14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1903. FIGHT FOR BUSINESS Rock Island Road Adds More "Outside Men." EASTERN LINES ADD TO STAFFS Agent Say Movement Is for Purpose of Klicntlnc Merser Companies for Tramc, Which Ther Sar Goes to the Bnrllnstton Principally. The Rock Island yesterday added Louis Itsu to Its staff of "outside men" In this city. The Wisconsin Central Intends to add another outside man 'within a day or two, and all the other Eastern lines are now represented In Portland to an ex tent never known before. The agenta In charge of the offices give the general ex planation that the Increase In their forces lr duo to big gains In business, but among railroad men there Is another feeling showing. It Is believed by railroad men that the Eastern lines are Increasing their forces for the purpose of fighting the merger lines on Eastern business. Of course, this is not the only reason for the change, but it la held to be the principal one. There is a strong complaint urged against the policy of the merger lines In routing Eastern business over the Bur lington. Tae Union Pacific has long fa vored the Northwestern, end the outside lines, through their representatives, claim the onjy chance they have for Western luislness Is through a hard, organized right. This, they Intimate. Is the real rea son for the recent Increases In the num ber, of outside men employed by the roads represented In the Northwest. The Increase In representation Jn the Northwest has been gaining steadily since the railroads announced the policy of doing away with commissions a few years ago. Theretofore the general agents reaped a harvest through their work of routing passengers and freight over con necting lines, but after the general agree ment was promulgated the Eastern lines began to Increase their agencies on the Coast and to make their own fight for business. The merger followed, and this, railroad men insist, has decreased the chances of Eastern lines for local busi ness. Among the railroad men connected with the transcontinental systems little cre dence Is given the report that the mer ger lines have refused to Elve the East ern connecting systems a fair show for all business. They hold the Held Is open and no discrimination Is or will be shown. The representatives of the lines that run out of SL Paul and Chicago tell a dif ferent story. They hold they are com pelled to make an unusually hard fight for traffic, or the Coast lines will throw the balance of trade against them. For that reason they Insist the policy of In creasing the number of "outside men,'' and adding to the total number of agen cies maintained will continue. The appointment of Mr. Rau by the Rock Island surprised some of the rail road men. They had believed the road had all the men In this city that the traf fic warranted, and the addition of a new man Is held to mean a fight for business along new lines. Mr. Rau has been con nected with public affairs for several years, and, while he Is not a railroad man, he has a large number of friends and strong connections that have created considerable Interest In his work. WILL HAKE XO RCV1SIO.X. Time Card of ). It. Jfc X. Is Satisfac tory Xo Chnnce Before 31 nr. The Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company has abandoned temporarily, at least all talk of a revision of the time card during the coming Summer. Though there has been some preliminary work done by railroad officials, the card has been put away, and for the present there will be no change In the running time of the O. R. & X. and Union Pacific trains. The talk of a new time card has been based principally upon the fact that the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line has made poor connections with the O. R. & N. The road east of Huntington has not been operated as near the time card as the western end of the system. There has been considerable talk to the effect that the time card would have to be re vised In order that Union Pacific trains could make good with their schedules. The showing of the past few days demon strates that during the Summer at least the card can be made effective. An effort to make better connection and better time for the Spokane train has Been expected from O. R. & N. officials, but nothing has been done In this mat ter. The railroad officials are unable to take any steps until the eastern time xard -of the road Is changed. The Spokane "train now leaves Portland at t F. II. While there has been no complaint re garding this leaving time from patrons of the system, the railroad officials them selves have believed an Improvement could be made. If a change In the time card of the O. R. & N. Is to be made. It will not come "until May. By that time the railroad of. flclals will be able to tell positively wheth er there Is a likelihood of maintaining better time throughout the Summer sea son. When this question is answered the time-card problem will be met. The Northern Pacific has already an nounced an Intention of making very few changes. The trains might be shifted so as to make an hour or two's difference in their running in and out of Portland. Be yond such a modification of the time card no change by the Northern Pacific Is probable. The Southern Pacific will probably not attempt any change In running time this summer. The present time card Is jrarded as satisfactory by the officials of the line. and. moreover, the question of ferrying between Benlda and Port Costa Is an obstacle In the way' of 'making ensnges. The time card must be so arranged that all trains can be handled, and the Ean Francisco-Portland line will be allowed to continue as It Is unless the Eastern scaedules are revised. On the whole, there is less likelihood of a general change in time schedules this Summer than at any previous sea son. The O. R. & N. has sent out a larm crew of workmen to make general repairs to its system. The men are engaged In repairing the tracks and In replacing the old bridges. As rapidly as possible the company Is putting In steel bridges to take the places of the wooden structures that have done service for several This work has Just commenced, and will do continued aunng the entire Summer. The other roads wtu follow this practice. XXILAXD'S PROMOTION POPULAR. Becomes Third Vice-President of Chicago, Milwaukee Jt St. Paul. The promotion of "Jim" Hlland to be come third vice-president of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul, with the duties of tramc manager, which has Just been an nounred. has been received with favor in Portland. Mr. Hlland is one of the most popular railroad men In the country, and he has a number of friends In Portland. He has been connected with the Mllwau kee foe About fifteen years, and has oc cupied executive positions with American railroad llnea tor more than a score of years. Mr. Hlland was made general traffic manager for the Chicago. St. Paul. Alln neapolta & Omaha In 1SSZ, and held that position for more than three years. Dur- In a very aerere illness. In IBS, at a time when be was not expected to survive. a. B. Clarke was appointed to succeed Mr. HIkiul jlo traffic mantnr. When Mr. lii- Tand surprised hU friends and attending physicians by recovering, his posiuon was cone, bat the road created a vacancy in the position or general freight agent for him. This did not salt Mr. HiUnd's friends. and It was not agreeable to him. As a result he was elected chairman of the Missouri Valley Passenger Association. with headquarters at St- Louis, in is ne was made chairman of the Minneapolis Millers' Association at a salary of 110.000 per annum, and when that organization went out of existence, about a year and a half later, he was made Southwestern agent for the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul, with headquarters at Kansas City. This Is a position he held for nearly ten years. Three years ago he was made traffic manager for the company, and has now been promoted to become third vice president. The office of traffic manager is abolished, Mr. Blland continuing to at tend to the duties of this office In connec tion with the work In his new position. politicxaxs must pay. Free Tranaportatlo Beyond State Boundaries Is Barred. Politicians have finally received definite notice that the provisions ot the El kins bill will be observed by all railroads. This means that no transportation will be granted In return for political favors out side the state within which the politician applying for the same resides. There Is a consensus of opinion among attorneys representing the Northwest roads that nothing in the Elklns bill pro hibits the granting of political transpor tation within the state where the favored politicians reside. But It Is also held that none of the roads is permitted to give general transportation without endanger ing the officers to a term of Imprison ment. This Interpretation of the law has been applied within the past few days In cases where the railroads would have been glad to have stretched a point. The roads have turned down some of the most Im portant politicians of the States of Wash ington and Oregon in their applications for general transportation. According to the railroad attorneys' rul ings there is no obstacle In the way of granting transportation to actual em ployes of the road, and this has been done in a few cases. But the politicians who have aided the railroads In the past and who are asking for continued favors are not in a position where they can dsmand their favors as employes. As a result they are shut out. Apparently there Is no question, hut that the railroads Intend to adhere to the pro visions of the Elklns bill without any dis crimination. They Insist that the poli ticians must abide by the results of the action of Congress, as well as the ship pers and other railroad patrons. while the Northwest roads wtu not au thorize the statement, there Is little doubt but that they have hailed the Elklns bill with delight, for they have been com pelled In the past to grant transporta tion to a large number of persons whom they believed should have paid fare. They never bad any real desire to do so, but could not draw a line that could be main tained. Under the new law all persons can be placed under the same list, and though In some oases it hurts the roads to refuse, transportation. In general it is regarded as an advantageous move. Of course it is possible, under the cir cumstances, to give free tickets to friends of the road. This may even be done In some circumstances, as the only thing In volved In such a policy is a question of bookkeeping. But the danger that would follow a general adoption of this plan is so great that It Is not likely to be fol lowed in many cases. Some of the politicians whom the rail roads are anxious to keep In line have been turned down within the past few days, and this probably means that the smaller iry will not receive much consid eration. Opinions on the law. together with the interpretation given by the Interstate Commerce Commission, have been re ceived at local offices during the past few days. These Indications of the law s pur port will be followed as closely as pos sible. WAXT BETTER REPRESENTATION. Lines East of Chicago Castlne About for Headquarters Here. The lines east of Chicago are taking steps to become better represented In the Northwest. Most of these lines are al ready represented here by general freight and passenger agents, and the remain der are casting about for headquarters. Portland Is apparently the point that Is generally accepted by railroad men as the center of. the business for Northwestern points. Practically all ot the Eastern lines are represented here now, and the steps taken by others look toward the establishment of headquarters In this city. H. E. Derlng. assistant general passen ger agent of the Pennsylvania, has been In Portland for several days. It is ex pected by local railroad men that he will put In a general agent of the system he represents. A. s. J. Holt represents the company as general passenger agent at Seattle. The Wabash nrstem Is to be represented In the Northwest In the future by W. S. Coman as traveling passenger agent. Mr. Coman has been chief rate clerk In the passenger department of the O. R. & N. The Erie has established an agency in Seattle which may look after the interests ot the entire Northwest. The establishment of these new agen cles gives the lines east of Chicago the following representation: Erie, W. F. Osborne. Seattle, freight agent, recently transferred from Meadvllle. Pa.; Lake Shore, B. R. IngersoU. North Pacific freight agent. Seattle: Michigan Central. H. C Eckenberger, general agent, Port land: Lehigh Valley. P. L. Sinclair, gen eral freight and passenger agent, Seattle and Portland: Empire Fast Freight Line, vacancy existing, M. Madison having Joined the uurllngton: Pennsylvania. F. N. Kollock, general freight and passen ger agent at Portland; A. J, Holt, freight and passenger agent at Seattle: Vender- bilt system. W. C. Seachrlst. .North Pa cific Coast passenger agent, Portland. VERY LITTLE CHANGE. New Tlmecard of Northern Pacific Will Alter Present Schedule tittle, The proposed revision of the Northern Pacific tlmecard win not affect the bus iness of Portland -wholesalers to any ma terial extent. It Is proposed by the rail road officials to so revise the schedule that the trains running In and out of Portland will adhere pretty closely to ex isting conditions. "I do not believe there will be any marked change," declared Assistant Gen eral Passenger Agent A. D. Charlton, dls. cussing the Northern Paclfl'c Summer tlmecard yesterday. "It is likely there will be some slight revision in order to meet Summer conditions, but this will not be serious. "At present Portland has a mornlnt afternoon and evening train out ot toll city. The arrival of trains shows a slm liar arrangement. Certainly nothing bet tcr could be asked Dy business men. "While It Is probable the new train schedule will make a slight change in the running time of trains. I think I am per fectly safe in saying there will be. trains arriving and departing within an hour or so of the present schedule. This means Portland's Interests will be fully pro tected." REMEMBERED THE WIDOW. Farmers of ChrUtlHa Valley Pat In Her Entire Crop In One Day. Mrs. J. S trick, a widow with five small children, living In Christilla Valley, known as the Deardorff Settlement, was amazed as well as surprised to see eight men with six teams, plows, harrows and wagons, drive to her farm on the morn' lng of March X. They frMUd bar, aad presently the whole force went to work on her farm of 40 acres of land, is ol which are under cultivation. Her neighbors bad learned that she was unable to get her ground plowed and seed ed, and they entered In an arrangement to do the work for her gratis. Under the direction of Charles MoU, they plowed up about 15 acres ot land, planted potatoes, grass seed, oats, plowed up the orchard. Beiore the close of the day they had put In her entire crop, and It had not cost her a cent. The party brought their own luncheon, so they did not "eat the widow out ot house and home" before they were through with the Job. Mrs. S trick was very grateful to her neighbors. Those who did the work were Charles Moll. Mr. Bus ford, Mr. Poulsen, A. L. Strlckrott. A. Bruckman. George Bruckman. Dell Moll. Charles Hosier. Miss Bruckman. Mrs. Charles MoU. Mrs. Jtusford and Miss E. Moll assisted In pre paring the dinner. J. B. Beardorff. who could not be there, provided seed pota toes. The men who did the work said they never enjoyed a day's work more than they did that one. FRUIT ME2T FIGHT RAILROADS. Interstate Commission Will Investi gate Pooling la California. SAN FRANCISCO. April 2. The Inter state Commerce Commission is coming to this state, and on next Tuesday will begin its session In Los Angeles. The main matter to be Investigated Is the alleged pooling arrangement between the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroad Companies, which, it is charged, divided the California tramc, to the disadvantage of shippera The Southern California Fruit Exchange and certain other big shippers of citrus fruits, who are represented In a company known as the Consolidated Forwarding Company, are the plaintiffs in the action, and both the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe are made defendants. Just what effect the formation of the shipping combine In Southern California will have on the case before the commis sion Is a matter that Is causing quite a little speculation at present, says the Chronicle. The combine effected by Presl. dent A. JfcL. Kaltzger. of the Southern Cali fornia Fruit Exchange, whereby ail of the citrus fruit shipping Interests In the state have been consolidated in one big corpora tion. Is a sew factor In the situation and one which the railroads will have to take Into consideration. It Is believed by some that the power which Naftzger will now wield as the absolute dictator of the shipping interests will enable him to enforce some of the demands for which shippers have been contending for several years. SNOW IS ALL GONE. Southern Pacific Lines Between Port land and 'Frisco All Clear. Officials of the Southern Pacific an nounce that all the snow In the moun tains on the line between Portland and San Francisco has gone off. The snow fall during the last Winter was lighter than usual, and it melted during the past few weeks. There Is rarely any danger of floods on the Southern Pacific any later than February, and practically no damage was done this year during that month. The operation of trains has not been attended by any special trouble, and the disappearance of all snow on the line in dicates that the system will be kept clear. A large force of men Is employed on the Oregon lines of the Southern Pacific making extensive improvements to the roadbed, and it is expected the line will be got Into first-class condition. Ultl mately it is the plan of the company to shorten the time between Portland and San Francisco, and the Improvements to me roaaoea are airected toward that end. THROUGH LOWER CALIFORNIA, Mexico Offers llarrtman Terms for a Railroad. SAN FRANCISCO, April 2. E. H. Har- riman is to get a valuable land and cash concession from President Diaz, of Mexi co, on condition that he build a railroad In Lower California that shall extend Its en tire distance north and south and have a connection with the main line ot the Southern Pacific' in. California, says the Examiner. A company will be shortly In corporated In Mexico to build the proposed line. The portion of the new road In this state will be known aa the Gulf & Imperial Company, The latter is already building a road from Old Beach, a station on the Southern Pacific main line-in the Colora do desert, south to the Colorado River, a distance of 10 miles. Twenty-eight miles of this line is now completed. The remain der of the distance to the river Is sur veyed, and a preliminary survey through most of Lower California has been made.

Will Be Changed From Coal to Wood Burner Vancouver Coast Wreckage. The John McCrakerL the tender of the Port of Portland dredge Columbia, has ar rived up and is lying at the foot of Couch street, where a little work is to be done on her yet before she Is ready to go into ser vice. As the builders turned her out. she was fitted for coal burning, but a new grate will be put in to allow her to use wood fuel, such as Is burned on the dredge. The derrick Is to be fitted with blocks and tackle and the galley fitted up. It will take about four or five days to complete the work, when the tender will be officially turned over to the Port ot Portland Commission. It is expected to have the trial trip on the river next Tues day, before accepting the boat. Captain Whltcomb, formerly of the steamer xrH who iiaa been chosen as captain of the McCraken. brought the ten der up from Astoria. She made the run up in 3V4 hours against a good current and with several stop The run from the mouth of the Willamette to the steel bridge was made in IS minutes, which Is a good showing. Jit," ST KEEP OCT OF RANGE. Danger Zone Established at Esqui mau Harbor. An order In council has been issued by Deputy Minister of Marine Gourdeau. ot Ottawa, Canada, warning mariners not to anchor their craft in range of the big guns at the entrance of Esquimau Harbor. Collector of Customs Patterson has received a copy, which reads aa fol lows: , Whereas. It Is considered necessary to set apart a portion ot Esquimau road stead In order to enable the Imperial Ar tillery to practice with the heavy guns protecting Esquimau Harbor; "Therefore, the Governor-General In Council is pleased to order that the rules and regulations for the government of ports as established by the order in council of the 12th June 1SS3. shall be and the same are hereby further amended by add ing to section 37, which was made and established by the order In council of the 23d April. ISM. the following sub-section: Section 17 (b). For the purpose ot al lowing a clear space to practice the heavy guns established on Rodd Hill and in His Majesty's dockyard at the entrance to Esquimau Harbor, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, vessels arriving in Royal Roads, between the lSth May and the 15th September In each year, must anchor to the westward of a line drawn from Duntze Head to Race Rocks light house, and not less than one nautical mils distant from Duntze Head. Vessels an chored to the eastward of this limit will be given 21 hours' notice to move out of the danger zone, and any charges incurred In moving such vessel shall be borne by the vessel.' "This order must be observed by all mariners." MAY BE THE ANCONA. Wreckage Found On Vancouver Is land Coast, VICTORIA, B. a. April 2. Further evi dence of disaster having befallen one ot the lumber carriers from Puget Sound was received from the ships Rahane and In vermark. which arrived yesterday, the former from Liverpool and the latter from Callao. A few days ago news was given of the finding of new lumber and the stern of a ship a boat marked "Liverpool on the Vancouver Island coast. Now, ac cording, to the reports received by the Rahane and Invermark. a quantity of wreckage and new lumber is drifting southwest of Cape Flattery. captain Scott, of the Rahane. said: "We passed a quantity of wreckage. It Included the mast-partners of some sailing vessel, several. epars with bolts attached. a beam and a small amount of lumber. It was sighted about ISO miles southwest of Flattery." It was within a few miles of this that the Invermark sighted a quantity ot new lumber. No clue can be obtained as to what vessel this wreckage Is from, but It is generally thought that the ship Ancona is me one which has been in trouble, for the reason that she put to sea In the teeth of the heavy gale which blew 76 miles an hour on March 10.

AN ILLUSTRIOUS ENTENTE Colorado to Be Scene ot Most Edify ing; Psychological Conjunction, Washington Post, We ball with patriotic Joy the rap prochement of President Roosevelt and the Junior Senator from Colorado. It Is a psychological conjunction. The Presi dent and Mr. Patterson are wide apart on every Issue of politics and statesman ship. Mr. Patterson has been quite as active and almost as frequent as Mr. Carmack In opposition to the Adminis tration's Philippine policy. He disagrees with the President as to finance, the tariff and all other burning questions of the day. But the two have met upon a common ground at last the ground of bears and the entente may be said to be complete. Speaking of this roseate consummation. we should explain that the bears referred to are residents of Colorado, and the tie that binds the President to Mr. Patter son is the harmonious purpose to kill, slaughter and generally exterminate the same. Mr. Patterson has convinced the President that. In ridding the Colorado rural districts of bears he will bestow great benefits upon the state, while sur feiting his appetite for bloody conflict with savage and carnivorous beasts. The Senator, in fact has unfolded tale calculated to melt the tough est heart. He has told Mr. Roose velt that' the northern part of Colorado Is lairiy overrun by bears: that bears pre vail everywhere In large and devastating numbers; they prowl about with the ut most Impudence, drinking whisky, eating up rabbits and chickens, even slapping goats and hogs In the wild exuberance of dissipation. They are at once the terror and the affliction of the entire region. They go where they please, do what fancy prompts, and otherwise appall the very oldest citizens. Northern Colorado Is simply crying out for Mr. Roosevelt quite as loudly as Mr. Roosevelt Is crying out for bears. He wants blood; the peo ple want a chance to raise poultry: here is a situation that fits the President like the paper on the wall. W e believe we c-1 promise that this will be a big hunt, with a plenty of real bears and eight or ten bags of scalps. The President says he will not stop oft for any 'grandstand plays" along the way. He proposes td shoot straight through to Col orado on the fastest train he can procure. ana there, with Patterson as his partner in carnage, descend like two avalanches upon the bears. Later In the season. when he attends the dedication ceremo nies of the St. Louis fair, he will make a tour through the districts where anxious millions wait; but as soon as the Senate adjourns he intends to break for Colorado without a halt. The bear-ridden sections of the state ore holding, out their hands to him and blubbering aloud for rescue. The bears themselves defy him. WHY, Its a case of duty's clarion call. Cndahy Wants Another Receiver. TRENTON. N. J.. April Z-John Cudahv today filed in the United States Circuit Court a petition for the removal of Thomas E. McGovern as one of the re ceivers of the Pacific Packing & Naviga tion uompany. A. rule to show cause was granted, returnable in this city on April 13. Cudahy charges that McGovern is not qualified to act Impartially as a receiver. because be is president and owner of one- third of the stock of the Pacific Selling Company, formed' for the bandllnxr nf goods ot the Pacific Packing & Naviga tion Company.

A Remedy Which Has Rervolntlon JsedV the Treatment of Stom ach Tronblea. The remedy Is not healded as a won derful discovery nor yet a secret patent medicine, neither Is It claimed to cure anything except dyspepsia. Indigestion and stomach troubles with which nine out of ten suffer. The remedy Is In the form of pleasant tasting tablets or lozenges, containing vegetable and fruit ess-nces. pure as eptic pepsin (Government test.) golden seal and diastasis. The tablets are sold by. druggists under the rarae of Stuart's Dyspepsia Taouts. iiany interesting ex periments to test the digestive power, of Stuart's Tablet show that one grain of the active principal contained In them is sufficient to thoroughly digest 2000 grains of raw meat; eggs and other wholesome food. Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the bowels like after dinner pills and cheap cathartics, which simply Irritate and In flame the- Intestines without having any effect whatever in digesting food or cur ing indigestion. If the stomach can be rested and as sisted In the work of digestion It will very soon recover Its normal vigor, as no organ Is su much abused and overworked as the stomach. This Is tbe secret. If there Is any secret. of the remarkable success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy practically unknown a- few years ago and now the most widely known ot any treatment for stomach weakness. This success has been secured entirely upon Its merits as a digestive pure and simple because there can be no stomach trouble If the food Is promptly digested. oruart s uyspepsia Tasiets act entirely on tbe food eaten, digesting It completely. so mat it can do assimilated Into blood, nerve and tissue. They cure dyspepsia, water brash, sour stomach, gas and bloating after meals, because they fur- msn tee digestive power which weak stomachs lack and unless that lack Is supplied It Is useless to attempt to cure by the use of "tonics." "pills" and- ca thartics which have absolutely no dlges- Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found at all drug stores and the regular use of one or two of them sfter meals, will dem onstrate "their merit better than any other argument.

Has There is nothing so good In cases of chronic headache as Dr. Stiles' Nervine. It restores the disordered nerves to their nor mal condition and banishes headache forever. "My trouble was headache, chronic to as to be almost continual. I had been In this condition ever since I could remember and I am now fortr-seven yean old. My father was a great sufferer from the same complaint and my son has shown sins of similar affec tion. When the attacks would appear, my stomach would often become affected and I would grow dizzy and faint and often had to quit my work and lie down. I am a sta tionary engineer and found it hard to bold a place with such a heavy handicap. About siz years ago I began taking- Dr. Mlies' Re storative ftervine and tines that time I have used in alL fourteen bottles. The number cf bottles taken was not really required as I think the cure was completely effected after takin? the second bottle. Hiving scarcely seen the time la thirty years I was free from headache, I could not believe the perma nent cure to be made to toon, to I continued its use until 1 was thoroughly convinced. Six persons to whom I have recommended the remedy have experienced equally gratifying results, the only difference between their case and mine Wnz In tae severity of the trouble cured-" Edcak W.
