Aberdeen, Wash. Over NO [>er eent
of the lumber interests of (»rays Har-
Imr and Willupu Harbor was repre­
sented here at a meeting eulbti to
consider the proposition submitted by
Henry J, Fierce, of Spokane, repre­
senting heavy Eastern tinancial inter­
ests, with a view of forming a com­
pany which would take over the mills,

ing to the lumber men of the two dis­
tricts. W. ii. Mack, manager of the

sided at the meeting.
Mr. Pierce outlined his plan of con­
solidation, which met with a hearty
reception by those in attendance.

firm of Piles & Howe, of Seattle, pre­
sented the legal features of the pro-

In brief, the plun contemplates an
investment of between $30,000,000
and $50,000,000 of Eastern capital
with a view of securing sufficient tim­
ber to ensure the operations of the
tidewater mills of Washington and
Oregon which become members of the
organisation, for a |>erio<i of not leas
than 20 years.
It la the expreased belief of Mr.
Pierce, who organised and was for 20
years preaident of the Wood Products
company, with headquarters at Buffa­
lo, and which practically controls the
output of by-products manufactured
from beech, birch and maple, that a
large auving could be effected in the
coat of marketing the lumber product
The saving of by-products from
lumber waste will engage the atten­
tion of the contemplated company,
such as the manufacture of pulp, pa­
per, etc.

Swims English Channel,
Deal, England After a lapse of 86
years Captain Matthew Webb's feat
of swimming the English chnnnel was
duplicated by Willinm T. Burgess, a
native of Yorkshire, but now a nat­
uralized Frenchman. It was Burgess'
16th attempt, he having first essayed
the task in 1904.
Burgess started from South Fore­
land, Dover, at 11:16 o’clock Thurs­
day morning. He landed at Lecate-
let, a little village two miles east of
Cape Cris Nez, at 9:50 o’clock next
morning, accomplishing the passage in
22 hours and 35 minutes.
A motor
boat accompanied the swimmer.
New York Keeps Growing
New York The publishers of the
125th New York City director/, just
issued, estimate the population of
Manhattan and The Bronx at 2,830,-
000, an increase of nearly 95,000 over
the Federal census of 1910.
A simi­
lar increase in all the boroughs of the
city would give New York a total pop­
ulation of 4,900,000.
It is figured,
however, that the rate of increase in
some of the suburban districts has
been much larger.
FREE LOCKS APPROVED.
Oregon City Property Owners Unani­
mous for Improvement.
Oregon City, Or.—Ono of the most
important mass meetings ever held in
Oregon City took place Naturday in
the Commercial club rouma, when the
property-owners and business men
went on record by a unanimous vote in
favor of the construction of free locks
on the East side of the Willlametle
river at Oregon City.
Colonel Charles IL Dye obtained an
amendment to the original resolution,
which is designed to protect the mill­
ing interests of Oregon City from nec­
essary molestation.
Many of those
present, fenring that the amendment
would tend to retard construction of
the locks, voted against it, but it was
finally carried by a vote of 24 to 25,
and then the resolution, as amended,
went through without a dissenting
voice.
W. F. Hawley, who has been quoted
as saying the construction of the locks
along the route suggested would put
him out of business, made a brief
speech and went over the ground from
his point of view. He is in favor of
the free locks, he said
MERGER SUIT IS APPEALED.
Government Alleges 02 Errors
Decision Favoring Harriman.
In
Salt Lake City Appeal papers have
just been filed in the United States
Circuit court in thia city by the Fed­
eral government in the suit against
the Union I’acific Railroad company
and others, known as the Harriman
merger suit, which was decided last
June by the United States Circuit
court for the Eighth district in favor
of the railway defendants.
In the opinion handed down by the
majority of the court, it was held that
the railroad companies were not corn­
lie ting lines and that the Sherman
anti-trust Isw was not being volated.
The government's appeal from this
decision tiled here contains 62 alleged
errors of the Circuit court judges,
many of which are concerned with
what are competing lines and others
concerned with stock deals among the
railroads themselves.
The effect of the appeal, if the
United States Supreme court chooses
to consider it on all the grounds sub­
mitted, will bring virtually every find­
ing of fact by the Circuit court into
question again.
TRAIN HELD; CREW RESTS.
Disobeyanca of Railroad Law Is
Dodged by Great Northern’s Men.
Spokane The law which compels
train and engine crews to tie up for
eight hours' rest after they have been
on the road for 16 hours, Sunday
caught a train where there was no
place to eat or sleep, but within five
miles of the terminal. To prevent
employes from violating thia law. lay­
ing the company liable to a heavy
tine, the Great Northern exacts a
heavy penalty from the employe who
disobeys.
An castbound freight got as far as
Vista siding when the 16 hours al­
lowed were up, and the crew had to
tie up for eight hours' rest. Vista is
on the shore of Whitefish lake, within
sight of the town, and the crew hiked
to town, dined and rested for a few
hours ami then took a launch to Vista
and brought the train into Spokane.
Swindler Gets Long Term.
Seattle—Frank H. Kimball, who is
alleged by the police to have a long
criminal record, was sentenced to hard
labor from 3 to 20 years in prison for
swindling Clarence Dayton Hillman,
the multi-millionaire real estate dealer
and three banks out of $16,000.
The
money was found in Kimball's posses­
sion and returned to his victims.
Kimball confessed that he read of the
conviction and sentence of Hillman Tor
using the mails to defraud, and that
he came to Seattle for the express
purjxise of robbing Hillman.
"Coffin Nails” Burned Up.
Asheville, N. C. — With students,
faculty and citizens praying and sing­

cigarettes in Marshill, N. C., was
burned on the campus of Marshill col­
lege, as the climax of an anti-cigar­

With the size and strength of war
ships growing from year to year in
this world-wide endeavor to excel,
naval experts are beginning to wonder
when and where the climax will be
reached.
The rapid development in
size is demonstrated by the dread­
naughts built, or building, for the
United States navy. The Utah, which
has just been placed in commission,
has a displacement of 21,825 tons;
th»* Arkansas and Wyoming, which

Last Nogi Indian is Taken.
Oroville, Cal.—The United States
government will have to make a treaty
with a Nogi Indian captured here a
few days ago, according to Professor
Waterman, of the State university.
Before this Indian can legally be
taken in charge and disposed of by
the government. President Taft and
his cabinet will have to agree with
him upon the terms under which his
future life will be governed, and the
United States senate will have to rati­

Western Shippers to Have Hearing
Before Prouty in Chicago.
Chicago—An investigation into al­
leged unreasonable rates on shipments
of wools and hides from Western
points to Eastern markets was begun
here by United States Interestate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty.
A score or more of witnesses have
been summoned to testify here, after
which Commissioner Prouty will hold
similar sessions at Denver, Albuquer­
que, N. M.; Salt Lake City, Phoenix,
Aris., and Portland, Or.
It is the contention of the wool
shippers that the freight rates have
been advanced 33J per cent since the
passage of the Hepburn rate law four
years ago, and that the present tariff
is exhorbitant in comparison with
rates charg«M for other commodities.
Two Attack Taft Plan.
San Francisco—Senator Moses E.
Clapp, of Minnesota, and Governor
Johnson of California, attacked the
attitude of President Taft in regard
to the recall of the judiciary in
speeches before the Direct Legislation
league of California. The league is
leading the campaign for the state
constitutional amendment for the re­
call of judges to be voted on October
10.
"The president says he fears judges
would waver in their decisions if the
recall were hanging over them,” said
Senator Clapp.
"In all my experi­
ence I have never known a judge who
was influenced in his decisions oy the
presence of an impending election.
There isn't a corrupt boss or lobbyist
or corrupter of public morals in the
country who is not now fighting the
proposed recall of judges.”
