PORTLAND, July 6.-Charging
that the o. r. & N. company did not
furnish cars in which to ship wheat rs
the east until from As to Isl days af-
ter they were ordered. the Interior
Warehouse company has filed suit in
the state circuit court for S31,S36 dam
ages from the railroad company.
The quickest time in which the COM
pany furnished cars was As days, ac-
cording to the complaint. and the
longest was five months. The suit
grew out of an attempt by the ware
house company to supply wheat to
eastern dealers in 1904, when the
grain crop in the east was short.
There was a large demand in Ore
gon. Washington and Idaho for wheat
to ship to Minneapolis, Chicago, Du-
luth. St. Louis. Baltimore and Battle
Creek. says the complaint. and at that
time the o. r. & N. company was ad-
vertising for freight to handle, es-
pecially wheat, and represented that
it had ample facilities for transporta-
ton of grain.
Relying on these representations,
says the complaints. the warehouse
company bought large quantities OF

pany was compelled to buy grain in
Chicago at heavy loss to deliver on
their contracts In other cases the

vanced after the contracts were made
the warehouse company had to pay 10
the eastern dealers the difference be-
tween the contract price and the mar
ket price at the time the wheat should
have been delivered in the east.
The storing of the immense quantl-
tbs of grain in warehouses along the
o. R. & N. lines entailed expenses OF
storage, insurance, employment of Ia
Dor. and represented large sums OF
money. The warehouse company seeks
to recover from the railroad company
the cost of insurance and storage, the
amounts paid for labor and other eX-
penses, as well as The interest that IN
money invested in the wheat would
have earned had it not been tied up.
This is the first suit filed in the To-
cal courts for damages growing ont

embarrassed Oregon industries for

STREETS PAVED WITH COLO
Seattle Thinks Costly Avenues Are
Really Golden

SEATTLE, July Can it be posi-
BILE that the streets of the city of Sc
attic are paved with gold?
No high flown metaphor, no fancy
figure of speech, is wrapped up in
the above question. Recent facts point
strongly to the conclusion that pos
sibly millions of dollars in actual gold
are scattered along the hundreds or
miles of streets that go to make the
northwest metropolis.
History has but one other instance
of a similar condition of affairs being
discovered, that is, of course. II from
considerat ton is excluded the HOLY
CITY. the New Jerusalem whose
streets We are assured are paved with
gold. And that instance is modern
one. and the treasure buried along
the thoroughfares was in the form OF
an enormous number of splendid dla-
monds. johannesburg where this nap
pened had for years been paving her
streets with gravel from one OF the
richest diamond mines in the world,
and when the diamonds began to be
found in the city gravel pit the
streets were re-dug and over five bill
lion dollars worth of rough stones
were picked out of the paving.
But what has that to do with Seat
tie? some may ask.
II has this much to do. that Seat
ties case is exactly parallel. For sew
eral wears now the streets of Seattle,
whenever repairs were needed, have
been recovered with gravel from one
particular pit. That pit is situated at
Green Lake not far from the GROUNDS
of the Alaska Yukon-Pacific eXposl-
ton which will be held in 1909, and IS
the property of one of the cl'ys most
prominent citizens, Jacob F'urth. i
was only couple of weeks ago tnat
the discovery was made that this pit
contained free gold in very generous
quantities. Every days gravel dug
from the pit contains probably num-
dred dollars worth of gold and its
attendant black sand.
While true. at present. it may not
nav to work the nit as gold mlne'
sill there is absolutely no doubt but
that there hundreds of thousands OF
free gold in this nit. AMI it is quite
certain that any future discoveries IN
the line of the cheaper handling of low
grade eravels will turn the pit ana
Seattle's streets and sidewalks as weii'
into gold mines that will pay fully as
we'll as many of the creeks OF the
KlOndike and the Tanana.

FURNISHES THE REQ CEDAR
Washington Produces Three-fifths
Of The Shingles Used

The United States now uses from 10
to Is billion shingles a year. Figures
for the production in 1906 have just
been compiled, states a Seattle report.
of about one-fifth from that of the
previous year. The use of other roof
ing material such as slate. steel and
various compositions, is growing, but
the main explanation of the smaller
quantity of shingles produced is to be
found not in such substitutiOns, but in
the temporary check caused late in
1906 by prices unsatisfactory to the
western manufacturer, combined later
with the difficulties due to the short
age of cars.
The production last year was nearly
II billion shingles, against more than
Is billion the year before. of these
nearly nine billion were cedar Cypress
and redwood follow next. but far be
hind. with a combined output of some
thing over two billions.
Not many years ago the east drew
its supply of shingles mainly from the
north Atlantic and Lake states. 1t still
is thought by many eastern users of
shingles that the eastern white cedar
makes a better single than the west
ern red cedar. or giant arborvitae. Bun
the forests of the east are no longer
equal to the demand. The part played
by the northwest in supplying the
market may be seen by the fact that
three fifthS ow all the cedar comes
from Washington. Cypress represents
the chief contribution of the south to
the general market, though half a bill
! lion of shingles We're contributed to
! the 1906 supply by yellow pine. Red
wood shingles come exclusively from
northern California.
Western red cedar shingles nov
reach all the principal markets of the
| United States and furnish an import
| ant item in the tonnage of the north
ern transcontinental lines. This is a
atural consequence of the fact that
the bulk of the population of the coun-
! try is in the east while the bulk OF
| the shingles manufactured are pro-
duced in the west
The United States exported uuf;ng
/ the year about 26 million shingles
more than 95 per cent of which went
/ to other North American countries. 1t
! imported less than one million, of
which 100000 entered by the northern
