UNDER A
PILLOW
Maid at Willamette Hotel
Fonnd $1,000 in Max
ing Up Bed

Since Mary Behenna found s92Oo
under a pillow at the Willamette ho-
tel Yesterday while she was making
up a bed, 1t is probable that the hab'
lit of making up beds in hotels will
now become general.
The money was left there by e. j.
Arnold, the "merry-go-round" man,
and he had an uncomfortable half
hour, until he was handed his purse
by Mrs. J. Conners, OF the hotel yes
terday.
Arnold was so overcome with JOY
when he found his money that he
peeled fve-dollar bill off the roll to
reward the girl, but when Mrs. Con-
ners took the maid the s., Mary said
she only expected four-bits.
Arnold is one of those Guineas
who carry their wealth around in a
belt like a liver pad and sleep on
it. He had accumulated $4,000, and
Wednesday night he put it under his
pillow, and went to sleep. He for
got all about 1t, and next morning
while on the streets wanted to spend
five cents for something, and began
to unbutton to get at his liver pad.
CONSERVATION stared him in the Wis.,
age. His boarded wealth was gone.
He ran in frantic haste to the hotel,
and when he approached the desk
was too breathless to speak. Mrs.
COnners threw him greasy looking
wallet and said: Here's your pock-
etbook; the girl found it in your
room"
Figuratlyely speaking, the man
dropped dead and was carried out on
a shutter.
Then it was that he made the ten
der of the five-dollar donation.
Mr.. Arnold is the owner of a string

In referring to Salem, my home
town, which you are doubtless aware
is the capital city of the state, wish
to say that Salem is naturally a cen
ter. Being the capital city brings a
great number of persons having bust

ing the county seat of Marion coun-

our town attending to business with
the recorder. the clerk, the sheriff,
the assessor, the school superintend-
ent, and other officers. We are the
great hop center of Oregon. We will
handle close to $4,000 bales of hops
in Salem this year. Within a radius
of 90 miles we raise 25 per cent of
all the hops raised or grown in the
whole United States. BY reason of
these natural advantages,I firmly be
lieve that line from your city

enterprise. You have business with

RA REDUCTION
State oficial Thinks They Will
Refuse to Comply with 90 Per
Cent Cut. in Tariffs.

Minnesota railroads will fight the
forthcoming order of the state railroad
commission, reducing conlmo ditys rates
on grain, coal, lumber, livestock and
other bulk freight.
w. e. Young OF the state railroad
commission, is authority for this state
ment, and it is presumed that the roads
will not accept the reduction, as they
did the reduction in merchandise rates,
They will stand on the position that
The voluntary red ton on grain and
coal, niadesin September. was sufficient.
and that the coming order will be CON
5fiscatory. This will mean a prolonged
battle in the courts Of the state and
the United States. 81,
It is rumored that the commission
has agreed to- eduction that will
average about 20 per cent. Added to
the Topper cent reduction made in the
fall, this would mean a 30 per cent cut
on grain rates. within the state. it
would also operat e to reduce rates from
the Dakotas to the Minneapolis and
Duluth markets. sss#s5
The commission s Older will probably
take the form of ia maximum tariff
schedule, giving the highest rate that
may be. charged for any given distance.
The roads will be given thirty days in
which to get out tariffs complying with
the order. If they refuse, the matter
may be brought into court in various
ways. Tt may be formal appeal to
the district court from the commission 8
order. The roads may simply refuse,
and let the state take the Initiative in
forcing them to comply. Or they may
get the proceeding reviewed by the
federal courts, on the complaint Of nom
resident stock ders. This was done in
the famous n ebraska case, which the
roads finally won. : . s.

1.-THE inclosed clippings will give you
fairly correct idea of the fuel and car
situation conditions in the northwest.
Mr.. Harlan and myself, on arriving,
sent kilograms to every town in North
Dakota, asking If they needed coal.
The answers show little present suffer
ing but a most dismal outlook. We
then called the railroad officials before
us and they promised to carry coal to
all distressed points. This noon we
wired back to all the towns. AS there
are plenty Of ore cars now available
for handling coal, I think the danger
of distress from lack of fuel may be
said to be past.
