Advocates Purchase of Locks.

. have been passed by the transportation
committee of the chamber of commerce.
The bill la now hanging in the balance
and its fate will be decided at a com
mittee meeting tomorrow. 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, - . .
"E Is resolved, by the transportation
committee of the chamber of commerce:
"First That the Multnomah delega
tion In the state legislature be request
ed to oppose any measure having for its
purpose the withdrawal or restoration
to the general fund of the appropriation
heretofore made by the legislature of
me state 01 Oregon or ssuo.uoo to aid
In the purchase of the locks at Oregon
City.
"Second That said delegation be re-
?uyted to support any measure having
oi Its object the extension of the time
In which this fund will be available for
the use and purposes Intended by the
original act arjoroDriatlnir said monev.
'Third The secretary of this com
mittee be requested to furnish a copy
of these resolutions to each member of

Salem, Or.. 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

solicited. A committee has already
been appointed for th purpose and ac

publican senators who are antagonistic
to the president, especially In bis forest
reserve policy.
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.

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

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. One

Injured Wall Coasting.
Several accidents have ' already re

down th Woodstock hill. - He was
brought to the city on a Woodstock car,
taken off on Yamhill street where the
