply of milk. He took the body of hls! milk wagon off the wheels and put lti on runners and started gaily out to make his deliveries. Everything went well until the runners of the Impro vised sleigh struck the tracks of a streetcar line. The sleigh skidded wild ly and overturned and driver and milk bottles cluttered up the air. MUk Bottles In the Air. tVhen th atmosphere was cleared of milk bottles and language, it was found that a few doxen quarts of milk had been spilled on the tracka This quickly froze and the first streetcar that came along was unable to pass. The wheels buzzed and revolved rapidly and the motorman made remarks, but the car failed to make any progress. The lib eral us of sand finally got the car over the slippery place but the milk man had reason to cry over his spilled milk. Icicles ar a rare sight In Portland, but there are plenty of them now.

Bitter complaints ar being mad by th unfortunate patrons of the street car system against th failure ot th company to provide any method of heat ing tne cars, a lew or the cars on some of the suburban lines have elec tric heaters, but only a few of them. A young man and woman coming in on a Monta villa car last night solved th problem of keeping their feet warm. Evidently they came from back In New England, for they used the old fash ioned method In vogue in th country districts there of putting hot bricks under their feet. They sat In the end of the car, apparently warm and com fortable, while the other passengers shivered and stamped their benumbed feet and looked enviously at th bricks.

PROVISION PRICES ARE INCREASED BY THE SNOW STORM - Fresh eggs at CO and f S cents dozen In th rtsil market and SO cents in th wholesale market and not a qusj-ter enough to supply the demand at that Is the result of th cold snep upon th Portland market. Egg receipts hav been scant of late, and th hens can not jbe Induced to work even quarter time. every day simply because the price In the stockyards is advancing by great bounds., Not only Is meat very high, but a famine threatens unless weather con- i dltlons change soon. The butchers who usually keep their beef in cold houses for a week in order to prime their conrll- i tion, hav been forced to kill th cattle on flay and sell them the next b'ecaus of the lack of a surplus In storage.

The consumer Is being hit another blow by the cold weather, for If you'll take second look you will find that onion and ether vegetable price ar mounting higher every day, and it's very hard to secure what you want even at the advanced prices.

Mr. Josselyn, for your assurance, but if you had been on th car I was on last night, or I mean aii yesieraay aiiernoon- ana evening, trying to get to St Johns, you would think very differently. . . v In the first dace we only had to wait from one to two hours for a car going to town, then when we started back home thU Is what we did: We saw a car standing at Second and Alder street at t o'clock, the second car since noon. It was already full,, but w thought It j wouta a cinuit ior s;ei noma 'oeior night, so w got on th car and waited, waited and w-a-l-t--d, for th car to start After a while th conductor cam In with th news that "there is a car off th track and It may-b an hour or two bfor they get it en," but there Is a car w oan tax from Third and Washington, and this is his warning: "It i an Iceberg." a without a heater, which, by th way. Is very com mon on all line In Portland but ven with thl warning we thought perhaps we would get home aoonsr tnan to wait unm inay got tnat car on tn tracic We went fairly well until w crossed th steel bridge, then our real trouble began snow on th track cars off th track.
