BEACH
SEASON
NEARLY FINISHED;
BUSINESS, HEAVY
North Beach Has Had More Than
Ordinary Patronage; River Lines
Mi Have Been Kept on Jump.
Beach travel has practically ended.
School will" open September 7 and
nearly all the kiddies and maters
are at home. Steamer travel be
tween Portland, Astoria and Megler
has fallen off to the regular traffic
and only a few belated cottagers
remain.
In all, the season has been better
than in the past four years, according
to steamboat agents. The season opened
low, but the several hot week in July
and August Uxed the capacity of all
steamer lines leading to the beaches.
The return rush has been as bad and
on many occasions the passenger limit
of boats has been taxed to the limit
and passengers left on the dock.
The steamers Astorian and Georgiana
have had a succes&ful season and the
O-W. R. ft N. boats to Megler for
North beach transfer have been taxed
to the limit. It haa been years since
the North beach traffic has been so
heavy as during the present season,
and the steamers Hassale and Harvest
Queen were compelled to pass -up way
business in erder to handle through
trade.
During the past week the upbound
business has been exceptionally heavy,
due to the fact that passengers had not
round trip tickets and the advance in
rai rates On August 26 set the tide of
travel to the water lines.

DASHES HOPES OF
MATRON CUTOFF
Project Impracticable Because of
Excessive Costs at Present,
Says Southern Pacific Official.
Hopes of Southern Oregon for the
completion of the Natron cotoff con
necting Klamath Falls with Portland
via Eugene and the main Una of the
Southern Pacific must assume th
psychology of deferred longings, so
fan as the Southern Pacifio company
is concerned.
"A railroad with net earnings limited
to 6 per cent is in no position to pay
7 per cent interest on money spent for
extension of trackage." declared Julius
Kruttschnitt, chairman of the executive
committee of the company, in an Inter
view Saturday night, and he made it
very plain that the Southern Pacific
has no intention of indulging in that
sort of financnig for the benefit of
Klamath Falls or of Portland, whose
interest is as great,
Kruttschnitt arrived from San Fran
cisco at 7:45 Saturday night, accom
panied by William Sproule, president
of the , Southern Pacific ; Paul Shoup,
vice president ; J. H. Dyer, general man
ager ; F. I Burckhslter, assistant gen
eral manager, and W. H. Klrkbrtde, en
gineer of maintenance of way. Krutt
schnitt hails from New York and the
9ther officials make their headquarters
at San Francisco. The party are out
on an inspection trip. They left Stan
Francisco Thursday morning.
LIKES IK GOOD SHAPE
"I have never seen the properties of
the Southern Pacific coast lines in bet
ter shape," said Kruttschnitt, "and must
compliment President Sproule and other
officials of the company on the splendid
work they have accomplished under
rather trying conditions. Sunday morn
ing we will go over the Tillamook line
and return here Sunday night The
TUlamooe line is one of the company's
best paying branches and traffic, espe
claily m dairy products, . Is Increasing
atat rapid rateV "
The only construction work planned
for this summer n Oregon consists of
four leng sidings ori the main line of
the com pai y's tracks on the east side of
the Siskiyou mountains,' according to
Kruttschnitt. These sidings will aver
age 4300 feet in length and will prove
a great aid to through freight traffic
over the Southern Pacifio main line, re
lieving the congestion on the Oregon
side of the range.
SHASTA LIMITED DOSE FOB
The schedule for winter passenger
service over the Sou there - Pacific, now
being worked out. makes no provision
for the return of the Shasta Limited
on the run from Portland to San Fran
cisco, according to president Sproule.
The extra fare Shasta, Limited was
the poorest paying train on the South
ern Pacific" said Sproule, "and it Is
the present policy of the company to
raise the standard of passenger service
to a common level of excellence rather
than spend extra money; on trains de
luxe. i , '
Approximately 130.000,000 has been ap
propriated by the Southern Pacific com
pany for new equipment on Pacific
coast lines. Orders have been placed
for 100 locomotives, S400 freight cars.
4000 refrigerator cars, three diners and
a number of new passenger coaches.
Oregon fir lumber will be used almost
exclusively In the manufacture of the
freight oars and refrigerators, and a
large portion of the order has been
placed witrO the Pacifio Car aV Foundry
company in Portland.
The Southern Pacific 1 official will
spend several days In Portland and vi
cinity before returning to Stan Fran
cisco, and the head of the executive
committee stated - that he would take
advantage of his visit here to renew
reild acquaintance and take trips over the
ttity boQleard8 and scenic highways.

New Business Seems Destined to
Remain at Low Ebb Until New
Freight Tariffs Are Modified.
Application of emergency freight
rate increases on August 29 re
sulted in a heavy slump In rail or
ders at mills of the West Coast Lum
bermen's association. According to
the weekly bulletin of the associa
tion only 991 cars of new business
were received by 124 mills in West
ern Oregon aad "Western Washington
contributing to the report, for the
week ending August IS. This
amount was 1300 cars less than nor
mal and 800 cars .less than the
weekly average since the car short
age became acute.
Apparently new business is destined
to remain at a lew ebb until transcon
tinental railroads Inaugurate contem
plated modification's of the new freight
tariff. There have been many cancel
lations of old business because of the
Increased freight rata and the volume
of unshipped orders on the books of the
mills dropped to 87 cars.
Of the 992 cars of new business ac
cepted approximately IS per cent goes
te non-competitive territory and of the
remaining 35 per cent comparatively lit
tle is for shipment to the heavy consum
ing Eastern markets, where West coast
long haul comes In competition with
short haul producers.
Production fer the week at the 124
mills was 74.I2S.164 feet or 15 per cent
below'normal. Orders Included 11.0S6.835
feet of cargo business and S, 847, 185 feet
of local business, the total being 41,104,
(70 feet. Orders were 53 per cent below
normal production, and 44 per cent be
low actual production. The drive of
shippers to get old business moving be
fore the effective date of the freight
rate increase resulted in loading 1608
cars, being 650 cars under normal due
to car shortage.
Total shipments for the week were
65.13S.S90 feet, of which 12.663.S89 feet
moved by waiter and 4.230,000 feat moved
by team or auto truck. Shipments ex
ceeded orders 67 per cent, and were 13
per cent below production. Unshipped
orders in domestic cargo trade, totaled
79.88t.906 feet and in export cargo
trade (7,127,931 feet

SITALS TO COMPETE
Coos and Tillamook counties, rivals in
cheese and dairy products, have sent

Other counties which will compete for
honors at this year's fair Include Ben
ten, Linn, Multnomah, Morrow, Clatsop,
Lincoln and Polk. Although space in
the county exhibit building Is becoming
cramped because of the unusual number
of displays. Secretary Lea-baa promised

RELIEF FROM 8-CENT
FARE MAY BE HAD
(Cenrinned Frtua Pace One)
these burdens to he "unreasonable and
amounting to double taxation."
These "burdens" which consist ef
franchise taxes, car licenses, free trans
portation for city employes, paving
charges and "bridge rentals were, on
recommendation of the state commis
sion, placed up to a vote of the people
of Portland at a special election May
21 and rejected.
VOID IF TJSRKAS05 ABLE
In advising the commission that it
has power "to pass upon the reasonable
ness of the provisions of the street rail
way franchise," Brown adds that "if you
find that they are unreasonable, then
by operation of law they become void
to the extent they are found unreason
able." When the state sought to regulate
rates by compulsion, a new order of
things was brought into existence,"
Brown's opinion reads. "Regardless of
the rgtes prescribed by franchise, the
publie was henceforth to pay only a
reasonable rata for the service which
it received and the utilities were pro
hibited from charging unreasonable rates
regardless of their contracts with the
municipalities of the state.
REASONABLE RETURN ASSURED
"In the past it has been the custom
of your commission, in arriving at the
rate to be charged by an utility, to de
duct from its gross revenue the amount
which the utility has been compelled
to pay to comply with franchise provis
ions and this expense is by such pre
ceedure transferred from the utility te
that portion of the public which pa
tronises the utility. In other words,
under the old system, whatever was paid
to a municipality or whatever outlay
the company was put to to live up to the
terms of its franchise, came directly
out of the utility's treasury and the
utility had to be contented with what
waa left. Under the present system, tha
utility does not worry about these mat
ters. It demands that it receive net to
itself a reasonable return on the value of
its property used in serving the public;
and whatever financial burdens are
placed upon the utility as a. condition of
occupying the streets are passed on to
the public or such part of the public
aa is required for one reason or another
to contribute to the maintenance of the
utility.
COST SERYICE LSTE5DED
jtWaa never contemplated by the
publie utility act that the burdens as
punted by public utilities as a condition
for permission to occupy city streets
was to be accepted and borne by the
public, or a portion of the public,' re
gardless of the reasonableness of such
franchise provisions. The vrry purpose
and Intent of the pifblle utility act was
that the public should receive service at
oost. plus a reasonable return to the
utility on value ef its property devoted
to public use. ' - - -

this Item of expense is borne by those
whe are served by the utilities. In ad
ditlon to these taxes those who either
from choice or by reason of circum
stances are forced to ride on the street
cars, should not be compelled to bear
any more ef the general expense of the
city administration than many others
who never, or seldom ever, use the street
cars, and then, perhaps, only in an
emergency. Every property owner and
every individual In Portland is benefited
by the city government and should bear
his' portion of tha expanses.
''Arty burdens imposed upon public
utilities by municipal autherities not es
sential to and made neoeaaary by the
operation of its system either contributes
to the reduction of the general expenses
of the city or relieves some adjoining
property owner ef some burden which
he would otherwise have to bear.
JIEA Of BELIEF
"There is always the command ef the
law that the service shall be adequate
and the rate reasonable. The utility,
by the public utility act, is barred from
cleaminc that it cannot furnish adequate
service because of its financial condi
tion, for it is granted the right tCLappeal
to the commission for reasonable rates
and the commission is not only given
power to grant, but Is made the manda
tory duty of the commission to eee that
the rates are reasonable.
"On the other hand, the legislature
saw that the utilities might be chgrg
lng and collecting reasonable rates and
yet not be in a position to furnish ade
quate service because of tolls exacted
by municipal authorities. After pro
vidsg In section 6 of the act that
the commission Is vested with power to
supervise and regulate every publio-
utility in this state, and te do all
things necessary and convenient to ex
ercise such power and Jurisdiction, the
power of municipalities was prescribed
and limited by section 61, with Juris
diction granted to tha publiq serylos
commission to inquire into the reasqq
ableneas of franchise provisions.
SO EXCUSE IS LEFT
"These different provision ef tha util
ity act forever removed any excuse
which any utility might have for fail
ure to furnish adequate service ; for,
in addition te the right to demand and
receive reasonable rates, the utility is
expressly given the right to call to
the commission's attention any unrea
sonable burden placed on it by
municlDatitv as a condition for: rer
mission to. occupy the streets, suid whin
this matter Is called to the commis
sion's attention it is required te in
quire into the reasonableness of the
municipal regulation complained of,
and If It finds the regulation unrea
eonable It is to become void."
Pointing out the far-reaching effect
ef the public utility act, the opinion de
clares that "It is designed to require
publie utilities to perform the function
for which they exist, and 4hat, In order
to accomplish this, vast power Is given
to the publie service commission and It
is 'left unhampered in seeing that the
requirements of the law are carried
out without obstruction by anything
which may be done by the municipal
authorities."
