THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, BEJTEM'BEK zz, xmvs. LAID MILES OF RAILS Busy Ljfe of Colonel J, Underwood Ended. M. HE CAPTURED SITTING BULL Fame as Railroad Constructor Was Won by Feat of Laying Northern Pacific Track Through Terri tory of the Hostile Sioux. Colonel J. M. Underwood, soldier, legis lator and railroad builder, died yesterday morning of Brlght's disease at his home.. S23 Corbett street, Portland. Though he was an intimate friend ot Presidents J. J. Hill, of the Great Northern, and C. S. Mellen, of the Northern Pacific, a man in -whom Sir William Van Horn, of the Canadian Pacific, reposed the utmost con fidence, he has resided quietly in Portland for the past three years, avoiding all railroad work and seeking escape from the disease which finally ended his life. For upwards of 20 years Colonel Undcr wood was a member of the Minnesota State Legislature, leaving that body in 1S95 because he had grown weary of active public life. In his younger days he had fought Indians, built railroad systems through a country filled with hostiles, and had an active part to play in blazing the way for progress across the continent. During the Civil War Colonel Underwood had served with a Maine artillery com pany, and at the close of the war was commissioned a Lieutenant In the artil lery branch of the Federal service. As such an officer he served at Fort Klamath in the latter '60s. His title of Colonel came years afterward, when he was given j a place on the staff of the Governor of j Minnesota. Colonel Underwood wanted to build rail- j roads. He was flred with that ambition while serving in the Army, and finally he resigned and began a systematic study of railroad work. He laid down a Lieuten ant's commission and gave up that com fortable salary to take a pick and shovel as a day laborer with a construction gang. For his first two months he drew 90 cents per day as a laborer, but promotion came rapidly, and before the year had ended he was drawing a salary of ?250 per month and had been intrusted with the direction of Important works. Shortly thereafter he took his first contract. Though Colonel Underwood has held the record for the largest amount of railroad, actually built under the direction of a single Individual during one year's time, his fame as a constructor rests upon his feat of laying the Northern Pacific tracks through the' Sioux country when Sitting Bull was contesting every foot of ground and a detachment of troops protected the gangs of railroad laborers as they laid the rails. Colonel Underwood used to tell the story of his captireof Sitting Bull and his action in holding him as a hostage to insure safety to his forces. The vet eran railroad contractor enjoyed the ex perience and related the story with a relish. Not infrequently Colonel Underwood himself directed the work of the troops as well as the operations o.f his gang of railroad laborers. His .daring dash for re lief during the time the Northern Pacific was pushing into Montana snoxed tyie character of the man. A fierce storm had imprisoned a small force of troops and Colonel Underwood's laborers in a dan gerous lit of country. Hostiles swarmed all about, and the supplies had run so low that the men were forced to kill their mules to sustain life. It became Impera tive that some one should go for relief or the entire party would die. A call lor volunteers failed to produce a man willing to undertake the journey, and finally Colo nel Underwood himself threw a light pack over his shoulders, gathered a pair of skis, apd, arirt' d with a rifle, set forth to summon aid. Though pursued by tho Sioux, he passed the ravages in safety and finally found a relief expedition that had been sent- out toward his party Colonel Underwood, fearing the relief par ty could not get through in time, suc ceeded in getting permission to take 40 men and attempt a dash toward the Im prisoned force. He succeeded in getting through in time to save all but three members of the 'railroad party. The main relief party was delayed so much longer that the entire railroad crew would have i starved but for Colonel Underwood's dash to their relief. His work on the Northern Pacific, In the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming, made Colonel Underwood's reputation as a rail road builder, but if there was anything lacking to finish it. Sir William Van Horn supplied the opportunity that Colonel Un derwood needed. It was at the time the Canadian Pacific engineers seemed blocked by the engineering difficulties in Crow's Nest Pass. Contractors would not guar antee the work, and finally Sir William Van Horn telegraphed Colonel Under wood to know whether he would accept the work. A favorable reply was given, and as a result of the telegraphic corre spondence Colonel Underwood mustered a construction crew and hurried the men and materials half way across the conti nent, to arrlye at the scene in less than a week's time from the day he had been summoned. During his work In the Cana dian mountains Colonel Underwood mado. his headquarters at Banff, and most of that part of the Canadian Pacific, famed for the scenic .surroundings, was built un der his direction. ' Colonel Underwood's work on the Great Northern was confined largely to Minne sota and the Dakotas. As an intimate friend of James J. Hill, Colonel Under wood enjoyed the confidence of that mag nate during the time the Great Northern was projected toward the Coast, and he aided materially in carrying forward the work. The record of between 700 and S00 miles of railroad actually built under the per sonal supervision of one man during a single year was made by Colonel Under wood, and the record stands as the great est feat accomplished by any contractor. During this year Colonel Underwood prac tically rebuilt the Duluth, Mlssabe & Northern, besides completing other Im portant railroad work. Colonel Underwood entered the Minne sota State Legislature In 1874, and with the exception of two terms when railroad work kept him out of the state, he served continuously up to the time he withdrew from public life, in 1895. He had ceased railroad work a year earlier. As a mem ber of the Legislature Colonel Underwood was the father of the act which created the Minnesota Board of Pardons, an act that was subsequently called- into play in the Younger cases. Colonel Underwood was 61 years of age. a native of Saco, Me., and a Mason Though he had spent some time in a Chi cago hospital before coming to Portland in 1S99. Colonel Underwood was so much benefited by the change that he made an extended mountain trip last year. It is probable he overtaxed his strength at that time, for he was reported to .have entered enthusiastically Into the venture, and to have shown the same recklessness that characterized his career In the mountains 30 years ago. After his- return his health failed, and his death yesterday was due to a return of an old malady. A widow survives him. A cousin, -F. S. Underwood, Is president of the Erie. The funeral is to be held Wednesday afternoon from the residence. Railroad Freisrht Agents Meet. A meeting of the railroad freight agents was held at the Hotel Portland yester day to discuss' freight matters of Inter est to the different lines. The meeting took no action on important matters, but a number of minor questions were settled. These pertained entirely to differences between the different roads. Among those who attended the meeting are: S. G. Ful ton, assistant general freight agent of the Northern Pacific; W. E. Coman, gen eral freight agent of the Southern Pacific lines In Oregon; R. B. Miller, general freight agent of the O. R. & N., all of Portland; W. TV. Broughion, of St. Paul, general freight agent and J. C Eden, of Seattle, assistant traffic director of the Great Northern. J.

T., returned yesterday, covered with glory, having won a hard fight to capture the first biennial convention of the asso ciation for Portland in 1905. The men to whom credit for this achievement Is due are Frank Stewart, chairman of the dele gation, W. P. Lyman, B. E. Flske and F. R. Bingley. All have returned except Mr. Bingley. who went on to England to visit his mother, who Is seriously ill and whom he has, not seen for 15 years. "We started the fight against odds," said Mr. Stewart, "for Minneapolis and Quln cy. 111., the other cities which sought the honor, had been working for some time, and Minneapolis has been after It for four years and has had a considerable fund raised, while Portland was- late in enter ing tne contest We arrived in Syracuse two days before the convention in order to get ahead of our competitors and rented a store-room between the principal hotel and the convention hall. We put up a big sign, 'Oregon headquarters," and decorated the room with bunting, then filled it with tables covered with literature about Ore gon and the Lewis and Clark Fair, photo graphs of Oregon scenery and souvenirs and served cigars and refreshment"?. Wc also had badges printed and pinned them on all delegates who would wear them. In a hall one evening we gave a stereoptlcon exhibition of Oregon scenery, with lantern slides furnished by Edward Shields, ,he Union Pacific Railroad having sent a man direct from Chicago to conduct the affair. We alsq got the newspapers to write up Oregon and the Lewis and Clark Fair. In speaking before the convention we laid special stress on the opportunity of seeing the West' If the convention were held here In 1903, on account of the low rates which would be made for the fair." "Where did you get the votes?" "We formed a combination with the del egatec: from the large cities, such as Washington, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadel phia, New York and New Orleans, by get ting their caucuses to endorse Portland, which gave us their solid vote. We also had the solid vote of the Pacific Coast delegations, but did not get much help from the Middle West. There were two strong factions on the election of officers and we picked the side which would have the determining vote on the choice of the convention city, though, as It turned, that was the only point on which this faction did win. But we got a considerable vote from the other faction and from the naller cities, and this, with the solid vote of the large cities of the Pacific Coast, gave us 715 votes out of a possible 1200 on the first ballot. Portland has such natural advantages that we can entertain a national conven tlon much cheaper than most places could. but we shall need help from the public in doing it We expect fully as many dele gates as there were at Syracuse, if not more. We shall also have those who want to sec the fair and many will bring their wives. We expect fullly 2000 people. After leavinK Syracuse we went to other Eastern cities. Everywhere we dls trlbated cards of the Lewis and Clark Fair and other advertising matter of the fair and Oregon and found the people much Interested In the state. Many of them said they were coming to the fair. One of these was W. Brookman Pfister, of the Arena, who said he would certainly come, and was gathering data for a series of ar ticles on Oregon "One point on which wewere not able to give the delegates much satisfaction was the question of hotel accommodation We simply had to promts that there would be enough hotels to accommodate them all by the time the convention meets in 1905, "The lantern slides tof Oregon scenery were the drawing card." said Mr. Flske. "We started showing them at a smoker given by the Syracuse carriers at. Turner Hall. The hall was only half full at nrst. but within 15 minutes after the stereoptl con show began It was packed. It is sur prising how little the people east of the Mississippi River Know ot tms country. 'Not one In a thousand knows there is to be a fair In Portland. The Lewis and Clark Fair Commission should lose no time In advertising it I do not believe it could do better than send men East with stere- optlecn views of Oregon scenery. The peo pie in the East arc beginning to have the Western fever. "The need of more hptels ought to have more attention. We have been making all kinds of promises to get conventions and, if we are not going to do anything to in crease our hotel accommodation, we had better stop trying. The hotels cannot now accommodate the normal Western travel at this time, yet that is bound to increase Instead of decrease. .Then how are we to provide for the crowds that will come to the Lewis and Clark Fair and to the conventions which will meet here In 1905? With the present steady increase of nor mal travel, there Is no danger that several new hotels would not find business enough after the fair is over. "We shall have a great deal to do if we are" to equal Syracuse In the entertain ment given the delegates. The carriers took 2000 people to the Thousand Islands, and gave excursions to Niagara Falls and to a summer resort called Valley, whero they gave a dance and vaudeville enter talnment They gave the ladles theater parties and trolley rides and took them to the salt mines. "We have to thank the business men of Portland for the financial aid they gave us. Without it we should not have been able to accomplish what we did." 1 Return From Irrigation Congrrcss. THE DALLES, Or., Sept 2L (Special.) Hon. E. L. Smith and ex-Representa- tlvo Moody, of The Dalles, returned this morning from the National Irrigation Congress at Ogden.

ENGINEER JS MISSING ETTA SAILS FR03I SAX FRAXCISCO "WITHOUT THE OFFICER. , Hansen Believed to Have Met Death by Foul Play or Accident on Oakland Long Wharf. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 21. (Special.) The German steamer Eva left here for Portland yesterday without C. Hansen, her chief engineer, on board, and it is thought that the man must have met his death either by accident or foul play, as Captain Peterson can put no other con struction upon the mysterious disappear ance ot Hansen, whom he regarded as a man of most 60ber and steady habits. Hansen went ashore the other day from the Eva, which was lying alongside oak land long wharf, and was last seen at the ferry building on Friday evening tak ing the boat for the other side. Oakland long wharf is a dangerous place to walk along. It Is most likely that he was done to death at the hands of thugs, as, he carried considerable money with hlmat the time. Hansen came over to this city early Friday morning with considerable money in his pocket and purchased a number of articles, which were taken aboard by John Gateley, boatman. Later, he visited the shlpchandlery store of Charles Cat- termole, at the northwest corner of Davis and Broadway streets, and when he left the nlace stated that he was going to Oakland Long Wharf to go on board his steamer. He did not reach the Eva, however, and Captain Peterson kept his vessel at the wharf for several hours to await his coming. Saturday morning the Eva hauled into the stream and her sailing was postponed in the hope that the chief engineer would appear during the day. When yesterday morning, the missing en gineer had not put In his appearance. Captain Peterson ordered anchor weighed and steamed out of the harbor with the first assistant engineer at the throttiet Before leaving, Captain Peterson sent a letter to the German Cqnsul In this city In which he gave a description of Hansen and Inclosed his photograph. UNDER THE AMERICAN" FLAG. Chnnce Contemplated by the OccI dental & Orluntnl Line. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 21. Steamers flying the American flag are to be ope rated by the Occidental & Oriental Steam ship Company In place of the three Brit ish steamers now running to the Orient, It has been known for some time that the steamers comprising the line would be supplanted by other and larger ves sels, but only recently has It leaked out that the vessels would be under the American flair. The Occidental &. Oriental Steamship Company at present operates the British liners Doric. Gaelic and Coptic, and these vessels are run in conjunction with the Pacific Mail steamers and the vessels of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha Steamship Com pany. The vessels are chartered from the White Star Line, and have been plying between this port and the Orient for the past 25 years. Being foreign bottoms, the steamers are not permitted: to carry passengers and freight between this port and Honolulu, and so are handicapped in competing with the Pacific Mall steam ers. The suDsutution oi American, doi- toms for the Britishers will place tjie O, & O. line on an equal footing with the Pacific Mall. It Is not known whether the new steam ers will be chartered, purchased or built They will, however be as larjje as the Korea and Siberia. Some time ago It was stated mat several oi me larger vessels of the White Star Line were coming out to this Coast to take the nlaco of the Doric and her sister shins, This Is denied by the offlolals of the company, whostate that larger vessels will be placed on the China run LONG VOYAGE WITHOUT STOPS. Stenmer Texnn Leaves Taconia for Delaware Breakwater. TACOMA, Sept 21. The steamship Texan sailed today for Delaware Break water direct, which Is the longest steam ship voyage ever attempted, without stop, The distance Is 13,900 miles and Captain Morrison hopes to make it in 50& days As a usual thing, steamers leaving Puget Sound for the Atlantic Coast ports, stop either at San Francisco or some of the South American jjorts for coal. Theso stops the Texan will not make unless It be on account of accident She has taken on 4100 tons of coal at this port and that amount Is expected to see her Into the Atlantic port The Texan carries an enormous cargo of sugar, canned salmon and general freight After she passes out of the straits, she will head directly for the Straits of Magellan and from there direct for Delaware Breakwater. COAL SHIP OX FIRE. Cargo of the St. Frances, at Dutch Harbor, Is Unrnlng-. VICTORIA. B. C Sept 2L H. M, Shearwater, ' which reached Comox from Behring Sea, reports that the American coal laden ship St Frances is at Dutch Harbor with her cargo on fire. Tho United States Steamship Manning was alongside preparing to flood the ship. The fire was discovered in the forward hatch September 7, some COO miles south of Dutch Harbor, and mado such headway that It was thought at one time it would become necessary to abandon the vessel. The crew, however, by working the pumps continuously, succeeded In keeping the fire in check until Dutch Harbor was reached. The St Frances left Puget Sound early last month with a cargo of 6000 tons of coal consigned to the Alaska Commercial Company. Launch Party's Narrow Escape. "VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept 2L-(Spe- clal.)

Spencer Come In Ahead. The most Interesting feature of the steamboat rate war yesterday was the ar rival of the Charles R.' Spencer ahead of the Bailey Gatzert The Spencer came in at 3:30 P. M. fnd the Gatzert 20 minutes later. Both steamers brought their usual crowds of passengers. The delay in the arrival of the Regulator boat was caused by her stopping at a number of way land ings in the upper river-, thus allowing the Spencer to reach the docks first Reloading: the Two .Brothers. ST; HELENS, Or.. Sept 21. (Special.) The ship Two Brothers, of San Francisco. Is now at the dock of the Lone Star Lum ber Company, completing her cargo here. A portion of the lumber taken on at Van couver, Wash., was unloaded on scows so that the vessel could reach deep 'water. The scows are being brought down the river to this point, where the lumber is being reloaded on the vessel. Alaska Salmon Shipments. SEATTLE, Sept 21.

To thoroughly and permanently cure a patient Is the greatest pos sible satisfaction to us. We would rather treat a patient at a positive lossof money and time than to dis charge him uncured. It Is and has been our policy to accept no case unless we have entire confidence in our ability to cure, and do posi tively cure every case that we ac cept. Because we have acquired a thorough knowledge of man's ail ments and have devised original and absolutely scientific methods of treating them, we can and do cure cases that' others have failed to cure. Therefore, those who have been disappointed In their efforts to obtain a cure should not hesitate to consult us. Our practice has grown because we have treated every patient with the utmost con sideration and regard for his inter ests. MEN'S DISEASES ONLY "Weakness " To produce temporary activity of the functions In cases of so-called "weakness" Is asimple matter, but to permanently restore strength and vigor Is a problem that but. few physicians have solved. We never treat for temporary effects. Under our system of treatment every bit of Improvement is a part of a per manent cure. Though other physi cians have, through our success In eftectlng permanent cures, been convinced of the fact that prema tureness, loss of power, etc., are but symptoms resulting from chronic Inflammation or congestion in the prostate gland, none have as vet been able to duplicate our cures. Our system of combined local treatment Is the only effective means yet known for restoring the prostate gland to its normal state, which always results in full and complete return of strength and vigor. Such a cure is absolutely responsible for the functional dis order is entirely removed. It is the only kind of a cure a patient de sires, and is the only kind of a cure we treat for. Specific Blood Poison We cure this leprous disease com pletely. The system Is thoroughly cleansed and every poisonous- taint removed. The last symptom van ishes to appear no more, and all Is accomplished by the use of harm less blood-cleansing remedies. Contracted Disorders " We have reduced the time re quired for curing contracted dlsor aers about one-naif. This Is an Important achievement It replaces danger with safety. It forestalls chronic complications. It removes the infection and Inflammation be fore that vital center, the prostate gland, can become involved. Very frequently It means the difference between perfect health and a llfe--ime of misery and functional weakness. Our method is ours alone, and our treatment is origi nal; In some features It resembles the ordinary; in Its chief essentials it Is different. In results it Is en tirely different It Is safe, promp't and thorough. Operations Some deformities and disorders render circumcision advisable, and In all such cases we offer a service not to be had elsewhere.
