The young women came into this port Yesterday on the learner' Graf Walder '' see as sienrage passengers. They were in charge of Mrs, Frieda Walberg, wlte of the owner of an Oregon sheep ranch, 'jit was only five years ago that she ' . rime across for the first time, wearing 1 wooden shoes. She took them right out - to Oregon with her, and the Oregon . sheep farmer soon succumbed to her charms..- ''' Brave Tow Hundred. ' ' Mrs. Walberg could well have come across first cabin; but she preferred to . lie with the young women, many of ; whom were her friends. It was her good luck that caused the brave 400 to ; try their fortune in the far west. Af ter Mr. "Walberg learned English and irot well acquainted with, her husband, Che confided to him her plan tit bring- i Ing over 800 or 400 young German wo J men for the lonely bachelors of Oregon and he quickly gave assent to her plan. ,8o she hurried across the ocean to Jtor native village near Hamburg and , gnthered tip the best looking unmar ried women for miles around.

Having rarefully gone Into every de tail ft the advance In raciflc coast freight rates that went Into effect Jan , uary 1, the transportation committee of the chamber of commerce na placed a recapitulation of Us findings in a print ed report for the Information of the public Most extraordinary figures showing ' ,1.. ani.n:n(.a t.f th ran rln oneratlnor ,in Oregon ai -acruored Jn this report From IStfS to l;ott net earnings ot the Vnion Taciuc Increased from 2, 43S,0J to $4.03,066. Kven mora Inter esting are the atatlstlca comparing the earnings of the O. R. N. In 1MJ ' Mils road operated 1059 miles of track, jts gross earnings were $413M?. tha operating enpenses were t'i.ZiB.xlis, the er cent of operating expenses to earn fhgs 6 and the net earnntgs $1,884,686. In 190S the mileage was 124, the gross parnings were $14,119,704, the total op erating expenses J.J07.476, the Per cent iof operating expenses to earnings, 1.4 and the net earnings 18.842,229. - In othe words, the net income from the O. R. N. alone last year was enough to build all the extensions that . have been asked of Harrtman in Oregon and that have been delayed because I; an alleged lack of funds. . , Answers tha Railroad. . Having demonstrated tne enormous Income derived rrom tho Oregon roads the net income of the Southern Pa cific, for example, having Increased VIVt per cent for November the report takes up the various reasons advanced bv the railroads in palliation of their advance in rate. The claim that there has been an Increased cowt in operi- 1 tion is denied. While wages have been Increased and supplies have become more expensive, larger cars, larger trains, better roads and Increased busi- ness have more tl.an of feat these Items. ' The matter of congestion which the railroads claim has caused them to lose j money the report claims la due to the lack of proper equipment and facilities and the remedy lies not; in advancing the rates and retarding freight move ment but in doing everything possible ; to rush It along. ., The fact that the railroad la a public and not a private business Is given prominence in showing why the railroad (should be restricted to securing a fair return only on the value of its property. Taking up the matter of the advance itself the report suites that rates have ; imii nnd are continually advancing, if not In one wav. then In another. The hmim weight has been Increased iv and the constant changes being made in classifications usually work to the detriment of the Pacific coast manu facturer or jobber by restricting what v ) can ship in a canoaa to comparative ly few, articles.. ' Shows Bad Logic . The claim that the rate per ton mile that the long distance of hauls to the pacific coast would nevertheless result in these rates being Immensely proflt- rates per ton mile. .Besides instance. water' cumpeuuun, ana tonus uack are "both cited as excellent reasons why tha rate to the pacmo coast should be low. And it is claimed that should tha ad vanced rates result in Increased water nhirmenta that the railroad wilt encoun ter mora trouble than ever from trans ferring empty cars from the east to tha Pacific coast. The Justification for the high dis tributive rates in tins' territory, says. tne report, nas oeen tne low terminal rates and the low rates on our natural products eastbound. with advances In .both directions on this traffic It waa but natural to expect a reduction in dis tributive rates. If such is to be the case no notice haa been given of the issu ance of such a tariff. On the contrary me equalizing process is one or advances, not decreases. . Some of Increases. ' - Referring to the territory affected by advances in the eastbound rates a table is given showing some of the increases, among the most interesting to Oregon being an advance of 10 cents carload on cnmied goods, dried fruits, raisins, prunes and figs in sacks. The import ance in this advance ;es tn the fact that' it affects the producer and if he cannot add It to the cost. It affects him "'Irectly. The Industries most seriously affected by this increase are the f rult gruwera and tanners, the former even xiore than the latter.' The committee Hoes ..not believe It possible that the fruitgrowers, scattered all over the coun try, each raisin a limited amount - protect themselves without tha tnterveo. lion of the state. " Speaking of the possibility of public ownership of the railroads the commit ter has this to aav: ""jik "In view of tbi failure of the -Fui. ton amernlment,', H is not Improbable that the public will turn to even More lmliottl measures than have been tried jn the past. If every effort at reasonable- control and protection to ship- jers ts to le oereated. there will be rm remeay leu puonc ownership While this may be deplored, that it will tie miited sooner or later, unless the uunii in Is relieved, may he counted a cerium i y. - As for LfrgialatioD. .

Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, was presented at the Helllg last night by" E. Sothern and tne most capable company of actors seen in Port land In many a day. Every character, with the possible exception of Laertes, was played by a master of the art. Sothern-'s conception of the character of Hamlet carried, one back a quarter of a contury, when Edwin Booth was delight ing thousands or nis comryureu mm the finest delineation of Hamlet that haa Avr been seen on tha English speaking stage. The very mystery, the baffling, vital obscurity of the play ren ders it irresistibly attractive, and the play loses none of Its attractiveness" be cause of Sothern'a conception Of the character of the Danish prince. Nowhere did Shakespeare write a nobler piece of prose than the speech In which Hamlet describes to Rosen -crantx and Gulldenstern his melancholy and Sothern read these lines with an exquisite appreciation of their beauty and grandeur. In all the soliloquies, Sothern was especially strong and force ful, reaching the very height of dramat ic eloquence tn the celebrated "to be or not to be" passage. . In the acene with Ophelia where she returns his gifts, Hothern's work ws equal to that of Henry Irving, one of the greatest of Hamlets, while In the scene with the queen, where Polonlus In killed, Sothern's acting was simply superb. , , Miss Virginia Hammond, as Ophelia, gave an Ideal delineation of this tender little fragile soul. John Taylor, as Polonlus, made the best of his part and proved himself to be a capable and con-j scientlous actor. Miss Gladys Hanson, in the role of the queen, did excellent work. Erlo Blind, aa the king, and Fred erick Iewls as Horatio, were admirable, In fact It Is doubtful if so capable a companv ot plavera has ever before been seen In Portland as that supporting Mr. Sothern. Tomorrow night Mr. Sothern will pre sent Richelieu, and the engagement will clone Tuesday night with Lard Dun dreary. DEUTSCHLAND THREE H0UKS STUCK IN MUD (Beirut News by Lonrmt Leased Wire.)

WEALTH IN MICHIGAN SALT , From the Detroit News. Michigan salt manufacturers have produced ft.110,990 barrels of salt this year. This Is a few barrels less than were produced in 1007 and considerably less than was placed on the rnarket in 1808, that year's output having been 6.644,55 barrels. In 1901 the output was over 7,000,900 barrels, but the les sening of the output has not arisen from any lack of the raw material; the decline of the lumbering Interests, when wnstA steam waa used to evaDorate the brine. Is responsible for some of this. However, the production of over 900,000 tons or salt tnis year aoes not make a bad commercial showing. But this Is only a .mall part of the salt Industry of the state.. In Wayne nountv alone several thousand . people are engaged in manipulating salt brine from the ooweis or tne eartn, a tnou- sand feet or so below the surface. From the edge of Detroit to the mouth of the River Rogue, wnere tiie tsoivay com pany has Its plant, down to Wyandotte and Trenton, great salt works are send ing- their DlDes to the storehouse of the raw material the product of ages of evaporation and precipitation euid out of the brine thus procured they are mnklnr a score of products used In commerce and the arts. . The Holvay workaalone -.makes daily. 3 00 "tons : of soda ssh. used mainly by glass and soap manufacturers, to say nothing of Its tons of crown filler, and Its tons of other by products. . - About 2000 persons are employed In the Michigan salt Industry proper. Over three times the number are em ployed In the Detroit district making products of which the salt brine Is the basin.- Lnltke our coal, copaer, and iron mines, which will some gay be ex hausted. Michigan's suptuy or salt Is so extensive and so widely scattered that untold ages must eisn before there can he any apparent dnjput;on of the uppiy. .... . . . v , . -, , .v. .. .. , CHURCH SERVICES Btptlat.

The most costly wardrobe In the world beiongs, without a doubt, to the pope. , Etiquette compels htm to wenr different , garments eacn day . of the. year, and, as t.Jarly all of them are ornamented with rich and rare gems, no millionaire could hope to purchase them, even if a value could be placed on them. The pope's little skull caps are of the finest silk, while his em broidered slippers of velvet are gorge ous to look at Still more costly are his gloves, made of white wool, em broidered with fine pearls in the shape of a cross. A special herd of 60 sheep is kept, from which all the papal woolen garments are manufactured. The surplices are of the most valuable and beautiful lace, while one long cape, the "cappa bagna," which Is rarely worn, hangs straight from the should ers, and literally gleams from top to bottom with gold and precious stones. The rings, too, wich the pope wears are priceless, containing as . they do many stones of matchless quality. " 50x100 Feet .
