A complaint against the Southern Pacific railroad and the Pacific Rail way & Navigation company, made by the Oregon Kansas Timber company and argued before the state railroad commission last June, was decided against the timber company in a de cision given yesterday. The company charged the transpor tation systems with asking an unfair rate for hauling logs between Coch ran and Oswego, pointing out that the rate asked between Cochran and Os wego, a distance of 54 miles, was $2.40, whereas the rate from Silverton to Oswego was $1.50 for a distance of 45 miles. Officials of the timber company al leged that the difference between the two rates was due to discrimination. ONRUSH OF CZAR'S 1 HOST IS BLOCKED BY Frimroaa De&lea Charges. George H.

October IS,, as a day for general discussion of the advantages of the steamer line to operate be tween Astoria and the towns of the upper Columbia. The plan was pro posed at the recent meeting of the Columbia & Snake River Waterways association In Spokane. It includes a line of steamboats, fi nanced probably by a public fund, and the promotion of permanently con structed feeder highways leading from the landings. It is said that the sav ings On the transportation of wheat from the upper river, to the mouth of the river would more than compensate subscriptions which may be asked of the wheat farmers to finance the line. FIERCE GUNFIRE (Continued from Rage One.) edging, spine-chilling, whistling screech overhead. The shell passed 500 to 1000 feet above us, and did not end Its flight less than 2000 feet beyond where we stood, but this did not prevent me from ducking, which gave my "officer-chaperons" a chance to laugh. Many shells passed before I lost my almost irresistible desire to hug the ground. Finally a soldier with a telephone in stalled on an empty ammunition box began talking and copying notes, which the commander of the battery canned hastily. At the word of comiuod, a lieutenant galloped along the line, giv ing the varying ranges to the different battery commanders. The gun crews leaped to their posi tions, and our battery went into action. It fired for 15 minutes. Then there was a halt and more telephoning, end ing with orders for a new set of ranges for some of the guns and a resumption of firing. Cannot Find Masked Battery. In four days of fighting the Rus sians failed to locate this masked bat aery. Only chance shell and sirapnel burst within the zone of danger. From this battery, my "officer chaperons' 'still accompanying ' me, I followed the field telephone to a point where a half dozen officers were watching the effect of the German fire and directing it. From the summit of a hill I got my first view of fighting that will go down in history as "The Battle of Wirballen." The line stretched away to the left aa far as field glasses would carry, in a great, irregular semicircle. Russian Guns Destroy Tillage. As I watched the entire fire of the Russian artillery seemed to be direct ed on a village In a low plain 2000 yards to tbe northward. This village was already deserted, having been flattened by the deluge of steel and Iron. The ruins were burning. Half an hour later the general ad vance against the German center was to be launched and apparently the Russians wa.nted to destroy the vil lage lest German guns be concealed by it. Thus far I had not seen the enemy. From our position, slightly behind the German flank, it was comparatively easy to trace our own line, but the Russians' general line was hard to determine. Yesterday, for the first time since Sunday, when the battle started, the Russians attempted to storm the Ger man center. All of Sunday and Monday the op posing artillery hammered at the trenches. Advance of the Russians. The Russian ma.rkma.ns hip was bad, but 1 was told that a Russian aero plane had reconnoitered the German position at dawn yesterday. I saw no aeroplanes in flight. Twice, under cover of their field artillery, the Russian infantry ad vanced in force yesterday. Twice It wan repulsed. Now another advance was being attempted. At a number of points along their line, where their trenches were screened from German observation, the soldiers tumbled out, rushed for ward, took advanced positions and awaited the formation of a new, ir regular battery line. They dragged dozens or rapia lire guns along by hand- Reserves took semi-advanced positions. Always the Russian shrapnel rained upon the German trenches. The Rus sians' moves were communicated to the German center. The reserves moved closer and the German rule fire practically ceased. Mowed by German Guns. Finally the Russian line leaped for ward, deployed in. open order, and emerged into the open. One, two. three juid in some places four or five skirmish lines, separated at intervals of 20 tn 50 vards. advanced. As soon as they came within the German range they began almost im mediately to wilt and thin. Others advanced, more under cover. The smoke of burning villages pro tected some regiments. The line continued rushing, paus ing, firinsr. advancing. The German artillery shelled the mass. Shrapnel burst above the lines and tore sickening gaps. The Russians did not stop. It was a maddening spectacle. My heart bnat like a triDhammer. It was the first time I had sensed the intoxica tion of battle, and I learned the secret of the smiles on the race or tne aeaa. Then the Machine Guns. The Slavs came on. Russian battle- flatr aDDeared at the head of their front ranks. The advance line thinned and a sec ond came up. Then there was a new sound. First I saw a sudden melting of the line. Men fell literally like dominoes in row. I heard the staccato rattle or machine guns, and knew the reason. The Russians had nesitatea, Dewii dered. Mounted officers dashed along their lines, urging the men forward. 1 saw a dozen riderless horses gal loping about. The Route of the Russians. This crucial period of the charge lasted about a minute. Then, with the withering fire raking them, the Rus sian lines broke. Panic ensued. The Slavs turned and fled. After this assault bad failed the battle resumed normally. The dead were everywhere. They were not piled up, but they were strewn over acres. They were squirm ing, writhing, tossing figures, too. They were the wounded. All who were able to stumble or crawl were work ing their way toward their own lines. Apparently hundreds were denied this hope, and were doomed to die, instead, in the open, with their wounds un dressed, until night permitted the hos pital corps to rescue them. After the charge we retired to the rear of the German lines and found the nurses and surgeons bringing in our wounded. They were compara tively few. German Reserves Com laughing. After a tour of the German rear, where we saw the reserves, we moved up directly behind the trenches. The artillery duel was again In prog ress. A shell set fire to a farmhous directly In front of us, as we ap proached. While we waited to see whether this was a chance shot, or If the Russians had the range, a regiment of young re serves passed on their way to the trenches. They were signing and laughing all but one non-commissioned officer, who, advocates of the notorious Bean-Brooke ferty. thinking him second in the race, evidently afraid nobody rema'ned to t bill which made it a crime to subscribe But as the hopelessness of Laffertys fight, asked if any Russians were left to Statement One.

This showed plainly enough what the staff officers gesticulations meant, and we made a rush down hill to cover. A moment later a shell burst at the ex act spot where we had been standing. As we worked our way slowly i through dense woods, shells shrieked constantly overhead the Russians try ing to locate the German ammunition train. At sunset the fighting suddenly ceased, as if by agreement, and the work of removing the dead and wound ed began. It was rushed as rapidly as possible, and within an hour the Ger man trenches had been eleard in readiness lor tbe next day s battle. Aa I write I can see occasional flashes on the scene of tbe Russian charge. They are electric flash lights In the hospital workers' hands.

Earlier in the campaign the asser tion was sometimes heard that the two leading candidates were McArthur and Lafferty. but this view is no longer entertained by those familiar with the facts. Registration -figures tell a sig nificant story. They show a - Demo cratic gain since 1912 that few have realized. Despite the fact that since the erec tion of 1912 women have been admit ted to the ballot, the Republican reg istration in the county, to date, shows a gain of only 30 per cent, while the Democratic registration has increased in the same period over 120 per cent. Two years ago the Republicans out numbered the Democrats by nearly five to one. Now the proposition is mater ially less than tAree to one- There are now over 82,000 voters in the district. In ;the primary last May 30,706 votes were cast for the four candidates for the Republican congres sional nomination- Neither McArthur nor Lafferty received so much as 50 per cent of the vote cast- McArthur had the meager total of $14,100 and Lafferty had hut 12,112. McArthur might still find hope in the large preponderance of Republican voters in the district, were it not that an extraordinary proportion of them are bitterly opposed to his candidacy.
