ELIMINATES DIFFERENT|AL
Wheat Rates to Portland Are to be Reduced
by the 0. r. & n Company.
Discrimination Thirty Owners
Favor 20 BE he'd
O. X. * n. Territory Lower

Local grain men announce that with
the concessions secured from sailing YES
sci owners out of Portland that wheat
rates in the 0. r. &. n. territory will be
adjusted without recourse to the state
railroad commission. The grain dealers
base their prediction on the following
statement in the Portland Greg oman
which is republished in The Gazette by
request and on the ground that the
Spokesman Review failed to, in fairness.
give space to the Portland story. It
follows:
The unwarranted, unjust and un-
reasonable discrimination of 80 cents a
ton levied by the International Associa-
tion OF Sailing ship Owners against
Portland has been eliminated, and as
soon as the new schedule Of rates can be
worked out the wheat growers ia the O
K 4 n. territory will again be on even
terms with those on lines tributary to
Puget Sound At no time in the past
three years, since the differential was es-
tablished, has there been any valid rea-
son for its eXistance, but all attempts
to induce the shpowners to remove it
have been futile Oa wheat destined for
San Francisco or for shipment by
steamer to Europe or the Orient it was
possible for Portland shippers to pay
the growers in exclusively O. r. & n.
territory fully as high prices for Port
land shipment as was paid in Northern
Pacific or Great Northern territory for
shipment to Puget Sound. But on
wheat destined for Europe in sailing yes
sells, the dlfferentiaI Of Is Sd per ton
could not easily be overcome.
Failing to dislOdge the shipOwners
from their unwarranted stand against
Portland, the D. r.. 4 n Go. has at last
taken the matter into its own hands,
and will eliminate the differential by re-
ducing the rail rates on all wheat shipped
from the Pacific Northwest to go foreign
on sailing ships from Portland. The
differential Of Is Sd is for a long ton of
224O pounds, and the freight reduction
will he of the same proportion.

WHITMAN COLLEGE NOTES.

Founders Day Was celebrated at Whit
man College by great meeting in the
college chapel An effort had been made
TO nave present representatives from
every epoch Of the colleges DEVELOPMENT
from lCs founding as seminary in 1866
till the present time. Representatives OF
the first class which met at Whitman
seminary Ia 1866, many of whom came
long distances, were present and were
atterWard entertained at luncheon given
IN their honor. Three historical adj
dresses OF unusual value were given.
"Old Seminary Days, in which much
ne" material was presented by Mr.. W s.
Clark; "RefOunding of the College bv
President Anderson" by Mr.. Marvin
Evans, $50; and Developments Since
President Anders0n's Administration. I"
by Mrs. Rosine Edwards Stuart, '95.
This annual celebration serves the vaIu-
able purpose Of collecting all the histOri-
cal material now available for history
OF the institution to be written at some
later day.

The midwinter meeting OF the Council
OF Whitman College consisting of mem.
bers OF the board of trustees, the alumni
and faculty. was held on the evening Of
February 16, at Billings Hall. The
questions discussed were ''The Control
OF College Athletics, and The Abolish
ment OF Football" The prevailing SEN
timent was that the faculty should have
more complete control of athletics and
that Whitman should be prepared to
place herself in sympathetic support of
any movement toward bettering the
game OF football or searching for sat
isfactOry substitute. One of the features
of college football most deprecated was
the tendency Of high schools to copy the
col ege in their devotion to this form Of
| athletics which is considered far to rugged
and vigorous for undeveloped bows.

grain interests were represented at the
meeting by Peter Kerr, of the firm of
Kerr, Clifford X 90; H. b. Wilcox. o. II.
Curry, manager OF the Northwestern
Warehouse Company and David PatullO,
OF BalfOur, Guthrie 4 Co. All OF these
gentlemen were very much pleased with
the adjustment OF the handicap which
has prevented them paying as high
prices IN U. *. x N. territory as they
could pay in that which is tributary to
Puget Sound.
The establishment OF this unjust diffe
entail was an OutgrOwth of the yrOtract-
ed era OF low freIghts which began in
1901 and Is not yet ended. At the most
critical time when tue freight market
was pumping along on the bottom, the
owners perfected an organization known
as the International Association OF Sail
ing ShlpOwners. The association was
organized IN June, 1903, and proceeded
TO establish schedule OF rates for the
Pacific coast ports which would be effec-
tive July l.
This schedule placed the minimum
rate on wheat as follows: From San
Francisco 22s Sd, from Portland 27s Sd.
from Puget Sound 26s 80 per ton.
This season, with u record breaking
crop and no demand from the east, it
became necessary for Portland dealers to
nave ships and to pay the association
rate Tor them. There was no escape
from It, and with tonnage 30 cents per
ton lower on Puget Sound than at Port.

territory had a distinct advantage over

admit that there has been large diyi-
sion Of the tr4iiic at competitive points,
but 1t IL generally believed by the trade
that the diversion his year is 10 excess

BOY TRAINWRECkBRS
William Bartlett AMI L0ran Bur-
nett Turn Railroad Switch.
Has Narrow Escape from Ter
ribIe Catastrophe.

From the study of ministry in Ed
wards college, the United Brethren insti-
tuition at Albion to felOn's cell as a
wOuldbe trainwreckeT is the fate Of
William Bartlett, aged Is, son of Mr.
and Mrs. M. Campbell Of Albion.
With young Bartlett, to serve out a sen
tence Of one year each in the county jail
is LOran Burnett, aged 16. and another
student at Edwards college.
The two boys broke the bolt connect
ing the switch rod and threw the switch
at Shawnee station on the o r. & N.
last Thursday night. But for the quick.
ness and presence Of mind of Engineer IL
E. Corey who pulls the COlfaX Moscow
passenger train and the absence of cars
on the siding at Shawnee a catastrophe
would have resulted in which scores of
lives might have been lost
The passenger train came around the
curve at Shawnee at a speed of about
25 miles an hour. The distance was
such that the engineer, coming around
the curve did not see the misplaced rails
until almost TO late. The train dashed
into the siding but Engineer Corey ap-
piled the emergency brake and stopped
inside Of couple Of train lengths. By
miracle the engine and coaches rode
the rails instead of leaving the track.
Deputy Sheriff Nessly and Roadmaster
Sullivan took up the search for the
guilty parties and on information
gathered arrested William Bartlett at
Edwards college. He confessed and i'm
plicated Burnett who later swore he
secured whiskey from a man named
Twiggs and that while be was out walk
ing the track young Bartlett was ex-
horting him to keep up his religious
W 1rk.
Both boys were arraigned before Judge
Chadwick and pleaded guilty and were
s. ntenced to year in the county jail.
Both boys declare they changed the
switch merely as joke and with no in
tentiOns of Wrecking the train.
