FORGED CERTIFICATES.
Good Imitation of Chinese Certificates
Issued on the Sound.
San Fraracflsco, June 20. Collector Well
burn today received tdepmms from Ta-
coma, Siiaittfle, and Port Townsend which
notified Mm that the collectors there
have recently captured half a dozen
Chinese With forged certificates 'with the
signatures of O. M. Wellburn and his
deputy, Thos. OusCCk. Ait Tucoma the
forgers tried to have Ah Duck and Ah
Look admitted under excellent counter
feits numbered 46,965 and 46,016. At Se
attle the same forgers tried to Introduce
Ah Linen and Wong Chlong under cer
tificates numbered 46,646 and 6,536, and at
Victoria two Chinese were arrested In
possession of excellent imitations of Cer
tificates issued at the Sain Francisco of
fice. Speaking of the matter Collector
Weilburn said: "An examination of the j
records of this office shows that there i
bave never been sudh 'numbers on our
books, hence the purported certificates 1
must be forgeries. The people who are In
the northern band of forgers, If there is
such a band', 'have not gone about their
work as cleverly as the Foss gang pur
sued its labors. The Foss gang were
very clever, and they were weld informed
regarding our numbers."
The Chinese hold' ng the certificates are
under arrest. The demand for certifi
cates (s so great that the best forgeries
readily sell for from 150 to 1100. Foss
stated to a deputy United States marshal
whtlA fi-n nAlitA in tlhA non litnnitla t-v .hnt
had his band not been betrayed by one
of their number ilt would have earned
half a million dollars jn a year. Some
wealthy Chinese were ready to pay fab
ulous prices for the privilege of coming
here.
BRISK RATE WAR.
The O. R. 'and N. and the Truckee Lum
ber Co. In a Fight.
San Francisco, June 20. The competi
tion between the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company, the Truckee Lum
ber Co., and unattached veastle of all
kinds, for freight between this city and
Portland has at luet broken into an open
rate war, in which sweeping cuts havs
recently been made In the established
schedules. Between the ports mentioned
the Oregon Railway amd Navigation Co.
held for a long time a monopoly of the
carrying tirade. When the Truckee Lum
ber Co. established mills at Astoria and
Portland a line of vessels was put on
for the purpose of bringing th output
to this city. For a while thus company
confined its transportations to lumber
alone, but finally got to taking general
merctoamdlae from this city to ParMand.
Vessels tad to go there for lumber and
it occurred to the management that they
migni as weu go up loaded as light,. Here
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Co.
encountered its first opposition. Then
another craft got into the trade, tf.l "A was
pretty well divided. The merchandise
rates have been gireUHy reduced and on
lumber the charges have dropped from
13.60 to H per thousand. .
"We have made this cut," said General
Agent F. F. Connor, "in order to give the
opposition some of their own medicine.
We do not object to legitimate competi
tion, but we do object to traimp compe
tition. It has been impossible to maintain
flxej rates. Nearly every vessel outside
of those operated by our company hud
a rate of its own and the result was
general deimoraXsatlon."
Mckinley cheered.

the owners of the pulp mill at Oregon
City about 14,500 to comply with the state
laws relating to the dumping of saw
dust in rivers where salmon are found,
but they have finally succeeded in accom
plishing the task. When Fish Protector
McGulre first assumed the duties of his
office, it was the custom to dump the
sawdust and refuse Into the river.. Mr.
McGulre protested and the owners of the
mill built a "blower" eit considerable ex
pense, with the intention of blowing all

distance of about 1,600 feet. This was
not successful, as the sawdust - leaked

burning all sawdust and refuse. It works
very satisfactorily, and no further com
