LYMAN SON
ATTORNEY SPOKE JAPANESE.
Baker City Justice Startled at the Ver
satility of lleilner.
The Judge and the usual audience In
the police court this morning were
greatly surprised and startled when
they found that City Attorney Hellner
was an expert In speaking Japanese,
says the Baker City Herald.
Jim, an almond-eyed Jap, who ap
peared before Judge Levens charged
with having no visible means of sup
port, was the means of bringing the
city attorney's hitherto unknown and
unsuspected linguistic powers to light.
Jim was ushered before the judge,
who immediately told him why he
was in Jail. "Are you guilty or not
guilty," Baid Judge Levens, but all
the satisfaction he got was a vacant
stare of utter incomprehension from
the wily Jap. A few more tries and
the court gave it up.
"Send for an Interpreter, and maybe
we can get this matter straightened
out," ordered the court, and Chief
Jackson started for the front door.
Before he had gone very far, how
ever, he was called back by the city
attorney.
"You don't need to get any Jap to
explain the charge," stated Mr. Hell
ner to the court. "I think I under
stand the language well enough to
explain what we want." Then while
the court and those present listened
in amazement, the city attorney spoke
some words to the Jap which caused
his face to gradually assume a pleas
ed appearance, and his head to nod
vigorously.
He says that he is guilty, your
honor, said Hellner, addressing the
court.
"Tell him then he is fined $10.'
said the court. The order of the court
was translated and the Jap still smil
ing, was taken back behind the bars
to spend five clays. All efforts to
find out where the city attorney had
learned the Japanese language were
of mi avail. "Thai's my secret," said
he. anil dismissed the matter.

AMKKICAN II.MTrlKACY,
Women More Prone to IlllteraiT Than
Men.
According to a bulletin Issued by
the census bureau at Washington,
about 106 persons out of 1000 In the
United .Suites more, than 10 years old
are unable to writo. which Is equiv
alent to about one in 10. Of the na
tive white population, only 46 out of
every lOOO. or fewer than one in 20;
of the foreign born white, 128 out of
every 1000, and of the negroes 446
out of every 1000 are Illiterate.
Internal compilations restricted as
far as possible to corresponding
classes of the population are on the
whole favorable to this country. In
dicating that In most European coun
tries illiteracy is much more preva
lent than It Is here, although the
rnlU;d States Is still far behind Ger
many. Sweden. Norway, Denmark and
Switzerland. There Is also ground for
satisfaction In tho statistical evidence
that illiteracy is steadily being reduced.
In 1890 the number of Illiterates
per 1000 was 133 for the total popu
lation. 62 for the native white popu
lation, 130 for the foreign born white,
and 568 for negroes, Indians and
Mongolians.
The female sex. Is shown to be
more Illiterate than the male. The
Illiteracy for females being 112 per
1000 and for males 101. But the'eon
trast Is less marked than It was In
1896. when the Illiteracy for the two
sexes was 144 and 183 respectively.
VANCOUVER MERCHANTS
VS. CANADLW PACIFIC.
Active Boycott Has Been Started and
the Xortliem Pacific and Great
Northern Are Being Enlisted to In
vade the Territory of tlw Canadian
Pacific- Mercluinta Want Lower
Terminal Rates and Canadian Pa
cific May Retaliate! Severely.
Seattle, Dec. 9. Engaged in a vig'
orous and determined fight with the
Canadian Pacific railroad, and repre
sentlng the merchants of Vancouver
who have organized for the purpose
of boycotting that road, a committee
of Vancouver merchants arrived In
Seattle yesterday for the purpose of
consulting with high traffic officials
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, with a view of routing ship'
ments from the east via the American
roads.
The committee conBlBts of A. G,
Thyme, R. P. McLennan and W. J,
McMillan. They arrived In the city
yesterday, accompanied by Kerneth J.
Burns; Vancouger agent for the Great
Northern, and are guests of the Hotel
Butler. They were met in conference
this morning by C. M. Levey, third
vice president of the Northern Paci
fic, and later by Henry M. Adams,
western traffic manager of the Great
Northern.
The fight of the Vancouver mer
chants is for rates from their city to
Calgary, Edmonton and Macleod In
the northwest territory which will en
able them to compete In that territory
with Winnipeg and eastern centers.
The officials of the Canadian Paolfic
refuse to grant the rates demanded
on the ground that the haul eastward
from the coast was over mountain
divisions, while that from the eastern
terminals westward was over prairie
territory, making a radical difference
In the cost of the traffic.
This refusal was announced In
communication to B. W. Greer, gen
eral freltrht agent of th road from
O. M. Bosworth, fourth vice president
with headquarters at Montreal, made
publi: In Vancouver Friday. Immedi
ately upon tho publication of that re
ply the merchants prepared to carry
out their boycot as completely as pot-
sible. All-eady orders have been sent
to eastern shippers to route all
through shipments via the American
roads.
Western officials of the road are
now putting out the suggestion that
If the merchants of Vancouver per
sist in their attitude the road may be
forced to "protect itself" or In other
words to retaliate by giving terminal
and distributive rates to interior
points, thus turning over to them
much of the distributive trade now
enjoyed by the coast terminal.
Vice President Bosworth, In his let'
ter to Greer, made the statement that
the Canadian Pacific has already gone
far beyond any other Pacific coast
line in enabling coast merchants to
extend their business to interior
points.
Meanwhile the contention of the
Vancouver merchants has been re
ferred to the Canadian railway com
mission with the request that the com
mission order the road to put into ef'
feet the rates demanded.
