BIG BOND ISSUE
FOR WATERWAYS
Congressman BarthOIdt Wants Five
Hundred Millions for Projects.
Would Make Waterways Commission
Permanent and Relieve House
COMMITTED Work Now in Sight to
Cost S4Oo, 900. 900 - Roosevelt
Favors Plan.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Representa-
tive Bartholdt, OF Missouri, after talk
with President Roosevelt today, an
nounced his intention of introducing
bill as soon as congress meets to give
legal status to the Inland Waterways
commission, which was created by ex-
ecutive act, and another bill providing
for a $500 900, 900 bond issue to estab-
lish fund for permanent great water
way Improvements, leaving the smaller
projects to be taken care of in the regu-
lar river and harbor bills.
1t is proposed to have the Waterway
commission permanent body, which
shall employ experts and keep congress
officially advised as to the merits of
waterway projects. Mr.. Bartholdt Gays
the president regards the plan with IA
vor.
OF his bond plan Mr.. Bartholdt said:
81 believe that the future generations
of the country who will be benefited
by improving nsvigable streams should.
as in the case of the Panama canal,
bear the burden of the expense. Chair
man Burton, Of the committee on rivers
and harbors, has told me that there are
meritorious schemes pending before his
committee that call for an expenditure
OF at least $4OO,O0O,O00. Hardly one
tenth of this can be provided during
session of congress, and the consequence
is that work which would be of inn
mense importance to the United States
is deferred from year to year because
the money to carry it on is not avail
able. All this can be remedied by
bond issue of sufficient size. do not
know Of anything more important than
much needed improvement to the great
streams of the country"

LUMBER CASES CONSOLIDATED
Oregon and Washington Complaints
VIII Be HeaId Together.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The In
terstate Commerce Commission Will
hold but one hearing to dispose OF
the complaints of Oregon and Wash
ington lumber manufacturers against
the new rates on lumber shipped to
Missouri river points and the Middle
West and from points in Oregon to
points in California. The Oregon and
Washington Lumber Manufacturers
Association and the Pacific Coast
Lumber Manufacturers Association
have filed separate complaints with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
but in effect their complaints are
identical, as the rates complained of
are the same from Oregon as from
Washington, the defendant railroads
are the same in each case.
The complaint of the Western Ore
gon Lumber Manufacturers Associa-
tion Is somewhat different, as it ap-
plies only to rates from Oregon to
california established by the South
ern Pacific and the Oregon & Califor-
MIA Railroad companies. At the hear
ing, which will begin December IL,
the railroads will be represented by
their attorneys and the lumbermen
by Teal & Minor, Of Portland; A. E.
Griffiths, Of Seattle; w. II. Abel, OF
Montesano, Wash, and by Wimbish,
Watkins & Ellis, of Atlanta, Ga.
In it's complaint, recently filed
with the Commission, the Oregon and
Washington Lumber Manufacturers
Association, allege that the Hill and
Hartman railroads, by concert of
action absolutely fix and maintain
rates on lumber from Oregon and
Washington to points in the Missis-
sippi Valley, Rocky Mountain and
Plains states, said rate being formu-
lated through the trans-continental
freight bureau at Chicago, said bu-
reau being dominated and controlled
by these two systems.
After setting forth the difference
between the old rates and those
which were to have gone into effect
/, the complainants allege
that this raise in rates is the result
of conspiracy to destroy all compe-
tition among the railroads operating
in the Northwest, and to exact an un-
reasonable compensation for the
of lumber, and that
the railroads, by increasing their
rates, propose to absorb all or near
ly all of the profits of the lumber
men.

RAILROAD CONSPIRACY.
Lumbermen File Protest With Inter-
state Commis sioner.

Washington, Nov. ia conspiracy
between the Hill and Hartman lines
to shut out competition, boost rates for
transportation of lumber from Oregon
and other North Pacific states to the
East, is charged in complaint by prac-
tically all of the big lumber manufact-
urers of those states, which was filed
today with the Interstate Commerce
commission. All the Hill and Harri-
man roads in Oregon are now putting
into effect increased rates at from five
to ten cents per hundred.
"This will greatly injure and to some
extent destroy the lumber industry of
Oregon, an industry yielding products
worth $50, 100000 at the mills and
which is paying the roads $12,oO0,OOO
in freight yearly" says the complaint.
"It is unjust and unreasonable to i'm
pose on this industry the additional
burden TO pay dividends on grossly ex-
cessive capital stock and principal and
interest on excessive bonds"
The manufacturers ask that reason
able rate be fixed by the commission.

ALABAMA FOR PROHIBITION.
After 1908 No Liquor Will Be Sold
in State.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 20.-Un.
precedented scenes were enacted in the
senate chamber Of the historical capitol
of Alabama yesterday when the statu-
tory prohibition bill was passed by q
vote of 80 to 2. Women and children
thronged the corridors and galleries
and even invaded the sanctity Of the
floor itself, pushing the senators from
their seats and giving vent to their
enthusiasm by shouts and cheers that
echoed and re.echoed through the build
ing. Senators who opposed the bill
were hissed down when they arose to
speak against the measure.
When two carloads Of Mobile men
came to lobby against the bill they
found that delegates who favored that
measure had filled the senate galleries
until not seat was left. 1t was the
plan to crowd them out and it succeed
ed. Little children stood in the lob
bies and pinned ribbons on everyone.
Children were kept out of school
yesterday to work against liquor.
The statutory prohibition bill, which
was passed, was in the nature of a
compromise between the antis and pro-
hibitionists The antis, seeing the
handwriting on the wall, agreed to
give up the fight, provided the time
was extended until January l., 1909,
when the sale of whisky will be forbid
den in the state of Alabama. This
amendment will be sent to the house
and will be concurred in without a
fight.

CLOSED 60 D.YS.
Bank Examiner Does Not Expect Bank
to Open Sooner.

Portland, Nov. 2O.-Bank Examiner
Claude Catch has only fairly begun
actual examination into the conditions
of the suspended Merchants National
bank. 1t is said period of 60 days
will probably elapse before the public
can be apprised as to what course the
bank will pursue.
So many Interruptions have occurred
that the bank examiner has not been
able to get down to steady work. The
public has in limited way access to
the banking rooms, and many wish to
see the bank examiner on business af-
fecting the banks affairs. These in
terruptions are said to be nearly always
a preliminary to the work of investigat-
ing suspended bank.
Most of the urgent callers have now
been disposed of, and the examiner ex-
poets to push the examination with all
possible speed. After his report has
been made up it will not be given out
here, but will be forwarded to the
comptroller of currency at Washington

CANNOT MOVE TO
RECOVER DEPOSIT
Treasurer Does Not Have TO Account
for School Funds.
State Has $685. 900 in the Defunct
Title Guarantee & Trust Company
Bank of Portland and No Way to
Recover From Bondsmen Until
Successor to Steel is Elected.

Salem, Or, Nov 21.-No steps have
yet been taken to recover the 1896, 900
deposited by the state treaurer in the
Title Guarantee q Trut company bank,
or to find out whether the state has any
recourse against the surety company
which was surety upon the bond Of the
state treasurer and the trust company
Demand was made for repayment OF
the money, but there the matter rests,
and seems likely to rest, for some time
to come. The surety company has ac-
knowledged liability for 100000 of
the amount, but no more. So far as
known, no arrangements have been
made for. the payment of even this
amount.
Governor Chamberlain has been ear
nestly seeking some means OF enforcing
payment Of the money into the treasury
but has been unable to find any way OF
bringing to legal test the question Of
the liability of Steel and his bonds
men. Though it is publicly known,
and admitted, that the money is gone,
not only from the treasury, but also
from the control of the treasurer, there
is no way Of bringing suit until the
treasurer has been called upon to turn
the money over to some one else and he
fails or refuses to do so. 1t was this
situation that first brought the sugges
tion that the state treasurer should re-
sign, thus making it necessary that he
turn over the funds to his successor, in
default of which a suit would lie against
his bondsmen. But the treasurer has
said that he will not resign, and there
the matter rests. His term will expire
in little over three years, and then a
suit can be brought unless the money
has been paid into the treasury sooner.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON, D. 6.
NAVY RANKS SECOND.
America Rises From Fourth Place in
Two Years

Washington, Nov. 20.-In the last
two years the United States has risen
from The fourth to the second place
among the naval powers of the world.
Two years ago the American navy was
outclassed by the nav.es of England,
France and Germany. Today Great
Britain is the only nation that has a
larger naval tonnage than the United
States. 1t is true that France has more
warships, but the aggregate tonnage OF
the French navy is below that of the
United States. These facts are brought
out in statement Of the Naval Intelli-
gence bureau of the Navy department.
England has 81 first-class battle
ships, 80 armored cruisers, 80 unar-
mored cruisers, 142 torpedo boat de-
stroyers, AZ torpedo boats and 80 sub
marines. The ships now being built
are 7 first. class battlesips. armored
cruisers, l unarmored cruiser, l3 tor
pedo boat destroyers, IA torpedo boats
