Loses Rate Case
Railroad Commiaalon Decide a Com

Southern Pacific Company.
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.

Financing Steamer

The people of Spokane have set aside
Tuesday,. 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

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. He was the willing candidacy grew more apparent and as

Mad Rush for Cover.
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.

what these flashes reveal there In the

tafferty's Chance Remote. i
Congressman Lafferty Is running as j
an independent after being defeated In '
the Republican primary. While he has j
some personal following It cannot be
regarded as sufficient to give him any j
real chance of election. j
! As stated, the total registration H ;
already in excess of 82,000 and the lar- j
gest vote ever given to Lafferty by j
Multnomah county was in 1912 when
he had but 16,783. At various times
Lafferty has posed both as a Progress
ive and as a Republican but be is now
j running In opposition to the nominees
I of both these parties. He has there- .

Damoc ratio Gain Shows.
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.
Enemy of Oregon System.
McArthur has been identified with
machine politics ever since he was old
enough to vote. He has been at all
times the enemy of the Oregon system
and of popular government. When
speaker of the house in the state leg
islature he was one of the strongest

majority against the greedy few. Re-H
member that the total wealth of the
United States today is $120,000,000,000,
or $12,000 for each man, woman an

own 70 per cent of this wealth, leav
ing only 80 per cent for the remaining
99,800,000 people. In other words, two
tenths of 1 per cent of the population
now own 70 per cent of our total Na

dare to serve the public are to be cru

the dismal verdict of the forthcoming
