Ramsay Makes Statmeent

Iskliit IAdiSdS III COIucttibb Wltii the situation said yesterday: 'The rate
 increase requested or demanded by the
 railroads would prove extremely in-
 furious to this district If the rates
 are increased it goes without saying
 that this district will not sell as much
 coal as it has in the past. If that is
 true, the production will be cut down
 and the cost to the people of this dis
 trict will be just that much. Again, if
 the foreign producers sell here or in
 this district the rates here will be high
 CT to the fields we can reach, so that
 the rate involves increases to every coal consumer of this district, however
 small.
 q do not believe the railroads are entitled to the increase to New Orleans as requested or to the other points. It occurs to me that the railroads could do little less than standing shoulder to shoulder with others in helping get over the present crisis in American af- fairs without trying to squeeze through a rate increase which, even in normal times. would excite the most wide spread disfayor. There is plenty of time for the lines to make demands upon us but after an extremely dull season and when the prospect is far lfrom attractive. they should stand alooi and permit the situation to go along without any efforts on their part fur ther to make difficult very trying situation"
 Coal Operators Confer i Henry T. DeBardeleben. chairman oi the transportation committee of Ala bama Coal Operators association James l.. Davidsoh secretary of the association, and others, held confer ence yesterday morning. They are will ing to give the committee from the Chamber of Commerce their side of the
 situation and will not fail to be pres ent when the time comes with data and information which will, in their opin' lion. tend to show that the railroads | are not entitled to the rate increases demanded.
 In addition to resisting the efforts l of the railroads in this particular in stance, this fight has developed one other feature. The coal operators pur- pose to carry the fight further and show to the railroad commission thai lin n great many ways this district has been made to pay higher rates for its service than other districts.

RAILROAD AGENTS REFUSE ID CONFER
 WITH OPERATORS
Regarding Rate Increase. Ramsay Urges Roads to Help, Not Hinder Dis
 trict, At Present

That less coal would be sold by local operators and consequently more coal would be sold by foreign oper- ators and that the individual users of coal would themselves be hurt very materially was a statement of Erskine Ramsay yesterday in reference to the proposed increase of coal rates. which just now is overshadowing even the water question.
 From what can be gathered coal op- orators look upon the 3S 1-3 per cent 15-cent advances requested, as one of the most harmful attacks this district has received in many years.
 The representatives of local railroads acting upon instructions received from their respective headquarters will not make any statement at this time about the situation.
 In connection with the proposed coal rate increase 1t was learned yesterday that futile efforts of the most per sistent kind have been made during the past few weeks by coal operators toe get the traffic manage of the lines interested in a conference. The only reassuring message received was from w. B. Bibble, vice president of the Frisco lines who suggested to Henry DeBardeleben that a date be set during the next two weeks for a con- ference

FfUe Fires Burn Ouer
Tract of 1900 Acres

Cottage Grove Nearly 1000 acres
Of the forest, reserve was burned over
in the recent fires in the London coun-
try. Probably 200, 600 or 800, 900 feet
Of timber was destroyed.
There were five fires in progress at
one time, that on Little river, near
Black Butte being the most serious.
Fire Warden Frank Brumbaugh and
crew of eight men have this and
smaller fires under control. I
Fire Warden s. P. Shortridge has
gained control of three fires in the
same territory. The blaze on Wilson
creek iss still burning, required d
months fighting with crews ranging
from three to six men. Five hundred
acres were, burned over in the three
fires handled by Mr.. Shortridge and
about 100000 feet of timber de-
stroyed. He thinks that the fires
handled by Mr.. Brumbaugh covered
1900 acres. It is probable that at
least 200, 900 feet Of timber was lost.
Several fires occurred in the Row
river country during the past week.

Eugene Light and Power
Companies in Rate Wal

Eugene - A long-anticipated rate
war between the municipal power plant
and the Oregon Power company was
opened here this week with the an
nouncement by the power company
that it will not only meet but will un-
dercut the reduction announced by the
city plant.
The private company has filed its
new schedule of rates with the State
railroad commission, declining to an
nounce the extent of the cut.
The city's reduction amounted to II
per cent and before the cut was made
the maximum rate of 9 cents for light
ing and cents for power was lower
than offered in any city in the Will
lamette valley outside Of the vicinity
Of Portland. The new schedule Of 8
cents maximum for lighting and A
cents maximum for power, with min
imum of LIZ cents for 10, 00O-kilowatt
quantities, is almost half the rates in
Eugene two years and a half ago, be-
fore the entrance of the city plant,
which claims the credit for the reduc-
tion.
The present rate war was forecast
recently when the water board asked
the State railroad commission to curl
the activities Of the private company
and the latter responded with re-
quest for unrestricted competition
Neither was wholly granted.

Burns, Or, Fire Destroys
$50, 600 Worth OF Property

Burns The worst fire in the history
Of Burns began Monday at midnight
and in three hours large num-
ber of business houses were in
ruin. The blaze was started in the hay
loft of McKinnon's livery barn, sup
posedly by someone sleeping there, and
it quickly spread to every building in
that block, including the Hotel French
and large two-story building contain
ing pool hall and living rooms.
Three small dwellings in the block to
the east were burned and the flames
spread to the block to the south. They
jumped the Harney County National
bank, which is of stone, and caught in
two frame buildings, which were
quickly destroyed. Then they COM
municated to the roof Of the stone
building occupied by the Bedell saloon
and barber shop and also to another
stone building, occupied by the Donne-
gan & Logan abstract office and Frank
Davies and Charles Ellis law Offices.
The postoffice and Harney County
News office, adjoining these, were
saved. In the livery stable ~ horses
were burned to death.
The losses will reach $50, with
about $50, 900 insurance.
Several buildings on the west side
| Of the street caught fire, but the
| flames were distinguished.
