11 UNiONSARETHRIViNG So PresidentHarry Tells the State Federation Board. TEN NEW ONES ARE FORMED Xot One Hbr Lapsed in Last Year Organization Extended Through out Oregon Names o JV'ctv Organizations. Reports read at the meeting of the ex ecutive board of the Oregon State Federa tion of Labor yesterday show the federa tion to be in a flourishing condition, both as to membership andthe -work that it is accomplishing. Aside from these reports there was nothing taken up that the com mittee is -willing to make public Those present at the meeting are G. Y. Harry, president; W. H. Barry, secretary;.Charles "Mlcklej, treasurer, all of Portland, and J.. V". "Welch, of Astoria, first vice-president; George Hornby, of Portland, second vice-president; W. E. Miller, of Salem, fourth vice-president; Fred Langever, of Pendleton, flfjh vice-president. G. F. Johnson, of Baker City, is expected to Arrive today. President Harry's report "was in part as follows: "With the expiration of the first quar ter of the existence of the State Federa tion, it gives me great pleasure to report i that the labor movement in the state is !la a most promising condition. "The gen 'eral expenses liave been so great that I ' have not been able to do all of the organ izing work that I have wished to, but I now have the promise of financial aid from the American' Federation, and for the rest of "the year expect to be able to lve all of my time to the work of state organization. "Through' the impetus given the labor movement in the state by the State Fed eration, there have been organized in the , different towns cast of the Cascades eight cr ten labor unions of various crafts, also an equal number of unions, principally among the lumber workers. In the Coos Bay country. "Of all the new unions created we have not had one lapse. They are all In exist ence and prospering, gaining new member ship and sowing the seeds of unionism in their several localities. We have now a good, strong foothold in every county rom Portland to the California line south, and cast to Idaho, on the line of the rail-J roads. The Oregon State Federation Is an assured success, and Is accomplishing that for which It was created, and you and each of you are to be commended for your fidelity and support, ond congratu lated upon your wisdom in forming this most useful aid to your cause In . our state." The following new organizations were re ported throughout the state since the formation of the State Federation: Eugene Federal Lator Union, Typo graphical union. Roseburg Roseburg Federal Labor Union, Retail Clerks Union. Grant's Pase Federal Labor Union, Car penters' Union. Retail Clerks' Union. Med ford Federal Labor Unloiu Ashland Federal Labor Union. Troutdale Federal Labor Union. The Dalles Carpenters' Union, Federal Labor Union. Salem Retail Clerks' Union, Central La bor Council. ' In addition the following unions were organized while organizing the State-Federation: Baker City Sheet Metal Workers. Pendleton Retail Clerks Union. Salem Federal Labor Union, Barbers. Union. Albany Federal Labor Union, Carpen ters' Union, Typographical Union, Paint ers' Union. The' question of drafting bills prpvldlng for an eight-hour law, prohibiting .prison," alien attd child labor, and creating a State Labor Bureau will be considered today. The Barbers' Union gave a smoker last night that was attended by the members of the executive board. A special quar tet of union singers was engaged for tne evening, and a pleasant programme was given. SCRIP RAILROAD TICKETS WilJ Be Put on Sale West of Denver Tomorrow. Tomorrow there will go into effect on all the lines west of Denver, except the two northern transcontinental, an ar rangement that will give travelers the benefit of mileage-book rates without re quiring so heavy an investment as would be necessary to buy mileage-books on all the lines or any considerable number of them. This will bo effected by means of scrip, which may be purchased in lots of $90. This will be issued by a common egency. The scrip may be used to buy tickets on any of the lines, and when It is all used the passenger may obtain a rebate that will reduce the cost of his tickets to the mileage-book rate. The advantage Is that the scrip is good for tickets on all the roads, whereas the mileage Is good only on the road that issues it,, and one having occasion to travel on several lines of railroad would have a considerable in vestment in mileage-books in order to avail himself of the reduced rate they afford. WEIDENFELD AN INTERVENOR. Gets in Peter Povrer Case .After De fendant Moved for Decree. MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. Sept. 2 The Peter Power case against the Northern Pacific took a new turn in the Federal District Court today. Counsel for defend ant had moved for a decree on the merits of the case, all the counsel for the plaintiff having withdrawn. At this juncture M. H. Boutelle, of this city, and A"W. Bulkey, of Chicago, appeared as counsel for Camllle Weidenfeld. the New York broker, who figured In the proceedings as the real owner of the Northern Pacific ctock of which Power was the putative owner, and asked for. permission to inter vene. The court decided' to hear "argu ment. UNION PACIFIC TO DOUBLE-TRACK. "Will. Begin Next Year To Reach From Omaha to Ogden. CHEYENNE. Wyo.. Sept. 29. The most Important work done by the Union Pacific since the construction of the main line from Omaha to Ogden. It is stated on good authority, will be commenced at Cheyenne early in the Spring of 1903 and pushed to completion as rapidly as the magnitude of the improvement will allow. The decision has been reached to double track the entire main line of the road between Omaha and Ogden. The only double track now built is that between Cheyenne and Borie, a distance of 11 miles, which was laid In 1900, and a stretch west of Omaha. -r Beginning at Cheyenne early in the Spring, another track will be built east to ATcher, a distance of eight miles. At the same time the double track will be extended from Borie west to. Buford, a distance of 17 miles. Immediately follow ing the completion of this work, and may be while In progress, a new track will be started east from Evanston towards Granger. Another track will at the same tjne be laid between Rawlins and For Steele, a distance of 14 miles. These are the places where the double track is npw most needed. As soon as they are spanned the work of converting the entire "Wyo ming and Nebraska divisions into double track will be pushed. The time It will take to complete the work harfot been determined. With the completion of the double tracking there will be a two-track railroad from Chi cago to Ogden, the Northwestern already having double track between Chicago and Omaha. TROUBLE OVER PASSES. Iron-Bonnd Agreement in the East Broken Safe on the Coast. While the railroads East and West are glutted with traffic, and there is absolute ly no excuse for offering special induce ments In order to get business, there come numerous reports to the effect that the anti-pass agreement entered into the first of the year Is on Its last legs. The first reports came from the East, where the agreement was so binding that even the presidents of Western lines have been obliged to pay their fares east of Buffalo J. F. Welch, Chns. and Pittsburg. It la now said that that agreement Is about to go to pieces. - The trunk lines east of Buffalo and .Pittsburg are in one agreement, those west of the Mississippi in another, and those in the Intermediate territory in a third. The trouble in the East has arisen from the fact that the railroads held rail road men- strictly to the terms of the compact lii so far as It applied to ex change transportation, granting nothing to railroad employes, while politicians and even shippers receive the forbidden fa vors. This produced dissatisfaction be tween the roads members of the com pact, and this dissatisfaction is now said to have grown so great hat there is not much prepense of holding to the agree ment. In the West the situation is bet ter,, and on -the Pacific Coast the anti- pass agreement is said to be still in full effect, though It is. admitted that so many exceptions have been nut into it .that it has lost much" of its original virtue. The main point "that frcctra'nsportatlon snau not be issued . to shippers, kls said to be firmly .held. Indeed, one- railroad man said yesterday that the shippers had at last become convlhcod that none of them were receiving favors pf that na" ture, and had discontinued the annoying Importunities for free passes. He' saw no. indication that the old practice would ba resumed in this territory. ANOTHER SALMON TRAIN. TTrcnty-flve Full Cars Left for Chi cago Last Night. ' The third full train of salmon left Port land last night for Chicago and points East. Last week 20 carloads of ralmon were put In a train containing the came number of cars of Oriental freight and sent Edst on special schedule. Next week there will be another special train carry-J mg a large quantity ot irozen and pickled salmon for Hamburg and several car loads of Oregon fresh fruit, chiefly ap ples, for the New York market This train will dlfler from Its predecessors in that It will be composed entirely of re frigerator cars, like the fruit trains that have done much to make California fa mous. It Is not yet determined how many cars will be In that train. Last night's shipment made 120 carloads of canned salmon to go East from Port- iauu iu me post inree weens, more than half of which was Columbia River pack The value of the whole Is fully $350,000. Only one of the trains bore banners to show that It originated on the Pacific Coast, though the opportunity for adver tising effectively was of the best pos eib'le. The Board of Trade put banners on one train, telling where it eame from and what it contained. Railroad Notes. The O. R. & N. Is about to place orders for 10 passenger cars, the Oregon Short Line 10 and the Union Pacific 16. The Southern Pacific Company has or dered 625 new tank cars of 12.500 gallons capacity each, for transporting oil. Manager Swigert says the report that the City & Suburban is contemplating construction of a loop around Mount Ta bor Is eroneous. A certain route around thero ha3 simply been pronounced feasi ble, and that Is all. Mr. Swigert says no steps whatever have been taken toward such an extension, and none are contem plated. The Pullman Car Company has Just put into service on the O. R. & N. between Portland and Spokane two ' buffet , cars with gas broliors. the first of- this ?klnd to be operated by that company on the Pacific Coast. The Pullman Company has been operating the sleeping cars on that route since the 1st of September, when the contract for Great Northern sleepers on the O. R. & N. expired. Messrs. Jones and Lounsberry. of the traffic department of the Southern Pa cific, are busy getting in order one of the choicest collections of Oregon products ever assembled here. It Is for display at the Corn Carnival, at Peoria, 111., which w ill begin October 6. It comprises grains grasses and fruits from Washington County, fruit In Jars from Linn County, and a part of the agricultural display at the Oregon Agricultural College, samples of 105 varieties of grain and seeds In small Jars. All will be carefully labeled, so the wayfaring Illinoisan need not err as to the place of their origin and the manner of getting there. LOVE IN A NUTSHELL.

Queensland "Will Find Federal Con otltutlon Hard to Unmake. NEW YORK, Sept. 29. Although omi nous reports have for some time past been received from Queensland and Premier Robert Philip now openly advo cates the secession of that state from the Federal Union, the constitution cannot be unmade with the ease that the Premier of Queensland imagines, cables the Lon don correspondent of the Tribune. The Commonwealth Constitution Act does not make provision for secession and appar ently there are no means of obtaining separation short of an act of repeal or civil war. Premier Philip seems to antic ipate that he will receive the support of the people of New South Wales and West Australia, who are also dissatisfied with present conditions, but the extreme meas ure is not likely to be taken. Still, th!o unrest Is having a very preju dicial effect on business In the common wealth and nearly every Australian Gov ernment loan has suffered In value dur ing the last fortnight The trouble arose out of the fact that Queens'and had bcon hard hit by Federal legislation on the colored labor question, which practically will annihilate the sugar industry. In which hundreds of thousands of pounds of British capital has been Invested. MECCA FOR CONSUMPTIVES Llentenant Pcnry Confident Health Is to Be Found In Arctic. NEW YORK, Sept 29.

Peary, the Arctic explorer, who has arrived here from the north, on his way to Washington, where he will report to the Nnvy Department for duty, says It Is hU belief that the Arctic region I3 one of the best places on earth for per sons afflicted with pulmonary dlseanes. In proof of the health-giving conditions there, he said that nearly everybody who went up there came back weighing more and in a much-improved state of health generally. He did not bring any Eskimos south for the reason that those he brought cevcral years ago experienced a hard time, many of them having succumbed to pulmonary diseases. Charged "With Criminal Assault.

Through the Council committee on ju diciary and elections the city was, asked yesterday to begin a suit against, a citi zen for the -benefit -of the holder of war rants Issued for the .improvement of a street the assessment for which has been declared void. The petition for the liti gation was denied, as the committee did not in any way wish to set a precedent or to plade the city on record as the plaintiff In behalf of any individual. The, matter came up in the form of a petition from the Portland Lumbering & W. E. Miller, Manufacturing Company, which operates the qld Pennoyer mill. Attorney E. E. Coovert, for the company, stated that in the early '90s the company had furnished lumber for the Improvement of East Eighth street from Flanders to Riverside Addition. Subsequently the assessment was declared void, as a majority of the property-owners had not signed the peti tion for the improvement. The company held warrants for the improvements near S. Chase's property, which was benefited by the Improvement, and It had bought the property at a sale by the Chief of Police for ?1S93. It had no means of re covering the sum expended except through the city, and it asked that suit be begun by the City Attorney. It was willing ab solutely to guarantee the city against any loss, and If the city were defeated It would pay all the costs. The suit might be be gun under the curative act of the charter, which had been tested . In the Supreme Court artd found constitutional. R. R. Dilnlway, attorney for Mr. Chase, questioned the right of the city to bring a suit against a citizen when the city had not an Interest in the case to. the exent of aent. The company had gambled In buying the property at the Chief of Po lice sale, and It had lost The property had .been purchased with wide-open eyes, end the- company had sought to exclude Mr. Chase entirely. Mr. Chase took the case to the courts and got a decree that he was the owner of the property, and there was no reason why the city should fight the case In the face of that decree. The property had been purchased In 1SS9. "and the improvements made a few years later. The company was at one time will ing to compromise for J1C00, then $500. then ?200, and next It asked the city to rush Into litigation. If the company had any valid claim against the property. It would have won out In the courts. Years ago Mr. Pennoyer was willing to sell the war rants for $200. and he turned them over to his successors as valueless assets. Mr. Chase said that he had bought the property In 1SSL He lived eight miles from the city, and one day when he went out to Inspect the lots he found a bridge build ing. He supposed that the city was pay ing for the work, and so he dismissed the subject from his mind entirely.

How She Was Saved From a Horrible Death When All Hope Wai Gone The Story In Her Ovrn Words. "I hope never to go through such an experience again," said Mrs. C. L. Mc Dowell, of Oregon, 111., whose narrow escape- from death Is best told In her own words. y"I was always weakly," she contln- ued, "but In 1894 the childbed fever lri a very severe form left me In a miser able condition. My blood turned to prater, and It seemed I could not re cover any strength. It was white as a sheet, without any ambition, and so low that no one thought I would ever get well. In addition to all this I had neuralgia In He worst form. My grand mother died with neuralgia, and I was afraid it would take me away. I cannot tell you how I suffered with It for years. It was terrible." "But how were you cured?" asked the reporter. "The best doctors could not help me, and I never, thought I would get well." replied Mrs. McDowell. "But one day I read an advertisement of Dr. Will lams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I concluded to try them. I found relief In the first box, so I continued to take them. The neuralgia gradually grew leas- severe until it disappeared alto gether, my color returned, I -gained in strength, and now my blood Is in good condition again." The pills which cured Mrs. McDowell are an unfailing specific for all diseases arising from disorders of the blood and nerves. Among the many diseases they have cured are locomotor ataxia, par tial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head ache, the after-effects of the grip, palpi tation of the heart, pale and sallow com plexions, and all forms of weakness, either In male or female. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box; six boxes for two 'dollars and a half, by ad dressing Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Do not trust the word of a man who says he has the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills In bulk. None of these fa mous pills ever leave the factory except In packages bearing the well-known trade-mark composed of the seven words, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." volved a question of public policy rather than one of equity or law. It was not wise to establish a rule whereby every person who might buy a piece of property for the assessment at" a sale by the Chief of Police could come to the city for a remedy after attempting to force a set tlement with the owner In the court The city should not interfere in tax-title mat ers. If a man were fortunate enough to secure a good title to the property, the city should not Intervene, and If he should have a bad title no action should be taken. To his personal knowledge the city had paid a number of warrants for the Im provement of East Eighth street. "Will It pay ours?" asked Mr. Coovert. "No," said Mr. Flegel; "the records show that yours has been paid already, and it Is not wise for us to begin proced Ings against private Individuals." "It would establish a precedent," said Mr. Bentley, "and there would be no end to It I move that the petition be not granted." Chairman Flegel assented, and the mo tion was placed, on record as having been j carried unanimously. Petitions were received from J. G. Day. A. S. Enncs, the heirs of the estate of Wash Allen, C. and L. Rodney and L. S. Cleveland for the cancellation of delin quent assessments and taxes running from 1SSS to 1S90. All were granted. Mrs. CJara J. Jones and Mrs. A. M. Eg gleston. who own block lStJ, East Portland.- presented a claim for sidewalk Im provements. They said that they had belen notified to Improve the sidewalk sur rounding their property, and did so under the supervision of the City Engineer. After the repairs were made the walk was torn up and a new one laid at a cost of $4S. The petitioners asked that the difference between the cost of the repairs and the new walk be adjusted, and the matter was held for consideration.. MAN'S MISSION ON EARTH. Medical Oooic Free.
