.TRIEST TESTIFIES IN
UNITED HATTERS' CASE
Witness States Boycott Fol.
lowed Refusal to End Busi=
ness With Manufacturers

Martin Triest of the firm of Triest &
Co, f34 Mission street, was the princi-
pal witness yesterday at the taking
OF depositions in the suit of D. Loewe

council not to purchase or handle any
goods from Loewe & Co.'S factory
Triest stated that, inasmuch as his bus
mess with the eastern manufacturers
amounted yearly to more than 100000
he had refused to acquiesce, and that
this refusal to acceed TO the demand of
the unionists resulted in a boycott be-
ing declared against his store. Loewe

QUARANTINE RULES
VEX SHIP OWNERS
Order Requiring Large Tenders
Alongside State WEarves
Makes Docking Difficult
Harbor Commissioners and Fed
eral Officers Refuse to Modify
Anti=Plague Regulations

Local ship owners are on the horns
devil and the deep sea or, to be more
exact, between the board of harbor COM
missioners and the federal quarantine
authorities The trouble originated
with the rat that fed the flea that bit
the man that sickened of plague that
scared the medicos and started the
campaign of cleanliness and fumigation.
The authorities OF ports, foreign and
domestic. doing business with San
Francisco agreed that in spite of the
plague they would continue to do bust
ness with this port. provided the steam
ers observed certain precautions. They
agreed to accept a certificate from the
federal quarantine officer here as a
guarantee that these precautions had
been observed.
ADVANTAGE is FORGOTTEN
This was so long ago that some of
the ship owners have forgotten that the
observance of these regulations was
the price they had to pay for admission
to other ports and hold the federal of
ficials here responsible for all the in
convenience involved. One of the pre-
cautions requires that a vessel shall
wear rat tunnels on all lines while
alongside a wharf and be Tended six
feet away from the wharf
The use of small tenders by large
vessels resulted in the breaking of
many piles, so. at a recent meeting the
harbor commissioners decreed tAtt no
fender less than 30 feet in length
should be used by any vessel moored
alongside a state wharf The ship
owners appealed to the harbor com
missioners for modification of this or
der. but the commissioners declined to
make any exception.
You must see the federal doctors" :"
said President Stafford Get them TO
quit and you will not need fenders.'''
Representatives of the ship owners
association took the matter up yester-
day with Dr. Hobby. chief quarantine
officer. They explained that many of
their ships could not carry 40-foot
tenders, and carry their tenders they
must, if they would earn their certifi-
cate and avoid loss of time.
DOCTOR SUGGESTS RELIEF
DR. Hobby suggested that the ship
owners ask the state to build suitable
tenders for each wharf and charge a
reasonable rental for their use. He
told them that the present precautions
would be necessary perhaps for six
months to come.
And this is the predicament in which
the ship owners found themselves yes
terday afternoon: To get q clean bill
of health they must fend their ships
six feet away from the wharf To get
a berth at any dock they must use a
fender that is several sizes too big for
many of their ships to carry. The men
that made the six foot rule refer them
TO the men that established the big
minimum for tenders and the fender
men send them for relief to the authors
of the Siy foot

STEEL SHORTAGE
HINDERS WORK
COMPLETION OF GRANGEvuLE
LINE DELAYED BY LACK OF
CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
GRAIN HAULING HAMPERED.

Steel shortage may delay the COM
pletion of the railroad into Grange
Vile, Is the report received in the
city today from the construction
camps. where delays have been occa-
stoned because of the inability of the
railroad company to secure the steel
as fast as needed. The rails were
laid into Cottonwood several days
ago, and but about Is miles across
the prairie separate the bands of
steel from the terminus.
The delay in the delivery of steel
has allowed the ballasting forces to
keep well up with this feature of the
work, and the grain companies will
urge that supply cars be loaded with
the prairie crop before being return
ed to the main line. BY handling
the grain through the construction
department it Is expected that the
prairie crop can be removed before
the car shortage materially effects
the Western grain sections. and but
little grain will remain in the ware
houses when the line is completed
Tito Grangeville and turned over to
the operating department.

VISIT OF SEATTLE BOOSTERS.
Remember Gateway City in Their
Swing Through Inland Empire.

The delegation Of Seattle business
men spent last night in the city and
departed at $50 o'clock this morn
ing on their swing through the
northern part of the Inland Empire.
The Seattle visitors have received
new and favorable Impressions OF the
Lewiston country, and their visit
here can but result in general
benefit to both cities. The opening
Of the road between Riparia and
Pasco will complete the direct route
between Lewiston and Seattle, and
practically place the Seattle, Port
land and Spokane jobbers upon an
equal footing. The business rela-
tions of the two cities were more
firmly cemented by the visit OF the
Seattle men last night, and the re-
suits can only be beneficial.
The Seattle party is travelling by
special train equipped with all con
veniences The party will make
brief stops between Lewiston and
Spokane and will spend the evening
with the Spokane business men.
