Producers and Manufacturer on Rate
Making.

The Board Of Trade of San Francisco,
embracing in its membership practical
ly all the wholesale and shipping houses
of the chief city Of The Pacific Coast,
has adopted the following as the opln-
ion of its members upon a large and
carefully considered question:
Whereas, The present welfare of
the manufacturers, producers, whole
salers and jobbers Of the Pacific Coast
and the future growth and develop
ment of their various and varied busi-
ness interests depend largely upon a
system Of rate-making by the trans
continental railroads, by which the ter
minal rate to which the jObbing and
manufacturing cities Of the Coast are
justly entitled by reason Of water COM
petition is recognized, and
Whereas, The assistance rendered
the manufacturers, wholesalers and job
bers of the Pacific Coast by the trans
continental railroads in combating an
effort to establish rates based on dis
lance or mileage, satisfies US that the
interests Of the Coast will best be
served by leaving the authority to make
rates where it is now, in the hIEds of
the carriers, who are familiar with the
exceptional conditions on the Pacific
Coast and the Northwest, subject to re.
view by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission upon complaint of the shipper
who feels that given rate is wrong
now, therefore, be it

Aged Portland Official Charged With
Failure to Enforce Law Against

House.

PORTLAND, Ore, jan George
H. Williams, once chief justice of
Oregon territory, forme1y United
States Senator from Oregon, Attor-
ney General in President Grants sec
ond cabinet, and now mayor of Port
land, with the SHOWS of SO winters
on his head, has been indicted by a
grand jury of Multnomah county on
charge of maIfesance in office The
Indictment states that on July 49,
1904, Judge Williams, while mayor of
Portland, refused to enforce the stat
utes regarding gambling. This law,
which was passed at the last session
of the Legislature. gives the mayor
power to close disorderly houses
within four miles of the city, and it
is alleged that he failed to avail him
self of that power.
Several of the city officials were
also indicted on similar charge.
