hitch rack problem is one of the Sc
rious questions that the city council
is trying to deal with. Already sew

are bombarding the fortresses of the
city with captured cannon, according
to advices today. In a weeks fight

JEFFRIES SAYS BERGER
WASN'T AUTHORIZED

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Sam Berger, is
still unconcerned over Jeffres state
ment that he wasn't authorized to
enter into an agreement on behalf of
the boiler maker for fight with
johnson. 81 had completeauthority
to sign articles" said Berger, 'and
didn't overstep it. The only mistake
| made was in not holding out for a
larger side bet. Jeffres wanted to
make it ten thousand a side and
Johnson objected, but rather than to
give Johnson an opportunity to slide
from under, l agreed to make it five
thousand a side. l believe Jeffries
has been misinformed. The perman-
ent stakeholder is not yet named.

WILL DEVELOP GOLD
MINES NEAR EUGENE

Eugene, Ore, Aug. 13.-Drs. j.
Christie, B. F. Schaiefe and P. j. Bar
tie, of Eugene. have organized a COM
pany to develop a gold discovery on
Little North Work of the Willamette
river, 40 miles east of Eugene. DR..
Christie, discoverer of the ledge, has
been working on it for the past four
or five years. A road is being built
from the county road 10 miles dist
tant, so that machinery for a stamp
mill may be taken in. Enough ore
is in sight it is said, to keep a good
sized mill in operation for a long time.
Several hundred feet of tunnel have
already been built, and it is the in
tention to eXpend a good sum of mon-
ey in pushing the tunnels further in
at once. This property lies midway
between the Blue river and the Boz
hemia gold mining camps.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 13.-The new
tariff and Speaker Cannon were both
attacked today by Senator La Toilette
in his weekly publication. The lead
ing editorial bears the caption, "The
Tariff Law and the Presidents
Statement"
He declares the president in the
campaign last fall promised down.
ward revision, and says in part: THE
kind of revision demanded and prom
ised and decreed at the polls, wasn't
even partially complied with. Inso-
far as the price of any article in COM
mon use is affected by the rates un-
der the Payne-Aldrich law the cost
will be increased to the consumer"
The editorial then says that al
though many are disappointed at the
presidents statement because it isn't
a vigorous stand there is a hopeful
significance in the presidents inti-
nation that the tariff isn't a closed
book.
Another editorial under the caption
"Cannon's Revenge" says: "By rel
egating the republican congressman
who had the temerity to question his
divine right to the rules. to unimport-
ant committees, Cannon may be la
boring under delusion hat he can
awe us into a submission to their
constituents"
Continuing he says: "He took re-
venge but it went a long way toward
his downfall, demonstrating how lit
tie representation the citizen is per-
mitted to have in congress-"

HUNTING LICENSES TAKEN OUT FOR
OPENING Or THE GROUSE SEASON

Though the season opens Is days
later this year than usual and only
remains open until October Is, It is
believed that the law has been very
generally observed and that fewer
birds have been killed out of season
than for a number of years.
< Several local hunters are already
in the hills, ready for the opening. but
most of them will not leave town un-
til Saturday evening or Sunday
morning. Many will go out on the
train TO different points in the noun
tains, while others will so by auto
and buggy to places along the foot
hills where the game birds can be
found.
More than 800 hunting licenses
have already been taken out and 1t
is expected that a hundred more will
be issued by the end of the week.

Next Sunday marks the opening of
the grouse season in Umatilla, Union,
Wallowa, Baker and Grant counties
and the opening of the season will
probably be marked by a general ex-
odus Of local sportsmen from the
city.
Reports from the mountains say
the season has been very favorable
for the Matching and rearing of the
young grouse and that many of the
birds of good size are to be found in
their favorite haunts.
No large kills are expected, how
ever, for in addition to the fact that
no true sportsman will kill more than
he can care for, the new game law
provides that five shall be the limit
for one day and that ten shall be the
limit for one week of continuous
shooting.

tilla river and in the vicinity of the
Toll Gate are also filled with pick
ers, according to Forest Ranger Moss
who was in the city this week. as a
witness in the land contest. As the
berries ripen early or late, according
to the altitude at which they are
growing, the pickers are now seek
ing the highest points, where the
fruit is not only ripenng now. but
where it is to be found in greatest
quantities and of finest quality.
Wallowa and Union county noun
tains are also said to be well supplied
with berries this season.
Huckleberry cordial, huckleberry
pie, dried huckleberries and canned
huckleberries, will therefore be COM
mon articles, even il other kinds OF
fruits have been out of the reach Of
the person Of limited means. Anybody
can pick huckleberries and TO pre-
serve them Is easy.

Beats All Records, and Rail-
roads Are Simply Cramped,
Say Officials.
FOURTEEN TRAINS GO WEST
FROM PENDLETON YESTERDAY
Every Passenger Train Is Simply
Loaded TO the Guards - More
Trains Will BE Necessary Unless
Traffic Lessens-Freigbt Cars
Held In the Local Yards Because
Of the Crush OF Traffic-Addition
al Locomotives Ordered.

Never before in the history of rail
roading in the west has there beer
such a tremendous freight and pas
senger traffic under ordinary condl
tions as at present according to To-
cal railroad men. With more train!
each way every day and with ever,
coach and every locomotive in opera.
tion 1t seems impossible to handle
the passengers, not to mention the
freight.
The o. r. & N. System is simply
swamped and employees and officials
alike, are simply tearing their hair
in vain effort to master the situa-
tion. A call for help has been sent
into the Southern Pacific and Ore
gon Short Line headquarters and
this has been partially responded to.
Five additional locomotives are on
their way here from the Southern Pa
cIflc shops at Sparks, Nevada, and
two are coming from the Oregon
Short Line, these will be in service
before the end of the week.
The arrival of these engines will
help materially, for the greatest diff
ficulty has been experienced in the
motive power line. With the assist
ance OF these additional locomotives
II will be possible to relieve the con-
gestion of freight, which is to be
found at every division point along
the line and will also assist In the
movement of the passenger trains
Some idea of the amount of the
freight business can be gained by
visit to the local yards which are fill
ed with loaded freight cars. waiting
for chance to be taken east. Some
of them have been there for a week.
Between midnight last night and noon
today, five heavily loaded freight
trains had passed this city on their
way east. Some of them were "dou-
ble-headers."
Fourteen trains went west by this
point yesterday, five of them being
passenger trains and nine frelghts.
Nine trains went east and the only
reason they were not double that
number was simply because the COM
pany did not have the motive power
available to move them.
Every passenger train that goes
through is literally ''loaded to the
guards" seats are at premium,
many passengers are standing up and
1t is a fight for the conductor from
the time he starts on his run until 1t
ends.
Unless the present rush subsidies
within the next few weeks, two more
passenger trains will be required each
way every day, when the colonist !
rates go into effect next month. How |
to handle this traffic is the big puz-
zle that has not yet been worked out.
Then to make the freight traffic |
question still more difficult the wheat |
shipping season will start in a few
days and one of the largest crops
ever harvested in the northwest will
be demanding transportation to the
sea.
