Complaint to be Filed with Commits
sion.
SALEM, Ore, April 2S.-Replying
to the notice of the Oregon railroad
commission which was to the effect
that the increase of the transconti-
mental freight rates are excessive
and unjust, and that complaint
would be made to the interstate COM
MERGE commission unless the rates in
force prior to January. 1909 was re-
established. the attorneys of Hill and
Hartman today intimated that the
rates would not be reduced without
a fight.
Attorney Cotton, for Hartman in
a letter to the commission says: THE
commission can assume that no &C
ton will be taken by the railroads to
substitute the old rates for the new
ones" The other roads have asked
for a further statement of facts with
relation to the case.

LID IS DOWN ON
RIVER TOWNS
St. Joe and St. Maries Feel Blow
From the Law

The lid was pressed down on the
towns OF st. Maries and St. Joe, and
other up-river towns yesterday when
Sheriff Bailey confiscated a slot ma
chine, and also notified all the pro-
prietors and operators OF saloons that
no gambling must be permitted in
their establishments, that all box
rustling by women must be eliminat-
ed and that they must not be permit
ted to frequent these establishments
for the purpose of drinking.
Slot Machines COnfiscated.
Sheriff Bailey, early in his admin
istration indicated that he would not
tolerate violation of the gambling
laws in any respect, and to that end
directed that all the establishments
where slot machines were operated
must cease to operate them or they
would be arrested and their property
confiscated. Generally throughout
the country there was a compliance
with his request, but yesterday when
he had occasion to visit St. Maries he
found a money machine in operation
in the saloon of Geo. Lashbrook, and
he confiscated it and brought 1t to
the city with him.
No More Box RustIing.
He also learned that the custom
which has prevailed in the up-river
country ever since the new towns
there sprung into existence by reason
of the development of the surround
ing timber country, of allowing wo-
men to frequent the saloons and pur-
chase and drink intoxicants, and also
to rustic drinks on a percentage ba-
sis for the house was still in contin-
uance, and he directed that this must
cease. The proprietor of the Ar
cade theatre, of st. Joe, one of the
most notorious places Of its kind, has
been doing a fourishing business by
having women rustlers, but its day
of prosperity alon gthis line is now a
thing of the past as it will no longer
be tolerated and any women who are
apprehended in any saloon drinking
or rustling drinks for the house will
bee arrested and declared Migrants
and dealt with accordingly.
Law to be Strictly Enforced.
All of the saloon men have been
given a reasonable length of time to
dispose of their gambling paraphern-
ALA, and otherwise make arrange
ments so as to comply with the or.
ders issued by the sheriff, and when
this time shall have passed the var
ious towns will be visited by the of.
flcers, and If any violations of the law
are discovered arrests will follow. II
is the intention of the sheriff officials
to strictly enforce the laws on tht
statute books, and to that end the
various towns will be visited from
time to time for the purpose of see
ing that they are complied with.

Judge Lenient With John Nc
Couch After Spree.

Though penitent when arraigned in
the First Precinct Court today, John
McGouch, of 157 Wallace street, must
have had the section of the city around
Pennsylvania avenue in an uproar for
the last day or two. According to wit
nesses, MeGouch. who has been drink
ing heavily of late, has beaten his wife,
and, it is said, threatened her life on
several occasions, once brandishing a
large carving knife in order to frighten
her she claims.
On account of the appearance in court
OF his employer, Judge Hahn was dis
posed to be lenient, when told that the
man had been employed in the same
place for thirteen years, without miss
ing a day, and he adjourned the case
for two weeks to give McGouch a
chance to show that he intends to keep
his promise of good behaviour.
