FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. IL, 1907
Mr.. Teal.

A notable address at the Albany
Shippers convention was by Joseph
N. Teal. He is a Portland lawyer
who diverged enough from the du-
ties of a crowded legal business to
become interested In the ethics Of
transportation. Those who heard
his address at Albany know he is a
master of the subject. There is
perhaps heredity in it, for his
father took the first steamboat up
the Willamette to the city of Eu-
gene. He was the late Joseph
Teal, one of the prominent figures
in early Oregon, and we'll known
to all pioneers. He was factor
in the Willamette River Transpor-
tation Company, which ran a line
of steamers on the Willamette for
years. The maternal side of the
house was one of the Lane county
Colemans, a woman of noble and
substantial character, still living in
Portland. One of the SONS is Ben
Teal brilliant man who stands in
the foreground among the dramatic
managers in New York. b..
Incidentally, men OF the Teal
type are of highest value to state.
Their mentality gives them an ex-
tended horizon. They see the light
and are broad enough to help show
it to others. They have grasp on
the rights and hopes of men and
willing to make struggle for the
good of all. Mr.. Teal has spent
generously of time and money in
efforts at alleviation of transporta.
ton conditions. He has twice at
tended the Rivers and Harbors
congress, and the last time he and
Governor Chamberlain made the
principal addresses. He, more
than any other man, has led in the
fight for opening the upper Colum-
bia to an unfettered traffic.
In the Albany speech, he struck
blows right and left in behalf Of an
open and free Willamette. He is the
type of man that, for the sake Of
communities, the regret is, that
there are not more.
Mr.. Teals subject at Albany was
Transportation Conditions" and
his theme the advocacy of a rail-
road commission. His knowledge
of the subject is complete. and his
presentation masterful. The righ,
of the state TO actually fix rates
and the necessity for the state to
either control the railroads or be
controlled was established. The
clearly defined attitude of the courts
in authorizing regulation was made
plain and the urgency for the citi
zen to enter upon that function wa:
made v1vidly apparent. The ad'
dress left no doubt among those
who heard it, the urgency and the
efficiency Of such a commission a:
Mr.. Teal proposes. -

EVIDENCE COMES HARD

Employees Answer Briefly in the Stand
ard Oil Trial.
Chicago, March 12.-Several former
employees of the Alton railroad testi-
fled in the Standard Oil trial yesterday
and identified papers showing that the
company shipped oil from Whiting,
Ind, to st Louis during the time COW
cred by the indictments.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced in obtaining evidence from the
employees of the Standard Oil Compa-
ny. Judge Lands finally interfered
in the case Of one witness whose an
swers he considered unnecessarily
brief and said if the witness was able
to answer the questions he must do so,
but if he could not he must say 80.
The attorneys for the prosecution
brought into court during the after
noon many waybills of the Chicago &
Alton Railroad Company, which indi-
Gated charge of Is cents per hum
dred pounds upon oil shipments from
Chappell, Ills. to East st. Louis. The
greater portion of the afternoon was
occupied in identifying waybills and
routing orders.

SECRETARY STRAUs TO
REFORM BOAT INSPECTION

Washington, March 11.-Secretary
Strauss, OF the department of COM
MERGE and labor, is greatly dissatisfied
with the present methods of steamboat
inspection, and has just announced
that marked reform is to be immedi-
ately inaugurated with view to in
creased efficiency of service and re-
duclng the chances of disaster He
has directed a change in the station of
all inspectors of bulls and boilers
throughout the United States and will
ask congress next winter to authorize
him to keep inspectors continually on
the move.
Inspector of Hulls Donald s. Ames,
of Portland, is ordered to Seattle and
will be succeeded by William Howe,
of San Francisco. Inspector of Boilers
George @. Weldin goes from Portland
to Seattle and is succeeded by John E..
Lynn, of San Francisco. The follow
ing other changes are made on the Pa
cific coast:
Inspectors of Hulls James Guthrie
and Thomas E. Deering 60 from San
Francisco to Seattle, and Evan Grit
fifth, Frank Fl. Turner and Edward g..
Rouse from Seattle to San Francisco.
Inspectors of Boilers Joseph T. Dolan
and Carl S. Lenhop, Of San Francisco,
60 to Seattle and 81. @. Lord, John D..
Wolters and Thomas Short from Seat
tie to San Francisco.
Mr.. Straus believes that if inspect
ors are constantly shifted, there will
be less certifying of deficient ships and
less chance for briery. Tho further
improve the service he has ordered
that inspections, instead of being made
yearly, shall be made four times year
hereafter, and extra precautions be
taken in inspecting steamers engaged
in summer excursion business.
Inspector General Uhler will make
q complete tour of the United States
this summer and inspect the papers OF
all masters, pilots and engineers issued
within the past two or three years. he
will revoke the licenses of men found
to he incompetent.
