FREIGHT RATES ON GRAIN
PR0NUCTS CUT TO ORIENT
Lowest Tariff Ever Established Goes
Into Effect for Wheat and
Flour from Portland
to Far East

PORTLAND, Ore. May 2S.-Freight
rates for the transportation of wheat
and flour on the regular oriental lines
from all Pacific coast ports to Manila
were cut from 81 to SO a ton this morn
ing. 1t is the lowest tariff that has
ever been in effect to that point by the
regular lines.
The cut was decided upon because of
the low rate at which the Jebsen
Steamship company, an independent
concern, has been hauling freight
across the Pacific. The steamer Shelia,
now loading at Puget sound, will car
ry wheat and flour to Hongkonk and
way ports at 81 a ton less than is
charged by the regular lines
The Jebsen company is engaging
many tramp steamers to add to their
line and is making hard fight against
the association.
Competition has become so keen that
shippers are expecting the announce
ment of still further reductions.

Was at First Credited
with Receiving

session of the Mcclellan Hearst re-
count trial was concluded a total of
forty-one votes had been added to
William r. Hearsts vote in the 1905

the official canvass figures were iden-
teal, the count of the ballots disclosed
twenty three more votes for Hearst
than had been returned. This was the
greatest gain of the day for the Hearst
side, the returns being found correct
in two districts and errors which added
from two to seven to the Hearst total
in four others.
The net result of the count for the
two days session has been to give the
contestant for the mayoralty sixty
