Dodson said that renuesLs - had been - made that the railroads equalize ' their rates to Pacific ports bo tha tthe coast commercial centers could compete with Atlantic coast and gulf ports In export movements to the Far Kant. Among the things the Chamber of Commerce chieftain did was to aid In getting a Portland man appointed to the shipping board- and to aid In get- ting other men appointed from different districts who believed in fair1 treatment of smaller commercial firms.

Brakies . ; Y"t t e Locomotives are dangerous things to have any little jokes with, but, neverthe less, there is going the rounds of the log road roundhouses -a little tale on a cer tain gentleman now speeding east to wards his factory, still very much pue sled over the performance of a pertain locomotive that fame far short 1 of his expectations, though it did startle the jokers in the case. 1 : Down the Columbia a short ways Is an outfit whose principal' claim to fame is one long hill of about three miles with a grade of 10 per cent Locomotives that can do any work on it are, Indeed, good locomotives, but some time ago the rep resentative of an eastern builder; of en gines told the managers that they could put out one that would double this loads now being hauled. It sounded very good, of course, to the. management, but the boys that did the work were very skep tical and did not hesitate telliing the management so. In fact, they considered it almost reflection en their railroad ing when the locomotive builder talked the company into buying one of the new rigs. LOGGERS SKEPTICAL It came in due time and with it a demonstrator who was going to show ixovf to handle logs and get somewhere. The way the beast behaved on the level gave the railroaders on the job the high sign. Their Judgment was at stake, . Then came the time ef the real test. The eld locomotive had never hauled more than six "sets" up the 10 per cent grade and here thev were coupling more than twice that number to the new loco motive. A "set" is a duet of I sing trucks which support the timber when loaded for shipment The demonstrator was either "off or they were. The new engine snorted and started up the slight grade without dif ficulty. The "brakies" knew by the way she took that, that the larger hill was RICHARDSON LP. OWNS COLLECTION RARE RELICS Portland Man Has What Is Called (.Finest Assortment of Indian j Souvenirs in Oregon. i I. P. Richardson of 1219 East Flanders street has one of the finest collection of Indian relics In the state. There may be some that are larger, but none that is better. Richardson, traveling man for the Standard Oil company, has been col lecting for the last 10 years and has a comprehensive knowledge of Indian tools and weapons. Several years ago a cave in the Hum boldt Sink in ' Nevada was found In w&kh relics of a tribe that had been de stroyed by the Piutes were discovered. The relics were under a 20-foot deposit of : guano and have been estimated by the University of California as being from 600 to 1000 years old. The things found are in an excellent state of preser vation, the hair stlU being attached to some of the skins tanned. The collection contains arrow heads, beads, both native and trade, various tools and implements used by the In dians and. two charms need by the aaedi eine men. x . - a": ' -. The two charms are the choicest part of the collection, for there are few of there in the possesion of white men. One ef the charms is an enormous bundle ef feathers built up around a highly pol ished bone, the feathers being secured to the bone and supported by deer sinew. At one end of each feather a small shell is tied making an oddly, fashioned bull roarer. The other charm Is a bit of stone wrapped in the hide of a bat, the fur still being on the skin and turned-In so es to-protect the stone, which is on doubtedly the good medicine. Ilk Is an old tradition among . the Piutes that long ago a tribe of man eat ers were in the portion f the country where the relics were found and that thf Piutes .trapped the hostile people in the cave and killed them all by keeping a huge fire burning at the entrance of the cave. . "... . The relics were found and given to Richardson by a friend who was oper ating a guano mine In the cave.

Larimer and his wife, the boy's sister took him before the juvenile court Saturday-and asked for the right to have the boy's hair cut." Later in the afternoon Engle came to Larimer's rooms aV 230 Clay street, de manding why they had Interfered with ment followed and' Rngie is said to-have Slapped the younger man. . Larimer then knocked his father-in- law down. Jumping to his feet, Engle is said, to Jiave attacked his son-in-law with a pocket knife, inflicting severe wounds to both arms , and bad cuts about the face. Larimer was taken first to the emergency hospital and later to gt. Vincents. Engle ran away after the cutting, but as captured by Sergeant Ervin and Patrolmen Simpkins and Wagey at 887 First street, where he has rooms. He is being held on a charge of assault with dangerous weapon. The boy told his sister that the teacher at the Shattuck school stood him up be-i conquered. They were not going to give up without a fight. Sliding from truck to truck, they locked the brakes tight on five sets of trucks. Still no effect.

When they ran forward, they found not the ictorious "I told yon so" they expected to find. Instead they found one very nervous, much agitated demon strator of a new locomotive. He could not understand such a rotten perform ance. He could find nothing wrong, and finally, left 'the scene commenting on the deceiving appearance of th ess "West ern mountains and the fact that some en gineer surely made a mistake when be labeled that grade as only 10 per cent He's still wondering what happened to that engine and train, while down at the camp are some brakemen wondering on whom the joke really is. And the locomotive they tried to belittle snorts derisively every time she gets to the hill. Earl Thompson of Pendleton, who recently severed his left thumb while cutting kindling and who was struck by liyhtntng a few months age, added another to a list of accidents last week when he lost his right forefinger, which became caught in a place of. farm machinery.

UTo rid Curry county of coyotes, which have greatly incressed In number within re cent years and whose depredations have r-ni!0i1 ninnv wnnt rrnvltri In tia swtin ty to go out of the sheep business, the people of Curry county last May voted to Increase the bounty on coyotes from $25 to $76 each, in order to attract hunters and trappers to come here and kill off the pests. So little interest has been manifested, however, that the county court , at the December term will probably reSuce the bounty to the old figure and instead will endeavor to secure the assistance of the United States biological survey to eradicate the pelts.
