THE MOBBING OREGONIAN, THURSD-Xv DECEMBER 18,-4902.- COMPETITION IS LESS COMIXATIOX AMONG RAILHOADS PRODUCES THIS EFFECT. Iateritate Commerce Commission Sy There Caa Be No Doubt of It-Xorc.T.OTver deeded. "WASHINGTON, Dec 17. The tendency to combine continues the most significant feature of railway development, accord ing to the annual report of the Interstate Commerce Commission Issued today. The report says: "It Is not open to question that the competition between railroad carriers which formerly prevailed has been largely suppressed or at least - brought to the condition of effective restraint. The progress of consolidation in one form or another will at no distant day confine tills competition within narrow and un important limits, because the control of most railway property will be merged In a few Individuals whose common inter ests Impel them tp act In concert. "While this will .insure, as probably nothing else can in- equal degree, the ob servance of published tariffs and' so meas urably remove some of the evils which the .act is designed to -prevent, the re sulting situation involves consequences to the -public which, claim the most serious attention. A law -which might have answered the purpose when competition "was relied upon,- to secure reasonable rates Is demongtrably inadequate when that competition js displaced by the most far-reaching and powerful combinations. So great a change in conditions calls for corresponding change In the regulating statute." The commission, reaffirms its recommen dations, for amending the interstate com merce law and urges the grave ne cessity for legislation. The report says that the fact that no convictions have yet been obtained nor indictments found in the cases of the roads which were shown by an Investigation last Winter to" be giving secret rates to grain ship pers emphasizes the fact that the crim inal provisions of the present inter state law Are practically a dead letter. The commission says that the effect o issuing injunctions to compel roads to ob serve published tariffs has been material ly to advance on the commodities the rate actually received by -the carrier and actu ally paid by the shipper, and that their operation, as applied to the present con dition of railroad ownership, enables ad vances in rates which might not other wise "be made tmd maintained. While the producers of grain will undoubtedly pay henceforth 5 to 7 cents. In some instances 10 cents, per 100 pounds more to transport thaf grain from the field to destination than he had paid for some time before these injunctions took effect, this is not to be regarded as an argument against the Injunctions. There ought to be some power which can ndt only compel these carriers to maintain the published rate, but which can compel them to publish a fair and reasonable rate. Thirty-eight formal proceedings, double the number brought in the preceding year, and Involving rates and practices 0 SOD railroads, were Instituted during the year. To promote more general compliances with the spirit of the safety appliances law in the use of air brakes, the commit tee recommends the passage of an act forbidding the running of trains in which less than one-half the cars are equipped with power brakes, and empowering the commission to issue .general orders re quiring the use of power brakes on more than 60 per cent of the cars in a train whenever it shall find .such use to be practicable, and also authorizing the com mittee to permit for aspecifled period the running of trains wJ4j5ower brakes in use'on less than 50 jjrcent of the cars therein.

The meeting of the stockholders was harmonious throughout, and all who at tended were pleased, at the outlook, as evinced by the deplaratlon .of the new di rectors. While contrU, of., the property has passed to the Atlantic Coast Line, it seems certain that the old officers of the Louisville & Nashville will be retained, and the old policy continued. W". R.

Doable Operation on JLorenz' Little Patient Will Prove Fatal NEW YORK, Dec i7. Five-year-old Marlon Greene, on whom Professor Lor enz operated last Friday, has had con vulsions and is In a dangerous condi tion, -saye the Philadelphia correspondent of the World.

The child was afflicted with con genital dislocation of both hips. Besides sustaining the shock of a douple opera tion, she was etherized twice. Her seri ous condition the physicians attribute to the ether rather than to the reduction of the dislocations. Little Marlon was among the "five pa tients chosen to be operated upon, at the. Thursday clinic, but after four had been treated Dr. Lorenz was exhausted. Ma rlon was? under ether for 35 minutes on that .day.1 The child's parents were near ly heart-broken when -D'r.

The Port of Portland Commission Is having no end of trouble with Its East ern advertising. When it decided to sell $150,000 -worth of bonds for the new dry dock to the highest bidder, advertise ments were sent to a number of Eastern papers, among- others the Chicago Trib une. Not long ago the clerk of the board, E. T. C. Stevens, received a letter from the Tribune Company, -dated the 3d inst, notifying him that the copy for the bond advertisement had been lest and request ing that a fresh copy be transmitted. The board was hurriedly called together and decided that the only thing to do. In order to comply with the law, was to make a fresh start and readvertlse for bids. This was done, and a fresh date set for opening of the bids. Now comes another letter from the Tribune Company to increase the wrath of the board. The second letter, under date of December 12, Informed Mr. Stevens that publication or the .advertis3ment, under the original planatlons, began on November 25. No ex planation Is given of the bungling error previously made and no apology Is sent, only a bill for printing the advertisement, which the board does, not, feel under any obligation to pay, considering the circum stances. As it has sent out the second set of advertisements specifying the new date for opening the bids, no further ac tion In' the bond matter will be taken. Several members of the commission have gone to Seattle to be present today at the launching of the Port of Portland tender John McCraken. The tender la nearly completed, and will be brought around to Portland about February L The new dredge Columbia has resumed work at Postofilce Bar, and her operations are entirely satisfactory.

IT IS IMPORTANT To ICnovr What You Aye.. Tallin fir When Using: Catarrh Medicines. Catarrh Is the short route to consump tion, and the importance of early and judicious treatment of catarrh, whether located In the head, throat or bronchial tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized. The list of catarrh cures is as long as the" moral law and the forms In which they are- administered, numerous and confus ing, from spraye, inhalers, washes, oint ments, and salves to powders, liquids and tablets. The tablet form is undoubtedly the most convenient and most effective, but with nearly all advertised catarrh remedies It Is almost entirely a matter of guess work as to what you are taking into your syo tem, as the proprietors, while making all sorts of claims as to what, their medicines will do, always keep it a close secret as to what they are. The success and popularity of the new .catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, Is largely because it not only cures catarrh but because catarrh sufferers who used these tablets know what they are taking Into their systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets being composed of Red Gum. Blood Root and similar valuable and antiseptic ingredients, and are pleasant to the taste and being dissolved In the mouth they take immediato effect upon the mucous lining of the throat, nasal pareages and whole respiratory tract. The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have accompllshel In old chronic cases of catarrh are little short of remarkable, and the advantage of knowing what you are putting Into your stomach is of para mount importance when It Is remembered that the cocaine or morphine habit has been frequently contracted as the result -of using secret catarrh remedies. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with cordial approval from physicians, because their antiseptic character renders them perfectly safe to the general public to use and their composition makes them a common-sense cure for all forms of catarrhal troubles. All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full-sized packages. TEETH EXTRACTED AND FILLED CUTELY WITHOUT PAIN by our late scientific method aplied to the gums. No sleep-producing agents or cocaine.
