HARRIMAN WILL FIGHT.
Starts Suit to Prevent Lumbermen
Getting Reduced Rate.
Portland, July 27. While the re
duced tranmscontinental rates on lum
ber shipments from Oregon to the Mid
dle West will go into effect on all lines
on August 15, the Willamette valley
lumber mill men have not won their
final round, since the Southern Pacific
company has opened fire from a new
quarter and sued in the Federal court
for an injunction against the Inter
state Commerce commission's order
cutting down the $5 rate to San Fran
cisco and bay points. The new attack
by the Southern Pacific company will
again check the lumber industry in the
valley, as it clouds the future with un
certainty. Temporary injunctions are regarded
as very dangerous to business pros
pects, and especially so in this case.
Although the railroads propose to give
a bond to indemnify lumber manufac
turers in event of losing the railroads'
case in court, the alleged bond does not
prove to be any protection to the lum
ber industry. No new lumber mill is
going to start up and no old mill is go
ing to resume business on the promise
of a railroad company to reimburse the
mill should a lower rate.ultimately be
made.
It is believed by well-informed law
yers that there does not exist more
than one chance in 100 for the South
ern Pacific company to win any import
ant ground in the fight against railroad
regulation as a result of its newest at
tack upon the validity of the Hepburn
law. Should the company win this
suit it would destroy the Interstate
Commerce commission as at preser.t
created and organized.
DOUBT SULTAN'S GOOD FAITH.
People of Constantinople Accept His
Irade With Stolidity.
Constantinople, July 27.--The mo
mentous act of the sultan of Turkey in
proclaiming yersteday the restoration
of the constitution of 1876 has left
the population of Constantinople un
moved. The aspect of the city is to
day perfectly normal and there have
been no manifestations of satisfaction
of any kind. The, stolid fatalism of
the Moslems, who for centuries past
have been accustomed to a regime of
personal rule and who are not used to
political freedom, is thought partly to
explain the apathy everywhere appar
ent. Added to this is skepticism regard
ing the durability of the new era prom
ised. Furthermore, past experience
and the fact that the sultan conceded
a re-establishment of the constitution
under extreme pressure inclines the
Turks to the belief that the concession
is intended merely to Burmount the
present troubles anfl avert the threat
ened disruption of the empire, and that
the earliest opportunity will be taken
again to suspend the charter of liberty.
TOOLE UNDER CHARGES.
Waives Immunity and Denies Compli
city in Land Frauds.
Great Falls, Mont.,. July 27. On ac
count of charges made in connection
with state timber land in the Flathead
valley district, an investigation has
been in progress at Kalispell before
Governor Norris, and land board and
ex-Governor Toole, who was a member
of the board when the sales under in
vestigation were made. The charges
are to the effect that the commission
favored the big land companies by sell
ing to them through dummies valuable
timber land for less than it was worth.
Several witnesses today testified that
dummy names were used.
When Mr. Toole wished to take the
stand attorneys for the complainants
objected on the ground that to permit
such testimony would grant immunity
to any person so testifying. On be
half of the governor himself and the
other members of the board, the at
torney general waived such immunity.
Mr. Toole emphatically denied the
charges made by Prodger, as did Mr
Galen, Secretary of State Yoder and
Superintendent Harmon. Mr. McCrea
also denied having made any such re
mark to Prodger. The investigation
will be continued and Governor Norris
insists he will go to the bottom of
things.
Mount Baker in Eruption.
Bellingham, Wash., July 27. Mount
Baker is now a seething volcano, and
three craters are belching forth vapors
and sulphurous fumes, according to
five members of an exploring party
which left this city Tuesday and re
turned last night. The main crater is
now at least 40 feet in diameter, and
the intense heat caused by the interior
fires has melted the snow from
around its mouth, causing numerous
landslides. The smaller craters, vthich
a-e estimated to be about 800 feet
from the main one, are more active.
Wool Market Reported Active.
Dillon, Mont, July 27. The past
week has been very active in the wool
marietta. Sale amounted to 250.000
pounds at prices ranging from 14 to
17, cents. At Lewiston the buyers
and growers have deadlocked over
prices, and the greater part or the
three million pounos will be consigned.
NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS
USE OWN MONEY.
Coast Ports Are Anxious for Deeper
Channels to the Sea.
Portland. Depending upon water
transportation to get their products to
market, the people ot siuslaw and Co-
qujlle are preparing to expend something
n the neighborhood of 50,000 of their
vwn in order to get the federal govern
ment interested in the work of improv
.ng the channels leading from the ocean
into the respective bays. They have
come to the conclusion that deep water
must be had, no matter what might be
the cost.
J. 11. Cushman, a prominent sawmill
man of Siuslaw, is in Portland to con
fer with the government engineers rela
tive to the project proposed at Siuslaw,
and he has received considerable en
couragement from Major James MIn
loe, successor to Colonel S. V. Roes-
sler, United States engineers corps, hav
ing charge of the work in this district
I he bay inside the bar has fine deep
water, both to Acme and Florence. Mr.
Cushman says, and no work will be
necessary there.
At Loquille a committee of three
leading business men has been placed
n charge of the work and $100,000 has
lleady been subscribed for the purpose
f placing a jetty at the mouth of tin
Say and bulkheading the same. The Co
iiulle country is in much the same pre
dicament as that on Siuslaw.
Mr. Cushman asked Major Mclndoe
for the services of an engineer to take-
charge of the work at Siuslaw bar, and
he was practically given assurance that
he request would be granted, although
he matter will have to be submitted be
fore the chief of the department firs;
as do also the proposed plans of tin
property owners there.
lo employ a dredge would be of no
avail, -savs Mr. Cushman, because th
sand shif's continually, and the only
method of keeping it out of the channe1
is by forcing it out with the current of
the river, as is done at the mouth of the
Columbia.
Demand for Linn Farms.
Albany. Farm lands in Linn coun
ty are being eagerly sought and val
ues have increased wonderfully within
the last year. W. M. Eloyd, oflan
gent. recently sold his farm consisting
of 363 acres of pasture land for $11,
noo. About five years ago this same
farm changed hands and brought $0,
0(K. Two years ago VV. M. Lloyd
paid $3,000 for it.' A half dozen of the
finest farms in Linn county have
changed hands within the past week
There seems to be a steadily increas
ing demand for this class of realty
Every day prospective homeseekers
are seen touring the country with the
view of purchasing and establishing a
home.
Cement Blocks for Depot.
Albany. Three thousand cement
blocks have arrived in the city from
Eugene, and are to be used in the
building of the new depot at this city
The work on the grounds has pro
gressed ro rapidly as to call for the
laying of the blocks immediately. T.
H. Kills, of Eugene, is the contractor,
ind has had the suoervision of th'
making of the blocks for the local
structure. A large force of men is
now at this city busily engaged in the
work of constructing the new depot.
Cherry Grower Puts in Drier.
Salem. S. P. Kimball, one of the
largest growers of cherries near Sa
lem, has just completed a drier with
a capacity of 300 bushels of cherries a
lay. The poor market for cherries
lecided Mr Kimball to install the
drier. All cheirics for the drier arc
carefully pitted bv machinery. He be
lieves that dried Royal Annes will net
him a bigfcer profit than fresh Royal
Annes at 3 cents a pound,, the best
price offered by the canneries.
Flour Mill for Baker.
Baker City. A committee of busi
ness men. composed of N. C. Haskell,
W. J. Patterson and Sam Baer, has
finished the work of soliciting a fund
with which to purchase a site for the
new 2no-barrcl flouring mill that is to
he built by G. IV Stout, of Paoli, Ind
Mr. Stout asked that the city donate
a millsite, and stated that he would
erect a modern flour mill. Over $10DO
was raised by the committee in a few
hours to pay for the land.
Track Laying Is Resumed.
Klamath Falls. Track -laying has
been resumed on the California North
cistern railway, and steel has been
laid over the hill this side of Harris,
the present terminus. Worden, the
station nearest the swamp, will prob
ably be the next terminus of the road
This will aid greatly in snortening the
freight and stage road into the city..
Albany and Linn Apple Fair.
Albany Albany and Lane county
are preparing for the annual apple fair
to be held some time late in the sea
son. The first of these fairs waa held
last year. The success was so marked
that it was decided to again make a
showing of the county's resource.
Monroe Cannery Idle.
' Monroe. Monroe has one of tke larg
est and best equipped canneries in the
state, but from latest reports it seem
trnt the outfit is to lay idle this season.
No contracts for fruit or vegetables
have been made with growers, and the
chances are that the owners have a
, white -elephant on their bands.
PARTS OF OREGON
LOSE BY EARLY WOOL SALE.
Umatilla Growers Feel They Are Out
$40,000 as Result.
Pendleton Umatilla county sheep
men are very much dissatisfied for hav
ing been induced to sell their wool
early in the season. They have never
been satisfied with the prices received,
and reports from recent sales in Mon
tana have convinced them that they
are really beaten out of between $30,-
000 and $40,000.
The reports from Montana show that
wool there brought an average of five
cents more a pound than the Eastern
Oregon wools, and this difference can
not be accounted for by the difference
in freight rates and shrinkage. An
advantage of one cent is accounted for
the Montana wool because of the
freight rate, and last year the shrink
age of the Montana wool was seven
per cent less than that grown in East
ern Oregon. Computing prices on a
basis of approximately the same ratio
of shrinkage for this year, the Mon
tana growers were readily entitled to
2i cents more a pound than the Ore
gon flock owners. The Oregon grow
ers, therefore, naturally feel that their
wool waa worth as much as the Mon
tana wool less this 2)1 cents, and not
less the 5 cents, the actual difference
paid.
Had the growers of this county
alone have received prices correspond
ing to the prices paid in Montana, they
woijld have received in the neighbor-
noon oi 4,uuu more ior ineir cup man
they did receive, and taking Eastern
Oregon as a whole, the difference
would have mounted into the hundreds
of thousands.
GOVERNOR WANTS DELEGATES
Can't Fink Sportsmen Willing to At
tend National Meeting.
Salem. The National League of
merican Sportsmen, which meets at
Lawton, Oklahoma, October 12 and
13, has requested Governor Chamber
lain to appoint from one to five dele
gates from this state. The governor
has requested a number of sportsmen
in Portland to suggest names of per
sons who would be willing to rere
sent Oregon at the Oklahoma meet
ing, but has been unable to secure
any suggestions. The governor thinks
the organizations of sportsmen in
Portland should suggest names if they
desire representation at Uie national
convention, lie has no other method
of determining those who are inter
ested or those who would go.
Clubhouse for College Girls.
University of Oregon, Eugene. Girls
at the University of Oregon will bo well
housed next year. At least three new
houses, accommodating between 60 and
"0 girls, will I ready for occupancy
in September. The Mary Spiller House
named tor the first woman connected
with the university, will have rooms for
20 to 30 girls. The Kloshe Tillacum
Club will have a handsome new home
y the opening of the university. The
eta Iota Phi Sorority is building a new

leigh. his summer home here, after
an illness of several weeks, aged 74
years. He was unconscious all day

Death was due primarily to embol
ism in the right leg, following a long
ittack of liver and stomach trouble,
and the end had been foreseen for
several days by twe bishop's physi
cians. Bishop Potter suffered a se
vere relapse in the morning and
though oxygen was given, his decline
was gradual and he sank into uncon
sciousness, which lasted until the end,
No arrangements for the funeral
'iave as yet been made, but it U prob
able that services will be held here
md that-the body will be removed to
Sew York, where a public funeral wili

Hishop Potter's illness first became
niblicly known early in the spring,

Raster services. A diagnosis showed
that the bishop was suffering from a
stomach and liver malady and after it

ble to attend the Tan-Anglican con
ference June 21. plans were immedi-
itely made to bring the bishop here

road to recovery.
FINE WtLL STAND.
Court of Appeals Sustains Standard
Oil Assessment.
Chicago, July 22. John D. Rocke
feller will know at 10:30 o'clock today
ihat the Standard Oil company of In
Jiana must pay the fine of $29,240,000
isscssed against it by Judge Landis in
the United States supreme court here
nearly a year ago. The court of ap
-teals will report its finding at tha
hour, and positive assurance is given
that the original decision will be
iflirmed in every particular; that the
one will stand and that a new trial
will be denied.
This is the final outcome of a day
rull of wide speculation and excite
ment among the attorneys on both
sides of the famous case. The fact
that the court of appeals had reached
i decision and was ready to report
ame as a great surprise, as it had
been thought the ease would go over
until fall. The court of appeals is
made up of Judges Peter S. Grosscup.
Francis E. Baker and William IT. Sea
man.( There was a hint last night that
one judge will dissent, but this will
not affect the finding, as the other
two are said to have sustained Judge
Landis throughout.
Early reports yesterday were to the
effect that the fine imposed by Judge
Landis would be greatly reduced; in
fact, cut down to the ordinary fines
issessed against corporations some
where in the thousands instead of the
millions. From an authority which
cannot be questioned, however, it is
learned that the majority of the court
sustains Judge Landis.
Nevada Stage Is Robbed.
Reno, Nev., July 22. A special to
the Journal from Likely, Nev., says
(he f.ikelv and Alturas stage was held
up bv two masked men who were
heavily armed. They compelled the
Wells-Fargo messenger to throw
down the box containing, it is be
lieved, a large sum in gold for the pay
roll at Alturas. The passengers were
not molested. No description of the
robbers could be given, as it was dark,
mil after securing the box the men
lis.ippeared in the brush. The sheriff
of Alturas and a posse have started in
pursuit.
Contractors Pester John D.
White Plains, N. Y., July 22. John
D. Rockefeller, who is erecting a half
million dollar mansion on his country
estate, called Roxwood, at Tocantico
Hills, Is having considerable trouble
over the erection of a large laundry.
Four judgments have been filed
against-him by sorm of his contractors
and yesterday a lien was filed sgainst
him in the Westchester county clerk's
office. It is said the. filing of judg
ments grew rut of the. dissatisfaction
expressed by Rockefeller over the
construction work of the laundry.
Shoot Up Bosion Saloon.
Boston, July 21. Three men armed
with heavy caliber revolvers dished
into a crowded Jamaica Plains bar
room 10 minutes before closing time
last nidht nd yelling "Hands up." be
gan shooting up the place. When

emptied it and had finished shooting
and made their escape, one man was
dead on the floor, another lay dving
and a third was seriously injured.

NEW. TRIAL
FOR STANDARD
Bio. fine Imposed by JuJge Landis Is
Annulled by Higher Court.
Unanimous Decision That First Trial
Was Unfair Government is Given
30 Days to File Necessary Pa
pers and Action Will be Taken
Decision a Surprise.
Chicago, July 23. The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday re
versed and remanded for re-trial tha
case of the government against tha
Standard Oil company of Indiana, in
which Judge Landis, in the District
court, had imposed a fine of $29,240,
000. The government has SO daya
within which to file a petition for a re
hearing and it was announced that it
will be filed within the alloted time.
The decision came as a complete sur
prise to the government officials, who
believed the trial judge would be up
held. Judge Grosscup, who delivered tha
opinion, left little of the contention
that each carload at the 6-cent rata
constituted a separate offense. Even
the shipments, of which there were
about 600, could not be. so considered
under the ruling of the court. The
fine should have been based on settle
ments between the railroad and the oil
company. Of these there were Just
36. The maximum fine on this basia
would amount to but $720,000, and the
minimum $36,000 the latter figure
being considerably lower than the
$223,000 which the Standard is alleged,
tojhave received as rebates on the ship
ments in question.
In the event that a rehearing is de
nied, the government may go to trial
on the original indictment containing
1.4G2 counts an action which Mr.
Sims could be ready to take within two
weeks or upon anyone of seven other
indictments containing 4,442 counta.
UNCLE SAM AS RULER.
Kaiser's War Expert Sees This Re
sult From European War.
Berlin, July 23. Showing that a
European war at this time would cost
$16,000,000,000 annually and would re
sult in the United States becoming tha
undisputed leader of the world, General
Rlume, the famous military expert,
today submitted a report, ordered by
Emperor William, on the probable coat
of an international fight.
If Germany were to fight another
European power, General Illume says,
it would cost the empire $1,600,000,
000 a year in direct outlay and entail a
loss of $2,500,000,000 annually to tha
in the paralysis of commerce.
General Blume declares that, owing
to the delicate adjustment of European
politics, the next war will involve at
least four powers, and that his esti
mate of cost would 'apply to each.
The financial drain would not result
otherwise than in the world supremacy
of the United States, he says.
FIRE AT PORTLAND.
Fire Chief Placet Damage by Flames
at $500,000.
Portland, July 23. Fire, supposed
to have originated as the result of
crossed electric wires, started In tha
upper floor of the five-story Abington
building, 106 Third street, near
Washington, shortly after midnight
last night, ruined that building, swept
into the Van Schuyver building imme
diately to the rear, destroyed the up
per two stories of that building, dam
aged the McKay building, for a time
endangered the entire block and raged
for an hour and a half before firemen
finally succeeded in getting it under
control.
The fire entailed a loss estimated at
between $300,000 and $400,000. Both
the Abington and Van Schuyver build
ings were ruined. Fire Chief Camp
bell estimates the entire loes at $500,
000. Must Prevent Monopoly.
San Francisco, July 23. Gilford
Pinchot, chief forester of the United
States, went to Berkeley today after
making an appeal to the people of Cal
ifornia to protect the watersheds of
the state. Declaring that the question
of allowing a giant monopoly of tha
power intt rests in the United States
will come before the people before
next winte r, Pinchot warned California
that such a combine must be prevented.
He said the monopoly would be of such
; proportions that the Standard Oil com
pany would look small beside it.
Fifty Japvnese Killed.
St. Petersburg, July 22Ths
Bourse Gazette yesterday published a
dispatch from Harbin which recites
an engagement with Corrin insur
gents on the Russo-Corean frontier in
which it is reported 50 Japanese sol
diers were killed. The insurgent
losses are not known.
