Changes in rates were narrow and

OF what avail to have taken all the
gold there is in the world and then
to freeze? The coal trade papers for
several weeks have been predicting
coal famine. The Black Diamond in
this weeks issue goes so far as to
indicate the localities that will suffer
most. "When the nation is put on
short rations," it says, "as is likely
soon, the places sure to be hit hard
est are those at transportation dis
advantage. The points where
distress is sure to be seen are those
big markets which are furtherest
away from the mines, and which In
volve a long interline haul, with posi-
bilities of delay in transportation and
the loss or diversion Of cars" This au-
thority thinks it inevitable that there
will be suffering in the cities of the

to be delivered from prosperity?
When we were poor there was yet
enough to eat and warmth to go
around, whereas now we are so busy
producing and exchanging goods for
gold that we seem in danger of pre-
pairing unawares a famine for our
selves. Boats hitherto engaged in
the distribution of coal, especially in
carrying it to New England, have
been withdrawn from that use and
put to the more profitable work of
carrying goods to Europe. Railroad
cars which last year were idle now
are commandeered for the munitions
trade. Then there is wheat. Almost
before we know it we may have sold
too much of our wheat away.

Flow of Funds to London.-Interior
banks are following the example Of
New York banks in transferring funds
to London to take advantage of the
higher interest rates now obtaining in
that market. While the amount Of the
movement from the interior is small
as compared with the New York insti-
tutions, the development is interesting,
as it is something that has never been
done before on any extensive scale. In

The amount of wheat available to
be exported from North America this
year is estimated at 20O,OOO,OOO
bushels, about equally divided be-
tween Canada and the United States.
The estimate of 100,000,000 for the
United States is made by the govern
ment. The estimate Of what Canada
can afford to export is a consensus of
the grain trade. Exports from July l
TO October z have been 121, 100000
bushels. At that rate the whole
North American surplus of 100000
900 bushels will have been exported
by the end Of December.
Foreign buying of American wheat
has been abruptly halted. When it
resumes it will be under the direc-
ton Of the Royal Commission that
has been appointed to buy, sell and
control the delivery Of wheat and
-four in conjunction with England's
allies. IL will requisition British
ships TO carry the grain and fix the
rate Of carriage. 1t has already
bought the Australian surplus, over
which there has been so much con-
troversy. The Australian govern
ment will furnish the ships TO send
IL in. II is possible that Canadian
wheat will be commandeered. Private
trading in it would thereupon stop. BY
these means the British government
has removed the absurd competition
which formerly existed between itself
and private English buyers, bidding
for the worlds surplus. 1t will
hcnceforth control the buying both
for the Allied armies and for the civil

WILL BUILD NEW SPANS

The board of supervisors has
acted promptly on the plans to
strengthen the Pima bridge and
deserves the hearty commenda-
ton of all citizens.
At it's meeting Monday. the
board took up the matter and
decided to construct two more
spans on the north side of the
bridge.
These two spans will be of the
same type as the bridge proper
and will be built of steel on rein
forced concrete piers. The length
of each span will be 87a feet, or
a total length of IT'S feet. This
will carry the bridge far enough
inland to be on solid ground and
gives the opportunity of build
ing a much better and safer ap-
proach.
The protection to the bridge
on the north side can be made
more secure by building an en-
bankment of riprap, which
would keep the current under the
bridge proper.
The work of constructing the
two new spans will begin at
once, which will be very salts
factory to the farmers who have
to depend on the Pima bridge to
cross over to market their farm
products.

IS THIS A CASE Of
MISTAKEN |DEN|TY ?
Is Prisoner James Caffeine
As He Claims, Or Is He
Murderer Tortorici?

San Francisco, Aug. ga dark
skinned man paced slowly before the
witness stand in the superior court
room today that witnesses might have
the chance of studying his every pose.
He started each walk confidently
and ended it with shoulders dropping
and walk unsteady.
This man declares he is James CAT
fene. an innocent man. But five ac-
cusing hands pointed him out as Pietro
Tortorici, the man who murdered Biag-
gio Vilardo and then hacked the body
into pieces, hiding it in a sack. Only
once did hope come to the accused man.
1t was when Policeman James Deuser
took the stand.
''That man looks just like Tortorici
did II years ago." said the officer.
" Had | met him IL years ago there
would be no doubt in my mind"
The case is one of the most remark
able in local criminal history
The one defense is that there has
been a case of mistaken identity and
that somewhere there is double, the
real Tortoric. George Sehmacke, q
laundry worker; Felipe Ferita and Mrs.
Lena Orbent. all former friends of
Tortorici, declared from the stand that
the man before them was the slayer.

WELSH TAKING NO
CHANCES ON TILE
Realizes He Has Hard Fight
and Is Devoting Whole
Time to Training

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. 90. -
Keenly realizing that his title of light
weight champion will be in danger,
Freddie Welsh is putting in some great
licks at training in preparation for his
20,round Labor day battle with Charley
White.
Welsh is on the road every morning at
7 o'cloek with the trainer and makes
between six and eight miles. This is
followed by an hours work in his train
ing quarters and eight rounds of boxing
with his sparring partners Welsh box
ed two rounds with Benny Chavez and
three rounds each with Jack Braddon
and Battling Reddy, displaying all his
cleverness before crowd of 300 enthus-
iastic fight fans.
White will not start his boxing un.
til Wednesday, as he does not believe
more than 10 days hard training will
be necessary to put him in shape. Thus
far he has confined his training mostly
to road work to develop his wind.
Charley claims to be in fine condition
now.
Welsh and White met again last night
at the Hayes.Jackson bout at Ramona.
The men were introduced to the crowd
and received great hand.
Welsh continues slight favorite in
the local betting. But the wager that
attracts most attention is the three to
one that White won I score a Knockout.
There seems to be plenty of money on
both sides OF this proposition.
The sale of seats still continues at a
great rate and club officials anticipate
a packed house for the bout.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
| PROMISES RELIEF
Writes Commission It Hopes
to Meet All Car Demands
in Near Future

Early relief is promised in the ear
shortage situation by letter received
from General Manager Scott of the
Southern Pacific company at the office
of the public service commission this
morning
In explaining the present shortage,
the general manager says that inabili-
ty to get cars unloaded on the Atlantic
coast through lack of shipping has tied
up about 5000 Of the company's cars.
He states that early in tne year the
company placed an order for 5000 new
ears, which owing to shortage of Ia
Dor and large war orders have not been
delivered, although the company had
the promise of early delivery. The
first shipment of these new box ears,
however, will be coming forward in a
few days, the company reversing its
usuai custom and billing them through
empty and paying freight on them in
an effort to satisfy the demands of
the Pacific coast. The letter follows:
"We appreciate fully the seriousness
OF the ear situation, not only in Ore
gon but everywhere ON the Pacific
coast. We have been sending empty
equipment regularly to Oregon to meet
the requirements there, in addition to
all the loaded ears going in that di-
rection, which of course as soon as un-
loaded are available for use in that
territory. We have delivered this
month 325 empties to Portland and to-
day (August l6) nave enroute 1872 ad-
ditional. During the same period we
have delivered 965 loaded ears to that
division. Mention is made of emptles
to show we are not discriminating a
gainst Oregon shippers, but on the con
trary are assisting them in every way
possible.
"You ask what may be expected in
the future. We hope of course that
the situation will improve. We had
reason to believe we would not be con
fronted with a shortage this year, be-
cause early in tne year we placed an
order for 5000 cars ana had the prom
ise of early delivery. On account OF
shortage of labor and large war orders
being handled in eastern territory the
car building concerns have not been
able to make delivery. We are now ad'
vised that the first shipment of box
ears will be coming forward in a few
days, and in order to relieve the STU
alton on the coast as much as possible
the company is billing them through
empty and paying freight thereon. by
doin4 this we hope to be able to sat,
isfy all demands on the coast to a great
extent.
"The condition on the Pacific coast
is not one for which the Pacific coast
railroads are responsible. You are Ia
miliar with the situation that has ex-
listed in the east for many months as
the result of congestion Of ears on the
Atlantic seabOard through lack of ship
ping. There are about 5000 cars of our
eouipment now on eastern rails, the re-
turn of which we have Deen unable to
secure. want your honorable body to
accept my assurance that everything
possible will be done TO alleviate con
| ditions in Oregon
