Sent here in 1853, in early territorial days, at tho ago of thirty, as chief justice, ho boeamo a member of tho constitutional convention, and was elected umtea States senator in 1864. In 1871 ho was apitointcd a com missiminr to ndiudiento the Alabama claims and lator made attornoy general by President Grant. In 1903 ho was elect ed mayor of Portland, Throughout his long career Judge Williams was one of the leaders of his party. Ho helped organize the Union party and stumped the state for Lincoln. Ho did similar service for. every presidential and gubernatorial nominee of the republican -"arty since and played an important role in the political history of the state. Judge Williams was a politician of the old school, sur viving out of the old time into ours. His last public utter ance was an expression of regret at the dethronement of Uncle Joe Cannon as czar of the house. He was blindly partisan, and believed in the old order of things. Judge Williams as a "practical" politician fought the direct primary law and all that it stood for. He was out of sjnnpathy and out of harmony with the "uplift" and "reform" movements of the day and could not or would not recosmize the chancred situation, but sought to the o t hhour of his death a restoration of political conditions that Oregon had outgrown. Kindly in temperament, lovable in disposition, loyal in friendships, Judge Williams will be sincerely mourned by the entire state. . REFRIGERATOR CHARGES. Interstate Commerce Commissioners Lane and Prouty are taking testimony at Los Angeles on application of citrus fruit growers for a reduction in freight rates. Tho hearing has developed that the objection is to charges, for refrigeration, rather than to the hauling tariff. Growers declare they can do their own pre-cooling and icing at half the railroad charge for the service. Abolition of private refrigerator car lines has worked to the advantage of shippers and growers, and both the Southern Pacific and Santa Pe own, througlvsubsidiary companies the refrigerator car lines. But the excessive charges established when fruit shipping concerns owned the cars are still maintained and are a heavy tax on the industry. Railroads derive a large revenue from fruit shipping, and to encourage the industry could afford to do the icing at or near cost. At any rate, they might and probably will eventually co-operate by permitting the growers and ship pel's to do their own refrigerating. POLICE SAVE MAN FROMANGRY MOB Man Seizes Young Girl, But Her . Cries for Assistance Bring Crowd to the Rescue. LOS ANGELES, Cal April 4. Tho fact that Ramon Ragoza Is In tho city jail today and not In tbo morguo, tbo victim of an angry mob, be owes to the timely arrival of a patrol waon loaded with bluecoats.

Tho little gill was on her way to a concert with her mother. As she stepped upon tho approach to the Macoy street bildge Ragozl seized her and attempted to carry her down the bank toward the river.

FIRE ALARM AWAKENS MANY LATE SLEEPERS Packing House Burns in Old Whit man Orchard, Just South of City Probably Work of Tramp. Somo people arose a little earlier Monday morning than is their custom on tho first day of tho work, owing to an alarm of fire Just beforo 6 o'clock. The caluse of the alarm was tho burning of the packing houso In tho old Whitman orchard, now owned by Hutchison & Lumsden and Charles Palm. Tho fire was not discovered until tho flames had mado good headway, and by the time the flremon reached the scene, which is outside the city limits, the building bad faljon in and was a total loss. The supposition is that hoboes had entered tho building to spend the night and had built a flro in the stove, and that tho building was set on flro by this means. Outside of the loss of tho building, there were sev eral hundred fruit boxes, which wore stored tbero, destroyed. The Iobb is in .the neighborhood of S1500, with no insurance.
