LITTLE HOPE FOR THEM
Northwest Shippers Can't Get Lower
Freight Rates.

The business men of the northwest,
who have been petitioning for lower
freight rates on various articles since
the advanced schedule went into eff
feet January IS last, will not get many
pleasant surprises as a result of the
meeting of the Transcontinental
Freight Bureau in California. At
cal freight men who have studied the
situation and are in touch with the
operations of the bureau. That some
reductions will be made that will be
beneficial to Portland and other north
western cities is granted, but it is be-
lieved that the majority of requests
for better rates will be turned down,
or at least referred to the meeting in
Chicago, which is to be held al a later
date The freight bureau met at Mon
terey May and adjourned on
Thursday to San Francisco. It's work
will, in all probability be completed
at that place. Such changes as are
made Will then be announced ana tor
further relief. the shippers viii have
to present their cases to the general
meeting in Chicago.
1t Will be remembered that on jan

went INTO effect WhIch advanced
freight rates on almost al articles OF
commerce 10 to 80 percent. The eX-
planation for this advance made by
the railroads was that the cost OF
maintenance OF the roads ana cost OF
labor was increasing; that the business
men We're getting better prices Tor
their MATERIAL and lastly that the
roads We're entitled to a greater proht
on freight. 1t was stated that many
articles We're being hauled at rate
entirely too low.
The business men and shippers did
not see the advance in this same light
They considered the advance almost
prohibitiHe in many instances, and

A Warm Contest for Guberna-

GOV. YATES WANTS A SECOND TERM

for Roosevelt.
SPRINGFIELD, H., May 12.-Ihe

SPRINGFIELD, H., May 12-The
Illinois republican convention here to-
day is the largest ever held in this
state. There are plenty of indications
it will also be the liveliest. In addl-
ton to choosing delegates at large and
aIternateS to the national convention
the convention this year is called up
on to nominate candidates for governor
and other state officers to be voted for
this fan. The selection of delegates
to the Chicago convention and the in
dorsement of President Roosevelt will
be little more than a formality. All
interest centers in the nominations for
state offices. The city is alive today
with candidates for the nominations.
Their friends are also here in force.
For months the race for the CUBE
lively earnest and is increasing in
intensity. Governor Yates early an
nomced his candidacy for renomina-
tion. Backed by the state machine he
has stumped the state from Carlo to
Chicago and has left nothing undone
that would add to his strength. The
governor viii go into the convention
with a good lead in the number of in
structel delegates, though the num-
bp1. is c0nGidpr1 blV below that neceS-
sary to secure the nomination.
The first candidate in the field
against Governor Yates was Col.
Frank Q. LoWden of Chicago. Col.
LoWden is a son-in-laW Of the late
George NJ. Pullman, the palace car
builder. During the last five or six
years he has engaged actively in pol
itics, but has never held public office.
Col. LoWden has brought all his guns
to bear against the republican state
machine and his campaign has been as
active in all respects as has that of
Governor Yates. The latter has been
at odds more or less with the present
national administration and it was ex-
pected when Col. Lowden entered the
race for the gOVernOrship he would
receive valuable support from Wash
ington. Evidently, however, these ex-
pectations have not panned out very
well, for the talk of federal patronage
has failed to attract any great number
to the Lowden camp and furthermore
