NOT PARTISAN MEASURE
Father Of Reciprocal Demurrage Law
Says Trainers Looked Only
to General Good.

Representative Chaplin, of Multi
nomah County, states his position on
the criticism which has been made
that the reciprocal demurrage bill he
has introduced is political measure.
He says:
II take issue with the contentious
raised against the commission bill
introduced by me and drawn by the
transportation committee Of the
Chamber Of Commerce OF Portland.
find that practically all the opposition
so far found to the measure arises
from strictly party grounds. / dis
cover from talk with those who have
so far discussed the bill that the only
objection found with it arises from
the provision that Governor Chamber
lain is given the appointive power In
the creation OF the commission after
the enactment OF the bill. The great
fear is that it will be used as means
to increase Democratic patronage. II
is said by the partisan press that the
intent of the bill is political and that
it has been drawn to this end, and !
take exception to this statement.

tiaued Mr. Chaplin, "as can be found

the interest OF himself or Of Governor
Chamberlain. That cry has been
raised in interested quarters to befog

Republican Legislature would
certainly have against any measure
intended for Democratic gain. 1t Is
not a Democratic measure and is not
intended for Democratic gain. 1t was
not drawn by Mr.. Teal in his interest
or in the interest Of Governor
Chamberlain or any patronage. The
bill is not creation Of Mr.. Teal, but
is compilation Of the Wisconsin and
the iowa laws which have been
operative and effective for some time
and which were therefore valuable
standards and foundations for the
formation of the Oregon draft.

are looking ahead with broad view
to the future good Of the State, not

LUMBER TRADE is BRISK
Supply Of Cars For California Ship
ments Is Far Short OF Demand.

Replying to an inquiry Of the Ore
gon Timberman as to trade conditions
and the outlook for the lumber busi-
ness In the Dallas district, George I.
Gerlingsr, secretary and general
manager OF the Willamette Valley
Lumber Company writes as follows;
Dallas, Ore. January 10, 1907.
The Timberman: Replying to your
letter Of January 2, we consider that
the lumber business for the year 1906
has been very good. We have, how
ever, been greatly disappointed and
lost many thousand dollars through
the inability Of the railroad companies
to supply us equipment for California
business. Regarding the prospect for
1907, we feel that the year will be even
better than 1906, but we cannot feel at
all optimistic regarding the car stu
alton for Southern shipment. In fact
we believe that the same bad condition
will exist throughout the year.
Yours truly,
WILLAMETTE VALLEY LBR. CO.

Probably 250 or 300 bales of cotton
came in yesterday to swell the total
in Americus warehouses, and in cot
ton circles generally there were evil
dences of greatest activity. For the
season is on in Americus, and the fee
cy tide is rolling.
Fifteen hundred bales will make
up the weeks receipts in Americus;
pretty good for a week thus early in
the season.
And the price-13 IL cents-al-
most too good to be true.
At the L. G. Council Warehouse, for
instance, one lot of 1O3 bales sold by
Mr.. Council brought $7,225.53, or an
average price of more than $40 per
bale. This is a happy condition, and
one calculated to make the farmer
smile.
At that warehouse alone yesterday
the wagon receipts were 120 bales, the
first day upon which the hundred
bale mark has been reached by any
house here.
And today the receipts at all the
warehouses will stack up until the
500 bale mark, probably, is passed by

nothing doing here.
Then came the order Friday from
headquarters to get to work or get
out" Offices over the state were
opened up this week rapidly as new
men could be secured to handle the
keys, and yesterday Americus was
next on the list.
Manager Legg at once took hold,
and during the day handled expedi-
tiously all the messages rendered. And
there was a bunch of them, one may be
sure. For the first time in eighteen
days press matter was handled here.
A policeman was kept on duty
near the front of the Western Union
Office all day, but there was little de-
monstration upon the part of the strik-
ers or their sympathizers.
1t is expected that the Postal Tele-
graph Cos Office, now closed, will be
likewise Strengthened out in a very
short time The company has re-
sumed business in Albany, with a new

The strike" situation in Americus
assumed an altogether different phase
yesterday morning when B. H. Legg,
the newly appointed manager here,
called upon Chief of Police Feagin
for the keys and once more opened
up the local office.
The Office had been closed since
Saturday last when former Manager
Clark, upon orders from the superin-
tendent, surrendered the keys to the
chief and got out.
And for the first time in nearly three
weeks Americus has wire communica-
ton again.
Manager Legg soon had the office
put in shape for business. The wires
which were cut by unknown parties
last week were soon repaired, and by
10 o'clock the Office announced ready
for business and was taking messages.
The changed situation afforded an
immense relief to the business men
of the city who, for almost three
weeks, were unable to get messages
through to any point. In fact, stagna-
tion, almost, prevailed in commercial
circles in Americus.
Both Offices were tied up by the

THE RIGHT TOROUTE
FREIGHT IS SUBJECT
Discussed Yesterday By Agents
of Lines.

CHICAGO, ILL, August 29.-Rep-
resentatives of influential commercial
organizations throughout the coun-
try were on hand today at the open
ing of the conference called by the
National Industrial League. The
expressed purpose of the league
which was formed at a conference
here three weeks ago, is to weld to-
gether and make more effective the
efforts of the members toward what
some of them term commercial free
dom.
The league will endeavor to bring
about a better cooperation between
the shippers, railroads and the fed
eral and state railroad commissions
in matters of mutual concern.
Perhaps the most important sub
ject W for consideration at the present
meeting is the ruling giving to the
initial railroad the right to route the
freight. The shippers believe that
with the right to route their freight
as they please they will be able tc
secure better service from the roads
and they insist that it is their legal
right.
