12 THE MORNING OREGONTA WEDNESDAY,, MARCH 4, 1903. GOOD SHOWING Annual Report, and Meeting ;of Columbia Southern. TBAFFIC COHDITIOHS ARE GOOD "WJicat SfeortBKe of lOOl BedBceA Tonaaite Materially, but All Other Factom Indicate IwpTovcmenl Large I'smenscr Movement. At the annual meeting of the Columbia Southern Railway Company yesterday an the capital stock, 3000 shares, was repre sented, and the" old board of directors was re-elcctcd. as follows: E. E. Lytle, W. H. Moore. May Enright, Henry Hahn and J. H. Page. Subsequently the board re elected Mr. Lytle president, Mr. 'Moore vice-president. Miss Enrlght secretary and E. B. DeYoe auditor. The annual report of the president ehowed'the affairs of the company to be In prosperous condition. It covered the year ending June 30. 1902. On all points except the outward movement of ' wheat the showing was better than for the previous year. The wheat yield of 1901 was materially less than for the season before, leaving the railroad more than 14.000 tons less to move. This loss was Tenccted In the earnings of the road. The statement of earnings. In round numbers, is as follows, comparison being made with the previous year: 1901. 1902. Inc. From freight $121,000 $110,000 "fll.OOO From passengers 25,000 33,000 8,00) From express, mall and telegraph 7.000 8,000 1.000 Decrease. The number of tons of freight carried southward last year was 23.000. as against 30,000 for the year before, and the north bound traffic was 46.000 tons, against 59, 000 for 11101. In 1901 20,506 passengers were carried and last year the number was 26, $27, a gain of 636L The number of tons of wool carried last year "was more than twice as great as for the year before, 2140, as against .1020. There was a gain of 700 tons, or 33 per cent. In the livestock car ried. The cost of clearing wrecks for the entire year was $44.15, and $600 more is chargeable to loss and damage of all kinds. This record is believed to be un precedented for a railroad of 70 miles. Taxes paid In 1901 aggregated $3300, and last year $4500. In connection with the fact that the number of passengers carried last year ex ceeded those of the year before by 6361, the further fact that the Increase of lum ber carried into the country was 1,600,000 feet more than in 1901 Is deemed signifi cant as showing settlement and improve ments. The gain since June 30 has been more rapid than before, too. In the past seven months the increase of passengers has been 4089. chiefly south-bound, and the increase of pareenger revenue in this period has been $9347. And the past Feb ruary was the banner month for grain shipments, 222 carloads going out of Sher man County. Never before has the grain movement been so late. President Lytle , says there is every prospect of a continuance of the pres ent prosperity and reasonable assurance of much greater activity through the devel opment of the open districts of Central Oregon, where irrigation enterprises of great Importance are already on foot. PEOPLE CAN'T AGREE OX CHANGES Some Petition for New Seliednlc on "West Side, Other Protest. Residents of towns along the "West Side lines of the Southern Pacific do not agree upon the train schedule that would be most desirable. Sheridan people -want; the Pallas -passenger to run In on the Sheri dan branch of seven miles In passing to and from Portland, against which ar rangement the Dallas people protest vig orously. The suggestion that the Sherl--dan passenger, thus released from the Sheridan trip, run through to Corvallis, does not promise much profit to the rail road company. The train would reach Corvallis about 9 P. M.. and It would leave that town about 4 A. M., which would be too early to accommodate any groat number of passengers. The idea of having the train start earlier than 4:50 P. M. from Portland arouses energetic protest on the part of suburban residents who do business in Portland and do not relish the idea of being compelled to leave town much before 5 o'clock. There are a considerable number of these people, and they say they will get up a large peti tion against starting the evening train from Portland at an earlier hour than the present schedule. The Southern t Pacific Company has not yet como to any conclu sion as Xo the suggested train changes, but no change seems likely to be made while the demands are so conflicting. It may be found that the company exercised the highest wisdom in arranging the train schedules as they now are. TfEW TERMINAL AT SAN XTEANCISCD. In Interest of Transcontinental Said to Be Gonld's. SAN FRANCISCO. March 3. If there was ever a doubt that the San Francisco Terminal Railway & Ferry Company and the Stockton & Beckwlth Pass Railway Company will form the Pacific Coast con nection of another transcontinental rail way system, says the Examiner. It has been dispelled by the consummation of the greatest deal they have yet attempt ed. Representatives of the two corpora tions have Just acquired a freight ter minal In San Francisco at a cost of $ OW.OOO -which -will provide greater facil ities than either the Santa Fe or the Southern Pacific controls. The new ter minal is located in the Potrero. just north of Islais Creek, and comprises be tween 60 and 70 full blocks, containing more than 76 acres. The greater part of this property is submerged by the tide, and it will re quire an expenditure of $2,000,000 to Im prove it. but the projectors of the enter prise are ready to proceed with the work. It Is the general belief in railroad cir cles that George Gould Is furnishing the financial backing, and that the new road will form the "Western connection of his system, which now extends to Ogden. GOITLTJ'S TRAFFIC MANAGER. Vice-President Bird of the ailliTaa Icee Gets New Job. MILWAUKEE. "Wis.. March 3. The Evening Wisconsin today says: "Within the next SO days A. C.

Representa tives from many railroads have -witnessed a successful demonstration of a device for lighting railway cars with electricity. The invention was tested on a run over the New York Central to Croton and re turn, and the system will shortly be adopted. The light is generated by a dynamo op erated by a belt connected with the axle of tho car. When the train stops the lights are supplied from storage batteries in the car. A speed of only 12 miles an hour is needed to generate sufficient elec tricity to light the lamps. The surplus obtained at a higher rate of speed Is used automatically to recharge the batteries. The car -used in the test was equipped with 22 lamps of 16-candle power each. During the trip 46 stops were made, and no appreciable difference was noticed In the brilliancy of the lights. Floclflne to California. SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.

A Prominent Politician Is Convinced. At a recent club dinner given by news paper men at Washington, the conversa tion turned upon the subject of testi monials and their value In newspaper ad vertising. "I do not believe." said a promi nent politician who was present, "that one newspaper testimonial in a hundred. Is genuine." The owner of one of the largest news papers in the country was present and took up the subject vigorously, finally agreeing to let his opponent select any testimonial in his papers and wagering to establish Its genuineness to the politician's satisfaction. Quite by accident the case of Mr. New ton K. Young, of Pennington, N. J was selected. He had been completely cured of a case of hemorrhoids, or piles, by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. Tho politician was especially skeptical regarding this case, as it was alleged that Mr. Young was a man over SO years of age and had been cured of piles after 50 years of awful suffering and when all other remedies had tailed, it was agreed that the politician should write to Mr. George W. Scar borough. Ph. G., a prominent resident of Pennington and that the result of the controversy should rest upon his reply. The following was Mr. Scarborough's answer: "Dear Sir Mr. Newton K. Young, of this town, a man nearly SO years of age. and who has been a sufferer with piles lor. perhaps half a centurj has been com pletely cured by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. I felt especially interested In the case, as It was upon my recommendation that Mr. Young began the use of the remedy after having used so many others. Yours respectfully, George W. Scar borough, Ph. G." The Pyramid Drug Company, -of Mar shall. Mich., have this letter In their pos session and are willing to guarantee with a backing of 51000. the genuineness of Mr. Scarborough's testimony.

TOO MUCH FOR THE COURT Teanle Claflln Breaks Oat "When Ver dict Goes Aftalnst Her. LONDON. Marchl-J. H. Wallace, for merly secretary of the late Sir Francis Cook, today obtained a verdict for $3250 damages for libel against Lady Cook, better known as Tennessee Claflln, of New York.

On hearing the verdict Lady Cook sprang fromvher seat and shouted: "Lord Alverstone, I am an American and J want you to listen to me. Thl3 has cost me thousands of pounds and I have trusted myself In the hands of an English Judge and an English Jury I have witnesses from America. I can bring hundreds of witnesses. I want to go into the witness box myself." Chief Justice Alverstone -tried to stem the torrent of protest and asked Lady Cook to leave the court, but she contin ued to protest In loud tones until the Lord Chief Justice directed the .ushers to remove her. When an usher laid his hand on her arm. Lady Cook shouted. "Oh, don't pull mo out. I will walk out. I ought not to have trusted. I am a weak woman. I have done more for England and America than any one else." Tho last words heard as Lady Cook was disappearing from the court were: "My reputation Is ruined." NURSES GO ON STRIKE. Leave In a Body Because Superin tendent Is Not Removed. NEW YORK. March 3. Falling In their efforts to have their new superinten dent removed, the expert trained nurses of -the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary have left the institution in a body. Dr. Richard M. Derby, executive surgeon of the hospital, said that, their act not only seriously crippled the Infirmary tempo rarily, but that after their departure It was found that records of patients had been destroyed, lotions mixed, glasses and bottles disarranged and the keys of the instruments concealed. The strike of tho nurses placed the In stitution In a helpless state for a time, and It was necessary to ask assistance from other hospitals, in order to attend to the 67 patients who were in the wards. Recently it was thought desirable to get a new superintendent of nurses, and Miss Stewart, a graduate of the training school at the Presbyterian Hospital, was em ployed. The subordinates did not take kindly to the change of rule. IN HONOR OF JACKSON. Second Annual Dinner of American Patriotic Club.

Cathartic or purgative pills do more harm than good. Carter's Little Liver Pills do only good, but a large amount of that. Only one pill a dose So many diseased depend on Impure Mood Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the most widely useful medicine. ASK WHO IS TO BLAME (Continued from First Page.) shall speak of bad faith or bunco, his mind would involuntarily turn to the ac tions of "those from another place," al luding to the House conferees, "surround ing this very measure that we have la such a humiliating way surrendered to day." He said that the Senators on the committee had refused to allow provi sions for sites In the bill because thoy had agreed with the other committee not to do so, being assured that the bill could not pass the House if new sites were provicco. let the bill came back with many new altes and the Senate conferees were told they must now accept them or there would be no bill. He referred to the office of the White House as "that diminutive little wigwam which cost $64, 000; that wigwam or tepee; whose front yard Is a coal hole and whose backyard is a site for a decent building, to which this wigwam or tepee will serve as a porch or piazza. He said that If he could not make a better building for $5,000 he would owe an apology to those who saw It. He spoko of the large amounts that were being expended for public build ings. Immense sums, he said, had been asked for a Temple of Justice. $7,000,000 for tho Department of Commerce with 1300 employes, a mallbag shop and a hall of records. Continuing, Warren said: "I say it with shame that I vote all this great expenditure, this perfect ghost dance of Intoxicated Indulgence and extrava gance, while we have not time nor ability nor inclination to pay the debts we owe to those who have furnished supplies to this Nation." "Whenever a claim bill Is asked to be passed, the Senator, he said. Is looked upon as the paid representative of somb corporations. The Senato conferees, he said, had most reluctantly yielded and, so far as he was concerned, he owed an upology to the Senate for accepting what was "dished to us on the,bluC that we would have to take what they said or nothing." Fairbanks, chairman of the committee, said he did not understand that the House conferees were acting with any ungener ous motives. The conference report was agreed to. A Joint resolution was agreed to trans ferring all tho authority and Jurisdic tion conferred on the Secretary of the Treasury by the Immigration bill to the Secretary cf the Department of Com merce and Labor. Another Dig at Aldricli. Carmack then discussed the Philippines tariff bill, which, he said, was gasping out Its last hours on the table. Answer ing the statement of Aldrlch made to day, Carmack sold that Aldrlch himself was responsible for the defeat of his bill. Aldilch, he said, had not talked much because he was one of those Sen ators who did their talking through other men's mouths. He said that Hoar had a bill, but that he had anticipated that, if it occasioned debate, It would be aban doned. "The Senator is as mistaken as any benighted Individual ever was," replied Hoar. "We are all benighted In comparison with the luminous and illuminated In tellect of the Senator," said Carmack. Continuing he said he did not Intend to vote against honest principles of govern ment In order to favor men of his state: He declared that Mr. Oxnard. of the beet sugar trust, would never have consented that a bill should pass the Senate in this form If he believed It could possi bly have done hlra harm or have dona the Filipinos any good. QIcEnery of Louisiana then spoke -on the pending bill, the Philippine tariff bill. He said It was a scheme worked up by the sugar trust of the United States In order to get control of the sugar mar ket of the world and thus destroy the sugar Industry la the United States and control the entire output of the product of cane. An amendment was agreed to excluding from the free list cigars and cigarettes. The amendment Increasing the duty on sugar and tobacco from 25 to 50 per cent of the DIngley rate was agreed to on an aye and no vote. 29 to 10. Dubois and Patterson followed In op position to the bill. Patterson proceeded only a brief time when Tillman forced a roll call on a point of no quorum. After a quorum appeared, a House bill was passed appropriating $43,000 to refund the duties paid on merchandise brought Into the United States from Porto Rico be tween April 11, 1S99. and May 1, 1900, and also on merchandise brought into the United States from the Philippines be tween April 11, 1823, and March S, 1902. Quay Resurrects Statehood. Patterson then resumed his remarks and had spoken but a few minutes when he yielded to Quay, who said the debate on the Philippine bill was amusing. On a motion made by him at one time for a reduction of tariff, he had received a miserable vote of seven against tho en tire majority. He branched out on the statehood bill, which he said had been carried Into the gloom of the cavern of death and laid away for resurrection.
