THE LUMBER TRADE.
Item of interest from The American
Lun1hernan

LuTflASTTUdVl
Following is from the Brunswick
correspondent of the American Lufi-
herman.
The railroad and the cross tie in
terest represented by producers, ship
pers and buyers have failed to COM
summate any agreement on the freight
rate situation AS an outcome of the
appearance of both sides before the
state railroad commission a few weeks
age conference of both was agreed
upon to be held in Brunswick on Au-
gust /. 1t is to be remembered the
railroads advanced the cross tie rate
from a special classification to the
regular lumber list This was fought
by the tie people. Who considered the
new rate unjust, and that it would
make their business unprofitable An
appeal to- the commission followed
but at that time both sides agreed
for general conference, which was
|held here last Saturday. Among those
present were James Menzies, of the
Atlantic Coast Line; l.. z. Chalenor
of the Seaboard Air Line: II. c. Nc.
Fadden, of the Atlantic & Birming-
Iham; j. A, McDuffie, of the Brunswick
& Birmingham, on The part Of the
railroads; w. NJ, Toomer, T. l.. Craw-
ley and Leon A. Wilson, representing
the cross tie dealorss; President
Frank d. Aiken and Secretary c. d.
Ogg, of the Brunswick board of trade
and Mike Brown, ~ Emanuel and w.
B. Cook. cross tie merchants,
Several adjourned meetings were
held during UT1day, but absoIteuly
nothing was gaiSed by the tie people
The railroads stuck to the proposition
that the tie industry had developed
to such proportios} that it did not any
longer require the inducement Of a
low rate to assist it and that as all
kinds of timber and lumber had ad
vanced in price and the transportation
had advanced In cost il was neces-
sary to advance the freight in Justice
to their own welfare, This position
was contested on the ground that the
cross tie industry has brought into
the market scattered timber tracts
of singnifcant size and while such
timber has been secured cheaply in
many instances still the cost OF labor
and hauling to railroad lines for ship.
ment has caused a seeming profit to
disappear; that because Of the adYan
ced rate it will be impossible to cut
such timber for ties, and it. is out ct
the question to manufacture such
scattered timber: that the result will
be losses upon those who will have
| to continue in the business by virtue
contracts already closed, Notwith-
standing this contest tho roads an
nounce that the new rate the lumber
rate on ties-will go into effect on
september ]. Probably the matter will
be taken again to thho state railroad
commission for its conclusions.

MEETING HELD
BY LUMBERMEN
=
To Discuss Higher Wages
Demanded By the
LabOrers
NO DECISION is REACHED
Just What Will be the Final Result
Cannot be ForetoId, But Efforts
Will be Made to Settle
Difference.

A meeting was held at the city hall
yesterday morning at 11:30 o'clock by
the lumber merchants of the city fol
the purpose of discussing the advance
in wages asked for by the labor
union of the city. Every lumber firm
in the city was represented. Mr.. N
Emanuel acted as chairman and Mr
w. B. Cook as secretary.
The proposed demand for a raise
was discussed at length by those pres
ent Nearly every representative
there had something to say on the
subject but no definite decision was
reached and the matter still stands
unsettled and just what will be the
result cannot be foretold at this time
The situation at present is in
deed a serious one, and one that the
people of Brunswick should assist in
a settlement if possible The situa
tin is just this:
The laborers on the wharves gen
orally demand a raise of 1-2 cents
from the stevedores. If the advance
is granted by the stevedores the re
suit will be that the lumber merchants
will be the ones to suffer The lum
Der merchants claim that it is almost
impossible to grant the raise at this
time; they claim that, on the average
tils Brunswick dock laborer is paid
as well as those in Fernandina, Jack
sonville, Savannah and other ports
and to increase the pay at present
would mean considerable 10 them, ,-in
fact more than they can really stand
A News reporter yesterday en-
deavored to secure some facts on the
matter, and lumbermen, stevedores
and workmen were all seen and given
an opportunity to make their claims
for publication.
1t seems that the laborers in Bruins
wick who work in the hold are paid
as much, and in fact more than those
who are employed likewise in other
ports. On the other hand, those who
work on the outside of vessels. that
is, the laborers who are employed tc
handle lumber on the wharves, etc.
are paid probably a little less than
those of other ports and therefore
the average is about the same.
But the workers on the outside arc
not the only ones demanding raise
All workers, inside and out. are de
manding an increase of IL cents pei
hour. But from what the reporter
learned, the men in the hold are only
asking an increase to assist their fel
low-workmen.
At any rate the situation is quite
a serious one, and everything possible
is being done to bring about an annie
able agreement before September Is
the time that the increase is de
manded.
The Brunswick lumber merchant
stevedore and laborers have, as a rule
had but little trouble in the past. Or
the other hand, they have done busi
ness with each other in a satisfactory
manner. and It is to be earnestly
hoped that this difference will be
settled,
The News feels that the labor
union and the lumber merchants viii
do what they think is right, and it is
believed that the matter will, in some
way, be settled.

TWO MORE DAYS
FOR LEGISLATURE
Much Work is Vet Before the Sojons
and the Last Few Sessionh Will
Be Interesting.

Atlanta, Aug. 10--The two remain
ing days of the legislative session
will not doubt be hard working days.
the main matters OF interest being the
settlement of the convict question and
the report of the lobby investigating
committee
The house has passed the last bill
originating in that body that can go
through the senate at the present ses-
sion, and it has ROW only TO deal with
lsenatc bills, measures from the upper
house. which have been piling up, and
to which, up to the present time. the
house has given no attention.
1t is usually the way that action on
sepAte hills Is postponed until the last
minute, particularly if the house has
a full calendar and this year there
have been more house bills than have
ever appeared before within the recol-
Lotion of any one OF those connected
with the former legislature. The re-
| suit is senate bills have had to wait,
and there has been no little complaint
| from members of the upper house on
this grOnud. But they will go through
days. since there Is nothing now to
interfere with them.
Among the senate measures are sew
eral important constitutional amend
ments. which, if they are to be sub.
mittted to the people at the next cleo.
ton, must be passed at this session
in order to be advertised the requisite
length Of time
One of these is the bill limiting the
tax rate to five mills, which VIII prob
ably be considered at a special order
tomorrow. Bath bodies originally
passed a bill OF this kind, by Mr.. Tig-
ner, of Muscogce, but 1t was returned
by the Governor for the correction OF
what was considered an error Mr..
Tigner did not consider there was any
error in the bill, but In the interests
! of time welcomed the passage OF the
senate bill in order that legislation
might be had on the subject at the
/ present session.
It is quite certain the house will
amend the bill SO as to limit the tax
rate to five mills for all purposes, in-
Guiding the sinking fund, which is not
inclu; ded in that amount 10 the senate
bill.
Another important constitutional
amendment bill which has passed the
senate is that OF providing for a court
Of appeals consisting Of five judges.
This has been known as a measure for
the relief Of the supreme court, but
member OF the house designated 1t the
other day "a bill for tie relief OF the
people of Georgia"
A resolution has been offered look
ing to inviting former Chief Justice
Logan e. Bleckley to address the
house relative to this bill, occupying
the time allotted 70 the chairman Of
the committee making the favorable
report 1t is probable this resolution
will bc passed today.
Another interesting senate bill is
! that increasing the salaries Of Judges
OF the supreme court to $4,000, and
Of judges Of the superior courts to
$4,000 a year This measure has re
ceived favorable report from the
general judiciary committee of the
house, and there is strong probability
Of its passage.

A GIANT LOCOMOTIVE.

The Baltimore and Ohio Having Plans
Made for a Monster Engine.
Baltimore, Aug. 10.-The Baltimore
and Ohio railroad is having plans
prepared for a giant locomotive to
be used on the heavy mountain grades
as a helper The authoritative in
formation was obtained at the Balti-
more and Ohio General building;
"DdSigps are under consideration
for narticulated locomotive of extra
large size. No contract has been
awarded, as all the details have not
been worked out definitely. All that
can be said is that the new locomo
tive will weigh $50 tons, with steam
pressure of 235 pounds to the square
inch, and will have pairs OF driving
wheels, or IA wheels in all"
This, it is believed, will be the
largest locomotive in service on any
eastern road. The largest one in ser
vice on the Baltimore and Ohio weighs
$4,000 pounds and carries 205 pounds
of steam pressure to the square inch
The explanation tof an articulated
locomotive is that it is of jointed
construction and accommodates it.

CORVALLIS OREGON, FEBRUARY,

erations of the King county grand
jury have just come to light. It
was through the venturesome acts
of two well-known newspaper re-
porters, Kari M. Anderson and C.
B. Yandall.
The boys were caught dead to
rights. It was this way: In the
court house over the grand Jury
room is an old attic never used. In
some manner Anderson and Yand-
all secured key that led to the at
tic stairs. They removed two planks
from the flooring. A hole was dug
through the plastering and two
inch pipe was placed 80 it would be
directly over the desk of the secre-
tary of the grand jury, the witness
stand being directly at its side.
There they could hear and see eve
rything that was going on in the
grand jury room. Early each
morning before the jury convened
the reporters went into the attic
and took their places at the hole.
While one reporter watched the
other slipped farther up into the
attic where there was good light
and wrote his 'copy." When they
were sure there was no one in the
court house lobby to see them coma
down, the reporters slipped out and
left the building. For nearlya week
the two daring newsgatherers kept
up their work and each day printed
the actions of the grand jury in de-
tail.
The jury was dumbfounded when
the newspapers came out each day
with full stories of their actions.
Charges were made by jurymen a.
gainst each other as being guilty of
giving away jury secrets. Two
whole days were spent in trying to,
rnn down the guilty parties. Then
an unfortunate fall of one of the re-
porters in getting out of the attic
attracted the attention of one of the
grand iurymen. He looked up at
the ceiling and there saw the end
OF the pipe barely visible. Deputy
Sheriffs Nelson and Bowes were sent
up stairs to Investigate. The torn
up planks and the pipe was found.
Both reporters were taken into Gus
tody, and led to the office Of Sheriff
Cudihee, where the sheriff good
naturedly demanded an explana-
ton. Anderson and Yandall did
not propose to convict themselves
and refused to talk. They were re.
leased, but yesterday were ordered
before the grand jury. The jury
men commanded the reporters to
tell how they had gotten into the
room and what they had seen and
heard. They refused to answer
questions. The law was read to
them, providing for six months i'm
prisonment for giving away grand
Jury secrets and they were threat
ened with punishment. Foreman
Piggott finally came to the rescue
with the statement that he did aot
believe the ofense wonld be repeat
ID if the boys were released. Pros
scuting Attorney Scott, against
vhom such fight was made be-
cause of his alleged whitewashing
before the jury, yesterday
appointed Herman w. Craven as q
leputy. Craven will be partly used
n directing the grand jury, al
hough Scott declares that he will

Manila, Feb. ~ "A force of La
drones under General San Miguel
reapreared in Rial province yes
terday. They avoided an engage.
ment with the main force in the
south, but captured three small de-
'tachments of constabulary. The
enemy surrounded the towns OF
Oainta and Taytay, II miles east
of Manila, Saturday, and captured
40 scouts and ten men of the con-
stabulary, whom they afterward
set free.
Today Inspector .MeIlwayne, at
the head of the constabulary, was
surprised and captured near Mon
talban, 16 miles north of Manila.
The Ladrones promised to release
them if the constabulary would sur.
render their arms. While they
were conferring on this point Nc
Ilwaine made a dash for liberty,
and he and all the constabulary eff
fected their escape.
When the news Of the reappear-
ance of General San Migue1's for
ces reached Manila reinforcement
of scouts and constabulary were
into the Rial province.
General Allen and Colonel Scott
went to Antipolo and assumed COM
mand of the forces there. They
met with small detachments of the
enemy, and a few skirmishes took
place. They were, however, una
bic to locate the main body o9 La
drones. General Allen aud Colonel
Scott are continuing the pursuit,
and hope to overtake the released
prisoners.
